"Please come again" the words were said in a condescending tone and the listener narrowed his eyes but repeated anyways.
"I want you to call off the marriage with Khushi" Arnav repeated the words for the pleasure of Abhay.
"Give me one good reason why I should?" Abhay asked in utter patience, his arms crossing against his chest.
"I have three" Arnav replied non-complacently.
"I am willing to hear" was Abhay's prompt reply.
"The very first reason is, she doesn't love you and you know what. The second reason is this marriage will eventually fail because you do not understand her. Third is that.."
"You love her" Abhay cut in.
"Yes, I do" Arnav answered, barely hesistating as Abhay continued to throw defiant looks at him.
"So, when did you realise you love her? An hour back, a day back or a week back? I love her since past four months" Abhay stated as if it explained and justified everything.
"Abhay, I know what are you trying to convey here but you know Khushi never considered you more than a friend. She has always loved me and if this marriage takes place you are not only ruining your life but her as well and...mine too" Arnav reasoned, expecting to see the glimpse of his old friend in Abhay's eyes but found none.
"In that case, we can have a deal ASR" Abhay suggested, his eyes possessed with something akin to malevolence.
