Rehan was sitting at a corner of a road, feeling broken. But was being broken important or what his mind showed him?
"Rehan, how could you? You are not supposed to see Aarvi's picture in your mind. She is just working for you and nothing else. How could you love her?"
Some flashbacks came to his mind: Aarvi spending time with his family, they were enjoying, and how happy his family, especially Aarvi, was.
"It was just an attraction, Rehan. Love doesn't happen in four days. Just get it off your mind. Shrishti was right; you should move on. She was continuously saying that's why I think I saw Aarvi's face. The truth is, Shrishti doesn't love you, and there is no point in being sad for a person whose heart doesn't belong to you. So from now on, Aarvi is free. But I am not liking it. I don't know why, but Aarvi going away from me is hurting me. I think it's because of the time we spent, and I am habitual to her." All this was running in Rehan's mind.
Aarvi looked at each and every place of the college to find Rehan, but Rehan was nowhere to be found. Aarvi was getting tensed with each passing minute. She saw Shrishti and moved towards her.
"Shrishti, where is Rehan?"
"Sorry, Aarvi, but I don't know. I talked with him and didn't see him. But why are you asking? Did something happen?"
"No, nothing happened. Maybe he went home. You can go."
Shrishti left from there. Aarvi took her phone and dialed Rehan's number. Rehan saw the call but didn't pick it up because he wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone. Aarvi was getting more and more scared.
"What if he did something to himself? No, Aarvi, he isn't this kind of person. He would surely be safe."
Aarvi dialed another number and asked the person to tell her Rehan's location. Aarvi got the location and went there.
She saw Rehan sitting there. She quickly went there and hugged him tightly. Rehan was shocked by her act; he never expected this from her. He also hugged her back.
"Are you crazy, Rehan? Where were you, and why weren't you picking up my calls?"
Rehan saw his phone and remembered that he was intentionally not picking up her calls.
"Actually, my mobile was on silent mode, so I didn't realize."
"Are you crazy? If something had happened to you..."
"What will happen to me?"
"I thought Shrishti rejected you, Rehan, so you might do something."
"Are you crazy, Aarvi? Yes, I know I love Shrishti, but I have many other reasons to live. I also have such a beautiful family. Why would I do this, or in fact, I would never think of doing this?"
Aarvi felt relieved as nothing happened to Rehan. She came out of the hug. Rehan and Aarvi were looking at each other, and awkwardness was between them.
"So, Rehan, let's go home."
"Sure, madam, after you."
"I don't know what it is, but Aarvi, you have a special space in my heart," Rehan said in his mind.
They both went home. Shweta and Prakash had gone to some function, and Priyanka had an extra class, so she was also not at home. Only Bebe, Aarvi, Rehan, and Arjun were present.
Everyone was engrossed in their respective work. Aarvi saw Bebe sitting on a sofa in the hall. She went over, and they started to talk.
"Bebe, do you need anything?"
"No, Beta. I need nothing. Thank you for asking."
"What is this, Bebe? You call me beta and also say thank you. That isn't good," Aarvi said.
"Oh, okay. I am sorry," Bebe responded.
"No problem, Bebe. As you have given me a place in your heart, do I have the right to ask you something?" Aarvi inquired.
"Yes, ask, Aarvi. And next time, you need no permission. Just ask me directly," Bebe replied.
"Okay. I know it could be personal, but still, Bebe, you also have a granddaughter, Pri, and she wants to work. Will you give her permission?" Aarvi asked.
"Yes, beta, why not? If our Pri wants to do something, we will support her. No matter what she is our daughter, it's our duty to fulfill her dreams.
But you have such a wealthy family, then why do you allow her to work? She can just be home and enjoy this lavish life.
Beta, one doesn't work for money; some work for respect to earn self-respect in their life. If our Pri works, she will not work for money but for her name. She has a feeling that she isn't called a daughter of Oberio. She wants the world to know her by her name, Priyanka, and that's important for her. For rich people, their kids are known by their name, but sometimes rich people's children want to make their name in the market. They do sacrifice a lot, and they also hear many things in their life. Everything is not served on a plate; they also need to work hard to prove themselves.
Bebe left after speaking, while Aarvi was watching them. Bebe's words had a lot of value in Aarvi's heart.
"Why are my Bade Papa and Papa not like this, who support me to make a name in this market? But they just think that girls are not supposed to work. They think that their daughter should make a name in this. And just for once, look at my family who was ready to send me out of this house but wasn't ready to let me work." Aarvi had a lone tear in her eye while thinking all this.
She quickly wiped away her tears before anyone could notice, but her tears weren't unnoticed.
"Sir, I think ma'am has struggled a lot in her life."
"Yes, Arjun, I can also sense that."
"Rehan, Sir, should we do something?"
"I will definitely do something. Until I am around her, no struggle will come in her way. She will always be happy and smiling."
"Great, Sir, that's why you are the best. You think about everyone."
"Not everyone, but people who are part of the family are very important to me."
Rehan smirked and they both left for their work. And the day ended like this only.
