Hate that I love you!!

Hola you guyses!!!

Harshu has decided to start one more FF!!!

I'm hoping that y'all are as excited as I am. And not an expression like 'Ugh! Not her again!!'

Anywho, here's the list of the characters, and a prologue.

Hope you like it!!!

• Arnav Singh Raizada (26): A self- made successful business tycoon. As authoritative and ruthless as they come. Doesn't care a tiny rat's ass about anything or anyone, except his sister, Anjali Jha, who is happily married to Shyam Jha, a successful lawyer, and handles the legal department of AR designs too. (That's right! No evil snake here!!)

• Khushi Kumari Gupta (20): Pretty much the same girl on the show, but is studying for her degree in Fashion Designing, in National Institute of Fashion Technology, Delhi. (I have to tell you that I don't like the way the CVs have made her a gawaar on the show!! "PONE" for Phone??!! Seriously???!!!). She stays as a Paying guest, and search a job for herself, as she has to help her sick father in running the family.

• Payal Gupta (22): Khushi's elder sister, who is very sensible, and works as a teacher currently in Delhi. Loves Khushi like her own sister. Stays with her best friend Lavanya, in a tiny apartment.

• Lavanya Kashyap (22): Payal's best friend since childhood. Moved to Delhi from Lucknow, when she was 15. But never lost touch with her friend. Currently dating Steve. And is head over heels in love with him. And the feeling is mutual. She works for ASR, and doesn't give a sh*t to the angry ASR. (Much to Arnav's annoyance!!). Comes from a very financially sound family.

Khushi's parents stay in Lucknow, with Buaji.

In this FF, Khushi, Payal and Lavanya are very close, and you'll be seeing the just-us-girls times very often. Later don't complain that you were expecting ONLY ArHi!!

All the other characters are the same. Gottie???

Prologue

Khushi sat with Payal and Lavanya, wondering how they both could be BFFs!! [Best Friends Forever, if you didn't know] They were as different as chalk and cheese! Yet they were inseparable, and now she was one among them too.

They sat on a bench outside the temple, discussing the plans of where Khushi should stay. Payal and Lavanya stayed in a tiny apartment, in which there was no way that another member could fit in. And hence Khushi was put up as a Paying guest in a comfortable home, which was run by an old couple.

These discussions had been going on and on and on since she had moved to Delhi, to start her studies. She was in her third year now. One more year and her degree would be completed. But she doubted whether these discussions would ever cease to exist!

"Payal! I'm telling you! I'll buy a pent house apartment, and we can all live happily!! Tell you what we can even start our families there!! Its my money and I can spend it as I wish!!" Lavanya told Payal for the umpteenth time, and Payal sternly shook her head saying, "There's no need to waste a good bunch of money. No matter whose it is. Khushi. Can you stay for a month more as a paying guest?"

"Of course I can, jiji. Don't you worry. . ." Khushi tried to ease the situation, knowing that this was going to turn into a verbal war in between her sister, and her best friend. Yet again!

"Look at you!! Perfect sisters!!" Lavanya said in an acerbic tone. Payal and Khushi looked at each other, and Khushi pursed her lips to stop herself from laughing at Lavanya's angry face, as Payal started to console her friend. "It isn't like I don't want a better place to live in, Lavanya. You think I like to live in a place which sounds more like a fish market?! I'd like to live with my sister too. We'll find a good place for lease or for rent, and then we'll move! Oh. . . . And you're supposed to meet Steve tonight. Don't you want to get ready??"

At the mention of Steve's name, Lavanya sprang to her feet. Khushi looked at Payal and they both smiled knowingly. Lavanya and Steve were seeing each other since 4 years, and had had EVERY experience a couple should have. And yet they behaved all mushy around each other. Sometimes a little too much!!

Khushi waved to them, and was going down herself when she remembered she had left her books on the bench. She turned to go back when she saw her. A woman, balancing a heavy thaal in one of her hand and held her saree up with another, was limping down the stairs. Khushi, being a clumsy idiot herself, knew the woman would soon miss a step or trip, and she prepared to help her, when it actually happened.

"Careful!!" Khushi helped the woman who had missed a step, as Khushi's prediction came true. Her own foot felt crushed as it unsteadily slipped to the next landing in the stairs. The two women gripped each other and breathed in shock, before the woman looked at Khushi and her face broke into a radiant smile.

They both stood properly, as the woman asked, "Are you alright?" and Khushi simply nodded and asked the woman the same question.

"I'm good too, all thanks to you. My brother is usually on this duty. But he doesn't seem to be here. . . . . . Aah. . . There he is!!" the woman said, as Khushi turned to see a gorgeous male species of a man standing at the foot of the stairs, looking very fixedly at the woman, and now at her.

Arnav Singh Raizada!

He was one among the topmost designers in India.

"Are you done with Darshan?? We can drop you home. Where do you live?" The woman broke into her train of thoughts.

Khushi quickly said that she'd go by herself, but told the kind woman where she was put up at the moment.

"Arre!! You stay right next to us!! I'm Anjali, by the way." Anjali said.

Khushi told her name, and said, "We don't have any building on the left. But there's a huge mansion on the right. . . ."

"That's right!! That's where I live!!!" Anjali exclaimed, as she took Khushi's hand and tugged at her, forcing Khushi to join them.

"I'll just get my books!!" Khushi exclaimed, and came back to where Anjali and her fashion designer brother were standing, and it looked like they were having an argument! "Chale Khushiji??" Anjalli asked in excitement, and Khushi would have gone happily too, for meeting such a nice lady had put Khushi in a very good mood. Except for the repulsive look Arnav Singh Raizada gave her at that moment, and her good mood went out of the window, and she frowned, wondering if she had accidentally ran over his cat!!!

Alright. I seriously wish you liked it. 😳

People who do not get PMs from me and would like them, buddy me. 😃

Only if you want to read further. Or else me just sending PMs to you, and not getting any response would be so sad, and I'll have to take you off my buddy list, myself. I hope I never get to do that, though!! 😲 😳
