Boss: Khushi I want you in my cabin right now

In the cabin:

When she went outside she saw arnav standing on the pavement, she approached toward him and gave a heart-winning smile

Khushi: you are still here?

Arnav: ya I though you would need a ride

Khushi: how did you know my boss would ask me to leave?

Arnav: stop questioning and get in the car

Khushi: weird person…

Arnav: would you stop calling me that?

Khushi: calling what?

Arnav: wired person

Khushi: when did I?

Arnav: now stop lying, I saw you murmuring to yourself… not once but twice and including this, it's the third time

Khushi: What's wrong with me calling you a weird person, it's a fact that you are weird

Arnav: just how long do you know me?

Khushi: since last 7 hours.

Arnav: Khushi you're unbelievable

Khushi: excuse me?

Arnav: so you were counting the hours?

Khushi: And you were counting how many times I called you a weird person?

Arnav: Khushi I think you need rest…

Khushi: but you didn't answer me

Arnav: I don't think there is a need, now get in the car I will drive you home

Khushi: you won't drive me home, you would drive me crazy

Arnav: Khushi one more word and I'm leaving you here

Khushi: fine, why are you being so angry?

Arnav: Khushi, in right now

Khushi: yes sir, I mean Arnav

She gets in and monitors the car and then played some music from the car audio player …

Khushi: it's all classic music

Arnav: yup… you don't like it?

Khushi: these are my favorite songs, seems like our choice in music is same, by the way I love your car…

Arnav: I though you would like your boyfriend's red Ferrari car more

Khushi: did you just said boyfriend?

Arnav: yup, what wrong with it?

Khushi: he was not my boyfriend

Arnav: then?

Khushi: he was my jiju, my best friend and my boss payal's boyfriend, they were passing by so they picked me up as well

Arnav: oh I see

Khushi: wait, how did you know they came to pick me up in red Ferrari car?

Arnav: I was...Umm opening the window and I saw you down there

Khushi: oh okay

It was absolute silence, she was very quiet by now, and the car was noiselessness. He felt something odd as she would never be quiet until someone hit off the mute button, so he took a glance at her and realized that she was out for the count, she was sleeping very peacefully. He gazed at her affectionately and emotionally when a hair falls on her face blocking his view. He gently removes her hair with his hand and put back in place. He softly patted her on the shoulder.

Arnav: Khushi…

She did not rouse so he determines to carry her home. When he reached outsides of her house, he ascertains that he had not sustained her house door keys. In spite of Knowing that she placed her keys in her bag, he did not examine her bag; hence he carries her to his home. He positions her on his bed and stares at her for a short period of time. As being aware of the fact that he won't be able to control himself, he hurriedly budges from there as he odour her fresh blood.

When she arouse from her sleep, she saw him standing beside the window…

Khushi: what are you doing in my house?

Arnav: oh you're awake, for your kind information, it's my house

Khushi: what am I doing here?

Arnav: you fall asleep in my car, remember?

Khushi: you could have taken me to my house

Arnav: I did but I didn't have your door key

Khushi: it was in my bag, you could have searcher for it

Arnav: ya so later when you lost something, you could blame me?

Khushi: why would I do that?

Arnav: you could leave now, it's already 11:55 at night

Khushi: no I'm not going to leave; I want to see if you really can't hear the noises at night
