Arhi FF: Journey of my Life *Update Chap2 - Page 3

Khushi standing on the stage in a beautiful pink anarkali dress humming to the start tune of the guitar, tapping her feet and having the biggest smile on her face. Then she got going with her lines singing in a very melodious voice

Faili thi siyaah raatein, aaya toh subah leke

Bewajah si zindagi mein jeene ki wajah leke

Khoya tha samundaron mein, tanha safeena mera

Saahilon pe aaya hai, tu jaane kis tarah haan leke

Faili thi siyaah raatein, aaya toh subah leke

Bewajah si zindagi mein jeene ki wajah leke

Khoya tha samundaron mein, tanha safeena mera

Saahilon pe aaya hai, tu jaane kis tarah haan leke

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Kaise hum jaane hume kya paata

Kuch toh hai tujhse raabta

Jaanatein bhula ke teri baahon mein mein panah leke

Faili thi siyaah raatein, aaya toh subah leke

Bewajah si zindagi mein jeene ki wajah leke.

Arnav saw himself staring at her and Khushi staring back at him with a huge smile expressing all her feelings she sang the song.

I feel it inside
Don't know why
I feel it inside

Arnav slammed his foot on brake when the song was ending with its last tune. *Flashback ended

Arnav looked around where he had stopped to see where he reached. It was a shopping centre "What The" he thought to himself.

The first thing Arnav's eyes fell on was a book store, he raised his eye-brow in amusement. Deliberately parked his car at the side of the street "NO PARKING" on weekends it read. Nevertheless, he parked his car while murmuring stuffs to himself only pbbst Whatever was only heard out loud to his own ears. He sarcastically smirked and strolled towards the mall, well rather book store the famous "Crossword" he said.

Arnav was blocked out by a gigantic crowd accumulated in front of the store in a line. Arnav struggled to get through the crowd working his way towards the door. He felt liked he was barging in some down market place for a second, no he thought I should think a little bit sophisticatedly. So, he dropped the thought and kept his pace up towards the main door of the book store.

He heard someone say, "Oye, ayeee Bhai line mai rukhna" (Hey, you stand in the line Mr) he turned to see if it was for him. Yes, it was a call out for Arnav he sighed in anger but controlled himself.

Arnav yelled back, "Aarey mera dukhan hai bhai, mai toh ja hi sakta hu na?" (Hey it is my store brother, I could enter it right?)
Voice 1 said, "Ajeeb aadmi hai" (strange man)
Voice 2 replied "Haan hum kya kar sakte hai" (ya what can we do about this)

Arnav smirked at his cleverness at walked into the store coolly, like he really owned the place. But then again he was astonished, to see the line to the counter was connected to the crowd outside. He randomly asked a person if there was a limited edition of Twilight or Harry Potter out referring to the condition of the Book store. Before the man could answer, a voice echoed into his ears "Arnav, is that really you?"

Arnav turned around, and was shocked to see Vishal his old college friend he asked "umm hi what are you doing here?"

Well, I work here but what are you doing here? He asked Arnav still shell shocked.

Arnav replied, Nothing buddy I just came here to get a new book could you help me?

Vishal, Ya sure. Btw didn't you receive Khushi's book yet? Dude, don't get angry just asked because my sister received a special copy of it yestarday.

Who,"That nerdy Payal?" She's your sister? Jezzz asked Arnav in an astonished tone.

Vishal laughed and said ya "That nerdy Payal" yaar, she was Khushi's bestfriend remember?

Arnav forget it and yes I'm here for the same book.

Vishal was totally stunned and said I was going to enquire about your new interest in books.

Arnav said umm shut up, you know I don't read the books I just want to read what crap she has wrote about. Vishal was little bit possessive about the book so he rudely replied there is no crap alright. Arnav stepped back little bit in shock, but Vishal said sorry and told him straight away that they have been a sold out of Khushi's book.

Arnav screamed at him, "WHAT THE" just get a copy it for me Damn it!!!
Vishal consoled him and said that he will place Arnav on number one in the waiting list.
Arnav felt let down but ecstatic in a way, he left the place soon he was in the parking lot of his apartment.

Raabta song kept playing in his mind male version this time. He took the stairs rather the lift in a slow pace walking up the stairs finally he reached his house on the fourth floor. Lost in his own thoughts, Arnav almost walked into the door before that he had hit out something that was on the floor.

Arnav picked the hard cardboard package (PARCEL) up it read, "To, Mr Arnav Singh Raizada" It didn't have any sender name. Strange he whispered, and finally entered his apartment with mixed emotions holding the PARCEL in his left hand.

He threw his keys somewhere in south east direction after slamming his door in a random mood swing of angriness. Arnav got a cup of coffee and sprung into his comfy couch opened the PARCEL.

There was a book covered with another cardboard book shape coating.

**Tring Tring**

Arnav looked everywhere for his cell, he screamed for his cell in frustration finally when he found it he rolled his eyes. The call had hung up, but it ringed again.

Anjali, "Chote, tum kha the? Hum kabse tumhe call kar rahe hai?
Arnav, "kya hua di, kya kaam tha?"
"Chote humari parcel mil gayi tumhe?" asked Anjali

Arnav shocked and said haan di, but what is that?

Anjali said job hi hai please do read it for me. Chote read it and do let me know how it is?

Arnav, "Di, you know that I don't read?"
Anjali, "It's send by Khushi; you could at least read this for her please." In an angry tone she said, "If you can't do this for her please don't talk to me" She has sent this with all her love.

Arnav, "What which love?" She could have sent it to me why did she send it to you? No wait, this is your copy? "What The"

Anjali, "Chote take a deep breath, haiii DM…Chote you know which love I'm talking about, don't ask me please. For your information it's your copy and I've got my own"

"You better read it, that's it" love you, bye!
Before Arnav could reply Anjali hand hung up.
