Antecedent or Accident??

Episode 17 - Friends?

Arnav: Khushi , Where is Sahi?

Khushi: Tell me your answer.

Arnav: I'm sorry Khushi, I really am. I now realize my mistake. I think Karma served me well. After all I did to you...

Khushi: shh.... But Arnav you needn't ask sorry in front of everyone. You could've asked me directly .

Arnav: I asked you. But you didn't. Remember?

Khushi: But not like that!!! I wanted a better one. I am not a remote control, just as you ask sorry in a park and I'll be forgiving you. You are in extremes!

Arnav: I'm sorry about that too Khushi.

Khushi lets a tear fall.

Arnav: So are we friends? (extending his left hand)

Khushi: Of course(connecting)

As soon as she connects, she has chills in spines. She let go of it immediately.

Arnav: But where is Sahi? I badly wanna see her.

Khushi: She is at home. She persisted to stay. But I asked her to go. It's 2.30am by the way.

Arnav: Oh! I understand. Good thing that she went away. Does Di know anything about this?

Khushi didn't know what to say and she changed the topic. She made him comfortable by making the eiderdown perfect for him.

Khushi: It has been so many years Arnav! Where were you? How are you doing?

Arnav: Well I'm good (sulkily). What about you?

Khushi: I'm well. I didn't know that you and Sahithya became so close. It's good that you are still maintaining the relationship.

Arnav: Yeah Thank you Khushi. By the way who was it? Who was that guy with you?

Khushi: you mean Venkat? He and I are.....

She blushed.

Arnav(smiling): You mean??

Khushi blushes and nods.

Arnav: Congrats Khushi. I am so happy for you. Wonder what you might have done to him seeing for the first time. Was he hospitalized? Did you beat him thinking him as me?

Khushi laughed but it turned out to be a cry later. She has tears in her eyes.

Arnav: Why are you crying?

Khushi: It's because of me... (weeping)

Arnav: Sh... Plz I deserved this. But Thank God, well anyways he doesn't exist for me. If I hadn't undergone all this you wouldn't have been standing in front of me. Thank you Khushi for forgiving me. I would never do this to any other person again. It's a great lesson for me.

Khushi smiles with tears.

Arnav: Khushi, I wanted to ask this! Don't think me wrong... But did you fall for Venkat because of me?

Khushi remained Silent.

Arnav : I mean.. I... don't mistake me..... It was just my curiosity. I know I shouldn't be asking all these but....

Just then her phone rang and she goes outside. It was Venkat and he asked about Arnav. He cared for her too much.

She came back inside. Arnav was still awake.
