Arshi FF: Falling in love with your Best Friend *Completed* Pg 96 - Page 25

'She snatches my Arnav from me; and laughs so care-freely with her friends. Isn't it getting too much? I need to cut off her happiness and bring her down to tears. She'll be left alone. And I'll be the happiest!' Alia thought and smirked evilly, looking at Khushi. Khushi knew that Alia was in the canteen, but ignored her.

Alia moved back to the garden to accompany Arnav and of course to poison his mind against Khushi.

"What took you so long?" Arnav asked her.

"Nothing baby, just met Khushi in the canteen" Alia started on with her lies.

"Oh. What was she saying?" he asked, smelling something fishy.

"Nothing. Lets go. The class is about to start" Alia pretended to ignore the topic and walked towards the classroom, dragging Arnav along with her.

*

The class went on.

Arnav received a text from Ira Auntie, saying that her grand-daughter was down with fever, and she would take a few days to return home. Arnav forwarded the message to Khushi and they both shared a quick glance.

*

During the afternoon, when the college hours got over, Arnav waited for Alia in the parking area. He knew that Alia was somewhere upset with him, for not staying with her the previous night, so he decided to spend the evening with Alia. He told Aakash to drop Khushi home, to which he agreed.

Alia quickly put some drops of glycerin in her eyes, to get ample amount of fake tears, to trap Arnav in her treacherous plan. She smirked looking at herself in the washroom-mirror in the college itself, while Arnav waited for her outside.

She came outside the washroom, keeping her eyes lowered, and sniffed a few times; just to gain Arnav's concern. Arnav looked at her flushed red cheeks and the tears flowing down from her eyes, and immediately cupped her face, insisting her to look up.

Alia slowly lifted her eyes to look into Arnav's. Her red eyes worried Arnav and he softly asked her, "What's wrong baby?"

"Nothing Arnav. Lets go" Alia held Arnav's arm and started walking towards the bike. She wanted Arnav to realize that there was something seriously wrong, to prove herself to be absolutely right.

"No. First you need to tell me, why are you crying?"

"Nothing's happened Arnav" she sobbed, "Can you please drop me home right now, I'm not feeling well, we can spend time with each other tomorrow"

Arnav insisted her to tell him the reason for her crying, but she didn't. He rode her towards her residence. Arnav was completely tensed, as on much insistence, Alia was not ready to tell him anything.

As they reached Alia's home, she got off the bike, and started walking towards the door, only to be pulled back by Arnav.

"Did someone say you something?" he asked her, while she nodded a no.

"Then why are you crying?"

"Arnav!" Alia said and started sobbing, moving close to him.

Arnav wrapped his arms around her, putting her head on his shoulder, and started to console her. She sniffed and wiped the tears off her cheeks, and started with her main plan.

"Arnav, will you break up with me?" she asked, looking into his eyes and again sobbed.

"No Alia. Why would I do so?"

"Then why did Khushi say that you are her best friend; and you would always be with her? You are her best friend but you are my boyfriend also na. Then why did she say that she'll make you break up with me. You don't love me? What wrong did I do that she hates me so much? She said that you can never be mine. You are only hers. Please Arnav, I Love You very much. Don't break up with me. I promise, I will never come in between your's and Khushi's friendship. But please don't part me from yourself!" Alia lied to Arnav, and hugged him tight, sobbing loudly on his chest.

Arnav tightened his grip around Alia, feeling anger rise up his veins. 'Why is Khushi doing all this? How dare she?' he thought.

He parted from the hug, and cupped Alia's cheeks. "I'll talk to Khushi about this, Alia. But please, you don't cry. I'm not going to leave you. Believe me"

He slowly placed a kiss on her forehead and sat on his bike to get back home. Anger was clearly visible on his face, which will all be let out on poor Khushi.

Alia stared at his retreating back and smiled gladly. She patted her shoulder praising her awesome acting skills. "Poor Khushi! I really feel bad for you. Because you are going to get fresh real tears in your eyes, while my tears were just a few drops of glycerin!" She clicked her tongue a few times and smiled evilly.

The traitor has played her game! Something bad was to come...

<--Sneak peek-->
Arnav rode his bike furiously. He wanted to get to Khushi as soon as possible to ask her why is she doing all this? What was the need to say Alia all this? To say that Arnav was angry, would just be an understatement. And the images of Alia crying, added fuel to the fire. 'Khushi, this is heights now! What did Alia do to you that made you say such things to her? Is this the reward you give me for my loyal friendship? Its totally unacceptable Khushi' he thought and fumed.

Love you all! 😳
