Arohi's pov
I am Arohi. I am twenty one years old. I am from a small village. I am an orphan. My only family is Yuvaan, my ten year old brother. He's not my real brother. My parents adopted him when he was two years old. But I love him like my real brother. We were a happy family. A few years ago ,I lost them in an accident. Since then Yuvaan has been my only family. I have completed my bachelors and I am going to the city for my Masters. I got admission in one of the top universities of Delhi. This was my parents dream.
"Arohi, didi, I will miss you." said Yuvaan with tears.
"Oh my dear brother. Didi will come back soon. Once let me find a job and a place to live there. Then I will take you to live with me. Just wait for a few days. Till then you will leave with Sharda Kaki." I said. Sharda Kaki is our neighbour. She treats me like her own daughter.
I will miss him . I need to make some accommodation arrangements in Delhi. Once everything is settled, I will take him with me. I packed my luggage and left my village to leave for Delhi.
.....
I reached my college and did the needed admission procedures. I have enrolled for a hostel since living in this city is very expensive. Once I find a job I can rent an apartment and bring Yuvaan here. I entered my hostel room and saw two girls of my age unpacking their luggage. They must be my roommates.
I introduced myself,
"Hello, I am Arohi. And you are?"
"Hii, I am Mansi."
"Hii, I am Shruti."
After settling my luggage in the room, we came to know about each other. They didn't judge me from my village.
Mansi's dad was a police officer and Shruti's dad owned a small business.
"By the way , I wanted to buy some essential supplies for the room. Can you accompany me ? Actually I am new here and I don't know the way so.." I hesitated to ask their help on their first meet.
"No need to hesitate , Arohi. We are friends now. You can speak freely with us."
In a few weeks, we became very good friends. I tried to look for an apartment but they were very expensive. I also found a part time job as a waitress in a cafe.
.....
"Boss , Neha ma'am wants to meet you." His PA told him.
"Tell her I am busy." He said disinterested.
"But boss ..."
He was interrupted by someone entering the office.
"Virat, how can you do this to me ? You blocked my calls. You don't reply to my messages. When I try to meet you , you avoid me. I am your girlfriend. I love you." Neha said with tears.
"You are not my girlfriend. Love doesn't exist in my world. I never said I loved you. You were just a timepass for me. Now you don't interest me anymore. Take this blank cheque and leave." Virat said.
"But Virat, you can't do this to me. I am pregnant with your child." She said keeping a hand on her womb.
"Pregnant? Ha..ha ..ha " Virat chuckled. "Tell me the truth . Are you really pregnant? Is it mine? Whose filth are you carrying?"
"I am not lying. I am pregnant with your child. If you want you can do a DNA test." She pleaded.
" I don't care if it's mine or not. Abort it. I don't want this child. Even if I will have one someday , it won't be from a poor , undeserving girl like you, who doesn't even know who her father is . It will be from a girl from a family whose status matches mine."
"Saransh, ensure that the child is aborted today itself." He said addressing his PA.
"No. I ..won't let you abort it." She pleaded..
His men entered the room and dragged her out.
.....
Arohi finished her work in the cafe and left for the hostel. Arohi was passing by when she saw a car rushing its way which was about to crash into an old man crossing the road . She rushed as fast as possible and pushed him just as the car was about to hit him. The car halted with a loud screech until it was just centimetres away from her.
"Are you blind or is it one of your tactics to trap a rich man for money, miss? " She heard and looked towards the the source of the voice. She saw a man who seemed to be in his late twenties. His aura seemed dangerous. He was in his business suit and he was angry.
Arohi was a quiet girl but she couldn't take disrespect and stand injustice.
"Oh ,Hello mister , It was your fault that you couldn't see the red signal and almost ran over this old man and almost killed me. If you don't know how to drive, why do you drive? I am not blind as you think and it's not my tactics to earn money from you. Mister Richie rich, showing off your money and power won't be good for you. I don't give a shit about you and your opinion. Just apologise to this old man and you can leave." She said.
A crowd had surrounded them seeing their argument. Virat took out a bundle of cash from his wallet .
"See ,just take this money. I know you are doing this drama for this. Fucking gold digger." He put the cash in her hands and turned to leave when he heard her.
"Stop. I don't need your money. Just apologise for the sake of humanity."
"I don't apologise, princess. Money can buy everything. Ask this old man if he wants my apology or money." He said .
The old man joined his hand and said ,"Sorry ,Sir. I think she is new here. So she doesn't know you. I will accept your money. I don't need your apology."
Virat chuckled. He knew the greedy nature of the people. Arohi was shocked to see this. People here don't care about their self respect.
"Wait. You say money can buy everything. Right ? Then I will give you money also and apology also for this." Virat was confused hearing her.
"What..." He was shocked and that shock turned into anger when he saw what Arohi has done. Arohi in her fit of anger took a stone from nearby and threw it over the windshield of his car. The windshield was cracked. She then took the money he gave her hand and put it in his hand .
"Tit for tat. Hope this covers the cost of your damage." People were shocked seeing her behaviour. This was the first time someone had answered him back. They feared the outcome that the girl has to face for messing with the devil.
"Don't you all have any work? Just move your pathetic self from here." He said eyeing the crowd. The people went away.
"You . You will regret it." He said pointing a finger at her.
Arohi ignored him and left from
there. He just kept looking at her back.
How was their first meet?
