'Sumedh...sumedh...' Aarushi murmured. Sumedh held her hands tightly. He was not able to see his girl being in this condition.
'Haan main hi hu aaru' Sumedh replied.
'Sumedh...I am sorry...I am really sorryy!!' Aarushi said.
'Aarushi..abhi yeh baat krne ka time nhi hai. Tum aaram karo aur jab thik ho jaogi tab baat krenge' Sumedh said.
'Nahi sumedh!! You need to know many things!!' Aarushi said.
'But..' Before he could say aarushi interrupted.
'Just listen to me sumedh!!' Aarushi said. Sumedh hummed.

A nurse came to devaki & handed her some of the belongings of aarushi. Devaki took it & while keeping it in a bag something fell from her hand.
'Aree...yeh kya hai?' Devaki said & bent down to pick it up. It was s photo. Devaki widened her eyes. It was of sara, varun, sunedh & riya.
'Yeh iske paas kaha se aaya!!' Devaki said. She kept that photo with her silently, confirming that no one sees her.
'Kya hai yeh?' Sara came from behind. Devaki became alert.
'Aree..woh..nurse ne kuch saaman diya hai jo aarushi ke paas se mila hai' Devaki said.
'Ohh..thik hai. Dev yeh bta tujhe kya lgta hai ki aarushi ne aisa kyu kiya hoga?' Sara asked.
'Pta nahi yaar..mujhe bhi samjh nahi aa raha hai, bas itna pta hai mujhe ki aaru kabhi bhi itnq ghatiya step nahi le sakti hai. Pta nahi kyu kiya phir isne aisa' Devaki said.
'Mujhe bhi yakeen toh bilkul nahi ho raha hai. Ek baar sumedh usse baat krke aaye, phir pta chlega ki kya hua hai' Sara said. Devaki hummed.
'Btw tune ek chiz notice kiya ki rohan aajkal kuch ajib sa behave krta hai, like dara dara hua sa. Kuch toh baat hai jo woh chhupa raha hai. Aur haan yeh rohit, isko kya interest aa raha hai jo yaha aa gya hai' Devaki said checking out rohit from head to toe.
'Rohit ko toh chhod. Woh kisi aur kaam se yaha aaya tha' sara lied. 'Aur rohan ka toh mujhe bhi gadbad lag raha hai' sara said.

'Mujhe yeh btao ki riya kaun hai?' Aarushi asked. Sumedh was shocked that how aarushi came to know about her.
'Kaun riya?' He asked & looked away.
'Tujhe pta hai main kis riya ki baat kar rahi hu' Aarushi said.
'Kya karna hai yaar usse. Aur tujhe kaha se pta chala iske baare mei!?' Sumedh asked.
'Sumedh answer me!!' Aarushi said. Sumedh sighed.
'Riya Malhotra, varun malhotra ki behen hai' sumedh said.
'Ohkk!! Toh terese aur sara se kya relation hai uska' aarushi asked.
'Har chiz btana jaruri nahi hota hai aaru!!' Sumedh said.
'Jaruri hai...mujhe sab pta hai ki tumlog kyu kuch jyada hi chidhte the varun se aur sara kyu darti thi usse. Sab pta hai mujhe' aarushi said. Sumedh was silent. Suddenly aarushi started breathing heavily.
'Doctor...doctorr!!!' Sumedh shouted. Doctor came in & put the oxygen mask. After a while aarushi was feeling normal.
'Aap bhi abhi bahar chalie, patient ko aaram karne ki jarurat hai, inhe sar pe thidi jyada chot lagi hai toh jyada stress lena acha nahi hoga' doctor said. Sumedh nodded & was about to leave when aarushi held his hand. Sumedh looked towards doctor.
'Jyada baat nahi kijiega' Doctor smiled & went. Sumedh again sat there.
'Aarushi ab sab past ki baat ho gai hai. Kyu kuredna pada inn baato ko!!' Sumedh said. Aarushi shook his head. She took out the oxygen mask.
'Aree pagal ho kya!! Phir problem ho gyi toh. Chal chup chap se laga ise' sumedh said.
'Aree...abhi main thik hu thodi' aarushi said.
'Pehle yeh bol tune yeh harqat kaise kar li??! Sumedh asked.
'Main abhi thik hu na..bas!! Kyu ki kya ki...yeh sab baad mei!!' Aarushi said.'Aur Tu jis past ki baat kr raha hai na wohi past humara present bigaad raha hai!!' Aarushi continued.
'Kya hol rahi hai tu aaru!!' Sunedh said.
