"Khushi...?" "A strong manly voice spoke in confusion.
Khushi's POV
Bad timing man. Bad timing! You could have come a few weeks ago! HE IS SO DAMN GOOD LOOKING!
I felt his hand on my shoulder as he gave me a little push. I suddenly looked up at him and he smiled at him just like he used to.
"Khushi? Is that really you?" -Rehan said excitedly.
"Yeah, I guess." -I smiled back and he pulled me into a hug which made my eyes go wide.
No guy has EVER hugged me! Never, ever. Nk is an exception.
As he pulled back from my-first-guy hug, his smile brightened. "Do you remember me? Rehan? We were in the same batch?" -He asked happily.
"Of-course I do, Rehan. How can one forget you?"
"Haha, yes no one can forget me." -Rehan said with a wink.
Just then as I was about to answer I saw a familiar figure coming towards the house entrance. Shit, what is he doing here again? Wasn't he supposed to be in the office!
Rehan followed my gaze and then looked back at me. Just then as I was about to say something I heard Anjali jee call, "Rehan? Khushi jee?"
"Khushi jee this is Rehan and Rehan this..." "Anjali couldn't complete as Rehan interrupted.
"Yeah, I know Khushi. We both already know each other." -He smiled and put a hand on Khushi's shoulder and pulled her closer.

Arnav's POV
I had come to pick up an important file which I had forgotten on my way to the office when I saw Khushi smilingly talking to someone. A guy to be precise.
She never smiled at me like that.
Why would she, you piece of shit?
But then I saw Di calling both of them and then what I saw had burned a whole inside my chest. He had touched her! Why did I get this feeling? I wanted to punch that guy in the face. It made me feel... I just... it felt like someone stabbed me inside! And then Khushi was all so comfortable with that guy.
When I tried to touch her...
You never tried to get close to her then there is no point of being jealous. My heart had suggested.
Jealousy? Was this jealousy? No it certainly can't be.
As I was walking Di called me to their little group talk and I stood right next to Khushi glaring at that guy who still had his arms around my wife!
My wife.

"Rehan, this is Arnav, my brother. And Arnav this is Rehan my partner for the NGO. He has helped me a lot that's why he has never gotten any time to visit us." "Anjali patted Rehan's back in a friendly gesture.
As Rehan smilingly had offered his hand to Arnav, Arnav had taken it in a tight hand shake with a nod following. "I've heard a lot about you Mr. Raizada." "Rehan said and shifted his gaze to Khushi.
The way he looked at her was not very nice, Arnav thought. Well the way Rehan looked at Khushi was almost the same look Khushi had once used to look at Arnav. Or maybe it was more than once, Arnav thought. It was all getting too disturbing.
"So Khushi what has brought you here?" "Rehan asked.
A forceful marriage! Khushi had wanted to say but before she could answer Arnav did.
"She's my wife." "he said curtly and suddenly Rehan's face turned blue.
"Oh! You're married?" "That was all Rehan could say. The atmosphere was getting colder than thought. But Anjali the observing one had decided to break the silence and make the environment a little light. She had started talking about the party and how less the time was and what had to be done.
Arnav on the other hand had been observing Khushi. Though it had been just a few minutes but they seemed like eternity to Arnav. He couldn't get full of her. He could stare at her all day long. Just look at her simple yet beautiful form. She was nothing like the other models, girls he has dated. She was nothing like Lavanya, precisely. Just as he was ogling at her, Khushi looked in his direction which made him instantly replace his gaze with the fruitless floor. By the second he realized she wasn't looking at him anymore, he turned to go get his file saying that he is running late but not before he glanced back at her.
Something was definitely going wrong with him. He had thought.
By the moment he got down he saw them still standing and what irked him the most was that Rehan had offered to help. And Khushi was smiling as bright as she could. He wanted to be the reason of her smile. But he certainly couldn't be because he realized he was a jerk.

Through the whole scene there was one person standing far away from everyone observing every move, every expression.
Nk had known who Rehan was. He must have known him better than Rehan knew himself. He was Khushi's crush. Who had broken her heart by dating one of the popular girls which had made Khushi very gloomy but she had gotten over it soon before he had left for America. When Nk had visited Khushi in Delhi Khushi had still talked about Rehan but then when Nk went back to America he wasn't in contact with Khushi.
But what had amused him the most was that Rehan was looking at Khushi the same way Khushi used to look at Rehan and there was Arnav as well, who was looking at Khushi the same way. But he would bet his best-friend would die but admit his feelings. Because he was ASR, the very-difficult-to-handle, ASR. And now Khushi looked at Arnav the way she used to look at Rehan but this time it was much more... passionate which would last forever.
And his poor, innocent Khushi was all oblivious to the guys staring at her in love or admiration. Nk had noticed Arnav's fists clenching and then unclenching. He had seen the look of jealousy. Arnav was so falling for Khushi, Nk had thought while patting himself in his head. And but the new character could be useful. Very, very useful, Nk had thought and planned.

As the preparation went on for the party, two old friends got closer. It was time for the sunset and Khushi seemed extremely exhausted by the amount of work in a day even having a dozen servants the work load of a bit heavy.
Rehan had been shown around the house and he was welcomed to stay a night on being constantly forced by Anjali and Nk. He had nothing to do but agree to it.
Rehan had grabbed two juices and asked Khushi to have them with him so they could get a little break. He took her out in the huge, green gardens of Raizada Mansion and into the white Gazebo and they sat on the floor looking at the sun set. After moments of silence Rehan spoke.
"You know Khushi; I've always liked you back then." "He cautiously said as he wasn't sure how she'd react and sipped onto his juice.
"What are you saying Rehan?" "Khushi questioned as her eyes grew wider.
"You know I bullied you when you were new at school and Nk had saved you up from me and had almost killed me. Then when years passed and while Nk had gone I started noticing you in a whole new way. And I fell for you... And I think I still... ""He stopped and looked at her. "It's no point now. You're married. And he probably loves you." "He whispered and looked up front as he sipped on to his juice further.
Khushi didn't know what to say. First her old crush appears out of the blue and now he confesses that he loved her?!
"...Why didn't you tell me before?" "Khushi murmured and Rehan looked back in her eyes.
"Because you were the girl who wouldn't go for relationships and you had no guy friends. Apart from Nk of-course. That's why I lost hopes and tried to distract myself from you by dating someone else." "He smiled. "But that's okay, every thing happens for a reason." "He said and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
And once again Khushi was left speechless. But she was shocked at her words that just slipped out of her mouth.
"He doesn't love me."
