Hania's pov

It is now a week since aru and haadi bhai got engaged,.. We are back in Delhi, Aru has her Convocation next week and I am starting my internship tomorrow,

So much has happened in the last few weeks..

No, I am not just talking about what happened in aru's life.. But also in mine...

When arisha went to Lucknow, I stayed in Delhi for few days..

And that evening,I was a little late, when I was coming back from my college, there was this one guy who stopped me in the middle of the street and started misbehaving, i tried to walk away from the other side but he blocked the way.. He grabbed my arm forcefully and I cried in pain..I tried get rid of his hold but he was too strong for me.. "Leave me..Who are you?" I again tried a little harder..

But that guy pulled me to him.. "Stop it babygirl,I won't leave you like that"

That's when that guy received a punch out of no where, and he left my arm.

That guy got up and again was coming towards me, when someone came in between...

"Arsam... " I said and a tear dropped from my eye.

Arsam looked back at me for a moment.. And that was the moment when I saw a different arsam, not the one who flirts around with girls, but a decent one, a mature one? That look said it all.

"You okay? " He asked softly.

"Hmm.. " I nodded.

He turned back to the guy, " Kya baat hai bhai.." He said rolling up his sleeves..

"Stay out of it..I am talking to that girl " The guy said and again was coming towards me.

But arsam pushed him back.. "Kya hai haan? Samajh nahi aa raha..Idhar baat kar na"

"Tu kyun hero ban raha hai beech mein" And that guy punch arsam really hard.

"Arsam.. " I yelled.

I saw it started bleeding in the side of his lips.

I quickly called police.

I saw arsam and that guy was fighting and hitting each other..

But soon the police arrived and took that guy with them..

"Are you okay? " I ran to arsam

"Yeah.. " He said, but clearly he wasn't.

I took him with me to the apartment,

Once we entered the apartment, i quickly found the first aid and ran to clean his wound.

"Hero banne ki kya zarurat thi itni.." I said cleaning the blood with cotton.

He was silent..

" Wo banda kitna dangerous lag raha tha.. Uske ps knife ya gun hoti toh.. "

He was still silently looking at me.

"Ab bologe kuch.." I said frustrated.

"Tum..tum thik ho na? " He asked

"Haan ... Mai toh thik hu, but us bande ne tumhari shakal bigadh di hai.. " I said in the flow..

"Koi baat nahi.. " He said "wo banda tha kon, tum janti ho use? "

"No, mujhe nahi pata kon tha wo" I told

He remained silent for few second..

And suddenly stood up "chalo.. Get up" He said giving out his hand to me.

"What? " I asked

" Chalo mere sath"he said holding my hand.. And it gave shivers in my body.

What the hell is happening to me.. Why am I reacting like this.. And that too with Arsam..

"Hania.. " His voice brought me back to senses. "Chalein? "

"Kahan? " I asked.

"Malik's Mansion" He said firmly.. " I cant leave you alone like this, it's not safe for you"

Is he Arsam for real? Or am I dreaming..

••••••••

Present day....

And from that day, Arsam is not the same old childish for me.. I feel like i can look up to him.. I feel like i have always taken him wrong, It's feel like, i was wrong to think like that.. He not that bad, i mean he is good.. He is really nice actually..

He was always a good friend of Aru, but for me, i never really liked him.. And i thought he too never liked me.. But when we met again here in Delhi, all his flirts never made sense to me.. Because, i was not the only girl he was flirting to, he flirts with every girl except Arisha and that is just because of haadi bhai's fear i am sure..

But now, I feel good when he is around me. It may look stupid, but i started liking him. I feel jealous when he is around other girls.

My phone buzzed.

It was haadi bhai..

"Need your help, call me asap"

Haadi bhai is messaging me? Ya Allah, I hope everything is fine.

I immediately called him.

"Jee bhai, is everything okay? "

"Yes, everything is fine.. Tum kaisi ho? " He asked

"Ji, Mai bhi bilkul thik thaak.. Um, apne message kiya tha, khairiyat? "

"Haan wo actually, ek help chaiye thi"

"Ji bhai..bataiye"

" Arisha hai kya tumhare sath? " He asked

"Um, nahi.. Kya baat hai bhai? "

"Actually, I have a meeting next week in London and Arisha has her convocation too"

"Bhai, don't tell me you are not going to attend her convocation, she is going to kill you and you know that"

"Hania yaar, sabr se sun toh lo bhai ki baat... Pehle hi shuru ho gai" I heard arsam say through the phone.

What?

Haadi bhai is with him..

"Ek second arsam, I am talking na" I heard haadi bhai telling him to shut up.

"Hania, obviously i know she will kill me if I even think of not coming with her that day... But what I was trying to say is, I wanted to take Arisha with me for a short trip.. " Haadi bhai told me..

"Trip? Where? " I asked.

"Abhi toh bola na London" Arsam again said it before haadi bhai could respond.

"Arsam will you please shut up.. We are discussing something" I said at last.

"Hania, wait.. " Haadi bhai said.. "Arsam, ek dum chup, let me talk okay"

"Listen hania, I want to take her to Paris.. I have my meeting on Thursday in London and then we'll go to Paris"

"Okay.. Aapki fiancé hai, le jaen kahi bhi... Mai Kya help karu ye toh btaen"

"Um, actually i want to give her a surprise, so it should be a secret between us. "

"Bilkul haadi bhai, befikr rahein, Mai na bata rahi kisi ko bhi... Lekin arisha jaegi kaise.. baba bilkul bhi permission nahi denge.. " I asked.

"Arey, uncle se poochega kaun.. Chupke se jaenge ye dono" Arsam told..

"Chupke se? Nah, aru nahi manegi.. " I said

"Toh usko bhi kaun bata raha hai.. " Haadi bhai laughed.

"Mai samjh nhi parhi, aru ko bhi nahi batana hai"

"Jee, Uski packing, passport wagera sab tumhe dekhni h.. After Convocation, I will directly take her to Airport.. " Haadi bhai said.

"And she will think, she is going to see off haadi bhai, but in reality, she will be going with bhai" Arsam told.

"Okay.. Now I got this.. "

"Will you be able to do this? " Haadi bhai asked.

"Bilkul.. Oh my god, I am so excited right now" I said in excitement.

"Excited for what? " I heard aru said from behind..

"Ab.. Ba.. Ba.. Woh.. Ye.. " I couldn't find words at the moment.

"Speak up.. " Aru said coming in.. Removing her heels.

"Don't say it.. Hania" Haadi bhai ordered through the phone..

Aru looked at me expectantly..

"For your wedding obviously" I quickly think of it..

"For my wedding? " She repeated.

"Yeah... "

"And with whom? " She asked pointing on the phone.

"With your would be husband" I said showing her the screen..

She smiled at that..
