Being Mrs. Singhania

Aftermath Part A

The first thing Arohi saw after opening her eyes was dark grey ceiling. A cold cloth strip was pressed on her forehead and she was comfortably tucked in a blanket. She looked around the surrounding which felt a bit familiar. She tried getting up but her body felt so weak. A hand came from her right and helped her in sitting.

"Good morning Arohi" Dolly's soft voice fell on her ears.

She looked up at her and smiled softly as she pressed a glass of water on her lips. She really needed it.

As she looked around the room it finally donned upon on her that she was in Arjun's room. The last she remembered was fainting in lobby.

"How I came here?"

"I don't know anything. When I returned in morning Arjun Sir told me u caught fever last night and asked me to take care of you"

Before she could inquire further, the Devil Singhania entered talking on his mobile. He gave a small glance at her and then walked to far end still talking. He gestured Dolly to come towards him with his hand.

She watched as he told something to her and after that Dolly left from there nodding at him.

Although her body didn't support but she stepped out of blanket and that's when she realized she was just in a white kurta which probably was his! Feeling self conscious she tried to leave the room as fast as possible. She can fret about things later but right now she needs to get out of monster's den. She took two feeble steps but on third step her head felt dizzy and she lost her balance. Instead of landing on floor as she expected, she found herself wrapped in two strong arms. He made her lay back on bed again and covered her with blanket.

"You need to take it easy. Your body is weak" he spoke huskily and then leaning at side picked something.

"Open your mouth" he ordered.

She narrowed her eyes and looked away.

"Look Arohi I need to check your temperature. Open your mouth"

"You don't need to show your fake concern. Let me go back to my room"

He pressed his head "don't make me force you"

When she still didn't budge he forcefully pushed thermometer in her mouth. She tried to throw it but he held her mouth keeping it shut and with his other restricted her hand moments.

"Being stubborn leads to foolishness some times" he commented while taking off the thermometer to note readings.

"Who changed my clothes?" She asked avoiding eye contact with him.

Putting thermometer at it's place he replied "I did"

Angry tears glistened in her eyes "How dare you?" She felt so furious at the thought of him seeing her naked.

He raised his one brow "chill. Lights were off. I am not some creep"

"You shouldn't have done that"

"Yeah right" he rolled his eyes "and should have let you die"

"As if u care if I live or die" she snapped.

He stared at her with anger "u know what! I should have actually let u die"

Their conversation was interrupted as Dolly walked in with a trolley. Instructing her to give medicine after breakfast, he left from there. Once she was done she asked Dolly to take her back to her room. Dolly compiled with her request a bit hesitantly but nevertheless took her back to her room. The first thing she did after getting back was to discard his kurta and wear something of her own. She felt a mixture of embarrassment and anger on thought of him changing her clothes. Honestly she would have preferred dying than to be touched by him.

Due to the effect of medicine she soon drifted back to sleep. Dolly woke her up around lunch time as it was time for another medicine. Most of the day Arohi spent sleeping. She was feeling too week and dizzy to do anything. She got calls and messages from her friends and classmates. It was hilarious that so many people showed concerned about her being absent. They all wanted to be in her good books because of Arjun Singhania but only if they knew that their closeness with her will only put them in Arjun Singhania's hitlist.

Next day she was feeling back like herself. Adding to her happy mood it was Saturday and that meant no college. But looking at the time she sighed. It was 9:30! She will have to do with fruits again. Arjun Singhania and his stupid rules. Taking a refreshing bath she came downstairs to have her super healthy fruit breakfast.

"Good morning Dolly ji" she said and sat down on chair.

"Good morning. How are you feeling now?" Dolly replied coming over to her.

Arohi turned the plate and looked for knife and apple while answering back "I am perfectly fine now. Your chicken soup did the trick" she grinned.

Dolly chuckled and kept a soup bowl in front of her.

She looked at her surprised "Dolly ji its 10. I am late"

"Today morning Arjun Sir himself was late for breakfast so he removed the time table and..." She stopped abruptly.

Arohi raised her brows "and?"

"And now Dolly's kitchen is open all time"

She smiled and looked at wall where the time table was stuck. It was no longer there. So monster himself couldn't abide by his own rules.

"So now tell me what would you like to have for breakfast?" Dolly asked resuming back to her work in kitchen.

After having scrambled eggs with the toasts as soon as she stood up to leave, Dolly came to her holding a bouquet of pink roses.

"We got this in morning" she placed it on table.

Arohi looked at bouquet confused and found a card that said "Get well soon joker"

She grinned as she realized it was from none other Dhondhu. As he is the only one who calls her joker. She happily took the bouquet to her room and called Dhondhu.

"Thank you for the beautiful bouquet Dhondz" she spoke as soon as he picked her call.

"I hope now you will get well soon"

She chuckled "Too bad! I got well before ur wishes could reach me"

"That's nice. But seriously how are you?"

"I am fine. You tell me what happened in class yesterday. Send me all the notes"

After talking for few more minutes she hung up the call.

Sitting on bed she thought if she should say thanks to Arjun? Whatever it should be but he indeed saved her life. She convinced herself but decided against it. Because it was also because of him she was in that situation. First he owe her a sorry infact a lot of sorries.

Expect one more update soon in Arjun's POV 😬😬
