Chapter 7 - Full of Surprises

I couldn't believe, so I searched all the other cards in that bag and all were named as 'AARUSH KHANNA'. I was shocked, mainly about, is he the same name person Aarush, that my aunt was talking about, is he the same one I had met in the airport while we exchanged our luggage, and is he the one who used to love me in the college time according to my friends...,!!! Thousands of thoughts were roaming in my mind, standing confused and stunned, till then he came out after taking shower with one white towel wrapped from his waist and one hanging in his shoulders. I ignored him and meanwhile he asked, "Where the luggage are, and what that is in your hand?"

"So, you are Mr. Aarush Khanna, the same man I met in the airport, while exchanging my luggage, and you know my aunt already", I said angrily, as I totally hate liars.

He was surprised, and answered me, "Wait!! What!! Are you mad!?"

"oh, that means you are not even the same boy who was loving me in my college days as per my friends and following me every time and everywhere.", said knowing the fact that he is the same man I know earlier.

He was quite for a while and said, "then you caught me" and he turned around and started drying his hairs.

I suddenly stand in front from him and said, "Then why you told me that...."

But, one trauma was not enough to grasp, another was standing outside the door already.

(Door Bell Rang)

"Oh my God!! Am I just dreaming so far", I read from my brain. (Whatever happened just happened in my thoughts....)

Two Indian Soldiers in Foreign country is actually weird. I greeted them, and, said, "Sorry Generals!! I'm Rooh"

"But I'm not in any case the daughter of Commando Shikhawat!!" "I think there may be some misunderstanding!!"

They looked each other's face and speak slowly, General 1: "Yes, Commando was right, she don't know anything about her past life when she was young."

General 2: "I think we should give it to her, that's really important now to give these letters to her as per Sir Commando"

They handed some bunch of letters and pictures to me, and said, "Commando wants to give these stuffs to you before his secret mission starts. He wrote these letters before going into the mission. So, we come here from far away just to see you."

"Oh! Is that so important!! Anyways, thank you officers!!" I said.

"Jai Hind!!"

(Both the Soldiers said in little high tone while saluting me)

And they depart.

It was full of curiosity that what was in those letters and pictures that soldiers reached here just to hand it to me personally. I was about to open it, but all of sudden heard a voice, "What's you doing!? Where's our luggage!? If they are not here then who rang the bell these many times!?" he came out with same t-shirt and one towel wrapped his waist. I kept my stuffs quickly beside the pillow of my bed.

Then, I talked straight looking into his eyes aggressively, "here are your some important accessories. The cab driver just left it over here to me!!"

And, he made himself relief after checking what's inside it as if he thought that I haven't disclosed his real name till now, but fortunately, I already have. I couldn't speak to him about it. Because, the message written in a tiny page slipped just before he could find me reading it from his wallet said, "Aarush, Take care of Rooh - Dr. Avantika Shikhawat."

Of course, this message ruined my senses, as I was not able to overcome from so much truths in front of me, firstly, is he really Aarush Khanna? Secondly, the surname Shikhawat hits me twice!? Are they both connected!?" and lastly, "how is this Shikhawat name connected to me!?"

The second doorbell helped me to enter in present. This time, I was hoping for our luggage instead of any other surprises. Luckily, luggage is here, also our dinner too. Such a sweet behavior of manager to send the meal before calling them for it, and the best part is that they delivered us some Indian food. I shut the thoughts for sometimes, till then he managed to serve the meals. We were literally too hungry, so we focused on that delicious material instead of talking about the plans for tomorrow.

All items were my favorite, except the drinks mainly the bear bottle. But, he loved it. And, he suggested me to try one so as to catch my throat clean and relax from thirsty mood. After few bites of paneer chilli, the red throat burnt me from inside, so he insisted me to have one sip. I tried for the first time and will never lie to anybody, that "It was Yuccckkk", but I have not vomited yet, instead I loved it after two - three sip of cup, because we have only one thing to avoid our thirst. Now I come to know why the world after 10 minutes starts rolling round and round and why we're able to see five same type of person sitting in front of you. I was speaking something nuisance, I couldn't hear that, but his expressions was enough to elaborate my words from my blurred vision. Sometimes, he smiled; sometimes he become shy, maybe one time, I thought he was falling in love with me. That one moment, forced him to come closer to me. And, he was about to kiss me. But, before we could touch, he pushed me and went far away. As if I had said something very strange. Then, I could only hear the last words before falling asleep,

"Aarush, tell meeh no, do u lov meeh!?"
