Her Hidden Love

Thirty Two

/* Arjun is shocked at his response. How could a father call a sick daughter as nonsense? Arohi is unconscious all the while. */

Arjun- I really pity her for having such parents. Poor thing. She thought you will be worried for her and you don't even mind to ask what happen but I can't stand all this. She has a right in this house and she will be here if she wants. You can't stop me.

/* He forcefully moves into the house and directly goes into Arohi's room, makes her comfortable on the bed. He asks Sonia to look after her. He immediately calls a nurse and a bodyguard to that place. Arjun orders them to take complete care of her in any circumstances. He goes to the drawing room and sits on the sofa facing a fuming Hanish. */

Arjun- Look Mr. Sharma I know you don't like all this but you have to bear it. Arohi requested me hence I brought her here else I wouldn't even step into your house. I can't compromise with her health and if anything happens to her it won't be good for you. I think you don't know me. I am Arjun Singhania the prince of this state. The police also listens to me so better don't play any tricks with me. You have already done it once but now no more of it.

Hanish- Fine do what you want now. I will talk to her tomorrow and in any case if she consents she will be married to my friend's son in a few weeks.

Arjun- I bet you can't do that.

Hanish- I know your confidence. Let us see but I can assure you one thing I will do it only if she agrees.(He didn't mention the ways he thought of to make her agree)

/*Arjun gets a call from his mom and he had to go*/

 Arjun- I have to go, my mother is in the hospital. I still have a little respect for you as my father in law.You are a brave man. I heard you are fighting cancer. Take care of your health and your daughter's. You are very lucky to have her.(To the guard and nurse) Take care of her and call me if any problem arises.

/* He goes off and everyone in the house are awestruck by how much care he took just not to disturb her sleep. Arohi's mother changed her opinion about him a little and understood why Arohi loved him so much. Arjun went to his mom and when she asked about Arohi he just said everything is fine and he will manage. He went to the corridor and sat on a bench. He calls his father who was in a nearby town for a meeting and was worried about Sushmitha's condition. Of course he loved her eternally. What Arohi was to Arjun so was Sushmitha to Devraaj. Arjun tells him that she was recovering and he needn't worry. Then full night he was thinking about what Hanish had said. He knew that Arohi loved him very much but she could never say no to her parents and he feared that she might agree for the marriage. He receives a message that they had to meet some officials to talk about land for the next project and he says them that he will reach his guest house soon. He decides this is a good time for Arohi to come out and take her decision for life without anyone's influence. Next day early in the morning he reaches Arohi's home and makes sure he is the first one to talk to her. */

Arjun- How are you?

Arohi- I am fine. How is mom?

Arjun- Recovering. Are you completely alright?

Arohi- Yes what happened?

Arjun- The officials called me yesterday. There are some legal issues and we have to go the place today itself.

Arohi(worried)- Oh but in this condition at home?

Arjun- I understand but you have to do this. Convince your parents somehow. Please it is my last request.

Arohi- Last request? What do you mean?

Arjun- Nothing. Do this for me. I will be waiting outside. Pack your things. We''l return by tomorrow evening.
