Arohi came into her room "Finally I got my compatible one. I don't love him but I like him alot. Hopefully is baar saab kuch achchese se ho jaaye without any problems" her thoughts are broken by a phone call she picked the phone and looked at caller id "ye chamgadar kyu itni raatko call kar raha hain?" She decided to pick the call
"Hello"
"Hi chipkali wo mujhe tumse kuch baat karni thi"
"Haan bolo chamgadar"

"But arohi"
"Paar waar kuch nahi Neil aur wese bhi mujhe kaal bohot kaam hain "

"Tum kal ratko ghar aa rahe ho na dinner pe?" Arohi asked. "Haan aa raha hu aur wese kal achanak se dinner ka plan kese kuch hain kya kal" Neil asked
"Wo toh tumhe kaal hi pata chalega" arohi replied. "Achcha thik hai bye"

"NEIL NEIL NEIL kyu the tum us raat mere sath. Ja hi nahi raha hain mere dimag se wo bat. Why did he made me so comfortable " Arohi spoke to herself and continued "sochna baand kardti hu uske baare mein warna mein pagal ho jaungi" she went to sleep
"Arohi Goenka why are you doing this to me. Ek baar toh thik se baat karlo mujhse. I want to know you more. I want to confess that I like you but tum ho ke baat hi nahi karna chahti" Neil said to Arohi's picture. "Jese bhi ho kal ratko toh mein tumse baat karke rahunga hi aur us Rishab ke baare mein bhi batana hain"

Another day starts everyone goes to their respective workplaces and completed their work now it's almost night. Whole Birla family came to Goenka's house and they greeted eachother (except harsh mahima and anand as they have work in hospital hospital)
"Abhi toh bata do kyaa surprise hain" akshu requested. "So surprise ye hain ki" kairav said. "I am getting married" Arohi added.
"WHAAAT"birla's screamed happily except one. Neil is shocked for him the world has stopped. The one he liked, he cared is getting married
"Kiske sath?" Akshu asked. "Rishab" Arohi said and everyone is very happy specially akshara. She was in guilt for whatever she did with Arohi but now her guilt is going. Her younger sister is marrying the one she likes
Everyone is congratulating the couple, hugging them, dancing. The environment is very happy but between all these chaos Neil is lost. Today he was about to disclose that there's something wrong with Rishab and now she's getting marry with him. How he will tell it to her? A tear dropped from his eye but he managed to hide it.Neil took his phone and message Arohi "I need to talk with you. Dining area mein ao"
Arohi reads the message and goes to Neil. "Bolo Neil" Arohi said. "Arohi why are you marrying him?" Neil asked. "Kya matlab" Arohi replied. "Matlab" Neil said wrapped his hand around her waist and pulls her closer to him. There's only a inch gap is between them. "Arohi" Neil said softly and Arohi is lost into his eyes. "Us ratko you were this close to me didn't you felt something? Ye kya hain hamare beech?"he asked
Arohi is still looking into his eyes. She saw love for her in his eyes first time. She had flashback of his both side. One whatever he said to her in haldi and another those moments when he cared for her made her comfortable. Many things are running in her mind and suddenly she remembered Rishab. The time she spend with him and the moment she said yes for the wedding.
"Hamare beech kuch bhi nahi hain Neil" she answered. His heartbroke. He loosen his grip and said "haan thik kaha tumne kuch bhi nahi hain" in a cold voice
