Arnav and Khushi were in some friend's birthday's party; They had come to the party together as they live next to each other besides they are best friends. In the party, when Aditiya 'Khushi's boyfriend came, he kissed her cheek. Arnav, who was standing beside Khushi, left them and joined some friends; he was angry with her, 'How could she let him do that?' he thought. When Aditiya excused himself to answer a call, Arnav grabbed Khushi to some corner where no one could watch them.
"Khushi, try to understand'." He said when she cut him off, "Whatever!" and she raised her hands and shook them in a way which meant that the conversation is over when she saw Aditiya approaching them. Arnav never liked this Aditiya a bit, so he left them again. Lavanya waved to him and he went to talk with her; they chatted for half an hour about the party, their friends and the college.
'So she remembered there are others except that Aditiya,' Arnav thought angrily when he saw them joining a group of friends.
After sometime all gathered around Priya for cutting the cake. "Stop." Khushi stopped her when she was about to blow the candles off then all the guests turned to look at her; Arnav chuckled as he knew the reason because she stops him every time he celebrates. Priya gave Khushi a questioning look, so she answered quickly, "Wish something first!" Everyone laughed and encouraged their friend.
They played some slow song and Aditiya asked Khushi for a dance; he agreed and they went to the dance floor joining others. Many couples started to dance when Lavanya asked Arnav to dance with her. "Sorry lavanya, but'"
"Won't you do a friend a favor? Come on ASR." Arnav Singh Raizaada was known as ASR among his colleagues.
'She's a friend and could he refuse a friend?' So he agreed.
He wasn't paying attention to Lavanya while dancing as his eyes were only with Khushi. Khushi's arms were around Aditiya's neck (which he wanted to break) and his hands were on Khushi's waist. Arnav unconsciously tightened his arms around Lavanya; he crushed her close harming her unknowingly. "Ouch, ASR you're hurting me." But he didn't hear her. She followed his eyes and was not astonished to see jealousy and hint of pain in them when she saw Khushi dancing with Aditiya.
"Khushi." Her name brought his attention to Lavanya and he questioned her by the eyes.
"I know you love her ASR. Don't know how she can't recognize this!"
'Is it that obvious?' All what could Arnav think of. Lavanya leaned closer to him in a dangerous way that their faced were in inches distance. Arnav looked shocked at her.
"Make her jealous." Lavanya told him when she read his expression. "She won't notice it." He said disappointed. "She will. Trust me!." She leaned and whispered in his ears, "laugh." Arnav for trying his luck followed her instructions. "Now lean closer to me and pretend to tell me something." They were like that until the song finished.
The couples clapped for themselves and made groups again talking non-stop. Khushi excused Aditiya before she grabbed Arnav by the arm. She led him out to the nearest venue which was empty by now.
"So, wasn't that more scandalous to be tomorrow's college talk, Mr. Raizaada?" And as Arnav knows very well, Khushi uses 'Mr. Raizaada only when she's very angry at Arnav.
"What is that?"
"Your dance with that bi***."
"Khushi." Khushi and this language, how come?
"Oh! I must have hurt your feelings." She replied in a tone full of nothing but sarcasm.
"Khushi, you know that she's just a friend."
"A friend! My foot! When Aditiya kissed my CHEEK you made an issue out of it Arnav and then'.." She was fuming in anger, "You were too CLOSE Arnav." Her voice was broken somehow. Man! Is she jealous now? He hoped.
When she didn't get any reply, she put her hands on his arms and looked straight in his eyes, "No one Arnav NO ONE have the right to touch you like that! Be close to you like that!" Then she kissed him passionately taking him by surprise. Arnav was shocked at the beginning and he tried to digest the situation. 'Understand later! She's the one who kissed you first, so it's ok to kiss her back,' he told himself.
"I only have this right on you, Arnav." She whispered and rested her forehead on his. "But Khushi, what about Aditiya?"
"You know I've never loved him and when I saw you with Lavanya, I've realized that you're right; it's not a habituation it's love. You've talked with her more than half an hour alone, then you danced with her." She was observing me while I thought she forgot all about me "I swear I could have pulled her hair and kicked her out." Arnav chuckled then stopped when she glared at him. "You don't love her, right?" Khushi was very serious and Arnav knows this tone.
"We were talking about you, Pagal." Khushi smiled as she loves the way he calls her 'Pagal'. "She is the one who asked me to make you jealous and it worked."
"You!" Khushi hit his chest until he stopped her by putting her arms around him and hugging her.
