"You really surprise me."

Khushi looked down, holding back the tears when suddenly her closed eyes showed her a picture of a smiling face as it left.

A confident smile emerged on her face as her head snapped up, eyes meeting his mocking stare. "I surprise you? But you surprise me more, Arnavji, I'm just attending a party for my sister's engagement. And let me remind you I was barely engaged for two weeks, hadn't you been dating Lavanyaji for more than a year? And your relationship broke off, oh let me think, a week ago? You don't seem to be quite affected by it seeing as to you're having fun throwing parties."

Arnav's glare penetrated the back of her skull as she walked off in a huff, bee lining for Nanhe who was standing in wait.

"Khushi! What was Nanav saying?"

"I don't know, I kind of zone out once he starts talking, let's go find jiji and jijai!" Nanhe shrugged good naturedly as she laced her arm through the one he offered. Walking off, she still feeling the burning gaze behind her.

My life sucked to be frank, like literally unarguably sucked. I worked my f**king ass off to get a rotation into a US hospital so that I could convince my estranged boyfriend that I loved him no matter what. And just when I'm like a f**king millimeter away from doing that, he decides to be celibate for life and then goes soul searching to some mountain region, effectively breaking my heart.

Did I mention my friends have suddenly turned crazy of evil or totally out of touch with emotions or whatnot?

Because I call Rhidzy up to cry over this only to get Anjie who's telling me that Rhidzy is getting married- again. Ok so maybe I haven't been keeping in touch as well as I could but I knew enough to know that she'd already gotten married. Except then Anjie goes, well she got divorced and is now getting married to Armaan. I mean she got divorced to get married to Armaan?

Admittedly, he's kind of irresistible , trust me, been handling that crush since day one, but I mean, how's that poor guy she got married to, let me get this straight here, TWICE supposed to know that Armaan and Riddhima are like this giant black hole of destruction? How the f**k should he know? He's probably sitting somewhere as miserable as I am poor thing.

I turn to stomp off only to crash straight into a brooding form beside me; a scream escaped my lips just as a yelp escaped him. Next thing I know we're both sopping wet and I'm laying on top of him in knee deep water as he struggled to breath. Of course then I like flip the shit out and I'm flailing around going, "I'm drowning save me!" which, in retrospect ,was ridiculous considering I was the one on top of him, and perfectly safe. I can't really tell if he was amused or annoyed, either way, he managed to move me out of the way and sit up, somehow landing me in between his legs, "SHUT UP WOMAN!" he screamed.

Needless to say, I shut up. "Hi," I squeaked, "I'm Muskaan."

He looked taken aback at the introduction but shrugged, meeting my outstretched hand, "Sid."
