Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

Part 44

Khushi was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling silently... everything kind of felt weird today. The meeting with Arnav and all went well but there was this one particular thing that was disturbing her.

When she walked into Arnav's room and found Saira there, it made her uncomfortable, she got it they were friends and all but why was she in his room and on his bed, and it just looked weird to her.

Of course, she dint say anything to Arnav but that moment was bothering her a lot, she couldn't stop thinking about it, it was making her insecure, Saira was so pretty, she seemed so perfect it made her wonder, why wouldn't Arnav choose Saira instead of her if he had a chance.

"Okay Khushi, stop thinking nonsense." She said as she sat up trying to brush off the thought, but they just kept on coming.

She wondered if yesterday was the only time they were so close or they spent time like that always, if it happened often, wouldn't that change things between her and Arnav?

"You aren't asleep yet?" Arjun asked as he walked inside the room as the door was open and he noticed her seated on her bed silently.

"I am not sleepy." She smiled faintly.

"What's bothering you?" Arjun asked.

"I dint say anything was bothering me, I just can't sleep."

"I am your brother Khushi, I've watched you grow up, I know when there's something bothering you. You can tell me, maybe I can help."

"I don't want to get an 'I told you so' from you." She said quoting the words with her fingers in air.

"I promise I won't. Come on, talk to me, tell me what's bothering you." He sat beside her and looked at her waiting for her to talk.

"It's Arnav... there's this other girl, he says they are friends and I believe him but... I don't know, she's just so perfect and then I saw then together today and I had weird thoughts. It's not like I don't trust him but I'm just insecure you know.

This long distance is just making it really hard, I thought it wasn't going to be that hard, we talk daily, we video call, we text and keep in touch but it's just... so hard." She looked at Arjun sadly.

"Okay, so do you think he is interested in this other girl or what?"

"No, I just dint feel comfortable about their equation, I don't want to be the jealous girlfriend that doesn't want her boyfriend to be friends with other girls but this one is bothering me."

"Then tell him, if he loves you like he says, he would do everything to make sure it doesn't bother you, even if it means not being friends with her anymore, or at least maintaining distance with her so you are secure." Arjun said.

"Wouldn't he get angry on something? I mean maybe it's stupid, maybe I'm being insecure for no reason."

"If he gets mad then what's the point of you two being together? He has to be understanding that insecurities would be there. You have to tell him how you feel otherwise you're just going to overthink things and make them worse."

"Okay, if you say so, I'll talk to him. Thank you for not giving me the lecture of we told you to stay away from boys and so." Khushi giggled.

"These are normal relationship problems Khushi." Arjun smiled as he moved closer and held her into a hug.

"I missed having you around, there was no one to entertain me." He laughed.

"Oh, so that is the only reason why you miss me huh?" Khushi pouted.

"I'm kidding." Arjun laughed, he broke the hug and looked at her with a smile for a moment and then stood up to leave so he could sleep and let her sleep too.
