"Arnav, please don't do this to me, I love you!" She pleaded.

"I am sorry, Khushi," Arnav said in a cold voice. "I have to do it."

"I can't live without you." She wept.

"We can't live together." He tried to control his tears.

She slid down to his feet with tears in her eyes.

"Don't you love me, Arnav?"

"I do. But it's best if you stay away from me." He said closing his eyes. 

Khushi cried while falling to the floor. She looked down at the ground, tears blocking her view. After a while, she looked up, and her teary eyes turned red. 

Arnav opened his eyes in a jerk. He looked around, he was sitting at his study desk. He had just seen a glimpse of his future vision of what he saw a few moments ago. Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada could see the future. It was his special power. Also, he could read other people’s thoughts. 

But was he going to do this with Khushi? Was she going to cry for him? Wasn’t there a chance that he could change the future?

He looked at the clock; it was 8:47 in the morning. He was getting late for college. He wore his blue jeans and white T-shirt, put on his black blazer, and took his bike keys. 

He started his bike before Akash sat behind him. Soon, the bike came to life. Akash was his brother and only family. The two brothers could die for each other and they could also kill others for each other. As they walked toward their classroom, voices followed them. 

"Oh God, they're so hot!"

"I hope they notice me one day." 

Both of them smiled at each comment that came into every girl's mind. 

As Arnav tried to concentrate on the lectures, he felt a gaze on him. He turned aside and saw the beautiful face smiling at him. She was sitting on an adjacent bench. The wind from the window was hitting her face and making her hair flow, it made her look more beautiful. She kept her left hand on her chin and sighed at Arnav. 

He could do nothing but smiled at her innocent beauty. 

She put her pen in between her lips and blinked at him twice. 

"I wish I was the pen." He said to himself. 

"Miss Gupta!" 

The professor's voice brought them to the present. 

Khushi Kumari Gupta didn't answer and packed her stuff. She got up from her seat and went towards the professor.

"I know you will send me out of the class as usual for not being attentive. Don't bother, I am leaving myself,” she left the classroom.

Arnav chuckled and shook his head at her snark. Suddenly he realized that Akash was glaring at him. 

"What?" He asked raising his brows. 

"I heard that!" He replied.

"Heard what?" Arnav asked confused. 

Akash glared again. Arnav tried to recall for a second. Why does he always forget that his brother also has the power to read minds? Akash had surely heard him comparing himself with the pen. 

Arnav gave him an awkward smile. 

"Stay alert next time!" Akash said and Arnav shook his head.

Arnav could read everyone, but there is only one person, whose mind they were unable to read - Khushi. May be because of the soul connection. 

Khushi walked around the college corridor. She was smiling just thinking about Arnav. She liked him since the first day she saw him. She noticed his white skin, his green eyes, and dark brown hair. She had never seen a human as handsome as him. 

It was her favorite thing to gaze at him. If someone told her to do nothing but observe Arnav all day, she would happily agree. She would need no food, no water. She kept looking at him in every class and that's why it's common for her to be kicked out by the professor. 

She was so indulged in her thoughts that she had no idea when her heels tripped and she was about to fall. But suddenly she felt someone holding her waist and pulling her. In an eye blink, she was sitting in front of the girl's locker room. She looked around but found no one. She stood up and felt pain. 

"Sprain!" She sighed. 

Khushi somehow managed to walk to the canteen. There she saw Arnav sitting with Akash. She marched towards him.

"I need to talk to you." She said. 

"I don't," He replied coldly. "Let's leave, Akash." 

He got from his seat and turned away to leave but she held his wrist to stop him.

"Listen, I don't know why you run away from me, but you always save me from every trouble. I don't have any proof of it because you come like a gale and go away like a storm. And today also you..." 

"I didn't do anything." He whispered. 

She pulled him closer holding his wrist. 

"I know it was you. So don't even try, because I can feel you." She said in a slow, calm voice. 

She let go of his wrist and moved to walk when she hissed in pain. Arnav bent to her height to help her but she showed him her palm saying to stop. 

"I can take care of myself!" 

She left in low steps. Arnav looked at Akash, he pressed his shoulder in assurance.

Khushi was angry with Arnav. She went inside the washroom holding a towel as soon as she reached home. She even didn't bother to switch on the lights in her bedroom.

When the water in the bathtub got warmed up, she climbed down the tub and felt her muscles relaxing. Her sprain also felt better. She realized she had not brought her clothes in with her while drying her hair and body. 

She wrapped the towel around her and walked out of the washroom towards the closet. 

Her body froze when she felt a finger trailing up her arm and a hand moving round her waist after some seconds. She couldn't see the face as the lights were off, but she could feel, it was him. Arnav. She held the towel tighter.

She closed her eyes when she felt his cold lips on her shoulder, pressing a gentle kiss against her skin. She felt him moving his lips across her shoulder and up her neck. 

All of a sudden, she no more felt his touch and opened her eyes. She rushed to switch on the lights. No one was there except her. Just then, her eyes caught the window which was opened.

She let out a shaky breath.

"What the hell just happened?"
