Promises!!

Aarohi couldn't sleep the whole night, and even when her sister-in-law enquired about her late arrival, she didn't say anything much in explanation! She was too glad to even let out what she was feeling! And the fact that she felt too much! She wasn't sleeping even when it was sunrise! She just sat near the window, looking out the night sky the whole night, while now her amber gaze welcomed the sunrise! And the entire time she kept recalling what had happened the yesterday night! Just in two weeks, her life took a turn which she never expected! Deep! The one she didn't even know much about but felt like she knew everything! Felt like she belongs to him! How could it be!

And for a moment, she thought of him not actually reaching out her that day, the very first day he saw her! And her considering not to consider him, a week ago! If that was how it was, she couldn't get to meet the man of her life! Now to think, it really was fate! Even to be considered as fated, it felt too early, and just so, she wished it to last forever! She needed no one to spoil this dream life of her which came true!

Her hand holding the button of his, the day he exchanged when they had their third date! Treasuring every moment she went through yesterday, the moment they exchanged glances at the stage, whose meanings only they could know, and when he asked her out for a dance! When he snuck out of the dance floor along with her, and the moment which she couldn't dare to forget! Proposal! It still felt unbelievable to have him propose her and even more unbelievable to have herself accept it! And the precious moment they shared, their first kiss!

Everything felt surreal, even having his parent's welcoming, as much as him and his sister, Tara!

Deep and she have had a lot of talk with Mr&Mrs.Nethin, the couple showed interest in her as much as she did! The moment when suddenly Mr.Nethin took an excuse, leaving his wife to continue the speak, she got even more closer to Rhys Nethin! She actually had noticed the curiosity in Deep's eyes about his father leaving the conversation so suddenly, but she knew, he didn't give much attention to it!

Aarohi recalled the conversation they shared after his mother got busy with the other women who came to greet her! He took her back to the garden, to send her off but ended up spending time!

***********

They both walked in silence which began to eat them up slowly, and that was when Aarohi decided to break it off!

"What made you reach me out?!" she asked, making him chuckle!

"Aren't you asking it too early?!" Deep teased!

Aarohi smiled, "Say it!"

Deep breathed, "Because I know! You were my muse!" he said with a smile as if he was proud!

Aarohi turned to look at him, "And you will forever be my muse! I can assure it!" he said again with a chuckle!

Her smile widened!

"And what made you accept me?" it was his turn now!

She looked away, her hands behind, "Me?"

"At first, it was me considering giving you a chance cause it seemed no wrong to me!"

Deep's smile remained but brows furrowed!

"But later on. I felt like you belong to me!"

She turned again, "Only me!"

He was too surprised to even speak as her gaze held his!

"Whether I believe or not! Nothing I have today is my own! My parents whom I lost, the family I have! They are affectionate, caring! But not what all belongs to me, even the skills I have, it is because of them! I owe my family a lot but don't own them!" she admitted!

"But you! You are different! I feel like I completely own you!"

He felt like she for the first time opened up with him, and yet, he again found himself lost at words! He was right, she forever will be his muse!

"And what if you have to lose me in future?!" he asked, blankly!

Aarohi smiled faintly, "I never except a day to come when you wouldn't be my beside! And if it happens!" her words got stuck! She sighed, "I might go insane!!"

Deep stared her in silence before smiling with all his heart, her love towards him completely was visible in her eyes! He surprising her, stepped closer planting a kiss on her forehead!

Aarohi smiled, "What was this for now?" she asked once he stepped back!

"You don't need reasons to compliment adorable things in an adorable way!"

Aarohi was taken aback before she chuckled!

But Deep was being honest! She was adorable! Not just by looks! In every way!! Whenever he doubted himself and their relation, she assured him, in a supporting way, making everything clear for them!

"Well never make me go insane!!" she warned, asking him to stay beside forever!

Deep smiled, leaning forward, resting hands on her shoulder, his forehead colliding hers, "You scare me!" he said closing his eyes!

Aarohi closed her eyes as well, "And what scares me is the thought that someone might see us! Our this pose wouldn't quite be good looking on the front page!!"

Deep's smile widened, "What if I don't care?"

"There's no reason for me to care then!!"

"Good!!" he praised with a wide smile, before leaning closer giving her a quick kiss!

**********

Aarohi kept holding that button until when Soumya entered in after a knock which she didn't realise to happen, to wake her up! Little did the woman know that she haven't slept the whole night!

"What you got up early?" Soumya asked surprised!

Aarohi smiled, "Are you heading for hospital early again?!"

She bobbed her head, "I have a case to deal with! I have prepared the breakfast, make sure your brother has it!"

Aarohi frowned, "Then what about me?!"

"Clear me one thing! Will you stop if I deny you?"

Aarohi shook her head with a widened smile, "In your dreams!"

"Yeah, ask me questions in dream as well!" Soumya chuckled before leaving her alone!

Aarohi with a smile went to take a bath, so that she could join her brother for breakfast as she knew, he was an early person!

************

"Come in!" said Tara!

And soon Arshad came in, not surprising them anymore!

"Goodmorning!" he greeted!

"Goodmorning uncle!" Tara smiled, Aryan just gave out a smile to the man!

"I came by yesterday night, to check on you! But you seemed unwell!" Arshad began, before looking at Aryan, "Seems like you took a good care of her, she seems fine now!"

Aryan forced his almost fading smile to stay back, "I just did my duty!" he said formally, but was poor enough to recieve a glance from her which he noticed through the corner of his eyes! Did he just say anything wrong or strange?!

Arshad laughed out of blue which made them focus on him again, "Well can we share a little talk Aryan?"

It came by surprise, even the man calling him by his name, which happened for the first time! Having himself too much surprised, he looked at her as if asking her for aid though there didn't seem any danger!

Tara was surprised as well, she exchanged a look with him before turning her focus towards her uncle!

"Something serious?!" she asked after all, that's what all she could think of!

Arshad pretended to think leaning forward, his hands behind, "Nothing serious!" he said in a teasing way, making Tara roll her eyes, trying to make her smile!

The man then looked at Aryan who now after glaring back, looked at Tara, "I will be back in a minute!" he assured her with a smile!

Tara blinked while nodding with a smile! Arshad with a heartful smile, said, "Take care!" before he left the room and Aryan followed him out!

Tara leaned back with a sigh!

*********

"Is there anything important Mr.Nethin?" asked Aryan!

Arshad shook his head, "I thought you were only taking care of her, but seems like you even are training her self defence!"

Aryan frowned, the man smiled waving his hand, "I see it's not much surprising for you to break the man's arms, but it's indeed surprising for me to see her give the man sprain in neck!"

Aryan chuckled, "She is talented!" he commented!

"Of course!!" the man agreed with a chuckle, "Both the men are under treatment at present, I will inform you both if I get to know anything! And I don't know when will you head for your trip considering the recent incidents, but I want you to take good care of her and let her spend her time in peace!" he said with seriousness!

Aryan nodded, "Does she has any enemy?"

Arshad shook his head with a shrug, "She might be cold but having enemies....she knew better than that!"

"Sudden incidents are indeed bothersome!!" he shook his head once again!

"Tara enquired in her own way, and raised a doubt of it being business related! She suggested me to keep an eye on everyone!"

As the man explained, Aryan then came to know that the woman, all this days, hadn't only tried to cope up with her problems along with supporting him and his, but also tried to take care of the other problems, which needed to!!

Arshad and Aryan sighed at once. "I can't share much with anyone! My wife is sensitive and Tara said me not to leak this to Deep! So, I only have you to rest assure on!"

Aryan smiled faintly, "You can trust me!!"

Arshad smiled as well, "Well I need to learn tricks from you!" he said making the man frown again!

"Like?" asked Aryan with doubtful eyes!

"Tara isn't angry anymore! That does make me wonder how!!"

Aryan finally smiled without force, "If it isn't anything to wonder about, then it isn't Tara we are talking about!!"

Arshad chuckled, "Well I gotta go! Do inform about when you'll be leaving!"

Aryan gave a nod, and with that the man left and he went back to the room!

"What secrets were shared?!" asked Tara rolling her eyes, ignoring to glare at him!

"Nothing serious! He assured that he would be informing us about anything he gets to know! He said you to not to worry much and enjoy your trip!"

Tara nodded then sighed, now looking down the plain white sheets, "It might be hard for him! I try hard not to make it hard for him!"

"Taking care of you is, but caring for you isn't that hard!" Aryan said!

"He is caring for you!!" a smile took over his face which made her stare him in silence again!

Tara chuckled! "I meant he is being all alone to handle things and I am not being much useful!"

Aryan smiled taking a seat beside her, "Then it might really be hard for him!" he said making her look up at him!

"Why don't you just take off some burden by taking a good care of yourself!"

Tara smiled, "I know you'll help me in that!!"

Aryan's smile widened but Tara sighed!

"He can't bother his wife saying out everything as she doesn't even know about my secret!! And I denied him to inform anything to Deep! It's probably me who is making it hard for him!!"

Aryan shook his head, no matter what he says, this woman will just keep thinking what she wants to! So instead forcing her to think otherwise he asked something else, "Why do you want to hide it from Deep?"

Tara breathed, "He might not show it but he is too sensitive! Everything that's happening now would bother him! And yeah, I don't want to bother someone who just declared his love to his family! He needs to enjoy his life now!" Tara said with a nod!

Aryan's brows raised, "Declared love?!"

"Ah!" Tara exclaimed, "You missed it! He introduced Aarohi to his family, and manly declared that she is the woman he loves!!" Tara almost said dramatically while trying to imitate her brother! Well she did think he was being dramatical that night!

While Aryan brows raised even more, remembering the lady whom Deep had asked for a dance, last night So that was it?! "He's daring!!" he admitted!

Tara looked up at him, without leaving his gaze for a second before looking down with a faint smile! "Yeah, he is! Not everyone is daring to confess!"

Her sudden change in voice made him look at her finding that faint smile on her face, and suddenly her words made him remember her confession she did while he was asleep!

"Some suffer feeling but not being able to express!"

"And why is that?" he asked making her chuckle with that faint smile of hers!

"Because expressing is not just their thing!!"

Aryan nodded, "And what's the cure?!"

Tara was silent for a moment before she breathed, "The only cure is" she looked up staring ahead, "Feeling for someone" now her gaze travelled to his which was fixed on her, "Who can speak through silence!!"
