E.Q. of Sid was not as bad as that of Aarohi.He was able to understand what he needs.The moment he felt jealous of Faisal,he understood that his feelings towards Aarohi was growing at a rocket speed and either he can control them or express them.He cannot let them grow within him because if he did that he might explode on anybody including Aarohi due to frustration.Yes,he was feeling jealous and he was also frustrated because of trouble caused by Faisal but the moment he realised that it was because of the feelings that were nurturing within him,a small smile appeared on his face.

City S
House of Jains
Aarohi was sitting in her room,staring the screen of her phone.Aarohi had no connection with social media so she was taking updates through Aaditya. Originally ,she thought of telling the situation to Sid if situation worsen, but what Aaditya told her on phone call made her widen her eyes.She had no idea that Aaditya was updating two people simultaneously just like a girl who is two timing.
"Sister,Problem is solved.Don't worry.You always have your knight protecting you from behind."Aaditya was indicated to Sid but Aarohi seemed ignorant and thought that he was blowing his trumpet.She had no idea that Sid had solved the problem.She knew that Sid had excellence in hacking and Sid would delete those posts if she asks him.But How did Aaditya solved the problem?Instead of getting in pickle she asked him herself.
"How did you solved it?"
"I did not do anything.I asked Sid to do it.I just told him ten minutes before about it and look...it's solved."Aaditya gave a grin as he talked to the other line.
When Aarohi heard the name of his knight as described by Aaditya,a instant blush appeared on her face.He solved the problem behind her back.She was shocked and reddened.She never felt that instant heart beats and feeling of security.Was she falling for her best friend? The she thought of him,she got lost in her own world but out of the blue,a knock on the door of room swept her out.She turned and saw her father with mugs of tea in his hands.Mr. Jain walked to her and sat beside her passing her cup of tea.
"So...Has my daughter decided her plans or she needs more time?Hmm."He said as he took a sip of tea.
"Dad...I-I think.."her voice crumbled.
"Don't worry.No one will dare to pressure you as long as I am here.I think your mom too want you to decide freely.But still I thought to chat with you over a cup of tea....As it is said.."
"A lot can happen over a cup of tea."They both said in chorus and then laughed hard.
Aarohi who was now grinning lost in thought that only two persons can change her mood so easily.She smiled at the thought of Sid and his father.Every girl wants her partner to care her in a way her father did.Aarohi was no different.
"Dad..I think I should give your plan a thought.Sid isn't a bad option."The moment she finished,the face of her father sparkled as if the last wish of his life had come true.
Well,truth to be told,their marriage was indeed a last wish of Sid's father and he wanted to make it come true.He remembered the day of her birth and the smile on his best friend's face when they decided their marriage.
"Dad,there are years in front of me before marriage,I think right now I should have other priorities.But that doesn't mean I am against this marriage.I am just not ready."
He was astonished on the rationality of his daughter and also delighted by beauty of her thoughts towards their plan just like a baby watching fire work first time and don't know either to get astonished or to appraise the beauty.He patted her back and went back silently but his eyes were saying it all.
When he went back,Aarohi called Sid.
"Hello.Sid."
"I told you something.Never to hide anything from me.How can you not tell me about such trouble"Sid said the moment he picked up her call.
"I am sorry."she said in a weak voice.
"Aarohi,its been four and half hours since it got posted.I know,you must have got calls from friends and you might have not picked them up.So you had no idea what was going online."Sid scolded her as his voice became colder and his aura became dangerous but still a panic could be traced in his voice which made her regret it more.Even Aarohi was startled by Sid's understanding over the situation.How did he know things so exactly?
"I am sorry.I should have been more careful.I didn't give them attention as they are just gossip monger.Who would have thought that a boy would cause so much trouble for me.I am sorry Sid."
Sid calmed himself down as he took a deep breath and continued,"I am sorry too.I got panicked...Of coarse how would you know what was going online.But still you should pick up calls from your friends.And I am sorry for speaking so rudely."Sid actually regretted his words.How can he speak to her in that cold tone.What if she is hurt by his words?
"Its okay Sid.You are worried therefore you got panicked and truth to be told mistake is on my part so I must be the one to be sorry."
"Oh..Stop it now..I can't handle these apologies any more.Why are conversing like professional admitting their mistakes."
"Ha..ha..if that's the case then we must get sued for breaking code of conduct."Aarohi giggled as she finished.
"Come on,I am the upcoming star.Man!..who would dare to sue me."
"Blowing one's trumpet isn't healthy Mr.Oberoi,the so called upcoming star.Get there first,till then....talk to my hand."Aarohi teased him and a joyous environment again brimmed among both.
"Its late now.I have shooting tomorrow.Bye."
"Is it your first day?"
"Um..Hmm..Yes."
"Then go to temple before set and take blessings of Elder mother(Mrs.Oberoi) before leaving home."Aarohi instructed him like a boss ordering his employee.
"Yes,teacher."Sid said in a tone of student.
They bid a good night to each other and went to bed.
