part 8
kushi sighed for what had to be the five hthere arnav was totally confused how did akash know his kushi hundredth time today as she sat in her seat, glancing over mallisa with her lips pressing together. not a word spoken between the two of them since they got to the concert.of course, mallisa had tried to make conversation, but had been shot down by angry kushi instantly.
the music which smoothed kushi, made her to feel sick in her stomach as the band played in front of them, even the lulling sound of the piano just sounding like noise. it only served to make her angrier when she realized that not even music could ease her temper.
mallisa once again try to peack with her "kushi what's wrong with you?. you have been glaring at everybody since we got here." she asked, a clear look of concern on her face. kushi let her head rest back on seat, looking over mallisa tiredly.
"just having some problems,"kushi mumbled, finally deciding that she was not to blame here. after all, kushi had asked her to come with her.
" with the boss? i dont know why you are in such rage over it." mallisa commented, not even noticing the way kushi tensed, "i mean, if he likes you and you like him, what's really the big deal her?"
"hard to explain yaar"kushi finally said with another sigh, rubbing her hand over her face. she dont know why she was pissed, and it just tired her out even more to try to explain it, "i guess i've hated for so long, i dont even know what i'm really feeling anymore."
" in what lifetime did you hate arnav? all i saw was two peoples that loved each other and just see it their big ego " mallisa said, rolling her eyes at kushi "you have him as much as you hate jilabies"
"i dont what are you talking about "kushi responded, glancing back up stage when another song, "if he really loved me, would he have put me into all this troubles"
"you make it sound like a bad guy here?"mallisa replied, crossing her arms and staring at the band front of her, " if i remember, you hit him with a paper work before."
" that was for a complete different reason,"kushi objected, trying to defend herself.it did not do anything thought, mallisa glared at her making her to look away..
"whatever, kushi.this is what you going to do when your precious arnav get back, you going to apologize to him. you guys are going to have your 'fight' as arnav calls it, and then you both can get married and have theer to five children" mallisa sounded frustrated, looking fed up with kushi.
kushi cant help but to wrinkle her nose, "why three to five children?" she asked curiously, only to wince when mallisa smacked her over the head.
"of all that you could object to: kiss your boss, marrying him, apologizing, and you ask about the random number of children i said out " mallisa lectured, shaking her head in defeat, "you are trapped kushi, trapped "
at that, mallisa mumbled something about going to washroom and stoop, making her way back through the aisles and leaving kushi to herself. of all people she dont know why she brought mallisa with her to the concert. she can convince someone to jump and fly if she want.
but, may be thats what kushi needed someone to advice her.

"i take it you are kushi, our contest winner " nk greeted warmly, holding out his hand and letting kushi to shake it. kushi nodded, giving him a brief smile before looking around, curious to what the backstage is looked like.
" yes i am kushi " kushi mumbled dipping her head to three band members in front of her, "its pleasure to meet you all"
"so, kushi serious question here"lavanya cut in, her eyes sparking with mischief that had even nk to grinning "which one of us are your favorite"
kushi blushed, tucking her hair behind her ear and taking a step back "uh.."kushi bit her lip, not wanting to answer in case any of the band members got offended.
" dont torture the poor girl too much la"kushi heard a familiar voice behind her, turning around and expecting arnav to be there. however, she met with masked face of the pianist, making kushi frown in confusion. she had heard arnav, hadn't she?
" you are always ruining fun."la complained, though there was a friendly smile on her face as she leaned shoulder of aman, that spark never leaving her face "anyway kushi this is i-dont-anybody-to-know-my-identity."
"just ignore her."the man said, shaking his head in what kushi guessed must be amusement. he held out his hand to kushi, his head tipping slightly "its a pleasure to meet you, kushi."
kushi dont respond to that but stared at the man in front of her. hurt look passed her feature as her hand subconsciously touched the surrounding chain in her neck holding it tightly in her hand. the masked man fallowed her hand, but kush cant tell the expression as it masked.
kushi felt the anger return to her, which s gone while after talking to mallisa.
" youre him, right "kushi said looking down at her feet and biting her lip. she felt she is going crazy with all the feeling she feeling now and for weeks now. kushi moved her head up to see lavanya was standing in front of her.
"you both know each other "la asked kushi, before her catching the necklace, kushi dont respond to her but kushi turned toward masked man asking him question now.
"its her right... the girl you" lavanya said with wild eyes, turning her head watching back and forth what happen now as she took back and forth what happen now as she took a step back.. kushi felt her eyes teared looking strait at the man for her all misery.
"i mean... " come voice behind the mask but didn't complete his sentence he just looked down, before glancing at kushi side once again.
"you're a jerk.." kushi stormed to him, hitting his chest not able to do anything.. he held her arms together making her to struggle, he pulled her against him holding her, softly wishpering in her ears "shh.. kushi "
kushi now sure its arnav no one can call her like that... " i 'm sorry, kushi."arnav said still holding her
"don't apologize.."kushi said as she pulled out of his arms, she ran from there not even giving a ear to what he was saying..
arnav stood there with his arms that felt empty without kushi, he tried to talk to her, but she ran off from there. he don't know what to do, why he thought its good idea to come in front of kushi.. arnav turned to his mates who were waiting for the answers, it's going to be long night..
