Seeking Comfort!

Aarohi was waiting for Deep to come out of the company, she thought of to surprise him with something!

While Deep went straight ahead to parking area, starting driving, he came out, and was about to leave, but halted when he saw Aarohi waiting outside.

Wearing a white, blue shaded midi dress, with white silk coat reaching her waist! Her black open hair that reached down her shoulders slightly swaying along the breeze, her hands folded behind which were holding a bag, she seemed to be waiting! For him?

With a smile, he drove towards her, just stopping the car beside her, making her look at him through the car door's window. She smiled and got into the car when he motioned her to, closing the door, she looked back at him!

"I was just heading to you!" he said a bit surprised.

Aarohi smiled, "What is it?" he asked softly when he saw the cover that she held, she looked down her hands then up, with a smile, she handed it to him, "A present!!"

His brows raised, "For me?"

Aarohi bobbed her head!

He smiled, "Do we often think alike?"

She frowned, he turned, taking a cover from the backseat and handing it as well, "A present!!"

She laughed, "Let me guess what's it! Partywear?"

He chuckled, "And a suit?!" he asked with a shrug, they both chuckled.

"I wanted you to look special tomorrow!" she said, her eyes gleaming of a familiar feeling!

"Well you are always special! That is just an embellishment!" he almost flirted!

Aarohi shook her head, "But that isn't the least as well, it's the second latest one in our mall, recently got introduced, and with only one piece present! I took half my day to select it!" he said proudly!

Aarohi scoffed, leaning forward, "Seems like I did a mistake choosing a bluffing one!"

Deep shrugged, "Too late to regret!"

Aarohi chuckled, "Well second?"

"Ah!" Deep exclaimed, "The first always goes to Tara!" he shook his head, "She is the princess!"

"Of course she is!" Aarohi smiled, "But I doubt 'prince' would suit you!"

Deep shook his head at her before he started driving, and suddenly he felt her hesitating, he frowned, but maintained the silence for a time being before he could no longer take it, "Do you have something to say?"

Aarohi breathed, "To ask!"

Deep's frown deepened, parking the car to the sides, letting her realise that she had stayed silent for a long time unlike herself, and they have already reached her home! She looked outsides a bit surprised, before turning back to him, "What do you want to ask?!" he asked softly!

She almost sighed, "Do I really need to meet your mother?"

Deep chuckled, "Seems like you got hit with a boomerang!"

Aarohi shook her head, Deep chuckled again, "Truth to be told! You are lucky! I just had half an hour to be prepared but you have a whole night and a day!"

Aarohi glanced at him annoyed, before shaking her head again! "I am hoping for the best!" she breathed!

"And it will happen for sure!" he assured with a smile!

She with a sigh looked out for a brief moment before returning her gaze towards him, "I need to go!"

Deep stared her for a moment before he gave a nod with a faint smile! "Goodnight!"

Aarohi smiled as well before getting out of the car, he watched her getting into the house! He knew she went up to her room as the lights in the room were lit now, with a smile, his gaze went up to the balcony which was filled in green! She perhaps really like gardening! Deep still remembered how she was all of herself when he saw her watering the plants in the terrace, he stood like a foolish Romeo on the road, watching his pretty Juliet.

Deep chuckled and a laugh escaped, shaking his head he drove to his home! It was getting late, and he need to rest well for tomorrow to work!

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

Tara's closed eyes rolled as the early sunshine peaked through the window, and the birds chirping woke her up! As she slowly opened her eyes, she stared up in silence before she sat up, rubbing her eyes, and within seconds, her gaze fell over the man who was dozed off, right seated on the couch! It took her a fraction of seconds to recall everything that happened yesterday! His secret that he revealed! Knowing that he is psychometric, she still couldn't belive it, it really felt like a dream but it wasn't! Tara still remembered each and every single word he had spell out!

Getting up, she reached him, crouching and kneeling infront of him, she watched him in silence, he was still asleep! Last night she just had tried not to sleep early, just so that she won't be having any nightmares haunting her, but unfortunately she dozed off as her eyes felt heavy to even stay opened, and surprisingly she haven't had any nightmare!

As she was lost in thoughts still staring him, she noticed him slowly coming out of his sleep!

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

When Aryan rubbed his eyes, slowly leaning forward, and also rubbing his neck which ached a little now as he slept in the very same position the whole night, he was taken aback to see Tara kneeling down infront of him as soon as he shot his eyes open!

A minute of silence was carried away by them just staring each other until when Aryan spoke up!

"It's quite rare to see you like this!"

Tara said nothing defending herself while he teased her being kneeled!

As she said nothing, he now knew she is in no mood to encourage his mocking, leaning even more forward, his right hand reached forward cupping her cheek, "Are you still bothered by what had happened yesterday?"

Tara was silent for a moment before she poured out what was hunting her inward, "Just what have you seen about me?" she didn't beat around the bush!

Aryan watched her for a brief moment before he breathed deep, "A lot!"

He kneeled down as well now, "You know what did I see about you? For the first time?"

"It was when I held you for the first time, the moment I touched you!"

Flashes of him pulling and holding her in his arms, in their first meeting displayed in her mind!

"A twelve years old girl, sitting in the dark room, on the cold floor, curling up her knees and resting her chin over, memories haunting her! She cried! Cried very hard! Screaming to her peaks! And there was no one beside, to wipe her tears away! All alone!"

Tara couldn't handle her tears anymore and they streamed down her cheeks, Aryan's other hand reached up as well completely cupping her cheeks, he gently wiped away those tears!

Flashes of herself in her parent's room haunted her again! He saw it!

"And?" finally Tara spoke, but it was almost a whisper and her voice sounded broke!

Aryan smiled faintly, "You were never sincere with others Tara! Never I repeat!"

"You are so obsessed with hiding them all and in process you made me obsessed to see everything!"

Tara could no longer take this all and her shoulders fell! The smile he had on his face when he caressed her parent's photograph's with her was because he had seen her with them! The moment he encouraged her to save every life is cause along with her, he had seen it!

Completely understanding the reason behind the moment when he has said she and her thoughts bothered him! It was her pain that bothered him, so much that he decided to heal her!

"And I am glad that atleast I can share your pain!" Aryan stressed!

Silence surrounded the air!

"I feel exposed!" she admitted breaking the glass of silence, Tara's voice was low, full of agony!

"I assume if you were me, you would do the same!"

Yes, she would! When she had decided to even end her life if she could save another life, an agonising go through to see someone's past would be compared less!

"What would be the reason...for the change? Especially after we met eachother!" her voice was still low but he could see, she was slowly but surely begining to adapt this feeling as well! He just hoped she wouldn't hide any feelings inward anymore!

"I don't have anything in particular to describe it, but I am hoping that it will only lead us to the good side of our life!" he said with a genuine smile now!

Tara sighed, good side of life! It sounded as funny as a joke! Even if anything like that happened to her, then it would have been only one thing! Meeting him!

Her gaze was fixed on her hands, looking down, until she felt herself stiffening when he suddenly yet gently embraced her. Though her body stiffened, she didn't respond much!

"I don't know how to console either!" he breathed.

A glimpse of smile crept over face, "I can't, but I really would want to laugh at this!" she said with a light chuckle as a tear again made its way down her cheek. She didn't hug him back, but just had let herself to seek the comfort! Fully! Until she was satisfied!

But she didn't know that satisfaction was a forever illusion!!
