"Chotte Khushi is going back to India and you're doing nothing about it REALLY?!" Anjali tried persuading Arnav to make Khushi not go back to India "DO SOMETHING!"
Arnav had explained to her "it's not a big deal and they need to part ways and I'll find someone and anyways I and Khushi ware great friends above anything and I don't want to lose that friendship."
But Anjali wouldn't buy any of that, she wanted them to be together, because she thought that they completed each other but after a lot reasons they put forward she was fine with it, though not completely.

"Let's go Khushi or else you'll miss the plane" Arnav tried to make her hurry up.
"I'm not playing around you know" she told him.
Arnav helped her put her stuff in the trunk of the car and drove her to the airport. Khushi didn't have a lot of luggage, she didn't have a lot of acquaintances back in India simply because she had been living in London for quite some while now and all the people she did know, were barely in contact with her, and she also did not have a family, she was orphaned at a very young age.

"I'm going to miss you so much" Khushi said to Arnav
"Oh really" he asked her smirking
"Of course, who am I going to boss around now, and who's going to be my partner in crime or who am I going to go act idiotic with." Khushi listed all her reasons for missing him and Arnav just laughed at the girls cuteness.
"I'm going to miss you too, you know why" he asked her.
"Why?!" she questioned him "Is it because I'm not going to be here to teach you to be cool like me."
"No" he said making a funny face "Who's going to clean the house, and make me some good food, and now there's going to be no one lame to laugh at" he told her jokingly.
She made her eyes huge as a quarter and made a perfect O shape with her mouth and looked at him.
"Really?!" she asked him "Really Arnav?!"
He just nodded his head innocently and she slapped him playfully.
"I'm just kidding" he said "I'm really going to miss you"
"Aww, I know you" she said.
"Call me when you reach there" Arnav told her and before she left to go inside he told her to wait as he had something to give her. She stood their curious, wanting to know what it is.
He handed her a box.
"What is it?" she asked
"Open it and see"
She opened it and there were yummy jalebis inside the box.
"OMG ARNAV" she screamed "Dude you're the best, now I know why we're friends."
Arnav knew about her obsessions with Jalebis and he got her some knowing that she would be the happiest person when she sees them.
"I love you" she said "You're the best"
He just laughed at her silliness.
"Remember to call me when you get there" he reminded her again.
"Alright, Alright I won't forget" she said making her face like a little child.
"Take care"
"You take care too"
They hugged one last time before she left and he just stood there for a couple of minutes, smiling like an idiot at her antics.
'Pagal" he whispered to himself.
He drove back home and the house felt completely empty without her it felt like the life, the soul of the house had been taken out and he missed her already.
She sat on the plane and she missed him already too, remembering all the fun times they used to have, but she assured herself this is a another step in life.
