Another month had passed and Arnav's plasters were removed completely. His physiotherapy was still going on.
Arohi still visited him daily. She went to meet him but Chhaya told her that he was not at home at the moment.
"Kaha gye hai?"
(Where is he?)
"Hospital."
"Kyu?"
(Why?)
"Kuch final reports deni thi doctors ko aur kuch baat bhi krni thi usse."
(Some final reports were left and doctor wanted to talk to him.)
Arohi nodded and started helping Chhaya who taught her how to make Arnav's favourite Malia Kofta.
Arnav came home after an hour and immediately went to his room. Chhaya made his coffee and Arohi took it for him.
She closed the door behind her and smiled mischievously when she saw that he was in the washroom. She kept the coffee on the table and waited for him.
He came out and she immediately hugged him making him stumble back.
He balanced himself and round his arms around her. She kissed his chest and mumbled.
"Aapki coffee table par rakhi hai."
(Your coffee is on the table.)
He sat on the bed and took a sip of his coffee letting the drink cool his mind.
After finishing it he looked at her who was sitting with her head on his shoulder and going through her mails.
"I think we should cancel the wedding."
She looked at him confused.
"Matlab?"
(Means?)
"Matlab i think hame shaadi nhi krni chahiye."
(Means i think we should not get married.)
Arohi was confused. What had happened to him suddenly. Just yesterday he had said that he would soon talk about their wedding dates and now.
"Kya bol rhe hai Arnav? Kya hua?"
(What are you saying Arnav? What happened?)
"I don't think we are meant for each other. I think ye shaadi ka decision bhut rash tha."
(I think the marriage decision was very rash.)
He said avoiding her eye. She knew something was definitely wrong.
"Achha?"
(Really?)
She said mockingly which he didn't notice.
"Haan. I think that-"
(Yes.)
She cut him off by kissing him hard. She bit his lip and kept nibbling on it.
He pulled her closer and tried to deepened the kiss. She pulled back and asked.
"Ab bataiye kya baat hai?"
(Now tell me what is it?)
He sighed and started to tell her what the doctor had told him.
He was sitting in the doctor's cabin waiting for his reports.
"Good morning Mr. Malhotra."
"Good morning doctor."
"All your reports are fine. Just one thing i would suggest is to take some tests."
"But all of the tests are done."
"I am not talking about your treatment tests. Aapke accident ki wajah se your lower part was most affected. There is a possibility that the accident had left you impotent or sterile."
Arnav was shocked. Impotency was out of question he knew that.
"It's not necessary aisa ho but just to be on the safer side i suggest you to get tested. There is a 50-50 chance."
Arohi didn't know what to speak.
"There is a possibility that i am sterile Ruhi. Mai tumhari life kharab nhi kr skta."
(I don't want to spoil your life.)
She looked at him who had tears in his eyes. She cupped his face and said.
"Ek baat bataiye Arnav agar ye sab mere saath hota toh aap kya karte? Chhod dete mujhe? Ya agar aisa kuch hamari shaadi ke baad hota? Divorce de dete mujhe?"
(Tell me one thing Arnav if all this would have happened with me what would you do? Would you have left me? Or if something like this happened after our marriage? Would you have divorced me?)
Arnav was quiet. He joined their foreheads as a few tears slipped from his eyes.
"I love you Arnav. And honestly I don't care about this. Agar aisa hai bhi toh kya? We will adopt a child."
(So what if it is actually true?)
Arnav took her in his arms and kissed her so softly. He was lucky to have this girl.
"I am sorry. I love you so much."
She shook her head and hugged him.
**************************************
Arnav still was sceptical and didn't want to proceed further without telling her family the truth.
And boy he was not expecting the reaction.
"Toh kya hua? Confirm nhi hai na. Aur agar ho bhi toh Aru doesn't mind then who are we to object?"
(So what? It is not confirm right. And what if it is, if Aru has not problem who are we to object?)
Devesh had shrugged it off. Arnav didn't know why but he got so emotional that he hugged Devesh who smiled and patted his back.
**************************************
Since Arnav too was fine now they decided to fix the wedding dates.
Two dates were given. One was in 15 days and the other was in three months.
No one wanted to wait so long and since all the preparations were already done they fixed the date in 15 days.
Everyone again started doing the necessary arrangements. Venue was booked. Caterers were taken care of.
Decorations were being decided. And many more things.
Arnav decided not to get the test done and let the topic go. His love, his Ruhi was with him. He didn't want anything else.
Though his heart ached a little when he saw Adi with Hridhaan and thought that he might not be able to enjoy the same in future.
But one look at Arohi's smiling face and he would forget everything and just enjoy everything around.
**************************************
The days went smoothly much to everyone's relief and tomorrow is their engagement.
Everyone was going to the venue. Arohi's bags were already sent to Arnav's house.
She was looking at her room feeling very emotional.
"Bhu!"
She heard Hridhaan's cute voice calling her and turned to find all her cousins standing there.
She hugged Adi hiding her face in his chest and he caressed her head as she cried.
"Shh! Bas princess! Itna nhi rote!"
(Stop! Don't cry so much!)
She slowly stopped but still sniffled.
She took her bags and started moving out. They loaded their luggage in the cars and started off for the venue.
When they reached Arnav and his family were already there. Ahana and Reyansh reached half an hour later.
They had their dinner and everyone retired to their room early since the next few days were going to be very hectic.
But when do the kids listen. They gathered in one room and played games and talked till 3 in the night.
Arohi slumped back thinking about everything. She was getting married to the man she loved.
Arnav too was in his room thinking about her when he recalled a quote he read somewhere.
Pata nhi kaisa ehsaas hai ye Jab se tum mile ho Sab achha lagne laga hai
He slept with a smile on his face thinking about the next few days. ************************************** Please do leave your comments.
