Chapter 3: Repent

Those last words pierced Arnav's heart...and the worst part was, she was right.

Arnav walked over to the bench & sat down, trying to take in Khushi's harsh words. He closed his eyes shut & tried to think.

Khushi was right, she did so much for him...& she never even let him realize it. And he? He kept taking her for granted. Maybe because he never feared losing her...he never though Khushi would leave him.

He stood up in distress. How could he be so selfish? So ignorant?

Khushi couldn't possibly be wrong. What would Khushi get from lying to him? For Khushi, Arnav's happiness had been above everything else.

So then was Lavanya wrong? No, how could she be wrong? Lavanya is Arnav's love. Lavanya loved him more than anything in the world...his wealth, power & fame held no importance to her...she loved HIM for who he was. But then what about what Khushi had said in the car?

*Flashback*

"Look Arnav, I know you're upset that Lavanya left. But you have to understand, it was for the good!"

Arnav scoffed. "Whose good?"

"For YOUR good, for your family's good."

"And for your good...right?"

She hesitated. "Huh?"

"You love me, don't you?"

"...I don't know what you're talking about."

"You always had a thing against Lavanya. Don't try to be so innocent Khushi."

That's when she lost her calm. "Arnav! How blind can you be?! Don't you find it weird at ALL that your so-called love Lavanya left you as soon as she found out she can't get your money?!"

"That's not why she left me! She left me because YOU & my family insulted her!"

"Oh please Arnav! Don't tell me you fell for that lame excuse! Okay, let's say she was telling the truth, for argument's sake. Well if she truly loved you, would she leave you JUST because she was insulted? If so, then that's not true love. Open your eyes Arnav, that OGRESS was in love with your money not you!"

*End of flashback*

Arnav slightly laughed at the word Khushi had used...ogress. He hit himself on his head. Focus Arnav, he told himself.

Khushi doesn't love me, Arnav decided. She just has a misunderstanding about Lavanya. He needs to talk to Khushi... he needs to find out why she mistrusted Lavanya's intentions, but first he was going to have to prove himself worthy of being her friend...

His thoughts were interrupted when a guy ran into the haveli. "Khushi! Payal! Khushi!"

Arnav followed the guy inside to see what the commotion was all about.

"Mihir!!!!!!" Khushi ran down the stairs & threw herself on the guy. "I've missed you sooo much! Weren't you going to come the day of the engagement? You're early!"

"Stop calling me that! Call me M! & I decided to give you guys a surprise!" he winked.

M? What kind of name was that?! Hmph! He looks so stuck-up.

"M! You haven't changed at all! Payal Di's gonna LOVE this surprise!"

Khushi looked so excited...that twinkle in her eyes had returned. In fact, her eyes were sparkling with happiness. Arnav kind of wished he had been the one to bring that sparkle instead of that chipkoo M guy.

"Who's that cutie?" M asked looking over at Arnav. Cutie?! Which man in his right mind would call another man a cutie?! What a weirdo!

Khushi turned around to follow M's gaze. As soon as she saw Arnav, that sparkle disappeared. Her eyes were pale again & her face dropped. Arnav felt as if he was stabbed in the heart with a sword.

"No one important." Khushi answered. Arnav winced. Now he felt as if Khushi took the sword out & stabbed him in the same place again.

"M, let's go see Payal Di!" she said, dragging him up the stairs while M stared at Arnav.

"Payal Di!!" Khushi called out. "Diii!"
"Khushi! Stop yelling! You're gonna go deaf one day!" Payal shouted back.

"Tch, Di! Look who's here!"

"I swear Khushi, this better be worth my time! I'm so busy & ur- OH MY GOD! M!!!!!" Payal ran over & gave him a bear hug.

Khushi smiled. "Hope this was worth your time DI."

"I'm soo happy you came! I want to introduce you to Aakash." Payal jumped excitedly.

"K! Lemme go get fresh first hun! & Khushi! You never told me who that hottie was...you know the one that was 'no-one-important'?"

Khushi rolled her eyes. Girls were crazy over M's personality, his hot body & handsome face but unfortunately, he was gay. "He's not your type M."

M frowned. "Dammit! But still, who is he?"
"Arnav, my best friend" Khushi mentally added air quotes around best friend.

She remembered the way Arnav had winced when she said he wasn't important. It hurt her to see him hurt. Stop it Khushi, she scolded. Khushi had told herself repeatedly that she didn't love him anymore. But to her despair, his horror-struck face from the morning played over & over again in her head.

"Di, can you go show M his room? I have to work on the decorations for Wednesday."

"For the engagement? Cool, where are you holding the engagement?" M asked.

"In the main hall." Payal answered.

"Main hall? That's so boring!"

Khushi frowned. "I know right! But the Raizadas have requested to hold all ceremonies in this haveli. I prefer it to be in some place special...some place ROMANTIC."

"Arrey! Fikar not! I have an idea! Why don't we hold the engagement on the rooftop? That's romantic AND it abides the Raizadas' wish!" M suggested.

"OMG M!! That's an AMAZING idea!!!" Khushi jumped up excitedly. "I'm gonna go tell everyone!" she called out as she ran down the stairs to announce the news.

"ATTENTION everybody!!"

When Khushi was sure she had everyone's attention she announced "The engagement ceremony will be held on the rooftop!"

Rooftop? That's so filmy, Arnav smiled. Only Khushi would be able to think of that one. For Khushi, if it wasn't filmy, it wasn't good enough.

"This AMAZING idea was suggested by mine & Payal Di's special friend, M! Does anyone object?" she asked.

Arnav made a face. It was M's idea? Pshtt, what was so amazing about the idea? It was stupid! What if they got rained on?

Arnav desperately wanted to raise his hand & tell her the idea was goofy but Khushi looked so excited, she looked content after so many days.

He sighed. Even that M was a better friend than him...that M was capable of brining a smile to Khushi's face.

Arnav felt so useless. He looked down in shame & walked to his room.

It was 11 pm in the night now & Khushi hadn't seen Arnav ever since she announced the rooftop plan. Khushi had been dying to catch a glimpse of him...what?! No she hadn't! She didn't give 2 cents for that stupid Arnav.

Ever since last night, her throat felt so dry, hear head ache was gradually getting stronger & now even her stomach was making growling sounds. This was all side effects of the fight she had with Arnav, Khushi decided. Then she started feeling dizzy. Khushi gulped. She was on top of a ladder, she left as if she was about to fall & there was no one around. Khushi desperately tried to climb her way down but due to her dizziness, her foot slipped.

Arnav, from a distance, saw Khushi holding her head & trying to climb down the ladder. Her foot slipped, Arnav ran over to her & caught her just in time. But the ladder ended up hitting his upper forehead. "OUCH!" he yelled & kicked the ladder. Stupid thing! He carried Khushi up to her room & went to ask Anjali to come help him. Anjali was his older sister & happened to be a family doctor.

"Di! Khushi fainted." He told her. Arnav wanted to keep it between him & Di so that everyone else wouldn't be worried but leave it to his dramatic Di to ruin it.

"What?! KHUSHI FAINTED?!" that caught everyone's attention. Arnav hit his hand on the head. "Ouch!" he completely forgot the ladder had hit him.

Everyone ran over to him. "What happened to my darling Khushi?" M asked.

Arnav wanted to punch him in the face. HIS darling Khushi?!

"She was on the ladder & I think she felt dizzy so she tried to climb down but her foot slipped. I caught her just in time though & carried her over to her room." Arnav explained.

Okay, so it wasn't just his Di...the whole house was super dramatic. They acted as if Khushi had died or something.

Khushi woke up to everyone from the whole wedding house surrounding her bed. 3 faces stood out in the crowd.

Two were Payal Di & Anjali Di. As soon as she saw them standing there with their arms crossed & angry looks on their faces, Khushi wished she could faint again. She knew they were going to give her the "Why can't you take care of yourself?" lecture.

The third face was...him. He looked like he was going to die out of worrying too much. Khushi wanted to hold his hand & tell him she was okay. She immediately looked away from him. Stop it Khushi, she scolded herself.

"Umm...how long was I out for?" she asked innocently.

"About 3 minutes." Anjali Di answered, he face turned angrier.

"Oh." Khushi laughed nervously.

"Khushi, when's the last time you ate? Or drank?" Payal Di asked, with the same look as Anjali Di on her face.

...Oh fish! Khushi couldn't remember at all...not even the last time she drank water! She hadn't eaten the whole day, nor had she drank anything. Omfg! It wasn't just today; she hadn't had anything since yesterday afternoon. That explains her dry throat, the headache, & the growling stomach.

"I...was busy with the engagement decorations." Khushi confessed.

"Khushi!" Payal Di sat down on the bed. She looked like she was going to cry. "Stop over-working yourself for me!"

"Di! Don't feel bad. It's not your fault."

"She's right Payal. This is Khushi's fault. And I have a solution!" Anjali Di said in an angry tone. "Khushi will rest all of today & tomorrow! She is NOT going to help at ALL!"

"What?!" Khushi protested. "But Anjali Di!"

"Arrey Anjali, we're all going to be on the rooftop. Someone needs to stay with her & make sure she's okay. She looks weak, what if something happens again? Thank God Arnav was there for her this time or the ladder would've fell on her!" Payal Di said.

Arnav was there? Khushi looked at him. Arnav was looking down, trying to avoid eye contact. He had a huge red bump on this upper forehead. Khushi wanted to know what happened, but she didn't want to make him think she still cared for him.

Payal followed Khushi's gaze & understood.

"Arnav got hit by the ladder trying to help you." Payal informed.

Arnav looked up at Khushi & Khushi immediately looked away.

"Arrey haan! Let's have Arnav look over Khushi, it's not like Arnav does any work anyway!" Anjali suggested.

Khushi frowned. "No!"

"Why not?" Anjali Di crossed her arms again.

"I can take care of me by myself." She pouted.

"Arnav, will you stay & take care of Khushi tomorrow?" Payal asked, completely ignoring Khushi.

Arnav shrugged. "Sure."

"Then it's final." Payal answered, shooting Khushi a look. "You're not doing any work! We'll all be the rooftop, & YOU will be here resting!"

"M!! Help?" Khushi begged.

"Sorry sweetheart, I'm with your Di on this one!"

Khushi glared at Arnav crossed her arms & threw herself off the bed. "I'm gonna go eat!" she shouted.

Arnav smiled. He had Khushi all to himself tomorrow...not even M could ruin it now. He had all the whole day to prove himself a worthy friend to Khushi.
