Awww... Poor Arnav's probably thinking Khushi would freak out about what almost happened, so he's lying to her about it meaning anything... He loves her as much as she loves him, they just don't know it yet..

Brilliant, brilliant SS.. Please do PM me with updates! :)

Hi Guys, this is the 6th chapter of the SS.

FOREVER, maybe'

Chapter 6

Arnav waited inside his room, his ears pressed to the door, trying to listen to Khushi. He had woken up really early but had not heard Khushi leave for her morning jog'.something that she never missed. Something was really wrong and it was all his fault.

K: "Arnav'get up'am leaving'"

He heard Khushi leave and tiptoed out into the living room. He sighed at how things had changed since their God forsaken kissing attempt rather kissing disaster. He moved towards the kitchen counter to find the bowl of yogurt and fruit sitting at it is.

'She had not had breakfast today.'

He sipped the mug of coffee from the counter and the events of the last two days set themselves on re-repeats in front of his eyes'yet again.

He had apologized to Khushi yesterday for his behaviour the night before. He had thought the situation through a hundred times before attempting the apology, but Khushi's reaction had not been from any of those hundred. Was it his imagination or did she actually cry hearing his words ? It must have been the one thousandth repeat telecast (in his mind) and he was not sure he could separate reality from fiction anymore. All he wanted was to see Khushi happy. Nothing else mattered. He could live with his feelings buried deep inside but Khushi had to be happy.

He wanted Khushi to share the same thing for him as he did for her. But he didn't think she would, 'coz he didn't think she should. After all he was a nobody; Khushi deserved someone really special in life. Someone who could make her happy, give her everything she could ever want. He on the other hand was this happy go lucky soul who Khushi had made a man out of. After all, it wasn't just from yesterday that he had been in love with Khushi. He had fallen in love not with this suave and sophisticated Khushi in pant suits but with a chubby, geeky girl 10 years ago in school.

Arnav's thoughts went back to their first meeting on the school grounds. He had teased her about her braces, her shyness and her hair, though he really liked her hair, even today. Any other kid in that situation would have fled out of sheer embarrassment but Khushi had held her ground. She had tartly replied that her orthodontic condition was none of Arnav's business and she really wondered how it was a source of amusement to him when clearly he knew that it cannot be anybody's first choice of a lifestyle.

His parents' divorce had taught Arnav that it was really difficult to hold up one's head and stand one's ground when you know that every other person is talking about you. He had adapted to the situation by turning into a bully and used his skills as a defense mechanism. Khushi had been an eye opener. She was almost in the same situation as him, fighting high school woes' but she had neither feigned strength nor run away, she had FACED the situation. The newfound respect for this girl made him curious. He had followed her around for a month before she became his best friend and it was about the same time he completely fell in love with Khushi. 10 long years, he still felt the same about her.

'How can she ever love me back? I'm an idiot who doesn't know anything of life. I can't even freaking get things done properly at home. I don't know how relationships work, my parents made that sure. And Rahul...what about him' I remember what happened to her the last time she was heartbroken'.I can't let it happen to her again'. She should be happy''

Arnav got up to keep the untouched breakfast in the refrigerator and he remembered he had forgotten to make her salad.

'Shit'!!!"

He would drop off the lunch of his way to the office. He got salad ingredients together quickly. Shredded chicken, broccoli, cucumber, carrot, jalapeo'bit of salt and pepper...a spoon of salad spread 'a bit of grated cheese and done. Arnav had learned that Khushi will eat grass if you add enough chicken and cheese in it. He smiled at himself at the thought' he wondered how he would pass on these information to the person she would finally choose to live with.

" Hi Arnav !!" sang out the 23 year old pretty receptionist Jenny Stine.

A: "Hi Jenny' how are you ?...can I say you just look lovely today..."

J: "Yeah sure'.you can say that'I, will however ask'.what have you come to drop off for Khushi??..." she said with a mischievous smile.

She had seen Arnav for two years now, every now and then, coming to the office for dropping off Khushi's lunch or medicine, to pick her up or to just gaze at her while she wrapped up her work, pretending to be very irritated at her long work hours. The man was so much in love and Khushi was so blind. She had tried flirting with him at first, because come on, he was sweet, charming and sexy in a rugged kind of way. But nothing ever registers in Arnav's mind with or without Khushi around. So she had given up her attempts and wished that Khushi realized Arnav soon, so that her sacrifice would not go in vain.

A: "You are such a sweetheart'can you please give Khushi her lunch?...she forgot..rather I forgot to make it for her last night.."

'The man made Khushi lunch'. At night'for her to take the next day'either the woman was completely blind or the man was impotent'there could be no other reason why these people were not together'
