Hey guys!! Here's the next update. I know I am late. I was a bit busy with my exams and other personal stuffs. I tried to make this a long update… But I am not sure if it has turned out that well…
A/N: Not Proof-read.
Khushi walked into his cabin and scanned the room. It was small and cosy. A table in the centre with his stuff spread out on it. A lamp at one corner of the end made his room look elegant. No one would feel that this belonged to the Doctor. He was sitting right in front of his table, working on his laptop. He looked all the more adorable. His hair was neatly gelled up and he looked a perfect gentleman.
"Hey Doc…."
Arnav looked up from his laptop and amiled at her. he couldn't help but smile at her.
"Hey…."
"You are a very good Doctor…."
"Is that an Irony?" Arnav grinned lifting his brows.
"Not at all… I mean what I say… you are a very good Doc and a person as well.." Khushi said as she sat down in front of him. Arnav watched her as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. He had always had a feeling to touch her hair. Her shoulder-length hair looked so smooth and shining. It made her look all the more attractive.
"Thank you so much Ms. Gupta…"
Arnav smiled at Khushi who returned him the same.
"Coffee?" Arnav asked.
"Yeah sure…"
Arnav picked up his Intercom and asked Myra to send in two coffees.
The coffee arrived in a little while and the two had it with some random talks.
"So Khushi…. Who's at your place?"
The question was a sudden one. It look a little longer for Khushi to process what he had asked.
"Huh? Its just me, My Brother NK and My Best friend Meera…."
Meera… Arnav felt a sudden familiarity at the mention of the name. He hadn't even met her. But the whole situation felt weird. Khushi could see him fidegeting at his seat. She could make out that he was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She trailed off from the topic and changed the topic.
"So Arnav…. What does your sister do? As in Job?"
Arnav turned to look at her. he had expected this question of her.
"Khush… My Di is expecting a baby! She's three onths now!"
Arnav said as a smile curved his face as his sister's name escaped his mouth. Khushi could make out that happiness in his tone.
"Then what the hell are u doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your sister? She needs you!!"
Khushi said as her eyes almost popped out of its place.
"Relax Khush… I know she needs me. I'll be there soon. Besides Rishi can take good care of her." Arnav said without any sense ofnervousness or fear.
"What?? Anyways… suit yourself!!" saying it Khushi turned to her side of the widow and gazed out. The cool breeze made her hair wave in it. Her shoulder-length hair. Arnav felt a sudden urge to touch it. Unable resist himself, he lifted his hand and touched her haid tucking it behind her ear. Khushi was taken aback by this sudden behavior of his. It was the least expected by her.
"Ar- Arnav… what… what are u doing?" Khushi managed to fumble with her words.
Only Arnav realized his actions and immediately withdrew his hand from her. He hadn't meant to do that. He looked away from her, guilt overtaking him. He had seen her fidget and a tear in her eyes. No… he hadn't meant to hurt her. Khushi on the other hand, turned away from him, too shocked to react. The rest of the ride was a silent one.
The two reached their apartments and walked upto their floor. While entering her flat, Khushi stooped and turned to look at Arnav who was already looking at her.
"I-I- I am really sorry…. I didn't mean to behave that way. I really am sorry…."
Arnav looked straight into her eyes. Her eyes were wet. Damn it! He hadn't meant to hurt her.
"Its… Its okay… Its okay Arnav.."
Before he could wish a good night, Arnav heard the slamming of the door right in front of him. He had expected this. He wasn't at all shocked. He had seen the fear in her eyes. And he really regretted what he had done.
= || =
Khushi had slammed the door on his face. She hadn't meant to be that rude. Not that she was a very polite and humble person but she hadn't wanted to be so mannerless to him.
She ran to her room and resting on her bed. her head against the head board, lost in her own thoughts.
What was I doing? How could I let this happen? I cant bear it anymore. I cant get hurt once again. I know he would hurt me. And I don't have the patience and capacity to undergo everything once again. I… I cant…
Khushi rummaged her thoughts. It hadn't even been a week with him. She hardly knew him for that matter. No. Her phone rang. It was Meera.
"Khushi?"
"M- Meera?"
"Khushi.. whats the matter? Why do I feel that you are tensed? Is it something?"
"Woh…. Actually…"
"Khushi… don't pull it. Just spit it out, will you?"
And then Khushi narrated the whole thing to Meera. The latter paid heed to every word of Khushi's with extra attention. And Khushi knew that Meera was the only one who could help her.
"I am coming back Meera…"
"Khushi… don't you think you are over-reacting? Come on lady!! He just tucked a lock of hair behind your ear!! And he apologized! What else do you want him to do? Khushi… listen to me.. I know you are scared. I know you are afraid. But jaan… you cant keep running away from things. You need to face them. And this Doctor guy is one among them. Khushi… I don't know why…. But I feel that you can trust him…"
"Trust him on what Meera?"
"Umm… when I say that you can trust him, that doesn't mean the way you think. I mean that he wont hurt you. I don't know why… but I just feel that he is nothing like Karan…."
"I know… He is nothing like Karan…"
Meera could feel a smile on Khushi's face even through the phone.
"Lo… my girl's smiling now!! Problem solved! Ab so ja.."
"Meera… Thank u…" was all Khushi could say.
"So ja… Pagal…"
Khushi put her phone down and pulled her quilt up. She would sleep today.

Walking past the kitchen, Arnav made his way to the bedroom and made himself comfortable. The happenings of evening had some ehat afftected him. He had to let it out. He had to share with someone. And all he had was his black diary.
Using his insanity and tumbling across his bed, Arnav reached to the other side and pulled out his diary. And like always his pen was missing.
"Damn yaar!! Mera pen kahan gaya?!"
Too lazy to get up and walk, he fumbled his draw and finally succeeded when he pulled out a pen.
"Gotcha!!"
Hey D!!
Howz u? Today… I don't know if it was good. I shamelessly entered into Khushi's place and made us some coffee(Yeah.. I know I am insane), took her to the hospital along with me. I had a session with Kiran. And you what? When I came out of my session and saw Khushi.. I could feel the pain she felt. Don't ask me what the pain was about coz I don't know… but I felt as if she was satisfied. As if she had been a part of my session. So this was about the morning.
Now comes the drive-back-home part, where I showed my stupidness.
She was gazing out of the window and her hair was like flying. And I know why, I suddenly felt the urge to tuck it and the stupid me did exactly the same thing. I know its not a big deal. But for her it is. She was broken. I could see the tears brimming in her eyes… I swear D… I didn't mean to do that. I had no intention of hurting her feelings. I don't know why I did that. I mean I know why I did that but I don't want it to turn out that way…
I hope tomorrow makes everything okay. I hope everything returns to normal tomorrow. And I hope I don't do anything stupid tomorrow…
Good Night D!!
Arnav.
So that was it… Hope u liked it….
