CHASING STARS

Chapter 35 - ( FOLLOW YOU )

Happy Reading :)

Humans are fragile little things aren't they?

Your age, maturity, experience and the various skills you learn while growing up. It's funny how they matter less when it comes to the things that possess the potential to break us. I mean, what hurts.. Just hurts. And sometimes there is no explanation for it.

There shouldn't be any explanations. Has explaining your pain ever worked?

Even if it does, not everyone has the ability to express their pain in the same manner.

It took a moment for everyone to catch their breath and remove the mesmerized look from their faces as they all stared at Khushi as she walked inside the café.

It's like she is wearing the meaning of her name on her skin. Beaming from head to toe.

The red scarf Arnav bought her saying he likes the color on her is wrapped around her neck and she carefully takes it off keeping it beside her as she sits beside Lavanya.

NK smiles at her as he greets her.

"What is up with the scarf Khushi? It's not even going with your outfit?" said Sam, making an annoying face.

"ASR got it for her." said Lavanya smirking at Sam watching him shut up after the information.

"And it's perfect!" said Sam quickly changing his comment

"Arnav Ji got this and I know it's not necessary for me to wear it every time but I just can't seem to let it go." whispers Khushi to herself while touching the material of the scarf.

"Khushi ji? Helloooo?"

Khushi comes out of her daydream as she hears NK calling her name snapping his fingers in front of her face to get her attention.

" Khushi Ji, that's not fair. Nannav is busy with work and you have to give some attention to your friend here. I am asking you a question here." said Arnav laughing cheekily at Khushi.

"Nothing like that, Nanhe Ji.. What were you asking?" said Khushi

"I am asking what got you glowing like that today? You are absolutely shining today."

Asked an curious NK

Without saying anything Khushi brings out a little box from her overcoat pocket and shows everyone what is inside making them squeal like teen-age girls.

A ring

Meant for her Arnav Ji

Simple in nature

Something which speaks of them when someone looks at it.

Simple platinum band ring with their initials engraved on it.

"I mean.. It's not very fancy and not really up to Arnav Ji's taste but it's just something I wanted to get for him on my own. Do you think he will like it? Is it too plain?

Or too tasteless? I am kind of feeling very nervous." said Khushi looking hopefully at everyone wanting to know their opinion

"Are you Crazy Khushi? It's beautiful. ASR is gonna flip out, I can bet my money on it.

You could buy him the tackiest thing and he is still gonna show it off to everyone like it's the most fuckin expensive thing in world." said Sam almost screaming at Khushi

"Couldn't agree more" said Lavanya agreeing with Sam

"Khushi Ji.. Nannav is gonna love it." said NK, assuring her nervous self.
