Her Hidden Love

Twenty Four

/* Arohi hears someone's footsteps and retains her composure. It was Rey coming to her. */

Rey- Arohi?

Arohi- Yes its me Rey. I am sorry I didn't see you before.

Rey- No need of that but for Arjun you gotta be sorry. It was very bad on your part to hurt him so much.

Arohi- I knew he would be hurt but by your words it seems a bad situation.

Rey- Very bad. From the day you left he is just spending his days not living them. Every action of his reflected your thought.

Arohi- I was so wrong. I knew he would never forget me but was he so disturbed?

Rey- So much that he hardly speaks to anybody and works all the time. He is no more the Arjun he used to be. I saw him struggle in himself. You just don't know how much pain he went through.

Arohi- You don't how much pain it took me to do that.

Rey- What do you mean?

Arohi- Once think it all over again. I left as if I hated him and he was so disturbed. What would be his situation if I left as if I loved him?

Rey- Oh no.

Arohi- Yes that's the point but don't worry I will settle all this as I am here now. I think its my destiny to be with him. I won't leave him again.

Rey- I trust you bhabi.

Arohi- It will take some time to call me like that.

Rey- Yeah. Arohi do you know tomorrow evening Kria and I are getting engaged, you have to come.

Arohi- That's great news. I will definitely come. I'd like to meet all of you again. Tell me what you'll did after college.

Rey- Arjun and I went to Stanford university. Raghav Neha are doing Computer Engg. in IIT Kharagpur. I don't know about Khushi, she was almost abandoned after she did that to you. We didn't know she would do like that.

Arohi- Even I didn't but it's waste of blaming her now. It's been a long time.

Rey- Yes and you changed a lot Arohi. How? 

Arohi- I don't know just happened.

Rey- You look great now. I have to go now I am busy. See you tmrw.

Arohi- Okay text me the venue.

/* He goes away and the next day Arohi goes to his engagement. She talks to kria for a long time and everyone is enjoying. Raghav and Neha couldn't come due to their interviews. Just before the ceremony Arjun comes and talks to Rey and Kria but avoids Arohi. Arohi tries to talk to him but on knowing that he wanted to avoid her she didn't disturb him more. After the ceremony the guests leave and the parents are busy making other arrangements for marriage. These four sit down for dinner. */

Rey- Kria I can't believe we are getting married. I am so lucky that my true love will be my life partner.

Kria(shyly)- Me too.

Arjun- You people are lucky. Even after loving someone more than life some people just get betrayal.

Arohi- Arjun I didn't.

Arjun- Rey Kria I am sorry. I need to go.

/* Rey, Kria understand that Arjun Arohi have personal issues to be sorted and give them some space. Arjun moves out of the room and when he is walking in the corridor,he hears Arohi calling him. She pleads him to stop and listen to her. He stands there and she comes beside him. */
