Arohi got up earlier than usual just to match her time with Arjun's breakfast time. Although after speeding up her process she still was 5 minutes late than him. She pasted a fake smile on her face and pulled a chair leaving 1 chair to his left."Good Morning" she said with extra wide smile.
He gave her a brooding look and picked newspaper to read. Acting unfazed Arohi pour herself some orange juice in glass while slyly remarking.
"Dolly ji... it's hard to find nice people who wish back good morning!"
She caught Arjun looking at her with narrow eyes behind news paper. Putting down the paper he straightened his back.
"Good morning Arohi"
Biting her tongue Arohi stopped herself from smiling. This is gonna be fun! She thought.
Dolly came outside holding tray of his breakfast and kept it in front of him. She then went back to prepare Arohi's breakfast.
Arohi glanced at Arjun. He was completely engrossed in reading newspaper so she discreetly pulled his breakfast in front of her.
His hand reached for toast but instead he came in contact with hard wooden surface. Just as he removed newspaper to look she quickly stuffed her mouth.
So much anger reflected in his eyes that Arohi's was sure she had won the challenge. Arohi's waited and waited but his crass words never came instead he asked Dolly ji to prepare another plate for him.
Arohi groaned and picking fork and knife she deliberately started making noises while eating omelette. She saw him clenching his fist. She was sure now he will pass a remark on her manners and middle class upbringing.
She frowned and stuffed her mouth "ArjunCaYuFasMeJuce"
"What!?"
"Juch" when he still didn't understand she pointed at pitcher of juice beside him.
As if he finally realized he spoke "juice?"
She nodded and continued speaking with her mouth full "DollyJiIWantFruits" "DollyJiIWillBeLate"
But nothing was working on him. He was getting irritated but not acting on his irritation. She looked at glass of water on edge of table and on pretext of picking something she pushed the glass on his lap.
"Oops!" "I am sorry" she spoke in tone which implied opposite of it.
He stood up spitting fire at her and his mouth opened. Words came out but not she wanted.
"It's ok. I'll change"
He left from there leaving Arohi's frustrated.
Damn it! Earlier her face was enough to get him started. God knows from here he had developed this self control. It isn't going to be as easy as she thought.
*****
Arohi hid herself behind book as her friends kept on teasing her about their last night's dance video. In last 15 minutes she had cursed Romit and Jai more than she had cursed in her entire life.
"Aru when are u inviting us over at your place? I have heard so much about it. Can't wait to see it" Prachi spoke leisurely leaning back on chair.
"Yeah! We haven't met Arjun Jijaji after marriage" Shefali too gave he input and soon everyone started forcing her.
Arohi was going to deny them as Arjun won't like them coming over but stopped because "Arjun won't like them coming over".
"Arey! Why don't u guys come today?" She grinned mischievously as everyone agreed.
God bless Arjun Singhania's self-control!
After her classes Arohi went to library as she had started working there as a part time job to manage her finances. Her friends never come to this place so she won't have any trouble of explaining it to them.
Apart from getting salary she would have free access to all books so she won't even have to worry about buying course books that cost fortune.
Done with her shift she called driver to pick her up from back gate which was closer to library.
"How is your son now?" She didn't get to ask in morning as she was in hurry.
"He is fine now Mam"
Arohi nodded and then on second thoughts added "Suraj Bhaiya if u need some help with money don't feel shy to ask"
He smiled and then shook his head "Arjun Sir took care of it all, Mam. He sent his manager Ravi ji on that day itself and made sure my son get good treatment"
Not knowing how to react she just gave a curt nod. She was shocked knowing that. Arjun surely didn't come across as someone like that.
15 minutes after she reached, her friends arrived. She had already informed Dolly ji so she had made all arrangements. She welcomed them all and waited for Arjun to come. They all had hardly settled when door opened and seemingly tired Arjun entered.
Perfect! Arohi thought with a grin.
He looked stunned seeing so many people in his house and looking at him like he was some specimen.
"Arjun" she spoke extra gleefully walking towards him "they all were insisting to meet you. So I invited them over. I did right na?"
"Come let me introduce them"
She dragged his hand ignoring his angry looks.
"She is Prachi" Prachi stared at him with star stucked eyes making Arohi roll her eyes.
Arjun shook her hand forcing a smile.
Same was the case with Shefali. Arohi so wanted to expose true colors of Arjun Singhania in front of them but she can't trust their boasty mouths. If they by mistake spoke the truth of their marriage in front of anyone then she will land in new troubles.
Next were Dhruv and Dhondhu. Dhruv was typical him but she felt Dhondhu was little withdrawn. Maybe he was shy and reserved meeting Arjun personally for first time. She shrugged
Sitting aside Arohi was totally enjoying the show. Her friends were continuously bugging Arjun asking questions, clicking selfies and telling ridiculously stories. The look on his face was priceless. He was so not enjoying being hovered like that.
The work is done! Arohi sighed and leaned back on chair sipping her lemon juice.
Once her friends were gone she looked at Arjun who was standing with crossed arms.
"Next time you invite your friends, inform me beforehand"
Just that!!!! She stared at his retreating back. She ran behind him.
"Arjun I know you are angry. You don't need to contain your anger. It's bad for health and I am habitual."
"No Arohi. Why would I be angry? Infact your friends are pretty hot I means good. Call Shefali and Prachi over someday again" he winked and left from there leaving Arohi gaping at his words.
She angrily stomped her foot. Ganda Ghatiya Aadami! (Dirty Creep Man)
All the idea to annoy Arjun are welcome! 😉
