Made For Each Other

♡27♡

Parth got ready as soon as possible and came in Aarohi's room. It was nearly 7 in the morning. He couldn't hear any sound. After waiting for 5 minutes he decided to knock the door as she was in bathroom for much time. Parth knocked the bathroom door. He called her name repeatedly. He was scared. He decided to open the door. The door was locked. Parth ran to his room to find the spare key of bathroom. He came again to Aarohi's room after finding the key. Parth opened the door. The sight broke his heart. Aarohi was unconscious on the bathroom floor. She was in the bathrobe. The stain of tears could be seen on her cheeks. He quickly went near her and picked her up in a bridal style. He came in the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

Parth patted her cheek and rubbed her hand while calling her name.

"Aarohi... Wake up... Please Aaru..." Parth was trying to wake her up. He took a glass from sidetable and sprinkled some water on her face. After  couple of minutes Aarohi opened her eyes. Parth had tears in his eyes. When she opened her eyes he hugged her and some tears rolled down from his eyes. He cupped her face.

"Are you ok? Are you fine?" Parth asked Aarohi. He was panicked. But he became normal after seeing her condition. He gave her water. She drank the water and hugged him. He could hear some sniffing. Parth caressed her hair and back. He comforted her.

"It's ok... Everything is alright... Look..." He said.

"I... I... was panicked. I was trying to apply medicine... But when I saw marks I remembered last night... And then I was calling your name... But you didn't replied... I thought you left... you left me..." Aarohi murmured while crying. Parth knew that she was traumatized but he understood the effect of the words of Sameer. More than the incident she was affected by the words. Yes she was hurt because of incident but She was afraid because of words. She became insecure.

"I am here look... I won't go anywhere love... I am so sorry..." Parth said while patting her head. Aarohi wiped her tears.

He kissed her forehead and cupped her face.

"Go and change your clothes... I am here... I am not going anywhere... If you feel uneasy just call me ok?" He asked.

"I am going to change... Just please stay with me... Ok?" She asked.

"Yes... I will be here..." He said.

Aarohi went in bathroom. She changed her clothes and applied medicine. She was asking Parth to talk with her. He assured her that he was there. After changing Aarohi came outside and hugged Parth. He picked her up in bridal style and put her on the bed. He applied medicine at her back.

"Want to eat something?" Parth asked while caressing her hair. Aarohi shook her head in 'no'.

"I am tired... I want to sleep..." She said. He nodded.

"Cuddles please..." She said and looked at him.

"Ofcourse baby... Come..." He laid on the bed besides her. She put her head on his chest and he kept patting her head. After sometime she slept. He was still caressing her hair. Parth freed himself from her grip when he heard doorbell rang. He replaced him with pillow. Parth came in living room and opened the door. It was Aarohi's parents and brother. He gave them small smile, they also reciprocated that smile... They came inside Aarohi's room. Her parents became sad after seeing their daughter's condition. The one to whom they loved the most was hurt and that also too much. They caressed her head and came outside.

Parth was feeling guilty. He knew he couldn't have done anything but still it was his responsibility. Anyone could have seen guilt. Aarohi's parents could also see it. They knew none of this was his fault. They knew he is also in pain and is hurt. They knew he was feeling guilty.

[Anurag and Srishti: Aarohi's parents, Raj- Aarohi's brother]

"I hope you know that it was not your fault." Anurag said.

"She is scared. She cried so much.. She had a panic attack. She had a nightmare. Also she thinks that I will leave her. I couldn't even assure her that I am not going anywhere. I promised you I will take care of her. I am Sorry. She is not fine. And it is because of me." Parth said. He doesn't even realized when tears start streaming from his eyes.

Anurag patted Parth's shoulder.

"Don't worry Parth... Everything will be alright... I know my daughter... She is strong... Your love will help her... And none of this is your fault... She will be ok..." Anurag said.

"I am sorry. I couldn't protect her... I am not good for her..." Parth said with teary eyes.

"It's really not your fault. And she is ok... She will be ok... And there is noone good for her except you... Both of you are made for each other..." Srishti said.

Three of them were unaware that the person about whom they were talking about heard them. Aarohi heard them. She felt bad for Parth. She was trying to be strong.

"He will not leave me." She murmured to herself. She decided to try to sleep without him. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Here Parth nodded. He got a call from Commissioner.  Parth excused himself and came in his room. He talked with Commissioner. Someone knocked his room door. It was Raj. Raj was only looking at him. Parth felt uneasy. He thought Raj is angry with him.

"I am sorry." Parth said while looking down. Raj sighed and sat on the bed.

"Come and sit here." Raj said while patting bed. Parth sat near him.

"You know. Aarohi is not scared of hurting and pain. She is very strong regarding this. So I know it's not at all about physical injuries. She has knowledge but it is first time she have experienced something so bad. And I know you can protect her. You would have if you could. So it is not at all your fault." Raj continued and patted Parth's back.

"I know. But she thinks that I will leave her because of this. I couldn't earn her trust." Parth said while fighting with his tears.

"It is not like that. Give her some time to heal. And also take care of yourself. I know you will take care of her. Don't hurt yourself Parth. Don't be sorry for this. She will be ok. You have earned her trust, respect and love. So don't worry about anything buddy." Raj said.

Parth hugged Raj and some tears fell from his eyes. He wiped them and gave smile to Raj.

"Thank you." Parth said. Raj nodded. They both came in living room.

All of them were sitting in the living room. Parth told them about the Aarohi's condition and Commissioner's call. Suddenly they heard the sound of glass breaking. As soon as he realized Parth ran to Aarohi's room, worriedly. Her parents followed him. They were nervous. Aarohi was asleep but she was sweating. She was again murmuring "sorry","no", and "please". Aarohi's parents froze at the sight. Parth rushed towards her and freed her grip. He took her hands in his and started stroking it softly. He again tried to console her like last night.

"It's ok... You are at home... There is nothing... It is only a nightmare... Aarohi... Everything is alright..." He said.

"Hey... Baby... Look who is here... Open your eyes Aaru..." He said softly while stroking her hair. She opened her eyes slowly. She got up and sat on the bed. Srishti came near her daughter and engulfed her in hug. Parth decided to gave them privacy.

"I will be back in sometime..." He said. Anurag nodded. Aarohi looked at Parth. He blinked his eyes in assurance. He left the room. Aarohi felt restless for the second but she realized that it was important. She looked at her parents and broke down. She cried in her mother's embrace. Raj was
