Stuck In The Library
Khushi tired sleeping that night, but La's words refused to leave her mind. All her futile attempts failed.
"That's it! I need to calm down", Khushi sat up, walking up and down her room.
"Calm down Khushi, stop thinking about him" she sat own, breathing hard.
"Okay! This is not helping. There's only one way out of it." she changed into casuals and walked out.
"Everything will be fine Khushi, just relax." she was constantly consoling herself.

Arnav was sound asleep, a small smile lay on his lips. He woke up startled at the noise of the doorbell.
"Ugh! Who is it at THIS hour?" he growled.
Khushi waited outside impatiently.
Arnav opened the door mumbling something to himself. he was stunned to see Khushi waiting at the doorstep, looking anxiously at him.
"Khushi?!" he narrowed his eyes.
"Hey! Can I come in? I am freezing outside" she stammered and walked in pushing him aside.
"Is everything okay? You here at this hour?" he asked putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Yes, every thing is okay" she gave a faint smile.
"Khushi? What is the matter?" he gave her a stern look.
"I Love You!" she closed her eyes and blurted out.
He stood dumbstruck. He was surely not expecting this.
"I mean La made me realize that I am in love with you and I cannot live peacefully without confessing it to you. I have fallen for you but that shouldn't affect our friendship. Just because I love you doesn't mean you should love me too. In fact I want you to love me coz then you would wnat me to be in a relationship with you, we start expecting things from each other and if any of us don't live up to each other's expectations then things get ruined. And every thing sucks!" she sighed after such long explanation. She stared at him for few minutes, "Um, your cue", she smiled awkwardly.
He crossed his arms across his chest and stood in front of her, looking straight into her eyes."Well, if you don't want me to love you, if you don't want a relationship, then why did you even bothered to tell me all this? About your love for me, your feelings for me?"
"Coz I couldn't live peacefully, I would feel awkward every time am with you..I.." she stammered.
He cut her off. "And now that I know you love me, don't you feel awkward about it?" he narrowed his eyes.
"Err, its too late and I am sleepy, I'll talk to you tomorrow? Okay?" she smiled and walked away, although she was hoping to be stopped.

She came in locking the door behind her.
"You won't ask where I was?" she looked at La.
"I don't need to, coz I know where you were" La shrugged and left, while Khushi rolled her eyes.
Although she told him everything, she still felt incomplete, and uneasy. She was just not happy, and same was the case with him. He was restless and annoyed. He just didn't wanted things to shape up like this. He had to win her.

The next morning, La was reading the newspaper, lying cosily on the couch, when she heard the doorbell. She muttered something under her breath and opened the door annoyingly.
She changed her facial expressions in a fraction of second the moment her eyes fell on the handsome lean figure.
"Arnav?" she was surprised.
"Hey" he waved awkwardly.
"Could you please call Khushi? I need to talk to her." he requested with a soft smile.
La nodded and went in to call her.
"Khushii...there's someone for you at the door" La called out.
"Who is it La..?" she stopped on seeing La standing beside Arnav with a cheeky smile.
Khushi signaled La to leave them alone and La obeyed.
After a minute of awkward silence, he spoke.
"Hey!" he looked at her.
She wished back plainly."How are you?" she avoided the eye contact.
"What do you think?" he tilted his head.
She remained silent.
"Okay, lets stop pretending as if we don't know anything, and talk straight to the point." He initiated.
"Look Khushi, I always wanted to tell you this, but I never got a chance. I.." Arnav spoke in a husky voice which could drive any girl crazy.
"Please Arnav, don't" She stopped him.
He ignored her plea and continued. "You know, I got attracted to you the moment I saw you, then I started fighting with you coz I enjoyed it, then I became friends with you because we were destined to..and now I.." he was stopped again.
"Arnav I said don't." she sharpened her voice.
He moved forward, towards her, "And now I.. I Love You!" he finished.
"Even if you don't give me the right to love you, I will do so, coz you know something? I don't care about anything, but the girl in front of me. I don't need anyone, but the girl in front of me. I don't want anyone, but the girl in front of me. I don't love anyone, but the girl in front of me, and that girl is YOU." he looked intently at her.
"Just give a right to add Raizada to your name Miss. Khushi Gupta.." he had a hope in his eyes while she looked at him teary eyed. "Why is he so nice?" she thought to herself.
"I know you're scared of relationships, you're scared of making bonds with people. I know you're scared of another broken relationships. I know you are scared to break down again. But trust me once, and I will never let you regret. I will never let you have another broken relation. I will bring you out of your fear. Just believe in me once. Just once khushi..please" he choked.
He looked at her for an answer, a yes, but she stood silent, tears blurring her vision.
La hoped for a yes from Khushi, she crossed her fingers and looked on.
Not getting any answer from her, Arnav lost hope. He felt defeated. He couldn't stay back. He sighed and walked away, while Khushi looked at him, she wanted to stop him but she didn't. She looked at La who was cursing her for being so childish and stupid. She signaled her to stop him, but Khushi didn't budge. La glared and left too. Khushi's heart missed a beat when she heard the door locked. She looked around and realized what she just did.
"Just one chance Khushi, and I will never let you regret. I Love You" his words echoed in her mind.
She took in a deep breathe and ran out of the house. She looked around for him. He was walking straight up the street. She ran to stop him and pulled him through his shoulder.
"How dare you leave before hearing to my answer?" she scowled, while he looked on puzzled.
"How dare you? huh?" she shouted at him.
"I thought you.." before he could complete, his lips were already in her possession.
She locked her lips with his. She couldn't have given a better answer than this.
He took a minute to dig in the happenings. He curved his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. She enclosed her arms around his neck, kissing deeply.
They broke the kiss after a minute, out of breathe.
"Now you got your answer?" she raised her eyebrow.
"I couldn't have wished for anything more" he smilingly shook his head and kissed her forehead, pulling her into a hug.
