Flames of Love

Chapter 10 -Unsaid Words

Na keh sake wo
Na keh sake hum
Baatein to thi kehni bahut
Par himmat thi zara kam
Ab to na jane kaise hi ho
Iss khamoshi ka silsila khatam 🍂

Soon Aarohi came back to her senses and realised she had to go to Navya to help her. She moved from there and went towards the hall.

When she entered the conference hall. Navya quickly asked , " kaha reh gayi thi tum Aarohi mein tumhara wait kar rahi thi itne der se ".

Aarohi replied ," Wo na mujhe marketing department mein bula liya tha kisi kaam se,isliye late ho gayi " Navya said, "Acha , chalo abhi meri help kar do ye projector connect karne mein ".

Later they got engaged in completing their tasks and left from there to reach their respective desks to complete the rest of work.

Navya was sitting at an adjacent desk with Aarohi and typing something on her PC. Priya came to her desk and said ," Aarav sir ne message bhijwaya hai unki sab meetings 2 ghante postpone krwa do. Wo kahi bahar jaa rahe hai ".

Navya nodded and said ," Tum jao mein kara dungi reschedule meetings".
After hearing Aarav's name a different kind of glow came to Aarohi's face.

Aarohi was drinking water from the bottle and she asked Navya ," Waise tumhe kya lagta hai sir kaha jaa rahe honge".

Navya shrugged her shoulders and said ,"May be apni girlfriend ke saath lunch pe jaa rahe ho". Aarohi choked water on Navya's statement and started coughing.

Navya patted Aarohi's back and said , " Tum thik to ho na kya hua ". Aarohi replied ," Kuch nahi hua mein thik hu. Suno tum sir ki girlfriend ki baat kar rahi thi tumne dekhi hai wo ".

Navya said , " Mein to assume kar rahi thi ki unki girlfriend hongi. Waise bhi sir looks mein kafi handsome hai. Unki girlfriend to pakka hi hogi. Rest he knows. Mujhe ek saal ho gaye hai unke P.A. bane huye par unki personal life ka itna sa hint nahi hai. He prefers to keep things private i guess."

Aarohi took a deep breath and said , " Acha tum ye assume kar rahi thi ". Navya said ," haa par waise aisa hota tab bhi kya issue hai ".

Aarohi couldn't let her emotions flow out and with a heavy voice she replied ," Yes, everyone deserves love in their life". This time her eyes were not cooperating with her words.

All this didn't go unnoticed by Navya. She was thinking about asking her about it and then she stopped at the last moment thinking ,"I will talk to her along with proof ".

Before Navya could say anything. Aarohi said ," Mein na abhi aati hu ek important call karni hai " saying this she instantly got up and left from there.

She entered the washroom and found it solace she locked the door from inside.
Splashing cold water on her face she was recalling the words from Navya that left a suspicion about love life of Aarav.

Her mind ," Control Aarohi control you can't break out like this. Aisa jaruri thodi hai ki wo apni girlfriend se hi milne ja rahe hai. Aur agar jaa bhi rahe hai to kya tere pas koi right hai unhe rokne ka. Jab mujh mein apni feelings confess karne ki himmat nahi to unki personal life mein interfere to kis hi right se kar sakti ho. I need to have some patience. Till then I have to make sure no one gets to know about it."

Taking a deep breath again when she felt better , she came out of the washroom. No one will get even a single hint of what she had gone through moments before.

The brightest smiles carry the heaviest burdens.

Time skips......

Aarav was sitting in a cabin along with another young lady. She asked him ," So , how do you feel about Mr. Aarav". Aarav replied ," Miss Ruhanika ,I am completely okay".

Ruhanika replied, " Tumhe yahi jhoot nahi bolne hai mujhse. I am your psychologist. You should tell the truth at least to me. It is my request otherwise without your cooperation. We can't make it easier for you. I hope you are getting my point ".

This time Aarav's eyes were filled with emotions he said ," Kehne ko uss baat ko do saal beet chuke hai. Par meri zindagi wahi tham chuki hai. Wo baatein na mein aaj tak bhula hu or shayad kabhi bhul bhi na paau".

His mind was filled with flashbacks and some talks he never wanted to recall ," I hate you Aarav. You don't deserve any happiness. Jisko apna ego itna pyara ho wo koi rishta deserve nahi kar sakta".

Ruhanika asked ," You still have nightmares regarding the incident". Aarav replied ," It would only be possible if I get a proper sleep. I don't even remember the last time I slept properly. I am tired of all this. I want to move further but i just can't".

He said with a heavy voice ," Sometimes I feel like quitting everything ". Ruhanika passed a glass of water to him and said," Calm down , Mr. Singhania. I will definitely help you with all this when you cooperate with my suggestions."

Aarav replied ," You know what jab bhi mujhe lagta hai ki mujhe move on kar lena chahiye mera guilt mujhe aur buri tarah trap kar leta hai ki mein apni galti se aise nahi bhaag sakta ".

Ruhanika placed her hand on Aarav's hand. She said in a calm tone ," Dekho jo bhi past huya hai na tum usse badal sakte ho na mein par hum koshish kar sakte hai. Ki iska asar tumhare present par na pade".

Aarav said ," I don't think ye possible hai I am somehow habitual to all this ". Ruhanika replied , " Wahi to mein keh rahi hu ki tum khud aage badhna nahi chahte ho , tum khud apne aap ko hurt karna chahte ho , past grudges mein ".

Aarav said ," No there is nothing like that ". Ruhanika replied , " Agar aisa kuch nahi hai to meri ek baat mano apne aap ko boundaries mein na rakho. Naye logo se interact karo infact naye dost banao ".

Aarav replied ," I don't think I am ready right now for any new interaction". Ruhanika replied, "Agar tum ye soch rahe ho ki kisi din tumhara subconscious mind hi tum se kahega ki tumhe naya environment chahiye, tumhe khud se effort lagane padenge ".

Aarav replied , " I will give it a try. But you sure it will help." Ruhanika said ," It surely will. Ab agli meeting humari tab hi hogi jab tum naye friends bana chuke hoge. It should not be under pressure. I want you to voluntarily start afresh.Aisi life jeene ki koshish karo jaise tum pehle the wo purana Aarav Singhania ".

Aarav replied ," I can't give you a hundred percent guarantee over it but i will give my best efforts for it ". Ruhanika said , " Make sure ki jin bhi logo se tum interact karo wo ek dum stranger ho. Na to wo tumhari family ka part ho aur na hi tumhare past se related ho ".

Aarav replied ," How will I find such kind of people ". Ruhanika replied ," Mr. Singhania there are 7 billion people in the world and you say you won't get a single person. You will not get anything before you start searching".

Aarav replied with a little smile of hope on his face ," I think it is the time to start the search. Warna mere aage ke sessions conduct nahi ho paenge aapke sath jo mein miss nahi karta ".

Ruhanika replied ," Good luck for the hunt Mr. Singhania . I hope we will meet soon". Aarav said ," I will try my best to make it the earliest rest is up to luck ".

Ruhanika said ," It was nice meeting you". Aarav replied ," Same here". He left the cabin saying this. He moved towards his car in the parking area.

While driving back to the office a single thought occupied his mind completely , " How will he find the person Ruhanika was talking about ?".
