-Chapter 9-

"Will You be my Girlfriend?" as much intensely Arnav had uttered those words, Akash gulped at his behalf too not knowing if the guy had actually planned to leave the world taking him along.. so soon!

Akash budged Arnav while he was as if petrified, not at all caring to look anywhere else other than her face which suddenly changed its expression which turned from shock to anger.

"What.Nonsense.Is.This? Go and Joke on someone else.." Khushi said overcoming her anger and making Arnav raise an eyebrow at the same time as she turned, lone to be pulled back by the tug on her wrist.

Akash's verve again stuck in his throat and to save it, he spoke up before Arnav could even open his mouth and makes sure of getting them both strangled by Khushi.

"it's not a joke Khushi." Akash spoke seriously, whereas sighing Arnav sat back at his place. and Khushi abstracted her eyes at him and subsequently back at Akash, who resumed speaking.

"No way! Ask Anjali.. I'm already too bad at acting and pretending." Khushi replied to Akash's appeal.

Akash rolled his eyes, "I'm not asking her! and, no one is telling anyone about this too!" he said looking, fatally at the two while they gestured in accord, "and waise bhi, Kya Hai tumhein, You're getting Such a BF.. What else can you wish for?" Akash teased, winking at her.

Khushi congested the physics book and started beating Akash with it. "but.. Arnav and Me?! like.. seriously." Khushi said approaching to a halt.

"So what's the problem.. You being my Girlfriend?" Arnav asked bluntly and took the book out of Khushi's grasp while the next voice shook the three.

"What.. When! HOW?!" Anjali said entring in but her query fell on deaf ears as Khushi just quickly hugged her, "Good Morningg!" she wished.

"Forget the morning.. enlighten me, You..&-" pointing a finger at Khushi and then turning to Arnav, "Arnav, When & How? But.. but.. Gosh! You didn't told me?" Anjali complained with mocking anger still surprised. In reply, Khushi muttered to herself, "I myself came to know now, tumhein kya bataoun." Anjali asked her if she said something and Khushi denied.

* * * * * * *

One by one, Shayam, Nk and at last Payal were surprised by this new piece of news and according to Akash's plea none of these were told about the actual stuff. Anjali was busy trying to tease Arnav while Payal was so shocked to say something as she knew Khushi and her anger. No one told Aman and others and as it was not essentially true, three of them not sought to it to be known by all.

Nk decided to keep quiet, but Shayam did the reverse, He would call out "Khushi" and then by pantomiming, ask her if that's true or not and this made her much annoyed. It was in addition noticed by Arnav.

* * * * * * *

"feww.." Khushi sighed as she finally managed to get the topic buried for sometime and pushed all out to the assembly ambit. However, It wasn't that Khushi denied because she was scared or she felt uncomfortable, If she hadn't found Arnav to be her Best friend.. Yes! Best friend.. that's what she actually considered him now. Thus, she would've happily acted but 'Nooo' she chided inwardly. She was just scared that this acting thing doesn't brings any change in their friendship!

Her biggest fear.

* * * * * * *

Later that day, Anjali and Khushi were discussing something while Payal was finishing her work back in the class and Boys were busy with football.

The ball went past Khushi while she glared at the individual who had kicked it, "Khushi" Arnav called out from distance and Khushi incoherent, "Daamn." and gestured, What?'

Arnav walked to where they were sitting. "Anji sit somewhere else yaar, and Yea, take her too." Arnav asked Anjali giving at glance at Khushi however Khushi stood up and argued, "No! We'll Not! Humari marzi, where ever we sit!" she said crossing her arms.

Arnav gave her an 'Unbelieveable' expression and said, "Damnit.. lagegi yahan! Go find yourself another place!"

"We know what we should do.. and what not. Don't order!" Khushi glared.

Arnav was about to converse when the football was about to hit Khushi but before Arnav & Khushi could register that, Shayam came and standing in front, kicked the ball back, "Ageh peche bhi dekh liya karo tum!" (look around too), he said giving a gaze to Khushi and went back. Arnav glared at Khushi and she opened her mouth to say something when Anjali cleared her throat.

"Stop making excuses to talk.. Guys! We're going.. " she said chuckling and turned holding Khushi's arm, "Come Khush.. let's go."

Shayam smirked seeing that Arnav didn't liked it a bit that Shayam came there. however, Arnav sensed his victorious smile. "Thanks Dude.."

"For?" Shayam questioned while Arnav simply indicated towards what happened a while back and Shayam had to nod.

* * * * * *

Anjali and Khushi returned back and the boys were also done with their match. Khushi was standing with her back facing them and talking to her friends while Arnav came there along with Aman.

"It was really Cool! You know.. " Khushi was talking about some place Anjali when she felt a tug at her hair from behind she turned around in anger, "Akki!" she warned assuming it to be Akash but till then, Arnav took the water bottle from her hand and Drank earning a glare from her whilst in return simply winked at her making her more irate.

"Arnaavv!" Khushi fumed and Arnav responded casually, "What?"

"Urgh!" she growled and Payal came asking for Sheetal and Nk, "Yaar see this.. They've drenched me with water, I'm not gonna leave them." she bewailed and went to look for for the doers.

Khushi smirked and Arnav tacit.. Taking the bottle, She followed Him, who had already went steps back concluding the reason behind the mischief written on her face.

"What the!" Arnav whined as he got some water at him.

Seeing Khushi coming Arnav started running as he was not at all in a mood to get drenched.

"Gosh! they just turn into kids.. tell me the difference between these two running and the younger." Anjali said in amusement, laughing when Khushi glared and scared the poor guy into whom she knock against.

Akash chuckled too, "Oh..Kay, tell me the difference between them and..." Akash spoke while Anjali looked at bemused, "You!" he concluded with seizing her diary and racing away while she too ran after him, "Nooo.. Yaar!! Give it back.."

* * * * * * *

Khushi was spurting glares at Arnav, who now ran back; Since during chasing him she'd tripped and procured a sprain in her foot. However, she sat down, thinning her lips. The rest, three came to her and As Arnav came and kneeled beside her, concern evident on his face, she emptied the water all at him leaving him all stunned.

"Sit right there.. I'm not helping her!" Arnav said standing up whilst glaring at Khushi, who gave a toothy smile at her victory.

Anjali tried to make Khushi stand, but she would only shriek and not compel her sprained foot.. they tried to make Khushi walk knowing it'll be alright but it didn't and the bell rang.

Anjali looked at the time hauling Arnav's wrist watch, "Uh-Oh.. I gotta go. remember i'm leaving early today."

"Okay then See you tomorrow!" Akash said. "Khush you okay..?" Anjali asked concerned.

Khushi smiled, "Yea.. It'll be.. You go!" Anjali nodded & turned to leave but stopped.

"Akash.. You too come! Did she told us about THEM.. No, Right?" Anjali related showing her bogus anger at Khushi and spoke further, "So.. Let Arnav Help her Now!" Anjali finished with a mischievous grin & left while Arnav gave a Lop-sided smile and Akash simply shrugged in restoration of the glare shot at him by Khushi..

"I'm Going to help her.. " Arnav assured and Akash went away thanking him.

"Want Help?" Arnav offered. "No thanks.. " Khushi denied embracing the pillar and gliding her feet in the air trying to get rid of the sprain.

"damn.. It's all because of you LG!" Khushi grieved sorrowfully.

"Me? I asked you to run after me?" Arnav questioned sarcastically.

He got hold of her hand, seeing her worthless attempts and entwined it with his, making her come to his feet.

"Arnav.. seee! i can't walk. You just leave.." Khushi said dejectedly looking at his face.

"Pehle feet tou neeche rakho.. then we'll see if you can walk." he smirked.

"Noo.. It'll hurt." Khushi said but seeing Arnav's straight face she fleetly did as he said.

Khushi fizzed and Arnav noticed that. In amidst, Sheetal came there searching for Arnav and observed both bickering.

She pivoted her eyes, "Ahem.. " Arnav and Khushi both looked at her.

"Arnav.. Principal was interrogating for you.." she informed, her gaze traveled at their hands, entwined and glanced at it intently and discerning that Khushi got her hand out of Arnav's. Before leaving Sheetal versed, "Um.. I'm also going yonder." Arnav just nodded and that and she left.

"What happened to you?" Arnav inquired Khushi and she nodded negatively.

Expecting Arnav to go, Khushi tried to walk though it was painful, but she did well. Arnav firstly, saw her going away but then went to her as she'd seriously twisted her foot.

"Arnav.. Your Sheetal must be waiting." Khushi joked and Arnav replied, "You're Right ! So let's leave you with everyone else and then, i'll go to her."

"You don't need to help me, Ok?" Khushi stated.

He was about to say, "I want to.. " when one of the heads came towards them and asked and Arnav told that Khushi got the sprain and he was helping her as there is no one else, "Oh.. Ok. So Go.. What are you both waiting for here? Move." the head commanded and they obliged.

"But.. Your Sheetal-" Khushi tried to argue again as they were at a distance but Arnav cut her off.

"Firstly, Cut this Crap! and Secondly Khushi right now, you are more important! Alright?"

* * * * * * * *

Khushi walked into the House and limped towards the stairs, only to stopped by Her Cousin sister, Sneha with whom her war was on these days.

"SSUURRPPRISEE!"

Sneha squealed and Khushi irritatedly, Turned back and asked, "Now Wha--" when the surprise truly surprised her!!
