🏏IPL 2026 Match 7th CSK vs PBKS at Chennai🏏
Khushi waited impatiently in her driveway tapping her heels against the ground. She kept shifting her weight from one side to another and messed around with her bracelet. Her temper began to rise when she saw the time flashing on her touch screen. But before she knew it, she heard a loud honk and when she turned around to see who it was, she thanked god it was him.
Arnav rolled down the passenger window and opened his mouth to greet her but she had already started shouting. "It's 7:15 you idiot! Where were you?!"
"Well I had to go and buy a new shirt you know," he picked at his shirt, smoothening it and gesturing for Khushi to awe at it. But all he got was another eye roll and the thunderous sound of the door slamming. She folded her hands in her seat and huffed, trying her hardest to act real mad.
Arnav let out a laugh and teased, "You do know Khushi that you can't stay mad at me for that long."
"Ughh.." Khushi groaned loudly throwing her hands in the air. "Darn me! I really wish I could hate you forever and ever!"
"But you can't!" he teased her once again this time pulling her cheeks. Khushi flinched and pushed his hand away with a pout on her face. Arnav chuckled once again and pulled out of the driveway.
In the middle of the silent car ride Khushi blurted, "Wait I almost forgot!"
"What?" Arnav asked turning his head towards her but at the same time trying to keep his eyes on the road ahead.
"We have to pick Lavanya and Justin!" Khushi panicked.
"Why can't they come on their own?" Arnav queried.
"Justin's car broke down" she replied.
Arnav let out a silent groan but Khushi knew him very well and caught it immediately.
"Now what's your problem?" she said turning in her seat towards him.
"It's not that I don't want to its just that-"
She realized that he was going to give a dumb excuse so she immediately put her hand up and stopped him.
"I know very well, now stop fussing and drive towards La's house."
Arnav knew better than to argue with her so he shut up and swiftly turned towards his destination.
***
"Khushi!" Lavanya shouted as Arnav was pulling towards Lavanya and Justin. Khushi shouted back La's name immediately causing Arnav to shake his head in dismay at the utter stupidity of girls.
Khushi opened the door and rushed out before Arnav could even properly park the car and Arnav once again was left dumbfounded.
He also got out of the car and strode towards the others.
"La!" Khushi shouted rushing for a hug.
"Khushi! How are you?" La replied pulling away from the hug.
"I'm great!"
As Arnav dragged himself, he saw Justin come towards him and Arnav flashed an involuntary smile.
"Hey!" Justin greeted him.
"Hey!" Arnav replied through clenched teeth.
Khushi elbowed Arnav real hard when she saw his attitude causing Arnav to flinch in pain.
"So you guys ready to have fun?" Khushi asked rubbing her hands together shooting each one of them a naughty look and Arnav immediately caught that glint in her eyes.
***
"Arnav, get me one more!" Khushi yelled placing her glass on the table. The music was booming loudly and she could feel her heartbeat intertwine with the beats of the fast pace music.
"No more!" Arnav shot back strictly.
"Why?" she whined hitting his chest playfully.
He caught her hands and replied, "Because Khushi you've had too many shots you'll-"
Khushi turned her head away in ignorance and called for the bar tender and he immediately organized the drink of her choice.
Arnav proceeded to grab the drink before Khushi's hand touch it but she was too quick. In fact before he knew it, she had already gulped it down.
His eyes shot open in shock and scolded her, "Khushi!" But he stopped in the middle of his sentence to find her coughing.
"Khushi!" he immediately reached for her back and rubbed it. Not noticing at all it was a backless dress, he continued to rub providing her relief.
In the middle of a cough she managed to say, "Arnav-" She coughed more and continued, "Don't take any chances-"
What?
"Khushi you know I wouldn't-"
"I know Arnav. Just saying-" she smiled gazing at his visage.
"What happened?" Lavanya asked as she strode towards Arnav and Khushi.
Arnav immediately took his hand away from her back and stuttered in his response. "Well nothing just, Khushi choked on her drink."
Lavanya looked towards and asked, ":Khushi are you okay?"
Khushi replied with nod and sweet smile.
Lavanya patted her shoulder and spun around back to Justin. Seeing Lavanya leave, Khushi requested, "Arnav, can we go outside?"
Snapped out of his thoughts, a clueless Arnav nodded.
***
"Arnav?" she spoke breaking the dead silence. "Hmm?" he replied.
Her head was resting on his shoulder and both of them were just gazing straight at the wonderful and beautiful city lights below them.
"Did you take my joke that seriously?" she asked lifting her head up to question him eye to eye.
"No-" Arnav smiled. "I know you were joking."
"Good" she smiled back and rested her head on his shoulder once again.
He couldn't believe that he had such a good friend like Khushi. It felt good that for once he could have a strong relationship with a girl without having to face awkward moments.
"Arnav, give it back!" she pleaded jumping as high as she could as he held her diary with his arm above her head.
"Nope," he shot back turning his head away from her.
"Give it back!" she shouted and tackled him down on the floor.
"Khushi! Get off of me!"
"Then give me back my diary!"
"Fine here you go!" he gave it back just so she would get off of him.
She snatched the diary and stood up immediately clutching on to the book tightly.
He propped himself on his shoulders and planted a smirk on his face. "By the way, Spencer? Really?"
"Wh-what about Sp-spencer?" she looked away shyly.
"Khushi I never knew your standards went so low!"
"Shut Up!"
"Okay..okay!" he threw his hands up surrendering. "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Well.. you would laugh at me!"
"Why would I? I am your best friend right?"
"Well..yeah but.."
"From now on' no secrets okay?"
"Agreed."
"Wait.. I wanted to say something," she said.
He turned his head towards her listening attentively.
"Can you promise me something?"
"Sure."
"Arnav, I know we both are best friends and other people think we have something going but I just wanted to-"
"Did something happen Khushi?"
"No it's just that, I'm really glad I have a best friend like you. I can tell you anything, and you would understand. Now further on I don't know what's going to happen but, whatever happens, will you promise me that whatever happens, we will not fall in love?"
"Agreed."
"What happened Arnav?"
"Nothing just, thinking of the promise."
"Why?"
"It just, you know came to mind," Arnav lied. "Come on, we should get you home."
"Me? But I thought we were going to our place" she queried in a daze.
"Khushi your extremely drunk, your sister must be worried."
"Oh yeah she's worried alright. Worried that I'm going to go have sex with guys." She blurted.
"What?" Arnav replied in a state of shock.
"Yeah, before you picked me up, I kind of had a tinsy little fight with jiji."
"Why? What happened?" he turned towards her worry written all over his face.
"Oh nothing, jiji and jiaji freaked out again and scolded me for going out with guys and clubbing and other shit."
"Khushi you have understand them too! They're worried for you!"
"Well they it doesn't seem like that."
Arnav shook in head in despair and realized that in this state, she wasn't going to understand a thing. He dropped the subject and directed her down the stairs towards their car.
"Where's Lavanya and Justin?" she asked her head swaying.
"They both left in cab. Lavanya said they had to go somewhere."
Khushi giggled immediately at his response.
"What happened?"
"Nothing," she giggled placing a finger on her lips gazing at him innocently.
Arnav shook his head in dismay, helped her settle in her seat, started the car and drove along the lighted lone road.
***
Arnav sighed loudly and threw his keys on his coffee table causing the keys to clink hardly against the glass. He slumped down on his chair and dug his face into his palms. He ran his hand through his hair and threw his head back closing his eyes. This restlessness was just killing him.
And he had to get rid of it.
'That's it,' he decided. He's going to do it.
