Madhu sat near Arushi and touched her head gently, as Jia has already told everything about that day's incident. Madhu couldn't able to question Aarav as she thought of Harish and remained quiet. She respected that person very much just like Arushi.
When Arushi tried to open her eyes and mouthed "Where am I", Jia told her that she's at home and Aarav had dropped her. Hearing his name she muttered "Monster" in half sleep and went back to her dreamy state.
Madhu and Jia had their faint smiles. They then helped her to get change much to her dismay but somehow succeeded and let her sleep peacefully.
Aarav had lots of thoughts running in his mind while returning to his home. He couldn't understand why he felt like that when she cried. Her hug had made him fall flat for her as it felt very new to him. It's not like he didn't have hugs before but he was rude enough to keep the girls from throwing themselves to him. And clearly, Arushi is exceptional.
His cold heart thought of their first meet... Her face while smiling... irked... angry... nervous... everything. He realized that she looked very pretty and attractive in each expression.
He even had a smile when he remembered her behavior towards that lollipop. He didn't get why he wanted to watch her always while he's so furious in taking his revenge against her.
He, in fact, unknowingly felt jealous when Adi and Arjun chatted with her. He still couldn't believe that he fed her. With these thoughts racing inside of him, he reached home.
He tried to sleep but obviously, he couldn't. He's now very furious as to why her thoughts were haunting him like this.
"No, don't fall for her Aarav. She deserves much more and we still need to get an apology from her mouth" with this he finally smirked with a determination and slept after plotting another plan.
Early morning by 6 Aarav went and knocked Arushi's home. Madhu, who opened the door, stood stunned of not knowing why he was there this early.
"Son, please come in" despite her deep thoughts she invited him politely. She was now really worried about his arrival when her thoughts went to Arushi who is still sleeping.
"Arushi" saying this he got settled in the seat shown by Madhu.
"She's still sleeping son," she said hesitatingly.
"Wake her up. We need to leave urgently" he said sternly checking his timing in his watch.
Madhu nodded herself and went near Arushi's room. She then knocked her door calling her name. "What Aunty" a very sleepy Arushi came out rubbing her eyes. Madhu just signaled her to his direction.
When her eyes met him, hers became wide and unknowingly uttered: "monster". She then covered her mouth with her palm not knowing what to do.
While he kept his face straight, even though he had heard her clearly and let his eyes see her keenly. Her messy hairs looked good and she was really cute in her night-dress. He felt difficult to move his stare from her and cursed himself to get hold of his revenge plot.
She felt uneasy with his piercing stare. Sensing it, he said "Half an hour time, we need to leave for a meeting" tapping his watch. She opened her mouth to ask something but before that, he answered "Your time starts now". This made her move towards her room angrily muttering "As if am in a race".
Madhu watched their interaction with wide eyes. "Oh god" saying this she came towards Aarav.
"Son would you like to have coffee," she asked softly.
He nodded like yes as he felt very bored now.
Madhu turned on the TV and gave the remote to him. He took it reluctantly, kept the news channel after searching for it, and lost in it.
Hearing the voices, Jia came out in her night-dress too; yawning a bit as she has just now woke. Both Aarav and Jia looked at each other. That's it, Jia ran into Arushi's room while Aarav shrugged, continued with the news, and sipped the coffee which Madhu has given him a few minutes earlier.
"Hey Arushi" Jia banged the bathroom door hardly.
"What yaar" she replied to her without opening the door.
"What is he doing here" Jia almost whispered it.
"To take me to a meeting," she said just like that.
"Oh" Jia felt for Arushi as the day hasn't started yet but he's already after her.
"Yaar, my time is running" she opened the door and pouted sadly.
"What" Jia couldn't get what she meant.
"Already 15 minutes went, now only 15 minutes are left, within that I should get ready" she uttered helplessly.
"Hey, just chill okay, I will bring your tea" Jia said understandingly and left her room.
Jia came out and looked at Aarav, who now looked her too. "Good morning Sir," she said nervously. He gave a curt nod and asked "Is she ready". "She's getting ready Sir" saying this she took his cup from the table and went to the kitchen to take tea for Arushi. He noticed that Jia is carrying Arushi's cup towards her room. Within five minutes, Arushi came out and stood before him holding her bag. She has readied within 30 minutes. Aarav just eyed her from head to toe which made her stomach churn in nervous.
Instead, she slowly uttered "Shall we move, Sir" which made him come from his trance state. He stood and moved out while she followed him like a puppet. It was 6.40 am when they walked out.
Madhu just watched him and turning to Jia asked "Why he's looking our Sanka Devi like that" she felt protective over her. Jia just blinked not knowing what to say. "Our Sanka Devi is always pretty" convincing herself Madhu went to the Kitchen. Jia realized that if she stands there like this, then she will be late.
He asked her to sit in the passenger seat of his Mercedes while thinking "I will now show her, how to drive properly" with a smirk remembering their market incident. Arushi felt a shiver though she sat quietly.
After settling in his seat, he almost ordered her to put the seat belt. She hasn't forgotten about what she had told about his driving, on their first meeting. Her hands struggled with the belt strangely. Watching that, he helped her with the seat belt but not before throwing a glare at her.
Then he started to drive. He slowly picked up the speed. Here and there he checked her with a smirk while she held the door in fear with closed eyes. She's scared to her core.
"How's my driving" hearing this she opened her eyes and looked at him sharply. "Are you scared of my drive" he mocked her with his smirk. She didn't reply to him and instead looked out in the window.
"Apologize" she turned her attention towards him after hearing this. "I will slow down" he smirked. Her eyes instantly welled up but she gulped it and turned to continue looking through her window side.
This made him very furious that he accelerated his drive to her fear. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Answer me, otherwise I will be increasing more" he smiled at her helplessness.
"My parents died in an accident" she yelled opening her eyes and turned towards him, which made him halt instantly. "I was the only one, who survived that accident" she continued with tears which have started to flow over her cheeks. "That's why, am scared of darkness, speedy drive, even to thunder and lightning which remains me of my parents" saying this she turns towards the window and wiped her tears angrily.
