I HATE YOU BUT...🩺

28

The next morning when Arjun and Arohi got up they were in each other embrace. Arjun was the first one to get up. When he saw Arohi in his embrace he smiled and kissed her forehead. Arohi stirred and wrapped herself around him more comfortably.

"This girl is an idiot. She is so comfortable in my embrace yet she refuses to be with me. What about me? How do I feel about her? I need to really sort out myself first." Arjun thought.

After few minutes Arohi stirred again and she too opened her eyes. Arjun's eyes were closed but this time Arohi didn't take the risk of admiring Arjun. She had a hunch that he is awake. She thought of something and lightly punched Arjun in stomach but Arjun didn't react. Arohi kept quiet and then after few minutes again punched Arjun but this time heavily.

"Ouch!" Arjun screamed in pain and opened his eyes.

"What the hell are you doing Rohi?" Arjun complained

"I knew you were awake. Come on let's go out and have one to one." said Arohi excitedly.

"What one to one?" Arjun asked confused.

"Fight Arjun fight; It's been long we haven't exchanged blows." Arohi said with the same excitement.

"Huh! Now what has gotten into you?" Arjun was still confused.

"Haven't you practiced in these years? Were you busy fooling around with girls all along?" Arohi asked curious.

"What? No! Not at all, I was learning and I practiced medicine very seriously." Arjun said with caution.

"What? You are afraid of me?" Arohi said laughing

"W--why I must be afraid of you?" Arjun asked stammering.

"Because I am your wife, simple" The smile on Arohi's face was genuine.

One thing Arjun noticed that Arohi's heart and brain both have accepted the fact that they are husband and wife. She might not have realized this but she was treating their relation very seriously.

The way she spoke to Parth was the proof of how deeply she cared about him. She might even Love him very deeply that she herself doesn't know.

What Arjun need to do is make her brain think that her heart is in correct order and her brain needs to be with the heart, so that she can forgive Arjun and move forward in her life.

Arjun knew she always loved him even as a friend before her mother died. Even after her mother's death except herself she didn't allow others to harm Arjun in any way she just made sure that she tortures him.

"Why are you dreaming with your eyes open" Arohi snapped Arjun out of his thoughts.

"Nothing, fine let's fight. Get changed first. You need audience?" Arjun asked

"More the better," Arohi said enthusiastically.

"Fine I will call others." saying this Arjun left the tent.

Arohi changed and came out she saw everybody was waiting for her. They didn't even change their night dresses.

"It's been so long we saw Arjun Arohi face off." said Sanchit

"Has Arjun irritated you Arohi that you are itching to beat him up." Romit said laughing

Arjun gave him a heavy punch on his shoulder.

"Hey! I am not your punching bag" complained Romit

"Shut your mouth then" Arjun glared at him.

"Let's begin Arjun." Arohi said taking up the position.

"Fine" Arjun too was ready in his position.

They did a little warm up and then nodded each other and the fight commenced.

Arjun was looking at how elegantly Arohi was moving. He can see she has improved a lot. When they were little she used to attack offensively but now she was studying Arjun, she was trying to see the loopholes in his moves.

Arjun was still not offensive that was really getting on her nerves but she was not going to lose her calm. Arjun knew her temper but he was surprised that she was still maintaining her calm. But he knew any moment and she will be pissed off.

"Arjun you can attack me. It doesn't matter if you hit me I am not going to complain of domestic violence" Arohi said trying to provoke Arjun. She knew when it comes to fight Arjun is very rational and hardly loses his composure.

Arjun just smiled and was just defending himself. Arohi was now attacking him more vigorously. She has lost her patience.

Her each blow was deadly. Everyone was cheering them both. They were enjoying this after very long. All knew when Arohi loses her control she will lose the match.

This was the only problem with Arohi when it comes to fight, Arjun always won because of his calm attitude. Arohi on the other hand was good in everything except fighting Arjun.

Her moves were good but her focus was always short. Arjun never gave her chance to win before but today he was different though he knew she was losing her focus he was determined to give her the winning crown.

Arohi just moved ahead and when she was about to punch Arjun on shoulders her leg twisted, she was about to fall when Arjun caught her by waist. Arohi had Goosebumps all over her body. Arjun too felt something unusual but they both quickly came back to their senses.

Arohi was more aggressive now, she moved again with the lightning speed and this time gave a heavy blow on Arjun's stomach.

Arjun flinched but didn't utter a word. Arohi knew she has used almost ninety percent of her strength yet Arjun was standing there intact.

Arjun was in pain but he knew though Arohi was trying to win and using all her strength the moment she saw him in pain her heart would react and again the mind and heart sync problem would occur.

Her mind needs to trust Arjun before he let loose his guard. Arohi yet again gave a heavy punch on Arjun's shoulder but still Arjun didn't bulge.

After giving few more punches Arohi understood that something was amiss. No way could Arjun withstand so much of her strength but he was not reacting. He was not attacking her either but why he was tolerating so much of pain?

With one more punch from Arohi Arjun collapsed still not uttering a single word but that concluded the fight making Arohi the winner. Arjun stood up smiling.

Everyone was shocked how can Arohi win but they were still cheering for Arohi.

"You won Rohi" Arjun said patting her head and then it hit Arohi, Arjun was saving her from herself. He didn't utter a single word though he was in pain because her heart would betray her mind and will care for Arjun.

This time Arohi's mind clearly spoke to her. This person is really something. He can go to any extend to protect you. We can trust him sometimes I think.

When her mind gave Arohi this advice her eyes immediately had the feeling of warmth. Yes her heart and mind were trying to sync. Arjun's efforts were paying off. He was unaware of this but Arohi felt like she was blessed to have someone like Arjun with her.

"I THINK MY MIND AND HEART BOTH DON'T HATE YOU ANYMORE ARJUN." Arohi thought to herself.
