The weekend had passed, and arjun didn't get a call back from gauri. He got worried. Sometimes why did she have to act so mysterious. Lately she'd been acting weird. She would fight for no reason. She was moody and irritated. He had tried asking her a lot of times, whether something disturbed her, but she denied.
He then decided to ask Arohi for help.
Arjun ' Arohi, you gotta help me!!! Tu ek ladki hai na??
Arohi ' like duhhh?? I am one obviously! What help?
Arjun ' just imagine'. You are acting very weird, you do not want to talk to me, I haven't done anything, but you just want to fight. You are annoyed ' irritated'.
Arohi ' okay, I get it' and so??
Arjun ' just temme, what possible reason you could have?
Arohi ' maybe im bored of you?? ;)
Arjun ' be serious yaar' please..
Arohi ' okay, sorry. But seriously, maybe I have something else in mind, like other problems and I am removing that irritation on you, indirectly?
Arjun ' makes sense' but an other reason'
Arohi ' ummm'. Maybe im trying to push you to do something I want to be done??
Arjun ' okaaay.. I quite don't get that.. and what is that you want??
Arohi ' arrrre?? Woh mujhe kaise pata?? Go ask your girlfriend'
Arjun ' that's what I tried asking her. She isn't saying anything' you girls are very ' ajeeb, to understand..
Arohi ' ajeeb?? Did yu really try asking her?
Arjun ' ya I did try..
Arohi ' then yu gotta try harder!!!
Arjun ' oye!!! What the hell??
Arohi ' hehhe!!
Arjun ' I think I better meet her up and talk to her!!
Arohi ' good luck!!
Arjun ' thanks!! I need it'.
Arohi ' chal, I gotta go now, catch yu later!!
Arjun ' hmmm cool then!! I hope things will be fine..
Arohi ' love is messed up' its nothing but pain!!
Arjun ' why do yu keep saying that??
Arohi ' later, gotta go really, work calling! Bye!
He wondered.. why she always said that'
Anyways leaving about Arohi, he didn't know what was wrong with gauri' he decided to go and ask her what was wrong with her'
He met her and tried asking her, what had been wrong since the past few days' she just kept quiet. She didn't say anything yet again. This got Arjun frustrated, and he left.
A day gone wrong for him. What was the BIG problem anyway!!!
He called up Arohi again!! Maybe she'd understand and say anything. He called her, and maybe luck at its best, she couldn't pick up' She messaged him instead. 'hey in a meeting' what happened?' he badly wanted to talk' but damn!! 'nothing much' I met gauri.. she was mum!', he replied' she replied instantly ' 'like I always say, love is pain'. 'oh shut up, wrap up fast, we'll go out tonight..', he messaged back!!
_____________________________________________________
It took her an hour to complete her meeting and other stuff at work. He picked her up as soon as she stepped out of her office. She figured out he clearly needed some time off .
"arjun, im going to drive!!!", arohi said in a full on fun way!!
"no, I wanna drive", he refused.
"oh shut up'. You'll drive at what ' a speed of 10?", she mocked him.
"haw.. not true"
"it is.. anyways listen, '. Umm.. chuck it.. move and gimme the keys!"
She sat on the driver's seat and sped off to a street where they sold clothes'(like the locals who sell on the road)
Arohi ' look, no questions' just shut up and do as I say!!
Arjun ' but temme what??
Arohi ' like yu say when I ask you' you don't, so even im not going to!!!
Arjun ' tit for tat huh?
Arohi ' yes' its on me!! Lets parttyyyy!!!
Arjun ' no mood.. have you gonee mad??
She dragged him'. And they bought clothes.
He couldn't believe he was wearing it..
Arjun ' pink tee with green pants.
Arohi ' blue torn tee(kinda short) and pink shorts.
He was'. Shocked, speechless and aghast! This chick had gone mad, crazy he thought' And with these funky clothes, he didn't know where they were heading to. It was pointless asking her, because she wouldn't say anything!!!
Soon they reached the bowling alley' and off they went bowling. She challenged him' and they played' her screams, and shouts brought everybody's attention to them, for she screamed the loudest. They had already gained everyone's attention when they entered. All thanks to Arohi's sense of clothing.
When she won, she started dancing and jumping, like some kid had just been gifted a big bar of chocolate. Then she dragged him along to the video games section. bike racing, basket ball, dashing cars, everything!! They played, they won, they lost, they had so much fun, and he felt so much better now.
"you know what, you are one mad chick!!!", he said getting into the car'
"and why is that?", she asked just tying her seat belt.
"you didn't have to pour water on yourself",he replied looking at her.
Back in the alley, she had poured water on herself, for she was feeling hot apparently. And that got her upper torso wet. Water dripping down her hair, face and neck.. and it was quite a sight for the others..
"oh, I was feeling hot!!", she replied with a wink.
"right! And you must have missed the guys staring at the water on your neck, and drooling over you.. your short top, and shorts were enough and on top of that you got water over you. Too seducing!", he added the last line in a lesser tone.
"ahan'' that's good!!"
"yeah right!!"
And she drove faster'
"heyyy.. slow down' "he freaked seeing her drive like a nut.
"hmm.. if you say so!"
She drove in silence.
She got down at her place and handed the keys to Arjun' and he quietly drove back home.
She was just about to close her eyes, when she got a text. It was from Arjun which read ' 'you are one MAD chick. Thanks for the 'classy' clothes, the bowling match(although I let you win ;) ) and the games. Had FUN!!! And for being with me and giving me some awesome 'arohi-time'' just needed that!! :) :)
She smiled and replied ' right, I won the match fair and square!! And you're welcome'. And about ur gf, don't worry, she'll come around' but yeah, im there na ' arohi-time is just a call away!!! :)
Arjun texted back ' yeah, 'arohi-time'. Lol, but this just reminded me of my crazy college days, specially my last year' we had great times and we acted mad and funky just like this!
College, last year just struck a cord. She didn't want to carry this conversation for she knew it would head to talking about college and stuff, and she didn't want to bring it all up again. It had taken her lot of time to move on with it. So she replied that she was sleepy, and would talk tomorrow!
.
.
She was in a complete mess when she finished college and took up the job. Bua was her official guardian, and she wanted to get arohi married ASAP, to lessen her burden. She had heard so much from her bua during her final year at college. Everyday, she'd tell arohi about something she lacked, she didn't know how to cook, or how she'd been a bad child, or a guilt-trip out of no where. She couldn't take things at home, and there was too much pressure from college.
It was her final year, she remembered. There were project submissions and college had just gotten too hectic. Her bua at home, and college ' so much tension and frustration. It was then that she met him.
He made her forget all of her tensions and everything. He showed her a new life ' a whole new life. She was just too happy with him, and was beginning to love him. She was completely dissolved in his euphoria.
But'.
But what???
Whom had she begun to love?
.
What was wrong with Gauri??
.
See ya in next chapter of 'MAKE ME FALL IN LOVE'!!
Guys, this is chapter 3... and i want big comments on this!! it really encourages, and as a booster!!! please comment and let me know how yu liked it!!!
PART 4
I am so sorry about the late update. College, and exams and stuff, i almost forgot about this. But since i have holidays now, i will be updating a part every week :)
Arjun got worried day after day. His new project about the whole 'wedding-stuff-website' thing was getting more complicated day by day, he just couldn't figure out the proper stuff, and Gauri had disappeared. Obviously there was no other go, he had to ask Arohi to help him.
Meanwhile, Arohi's life just got a little better at office. And back home, she told her bua, that she would be moving out soon, for she didn't want to be a burden on her. Her bua was relieved, but tension prevailed, where would she go?
Arjun was sitting in his cabin. Staring at the computer screen, he was helpless. Why was gauri so weird!!! He wanted to know. He tried yet another time.
"Gauri!! What is wrong baby, please temme???", he asked her politely, holding her hand. This was the umpteenth time he was asking her. He tried questioning that in every way possible – in anger, in desperateness, with love, politely, every way. Just no answer. He needed one, for he just couldn't figure out what was wrong.. what went wrong or what was going wrong!
"nothing arjun… ", she tried avoiding it.
Fed up with her answers, he hung up. He called up arohi, hoping to figure out about the wedding website atleast. She told him that she would help him. But work piling up, and busy office, she planned to meet him on Friday for dinner to discuss about the website.
The week passed by in a hush. Arjun drove her to a quiet place for dinner. He needed the quiet atmosphere and with so much tension and everything, he needed a calm ambience to discuss work.
Arjun – arohi you want anything more?
Arohi- - nope, that would be all.. *signaling the waiter, their order was done*
Arjun – so arohi.. there is this company which…
Arohi – arjun, I'll tell you what, lets just enjoy dinner peacefully, without having to think about the website thing. We'll discuss it after dinner?
Arjun – okay, if you say so!
Arohi – good! So temme, what's happening with gauri? Problem solved?
Arjun – nah!! She is not telling anything.. I have tried asking her in every way I could.
Arohi – well, then leave it..
Arjun – how do I leave it?? Im so worried..
Arohi- hey.. she will come around.. waise bhi, I told you, don't get into a relationship.. enjoy being a single ;)
Arjun – oh shut up.. and single reh ke enjoy kaise karta?
Arohi – there are so many other single ladies.. unke saath timepass karo…
Arjun – wahi toh kar raha hu na..
Arohi – WHAT?? Kiske saath?
Arjun – tumhare saath dumbo ;)
Arohi - *shocked..* ahan.. stop hitting on me!!
Arjun – tum hi ne toh kaha tha.. enjoy with single ladies.. hit on them.. wahi toh kar raha hu…ab Arohi.. tum hi batao.. *innocently* main tumhara best friend hu na.. ab tumhaari baat kaise taal sakta hu??
Arohi – ohh mere chunnu-munnu *pulling his cheeks* shweet se cutie-sweetie bacha, *raising her voice now* itna innocent act karne ki koshish mat karo!!
Arjun – chunnu-munnu arohi, mujhe act karne ki jarurat nahi hai.. mai hu hi innocent..
Arohi – oh please…
Arjun – arre puri baat sun lo.. mai innocent tha.. but jab tum meri dost bani ho, tabse tumhari sangat ka asar padte padte meri innocence chali gayi.. not my fault!
Arohi – ab bacha, bada toh hona padega na… toh I thought tumhe training de du.. kaam ayegi kabhi future me..,.
Arjun – waise food is good…
Arohi – ya it is.. my choice, so obviously!!
Arjun – food is good except this tamatar in the sabji.. arohi.. yeh tumhari choice hai na, toh ye tamatar tum khao.. *transferring the tomato piece onto her plate..*
Arohi – eiiiw!!! Have some table manners arjun!!
Arjun – what table manners?? Take this too.. I don't like capsicum in my noodles..
Arohi – arjun.. yuk!! If you don't want then side me rakho na.. mere plate mei kyu daal rahe ho??
Arjun – bapu ji se sikha.. he didn't wear a shirt because millions in this country were poor to afford clothing.. same thing for food.. mai khana toh chod nahi sakta, atleast khana waste nahi karunga..
Arohi – oho!! Bapu ji aaj kaise yaad agaye??
Arjun – kal 2nd October hai.. gandhiji ki itni yaad agayi, isiliye tumhe ek din pehle hi dinner karane le aaya!! On behalf on gandhiji, im giving yu his birthday treat!
Arohi – HA-HA-HA, whatte a joke? Can it get more funnier?? OUCH, my stomach hurts, cos I have laughed that much!!
Arjun – okay, shut up. . BTW, where were we?
Arohi – umm.. whattt?
Arjun – yes, we were talking about me hitting on you. .
Arohi – yeah right, now yu shut up!
Arjun – actually, you're not that good that 'I' can hit on you!!
Arohi – what do yu mean? I am anyday better than your gf gauri!!
Arjun – don't talk about her..
Arohi – why not?
Arjun – you are no way in competition..
Arohi – LISTEN! Let's have a deal.. I seduce atleast 3 guys, and get them ask me out and yu try 3 girls..
Arjun – okay, deals on. You go first, I'll watch!
Guy 1 :
Arohi – hey, do yu mind if I sit here?
Guy – no problem..
Arohi – I want some wine..
Guy – sure… *orders wine *
Arohi – hmm.. thanks.. so what do you do?
Guy – I am an automobile engineer..
Arohi – oh that's cool.. so temme other stuff you like?
Guy – cars are my passion, I love racing.
Arohi – and I love racers *wink*
Guy - *smiles, and blushes*
Arohi – so why don't you gimme a lift home, and we'll see your racing skills..
Guy – sure, and maybe we could hit this bar, where they serve awesome wine??
Arohi – totally cool!!
Guy – lets go then!
Arohi – sure.. I'll just be back..
.
.
Arjun – you're a FLIRT!
Arohi – I'm GOOD.. admit it.
Arjun – dirty flirt!
Arohi – im good. Anyways should I go and do 2 more guys, or are you convinced?
Arjun – nope, yu win!!
.
.
Having fun, teasing each other and lots of masti. . . that is how dinner ended, without discussing about what they actually met for.
Arjun – now that dinner is over, can we please discuss my website?
Arohi – sure. Shoot!
Arjun – so they want this website.. the marriage stuff, more like wedding-shopping online, good deals, and all the little stuff, and I don't know where to even start from!!
Arohi – okay, I'll tell you what – go and sleep.
Arjun – I have a meeting tomorrow, what am I to do?
Arohi – I'll give you your proposal, and the whole file tomorrow morning. Don't worry.
Arjun – Arohi, you better. And if you don't, and you flop it, im going to KILL you.
Arohi – trust me..
Arjun – okay!! Good night arohi..
Arohi – good night arjun.. and dinner was good, thanks to me ;)
Arjun – whatever, bye!!
.
.
And so Arohi went home, switched on her laptop to prepare Arjun's proposal file stuff. She thought about how she would design stiff, and lot of other things, and her mind drifted to her own marriage-fantasy, and everywhere else where it shouldn't be. She didn't type a single letter. Amidst the fantasies, and butterflies in her stomach, she fell asleep.
Arjun – AROHIII !!!! wake up and gimme the file!!
Arohi – *in a sleepy tone*why are you shouting??
Arjun – because I have a meeting in half an hour, and I don't have my file!!
Arohi – so shout at someone else!
Arjun – you were supposed to prepare the file!!
Arohi – oh. Oh. Yeah.
Arjun – yesh oh-oh. Where is it??
Arohi – umm.. I –
Arjun – Don't temme you forgot, don't.
Arohi- and what if I said, I did?
Arjun – then arohi, I will be doomed, and you will be responsible.
Arohi – I'm so sorry, I mean –
Arjun – that wont help.
Arohi – lemme explain
Arjun – that wont help either. You know what, you're going to come with me, talk to the clients, and convince them. You will have to do that.
Arohi – but, my office?
Arjun –I dunno, you're coming, im going to pick you in 5. Don't have a bath, put nice clothes and tons of perfume!
.
.
.
5 minutes before the meeting –
Arohi – don't panic Arjun, I will get this.
Arjun – I'd rather not say a thing.
Arohi – u want things to go fine right?
Arjun – am I talking in Chinese?
Arohi – so deal then?
Arjun – whatever it takes.
Arohi – good, so if I get you this, you're going to get things straight with gauri.
Arjun – I have tried, but..
Arohi – you're going to get things straight with gauri, and im going to come with you.
Arjun – arohi,
Arohi – that's me.. and that's a deal.
Arjun – you're impossible.
Arohi – try me, now lets get in. and yeah, watch me ;)
Arjun – better get it right.
In the conference, Arohi totally nailed it. She convinced the client on her wedding ideas, and the website design ideas. Though she didn't have any file, and written stuff, she promised the client, that they would give them the entire prospectus, and every detail of the thing. And Arjun couldn't stop thanking her. That deal meant a lot to the company as they planned to start a new division for that alone.
So as it turned out, Arohi won the bet and off they went on a date – a threesome date, arjun, arohi and gauri.
Gauri was sitting there, and Arohi marched up straight to her.
Arohi- hi gauri, nice to meet you. I am Arohi..
Gauri – nice to meet you finally arohi.
Arohi – okay, so done with the pleasantries, now temme what the hell is wrong with you and arjun?
Gauri – we're fine.
Arohi – oh yeah. Don't gimme that.
Gauri – what?
Arohi – everything is fine shit. Im his best friend, so I know things are not fine. Now temme whats wrong?
Gauri – that is between us.
Arohi – not anymore.. common gauri, telling tomorrow, or today, it's the same thing.
Gauri – look, you wont understand.
Arohi – try me gauri.
Gauri – okay, arjun will you give us some privacy?
Arjun – okay, I'll go.
.
.
.
Arohi – so gauri, what is up?
Gauri – it's a long story. .
Arohi – all ears. . please you gotta do this for arjun!
Gauri – okay, so it all began during college. I was in love with Rajveer and . .
.
To sum it up, she was in love with rajveer during college, and they broke up during their final year – new ways to discover, and a whole new life. Gauri moved on with Arjun, the truth was tried to move on with Arjun. But Rajveer had come back with apologies and more. Their love rekindled, and gauri wanted to move back with rajveer. She just didn't know how to say it because Arjun would be broke.
Listening to Gauri's college love story, Arohi was reminded of her sweet love, back in college. How they would do everything together. The promises of being 'happy' and 'happily-ever-after'. She looked at gauri, she was lucky to get her sweetheart back, but at the same time, she missed hers, and it kindled the pain of her breakup with it.
Gauri – Arohi, are you listening?
Arohi – yes.. yeah.
Gauri – you will have to help me tell this to Arjun, I mean I hope you understand.
Arohi – I do, trust me I have been through it so yeah, I do.
Gauri – you have been through it??
Arohi – it's the past, so hey leave this to me, I'll talk to Arjun tonight.
Gauri – thanks Arohi.
.
.
Gauri left, and Arjun had been pestering her to tell him the problem. But looking at him, she didn't know how to say it, and break his heart. For she knew, what a heart break meant, and what came after that. But Arjun deserved to know and yet again the situation was the same, she faced years back. The only thing, she faced the heart break, and Shefali (Arohi's best friend from college) had conveyed that to her. Now it would be vice-versa.
How weird sometimes life could be? She had put on so much courage to forget all about it, but yet again Arjun's heart break reminded of hers.
She only wondered, how would she say this to Arjun, and how would he take it?
.
who broke Arohi's heart?
How will Arjun react?
Arjun-Arohi will they come closer?
