He watched her from afar as he sat in the car. His heart was beating erratically, he was having difficulty breathing. She looked beautiful, as always. Her hair was let down, silky black hair that fell to her waist. It was blowing in the wind. She was wearing a pink T-shirt with blue jeans. She was laughing..
Beep beep!!
Arnav Singh Raizada jolted back to his senses. The light was green and he was obstructing traffic. With one last look at her, he drove away. She had just come out of a shopping complex. It was coincidence that he had spotted her with her friends at the traffic light..he was just thinking of her..then again she seemed to be always occupying his thoughts these days..
Khushi Gupta, the youngest sister of his best friend.. 5 years his junior..she's fifteen!!What's wrong with him?? Karan would beat him to a pulp if he ever found out..
"Its nothing.. I'm just stressed out with exams..and dad wanting me to take over a company I don't want.." he thought to himself. "He just doesn't understand me, I don't want to take over the company. I want to be an architect, not run a fashion magazine. Akash can take over the company, why can't he just let me be?? He's driving me up the wall, now I've really gone mad..thinking about Khushi all the time.."
The phone rang.. "Yeah di?"
"Chote..there's been a terrible accident..mummy and papa..."
Pain...inconsolable grief hit him square in the chest..he couldn't think..he stopped the car as tears poured silently down his face..
