Part 3
" Missing him, are you?" asked Arnav in a voice which showed the jealousy which he was not even trying to hide from her.
Khushi on the other hand was shocked that seeing her in someone else's arms still affected him.
Does that mean he still had feelings for her?
Khushi was rendered speechless and there was no way words were forming from the mouth which never stopped. She was deeply engrossed in thoughts of Arnav, while Arnav took control of the dance and started swaying her sensuous body wrapped in the translucent sari according to the beats of the song.
A romantic song was being played in the background but their proximity caused their hearts to beat in a sync to produce a melancholy strain.
Dil Mera Churaaya KyoonJab Yeh Dil Todna Hi Tha
Humse Dil Lagaaya Kyoon
Humse Munh Modna Hi Tha...
He hated her for giving him expectations that she will love him, if not today then tomorrow but all she did was to name their feelings as that of friendship's and reject his proposal.
He hated her for leaving him in a situation where he can neither live in love nor could he die in pain. He could neither live with her nor could he be without her.
She was guilty that she couldn't see the love in his eyes. She regretted the fact that she realized her feelings too late and had hurt her love in the due course.
" When we were strangers, even then there was a profound affinity among us. But now when we are tied in a sacred knot, why did you become an outsider to me?"
Khushi's eyes got misted reminiscing their college days where they were best of friends. But the destiny chose a relationship more profound than the friendship which they shared for them.
--FLASHBACK--
Dil Ko Dhadakna Tune Sikhaaya
Dil Ko Tadapna Tune Sikhaaya
Aankhon Mein Aansu Chhupe The Kahin
Inko Chhalakna Tune Sikhaaya
Seene Mein Basaaya Kyoon
Dil Se Jab Khelna Hi Tha
Arnav Singh Raizada, the silent heartthrob of the Delhi University was anxiously waiting for his best friend who stole his heart, Khushi Gupta to arrive.
" Today is Propose Day and I will propose her. I hope she will accept it." thought Arnav to himself, as he always chose to be a man of actions rather than words and for him it was big deal to propose in front of the whole college.
Finally his wait came to an end, when Khushi Gupta, the outspoken playgirl of the college arrived there along with some of her childhood friends and went to Arnav, straight being his best friend.
" Hey Arnav? Where are you lost?" asked Khushi, not realizing that her mere presence was more than enough for him to lose his senses.
" Umm...Khushi I want to tell you something." said Arnav, in a hesitant voice.
" From when did you start taking my permission to tell me something, Arnav." said Khushi, while posing to the guys who were continuously staring at her.
Suddenly Arnav went down on his knees, and held her hand in his while saying,
" Khushi, I am not very good with words and you know it. But anything to impress you.Before I met, I didn't realize how empty my life and my heart was. With your mere presence you light up my life and heart with your warmth."
Arnav paused to take out the ring shocking everyone around them including Khushi.
" This is not just a ring Khushi, it is a piece of my heart and the first symbol of my love for you. Just like my love, the ring has neither a beginning nor an end. I might not be able to fight 100 goons like your film heroes or sing without orchestra for you on the streets, but for just one smile of yours I am ready to jump in the flowing waters. Will you make me the happiest man alive by coloring me in your colors?" asked Arnav, with all the love and concern he had for her in his eyes, longing and pining for her sight.
" Arnav, tell me you are joking!" demanded Khushi, in a shocked tone.
Arnav was brought back to earth from his dreamland as he had expected anything but this. She thought that he was kidding?
" Khushi, I am serious like hell." said Arnav, asked rising from his position, while everyone was anticipating an answer from Khushi after hearing the most romantic proposal they have ever heard.
" I am really sorry to say this Arnav but I have never thought about you in a way different than that of a friend." answered Khushi, after taking a deep breath and calming her raging mind.
She was playing with my feelings, was she?Arnav held her by her shoulders tightly and asked,
" So all this time you were just being my friend? All the concern, those hugs, those innumerable ' Love You 's were not out of love? It was fake?" asked Arnav through gritted teeth, shocking everyone there.
Seems like everyone had to be prepared for a huge drama there.
" You are a great friend, Arnav. And all of this was out of friendship. Why don't you understand that?" shouted Khushi, unable to believe that this guy was not understanding her point of view even after being her best friend.
"Breaking your friend's heart and naming it as friendship! Great, Miss Gupta!" said Arnav, sarcastically which made Khushi get more than angry and slap him infront of everyone assembled there.
--FLASHBACK ENDS--
Milti Thi Nazrein Jab Bhi Nazar Se
Uthte The Shole Jaise Jigar Se
Saanson Se Nikla Jaise Dhuaan Sa
Banta Tha Mujhse Jeete Na Marte
Aag Kyoon Lagaayi Jab
Bujhaaye Dil Chhodna Hi Tha
Khushi knew she over reacted that day. Today she was realizing what rejection in love meant, especially for a guy as possessive as Arnav Singh Raizada.
Arnav's eyes were lit up with fire of passion which made Khushi lose herself in caramel orbs. On the other hand, Arnav realized what he did in jealousy.
He pushed Khushi away from him and said,
" Don't you dare think you affect me, Miss Khushi Gupta. Neither your presence nor your absence affects me now. You mean nothing to me, nothing at all." said Arnav, who was completely opposite of the immature Arnav, Khushi rejected 6 years back.
Khushi herself had extinguished the fire of love in Arnav's heart which she herself lit and replaced it with the stillness of hatred.
Will love ever make its way through hatred?
