After 3 years of her beloved Rahul Jaykar's tragic 'suicide' , Aarohi was believed to have moved on from the trauma by the people. Or can I say she pretended to have moved on and living happily? She focused on her career, worked hard , smiled all t...
"Aarohi bete" came Saigal uncle with sparkling eyes looking keen to spill some words that would be pleasing to ears.
Saigal uncle has been supporting and loving me like his own child ever since that incident. He knew what I was going through even I won't tell anything. Yet he never interrupted my thoughts but always stood beside me as my biggest supporting system. He let me acknowledge that he was always there for me whenever I needed. I too had full faith in him.
For me he was no less than a father figure. Whatever I did had his attention involved. As I knew I could be suicidal anytime if my anxiety broke. We indeed shared a great bond together.

"Hello uncle" I exclaimed as I hugged him.
"Hello beta how're you?" He asked me patting my head.
"I'm totally fine. Afterall you never forget to check on me. What could possibly happen to me" I said with a soft smile on my face.
"Oh see I forgot. I came here with a good news. Can you guess what is it?" Uncle said lifting his eyebrows and having an mischievous look on his face.
"Uhm..well I guess its about another contract or any award show?" I guessed the obvious.
"No. Absolutely no. C'mon guess more!!" He teased me.
"Please tell me already what is it? You're looking too excited and its killing me to keep guessing and not knowing already" I said as I stood up with a jump and eagerness all over my face.
"Ok so time out. You're really slow witted" he joked.
I frowned.
"One month from now is Vivek's engagement fixed". He finally revealed.
I covered my mouth with a gasp with hands as the news was too good as well as shocking.
"Wowww..great!!! I'm really happy for him. But wait.. why are you telling me this? Why didn't he come himself or call me?" I asked .
"Umm..I think now that there's a very little time left, he's already got busy with the preparations. So he asked me to tell this on his behalf. I was passing from here so I thought I should meet and tell you"
"But that's not fair. We're best buddies and he didn't even bother to call me and tell it himself. I'm starting to get angry now." I pouted and folded my hands to chest.
Saigal uncle released a laughter and threw his hands up "well it's your call. I don't want to meddle in this topic. I did as he asked me to."
I frowned "ok if he's so busy that he can't even call ..I'm not gonna talk to him now until he comes himself."
"And I guess I've to leave now as there's a lot of work to do but here I am running errands for your best friend" he laughed.
I smiled and hugged him and he again patted my head before leaving.
I was still wondering what could be the actual matter that my best friend couldn't inform me about the sweetest news of his life himself.
"Should I call him and act like I'm really angry at him? Or should I wait for his call?" I started talking to myself.
After Raul's demise Vivek was always there to comfort me. He didn't really say anything when I cried and only looked at me with sad eyes. Held me into hug sometimes when I cried so much that I couldn't even breathe. He always has been there when I needed a shoulder to cry on. For almost a year , he managed all my contracts, delayed all the meeting or shows scheduled. Sometimes he stayed at home with me in case I fell sick. He organised my kitchen and cleaned up all the mess at home. He stayed with me most of the time so that I wouldn't have any scary thoughts. He kept me away from all the medias and cameras atleast until I was comfortable around them. Collectively, he fulfilled all the responsibilities of a good friend. At that time, he was the only person besides Saigal uncle I could really rely on in absence of Rahul. I had noticed all his efforts. I realised that I had bothered him so much still he never left me. He was such a precious friend to me. I could never imagine loosing him now. Specially now that Rahul has gone.
