Firstly I'd like to apologize to all of you for taking so long to update. This is completely my fault. I am SO sorry from the bottom of my heart. It's just that school started and I got busy and I just didn't get time to update. But I did today! :) I'd like to thank khushiXOXO for being such a dedicated reader and Disha (MsDramaQueen) for helping me deal when my update got deleted. That reminds me, if this update is total shit, I'm really sorry. It's just that this is the second time I had to type it out, and I'm sick. So yeah. There's a new character in this chapter, Arnav's ex-girlfriend, Girija. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 6 "Who's at the door?" Khushi asked.
"I dunno, let me check." Arnav said, walking to the door. As soon as he opened the door, a fruity smell filled the air around him. In front of him was a tall girl, wearing a pink blouse and white jeans. Her black hair was curled neatly, and her makeup was perfect. Her diamond nose ring sparkled.
"Girija?" Arnav asked, shocked. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I love you, Arnav. That's why I'm here. Because I love you and I'm sorry. Please take me back." Girija pleaded.
"Girija, I already told you. I can't take you back. We're over." Arnav said.
"We're not over. I know you still love me. I can feel it in your eyes." Girija said.
"I don't want to talk about this." Arnav said, looking away.
"But I do, Arnav. I do. Please, give me another chance." Girija cried.
"Shh..." Arnav said, making sure Khushi didn't hear. "Girija, this is not a good time to talk."
"But-" Girija began, "who's THAT?!" she asked, pointing to Khushi, who was watching TV.
"That's Khushi."
"Oh yeah, I remember her...but why is she at your house?" Girija asked, suspiscious.
"It's not your business, Girija. Right now-" Arnav said.
"It IS my business, Arnav. Are you two..." Girija asked, crossing her two pointer fingers. Arnav understood what she meant.
"No, we're not-" Arnav began.
"Who's at the door, Arnav?" Khushi asked from the living room. Arnav opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Girija.
"It's me, Girija!" she said. Khushi got up from the couch and went to the front door.
"Girija?" Khushi asked, confused, looking at Arnav. "I'm Khushi, we've met before, right?" Khushi said to Girija.
"Yeah, we have. Do you mind if I join you two for dinner?" Girija asked. Arnav's fists clenched.
"Of course not! Come on in!" Khushi said, smiling.
"Actually, Khushi, Girija has somewhere to go tonight. Right, Girija?" Arnav said, trying to shoo his ex-girlfriend away. Girija looked visibly irritated.
"Sure, I guess I'll catch you later then." She turned around and left the apartment building.
Khushi closed the door.
"Arnav, what the heck? She wanted to have dinner with us! Why didn't you let her?" Khushi asked, upset.
"Because I'm not interested in having dinner with her." Arnav said coldly.
"Why?? Isn't she your girlfriend?" Khushi asked.
"No, Khushi. She is not my girlfriend. I am not interested in having her as my girlfriend." Arnav said to Khushi.
"But why not? She seems so perfect for you!" Khushi exclaimed.
"Because I don't love her!" Arnav said.
"Why not?"
"Because I love somebody else!" Arnav yelled without thinking. A few seconds passed before he realized what he had just said.
"You love somebody else?" Khushi said, shocked.
"No, I don't. Never mind." Arnav said, trying to cover it up.
"I heard what you said. I'm your best friend, tell me! Who?" Khushi asked, trying to get the truth out of Arnav.
"Nobody. I just accidentally said that. I don't love anybody else." Arnav said, looking down.
"Well in that case, you and Girija will be going on a date tomorrow night." Khushi planned.
"WHAT?! What crap are you saying?? Did you not hear what I just said? I am NOT interested in her being my girlfriend!" Arnav said, frustrated.
"Please, Arnav. Please. Go. For me?" Khushi said, fluttering her eyelashes. Her smile instantly warmed his heart. He felt a blush coming.
"Fine, whatever. One freaking date with her." Arnav said, annoyed.
"Yes!! Don't worry, everything will be planned out. I'll call the restaurant and make a reservation and pick out your clothes and call Girija and..." Khushi went on and on, reciting her list of To-Do's. Arnav just stared and smiled at how crazy yet cute his best friend was. He himself didn't know how much he loved her.
