The Warrior

Part 11

She couldn't sleep whole night, ever since he came back. She forgot herself the whole night, despite herself her eyes kept wandering least every two hours around his room making sure he was alright.

Numerous times when she decided to part their ways, or he moved away still their fate made them closer to each other.

She would give this news to Mr Oberoi who had lost all hopes of him returning back.

Immensely diving in her happiness, she forgot about the world...forgot to eat and sleep.

She quickly made a call

"Sheetal, he's back..." overjoyed she hopped on the couch

"Aarti, are you serious? How?"

"I will ask him tomorrow. He's sleeping now"

Aarti asked them to come over. Veer will be happy to see all his old friends. She wanted to sing and dance. Her life was back. Tears gathered around her eyes, the only difference was this time it was out of happiness.

--------------------------------------

Mr Oberoi saw Aarti sleeping on the couch in the lounge room "Aarti, we have important meeting today"

Aarti lazily opened her eyes. The moment she saw Mr Oberoi, she almost jumped with joy "I have to tell you something important...no" she pressed her head with her fingers "I have to show you, come"

She opened the door of Veer's room

"Check yourself Mr Oberoi" Aarti gave a broad smile "I will arrange for a party"

Aarti quickly walked towards the kitchen

The moment Mr Oberoi's eyes fell on Veer, he couldn't believe "Veer"

Mr Oberoi had tears in his eyes... he saw his Son after months. He went closer and caressed his hair...

Veer slightly opened his eyes "Dad..."

"Veer, my Son" he hugged him "I am so proud of you"

Veer rubbed his eyes... Mr Oberoi looked at Veer's face and cried

"Come on Dad... stop crying."

"You don't know, after I heard about the news I died so many times and Aarti"

Mr Oberoi wiped his tears "she's a brave girl. Everyone believed you won't come back. It was only Aarti who had faith that you will come back"

"When did she come here Dad?"

"I was in the hospital, when she came" Mr Oberoi looked at Veer "she's cared so much Veer... if I am alive today. It's because of her."

Veer was silent

"Ok, now. You get ready and come for breakfast"

"Yes Dad"

------------------------------------

Mr Oberoi saw Aarti talking on the phone

"OK Doctor, thanks"

"Aarti, who are you calling"

"Veer needs treatment. I called the doctor. They will be here soon"

Mr Oberoi touched her head "God bless you"

"Come, sit." Aarti offered tea and snacks to Mr Oberoi.

"Where are the servants today, can't see anyone around"

"They all have holiday today" Aarti gave a broad smile

"I must call your parents as well, they are worried for you Aarti." Mr Oberoi watched her blushing...
