Chapter#2
Khushi got down the stairs lazily in the morning. She didn't know when she slept. When she woke up her head was heavy and her eyes swollen & red. When she looked at herself in the mirror she was shocked. She was a wreck. Her long brown hair was messed up in a bun, her cheeks were stained with dry tears, and her lips were just dry. She wouldn't do this to herself, Khushi thought. She washed her face thoroughly and then she had stepped out of her room making a decision that she won't ruin herself. Not that she is ever going to see Arnav anyway.
"Morning!" - Mrs. Gupta smiled charmingly and kissed Khushi on her cheek.
"How was yesterday night?" - Siddharth laughed sarcastically.
"It's such a nice day! Don't ruin it by passing remarks to each other Siddharth." -Mrs. Gupta glared at him. "And for you Khushi, I can't see my daughter staying at home all alone and being like a..." -Mrs. Gupta continued but Siddharth cut her off.
"...Like a Forever alone person?" -He laughed to himself.
"One more word and you're grounded." -Mrs. Gupta said.
"But... you can't just..." -Siddharth said becoming alert.
"For a month. So watch it." -Mrs. Gupta said and turned to Khushi again. "Yeah... I as saying, you have your going to have exams by the end of March right?" -Mrs. Gupta stopped and continued as Khushi nodded. "And I know you've already studied so for now you can go have some fun. Go meet your friends, go to the beach or something? Also go to the market and get me some grocery?" -Mrs. Gupta advised and chuckled.
"Yeah, I was thinking of getting some books from the book store so I'll get the grocery too." -Khushi said as she sat opposite to Siddharth who was busy on his phone.
"Really? I'm glad you're going out do that often it'll help you forget ... things." -Mrs. Gupta bit her tongue and turned to the stove as she mixed the batter.
"I'll do that." -Khushi whispered. "I'm going to switch my phone on too." -Khushi said as she smiled brightly.
"Seriously, that's some change. What did you do last night?" -Said Siddharth, lifting his eyebrows.
"I'm glad you're doing that." -Mrs. Gupta hugged her sideways and Khushi grabbed her juice and went to her room to change her clothes ignoring what her brother had said.

Khushi wore peach pink tights reaching just below her knees with her favorite shirt. She didn't apply any make-up because she didn't need it. She looked fresh and happy. Finally happy. She descended down the stairs happily, with her phone in her hand.
"You look beautiful." -Mrs. Gupta awed at her and gave her some money. "Here is the money you'll need for the grocery and there is some extra money too if you find something nice and expensive. You can take the car too."
"Oh no, I think I'll walk." -Khushi smiled and left as she bid good bye.

After all the grocery shopping, Khushi went to her favorite book store. The owner was an old couple and they loved having her around. She was warmly welcomed by the old lady. She placed her grocery by the counter and started looking around the shelves for books.
She reached for a book which was on the 4th shelf. When she finally got it, heaved a sigh and turned she bumped into someone and fell on that muscular body with a big crash and all the books fell on that man's back.
