"Naina , I am sorry. It's not like I don't like your company. This is a mere guest appearance of mine to the party.With the congratulatory wishes over I'll be en route to pick up Arav back home."

"Even I want to meet Arav darling. Fine Arnav I understand. Do have a good time."

Putting on the mascara over my eyelashes I was done. Dressed in pale cream halter paired with short black skirt I was ready to attend my best friend Dia's first anniversary party tonight. My BBM vibrated as Ranveer's number flashed.

"Hey Ranveer, You sure coming tonight?"

"Defintely babes. Just I'll be late by an hour. Something important came up. I am sorting it fast. Why don't you start on your own? I'll join you there."

"Huh..Okay. Just do come at the right place."

"Yeah...I got the address Khushi. Well, see you tonight then."

"Bye Ranveer."

I sighed picking up my purse. Being stranded on a date was not a good start. Being late on your BFF's first anniversary wedding part wasn't good either. The table alarm showed 6:00 pm. Hurriedly I made a dash for the exit.

The hallway wasn't empty as I entered. Arnav was already there fully dressed in a gorgeous black tux thrown casually over a white shirt with hair all sleek and glossy. The black stubble showed on his face highlighting his full cheek bones. His eyes weren't blank and cold as usual & he seemed a distant reminder of his happier self back in the college farewell party.

"You do clean up well Arnav."

"Can't say the same to you Khushi. Is it a date or a office meeting with Rodger. You need to have your hair down."

"I look perfect. Do keep your unwanted advice to yourself."

"You simply keep your eyes to yourself." He sheepishly grinned.

His evil grin notched up his irritating self." Just wish to never see your face again."

"Is that what you really want Khushi?" The grin had vanished from his face. The temperature in the hall went cold.

Standing below his apartment I stopped the first cab in sight." Wildwood Crest, Trenton."

"Hop inside Mam."

The wind whipped against my face as the cab made its way to Trenton, New Jersey. The speeding lights outside made a blurred vision. Arnav stood there in his black tux chatting happily with his friends and admirers. He looked younger, stress free and genuinely happy. An insecure jealous me stood in a corner watching them. I had run away unable to bear anymore when the first time he had stopped and kissed me.

I closed my eyes trying to hold back the treacherous tears. Now that same Arnav is no longer that same person. He has changed and so has our relation. I had always dreamt of becoming his wife. Continuing this journey of life with him by my side. Celebrating our first anniversary just like Kim and Dia. True I was his legal wife now but never more distant from him.

Wiping away the lone tear I chided myself for recollecting old memories. I reminded myself of my resolution to start anew. Trying to focus outside, the new surrounding intrigued me. The highway seemed deserted to be a national highway connecting New York to Trenton.

"Driver, is this the right route? I don't see any hoardings or major traffic?"

"Mam, this is a shortcut I used. We'll save half an hour going this way."

I eased back into my seat when Ranveer's message beeped. On my way to the hotel..

The cab went on going as the eerie surroundings outside never seemed to vanish. Everything was deserted outside.

It had been a long while , there wasn't any sign of habitation except for broken motels and wilderness overrunning existing buildings. Only once or twice a car has passed. Suspecting of foul play I asked the Driver to stop.

The cab halted . I leaped out and shouted." Where the hell have you brought me? Wait I am calling the cops." I was about to dial the number when the short crouched driver snatched my cell. Pointing a knife towards me he began," Now, not acting smartie lady. Handover all the cash and stuff you have.Now!" he placed the cold edge of the knife over my throat.

"Fine..." I stuttered. "I'll hand over everything but how will I get back once you leave."

"Holy #@$. Just hand everything over."

"Only if you promise to return my cellphone. Whatever you do , don't press the right button . It has my bank account number."

"Really?" He took the bait and felt surprised. The knife moved a few inches away from my throat. Seizing the opportunity I knocked his head with my purse and snatched my Blackberry from his hand making a dash for the nearby hedges. Pressing the first saved contact with shivering hands , I waited for help.

"Arnav, it's me. I need help. The driver's trying to rob me on a deserted highway..."

"Simply call 911."

"Forget I ever asked! " Disconnecting him at once I started to dial the emergency number.

"AAArrgggHHH" A pair of rough hands once again snatched my cell and threw it into the green wilderness. His tight clasp on my wrist hurt as I wildly tried to fight him off. Screwing his eyes with my nails he started howling in pain. I made a run to make a more secure cover for me.

I prayed frantically as once again time seemed to slow down. The stars shone brighter as the night advanced. May be he has lost track of me. Heaving a sigh of relief I began cursing the man for throwing away my cell. All of a sudden some twigs creaked. I got alert as the sound of footfalls inched closer.

"Baby..come out wherever you are hiding.Or else I am going to hurt your lover."

"Khushi, Come out!" Hell NO. It was Arnav being held at gun point. The knife had been replaced by a country made pistol. My senses froze as I saw him standing with the driver pointing a gun at him.

"Let him GO!!" I ran out as fast as I could recover my strength ." You can have bloody everything." I flung the purse, bracelet at him and started to open my earrings." Khushi Stop it. He won't take anything from you."

"Keep quiet or else you'll regret. " He thrusted the gun in his back.

"NO..no...Don't. Arnav just listen to him."

"How much do you really want? I can give it you. Let the girl go!"

"Awww...sweethearts. Just what I detest. Now be a good boy and hand over your stuff to me including your car keys."

"On one condition- you return her stuff. I mean what with my Audi, her money isn't even a dent."

"You are so totally in love with her, don't you?"

"Very well I am having the car and you can keep your girl. " he pushed Arnav hard and threw my stuff on the ground making a dash presumably to where his Audi was parked.

"Arnav, are you alright?" I leaned over him.

" 'M fine. It was nothing."

"How the hell you ended up here? How did you find me? You let your Audi go?? I mean who exchanges small cash with an Audi for heaven's sake!"

"I have called the cops. They'll be arresting him as he drives my car. It as an GPRS attached which makes it traceable bringing me to your query- how did I find you? I tracked you via yours GPRS in your cell. Since you didn't have your cell with you anymore I needed the robber's help to locate you in hiding. Hence the hostile drama."

"You did not answer how you ended up here? You said you weren't helping me yet you are right here."

"I just asked to call the cops and you hanged up. Luckily I was going to Trenton tonight so I could locate you in this deserted highway."

"Well thanks then." I grumbled.

"Easy girl, learn to call the cops first. I ain't a superhero who'll rescue you everytime."

"It was a mistake. Your contact was first so in that scurrying I happened to call you first. I was going to call the cops anways when that bas***d threw my cell."

"Are we done with the fight- who calling the cops first? I know in your heart you wanted me here. What about never wanting to see my face ever again?"

"Just stop it! I wish he'd have killed me. You'd been free from me!" Tears swelled up in my eyes.

"Hey...come here..." he tried pulling me close.

"Let go Arnav." I resisted in vain as he drew me in a warm embrace. Time stood still the third time tonight.

"Be careful what you wish for Khushi." His lavender scent hit me as his strong comforting arms gave me a familiar sense of support. He patted gently on my shoulders." Are you alright?" He asked in a low voice.

I looked up into his silent eyes." Where has Arnav gone? You can't be him. This person is being nice to me."

He stared intently in my eyes. "Aren't we getting late for Kim and Dia's anniversary party?"

"Shall we?" He put his hand forward waiting for my reply.

"Sorry...I already asked Ranveer to be my date tonight."
