1 month after their break up
***Ting*** ***Ting***
The sound of the door bell woke up sleeping Arnav . He headed towards the entrance of his house . He opened the door and was shocked to see her sister .
His heart was racing up fast . He could hear his own heart beat . He opened the door broadly so that her sister could enter .
She made her way towards the hall and comforted herself by sitting on a couch . They remained quite for a minute after which Arnav broke the silence .
Arnav : Payal tum yaha kya kar rahi ho ?? ( Payal what are you doing here ??)
Payal : Arnav kya tum dono ke beech main sab kuch theek hai ?? ( Is everything fine between you two ??)
Arnav was startled with her question !!! What is she asking that to one month after their break up !!
Arnav : Payal what the hell happened to you ? You don't even know that your sister kept a full stop to our relation ?
Payal : What ?? When did this happen ?
Arnav : Exactly one month ago .
Payal : What is happening Arnav ? She didn't call any one of us since 1 month !!! And she broke up with you here in LONDON exactly one month ago . You both love each other so much but why did she do this ?
Arnav : What are you saying Payal ? I thought she went back to your place in Bristol .
Payal : What are you saying Arnav ???
There was silence in the house . Both didn't know what was going on . It was out if their reach .
After five minutes ...
Payal : Arnav do you still love Khushi ?
Arnav : What do you mean by that Payal ??? You very well know that she is my life . She filled my life with all the happiness . But now I don't have her in my life now .
He said with a low tone . Payal had tears flowing along her cheeks after listening to his confession . She knows how happy they both were . They had beautiful dreams woven for their future .
Payal : Arnav will you get my Khushi back ??? Wherever she is ?? Will you ???
Arnav looked in Payal's eyes and nodded his head ...
Arnav : I Will Payal . I will find my love
Payal : Bye .
She exited the house and Arnav sat on the couch and was thinking how to get Khushi back ...
He was getting no clue . He freshened up and drove to their university .
[CENTER]***********
He reached his destination and parked his red sports car in the parking area .
He remembered how they used to come together in the same car .
He closed his eyes and entered the university . He saw her friend Sheetal near the lobby .
Arnav : Hey Sheetal
Sheetal : Hey Arnav . I heard from Payal just now . You never told me about your break up !!! I was startled when I heard that she's missing !!! Arnav I'm ready to help you !! Is there anything I could do ??
Arnav : I donno Sheetal . I am blank I am not able to think rationally . When I am clear I'll surely contact you .
Sheetal had tears seeing his condition . She knows how serious they were in their relation and she first time had positive feelings for a relation after noticing them !!!
***********
Arnav was only thinking of Khushi . He recalled that she ignored him before a couple of days of their break up . Was he that bad in their relation ?
He went back home and called up Sheetal .
Arnav : Hey Sheetal .
Sheetal : Hey Arnie ! So kuch janna chahthe ho ? [So you wanna know something ? ]
Arnav : Haan woh bas yeh poochna tha ki Khushi hamaari breakup ke pehle kaise hoti thi ? [ Yes . I just wanna ask you how Khushi used to be before our breakup ? ]
Sheetal : Oh ! How can I forget ? She used to be very lost , pale and light . She never used to eat anything . Heights is that she never used be attentive in class !!! Imagine Khushi being inattentive !!! Hey ok ok bye . Mom's calling ... Bye
Arnav : K bye !!!
Something was fishy here . Khushi was never like this ... Arnav laid on his recliner and recalled their first meeting .
*********CANTEEN
Khushi was sincerely reading a book and noting down something . She was neither eating something nor concentrating on anyone .
Since Arnav had no place to sit he sat on the chair opposite to Khushi .
Arnav : What are you writing ??? That too so seriously !!
Khushi : Notes . We have exam after 5 months .
Arnav : For the exam which is 5 months later ?
Khushi : Of course !!!
Arnav : Have you ever bunked a class ?
Khushi : Huh ?? Isn't bunking a bad habit ?
Arnav smiled at her statement . He first time found some solace in his life after his dark past .
Arnav : Well it is ... But I don't guess it would be in this generation .
Khushi : I've never seen you in the first year batch !!!
Arnav : Well you can't as I am in the third year .
Khushi : Oh . What's your name ? I am Khushi . Khushi Gupta .
Of course her name must be this he thought . After all she spreads happiness .
Arnav : Arnav . Arnav Singh Raizada .
Khushi : Oh so you are Arnav !! Many girls drool over you . Do you even know that ?
Arnav : Well ya I do know . But I never found anyone who could fill my heart with happiness .
Until now his inner voice said . Yes she made him happy just with her mere talks .
They became friends in just a span of 10 minutes . They always met like this in the breaks .
One day Khushi forced him to meet all her friends . And they became his buddies too .
Arnav and Khushi's bind kept on becoming stronger . And soon Arnav proposed her . And they were in relationship . They never crossed their limits but never even thought of that . They felt its just not the time .
Arnav had tears in his eyes . Why did she leave him ? Now where's she ? Does she even have a idea what everyone here are going through ?
Whatever it is now . He should find everything from the root . But from where should he start ?
He slept .
He had a dream . Te same dream he was having since they broke up .
Their break up . It's the same dream .
Arnav woke up sweating and panting . He just don't know why this dream is haunting him . His peaceful sleep is deprived now .
He some how managed to sleep again .
******NEXT DAY, UNIVERSITY
It was the same as yesterday . He spoke with her professors and got to know she failed in three subjects . Now it was clear for him that something was fishy
