Author's POV :
How time flies !......Yes , it's the reception time . The reception was held in a big 7 star hotel ! . Arjun , the bride groom , enhanced  himself  with a silver colour sharwani with light pink border , Roja , the bride to be , embellished herself with silver and light pink combo saree with matching ornaments and kept looking at her mehandi . 'Mehandi' , now which mehandi ? . The mehandi which was applied by Mehandi girl ? . Obviously no, she wa admiring the mehandi of her beloved Arjun's name , which was applied by her Arjun . Deepa , who wore a violet saree came to take her sister in law Roja to the stage . She was astonished by Roja's beauty . She complimented.....
Deepa : Anni , must say , you look so beautiful today .
Roja blushed.....Deepa continued.....
Deepa : Pity my Anna .
Roja was confused.....
Roja : Why ? .
Deepa : Because he have to wait till tomorrow to live happily with you .
Roja smiled at her naughtiness......
Bhoomika : Deepa , won't you take Roja to the stage ? . Your Anna might be waiting for your anni .
Bhoomika winked at Deepa and they teased Roja , which made her further blush . Deepa continued......
Deepa : Ofcourse Bhoomika akka .
Deepa turning towards Roja......
Deepa : Now come anni , let's go to the stage .
Arjun's POV :
I accepted this marriage for my family . Roja's parents are just like my parents , I respect and love my parents in law a lot . But.....but......I hate this Roja . Because of her I was humiliated during my college days , my dignity would have been spoiled if I wouldn't have achieved in this business industry . My father in law thought me certain tricks to survive in business industry . I respect him a lot , not only for that , he is mostly like my mother's brother . And my mother in law is like my father's sister . Breaking my thoughts Roja was brought........I was astonished by her beauty . She was looking so beautiful . Her smile was twinning . Her eyes were so cute like a golden ball . Her lips were just looking like a  strawberry , her cheeks were looking , like Kashmiry apples . She was totally so pretty . Wait....wait......Arjun , when did you become a poet man ? . You say you hate her , now you are praising her beauty , more than you praised yourself , i questioned myself .  Don't know , but I have some connection with her replied my heart.  Is it this marriage ? . No , no , something more  , before this marriage , before our college , did I see her somewhere ? . Especially her smile . I feel it is connected with me since previous births . Later , it flashed me , "Arjun , don't overthink or admire this girl . Don't change yourself for anyone " , consoled my mind .

Roja's POV :
I don't know to express my happiness . My first love , my Arjun is forever going to be mine . Arjun is just like a little baby . He is so cute and innocent . I forget what to speak when he is with me . But one thought is haunting me repeatedly , did Arjun forgive me ? . I don't think so . I can't speak to him directly since he denied . I am in pool of confusion . When I was overthinking about it , Bhoomika touched my shoulders signing me to go to the stage . I went and stood beside Arjun , he glanced at me without getting distracted . I blushed because of his look towards me .

Author's POV.......
The reception was finally over . Morning was Rojun's wedding . Arjun was thinking about his arrest during his college days . When he thinks about that his character becomes ruthless . While Roja was only thinking about Arjun , she felt she wanted to talk to him . But she was hesitant , finally with some courage  she called him . She somehow found his phone number . Arjun looked at the number and it was an unknown number for him as he didn't save it in his contracts . He picked and in a loud , manly voice he said.........
Arjun : Hello , who's this ? .
Roja initially blushed and adored his voice . Arjun with an anger......
Arjun : Hello , who's this ? . Can't you reply back ? .
With a soft , innocent voice , Roja replied........
Roja : It's me .
Arjun felt this voice connected with him and was numb for few seconds , he again questioned , but softly..........
Arjun : Who are you ? .
Roja didn't know how to introduce herself and wondered what will his reaction be if she introduces herself as Roja . But she continued.......
Roja : I....am......Roja .
Arjun smirked and decided to tell her that the reason for his acceptance for this marriage , but later thought she should face the same hurt in her feelings like the same way he felt when he was arrested during his college days . So he decided to not reveal the truth . With a smirk and negligence he asked her......
Arjun : Yeah , got it . Speak up .
Roja replied in shyness.....
Roja : I wanted to convey you how much I love you and since when I love you  .
Arjun wasn't interested in listening to all these stories . He threw the mobile on the bed , while Roja continued to speak about her love towards him without realizing the fact he is not listening . After 15 minutes he took the mobie spoke mockingly to Roja.....
Arjun : If you have done speaking , good night .
Saying so he ended the call , Roja was hurt with Arjun's behavior . Tears escaped from her eyes . She wiped her tears and tried to sleep , but with Arjun's avoidance towards her , she couldn't sleep .

But if Arjun would have listened to Roja's words during their call , he would have surely accepted her and would be happy and excited for this marriage more than Roja . Arjun did not listen to her words and it was the main reason for both of their confusions .

Arjun couldn't sleep too . He felt what he was making was a mistake . Whenever he looked at Roja's smile , he felt that he had seen it before closely .  Somewhere in his heart he felt bad for ignoring her , after few seconds he would back to his hatred feelings towards Roja . Either good or bad he couldn't stop thinking of her .

     Will Rojun confusions end ? .
Is Arjun's thought about having connection with Roja is true or false ? .
What past does Arjun has with Roja ? .
