This is dedicated to my best-friend. I love her SO much and recently this happened with her. The story is very, very real. But I just put up Arnav-Khushi's name. :P Well, I love you LOSER. :* And this is the songthe he put up for her - http://mp3skull.com/mp3/oblivion_bastille.html (I'd like you guys to listen to it too so you imagine it exactly the way I did!)
Here it goes! :)

It was the annual Function held in the biggest University of India in which Khushi had to go to. All the schools, colleges and universities had been invited to this grand function. Khushi was going with her friends there as they made a plan that they'd all go together this year and at the moment she was having a what-to-wear crisis.
"God Payal! What do I wear? I have nothing!" -Khushi sat down on the bed with a thud.
"Are you kidding me? All I see is clothes, clothes, clothes and more clothes." -Payal pointed everywhere as Khushi's room had been turned into a mountain of dresses.
"But.." -Khushi said as she got up.
"Not buts! Let me see through. We'll look for something. But even if you wear the same thing over and over again, he'll always find you beautiful." -Payal said as she moved all the dresses here and there to look for the perfect one for Khushi.
To this statement Khushi blushed instantly. And why wouldn't she? She had the best guy in the world.
Arnav Singh Raizada was Khushi Kumari Gupta's guy. Well, they weren't like together-together but she was and is always the one for him. Arnav had asked Khushi out six months ago and Khushi having a big crush over him had agreed to say yes that too under the pressure of her friends. She had never dating before and Arnav was her first time. Arnav was very careful with her; he was the sweetest thing alive. He loved her to a great extent and had promised her to love her forever and ever till death. But soon Khushi started feeling guilty about all this. She had never hid anything from her parents. Khushi told him that she couldn't do this and told him the exact reason. They broke up..
But they had remained Best-friends. In a way that they both knew how much one loved each other. He had protected her and had always been there for her when others turned their backs on her. They were meant to be together forever and had also promised that one day they would marry each-other. And she would never feel guilty about anything, ever.
"OH MY GOD, THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL WEAR." - Khushi was brought back to the present with Payal's voice. Khushi looked at her hand holding a Kameez piece. It was red and lemon yellow printed Kameez. The sleeves were of black net and the length reached just two inches above her anklets. Khushi took it from her and looked at it.
"What the hell didn't I see this before?" -Khushi said.
"Because you have buttons not eyes; now go and change we only have an hour before we leave." -Payal said pushing her in to the washroom.

Arnav had been waiting for Khushi since a while but just as he was about to call her he heard her laugh and he instantaneously looked up in her direction.
She looked beautiful in her Kameez and churidar; she looked stylish yet so simple. Her hair was being caressed by the air and had slight curls at the bottom. She looked at him and smiled shyly whereas he smiled back dreamily because in his world only Khushi existed.

After the function was over, they still had time to explore the university. It was ten times bigger than their own college. It was a little dusk at that time and soon they knew it would be dark. Arnav hadn't stopped watching her since she had arrived as he didn't get time with her alone. She had been busy with her friends taking pictures and having food. But now was his chance..
"Would you like to go for a walk?" -Arnav whispered huskily.
"Umm.. Sure, why not." -Khushi hesitantly agreed as she was scared of what he might do when they'd be alone.
"Let's go." -He whispered once again and started walking on the pathway of the huge university. They had been quite for some while but from time to time Arnav kept telling her about the things around them and Khushi just smiled looking at the floor.
It was shadowy now and the university lights had been switched on but to where they were less light was visible and it was getting cold and mysterious. Arnav took his phone out and looked at it for a few minutes and suddenly put a song on. This startled Khushi but the he smiled at her warmly which made her sure that she'd always be safe with him.
"Have you heard this song?" -Arnav asked.
"Umm.. no, not really." -Khushi said in a barely audible tone.
"Well good, you'll love it though." -Arnav said as the song continued to play. A few seconds later she felt his warm hand slide into hers. Khushi looked up at him with her big wide eyes. And he had a smile playing across his lips. Right at the chorus line he raised her hand in the air and he twirled her like a princess, his princess.
He took her by her arms and started dancing slowly to the rhythm. Khushi had turned into the red cricket ball and had no courage to look up. He put his head against her forehead and looked into her eyes intensely.
"You know if you'd give me permission, I'd kiss you." -Arnav whispered on his lips. Khushi smiled faintly. "The moment you entered today, all I wanted was to kiss you for once or on your cheek." -He continued.
"We should go. Everybody must be waiting for us." -Khushi said changing the topic. But she would lie if she said that she didn't feel any butterflies in her stomach.
"But I won't spare you for long. Once we get married I'd do this every night." -He said with a smirk. He saw Khushi's eyes widen and look up at him in shock and also he saw the very visible red stain on her cheeks.
"I love you." -He whispered again look in her eyes.
She smiled again and they both left for the gateway hand in hand.
