Khushi's P.O.V.

.

When Arnav uttered all those, I just kept staring at him. The look on his face was like he got the rough idea of my life somewhat.

I spoke up then, "You don't need to say sorry. You didn't do anything to say sorry to me. So don't say it. Whatever the matter was, but it's true that it was just me to drag you in this. So it should be me to say sorry not you."

Saying this, I turned to leave again but got stopped hearing him, "Then don't leave."

When I kept standing back facing him without turning to him, he came in front of me. He uttered with an apologetic face, "It's true that I got dragged but I also didn't give you the chance to explain your act. I just thought of myself. I was busy being selfish."

I was getting confused at Arnav's behaviour and spoke up, "No, Arnav. It's not the matter. It's just that we two were from different circumstances. How would you have known that vai and abbu.."

I stopped saying to this point and looked aside while trying to control tears as they were threatening to roll down any moment again but maybe I got obvious as I heard him uttering, "I am not asking you anything. I have got enough."

I turned and kept staring at him and he continued, "Look Khushi, I am a straight forward person. So I am gonna be straight with you too. I am not going to say 'I love you' as I don't at least not now. But I don't hate you either now. We can be friends if you want."

I gave him a confused look as I uttered, "Friends?"

He nodded and spoke up, "Look, I am that type of person who would scoff at anyone who would talk about love. I don't believe in love. So if you are expecting something like this from me, then I won't say anything. But we can be friends as we are already in this situation where life made us stand. Will this be enough for you?"

I kept quiet while pondering what to say. It's not like that it wasn't enough for me. As I was a girl who had always been left behind all by myself whatever the situation was.

It's also not like I couldn't believe Arnav as he already hurt me. It's just I wasn't being sure if this was for really happening this way.

Arnav's P.O.V.

.

When Khushi kept all silent, I thought she wasn't being able to believe me as I was also like her so called family members for all this time.

I was hating the fact that I was being thought of as in the same level with those pathetic excuse of human beings and she was leaving with such kind of thought about relationships.

Being unable to digest it, I spoke up again, "Look Khushi, will you please believe me for this time for once? If you feel, I am misbehaving again, you can leave then also, right?"

To my utter surprise, she was still silent. Shouldn't she need to say something!

I mean I should get one chance at least. Here I am going on pleading to her and she was just playing the role of being mute.

Then being impatient and likewise the way I am, I spoke up, "Listen Khushi, I believed you when you asked me to believe you, remember? So you have to believe me this time regardless I am looking trustworthy to you. You are not getting the option of 'saying no' to me now."

She seemed to get quite shocked hearing me this time. And then giving her a little bit of smile, I spoke up, "Shall we go home now? Everyone must be waiting for us."
