Locked By Hearts!

"I am worried how he would react after hearing my decision" thinking about my only love I rushed to my flat which is on the seventh floor of one of the affordable apartment in Hyderabad.

"I am so sorry Arjun. My sandal broke on my way", I started as I was entering in hoping that it would cool him but it doesn't seem to affect him as he was glaring at me.

"Grow up Naina. I am asking you for the last time. Are you coming with me to Mumbai or not?"

"Arjun try to understand, after an year of struggle I got this job and also tomorrow I am going to Delhi for an important assignment. If this goes well, I would get promotion too. Now how can I leave all this and come with you", I said trying to make him understand.

Hearing which he raised his eyebrow and said "Don't tell me your so called assignment includes stroling at nights, hiding from criminals and all" hearing no response from me he got the answer "enough, pack your bags and you are coming with me and I find a nice groom for you there"

"Arjun I know that you are worried but trust me I will take care of myself and Siddarth is accompanying me" I pleaded him praying that he would for once agree.

Taking his bags, he left followed by me to the airport. On the way I tried speaking to him but of no use. As he went into the airport I returned back feeling bad for hurting my brother for the first time. He is the only family I have and we stayed under the same roof for 20 long years until Arjun got transfered to Mumbai last month. He never forced me to do anything till now and took care of me like a father as we lost our parents long before even I could remember. I respect him a lot and never went against his words but this is the matter of my dreams. I always wanted to become a crime reporter for which I completed bachelor's in Journalism and then got a job in a newly started news channel as a junior reporter.

As I was lost in my thoughts, my phone buzzed and automatically a smile appeared on my face seeing the message. It is from none other than my loving brother Arjun "text me the address of your hotel where you are going to stay in Delhi and take good care of yourself"

I replied with lots of smilies and happily started packing my bags.

Next morning, me and Siddarth took the flight and went to Delhi.

Delhi, in an isolated place at night

"Naina, are you sure they are going to come here?" Siddarth asked me and I could sense a pinch of fear in his voice and why not we are in one of the darkest corner of an isolated place which is far from the city giving an eerie atmosphere.

"Relax Siddarth, we don't have any option other than hoping that the information we got is right" I tried to sound encouraging though inwardly I was having the same suspicion.

"It has been two days we are trying but couldn't even get little proofs about the diamond smugglers. I feel we should return back Naina. I am missing my son", said Siddarth who started missing his family.

"Hmm. I just wish Arjun won't be that worried. I could not contact him as there were no proper signals here"

Just then they heard footsteps coming towards them which stiffened them. They hid back carefully and got the cameras and voice recorders ready to get glimpse of anything possible as it is very dark.

In Mumbai, being hell worried as of not able to contact Naina, Arjun lands in Delhi taking the next flight available. He enquired in the hotel and got to know that they left in the morning itself. After a frantic search he reached back to the hotel worried.

"Arjun!!" Hearing his name he turned back only to find Naina looking at him being confused. He immediately hugged her tightly letting out all the tears he was holding back.

Breaking the hug "Arjun what are you doing here? Don't tell me you came all the way from Mumbai for me", scolded Naina.

"What can I do if I have such an irresponsible sister. She don't even care to inform me that she reached fine", compained Arjun.

"There is no proper signal here, if not why wouldn't I call you. Look Siddarth I told you right, Arjun loves me so much", boasted Naina.

"I thought Arjun would be your boy friend rather than brother by the way you told me about him", chuckled Siddarth.

"It is love when two hearts are connected. It might be a mother's love for her children or a brothers love for his sister or a husband's love for his wife. What I feel is heart relation is stronger than blood relation and that is how we are connected. I and Arjun are orphans and we grew up together taking care of each other and be coming strength of one another", narranted Naina looking at her brother lovingly who can do anything for her.

"If your emotional talk is done, then will you take me somewhere for dinner. I am starving", said Arjun.
