Her Past

Arushi dropped her uncle in his place. She forced him to visit the hospital but he refused saying that he will be alright. Her friend Neha heard what had happened and thanked her. Also Neha told her father to not to go out alone as he's already not feeling good.

"Pick Pick Pick it up… Pick Pick Pick it up" her cell rang. On seeing the display Arushi stood with a jerk. "Neha, I must go now, You know my Aunty, right" saying this she started her scooty without answering that call. Neha nodded with a smile while Arushi has started to zoom away.

When Arushi reached home, Madhu Aunty was waiting for her.

"Hey Arushi, What took you so long" she started to scold her instantly.

Without replying her, Arushi hit her scooty's stand and after picking the vegetable cover she ran inside.

"Hey sanka devi, what did you think of yourself?" Keeping her hand on her forehead she followed Arushi.

(Sanka devi is one of her nick name given by her Aunty… which means trouble maker)

There Jia was watching a show. On seeing Arushi, she stood up.

Jia is Arushi's close friend. They did their college together. Now, they also working together in PS Designs. Jia's parents are in Lucknow. So from college she's staying with Arushi and her Aunty.

" Hey Arushi, Where were you yaar?" Jia questioned her with concern.

(Yaar means addressing a close friend)

" Jia, give me a minute" saying this Arushi took a deep breath and at the same time Aunty has reached them.

"Hey Arushi, Why didn't you attend my call" Aunty seemed very angry.

Then Arushi made them to sit on the sofa and explained everything what had happened in the market with a visual effect. When she has ended, Jia's jaw hung open while our Aunty kept her hand on her head and said "Oh god, this girl is clearly making me insane, wherever she goes she's coming back with troubles"

"Aunty, I thought, you would be proud of me" she pouted with a puppy face.

"Arushi, you are really something yaar" Jia tapped her shoulder gently with a smile.

Arushi smiled and looked at her Aunty. Her smile faded and asked "What Aunty, was I wrong, please tell me" as her Aunty was clearly upset.

On seeing her, Madhu cupped Arushi's face with tears.

"No, you are always right my sanka devi" her Aunty smiled at her with tears which then slowly faded.

"What happened Aunty" Arushi touched her hands which were cupping her cheeks.

"Am worried about that man, they are rich and they are capable of doing anything that stands as an obstacle to them" Madhu said seriously and removed her hands from Arushi's face.

"Oh Aunty, don't worry, I won't see him again" she winked at her playfully.

"Hey Arushi, Aunty is right yaar" Jia pointed out.

"No problem yaar, even if I met him, then my boss is there to help me. He's the kindest person that I ever met" saying this she thought of her boss, but all of a sudden her thoughts wandered to that one particular handsome face and she became furious instantly.

She then noticed that Madhu was still upset. So to cheer her up, Arushi enacted like her which made them to laugh. Knowing that she maybe getting nice gentle beatings from her Aunty, she ran and hid behind Jia. As expected her Aunty came to beat her for being so naughty. Arushi ran here and there to escape from her. Finally Aunty gave up and settled down with heavy pantings.

"This girl is really driving me crazy, she makes me to chase at her like this even in this age" with faking anger Madhu uttered this. Slowly Arushi came and sat beside her. Then she held her shoulders and said "What to do Aunty, You are my sweetest Aunt" she pinched her cheeks affectionately causing them to laugh and Jia joined them too.

Aunty's smile faded once again and now tears welled up in her eyes. "Yes, you are my soul purpose for living, even when I lost everything including my husband" saying this her tears rolled on her cheeks. Now Jia too held her sweetly as Aunty loves her too just like Arushi.

"When I saw you, coming to me, I had no words to share my happiness" She smiled lightly while cherishing that memory.

"Aunty, how and when did I came to you" Arushi asked her for the umpteenth time.

"Arey, how many times will you ask me the same?" She shook her head with a smile.

(Arey means dear)

"Please Aunty" saying this she looked at her father Prakash and mother Gowri's pictures which are hanging in the wall with beautiful garlands.

"Your vehicle met with an accident and took your parents lives" she looked at Arushi "and you, it was a miracle that you survived"

"What happened to me, who informed you about me, you know, am trying a lot to remember about my past but I couldn't" Jia is keenly listening to them as if she's hearing that for the first time.

"Sanka devi, an unknown person informed me about you when you were in the hospital and you had a very serious head injury that time, so that you are struggling to remember your past" she cleared it one more time.

"15 years went" Arushi said absentmindely while Madhu nodded like yes "am longing to remember my childhood days, how mama and papa looked after me, everything, but" she couldn't continue as her sadness suffocated her as usual.

"Arey, for how long you both are going to sit like this, go and keep these vegetables in the fridge, I have to prepare dinner, and you two have to go for your work tomorrow right, its Monday, remember" she as usual tried to distract her at times like this.

Arushi and Jia went to the kitchen to arrange the vegetables and also to help her in dinner preparation. Aunty sighed as she always tried her best to change the subject whenever she's upset thinking about her mom and dad.

Arushi smiled knowingly that her Aunty always does this whenever she crushes her brain to get any hint about her past.

In the meantime, that Mercedes has finally stopped in front of Sinha Mansion. Throughout his drive, that particular handsome hunk couldn't get rid of Arushi's thoughts and was fuming internally. His driver clearly didn't want to say anything and kept his mouth shut as he knows the consequences.

"How dare she" finally uttering this he hit his fist on the steering wheel, which looked at him sadly. Then he opened the door and walked towards his mansion. His driver just picked his luggages and followed suit…
