"You are being an Asshole Arush" Aarchi complained to Arush as she wrapped up her day.

"So I've been told that before too" Arush said arranging the snacks he asked Ridhima for in a suitcase.

"I don't need a babysitter" She looked at her phone with a frown aware that he won't be able to see it.

"First of all you force me to go to this camp, snatch my opportunity to watch you bawl your eyes out and now you've got a problem with what I do. Great!" Arush said being overly dramatic making Aarchi sigh in defeat.

"You both brothers have chosen the wrong profession. You both should have gone for drama, atleast we won't have to justify your dramatic actions and can blame it on your professional needs" She said crossing her arms at her chest glaring at the phone that was on speaker.

"If I didn't know better I'd take that as an offence" Arush joked with her annoying her.

"You all are treating me as if I went through something major" She sat on a chair puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Its not everyday you break your heart Ari. Heart break phase ki baat kuch aur hoti hai, I am not saying that you don't look good in your 'I'm In love stage' but this one hits different" He sat down on the bed and explained to her.

"Are you a secret writer or something of the sort? Why are talking so poetically with me?" Aarchi asked rolling her eyes. She wrapped up her daily earlier than usual wanting to see off Aarush before he left. She remembered that Vihaan didn't have a car so asked at the reception to make a call to him since she didn't have his number.

"Hello" Vihaan replied in a professional manner.

"Uhh hey. Aarchi this side. I wanted to see off Arush before he left so I am leaving now, whenever you are ready give me a call 20 minutes before, I'll come pick you up" She whispered into the phone not wanting anyone to hear her conversation.

"Don't leave yet, I was just wrapping my things too. Give me 10 more minutes" Vihaan said removing the stethoscope from around his neck and streching his neck.

"Great... I'll be by the car" She replied. He hummed and she kept the call and walked to her car. She leaned onto the car and was rummaging through her purse when she felt something soft on her fingertips.

She pulled it out and saw it was the red rose which Gautam had given her just a day back. Her eyes whelmed with emotions and a tear slid down her cheek remembering all those moments. Before she could wipe the tear from her cheek she felt a hand wiping it.

"Hayee... Itni soni ankhiyan hai te tu avein ro ro ke phula deni hai" Vihaan stood infront of her and wiped away her tear.

"Huh?" Aarchi ran her hand over her cheek and rubbed her eyes so there was no trace of her crying.

"You have such beautiful eyes but you make them red and puffy by crying so much" Vihaan translated for her. She nodded and looked down at the rose.

"Is it the one he gave you yesterday?" Vihaan asked taking the rose from her hand which instantly made her fight for it.

"Then there you go" He returned her the rose but also handed her a lighter in the other hand. She looked at him confused.

"Burn it" He said in no-nonsense tone. She tried to hand him back the lighter but he held her hand firmly.

"Ari!" He closed her fingers around the lighter and looked at her with hope.

"I... Uggh. Stop looking at me like that" She said hitting his chest playfully.

"You can do this... Go...Go" Vihaan cheered her as she flicked open the cigarette lighter and waited for the flame. She turned to Vihaan when there was no flame for a long time. He helped her with the flame and continued cheering her. Aarchi took a deep breathe and set the flower on fire.

She stayed until the whole flower turned into ashes just like her love for Gautam turned into ashes when she heard him say that he couldn't move from his ex-love.

"It's over Ari" Vihaan picked the stem of the flower from her hand so she doesn't get burned and threw it on the floor.

"Feeling better?" He asked shaking her slightly. Aarchi didn't say anything and just nodded her head before slipping into the driver's seat of the car. Vihaan didn't initiate a conversation with her knowing it was something deep for her on what she did earlier. 

Soon they reached the Malhotra Mansion to see her parents along with Arush and his parents at the entrance bidding him farewell. She quickly stopped at the entrance and gave her keys to a valet and stood infront of Arush.

"Hiii" Aarchi hugged Arush tightly before he even saw her and wished her. Arush looked up at Vihaan questioningly hugging Aarchi back and rubbing his hand on her head. Vihaan signed Arush not to worry.

"I can skip this one Ari" Arush said noticing she still wasn't ready to leave him. Hearing his words, Aarchi pulled herself together and looked at him angrily. Aarchi hit his head shaking her head.

"Ranoo" Arush looked at her and said in a heavy voice.

"What we?" Aarchi frowned at Arush's words not understanding the context. Arush clicked his fingers asking her to think. Her eyes widened in realization and Aarchi pulled her scarf over her head and pretended to a be a village girl who was holding her tears back. She turned her back towards him.

"Listen Rano" Arush placed his hand on her shoulder. Ridhima and Kaira covered their mouths to stop from laughing.

"We what we?" Aarchi looked away from him, holding the duppata in a way that hid her face.

"I promise you Rano, I will come back soon Rano" Arush turned Aarchi around so he could see her.

"Panchi te pardesi...I mean birds and passengers are never back. Weh you are a great liar I donut believe you" She said covering her face with the muffler as she fake cried. Rishav and Veer looked at Arush and Aarchi and prayed about all those lives that believed in these two and placed their hopes in them that they will be the cure to their disease.

"Kipi speakni ae Rano.Just you shut up" Arush said wiping his fake, non-existent tears. 

"Weh tu aap Shut up!" Aarchi turned around angrily and spoke. Vihaan looked at the two with boredom and rolled his eyes at their over acting.

Arush pulled Aarchi into a hug and kissed her head as she pulled him down to her level and kissed his cheek. Rishav frowned at the idea of Aarchi kissing Arush while Veer looked at Rishav with a smirk annoying him even more.

"Hogaya good bye" Rishav pulled Aarchi away from Arush not liking even a bit that Arush kept kissing Aarchi back.

"He's my bestfriend papa" Aarchi looked at Rishav complainingly.

"So? Bastard is enjoying those kisses" Rishav glared at Arush who flew a flying kiss to Aarchi just to annoy Rishav further. Aarchi blew back kisses making Rishav hide her behind him.

"Papa" Aarchi looked at Rishav with a frown.

"You pervert stop eyeing her and leave before you miss the bus" Vihaan sided with Rishav and hugged his younger brother. Rishav nodded at Vihaan in appreciation who nodded back emotionlessly.

"Just say you are jealous of me bhaiya" Arush said hugging back Vihaan.

"You really think I'd be jealous of you?" Vihaan flexed his muscles and compared them to him playfully.

"You will be of me one day" Arush said rolling his eyes.

"We shall see" Vihaan said pushing Arush to go.

"You are seeing this ma. Your elder son is throwing me out of this house by pushing me. You won't say anything against this ill treatment against your sweet, younger child?" Arush said looking at Ridhima as if Vihaan was ousting Arush for forever.

"Meri taraf se do thake aur maar" Rishav said to Vihaan. Aarchi hit Rishav's hand and went to Arush's escape.

"Aye mister, you don't get to oust my bestfriend from his own house" Aarchi pointed her index finger at Vihaan.

"Only she loves" Arush kept his crying face on her shoulder. Vihaan looked at her with a challenge.

"Or else what?" He asked crossing his hands at his chest.

"Or else nothing. I was just saying that only I can push him out of his own house" Aarchi turned around to Arush with a cheeky smile and pushed him into the car as Arush looked at her with betrayal.

"Hey Prabhu, hey hari ram krishna janganatham premanand, yeh kya hua?" Arush said shocked and holding Aarchi's hand tightly.

"Oye overackting ki dukaan, chal nikal le yaha se" Vihaan said bending down onto the car's window.

"Have fun and be safe" Aarchi wished him with a wide smile.

"You too" Arush kissed her hand and waved at her. He waved at everyone with a smile who did the same for him.

"Chale?" Ridhima asked once the car was out of sight. 

"Chalo" Aarchi said copying Deepika Padukone from Chennai Express. Kaira hit Aarchi's head who pouted and walked inside.

"I'll just change and come" Vihaan said with a smile as everyone nodded.

"You really have to wear kurtis beta?" Veer asked not liking to see the young girl who played in his garden grow up so soon.

"Yupp.I can't really wear frocks or t-shirts when I am work na" Aarchi said looking for an Apple iPhone charger.

"That's unfortunate" Veer said with a sad face. Aarchi shook her head smiling.

"So? Why are we meeting up today when we just met yesterday?" She asked turning around after plugging in her phone for charge.

"Because all the food I made yesterday would go to waste because you didn't eat anything yesterday" Ridhima said sternly making Aarchi pout.

"Hey not my fault. A girl just had her heart broken, hunger wasn't much on her priority list" Aarchi said placing her hands over Ridhiman's shoulder who hit her hands. Aarchi removed her hands from her, surrending to her.

"Today it shall be on your priority list then" Ridhima said clapping her hands and asking for snacks to be served. Before the food was in her sight, the smell hit her as she took a deep breathe and smiled widely.

"Hara bhara kebab, my favourite" She kissed Ridhima's cheek and picked a plate from the tray along with some chutney and dived right into it.

"Where's Vihaan?" Veer stood up to get up and look for Vihaan when Aarchi stopped him and said she'll go look for him.

"Room?" She asked holding the plate with him and took some chutney in her plate and stood up.

"The floor on top of Arush's. The whole of it is his" Veer said with a smile as he got engaged in talks with the rest.  Aarchi placed in some more hara bhara kebabs in her plate as she set out on the hunt for Vihaan. She reached to Vihaan's floor and screamed his name, enjoying the food.

"Vihaaannnn" She looked around to see hundreds of rooms on each side and wondered where to begin.

"Let's start from the last one" She said turning to her right and walked to the last room in the alley. She opened it wide and screamed for him but seeing no reaction she closed the door and reached for the next one. 

She opened to see a room lit with the brightness of the setting sun.

She couldn't help but enter the room and admire it. She placed the plate on the counter beside the door and walked to the windows and the balcony right behind the door. Out of curiosity she opened the balcony and stepped out to see the magnificent view of a garden with multiple ponds giving an aesthetic look to the whole garden.

"Wow!" She muttered seeing the garden when she felt a cold blade touching the lower back. She turned around shocked just to enter another shock.

"FUCK!" She held her hands to her eyes as Vihaan looked at her with a smirk.

"Relax gurl" Vihaan said chuckling and turning around to enter the room. 

"How do I relax when you are naked?" She complained closing her eyes tightly.

"I am not actually naked. I have the towel on me" He said laughing as he wore a t-shirt.

"That's still naked" She seethed in anger at hearing him laugh at her.

"Haven't you seen Arush like this?" He asked as a bitter feeling settled in his heart.

"Ofcourse not! He is my friend not anything else" She said angrily wishing to turn around desperately.

"So you have seen other men naked" He said taking his chances as he wore the sweatpants.

"No! That's just so... not appropriate. Are you dressed?" She asked turning around but not removing her hand from her eyes. Vihaan noticed the plate of hara bhara kebab and took it and started eating from it.

"Nope, I am still wondering what to wear" Vihaan said in the mood to tease her.

"Huh!!! Who takes so much time to choose an outfit?" She asked angrily and started taking slow steps towards the room. 

"I take. I need to impress people so I need to wear the best outfit"

"Who are you impressing here? Walls?" She was going to hit her foot when he called her out and asked her to take a step up. He guided her to come stand infront of her as he finished all her food.

"I am dressed" He whispered in her ear and pulled her hands down, placing the empty plate there. 

"Open your eyes Princess Ranawat" He started taking slow steps towards the entrance with a huge smile. Aarchi opened her eyes and looked at him dressed and then at the plate he placed in her hands.

"You finished them all?" She looked at the plate shocked.

"They were tasty" He said smirking.

"You are so dead" She kept the plate aside and ran after him as he ran away from her.
