"Why are we here ,Shaurya?" Arnika asked him as they stood in front of Shaurya's house.
"There is a surprise for you...come." Shaurya said and took her inside his house.
As soon as they entered ,Arnika was welcomed by a warm hug. Knowing who the person was ,She smiled.
"Happy Birthday..." Dhruti said, hugging Arnika tight. Others laughed seeing her.
"Thank you,Dhruti." Arnika said, patting her back.
"Okay okay leave her now. She is having difficulty in breathing due to your hug." Dhruv said to his wife, making Dhruti frown and others chuckled.
They broke the hug and everyone wished her. Arnika took blessings from the elders and shook her hands with others .

Seeing the smile on her face I felt an immense happiness bubbling inside me. I felt as if I won some award as soon as I realized that I was able to bring the smile on her face.For the first time ,I have seen her this happy.

Arnika's pov Hearing the voice I stood still in my place. I got so numb that I didn't move my body to catch the bus which stopped in front of me."Arnika ,is that you?"I turned around to see Nimrit ,sister of my ex-husband Naman.I looked around to find the bus stop empty.I instantly came to my senses and walked towards the opposite direction as fast as I could.I heard her voice but I didn't stop.But suddenly she caught my hand and turned me towards her. She was panting as she was running after me.She took me towards a nearby secluded road."How are you,Arnika?" She asked me."I am happy..very happy."

Arnika's pov I was sitting in front of my laptop and typing the mails which Shaurya had told me to.Suddenly my phone rang, breaking my concentration.I laid my back on my seat and picked up the phone to see Dhruti calling me.Arnika : Hey,Dhruti : Hi...how are you?Arnika : I am perfectly fine...tell me how are you?Dhruti : I am fine.

Shaurya's pov " I am done for today." I sighed and shut down my laptop.I relaxed on my seat and looked towards Arnika's cabin to see her wrapping up her things.I also got up and packed my things up.Then I heard a knock at my door."Come in,Arnika." I said as I know she will meet me before leaving."Done?" She asked as soon as she came."Yes..let's go.I am dropping you today." I said.She was about to argue ,I raised my eyebrows to make her stop. She sighed and nodded helplessly. I smirked in victory.We both left our office and went towards the parking. Papa has already left an hour before .We settled down and drove towards her house.After half an hour ,we reached."Thank you for the ride...c
Author's povParty was going on full swing.Everyone was busy among themselves. Arnika was busy with Dhruti's friends with whom she was recently introduced,whereas Shaurya was talking with Dhruv but his eyes were stealing glances at Arnika .While all these are happening, a pair of eyes are watching every move of Shaurya. Shweta was continuously observing Shaurya. She noticed a different gleam in his eyes for Arnika today which she didn't see before for anyone.Somewhere within her the thought of him falling for Arnika has arised but her heart wasn't ready to listen.While thinking all this she got distracted while walking. Suddenly she got dashed with a person to whom she didn't want to come across."I am sorry,I couldn't see you." Arnika apologized to her.Seein
Arnika's pov As soon as she left ,I sat on my bed with a thud.No no no....this can't happen. Shaurya can never say anything like this to Shweta.Then tell me why will Shweta lie to you? You guys don't have any personal grudges....in fact she asked for your forgiveness, why will she lie to you? My mind asked me.Maybe because she wanted to torment me as she doesn't like me much whose reason I don't know...my heart said.If so then why will she ask for your forgiveness? She isn't someone who will throw her ego and kneel down infront of someone. My mind reasoned.But Shaurya...he can't do that,his care has always been very genuine...I didn't find any act of sympathy in his care...my heart said.How can you say this with this much guara
Arnika's povI woke up in the morning and groaned as I felt a terrible headache. I got down from my bed and stood in front of the mirror . I cringed looking at my puffy eyes and blotchy nose which told the story of how I was crying my heart out last night.Thinking about his betrayal ,once again my eyes got teary. It was paining too much in my heart. After 2 years once again I have gone weak and am crying again.Don't cry for a jerk like this….he was the culprit...don't let him break you… you have to be strong….you have to behave like a stone-hearted person...my mind reminded me.I wiped away my tears and decided to be strong again.It's the last time I am crying and today is the last day I am working in his office. I will resign from the job .
Shaurya's povNext day I went to the office with a changed demeanor and made sure that I behave the same with Arnika which I do with my other employees.Reaching my office,I looked towards Arnika's cabin and her exhausted demeanor and extra makeup on her face told that she had cried a lot but I made myself strong remembering the hurtful words she said to me. I was so hurt to get melted by her face.I made sure to send the files and everything through Ayaan. I really didn't want her to see my face as she wanted ..on the other hand it helped me to stay strong on my decision.During lunch hour , I was working in my cabin when Shweta came with her extra chirpy mode.Seeing her my blood boiled in anger remembering our argument."If you don't want to see my anger ,leave right now..I am
