Kria just smiled and got up from the bed and went to the shower and took a shower... finally, after 20 minutes, kria came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.. she saw that no one was there.. khushi wasnt there..but her eyes never fell on rey who was standing there trying to fix khushi's lamp whcih khushi was complaining wasnt working.. kria dried up her hair ignoring rey and when a wet drop of water fell upon rey's face, he looked up and saw kria standing there in a tower.. her slim legs wet and her neck filled with sweet dew.. then his eyes went on her lips and saw her pink, glossy lips with water on them.. he fell in deep thinking and suddenly, his eyes opened wide as he noticed that she was about to open the towel and reeady for change...he broke his silence and yelled "STOP KRIA.. STOP.." he closed his eyes...and then kria's eyes opened up and she looked back at rey whose eyes were closed... and she screamed on top of her lungs "AHHH!!"
Rey ran to cover up her mouth before his mother and sister came and got mad at him for disgracing the family's values and traditions...
"Shhh...plzz dont scream.. Look im really sorry.. I mean.. I was just fixing the lamp and I didnt know when you came out the shower.. Plz try to understand..." explained an embarrassed Rey whose hands were covering Kria's mouth stopping her to speak a word...
"mmm.." mumbled Kria as she tried to move rey's hand, but it failed, because he was pushing upon it hard touching her lips making him feel the eternal bliss inside him.. his touch was giving kria electric shocks in her body and she stood there shocked... finally rey noticed that he was pressing upon kria too hard and let go of his hand hoping she wouldnt yell anymore..
"im really really sorry kria.. really sorry... " he explained to her while she just looked at him with a shocked and terrified face... finally, she broke her silence when she heard steps coming upstairs and both of them got the worried look on their faces.. they heard khushi yell to her mom that she's going to take a shower... kria opened the door and pushed rey out before khushi was fully up on the stairs... rey rushed into the next door bathroom pretending that he never went into his sister's room... khushi came up and headed toward her room.. she opened it and found kria there in her towel..
"so your finally done.." asked khushi in sarcasam having an apple in her mouth...
"huh.. yeh.. go take your shower now and ill get ready.." kria replied while her mind and heart was just thinking about that moment with rey and how he had touched her lips.. his firm hands on her glossy wet lips.. she smiled on the thought of it.. khushi noticed the smile and asked kria what was going on, but kria ignored her and said that she remmebered a joke.. khushi ignored kria and left for the bathroom...kria stood there admiring herself and her fingers running through the parts where rey's hand had touched them.. on the other hand, rey stood in the bathroom staring at the mirror in guilt of what he had done and felt really sorry for kria... he decided to maintain his distance from his sister's best friend.. but he couldnt help but notice his slightly wet hand making him ponder about the moment he had touched her, her pink, tempting lips.. he shooed the thought out of his mind and himself took a shower...
both kria and rey got out of the rooms and collided in between.. they both looked at each other and then kria spoke up...
"its okk.. i forgive you.." hearing those words from kria's mouth gave rey a sense of relief and a huge smile came across his face.. rey said thanks to kria and hopped down the stairs for some breakfast... kria waited upstairs for khushi to get ready and come out.. it was morning and time for school... kria, khushi, and rey ate their breakfast and took their backpacks and headed out for the car which the driver had already kept ready for them... rey sat in front with the driver and kria and khushi sat in the back..
khushi went on her ipod touch which no one except kria and herself had access to, and it had a password as khushi didnt want her parents to know who her cover was.. it was none other than arnav... the arnav singh raizada... khushi opened it and looked at her cover and smiled.. in her head she whispered good morning to arnav and then plugged in some earphones in her ears listening to some good music... she gave one earphone to kria so she could hop onto the music and listen on too.. kria and khushi sat their putting their heads back enjoying the music...finally, school had arrived and all 3 of them got out the car and headed out to their classes and rey headed toward his guy friends.. while kria and khushi stayed back gathering all the stuff they had brought for today's english class presentation...
kria and khushi went to their english class where arnav was sitting around with his friend samrat... khushi sat on her assigned seat near arnav and kria went to sit near other classmates who she didnt talk to much... khushi sat there uneasy as she was really nervous about the presentation as she had stage fright... she wasn't always scared.. in fact khushi was a care free child in her earlier school days in 1-6 grade.. but as soon as she came into high school, she started worrying about her weight and how people looked at her on stage.. waht image they had formed.. this caused her self confidence to decrease and her stage volume decreased too... armaan saw how scared khushi was looking so he whispered a joke to her which made her smile and laugh.. arnav noticed this and whispered to khushi passing a rude comment on her and armaan... khushi's mood detoriated and right then.. the teacher called her name for her presentation.. her heart sank as she slowly got up...
armaan gave her motivation telling her to ignore the audience and just concentrate... khushi went up in front of the class and gave her speech on the topic of romeo and juliet... her theory on love surprised everyone... she looked upon kria and armaan who gave smiles in return to her telling her that she's doing a fabulous job.. and then in the middle of her sentence, she saw arnav.. he was laughing and whispering things to samrat... khushi felt bad... he thought that he was talking about her and this made her fumble in her presentation and mess up her lines... she forgot her lines and blanked out completely.. she realized that since a long time she had been rambling about nothing... she finally came to her senses when she saw the teacher writing her grade on a piece of paper.. she gulped down and out of nervousness, she just ended the presentation saying thank you everyone, and speed walked to her desk...
she looked at kria who nodded in disapproval with the fact that arnav had such an effect on khushi... kria knew that khushi had messed up because of arnav... then khushi looked upon armaan who was looking at her... just giving her the cold stare and his looks said it all.. he was really disappointed in her.. then khushi frowned and turned to arnav sitting on the right of her,.. he was smiling and giving khushi a taunting look telling her how much of a failure she was... this made her lose her confidence even more and she broke into silent tears which were inside her heart.. she couldnt think how much arnav was effecting her now.. she realized this was going overboard and had to stop.. but everytime, her heart just searched for arnav no matter how much he had been hurting her...
finaly, english class ended and khushi got up and looked for kria and armaan.. but then she saw both of them walk out of the class without her.. she cried her heart out and was going out the door when she heard her name being called...
"Khushi...come here my dear.." called her teacher who had a worried look on her face...
Khushi walked upto her teacher and her eyes were facing the marble floor... She didnt have courage into look into the blue hazel eyes of her teacher..
"Dear, what is up with you.. You start off great and then.. it seems you lose confidence...or something... you need to build up your confidence.. dont worry about the audience. just give your best.. promise me that you will..." said the teacher pulling khushi's chin up and meeting her eyes with the little girl's eyes... khushi nodded in approval which lead a smile on her teacher's face and she let khushi go out not wasting her lunch time... khushi walked out the classroom and headed towards her usual lunch spot where all her friends hung out... in between, arnav and his gang came and surrounded her... arnav... riddhima... samrat.. angad... and a few other boys were circuling around her now... she felt weird and suffocated... then arnav broke his golden silence...
"so khushi.. what did the teacher say.. you lack confidence.. haha. of course you would.. only good looks provides confidence.. tell me what you have. hahaa" arnav joked around and his friends continued to have a good laugh with him making the poor khushi feel terrible...khushi felt a tear drop by from her eyes.. that tear drop didnt escape arnav's keen eyes... "oh look guys now. poor fatty is crying now.. haha.." arnav laughed around... suddenly, khushi felt a firm, strong hand grab her wrist... she slowly picked up her eyes from the ground and noticed that it was none other than armaan... and kria was standing there behind him... she gave a smile to khushi which somewhat consoled khushi at a point... armaan got khushi's wrist and pulled her out of the circle which had been created by arnav...
"oh look.. her ultimate savior is here.. her boyfriend.. armaan malik..hahaha.." arnav laughed on more...
"oh shut up you jerk.. what will a guy like you understand khushi's importance and how big friendship is.. everything is just a freakin joke for you.. go and mind your own business.. and stop picking on the weak.. go pick on someone your size.. " armaan exclaimed at arnav who was furiated by armaan talking to him like that... arnav clenched his hands and closed them into a fist... armaan took out khushi frm that trouble and started walking away from the jerk... arnav who was boiling up, went behind armaan to give him a fist punch.. armaan had sensed the steps coming behind him and he bent down not realizing that khushi had been standing there... arnav stood in despair and formed an O shape with his mouth... he hadn't expected this... the punch, instead of landing on armaan's face, it had landed onto the poor khushi's face... khushi stood there with her hand on her red, burning cheeks... armaan bent back up laughing at arnav who had missed out badly but then he noticed that arnav wasnt looking at armaan.. he was looking behind him.. he was shocked and then slowly turned around to see khushi's hands red and her hand covering the big marking made by arnav's punch...
kria looked over frightened and went to console khushi... armaan's eyes widened up seeing that his best friend had been just punched.. arnav felt really bad as he had never intended to hit a girl... kria put her hand over khushi's hand...
"OH my gosh khushi.. let me see.. move your hand.." asked the worried kria as she looking upon khushi.. khushi stood there realizing the pain her love has just caused her... tears scrolled down her eyes looking for a path to go.. pain overtaking her body and making her face feel awful... armaan put his hand over khushi's making a instinct to move her hand so he could see her face... she slowly moved her hand down her face as tears continued coming down... armaan and kria were left in awe as they saw khushi's left side face had turned blue and swollen.. arnav choked seeing that and gulped on hard realizing what he had just done.. he had gone against his values and hit a girl.. he extended his hands towards khushi making an effort to apologize.. but it went in vane when armaan threw his hand away from khushi and commanded him to go away from here or it will be really bad... arnav feeling sorry and seeing khushis' tears and bruised up face went away from there...
kria and armaan took khushi to the nurse and were about to explain the whole incident when khushi interrupted in between saying that she hit a rod on the stairs,.. kria was shocked to see khushi still making up for arnav's mistakes... the nurse applied medicine on her face and bandaged that part of the injury... kria tried to explain to khushi that she stop it now and speak up and tell on arnav.. but she refused.. armaan shook his head and got mad and khushi and left out the room.. armaan had zoomed off not noticing arnav who was standing there keeping an eye on khushi and he felt sorry for her and wondered why she had saved him.. he had been such a jerk to him and she had saved him.. he saw taht and felt so guilty that he just ran away from there and went home early...
khushi also went home early accompanied by kria who was supporting her... khushi ran upstairs to her room and kria tried to keep up with her... khushi shut her room before kria could enter in.. kria slapped the door trying to explain to khushi that she should open up.. but it was no use... finally, kria felt the house door open.. she peaked in to see that rey was home...she ran downstairs to rey panicking and huffing and puffing.. she caught up her breath when she reached upto him..
"woah woah.. kria.. whats wrong dear.. are you okk." rey asked kria as she frantically appeared in front of him out of no where...
" rey.. rey.. rey.. woooh.. khushi.." as soon as rey heard his sister's name, he immediately knew there was a problem, so he ran up the stairs causing kria to keep up with him.. he slammed the door and begged khushi to open it.. finally, nothing worked so he said " khushi open the damn door, your're sweared on me...open it now damn it.." yelled rey as a worried look crossed his face...
finally, he heard the room's lock opening up, and the door creaked open... rey was shocked to his sister in that state...
