Love Or Curse

Episode 1

[A cafe in Gurgaon]

Rishi's POV

Things were not working out between Arohi and me

That's why I decided to bring her on her date to her favourite restaurant

Rishi Arora

Arohi, I hope we can-

Arohi Karn

Rishi listen please, we need to talk

We have been quarrelling a lot since we told about our relationship to our family

We had decided to let our family know one by one

Arohi Karn

See, I have always told you how much this all matters to me, you also matter to me

Rishi Arora

And you know Arohi I do the same*said softly*

She has been upset regarding one thing which my mom said

Purnima Arota

Shaadi ke baad ek ladki ki bahut responsibility hoti hai, sirf pyar nhi hota, family, bache, reputation sab dekhna hota hai (After marriage a girl has a lot of responsibility it's not just love, it's also regarding family,kids, reputation)

Purnima Arota

How will Arohi manage her business after marriage? you handle her business , after all as a girl her main duty is taking care of her new family

I know my mom has primitive thoughts but after marriage i would make her see the reasons

Rishi Arora

Arohi trust mez company would always be on your name and I would handle it just on behalf of you and-

Arohi Karn

let's break-up Rishi

It took me a moment to realise what she said

Rishi Arora

Arohi?*whispers*

i felt like this is not true, she must be kidding

Arohi Karn

My growth is not important for your family and i can't keep fighting with outer world who doesn't see me capable and my inner world too*tear falls*

Did she not see my support?

I was doing everything for her

Arohi Karn

I can't be fighting two battles Rishi, your family and then our board members, you know my dreams my ambition, you have always supported and believed in me and now just because your mother doesn't like, you want me to adjust the only thing that matters the most

Rishi Arora

Matters the most?*shocked*

I felt my heart breaking

Was I not her first priority ever?

Arohi Karn

yes,matters the most*wipes her face*

Rishi Arora

What about me?*points at his chest*

She didn't say a word

Rishi Arora

Am I not your first priority?

Arohi Karn

Am I your first priority?

She slammed back the question

Rishi Arora

You are*firm tone*

Arohi Karn

Really? Then call your maa infront of me and tell her that Arohi will do whatever she wants after marriage and no one will interfere in her profession life*cold voice*

I clenched my fist

I can't go against my maa like this

She is very precious to me

Arohi Karn

What happened? I am your first priority right?

Arohi Karn

Show me? *asked angrily*

Rishi Arora

Arohi calm down, we can-

Arohi Karn

No we can't, I won't live in that cage Rishi!!

Rishi Arora

Arohi-

Arohi Karn

I refuse to stay like that, i refuse to be a housewife, i would do that... Let's break-up

She pulled out the ring which I had given her and dropped it on the table

Rishi Arora

Seriously...career is so much more important than love?*angry voice*

Tears filled my eyes

We have been i relationship for three years and she is ending it

Arohi Karn

If this the condition of your love then yes*wipes her tears*

Rishi Arora

*tear falls*

she was about to leave but i held her hand

Rishi Arora

Arohi p.. please*held her hand*

Arohi Karn

*looks at him*

Tears were rolling down my eyez

Rishi Arora

We can be happy, please I will talk to maa after marriage just trust me*kneels down*

She has that importance in my life that i didn't care about self respect or anything

Arohi Karn

*crying*

Rishi Arora

P.. please after marriage I will again talk to maa*crying*

Arohi Karn

*shook her head* I can't take that risk Rishi, I can't fight two battles, I am sorry*removed her hand*

She left from there while I was still kneeling down.

I had never begged anyone to stay

I had never knelt infront of anyone and today...the only girl i love left me

She selfishly chose money and career over my love and emotions

episode 2

Vikrant POV

Arushi had called me near her college canteen

We have been in a relationship but kind of a secret as she doesn't want her papa to find out

Her papa is a politician and obviously cares a lot about reputation and stuff besides they don't promote love marriage

But i also come from a very good background so I am sure there won't be very much hurdles.

We are one of the reputed people in Delhi, we have more networth than them

Arushi Mittal

Vikrant*low voice*

I couldn't help but go and hug Arushi

Vikrant Arora

Hey what took you so long?

she was hesitating a lot and then she looked at me, her eyes were red, that means she cried

Vikrant Arora

Arushi what happened?*caressed her face

Arushi Mittal

I... I am here to break-up

for a moment i couldn't understand

Vikrant Arora

What?

I was shocked

Arushi Mittal

M..my papa has already fixed my marriage with a businessman and next month I am getting married*nervous*

I couldn't believe it, and she was telling me now?

Vikrant Arora

Are you serious? How can you agree to it? We love each other!!

I didn't want to lash out on her

But i was getting angrt

Arushi Mittal

I tried to say but...leave it, we both knew this might not end well*sniffs*

Vikrant Arora

No we didn't!! We decided to fight for our love, our bond*said gently*

But all she did was look down and shook her head

Arushi Mittal

I won't go against my parents vikrant*sniffs*

Vikrant Arora

Arushi, we..we care about -

Arushi Mittal

I don't care about anything more than my family

I knew things will be difficult, she will not fight against her parents

Arushi Mittal

I had told you from the start, I won't go against my parents*shakes her face*

That's when i bursted

Vikrant Arora

Toh itna time se kya tha? Time pass tha mai?*yells angrily* (what was i for so long? A time pass?)

I said those words in anger because I was getting hurt

Arushi Mittal

Y..you and i both knew parents won't -

Vikrant Arora

Füçk it!! what about my feelings? My emotions?*yells angrily*

She broke down into tears

Arushi Mittal

I..I am sorry Vikrant , I don't -

Vikrant Arora

Get out*said angrily*

Arushi Mittal

Please don't say this to -

Vikrant Arora

Don't worry, your time pass won't be revealed*harsh tone*

she looked at me for a few more seconds, as if seeing me for the last time

But this wasn't my fault if we were

She didn't had the strength to stand up for our love

Arushi Mittal

I am sorry*crying*

Vikrant Arora

easy for you to move on*snort*

Arushi Mittal

Vikrant -

Vikrant Arora

I hope you feel thrice of pain which I am feeling Arushi*said angrily*

My heart was hurting

I had loved her so purely

And she did this to me

Arushi Mittal

*crying and ran away*

i took out the gift box from my pocket which I wanted to give her

But everything went in vain

episode 3

Ayansh POV

I was single handedly working on all the projects which all three brothers together were supposed to handle

But due to their personal issues I was the sole person who was handling them

Assistant

Sir, if we need this deal, we will have to make Mr Mittal agree

Ayansh Arora

Hm, I see*nods*

Things would have been a bit more smooth if my younger brothers hadn't been so stupid to give their heart to girls around

They should have always kept our family the first priority

Our growth and development should have been their sole goal and then marry the one chosen and have kids

but youngsters these days think there is love in this world

they forget that love is a very powerful weapon, if you don't know how to handle well ..it will kill you at the end

I always kept my emotions locked up, I don't fall for beauties around

But now this heartbreak will help them pull their brain out of their butt and get them back to work

Ayansh Arora

Let's book the meeting then

Assistant

Sir, you have been invited in Mr Mittal party, he won some award and has invited you too

Ayansh Arora

Fine then... let's wrap it up*nods*

I completed and went back to the mansion in an hour

We all three brothers lived together with our maa

Ayansh Arora

Maa

Purnima Arota

Mera beta agya*smiles* (my son is back)

Ayansh Arora

*smiles and hugs her*

Emotions and love should be only shown to family and specially towards maa who has given birth to us and sacrificed so much for us

Ayansh Arora

Where are they both?

Purnima Arota

*pursed her lips* As I said Arohi didn't want to stick up with family and-

Ayansh Arora

Maa, you should come out of those notion, it would be so good to see a women who is a CEO!!

I always believed in equality both side and i really liked Arohi when Rishi introduced her to us

Purnima Arota

Ghar ke ladko ko yeh sab mei nahi bolna chahiye Ayansh, yeh aurothon ka mamla hai (men of the house should not meddle in such stuff ayansh, this is women's matter)

I practically rolled my eyes

Somewhere I can't with my maa

She has old fashioned thought

Ayansh Arora

Anyway I have a meeting tonight and before that, I will have to meet Rishi and Vikrant

Purnima Arota

Go then, call them to have their food too, none of them have had anything yet*sigh*

I ran upstairs to see both of them in the same room just staring out the window

Ayansh Arora

Are you both done?*cold voice*

I gave them enough space to mourn out their heartbreak

Vikrant Arora

What's the point of so much money...

Ayansh Arora

They are paying your bills Vikrant, the beautiful scenery you are watching being sad, it's getting paid*cold voice*

Rishi Arora

Money.. power.. position*shook his head*

Rishi Arora

Selfish people*wipes his tear*

I know when they both had started dating

We three brothers have always been a strong unit together

I had tried to stop them but then I knew they would do it anyway, even if it was about to sink

Ayansh Arora

You both need to get your ãss back to work, I gave enough time*cold voice*

Rishi Arora

You have never been in love bhai, how will you understand*shook his head*

Vikrant Arora

Yes...the only one you love...is getting married to someone else*tears filled his eyes*

I am not that emotional of a person so I have no idea how to console them

Ayansh Arora

yes I am smart enough to never be in relationship, Especially when I know how bad it ends

Vikrant Arora

That's the thing..it wasn't supposed to end bad!! I still feel revealing everything about me and Arushi to the whole media*fist clenched*

Ayansh Arora

Aur usse kya hoga? (what will happen by doing this?)

Vikrant Arora

*silent*

Ayansh Arora

It will cost us too much loss, if she isn't strong enough to fight then leave it, you have to be strong for the company

Rishi Arora

Company... reputation..power.. position*snort*

Ayansh Arora

This is what it should be your goal

Ayansh Arora

Don't be sitting here like losers , if they don't care, why are you thinking?

Ayansh Arora

Think about yourself, keep yourself and your business and everything your priority, not anyone else

Vikrant Arora

Bhai it's not that easy?

Ayansh Arora

Do something so big vikrant that the girl who left you regrets doing it*firm tone*

Vikrant Arora

*looks at ayansh

Ayansh Arora

prove yourself and show your anger and power in the right place

Rishi Arora

*fist clenched and stood up*

Ayansh Arora

Make this company number one , no one should cross it

Ayansh Arora

Make sure the girl who left you to marry someone regrets seeing your success

I was just channeling their anger into a correct use

This will be benefit for us in future

And what is this about love and all... everyone moves on one day
