"Where do broken hearts go?
Back to their best friends."

Arpita was sitting at the living room when she heard the bell rings. She get up and opened the door and became stunned to saw Randhir in front of her.

"Ron tum?" Arpita asked shockingly when he kept mum.

"Koi kaam tha?" She asked again.

"Kyu bina kisi kaam ke main yeha nehi aah sakta, yeah phir humara rishta itna formal ho geya hain ke aab mujhe inform karke aana padega?" Randhir asked sternly.

"But you choose Sanyukta over me so aab humara rishta toh formal ho hi geya hain na Ron!" Arpita said when Randhir became froze for a moment.

"Okay phir toh mujhe chalna chahiye I guess. You know what Arpi main aaj tak yehi samajhta raha ke chahe puri duniya mera saath chhod de lekin tum mera saath kabhi nehi chhodogi but I guess I was wrong." He gave a most heart broken smile and about to go when Arpita hold his hand.

"Bhale hi saara duniya tumhara saath chhod de Ron but main kabhi nehi chhod sakti, duniya chhod sakti hu but tumhe nehi." Arpita said holding his hand when Randhir's face became brighten.

"Ron keya baat hain itna low kyu sound kar rahe ho, kuch huya hain keya?" She asked curiously after Randhir settled down on the couch but he kept mum.

"Breakfast kiya?" She asked again when Randhir choose to keep mum again.

"Okay main kuch order karti hu." She said and about to go when Randhir hold her hand thus she looked at him.

"Do you have some time for me Arpi then please stay with me." He said slowly.

"You are talking about time Ron I have my whole life for you." She said in mind.

"But breakfast?" Arpita asked worriedly.

"I don't need it I need your time, do you give me that otherwise I'll leave." Randhir said sternly when Arpita nodded and sat down beside him.

"What happened Ron keya aunty ne tumhe phir se data hain yeah phir uncle ne?" Arpita asked softly kept a hand on his shoulder.

"Iss mein neya keya hain Arpi, wo dono toh humesha se hi mujhe useless samajhte hain. Mom ke liye main immature hu aur dad ke liye worthless. You know what Arpi mujhe kabhi kabhi aaisa lagta hain that am an adopted child of Shekhawat's!" He gulped hard.

"No Ron aaisa nehi hain, you are the best. Aagar uncle ki legacy ko koi aage bada sakta hain toh wo sirf tum ho, Rajveer bhai yeah phir Parth nehi." Arpita said confidently.

"Aaisa tum samajhti ho Arpi, gharwale nehi. Unke liye toh main ek khota sikka hu jo unke reputation ko badbad kar dega." He said curtly.

"Wo tumhe thik se jante hi kaha hain Ron! Kisi ko janne ke liye uske saath rahena padta hain, waqt dena padta hain use. But uncle aur aunty ke pass tumhare liye toh time kabhi tha hi nehi. They invest all their precious time for your siblings and not for you. Okay chalo aagar wo vi maan le then the question is who is Parth jiske liye aunty ne tumhe ignore kiya? Jo pyar, jo care, jo waqt aunty ko tumhe dena chahiye tha wo unhone uss Parth ko diya! Why?" Arpita said became offended.

"Humesha sirf Parth Parth Parth! Parth yeh, Parth wo but tum kitna kabil ho yeh kisine kabhi dekha hi nehi aur na kabhi dekhne ki kousish ki. I just hate that Parth." Arpita said angrily.

"No Arpi iss mein Parth ki koi galti nehi hain, Parth thoda weak tha so mom has to gave extra care to him. But the thing is unhone mere hisse ka pyar vi Parth ko de diya! Dad ke liye bhai sab kuch hain aur mom ke liye Parth sab kuch, toh phir mere liye koyn hain? Koi nehi!" Randhir gulped hard.
