ArHi SS:Poles Apart UPD Part 8 pg 37! - Page 20

PART 8:

"Khushi, come on, eat it now!" Arnav pointed towards the pizza pan on the table. Khushi looked at him and glared at the food. She didn't feel hungry, and even if she did, she didn't want to eat anything. What was the point of living now? It would be better if she didn't eat at all, and then maybe she would die...

"Here, let me cut it for you. Arnav cut two slices of pizza and put them in her plate.

"What is wrong with you Arnav Singh Raizada? Are you blind? Can't you see I don't want to eat. Don't you know what just happened an hour ago? You have no idea what I am feeling right now. Of course how would you, a person like you would have never fallen in love!"

Arnav put her plate down.

"Ho gaya? Bol diya jo bolna tha? Chalo ab khao!"

Khushi could not believe that he didn't react. He was not looking at her, but eating his pizza, and occasionally taking a sip of his soft drink. He looked tensed though; she noticed the frown on his forehead.

She felt bad for shouting at him. It wasn't his fault what happened to her; he was just being nice.

"I am sorry Arnav.."

"You know I don't take you seriously!" He winked and smiled, and Khushi saw two dimples in his cheeks.

"What happened am I looking sexier than usual, haan?" He saw her staring at him.

Khushi blushed and picked her fork and knife to start her pizza.

"I know I am.."

"Whatever…." She smiled and shook at her head in dis-belief. This person really knew how to make her mood better.

"Arnav..I am really sorry for everything today. If I hadn't asked you for help, none of this would happen" Khushi looked at Arnav while he was driving.

"Khushi, it is okay. That was nothing to be sorry of. I am just glad that the truth came out. You don't have to worry about my at all, I forget things very quickly"

"I wonder what you would think of my family and Shyam…."

"I know you don't like me much Khushi and you don't trust me, but.."

"I trust you!"

"What?" Arnav asked surprised.

"I said I trust you. Why, should I not?"

Arnav could not resist smiling.

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

At the breakfast table, Arnav met Khushi next. She was dressed in a white Shalwar Kameez and her face looked pale in the white dupatta. When their eyes met, she smiled forcefully.

"Have you seen the time? You know I don't like to be late , Khusi!."

"Ok, let's go!"

"Have some toast.."

"I am not a two year old, stop treating me like that, please! I don't want anyone sympathise with me!"

"I really don't have time for your melodrama. If you want to come, then you are welcome, otherwise I am going."

Khushi felt insulted but followed him into his car.

"Ab kya poore raaste yun mun phulana hai?"

"Whats with you? I will do whatever I want!"

"Don't make such a face, or else people woud think I have kidnapped you!"

"Ofcourse they would! Look at you, you look like a gangster anyway!" Khushi pouted and controlled her smile.

"What the …? Someone who has no fashion sense would only saa that.."

"Ask any decent girl and she would say the same…" She smiled

"If decent girls like guys like Shyam, it's not my fault…"

The smile from her face disappeared and she began looking outside the window.

"I am sorry. I dint know how that slipped…"

She didn't reply.

"Khushi, I am sorry! Look here!

Again silence.

He stopped the car at the side of the road. And put his hand on her shoulder.

"What are you doing? We are getting late for class." She shrugged away his hand.

"First tell me you forgive me?"

"Arnav lets go…"

"Khushi, first say you forgive me…"

"What If I don't?" She gritted her teeth.

Arnav raised one eyebrow and leaned towards her. The little colour in Khushi's face disappeared and she began sliding towards the end of her seat to get out of the car when he grabbed her by her wrist

"Tell me you forgive me??" He said, his face now inches away from hers and she could feel his hot breath.

Arnav saw her shocked face and her chest heaving with fast breathing. He came nearer and saw Khushi shutting her eyes.

He saw sweat drops on her forehead, and smiled. He knew the effect he had on girls, so how could Khushi resist. He however, had difficulty keeping his gaze away from her face…

He leaned on her side and pulled the seat belt, fastened it and started the car.

Khushi opened her eyes and started at him disbelieving.

"What the hell was that Arnav Singh Raizada?"

"Don't you know traffic rules?"

"To hell with traffic rules, don't you have any manners at all?"

"I thought you said you trusted me?"

There was silence in the car, and Arnav smiled sarcastically.

"Say something when you really mean it, otherwise don't say it all!"

She didn't know what to say.

In college, Khushi couldn't concentrate on her lectures, and came to Arnav's house early with n headace. With Shyam popping in her mind, and Arnav sitting in her classroom, she could hardly study. She was feeling embarrassed in front of Arnav because of the Shyam fiasco. She had gone to sleep when she heard someone banging the door. She sat up and looked at the door. Someone was just about to barge in.

She hurried to open the door and saw Arnav coming inside the room and locking it from inside.

"What????"

"Shhh!" He put his finger on her lips and took her to the bed.

"Sit down and don't shout. Your father is sitting downstairs with Dad, and he has brought your husband to be with him."

Khushi's eyes flew open and she felt she would faint any second now.

"Oh my God, what will I do now?"

"Do you want me to tell uncle how you feel about marrying his friend?"

"He already knows and he doesn't care. It is not that simple Arnav. He doesn't listen to me, why would he listen to you? Umm..did Bauji he call me?"

"He thinks you are sleeping. Anyway he has introduced the oldie as your fianc to us. Dad was shocked to see him too. He looks rich though."

"He is bloody rich! But… Arnav please do something. I cannot marry him. Why has Bauji brought him here. Is he going to make me marry him here in Mumbai?

"I don't know. But he has come to take you with him tomorrow to Delhi"

"WHAT??? Iam not going anywhere! Arnav I can't go, I cannot marry that man…please help me."
