"I have already said rejections are made from options... and I am not included in your options."Aarohi said firmly indicating that she was not interest in any kind of business with him."If you really want to help me then lets move towards my house,otherwise you may leave my bag here."
"Why are you so cold to me?"he asked to the girl who have already started to head towards her home.
"hmmph"Faisal sighed disappointingly as he headed towards her home.
In front of House of Jains,she took all the bags from him and as he was heading towards his car which was parked half a kilometre away,Aarohi, out of the blue, said something which darkened Faisal's expressions.
"Thank you for your help."her posture was so formal as if he provided any kind of service to her.
He quietly turned away and headed towards his car.
....
Next morning.
Aarohi grabbed her bag and headed to bus stop.As she was striding towards bus stop,a hand enclosed her neck out of the blue,she struggled to freed herself and then her next move made the owner of the hand to cry in pain.Her elbow crashed on belly of assailant.
"Do you really think your bestie can't even defend herself when her own best friend is a martial art master."She turned around and hugged her own assailant.The hug wasn't intimate but a light one.She pulled herself away looked at the handsome face of Sid.
"Looks like you are getting stronger."
She gave a slight smile and didn't minded to reply him."Congratulations,Mr. Actor.I want a full night party."She wished him joy.
"As if I can escape."he smirked.
"By the way,when will your shoot began?"
"Are you going to ask me everything here?"Sid asked as he looked around the street.Then he held her hand and dragged her towards her home."Sate your curiosity,once we reach home."
"But I have school today."Aarohi objected.
"My genius dumbo,one day skip won't make you a failure.I promise I will help you to pass the exam."he said as they both headed to her home.
Aarohi let out a laugh sarcastically as she taunted,"You,sixty percent scorer,will teach me!"
"ughmm,because of people like you marks are getting more importance than capabilities."
The pair argued as they reached her home.
Aarohi went inside and cried,"Mom look who is here."Aarohi dragged him with his arm and made him to sit on sofa.
"Why have you returned?"Mrs. Jain came out of kitchen and the moment she saw Sid,her eyes sparkled with joy."Sid,my boy,when did you arrived?"
"Mom,don't call him that,how many times.."before she could finish Mrs. Jain defended,"Okay..Okay.."
She moved to him and caress his hair gently.
"Lets have breakfast,first."
Three of them had breakfast.Then Sid took Aarohi to a theatre for movie than they had lunch together in a restaurant.Then they went to amusement park because he knew nothing could make her satisfied more than a ferris wheel.
"Do you want more treats?"Sid asked taking deep breath as if he was tired."We have just began to have fun,how can you get tired so soon?"Aarohi defended because she had an intention of making his wallet so empty that he can't even go back to city M.
Truthfully,they rarely met four or five times in a year,so whenever she met him she wanted to spend most of time with him.Being away from her best friend was already painful for her.A pain that only she can feel.As for Sid,he was caring and protective of Aarohi.She was like one of the most important priority of his life after,Mrs. Oberoi.Actually,Sid had no plan to visit her now,but when he got to know about Faisal,he flew here immediately to lighten up her mood.He knew that it was her first time to go through such kind of situation.She is seventeen and Sid is of eighteen.Their youth have just began.This age can be as dangerous as sword,if learnt consciously it can help you to defend and if not, then sword, itself,can harm you.Some careful steps in this age can take you to peak of success and alternatively to hell of failure.
After a long day of joy,they reached home.Aarohi prepared coffee for them after dinner.Sid was watching entertainment news about the concept of his upcoming show.Media was quite interested in these show because the life of Ashoka(a king in ancient India,who adopted Buddhism after a cruel Kalinga war which killed thousands of people)was not as simple as it appeared in history books.Creators of show have dug out many mysteries and gone through thousands of history books just to create a interesting content for their viewers,of course,Sid's name appeared on Tv but media couldn't find any of his picture.
While Sid was watching tv,Aarohi went upstairs to give coffee cups to her parents,holding a cup in each hand.
Mr. and Mrs. Jain were chattering something.
"I have discussed with Mrs. Oberoi.She also thinks that we should tell them about our plans."Mrs.Jain said as if she was trying to convince his husband on some issue.
"But still,Aarohi is just a kid right now."he objected putting his point of view.
"I agree but our Aarohi is more rational than any other kid of that age,and I am also afraid that she,herself,might choose someone if we didn't tell her.Please,understand,Sid is best for her as life partner."
and the moment she finished, a sound of breakage of some crockery was heard behind them.
