"If I Was There"

Chapter 8:- Ruhi Met Neil!!!!

As Ruhi was about to enter the hospital with Kairav, she ended up colliding with someone. Kairav was on a call, so he was attending to it in a corner while Ruhi waited for him.

"Hi, are you alright?" the person questioned Ruhi, looking at her.

"Pa..." Ruhi was about to speak but stopped in the middle.

"What happened? Did it hurt? No worries, come, we will see a doctor," said the person, taking her inside the hospital.

"I am alright," said Ruhi.

"Arre, how can you be alright? Wait, you need to be seen," said the person again, taking Ruhi along with him.

As Aarohi was passing by, she saw Ruhi and came over.

"Ruhi, are you alright? Did anything happen? What are you doing in the hospital?" asked Aarohi worriedly.

"Arre, express train, nothing happened to her; she is alright," said the person.

"You shut up, chamgader! I am worried for Ruhi," said Aarohi in a strict tone.

"You people are really very weird," said Ruhi, looking at both of them.

"What do you mean?" said Neil and Aarohi in unison.

"You were worried for me when I was outside. I told you I am fine, and you still brought me for a checkup. Now, sweetheart was worried for me, so he is saying that I am alright," said Ruhi cutely.

Aarohi and Neil couldn't do anything but chuckle at her cute antics as they were having a cute moment. Abhimanyu was passing by.

"This Aarohi here, in the afternoon Neil was fighting with me, and here he is chuckling with Aarohi. I am sure this Aarohi is only brainwashing Neil," thought Abhimanyu angrily as he left.

While they were still talking, Aarohi and Neil didn't realize when they engaged in a conversation. Just then, Kairav and Kartik came and saw the trio, and they both just adored them.

Neil looked at Ruhi multiple times and thought to himself, smiling, "I don't know who you are, but it feels like I have some strange connection with you-someone related to me. A sense of belonging is coming from you."

"Ruhi, Neil, and Aaru look like a perfect family-a happy family that can bring happiness to our old chirpy Aarohi. There is something in this little girl, Ruhi, who can change this angry bird. Aaru, may the evil eye stay away from Ruhi. Thu thu thu," said Kairav, looking at them.

As Kairav came to them and was talking with Ruhi, Aarohi said, "Ok guys, I have some work, so I shall leave."

"Ok sweetheart, then we will meet at home. Bye," said Ruhi with a smile.

"Bye," said Aarohi as she was leaving.

"Aarohi, I need to talk to you," said Neil, holding her hand. Aarohi looked at his hand and gestured for him to remove it.

"Yeah, come with me to my cabin," said Aarohi normally.

As Neil and Aarohi entered Aarohi's cabin, she sat in her chair and gestured for Neil to sit in the chair in front of her.

"Aarohi, I know you won't believe it, or after all this, what I am going to say will be from the bottom of my heart. I know it will not be trustworthy, but please, I will be genuine," said Neil with hope in his eyes and guilt as well. Aarohi could clearly see the guilt that Neil's eyes carried.

"Neil, please be on point. I don't like roundabout talks like jalebi; please be straightforward," said Aarohi in a serious tone.

"Aarohi, I am really sorry from my side as well as from Bhai's side. I feel very guilty for what happened. To be honest, I didn't realize when it happened to you. Some people's true pain cannot be understood until we have gone through the same pain. I realized your pain when this happened to my friend's sister; she was also like my sister, and I felt hurt when I got to know this."

"Then I realized the same thing was done by my own brother to a girl, and I supported Bhai in all this. I am really, really sorry, Aarohi, and I feel very guilty for whatever my Bhai and I have done to you. I know your pain is still understandable," said Neil, with all the guilt in his voice, and his eyes were telling Aarohi that he was speaking the truth.

Aarohi was just smiling while looking at him, and Neil was confused.

"Aarohi, why are you smiling?" Neil questioned.

"You both are serious? You are here apologizing to me, and look at your own brother, who doesn't have guilt on his face for leaving a girl at the altar," said Aarohi, with pain in her voice.

Neil could sense it, and he knew Aarohi was right; he had no right to say anything further.

"I am really sorry," Neil said once again.

"You know what? I cannot forgive you so easily, but I can say one thing: the guilt in your eyes is genuine, and at least you aren't like your brother, who doesn't understand his mistakes," said Aarohi with a painful smile.

"One more thing, who was that girl with you?" asked Neil.

"Ruhi. She lost her parents and lives with me. I don't know why, but she is very close to me, and I don't know why, but she was very happy with you," said Aarohi, remembering Ruhi.

Neil left there, and meanwhile, at the Goenka house, someone entered.

"Neil, you're here! You must have come to meet me," said Akshara in excitement.

"No, I came here to meet Ruhi. Where is she?" said Neil excitedly, with next-level happiness in his eyes at the thought of meeting Ruhi.

Precap:- Neil shouts on Akshara.
