ArHi FF: Stand By Me Chapter 1

The damn police didn't know that it wasn't Arnav's fault , it was Shyam's fault. Shyam had tried killing him and in self defense he had shot him. He finally found a hut in the nearby forest. His sugar level was dropping and he needed his medicine , but it wasn't possible. He walked into the hut to find it abandoned. He sat down on a haystack and took out his wallet.He had 5000 rupees enough to keep him going and a picture of Khushi. He looked at her picture and cried…

"Where are you Khushi ? It's been three years … I need you more than anything right now …"

Khushi had left the Raizada Mansion 3 years ago , the whole house became dull without her. Arnav became a walking corpse , he engaged himself in work to get her off his mind , but some great person said "You can only truly forget something , if you WANT to forget it!" and the truth was Arnav didn't want to forget Khushi.

Arnav snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the voice of an officer

"Inspector Saab , he's somewhere here , I've seen him."

"Dammit!" Arnav muttered before making a run for his life.

"Under the law , section 18 , stanza 9 Innocent until proven guilty . " Khushi said while

adjusting her glasses. She grabbed a cup of a coffee and yawned.

"Chashmish ,come on , take it easy!" Said Samrat.

"And become like you ?" Khushi answered back.

"Offense taken."

Khushi laughed and ruffled Samrat's hair. Gosh ! How much she had loved her best friend…loved as in friend love…not that 'love' ,after her horrific past in Raizada Mansion with 'him' she swore she'd never speak of him again or think of falling in love again. And If it wasn't for Samrat she would've been lying out on the road or dead probably…he helped her to get back up when the world pushed her down. He made her dream of a bright future and he convinced her to resume her studies.

"Oh crap ! It's already 10 , Samrat ,aren't your parents home ?"

""Yupp!" Samrat replied.

"Well then go… what are they going to day if they know you were at my house this late?"

"Nothing."He said smirking.

"Oh Shut up! Go home, get some sleep , we have our final exams all this week."

"Like I care."

"Ughhh " Khushi groaned while Samrat flashed his killer smile.

"Okay ,I'll go since you wouldn't be able to study with such a handsome face next to you."

"Bye see yah!" Khushi said opening the door.

"Bye "

Arnav quickly ran and he realized he was close to a house , he would seek shelter there . He prayed for someone to be home.

He ran and rang the doorbell.

His eyes were closing and he was fighting to keep them open. But he got the shock of his life when he looked up to see who had answered.

"Khushi ?!"
