Chapter#5
Arnav kept an eye on Khushi through out the whole time. Not a single movement was missed by him. Just then he was distracted by Nk's voice.
"Wow that's new!" He said while putting his hands in his pockets.
"The great ASR staring at another girl" he continued pressurizing the words.
"I'm not staring at anybody" Arnav said calmly.
"You know you never lie, ASR. Then why now?" Nk said.
"Stop annoying me Nk." Arnav said gritting his teeth.
"Oh someone's angry. Well a few of us know who you're staring at" Nk said and ran away.

Khushi was sitting and having her food. Payal and Akash had gone out in the garden to spend some time together. And Khushi was in no mood of meeting her school friends because if she meets them then she'll have to meet Arnav as well and she didn't want that for no reason. Khushi was in her thoughts when she heard the chair being pulled...It was Arnav but of-course neither of them knew each-other.
Khushi's eyes widen as she saw him. And then suddenly anger struck her. She got up taking her plate, she was about to go when he held on to her duppatta.
"How dare you? Leave me alone" Khushi said pulling her duppatta.
"I will take revenge. Just remember that" Arnav said angrily.
"Revenge? Revenge for what? Revenge for bumping into you accidently?" Khushi said.
Arnav didn't say anything but just kept looking at her.
"Well you know, I should be the one taking revenge." Khushi said. With that she pulled her duppatta and ran away.
"Why did I do that?" Arnav thought. Arnav was confused. He felt a strong attraction towards her, from the very first moment. Just in a few hours he started being stupid around her what will she do when he starts seeing her everyday.

Khushi kept running, she was about to reach for the main door when it opened and a beautiful woman entered.
"Oops! I'm sorry." Khushi said.
"Oh know its okay" Anjali said smiling at Khushi. She looked at her dress and it had a little bit oil spilt on her sleeve.
"Your dress, it has oil" Anjali said pointing towards her sleeve.
"Oh no" Khushi said.
"You should wash that or else it'll get stained." Anjali said. "Come, I'll take you to my room" Anjali said.
"Oh thank-you so much" Khushi said.
While walking to the room she noticed that she was limping. "Is something wrong with your foot? Are you okay?" Khushi asked.
"Oh no, no. It's just that my foot is suffering from polio" Anjali said, smiling.
"I'm so sorry. I ... didn't know." Khushi said, regretting.
"Don't be" Anjali said. "You're such a sweet girl, what is your name?" Anjali asked.
"Khushi, my name is Khushi" Khushi said with a bright smile on her face.
"Why that's a lovely name! I'm Anjali." Anjali said.
"Nice to meet you!" Khushi said.
"Are you from Payal's side cause I haven't seen you here before." Anjali asked.
"Yes. I'm Payal's best-friend. I came from England two days ago" Khushi said.
"Oh...I see. Well I hope we keep meeting." Anjali said. "Here this is my room. You can go and wash it up" Anjali said.
"Oh it's your house?" Khushi asked.
"Yes..." Anjali said. "I'm going to go, okay?" Anjali said.
"Oh sure and thank-you" Khushi said.
"Your welcome sweetie" Anjali said pinching her cheek.

The function was finally over and it was time for the guests to leave. Khushi hugged Anjali and said her goodbyes. She looked up and saw Arnav staring at her. She rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

"So did you like Akash?" Payal asked adjusting herself in the bed.
"Yes, you both look extremely good together." Khushi said joyfully. Payal blushed up.
"Oh my God. I have to tell you something." Khushi said, suddenly remembering something.
"What happened?" Payal asked curiously.
"Something really weird happened with me." Khushi said.
"Will you tell already" Payal said.
"You know when I went to get the flower basket? I bumped into somebody." Khushi said.
"Whoo?" Payal asked.
"I don't know who it was but he was very good looking." Khushi said. "But then in spite of saying sorry to me he started being angry at me. I said sorry, TWICE, you know?" And he just kept shouting. But then I called him a freak and a laad governor and ran away" Khushi said.
"Oh no!" Payal said, worried.
"What?" Khushi said.
"I know who it was?" Payal said.
"Come on Payal, your looking at me as if it was Arnav." Khushi said sipping the coffee and laughing. Payal kept looking at Khushi with a frightened look on her face.
"I'm afraid, Khushi" Payal said.
"WHAT?" Khushi said, dazed.
