Roommates To Soulmates

Arohi confronted Abhimanyu

Coming out of her thoughts Arohi took a look at her new room decorated with flowers and rose petals.

Yes , she is now Arohi Abhimanyu Birla .

She again looked at the mirror and started removing her nose pin then earring and as she removed her mangteeka and saw the vermicillon in her middle hair partition through mirror she gently touched it .

'𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑖 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓𝑓 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑔𝑒 , 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 ,𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑏𝑒  𝑔𝑜𝑒𝑛𝑘𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑡𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟  𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑛 𝑚𝑒. '

She was between her thoughts when the door opened and Abhimanyu walked in ther eyes met for a moment but then again separated and Arohi resumed taking off her jwelleries .

"I don't have any feelings for you" Abhimanyu said standing a bit away but behind Arohi , but got a bit confused as Arohi didn't react a bit but continued what she was doing he continued

"And I know even you don't have any either , i know you didn't save me from fire and I also know you tried to give md an exam by giving a donation"last line was a bit new for her but she just reacted by looking at him from mirror reflection.

"All you wanted from me was birla's name and that position and I am ready to give you all that but don't expect anything else from me"
Hearing this Arohi moved towards Abhimanyu and Abhimanyu looked at her coming near him in disbelief but didn't expected what happened next .

Arohi came near him and slaped him hard across his face .
Abhimanyu placed his hand on his cheek looking at Arohi being shocked.

"I used you for position and status ? Really..
Who told you, my dear sister? " Arohi said

Abhimanyu raised his finger after Arohi mentioned Akshara  but Arohi gave a dried chuckle looking at his finger"ofcourse it was her "

"But it looks like she forgot to tell you the time I spent to be the best to make my own identity as 'Arohi' just Arohi."

"Yes, i gave donation but to write paper not to pass it because I wanted to stand beside you wanted myself to be competent to you
I was trying to make myself competent to you by using my qualifications while you were trying to persuade my sister by using me"
Abhimanyu who was by now looking lower uninterested in whatever she says turned his gaze toward Arohi in disbelief hearing last words and saw her shedding two  droplets of tears as she completed her sentence and her lips pressed into a thin line as she tried to stop herself from shedding more tears.

There was complete silence for some time where both were just looking in each other's eyes before Arohi blinked her eyes as if she realised something .

"Yours fingers weren't cut on the engagement, right you .. you purposely wore bandages." Arohi again looked at Abhimanyu for answer but his eyes gave her answers

"But your hands were actually cut on mahendi as you , that day were also trying to convince Akshara" Arohi asked in a shaky voice but again his silence gave her answer.

Arohi was hating every tear escaping her eyes she was hating to cry infront of Abhimanyu . Showing him her soft side which is still unknown to her own family members.

"I was just a doll for you from starting whom you used to take revenge on Akshara, or maybe this marriage atleast thought a marriage was a joke for you a setup where you will hit on Akshara till she also confesses that she loves you"
Arohi said putting back of her trembling hand below nose to console herself and to stop herself from crying .

"And my Sister Akshara.." she was about to say anything but Abhimanyu intruppted her and taking Akshara's side
"She sacrificed her love for you and..." Arohi's dried chucked intruppted him .

"So, not only me she thought of you as puppet too "

"God if just her sacrifices can leave my life i would have a perfect life " Arohi said to herself pressing her eyes hard and then took a deep breath

"You know arranged marriage, a marriage two people get married with consent and love erupts after marriage in them
It was one of them for me . I know i didn't loved you but i liked you and that's why I wanted to marry you not to steal Akshara's love and atleast I was faithful in it " Arohi said but only on the last line her eyes were looking in Abhimanyu's.

Some moments later Abhimanyu walked off the room leaving Arohi there .

Arohi stood stilled at her position but then wiped her tears and taking her cloths from her suitcase she went to bathroom .

No, she is not going to cry over a person who is not even guilty after doing all that
