"Bhabhi he is amazing." Just amazing." Rashi said with a dreamy look on her face. These last 2 weeks have been incredible, and I can't believe Sahil's going back to New York in 2 days." she said sadly. "In just a few weeks, he's become such an integral part of my life." "I don't know what I'm going to do with out him" she said sighing. Arohi smiled at Rashi. "You two are so cute together." "I just can't believe how quickly you two hit it off." Rashi smiled happily. "He's everything I ever wanted in a guy." Looking at Arohi she grabbed her hand. "Bhabhi I think I may have fallen in love with him" "Is that even possible to fall in love with someone so quickly?" "Ofcourse it is." Arohi said squeezing her sister in laws hand. "Love can happen at first sight." "There's no right or wrong." 'When you're in love, you're in love!" she exclaimed. "That easy huh?" Rashi said laughing. "Was it that easy for you and bhai." "Your brother and I are a little bit of a special case." "Some people take the easy route." "Meet, fall in love, get married." "We took the long, twisted, windy, scenic route to love and happiness..with a few bumps along the way." "But we made it." "It was our love that helped us make it." "Do you think Sahil and I could make it?" Rashi asked. "If you two want to make it, you will" "And I've known Sahil for a very long time, he's not the type to take a relationship casually." "It's usually all or nothing for him." Rashi nodded. "He asked me to be his girlfriend." "Well, isn't that what you want?" Arohi asked. "Ofcourse!" "But, it's the long distance relationship thing that worries me." "Don't worry, just take it as it comes" Arohi said reaching over and hugging Rashi. Glancing at the clock Arohi winced. 12:00 am, she was going to be bagged at work tomorrow. "Okay let's talk more tomorrow." "I've got an early morning meeting. " Arohi said yawning. The girls got up and walked up the stairs to their bedrooms.

Arohi quietly got into bed and cuddled into Arjun. Arjun turned towards her and wrapped his arm around her. "Hmm." "Is she over that Sahil yet?" Arjun asked drowsily. Arohi frowned at him even though he couldn't see it. "You liked Sahil!" she said. "Liked, as in past tense." "Before he tried to make a move on my sister." Arjun said, now wide awake. "He didn't make a move on her, he likes her." Arohi said cuddling closer to Arjun. "You're just being an over protective brother, because you don't think anyone is good enough for your sister." "Damn Straight!" Arjun replied. "And if he hurts her I'm going to have to kick his ass." "I know my friend, he won't hurt her." "I love your protectiveness towards your sisters." she said giggling. "You're grown sisters!" Not grown enough." "Rashi's too young to be getting serious about someone." he said. "Rashi is barely a year younger then me!" Arohi replied, rolling her eyes. "Was I too young to be serious about you?" she asked looking up into his face. "Hell no!" he answered. "Speaking about being serious, how serious are you about sleeping tonight." he asked kissing her neck. "Very serious!"she said pushing him away and giggling. "Seriously?!" "Cause I have other serious things that I need to discuss, but they can only be discussed with our clothes off." Arohi giggled as he leaned down and kissed her.

4 months later.

"Arohi, come on, Everyone's waiting." Arjun called as he knotted his tie. Arohi walked out of the bathroom slipping on her earrings. She wore a gold sari with hot pink thread and crystal work throughout. Her hair falling in curls down her back. Arjun glanced in her direction and then smiling turned fully towards her. "Wow, Mrs. Singhania, you look sexy." His eyes clearly liking what they saw. "You look pretty sexy yourself Mr. Singhania" Arohi said looking at Arjun's charcoal grey suit with a black dress shirt underneath. Both of them looked towards the door as they heard a knock. Arohi rushed over and opened the door. "Arohi bhabhi, Rashi di is asking for you." Sara said standing at the door. "Okay, let's go." Arohi said rushing out the door. Rashi was getting engaged to Sahil today. The two had, had a whirlwind romance, and were now taking the plunge and getting married. The engagement ceremony was taking place today with the wedding happening in another week. "Bhabhi, how do I look?" Rashi asked. Arohi looked at her beautiful sister in law wearing a red fitted lengha with gold embroidery and a short gold choli top embellished with red stone work. "You look like a princess." Arohi replied feeling her eyes fill with tears. "Bhabhi, please don't start, you're going to get me started too." Rashi said with a sniffle. Arohi laughed and quickly wiped away her tears. "I'm done, I promise." "No more tears." "I'm just so happy for you." she said. Rashi sniffled again. "Are you two crying again!" "I thought you did enough of that last night!" Arjun said from the door. He walked over and put an arm around each of them. Both women leaned their heads against his shoulders. "Are you sure about this Rashi?" Arjun asked. "Because, if you aren't, I can cancel this and have everyone out of the house in 5 minutes!" Arjun said seriously. "Bhai!" Rashi said frowning. "For the 10th time, I'm sure!" "I love Sahil." "And I thought you liked Sahil now!" Arjun sighed. "I like Sahil." he said. "He's a great guy." "I know he's going to keep you happy." "But he's taking my little sister away from her family too." Rashi sniffled and threw herself into her brothers arms. Arohi stood giving the two a teary eyed smile. "I love you" she mouthed to Arjun as she walked out of the room giving them some privacy. Missing her own family. her parents were arriving next week for Rashi's wedding. She couldn't wait to see them.

"Arohi stared up at Arjun and Rashi as they made their way downstairs. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt the still familiar butterflies in the pit of her stomach as Arjun made eye contact with her. He was so handsome she thought. And he was hers. The last 8 months of their marriage had been incredible ones. She never knew she could feel so intensely about someone. Feel so much love that sometimes tears would spring to her eyes because her heart felt so full. Sometimes it was scary to be so happy. Arjun showed her his love for her in so many ways. The way he even looked at her, his eyes filled with so much tenderness towards her or so much passion. His little gestures that he might not even notice. But she noticed them, and they just made her fall deeper and deeper in love with him. Like the way he moves her hair out of her face and tucks it in behind her ear when she's reading, or when they're leaning over a set of plans. So natural that he doesn't even notice he's doing it. Or the way he unconsciously will bring her hand up to his lips and kiss it while they're watching TV or he's on the phone, or doing something completely routine. His besharmy. That always brought a smile to her face. His never ending desire for her. Making every time they made love feel like the first time. Sometimes so tender and slow it brought tears to eyes and sometimes so frantic with need that she was left breathless afterwards. He'd become her whole life. And she wouldn't have it any other way.

Arjun came and stood beside Arohi. Raising his eyebrows he whispered. "You okay?" "You look like your somewhere else?" "I'm fine." "I love you" she said softly. Arjun smiled. "I love you too." he said taking her hand in his. Both turning back to Rashi and Sahil in time to see Sahil slip Rashi's engagement ring onto her finger.

"Arjun looked into Arohi's eyes and couldn't help the smile that appeared on his lips. She always had that effect on him. Just the thought of her could bring an instant smile to his face. "What?" Arohi asked looking up at him. Arohi was in Arjun's arms for the first slow dance of the night. "I was just thinking about our engagement." he answered. "Doesn't it feel like a lifetime a go." he asked. "Arjun we've only been married for 8 months!" "Don't make us sound like an old married couple!" Arohi teased. "Arohi, I don't think old married couples can do what we do." "What we do?" she asked. "Yeah" he said pulling her closer and bringing his lips close to her ear. "What we do in our bed, on the family room sofa, in the shower, in the office..." Arohi's eyes grew wide and her face blushed red. "Arjun!" she said glancing around to make sure no one heard them. "Stop it!" "On our deck, in the guest bedroom..." ARJUN!" Arohi said her face, beet red. Arjun laughed. The song ended and holding hands they made their way off the dance floor. "I can't believe we've been married for 8 months and you still blush talking about us making love." Arohi gasped. "Could you speak louder?!" she said looking around. "I don't think people at the other end of the room heard you!" Arjun laughed again and pulled her closer. "You're perfect." "You know that." "Don't ever change, and for the record even when we are an old married couple I'll have the hottest wife around." "Hottest huh?' "What if I get wrinkly, with grey hair and become fat." "Hmm." "Botox, hair color and a tread mill will make sure that never happens." he answered with a straight face. Arohi gasped and then shaking her head and laughing she hit his arm. "You're always going to be beautiful in my eyes." "And I'm always going to the be luckiest man alive...in every one's eyes." Arjun said smiling lovingly at her.

Rashi's wedding was a beautiful affair with all the things a successful Indian wedding had. Music, dancing, lots and lots of food, beautiful clothing, tradition, laughter, love, and most importantly family. The week flew by with all the traditional events keeping everyone busy. The wedding was perfect and Rashi sparkled in her burgundy and gold lengha. As the wedding came to an end and the Bidaii approached, Arohi felt a lump in her throat start to form. She tried to distract herself by running around getting last minute things together. But the lump just got bigger and bigger. Rashi had become her sister and her friend. And even though she knew Sahil would always keep her happy. She couldn't help the sadness that suddenly overwhelmed her. She was going to miss having Rashi close by. As everyone gathered outside to send Rashi and Sahil off, Arohi stood next to Arjun with tears in her eyes. He had a comforting arm around her but looking up at him she could see tears in his eyes too. Everyone said their goodbyes with Arohi hugging Rashi close to her wishing her nothing but happiness. Arjun and Rashi being the last to say good bye. "I'm going to miss you bhai." Rashi whispered when Arjun wrapped his arms around her. "Me too," he said his voice cracking. "I love you" And if you ever need anything you know your big brother is always here." he said softly into her hair. Rashi nodded sobbing against his chest. He walked her to the waiting car. "I promise to keep her happy." Sahil said to Arjun, hugging him. Arjun nodded not being able to speak. The door shut and the car made it's way slowly out of the driveway. Arohi took Arjun's hand and squeezed it, leaning her head against his shoulder, watching the car disappear.

"Why don't you come to Chandigarh with us?" Arohi's mother in law asked. "Mom, I can't." "Work is so busy right now and I've already spent so much time out of the office because of the wedding." "I can't get away now." "What's the point of owning a company if you can't even take time off when you want." Arjun's mom asked shaking her head. Arohi's mom nodded. "I agree." "And your dad and I are spending a week there too, so that way we'll get to spend a little more time with you." Arohi nodded biting her lip. "Arjun won't be able to get away." "I know, he won't." "He has some big projects that he's working on." "Well, that's fine, you just come by yourself." "Since the wedding I've barely seen you." "I want to spend time with my daughter in law too." Arjun's mom said. "Me come without Arjun?" Arohi said softly. "But then he'll be alone here." Arohi said. Both mom's looked at eachother and then burst out laughing. "So there's the real reason!' "You don't want to leave Arjun." Arohi blushed. "No, no, it's not that." 'It's just that..." "I understand beta." Arjun's mom said smiling. "Your mom and I are both wives too." "Being away from your husband, even for a short time feels like forever, especially when you're newlyweds. " "Okay, fine I won't force you." "Besides knowing how much my son loves his wife, he probably won't let you come by yourself anyway." Arohi smiled shyly as her mom and mother in law reminisced about being young and newly married.

"Arohi, where's my towel" Arjun called from the bathroom. Arohi sighed. "Where it is everytime you pretend not to know where your towel is to get me into the bathroom with you!" Arohi yelled. Arjun didn't say anything. A minute later the bathroom door opened with Arjun walking out with just a towel around his hips. "I found the towel" he said moving towards her. "Now I just need my wife." he said picking up a fully dressed Arohi and carrying her back into the bathroom. Arohi screamed. "Arjun, put me down!" He put her down but grasped her arm. "Arjun come on let go." "In a second." he said shutting the door behind him with one hand and then tugging off her t-shirt. "Arjun" Arohi said softly. "Our family is downstairs." That's nice" he said leaning down and kissing her neck as he unzipped her jeans. Arohi moaned. "Someone might come looking for us." she said softly. Her eyes closed as Arjun kissed her bare shoulder. "Let them." "Her jeans now lay on the ground. Turning on the shower he pulled her in. "Arjun, our parents.." she said softy reminding him. " "Don't scream my name as loud as usually do, and noone will come looking for us." he whispered against her lips. Her gasp was replaced by a moan as his hands started to drift over her body. Before long Arjun had made her forget that anyone else even existed other then him and her.

"So everyone's leaving tomorrow morning." Arohi said looking at Arjun who was sitting on their bed typing away on his laptop. "Hmm." was his reply. Arohi frowned at him. But then slowly her frown turned into a smile. He looked so cute with his glasses on. And then her smile got a little bigger. "So I was thinking since I haven't been to Chandigarh since our wedding, and since my parents are here and I haven't seen the rest of my family in a little while I would go to Chandigarh with everyone. "Hmm." Arjun responded still working away on his computer. Arohi stared at him. And then suddenly Arjun looked up at her, his eyes widening. "Hmm!" he said. "What?" "Chandigarh, by yourself?" "No, that's not going to happen." he said putting his laptop down on the bed and getting up. "Why not?" Arohi asked. "Why not?!" "Maybe because I can't survive without you for longer then 24 hours." "After that I start going through Arohi withdrawal." he answered. "Arohi withdrawal?" Sounds like a serious problem." she said. "Very serious." "Once you have it there is absolutely no turning back." "No cure, just lots of medicine in the form of a beautiful woman named Arohi." he said wrapping his arms around her. "Will any Arohi do?" she asked. "No," he said shaking his head. "Only mine will do." he said kissing her softly on the lips and the hugging her close to him. "Only my Arohi." Arohi closed her eyes and pressed her face into his chest. "Good answer" she said smiling.

The next day the last of their family left and both Arjun and Arohi promised to come to Chandigarh for a visit soon. Falling back into their routine they worked, and socialized with friends together and individually. Over the next year and a half, they fell more and more madly in love with eachother. If that was even possible. But according to Arjun it was. As he liked to say "he loved her more today then yesterday and less today then tomorrow." Every day was a new adventure, a new day to live together, to enjoy together, to love together. As much time as they spent with friends and family they always made sure they had time for just the two of them. Be it long walks on their favorite beach, or dinners out sometimes by candle light and sometimes standing outside their favourite roadside gol guppa stand. Sunday mornings they would lie around in bed, drinking coffee ,reading the newspaper, making love. Not necessarily in that order. Arohi sometimes managed to get Arjun to sing for her. Leaning her head on his shoulder she would lose herself in his beautiful voice. Never wanting him to stop. Their love for travelling had them seeking out a new travel destination every few months. They loved exploring and learning about new things together. A year ago they went to Vancouver together for the first time as husband and wife. That had been amazing for Arohi, being able to show Arjun a part of her life he was not really familiar with. They had had such a great time that they had ended up extending their trip by a week so that Arohi could spend some more time with her family and friends. They visited family in Chandigrah numerous times and Family and friends came to visit them which was always a nice surprise. Arohi's cousin's from Chandigarh coming kept them both entertained. Aria and Ishaan also came for a visit not so long ago. Arohi and her spent time shopping and planning...planning for Aria and Ishaan's wedding which would be taking place in a few short months. Rashi and Sahil also visited and Arohi was so happy to see how happy and in love her sister in law was. And even after almost 2 1/2 years of marriage one thing that had not dulled in the least, infact if possible had just become stronger, was their desire for eachother. Their lovemaking was still constant and amazing. Arjun's ability to make Arohi melt at his slightest touch had not changed in the least. He still drove her crazy with his caresses and she still drove him wild with her sexiness. They were extremely happy with the life they'd built, but lately Arohi had started feeling something. A little twinge for something more. She had everything, the perfect life, so why did she feel like they weren't complete.
