Chapter 6
Another long day with lots of boring lectures, everyone is hurrying with their respective syllabus so that its covered in time with only fistful of students attending lectures.. Khushi was obviously one of them and Arnav was not one of them making her bored in lectures! He is such a timepass and she enjoys passing time with him! Ridhi was sitting beside Khushi but was attentive unlike her! Khushi kept playing with her pen drawing some patterns on the back side of her graphics note-book when she heard Ridhi whispering,
"Missing someone?" she teased
"W-What?"
"Missing someone?"
"NO, there is a lots of silence and absolutely no bakwaas PJs!"
"You are missing his PJs, aren't you?" Ridhi giggled as she was under impression that maybe Arnav and Khushi are actually dating!
"Hell, No. Why would I?"
"Oh yeah! That's the reason you are looking at your cell wanting it to beep, isn't it?"
Khushi looked at Ridhi strangely as she herself didn't knew why she was looking at her mobile after every five seconds feeling something is missing! Gossh she cannot be THIS used to him!
"Ermm, that's not the reason!" Khushi shrugged of confusing Ridhi as Why was she so hell bent on proving that she is not missing Arnav?! This was never the case with Amit as she used to blush furiously whenever Ridhi teased her!
Ridhi was about to clear her doubts but just then she heard their teacher clearing her throat behind them giving enough signal that she is watching over them , as a result both girls decided to concentrate on the books!
*
Khushi and Ridhi were saturated enough to bunk the remaining lectures and go out for a break in their refuge area- The Canteen
"Two Frooti?!"
"Sure!"
Getting a green signal from Khushi, Ridhi was about to turn to order when she heard Arnav say, "Bro, just give these two kids two cans of Frooti!" he chuckled making Khushi roll her eyes and Ridhi taking a deep breathe trying to control herself thinking What's in this irritating creature that Khushi likes him?
"Are we furious over something?" he gave a low chuckle looking at the girls
"Yes we are as the biggest problem bigger even than inflation is standing in front of me!" Ridhi hit him
"Oh really?!" he took it calmly making Ridhi's and Khushi's jaw drop down!
Yeah he is the coolest dude, it's tough to make him angry though he can make you clinch your fist in second!
"So girls how were your lectures?"
"It was boring!" Amit answered from behind
"I never knew we had a third girl here!" Ridhi spat making Amit stiffen with fury
"Does she has something against boys?" Arnav whispered in Khushi's ear making her mumble stop your nonsense!'
Arnav giggled further to Khushi's annoyance making her give him deadly glare!
"WE. ARE. NOT. LESBIANS!"
"THEN. WHY. IS. SHE. SO. WEIRD .WITH THE GUYS YOU ARE/WERE.RELATED TO!"
"She is talking to her that way cos she knows the reason of my break-up with Amit!" Khushi mumbled slowly
"Lost in each-other, are we?" Sheetal too came giggling making Amit's anger fade as she kissed his cheek while Ridhi chose to concentrate on her frooti!
"Hmm yes my lady love was missing me!" Arnav said nudging Khushi by his elbow making her fake a smile with blush.
"Excuse me guys.." Ridhi excused herself for a phone-call while Khushi too followed her
"What's wrong Ridhi? Why don't you mix up?" Khushi asked as she knew there was no any phone-call
"Cos I am a loner!" she spat making Khushi roll her eyes
"Enough yaar! We need to move on, look only about a month is left for our farewell, let's not have any bitterness!" Khushi said softly making her nod and follow her back to table just then a phone beep with message!
"YES YES YESSS!" she almost jumped in the corridor
"What happened?"
"Plan B passed!"
"Plan B?" Ridhi was confused
"Err nothing let's go!" saying Khushi took her to their table
*
As they returned back to table Arnav dramatically began singing hum baney, tum baney ekk duje ke liye. Making Khushi fume at him while Ridhi was clueless!
"Looks like everyone bunked the class, teacher kisko padhayegi?" Ridhi giggled while others were stunned to see such sudden change in her
"Let's hang out, what say? " Sheetal said
"Err Not me, I will attend Jha's lecture" Ridhi excused
"Not me too!" Khushi declared
"If my love doesn't, Why should I?" Arnav winked at Khushi who still didn't knew why was he happy all of a sudden!
*
"Ridhi, What happened?" Khushi said trying hard to match her fast pace when Arnav pulled her back by arms
"She is trying to give us privacy! Don't you understand?" Arnav spoke some sense
"Maybe something is wrong with her, some jetleg?"
"It has been ages since she is back man! C'mon won't you girls leave each other alone?!" Arnav threw his head back frustratingly
"You know she doesn't mingle much with anyone, that worries me!"
"Oh yeah, concerned for each-other, Mad in love!" Arnav gave a low chuckle making Khushi increase her pace too to avoid him!
"Khushi... What's wrong?" Arnav asked finally when Khushi was silent for almost five minutes, that's a miracle as she won't stay silent even for letting oxygen in when the thing is fighting with him!
"You. You. You are my problem!" she walked on him angrily making him go backwards the same number of steps that she took forward
"Okay, relax! I will tell you a joke!" Khushi rolled eyes with an expression saying Gossh not again!'
"Computers and Mobiles were invented to save our time!" he started laughing hard, then looked at Khushi looking at him sternly making him stop clearing his throat.
"Okay another one..."
"No now I tell you a story!"
"Wah Wah!!!" he clapped making Khushi give him some weirdly clickable expressions which resulted in him stiffen up in attention pose with hands folded and finger on his lips!
"He proposed... She smiled... No teeth... He died!" she said
"Hawww that's tragic!!" Arnav said taking his saliva on his finger and then putting it via his fingers on his cheek and then wiping it out as if wiping tears making Khushi give a eww expression, and the next thing she did was took him by collar and dragged him to the class!
*
"Arnav why are you so happy?" finally she asked after the class not being able to bear the suspense anymore
"My sister is visiting me soon!" Arnav squealed like a small baby!
"Oh wow!" she said finally waving him and going to Ridhi who was waiting for her
*
"Some Anjali Raizada had ringed you!" she said giving Khushi her cell which was with her
"Oh I will call her later!" she shrugged
"Why are you doing this?" she asked and when Khushi threw some confused expressions on her she cleared the air, "I talked to her as Khushi and she thanked you for telling her about Arnav's weak performance in studies!"
Khushi gulped not knowing what to answer but finally said, "Arnav has a tiff with his Mom and I want him to clear it out and I called his sister so that..."
"So that I go to my house again!"
Khushi turned back only to find that Arnav completed her sentence, Ridhi left knowing she should leave them alone!
"A-Arnav?"
"Don't do this! Please stop!!"
"How did you come to know?"
"You think that I need an Einstein brain for this?!, it's simple my paper that you were arranging getting misplaced, you giggling while I get scolding, My mom smiling looking at you, Dii mentioning your name when she doesn't even know K of Khushi! "
"Please Khushi there is not really any need for you to try sorting out my problems with my Mom!"
"I am sorry Arnav!"
"It's okay but please don't repeat yourself, now get ready for the hangout we planned, just two months of our relationship left!"
"See 1. I am not in a mood of any samaj-seva I -I did it to make your life difficule, you know the thing called revenge? And Which hangout? Who planned?" she blabbered anything that came to her mouth
"I planned, my friends wanna see my girlfriend so get ready I will pick you up and you want to backfire at me for tricking you?"
"Ofcourse yes and you will get it before the end of next month!" she said and left the place with all so well-built ego as her plan failed cos Arnav will surely find some solution!
