CHAPTER SEVEN
Arnav ran behind Khushi. " Khushi...wait....."
But Khushi doesn't listen to him and enters the library. She quickly pick one random book and started to read. She knows that he can't speak to her now as she is in library. That's all she want. How dare he ignores her. Now she will gives him the same treatment. She said in her mind and continued her ignorance.
Arnav sighed looking at her. He knows that she selected this place because she didn't want to listen to him now. suddenly he gets one idea and his face lit up with a smile. He runs back to his classroom.
From the corner of her eyes Khushi sees him running to his class. She was shocked seeing that." Here I'm angry with him. But he didn't care about it. I will definitely make him pay for it". She said gritting her teeth. And looked at the book in her hand absentmindedly.
After some time suddenly one paper chit falls on her book. She opens it. It contain a smiley with Sorry. She turned her face to find Arnav sitting beside her with a puppy face. She narrowed her eyes at him and thrust the paper in his hand.
Arnav sighed." So madam is very angry". He thought." But don't worry I will never give up". He smiled inwardly and continued to give her chits. At last Khushi gets up from her seat. She ignored Arnav and walks out of the library.
"Khushi..".Arnav comes in front of her blocking her way. Khushi starts to move but Arnav holds her hand. "Khushi I'm sorry. Please don't be angry". He apologized feeling sad.
Khushi didn't reply. But she remained in the same position. From her these gesture Arnav understood that she needs an explanation.
So he started without any delay." Khushi I'm sorry for not turning out for our lunch. But what can I do. Me Lavanya Sheethal and Aashik are project partners. Normally I gave the details to Aashiq and he explains it to Lavanya and Sheethal. But today he was absent. So I don't have any other option. I was totally engrossed in the project that I forget about the lunch. I'm sorry Khushi. This won't happen again". He said in a guiltier tone and extends a box full of her favourite chocolates to her.
Khushi's face lit up with a broad smile. Actually she forgave hi in the library itself. But she doesn't shows that on her face. Because she wanted to tease him a bit.
"It's OK Arnavji. I'm not angry with you now". she said assuring him.
"Thank god. Now shall we proceed for our lunch or madam wants anything else". He said in a teasing tone.
"But Arnavji the lunch time is over. We have classes now." Khushi asked confused.
"Don't worry Khushi. I will explain it to Akash. He won't scold you for being late. Now stop fussing and come with me. I'm damn hungry now". he dragged her to the canteen.
One week later
Arnav was busy in helping his parents in packing. Raj has a business meeting in Mumbai and priya too was accompanying him now.
"Priya I don't understand why are you adamant in come with me. Arnav will be alone here". Raj said confused seeing Priya packing her clothes.
"You better listen to my words. In your last meeting you become sick ignoring your health. I don't want to take any risk. Understand. Else forget about your meeting. You won't step out of this house". Priya said in a threatening tone.
Raj rolled his eyes sighing. Arnav chuckled seeing the helpless expression on the face of his dad.
Raj looked at him annoyed." Why are you laughing. Your state will be the same as mine after your marriage. You..".He stopped suddenly seeing the glare of Priya. Arnav laughed at the face of his father before leaving the room.
Priya cupped his cheek. "Arnav don't neglect your food. I will ask hp to stay here in night". She said.
"No mom. Don't worry. I'm not a child. Probably I will be staying at Akash place. So you don't need to worry. OK. Enjoy your journey maa". He hugged her and bids bye to them.
Arnav sighed looking at the door. It's time for college now. he needs to get ready. He called HP. "HP.." .HP came running." Yes sir".
" You can leave in the morning because I won't be here till tomorrow. Till then you can take rest. OK". He said. Hp nodded smiling.
At college
Arnav enters the college. But he couldn't find Khushi anywhere. Normally she would be waiting for him at the gate. Strange his mind thought. He walked fastly towards the class as the bell rang.
Evening
Arnav is very restless. He can't find khushi anywhere. She is not there in the class and her friends didn't see her. Moreover she didn't turnout for lunch. He starts to get worried.
"Is she okay.".his mind started to question. He continued his search for her. Suddenly it clicked his mind. "Library...how can I forget that". he scolded himself and rushed to the library.
As he enters the library he can see her sitting in one secluded corner. He starts to walk towards her. A book was placed in front of her but he very well knows that she is thinking something else. She can see the shivering of her shoulders. Which only means she is crying.
He fastened his pace and reached beside her. Khushi. he touch her shoulder. Khushi turns back at him with teary eyes. Suddenly she stood up and hugs Arnav tightly.
Arnav was stunned. Now he can surely says that she is deeply hurt. Without thinking anything he rubbed her back." Sshh...it's OK Khushi...it's OK..".he tried to console her. Hearing his voice she comes into her senses. She quickly withdraws from the hug and looks down.
Arnav cupped her cheek." Kya hua Khushi...why are you crying". He asked tenderly." Did someone say something". He asked once again seeing her silence.
Khushi nodded and said in a low voice. "Woh..in today morning Jiji accused me once again because of her fight with jijaji". Tears are flowing like river from her eyes.
Arnav wiped her tears." Khushi you don't need to bother about anything. Just live for your life. You shouldn't pay attention to their words". He said consoling her.
Khushi nodes her head. But Arnav knows that she is still upset. "Hmm...so come with me..I have a surprise for you..". He said holding her hand.
"What surprise Arnavji.. ".She said non enthusiastically.
"Oh GOD Khushi.. if I tell you now how will it be a surprise". He said chuckling. "Aur haan..today is Friday so you will be staying in our home naa. Therefore you don't need to be worry about your family. Now like a good girl follow me". saying this he drags her out of the library not giving her any chance to protest.
Arnav drags Khushi to the car. She kept asking him continuously about his plan. But Arnav didn't replied back. Pouting Khushi entered the car silently. When they entered Raizada mansion Khushi was really confused.
She expect that he is taking her to some cafe or may be some place but she never expect that the surprise is in Raizada mansion. "What is the surprise Arnavji..".She asked still confused.
Arnav smiled at her and led her to the kitchen." Khushi hp is on leave today can you prepare kheer for me". He said controlling his smile.
Khushi looked at him open mouthed." So. This. Is. The. Surprise." She asked stressing each word. Arnav nodded his head cutely.
Khushi sighed angrily. "How can it be a surprise Arnavji. If you want kheer you could have tell me straight away naa. What's need to do this surprise drama". She said annoyed.
Arnav put an innocent expression on his face which melted Khushi's heart. "Tik hai. I will make kheer for you". she said rolling her eyes.
Arnav gives her a full blown smile and said." I will be waiting in my room Khushi. bring it there".with that he runs out of the kitchen without giving Khushi a chance to protest.
Khushi looked at his running figure angrily. How could he behave this way. She was already upset about his surprise drama and now on top of this he just irritate her more.
" Why can't he stay with her till he makes the kheer". Muttering some angry words under her breath she starts to prepare kheer.
Once she finished it. A satisfactory grin formed at her face. The aroma of the kheer is very tempting. She quickly served for Arnav and walks to his room. The door is closed.
So she called him loud...".Arnavji...". But no one answered it.She tried once again then also the response was same. Frowning she placed the kheer in the nearby table and pushed the door.
As she opened the door and took her first step she got shocked...
