"That's it, NK! Who does he think of himself?" Khushi was flabbergasted at the news. Arnav Raizada has been moving around telling, strike that, threatening people that no one dares ask her out. When Shyam asked her for a date, she was ecstatic. One, because it was her first ever date, two, she now knows that there is nothing wrong with her. But when she was stood up on her very first date, she felt bad. She wished she could punch that idiot where it hurts the most. But what came as a surprise was, Shyam appeared almost an hour later, wanting to give her a well-deserved explanation.
"Look Khushi, I'm sorry, alright!"
"What the f**k do you mean, sorry?"
"It's Raizada. He warned me it wouldn't be smart of me to come for the date" he said, uneasily rubbing his neck.
"WHAT?"
"Yes, not just me, pretty much all, actually. He doesn't want anyone to ask you out on a date" he said.
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!"
"Please don't tell him that I told you, plus, no b**bs deserve a broken nose," he said as a matter of fact.
NK tried to control Khushi. NK dropped her for her date and when she texted him, he appeared by her side and they were hanging out in the game zone, that is when Shyam appeared.
"I am going to kill your brother" she yelled as NK drove her home, 'coz she was driving him crazy.
After NK dropped her home, Khushi picked her phone dialed his number, the subject of her distress.
"Who do you think you are? My Father?" she yelled as soon as the phone was answered.
She heard a chuckle, "No," his husky reply came. If for some other time, she would get weak in her knees. But not today. No
"What have you been doing? Control freak!" she yelled at him even more, frustrated because he was crushing her non-existent love life. She hadn't even had her first kiss yet, now she knows why.
NK and Khushi were the best of friends, they were born on the same day and since then, pretty much attached to the hip. Now, they were in high school junior year and Arnav, NK's older brother was a senior. Their mothers were BFFs and pretty much lived together. Arnav Raizada, however, was a man crafted like a Greek god, 6' 3'' tall, ruggedly handsome, heartthrob. She has been crushing on him ever since she was aware of the feeling but his overprotective nature irked her to no ends. But now she felt the need to slap his dashing face.
"Listen, Shyam is a player. Everybody knows he said still with that calm relazed voice.
"And, you are not? Khushi taunted.
"Well, I know he is not right for you" his smug reply followed and he added "You are cute when you are angry"
"I hate you. Don't you mess with me, Raizada" with that she cut the call.
