Part 37 Call from Arnav

Raveena's husband, Anil phone rang. He wondered, seeing Arnav's number flashing. Why is Arnav was calling him in the late hours? He attended the call.

*Hello Arnav...*

*How are you Jeejaji?*

*Doing good... how about you?*

*I'm fine... I would like to ask you something...*

*You can ask me anything*

*Is Di alright? She behaves weirdly these days...she doesn't mind hurting people... why does she do this?*

Anil gulped hard. What could he say? What would Arnav feel if he told the truth?

*I don't know Arnav. She is normal with us...*

*But she is not with us...* Arnav said without hesitation.

*Is she troubling Khushi?*

*A lot... I don't think she is doing this unintentionally...she makes all of us upset*

*You don't worry Arnav... I will do something about it*

*Thanks*

Arnav disconnected the call and looked at Khushi, turning his face. She was sleeping peacefully. He came in closing the French door not making noise. Switching the lights off, he leaned on the recliner to get sleep.

The next morning

Arnav woke up from his sleep and didn't find Khushi on the bed. He sat on the recliner squeezing his eyes. Taking a towel, he went to the washroom.

Taking a bath, he came wiping his hair with a towel, looking for Khushi. She was still not there. He dressed up quickly to go downstairs.

Today, he was going to go to the office. He had taken two days extra off from the office already. He has to start working. Arvind was handling AR all alone. Arnav wore the tie thinking about it. He turned around. Khushi was standing behind him.

Arnav looked at Khushi without any expression on his face whereas she was standing with a smile on her face as usual. She had something in her hand and she was hiding it behind her.

"Could you extend your hand?" She asked.

"For...?" he asked shrinking his eyes.

She showed a friendship band. This was what she was hiding...?

"To tie this..." she said looking at the band.

Arnav raised his eyebrows.

"What's this?"

"Friendship band..."

Arnav looked at her firmly like ARE WE FRIENDS?

"I know you have not accepted me as your wife yet. Let me be your friend... after all, we are roommates... and I think, more than a husband and wife, a couple should be friends... right?"

Arnav extended his hand, nodding yes smilingly. A true Friendship is a pleasant relationship people hardly get. He did not doubt that Khushi would be a good friend of his.

"I would have tied the friendship band a long ago if I had known you are fine with that..." She said while tying the band on his wrist.

"How could you have tied it a long ago...? Today is friendship day, right?" he asked frowning.

Khushi nodded NO controlling her laughter. And everyone knows what would have Arnav told.

"What the..."
