Only You....

What goes around comes around..

Opening the door I was little surprised it's not even 6.00 and our office is half an hour away from home,then what is Arnav doing here in these hours.. He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat.. He still has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen and it's so innocent that still apprehend me in its entirety..

I saw he is holding beautiful purple orchid and a packet in his hand..My favorite flower is red roses and he knows it very well than what is he doing with purple orchids.. Did he forget my favorite flowers??I looked at him questionably and asked, 'Are these flowers for me??'

He shook his head negatively and said, 'Actually it's for auntie.. purple is her favorite color, right??' I raised my eyebrows I was super surprised he still remembers my mother's favorite color and cared to bring flowers for her..

Who is he?? In one side he's so sweet, so caring , seeing this side of his I feel like, I should give Arnav a chance..Does he deserve a chance? People do change, don't they?? but when I remembered the betrayal, he did I can't forgive him and all I want is to hurt him..

I nodded slightly still standing at the door, blocking his way, he asked, 'Won't you ask me to come in?'

I moved from his way, and he came in. He looked everywhere and said,  'your house is so changed'
I smiled sadly and said, 'life is changed.' Next moment I changed my expression, and said with a bright smile, ' Thank you for coming.'

He sat in the sofa and handed me the bag he was holding..I asked, 'what's that??'

'I got some Jalebi for you from your favorite sweet shop..' He replied smilingly..

I took the bag and put it in the table like it's the most worthless thing anyone ever gave me... His extra caring attitude was melting my heart and I didn't like it a bit..

'I don't like Jalebi's anymore..' I said with a serious face but the smell of Jalebi was making me crazy, I was feeling like to eat all of them right there..Oh God!! Why I lied and tried to show stupid attitude!!

He smiled and said, 'The way you are looking at the packet, saying something else though..Have one khushi, one will not harm..'

I gulped hearing this, how he caught my lies so easily.. He looked here and there, and asked, 'Where is Aunty?'

I called my mother loudly and soon she joined us...She was very surprised seeing Arnav.... She looked at me, widening her eyes and questioned me through her eyes.. 'What is he doing here?'

I just smiled and asked her to seat.. Arnav smiled at her and asked .. 'How are you doing Aunty?'

She smiled back slightly and looked at me again, looks like my mother lost the capacity of talking seeing Arnav.. I didn't tell her earlier that I am inviting Arnav as she would have asked million questions..

He handed her the flowers and sat beside her..'Aunty you are not talking to me, are you upset with me??' Arnav asked..

My mother shook her head negatively and said, 'No I'm not. I'm just surprised to see you after so long..'

'I am sorry, I should have come earlier but I..' He paused.. 'I am sorry for your loss.. I got to know about Uncle, recently..'

My mother looked down at the mention of my father..'Are you upset with me that I left like this??' Arnav asked with sadness clearly visible in his face, he and my mother had a very good bonding, she always showered him with motherly affection whenever he visited my home..

'No beta, everyone has their own life and they are allowed to choose whatever they want.. It's just Khushi was devastated after you left, she was not ready to accept it.. We had a hard time to ..'
