First of all, notice Aruf passed 3S where lots of players would have bid 4S automatically.
He was right again, 4S is down off the top on a D lead.
And now, feast your eyes on some sophisticated declarer play!

Declarer took the HQ lead with HA in dummy, crossed to hand with SK, ducked C9 (!!) to West's CA, and took the S return in hand with SA.
Next came a C to the CJ, SJ (East discarding H5), and ... DJ from dummy!!
West, on lead with DQ, returned a H ruffed in dummy with the SQ. Now CK was cashed to pitch declarer's last H, followed by ... DK crashing East's D10!!
Making 10 tricks, for a very nice score.
