~Chapter 5- We console, We talk and friends!~

"How dare she talk to you like that Lavy? She was incessantly asking us who we are who we are; Does she even know who she is for such an absurd behavior? Seriously Lava, I didn't expect such a behavior from her; from an Oxford student! I just don't know' And you Lavy! How could you just let her abuse you? Have you gone mad? Or should I say, you were happy! You were behaving as if she was praising you' I mean Lavy, this kind of'." Khushi blurted out in one breath and stopped on hearing a flow of giggles around her and seeing an amused pair of hazel eyes staring at her. "Lavanya!" she shouted not understanding the sudden change in the mood of her best friend!

Lavanya could not stop but burst out laughing on watching Khushi; her crazy antics; her angry face, her funny expressions, taking out several conclusions of the incident that had just happened, blaming each and everyone, blabbering non-stop! "This was indeed the typical Khushi Kumari Gupta!" she thought!

"She was just angry! Now what happened? Hasn't she gone mad? Oh No Khushi! What will I do if really she has gone mad? Wait let me think'.Urmmm Maybe she has got a shock after this shitty meeting; yeah and she couldn't bear the shock! Oh No! Lavyyy! Now what am I supposed to do? Hey Devi Maiya! Help me!" Khushi was still pondering over her sudden "discovery" when she was interrupted by a voice.

"Could you please excuse me?" came the voice of a young boy seeming to be around the same age as them.

He was wearing a pair of black denim, a white shirt with some blue strips at the sides, a pair of classic black Nike baskets.

Lavanya was awestruck on seeing the person in front of her. "Black and white! Hayeee! Dressed to kill! Blue eyes, fair skin and that sweet smile on his lips! Haye! He's so cute! Haw! Hey Bhagwaan! You have MADE wonderful people on earth! That's it! :D"

"Ummm! Hello, could you please excuse me; I need to enter the class! You are blocking the way!"

Lavanya was immediately brought out of her trance and looked at his mesmerizing figure; totally drowning herself in it whereas Khushi was still in her thoughts; cursing Sheetal now and then!

"Oh! Sorry! Yeah Sure" Lavanya said while moving away from the door finally giving way to the boy to enter.

Lavanya was still lost in him when he turned back and said: "By the way, I am NK! Nand Kishore! New here?"

"Oh Hi NK! Here's Lavanya! Yeah! We are new here; from india! You?"

"Hi Lavanya; I'm from India too! Nice to meet you!" "Your friend?" NK asked while pointing at Khushi.

"Yes! She's Khushi!" She said while waiting for Khushi to start with her crazy talks but undoubtedly, she was still occupied in her thoughts, of Sheetal, making some crazy signs with her hands and with funny expressions on her face which kept changing with the increasing minutes..

"Khushi! Khushi! Talk na! Khushi! OMG! Khushiii! BHPK! Are you planning to talk now? Khushi! It's useless!" Lavanya irritatingly kept whispering out her name and making signs for her to respond but she was Khushi! She didn't even take the name to come out of her thoughts!

"What happened to her?" NK asked curiously.

"Oh! Nothing! Nothing at all! She's just like this! Urmm' She's quite nervous actually!" Lavanya blabbered quite fast though to just slip out of this embarrassing situation.

"Khushi?? Hello??" NK called her

"JUST GO AND KEEP BARKING BEHIND THAT SHEETAL ARNAV! JUST GO!" Khushi retorted as she heard the voice of a boy calling her!

"Whoaaa Khushi? Hello?" a startled NK replied back. "I am NK; Nand Kishore! Not Nannav!"

"Excuse me? NANNAV?" Khushi replied back, totally amused by the name "Nannav!".

"Nannav you know! Arnav! He's my cousin and I affectionately call him Nannav."

"Hahaha! You call this affectionately! I would rather say you call him Nannav to irritate him or to tease him! Nannav! :-P" Khushi said coming back to the mood now!

"Anyways Khushi! You also have problem with Sheetal! That's not surprising at all!"

"What do you mean by "me also"?"

"Ha! You are not the first one to whom she has barked upon at!"

"Barked? Now that's copying! You are copying my dialogues NK! It's not fair!" Khushi said with a smirk!

"Finally god! She is back to Khushi! I wouldn't have supported her "mourn vrat" (Fast of silence) more now!" Lavanya was mentally thanking god and as well as NK!

"Ok ok! Sheetal is always like that! She is very strange, odd and weird. I have been with her since the past 2 years and I haven't yet succeeded to understand her! I mean, she is so unpredictable and erratic; sometimes impulsive when it comes to Arnav! She is even vile and despicable sometimes'"

"Yes! Exactly! She is the vilest person I've ever known! The way she spoke to us was pathetic! She looked so wretched and wicked! Hey Devi Maiyya! Her behaviour already makes me disgust the other students. I wonder how they will be if this Shit-al is like this! Hey Devi Maiya! I hope they are not like her! I am fed up! I feel like strangling her! Grrr! Dare she talks to me again, I'll murder her and go to jail! And Arnav? He is so nice, charming, amiable, affable, easygoing and charismatic person! He has good looks, he is one sort of everyone's "dreamboy"! Then how can he fall for Sheetal! She is so enigmatic, unfathomable, inscrutable, fickle and quite mean; I don't say she is not pretty, attractive et cetera but she is rather more seductive type' I don't know but I am sure there is something wrong in her!" Khushi said while brooding on each word that she said; for the first time maybe'

"Yeah NK! She is very wicked!! The way she spoke to us; She even ill-spoke to me' I don't like the bit of the "wild" part in her. She seems very evil type person! I agree with you Khushi! There's something fishy in her' Even if I have a boyfriend, I will never be so over protective; never! If Arnav loves her, he will remain faithful to her no matter what! There is a feeling of uhhmm'. I can't tell what'but it's absolutely not insecurity! NK! ARE YOU SURE THAT SHE REALLY LOVES ARNAV? I DON'T THINK SO'" Lavanya said in a suspicious but quite convincing tune which made Khushi a bit alert; especially the last lines'

"Ok guys! Let's stop all this ShiNav discussion now and get into class! Let's mind our business and forget about them! It's their life and they will see what they will do! Come on! Let's go!" Khushi said in her usual chirpy tone but although this, she was still lost in these thoughts, somewhere inside her'

"Yes! Right!" both Lavanya and NK said in unison which followed by a furious blush session of Lavanya! "But what ShiNav?" both again said altogether! And this time Lavanya had her gaze fixed on the ground still blushing, not even daring to look into NK's eyes!

"Sheetal and Arnav! ShiNav! And Nk, I don't like calling you Nk! From now, I'll be calling you Nanhe!" Khushi said while giggling and immediately rushing in the class taking her seat in the first vacant place with Lavanya sitting at the side of her.

She was just settling herself down when she heard a voice calling out her name, a familiar voice, a comforting voice, that husky voice, it was Arnav!

"Hey Khushi!"

"Arnav?"

"Yeah Arnav here! Do I look like a character of some ghost movie or what?"

"Urrr???"

"Why are you staring at me? What happened?"

"Uhmm.. Nothing! Hi! How come you are here?"

"Khushi?? Are you okay?(Imagine Arnav's O-Khey! Aww! *Starts dreaming* Get up rhea! You have to complete this chapter and then day dream! Come on Rhea! Only a few paragraphs! Yes! :-D :-P LOL)"

"Yeah! I am fine! Was just' leave it! How come you are here?"

"Khushi! You forgot? Remember we just met one hour ago; and we came to know that we were in the same class! Remember?"

"Yeah! Oops! Sorry! Yeah! So you sit here?"

"Yeah! Just in front of you! :-P (Rhea starts imaginating rabba ve in class! Vaah! Rhea! You are great! Kahan kahan pe rabba ve daalte ho! *Pats shoulder*) Well, do you remember we met in the morning or I'll have to do another class of IQ?"

"Yeah! Of course I remember Arnav! I was just'"

"If you have any problem "Worry minister" please tell me! I'll help you! Anyone said anything? What happened?"

"WHAT? "Worry Minister"????????? What the hell is this?"

"Your nick name! :-D We are friends now! So, a nickname is needed right?"

"Uhhh''Eummm'. Ohhh'.. Ye--- Yeahhh!"

"So you remember our morning encounter! I hope you keep wearing blue! You know! You look very' very sexy in blue!" Arnav said with a wide smirk!

"N---- N----- NO! I hate blue! Ye----Ye------sss----- YES! I h----a-----te blue!" Khushi said followed by an "ouf! Bach gayi!"(Ouf I am safe!) when the teacher entered the classroom.

"Good morning boys and girls! I am Mr Smith, your new Design teacher! Hope you had a wonderful holiday because now you have a hectic year ahead! Especially with the Student Of The Year Competition! I'll not take much of your time today! It'll be only a warming up class, so that you all feel acclimatized to Oxford! Yes students! We do have some newcomers this year! So, can the newcomers please introduce themselves?" the teacher said with zeal in his voice!

"Hello, I am Khushi Kumari Gupta from India and was formerly from Xaviers college. I hope I can cope well in Oxford and enjoy my university life to the best! Thank you!"

In this way, everyone started to introduce themselves; to say there was a good number of a newcomer!

Khushi, who was not habituated to stay quiet over such a long time started feeling bored; very bored in fact and unknowingly started to kick Arnav's chair in the front. Arnav was pretty shocked but when he turned back, the view that he saw was more than captivating! Khushi was busy scribbling something on a piece of paper with her head fully immersed on the table, her locks coming on her face; in front of her eyes irritating her; making her frown from time to time'

"She looked like an angel on earth totally innocent, lost in her own world'" Arnav thought. In no time, an idea clicked his mind!

Khushi was disturbed from her little work by a piece of paper thrown on her.

Bored?
-Arnav

Yeah! To death! God knows, what's the need of this intro!
-Khushi

I know! Smith is like that! This will be the most boring class
of the year! Bear that! There's a lot to go!
-Arnav

OMG! As if, you had to tell me now! God knows how I'll
be able to live in his class! That's awful! More than hell!
*Pouts*
-Khushi

I know! I have been sleeping all the yearlong in his class! He's
such a bore! Ask me how I survived last year! :-P
-Arnav

LOL! :-D How did you survive? Tell me! Tell me! I want to
know the secret too! Please! :-P :-P If you had been sleeping
idiot! Then how did you study for exams? :-P LOL
-Khushi

Actually, I survive by breathing! What about you? o.O
For exams, I actually tie a "God's thread" to my wrist and take
god's name before answering each question! Coincidentally, the
answers turn to be right! :-D LOL!
-Arnav

Hahahahahaha! :-D LOL! You have that humor huh! Actually, we
both survive by humor! You see the coincidence! :-P We are very
similar na? :-P :-P
-Khushi

Yeah! That's right! You too actually; Your friend too has a great
sense of humor! :-P "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Arnav!" Oh my! :-D
That was very damn funny! The funniest thing ever!
Well, before you blush on paper, let me ask you; You're on fb?
-Arnav

:O You heard us? *Blush* *Blush* See I am actually blushing
on paper! :-P :-D LOL Mama said it's not good to hear other's conversation! :-P :-P HUH! Why should I tell you if I am on fb
or not? Why? o.O" Hum aapke hain Kaun? :-P :-P Ok, le'mme tell
you; if you insist! :-P Yeah I am! Who the heck of a teenager
wouldn't be on fb! That'll be weird! :-P
-Khushi

I should make Sheetal learn how to blush on paper too! :-P
Actually, I forgot to tell you, Sheetal is my girlfriend! :-D =D
And if she would have been in class,
I would have made you both meet each other! :-P
But she never comes into Smith's class! :-D You know why! :-D
Great! We can talk on fb too! :-D *Feels like jumping* Your ID name?
I'll add you right now! From my mob! :-P
-Arnav

Yeah! Sheetal! I know her! I've already met her! :-P You love her
a lot? :-P :-P Smith really has a great force of repulsion! :-P :-P
NO WAY! I won't tell you! :-P
Find it out yourself! Mr I-Know-Everything! :-P JOKING!
But still I won't tell! :-P :-P
-Khushi
