Happy Reading!

It's been 2 week since the incident. Ritika is staying with Arohi and Abhishek at their penthouse.

Ritika joined college a week back. Arohi informed Sameer about the incident and he was way too furious after looking at Ritika's condition. But he controlled his anger. The duo are trying too many different things to change her mood. But the damage is already done..

Varun and Abhishek found Ritika's boyfriend and he is under their custody, getting the torture for his deeds. 

Currently Arohi, Ritika and Sameer are sitting in the living room of Arohi's penthouse. They are doing their study session because Ritika didn't want to be outside. 

"I just hate these questions yrr" Sameer said whining like a child.

"I agree" Arohi said with a chuckle.

"Riti show me the answers na" Sameer said peeking into her notebook. Ritika closed her notebook and glared at him.

Sameer gave her a smirk and snatched her notebook and started running. "Sameer give my notebook back" 

"You want it then catch me" 

They were running like kids in the whole living room. Arohi was shouting at them but neither listened to her. Ritika was running when she collided with a wall and stumbled. An arm wrapped around her waist to hold her. She slowly opened her eyes to see the 'wall'.

"Are you okay?" Varun asked making her stand properly. She just nodded her head and glared at Sameer.

"Clean the mess you created" Arohi said with gritted teeth glaring at them, making them gulp visibly.

"It's your house not ours Aru" Sameer said rolling his eyes at her.

"You are the one who messed it" she said throwing a cushion towards him, but he ducked and the pillow landed straight on Varun's face. He was shocked with the sudden attack. Arohi and Ritika gasped placing their hands on their mouth.

"Bhabhi what did I do?" Varun asked shocked. Abhishek who was trying to control his laughter, laughed making him glare at his friend.

Varun took the cushion and threw it at him but it landed on Sameer's face. "Serves you right, Nice shot Varun" Arohi said laughing at him and hi-fived Varun in the air.

He took the pillow and threw but it landed on Ritika. She stumbled and Varun held her at place. She looked at Sameer in anger and threw the pillow but it landed on Abhishek. She gasped sand said with wide eyes "Sorry jeeju" 

"Nice shot baby girl" Varun said putting a hand around her shoulder, making her eyes wide and heat creeping at her cheeks.

"Nice shot ke bache" Abhishek said and threw pillow but missed the shot and it landed on Arohi. This time everyone's eyes were wide. 

Arohi took the pillows and started hitting them all. By now the whole living room was a mess and full of their giggles and laughter. Seeing them no one would believe that two of them are business tycoons and the three a college students. Everyone was laughing, chasing and hitting each other.

 Ritika was standing at the middle and was laughing throwing her head back. Finally after 2 weeks they saw the same old bubbly Ritika. They were happy seeing her like this whereas Varun was just lost in her beauty and was smiling looking at her. Ritika looked at Varun and their eyes locked.

Abhishek and Arohi looked at each other and the somewhat same scene which happened in Mehra Mansion came in front of their eyes and Arohi's cheeks turned into the deepest shade of red. Abhishek went towards her and kissed her forehead making her giggle.

Mrs. Annie who was looking at this was also happy seeing this. She herself felt like she is watching some naughty kids. She took their evil eyes off and went inside the kitchen to prepare something for the kids.

Sameer looked at the two couple in front of him and cleared his throat "Guyss do this PDA somewhere else and go to the room you two" The four looked at him in disbelief and glared at him who was sitting on the sofa.

"Shut up" they said altogether. Ritika giggled lightly at the chorus and Sameer rolled his eyes. They all settled down on the couch.

"Kids here is your snacks" Mrs. Annie said lovingly.

"We are not kids" Arohi and Ritika said and giggled.

"But your actions said otherwise" Mrs. Annie said with a chuckle and slightly hit Arohi's head making her pout. Abhishek took her into his embrace and Varun chuckled. 

"Go get a room guys" the three said to the couple.

"Meri biwi hai, mera ghar hai mujhe jo karna hai karunga" Abhishek said and glared them, who got a glare from his wife. (She is my wife, this is my house, I will do whatever I want)

"Maggie" Ritika squealed ignoring the rest and started devouring the taste. They all served themselves and started eating. 

"At least someone took pity on this boy. Otherwise someone forgot how to do the hospitality" Sameer said looking at Arohi.

"Shut up you clown" Arohi said rolling her eyes.

"Mr. Mehra your wife is really rude" 

"Shut up Sameer before jeeju throws you out of his house for saying bad things about his wife" Ritika said the obvious.

"Chup kar jeeju ki chamchi"  he said making her hit his shoulder. (Shut up brother-in-law's flatterer)

Varun was looking at the duo with a frown who were now fighting. Whereas Abhishek and Arohi were enjoying the show with their maggie.

"Okay okay enough you two" Abhishek said dismissing their fight. Ritika showed her tongue to Sameer who made faces and Varun chuckled at her antics.

"It looks so good to see you like this again" Arohi said with tears in her eyes. 

The reality hit Ritika. For the time being she forgot everything in all this, but now she remembers it. But not wanting to ruin everyone's mood she just smiles sadly. 

"Btw what were you guys doing here and why were you two running?" Varun asked changing the topic.

"We were studying and these two tom and jerry started fighting" Arohi said huffing.

"She was not showing me answers so I snatched her notebook" Sameer shrugged.

"You guys are really kids" Abhishek said in disbelief.

"Excuse me" Arohi said with a glare.

"Btw I am Sameer" he said forwarding his hand "Varun"

They were talking when the elevator opened revealing Bhavna and Suket. They entered the hall and they were shocked looking at the mess. 

"What is all this?" Bhavna said examining the whole area. 

All the heads snapped towards the entrance. Arohi squealed looking at Bhavna and Suket. she rushed towards them and hugged them, making them chuckle. 

"I missed you soo much Maa" Arohi said hugging her and started sobbing.

"Aru bacha what happened? Why are you crying? Did Abhi do something?" Bhavna and Suket asked glaring at their son who just rolled his eyes. "Period hormones mom"

The latter said 'o' and  looked at their daughter lovingly. "Sometimes I doubt if I am your son or not" Abhishek asked touching their feet.

"Jealousy jealousy" Varun sang from behind.

"Don't be jealous of my daughter young man" Suket patted his shoulder.

"He's not young dad, he's old man" Arohi said giggling and everyone laughed. They moved towards the couch while Abhishek was standing there dumbfounded. Shaking his head he also sat beside his best friend who was laughing at him.

"Maa they are my friends Ritika and  Sameer" she introduced and they all chattered for a while. Ritika excused herself and went to her room. While the rest were chatting. 

They all left for their house leaving Arohi Abhishek and Ritika. 

"I am old man huh" Abhishek asked as soon as the door of elevator closed. 

"Yes" Arohi said with a firm nod. 

"Then let me show you what this 'old man' can do" he said and bend Arohi over his shoulder and went towards his room. 

He threw her on the bed and locked the room. He started opening the buttons of his shirt making her eyes go wide. He started taking predatory steps towards her. She ditched him and ran out of the room the room making him laugh.
