Arnav gently opened his eyes and sat up on his bed. He ruffled with his hair and wondered since how long had he been sleeping. he glanced at his hand which was neatly bandaged. He no longer felt the pain. He recalled how Khushi tended to his wounds. What was happening to him! this is not right! He needs to stay away from that girl, he decided. I DON'T CARE, he said to himslef. He threw the blanket away and went out of his room. His eyes widenned on seeing the new place. This was not at all the house where he lived. He heard a slight giggle from the corner of the room and he looke in that direction.
"Look at your face",Khushi said giggling.
"Whats all this?",Arnav asked.
"You didn't recognise? This is your house",Khushi said.
Arnav looked around the room. The floor was shining. The cushions were neatly placed on the sofas. All the clothes were lying in a neat pile by the table. the flower vase which was hidden in his socks was now looking beautiful on the table. It no longer looked like the place e used to lve.
"What the hell is this!",he roared. Khushi's giggling stopped at once.
Arnav stormed towards her grabbing her by her shoulders.
"How dare you fiddle with my home!!! HOW DARE YOU!",he shouted.
Khushi tried to free her from his grip but all her efforts were futile.
"I just...",she attempted to explain.
"Shut up you creep! How dare you touch MY things! It was my mistake that I got you into my home! GET OUT! NOWW!!",he screamed.
Khushi was speechless.
"But where will I go.. Please..",she pleaded.
Arnav's grip tightened as she winced in pain. He pulled her even more close to her, her breasts crushing against his hard muscular chest.
"Go find some other guy to sleep with! U got that?",he said.
Tears of pain welled in her eyes. She pushed him away from her with all her might.
"How dare you say that",she said as she slapped him hard on his cheek,clenching her teeth.
Arnav felt a thunderbolt run through his veins as he felt her hand crashing on his face. He brushed his fingers on his chek to feel the red patch on them. He turned to look at her but there was no one in front of him.
"Khushi.."he whispered.
He checked his room, the kitchen and even knocked the bathroom. There was no one.
Where is she,he asked himself. He ran out of his flat and asked the guard.
"Did you see any girl in an oversized shirt leaving this place?". The guard refused.
he was tensed. Where has she gone,he asked to himself. He went inside the building. Just as he was going to take the stairs, he saw a man coming out from the lift.
"Uh.. excuse me? Is the lift working?",he asked the man who nodded in a yes.
Arnav got into the lift and pressed the button to take him to the 3rd floor. He walked through the corridrs,got into his house and locked himself up. He looked around the living room. Everything had been neatly placed,at its place.
"Why that ourburst Arnav! Why do you care? let her go ! Why are you feeling so tensed! STOP IT ARNAV!",he said to himself.
He went inside his room, opened the drawe and took out a photo frame. Tears welled in his eyes as he saw her in his arms.
"Priya...",he whispered.
He brushed his fingers over the photograph and witha heavy heart kept it back inside. He lay on the bed thinking about whats going on. He remembered Khushi's giggle, her laugh, her stupid jokes and her smile... being near her made him feel that Priya was with him. He didn't know why. What he was feeling was beyond an explanation. he shook his thoughts away.
He went to the kitchen to grab something to eat. On the slab, there was a sandwich neatly done and served on the plate.
"Khushi..",he whispered.
"Damn it! I have to find her",he said and walked out of room. As he was going to the lift he saw a small lump sitting near on the stairs. He heaved a sigh of relief as Khushi sat there quietly,her hands wrapped around her knees.
He walked towards the stairs and sat beside her. Khushi felt someone beside her and slightly turned. She instantly looked away on realising who it was.
"Khushi",Arnav said, expecting her to say something but she was quiet.
He shut his eyes as he remembered what he had said to her.
"Go find some other guy to sleep with! U got that?"
How could he say that, damn it Arnav!,he cursed himself. He had to apologise.
"Khushi.. I ... didn't mean to... uh.. I am.. umm...",he struggled with words but couldn't come up with the right ones.
"Leave it. You can't say sorry",she said softly looking away from him.
Arnav stared at her. Again she did that!
"How do you know what I am thinking?",he asked.
Khushi turned to look at him. Her eyes seemed to pierce through his soul. there was something about it. He felt an urge inside him to move the hair treses behind her hair. He at once shut his eyes. Control yourself Arnav,whats happening to you!,he shouted mentally at himself.
He turned to look at her and at once wished he didn't. There was an unknown bond between them and the thing he was despising the most was that he was liking it.
