Her Hidden Love

Thirty

/* The next day was very important for them as all the official tasks of the building were being completed. It was the final day and time for approval of the hotel. Everyone was happy because it was better than their expectations. Then its over and Arjun gives a treat to everyone in his office canteen. The coming day he announced a party to celebrate their hard work and its success. Soon all the employees went off except Arjun,Arohi and Hiya. Arohi was elated and could be clearly seen in her eyes. The reason was Arjun had listened to every word of her's and did all this just for her. Hiya says she is leaving next day for Germany. Arjun felt a little sorry for her but he was happy too as she was settling in her life with a man who loved her the most. He receives a call from his dad and Arjun started to go. Arohi asks Hiya to stay as she wanted to talk to her. When Arjun is near the doorstep, without turning back he says.. */

Arjun- I am happy to fulfill my promise and also to see the same on your face. I am waiting for my reward and expect it soon. Would like it in a black saree. (He leaves)

Hiya- It's for you.

Arohi- I know but how did you get it?

Hiya- I know you well Arohi and know everything that has happened between you and Arjun. Must say truly interesting.

Arohi- He said you all that? Okay you are his bff it's liable to happen.

Hiya- Yeah. I am getting late Arohi. You wanted to ask me something?

Arohi- Yes do you know Arjun's cousin Anjali?

Hiya- Yes I know her. She is a distant relative. She likes Arjun a lot and intends to marry him but he hates her. Before he never used to hate her but she never listened to him when he said that he didn't love her and now he is irritated about it too much.

Arohi- Is there anything to worry about? 

Hiya- I don't think so. She is just 19 but doesn't look like that and Varun likes her but she doesn't care enough.

Arohi- Oh thanks.

/* Hiya leaves and Arohi goes to her home. She started to search for a black saree and found one but the blouse was too loose(one from her former self). This was the only black saree she had. She lost hopes and sat on the bed. Just then Sonia comes and asks her why she is sad. Arohi explained that Arjun had done so much for her and all he wanted was to see her in a black saree but to her it didn't seem to be possible. */

Arohi- See this blouse. Its so loose, the hands are falling off.

Sonia- Oh don't worry I will solve your problem. See if we attach two threads, you can fix it.

Arohi- That's a great idea but I have to be careful the threads don't come off.

/* They start work on it and it was ready soon. In Singhania palace Mr DS called Arjun to his room. */

Arjun- Dad you called me?

Devraaj- Yes I just wanted to say don't lose your temper tomorrow. It's a big day right. So many people will come. Don't spoil it. Enjoy.

Arjun- Why are you saying like that?

Devraaj- The matter is Anjali is also invited to tomorrow's party.

Arjun- No dad. Why her? She is so irritating. I can't stand her presence. She doesn't understand.

Devraaj- I know she is foolish but for one day you have to bear. It's a big function and she is our family member. We can't leave her out. I can't answer all the questions that will be raised due to her absence. 

Arjun- Okay dad only one day that too only for you.

/* The next day both Arjun Arohi were eagerly waiting. In the evening Arohi starts to get ready. For the first time she took so much time to get ready and was looking her best. The saree,jewellery and accessories were just superb. Arjun too was in his black suit and the suit was looking at its best because it was on him. The party started and every girl present there had fallen for him. Then Arohi comes to the place and the when she is at the doorstep, the first person to see her was Arjun.She saw  him too. Arjun looked at her in detail,every bit of her for a minute and then turned his face away. Arohi couldn't take it easily. She had done all that just for him and he didn't even look at her let alone complimenting her. She was so angry but kept it to herself and decided to see how much time Arjun would avoid her and also find out the reason. She kept her calm and went about but still she was observing Arjun all the time and he didn't even look at her. Anjali comes and she too is looking good. As usual Arjun tried to avoid her but managed to spare a smile as he didn't want their fight to become a news. She was happy and didn't want to waste this chance. It was first time he didn't speak anything negative to her. Of course he didn't even talk but zero is positive right? She took the mic */
