Part 7 Aman and Arnav

Arnav waited for the right time to call Aman. He had to do that secretly because these people should not know about it. He waited for NK to sleep. After making sure that he slept, Arnav removed the phone from under the pillow and called Aman.

On the other side, Aman could not sleep as he didn't get anything about Arnav. His face brightened, seeing ASR flashing on his mobile. He was not sure that Arnav was the one who called him. He kept the phone in his ear nervously.

*Aman...*

Hearing Arnav's voice, Aman shouted,

*ASSSSRRRRR... how are you, man? Where the hell are you? *

As Arnav didn't interrupt him,

*Are you alright? * Aman asked emotionally.

*I'm alright*

*do you know how sad your family members are? *

*I know...*

*Where are you...? *

*I'm in RED HILLS Village I jumped for the car when it fell into the valley. I got a lot of injuries. My leg got broken. An Ayurveda Doctor saved me and treating me in his place*

*Thank God, give me the address. I will come there*

*Listen to me... You no need to come here...*

Arnav's that stance shocked him like anything.

*But why ASR? *

*I said listen to me...*

*Ok tell me*

*People who organized the conference should be tracked. And also AR staff. I want to know who the hell is behind the accident... * Though Arnav's voice was low Aman sensed danger in it. Who else other than Aman understands Arnav's gestures?

*Ok... I will take care of it*

*No one should know I'm alive until we find out the culprit*

*Raizadas?*

*No...*

*Anjali? *

*I said no...*

*But, ASR... they have broken down yaar...*

*If you said the truth, their action will reveal I'm alive. I don't want that to happen until we find out the person*

*Ok* Aman sighed.

*If they got to know about me... you will be fired...* Arnav warned.

Aman sighed again.

*Ok... but why should not I meet you? *

*People in this clinic don't know who I'm...*

*Of course, Village people couldn't know the great ASR... So what? *

*I don't want them to know who I'm...*

*I didn't get you...* Aman was confused.

*A girl is here...*

*Girl...? * Aman's voice became excited because it's ASR who was talking about GIRL.

*Her one and only inspiration are...ASR...ME*

*I really can't understand...*

*She likes ASR but she doesn't like me...*

*Oh...*

*I don't want her to know I'm ASR until she comes to AR.*

*Will she come? *

*Definitely...*

*How? *

*With me...*

*But she doesn't like you...*

*But she likes ASR...*

*But she doesn't know who ASR is...*

*I will manage...ok? *

*Ok... (he paused for two seconds) ASR...*

*Mmm? *

*Please tell me where are you... I won't tell them you are ASR...promise...*

*Of course, you won't but your tongue will reveal who I'm... you call me ASR... don't you? *

*I won't... believe me... I'm ASR's manager after all...*

*Listen, ASR's manager's name is Niashan...*

*This is not done ASR... how could you replace me? What...*

Cutting him,

*Shut up...*

*but ASR...*

*I said shut up...*

*Ok...*

*An interesting character called Nandkishor here...*

Arnav said how NK running his life in the clinic lying to Khushi.

*Oh God...But you don't like liars...*

*I don't... but now, I have no choice...* Arnav smiled.

*Shall I come there?*

Arnav sighed.

*Ok... the doctor's name is Shashi...You are my friend. We came to Nainital for sightseeing...*

Cutting him,

*You got missed and I came searching for you... right? * Aman asked.

*So smart...*

*I will see you in the Red Hills village tomorrow*

*Don't forget, I'm not ASR but Arnav... just Arnav...* he again reminded Aman.

*Done*

Arnav disconnected the call and lay down on the bed. But Aman lost his sleep completely. What the hell is wrong with ASR? He is not ready to come to Delhi. Of course, he wants to find the culprit but he can do that coming to Delhi also... then why he is not ready to come...? He is not even ready to meet him, forget about coming to Delhi...who is the GILR he talked about? Why he doesn't want her to know he is ASR when she likes him so much? He may get all the answers if he goes to Red Hills Village the next day.

Aman got ready and inquired about the village in the reception. Hiring a cab, he came to Red Hills Village.

*Don't go... I will be back in an hour* he said to the driver of the cab.

He nodded ok and waited. There was a TEA stale near the bus stand. Aman came there and asked the Tea Master.

*Sir, could you tell me where is Mr. Shashi's Ayurveda clinic? *

*There is a bend in the right side... you can see the board of the Ayurveda clinic...*

*Thank you, sir...*

Aman rushed to the Ayurveda clinic to meet Arnav. He saw two simple houses. One of them holding the board. He saw a young man grinding something in a small grinding stone. He was NK. Aman came to him.

*Excuse me... shall I meet the doctor? *

*Who are you? *

*My friend is missing...we came to Nainital for sightseeing... I heard a new man is getting treatment in this clinic. I want to check whether he is my friend*

Arnav smiled, hearing Aman's voice. He spoke as per their plan. He sat on the bed.

Shashi came out of the house, hearing that.

*He is the doctor* NK said.

*Namaste...* Aman said joining his hands.

*What's your friend's name? * Shashi asked.

*Arnav*

*His name is also Arnav... he is there... you can check...* Shashi permitted.

Aman peeped inside the house and got stuck, seeing Arnav's condition. He was laying on the very simple hard bed... he didn't even wear proper dress. Arnav always says OUR OUTFIT SHOWS WHO WE ARE. He couldn't resist thinking how Arnav roamed in Delhi just like a lion. Damn this man... his eyes became teary.

Arnav smiled at Aman. In no time, Aman rushed to him and hugged him. No words came out of his throat. He was not allowed to call him ASR. It was so hard for him to shut his mouth from uttering it as he was so emotional. So he kept silent.

Shashi smiled at them.

*Is he your friend? * Shashi asked.

Arnav nodded yes. Aman rushed to Shashi and hugged him making him dumbfounded.

*Thank you, sir... thank you for saving my friend... we are so thankful to you* he said emotionally.

Arnav never had seen him so emotional like that.

*Being a doctor, it's my duty, beta. He will be alright...don't worry*

Aman nodded his head.

*Talk to him... I will ask my wife to arrange breakfast for you*

Aman nodded ok.

Shashi left the place. Aman came to Arnav and sat beside him on the bed.

*ASR, please come with me... this is not up to your standard. You will get a good treatment in Delhi* he pleaded in a feeble tone.

Arnav was sternly looking at him and Aman sighed.

*This is why I don't want you to come here... * Arnav said.

*But ASR...*

*Don't call me ASR...* he said gritting his teeth.

*I'm sorry*

*Do what I said...ok*

Aman nodded yes.

Garima came with a glass of mush for Arnav and tea for Aman. Arnav smiled at her.

*wah... Arnav beta, somehow your friend found you* she said extending the mush glass towards him.

Arnav smiled at her.

*He is my friend Aman*

*Namaste beta* she gave the tea glass to him.

*Namaste aunty* Aman took it from her.

*I will prepare breakfast for you *

Aman nodded ok.

*Thank God, Khushi is not here... or else, she would have fought with me for having her favorite mush* Arnav chuckled.

*Sorry, beta... she is a little rude*

*That's ok, aunty...*

*She is upset as she couldn't give an interview in AR company*

Aman coughed, hearing that and Garima tapped his back. Aman looked at Arnav widening his eyes who drank the mush smilingly.

*AR company? * Aman asked Garima.

*Haan, beta... its boss Arnav Singh Raizada is her inspiration. She wants to work for him*

*She is already doing that...* Aman murmured which was not understand by Garima whereas Arnav chuckled softly.

*Why didn't she give an interview in AR? * Aman asked.

*That's when Shashi sir found me in the forest injured. So, he canceled the trip* Arnav said.

*So sad...* Aman said.

*No no, Arnav beta said he will take her with him to Delhi* Garima said.

Aman raised his brows getting amazed. Are they trusting him to that extend to send their daughter with him? Not bad... By the way, who is the girl? Where is she? Aman wanted to meet the girl who was inspired by Arnav. That's when he heard an anklet sound nearing him. Arnav looked at the entrance excitedly and Aman noticed it.

Aman's eyes were on Arnav whereas Arnav's eyes were on Khushi. Khushi frowned, seeing a new man sitting with Arnav. While passing a weird look to Aman, she handed a medicine to Arnav. After he did put it in his mouth, she passed a water glass. Taking it from her hand, Arnav gulped it down.
