Hey guys,😃

This is my first attempt at this so its faaar from perfect. I will be improving my writing skills but for now let me know if you like it😊

A bit of the background

Khushi and Arnav are studying in university in the UK. Khushi is a first year student aged 19 and Arnav is a 3rd student aged 21.

Hated this. I hated him.
Well, not really. I hated his decisions.
I hated when we fought. They were rare and far in between, but they still were serious enough. I finally picked up my phone and gazed blindly at the bright mobile screen in the dark.

Arnav

Khushi please pick up your phone. I am sorry. Please listen to me, I love you

With this, I dropped my phone on the bed and it bounced off onto the thick carpet floor.

Who does he think he is? Picking up the phone, I texted back.

Khushi

I can't talk to you right now. I don't want to hear your voice. Leave me alone!

Arnav

I just wanted our families to know about it. What is wrong in that? Don't you wanna be with me?

Khushi

Don't start again!

Arnav

WTH is wrong with you. I am going to graduate in a few days, going back to America.

Khushi

You knew if I told them now they would start bringing up marriage stuff! I am only 19!

Arnav

Stop being stubborn. Hear yourself...Your mad cause I told our families about us? They are not going to force us into marriage until we want to.

Khushi

You dont know my family

Arnav

Oh Yes I do! I have been coming to your house every summer for as long as I can remember. Family friends? Have you forgotten?

Khushi

Whatever

Arnav

I am coming over

Khushi

No your not!

Arnav

I am not asking you, I am telling you!

I had enough of this texting. Why was I so mad at him? Sooner or later our families would have found out..

... but this was too soon.

I need to get out of my flat.

Hearing the sounds of nature and seeing the world put me in a delighted daze. I walked around my neighborhood, not even realizing where I was. I must've walked at least an hour when I stopped.

It was a little chilly, and I rubbed my bare arms. I looked up, and was surprised at how dark the clouds were. I even caught a flash of lightening. The drizzle started to come down.
I stopped walking, suddenly aware of how dark it was. It was only 4:12 but it looked like midnight. An uneasy feeling came over me. I looked on both sides of the street. The houses look empty and I didn't hear a sound. The drizzle turned into a light rain, the rain piercing my skin with cold. I realized what I was wearing. A grey T-shirt which was now soaked and denim shorts, which were now turning dark blue.

People will think I am mad! Walking like this.

I started walking faster. Strange how it was raining and there were no cars on this road, I wondered.

'Hey Girl', I heard someone call out.

Ignoring the call, I walked quicker, looking like a loonatic but I didn't care.

'Need a ride', a dark figure in a car called out

'Uhm no thanks', trying to make a run for it.

The car stopped abruptly in the middle of the dark road. Two figures got out and started catching up to my pace. They were in their late 20s. Smelling heavily of alcohol.

The older guy grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. I crashed into his hard chest.

A hand smacked over my mouth, concealing my cries. His hands started to roam my body, until I shoved myself from him, his arm slipping from mine. I hit the ground on my knees, the pain shooting through my leg.

'What the' I heard a familiar voice behind me, far in the distance.

The men stopped laughing and moved back to their car on hearing the voice. They got in the car. grinning. The car screeched on the way down the street.

'Arnav', I spun around

'Khushi' I saw a familiar dark figure approaching me. He bent down and grabbed my waist, pulling me up. I stared in his eyes, brown and deep in thoughts. I slammed back to reality. What happened finally caught up. I found my breathe and numbness vanished.

I hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, urgently.

'WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?' he shouted a little too loud near my ear.

'Ow' I pulled away from him, taking a step back.

His face changed from anger to concern in a split. Which almost made me laugh as I concealed my laugh behind my wide smile. He looked at my face in confusion. Thinking if I had gone mad. Not long ago was I attacked by two men but no here I was with a wide smile staring at his face.

'I am sorry', I said, staring in his face with my wide eyes, pouting as I laid my head on his chest. I felt his lips on my forehead.

'I am sorry, I shou-

Cutting him off, ' no... let me go first. I don't know why I got so mad,' I stared speaking, a little to fast'. It's just you know my family is reserved on things like this. I am not mad at your decision to tell them now. It's just...

I looked at his concerned face not able to take the hurt in his deep brown eyes. I shuddered and said '... What were we fighting about again?'

He gave his Arnav smirk and smiled widely before cupping his hands around my face and pulled me towards his warm breath.

'Move along, you two! Get a room!' a young voice came behind me, he pulled off.

We both laughed, and gave a last kiss.
