Arnav... I'm Arnav

Part 22

You stay out of it. He will definitely come with me.'' Sheetal was not ready to leave so easily.

''No, he won't.'' A voice came from behind.

Everyone looked at the person and was surprised to know who that person was.

''Bu... But.. why? Why won't he?'' Sheetal stammered.

''Because I'm his GF, and I won't permit my boyfriend to dance with you.'' An arrogant reply came from her.

Listening to her words, everyone forgot to blink. They looked at Arnav, who avoided meeting anyone's graze.

Now, no one knew what to say or what to think.
.........................................

The person came forward and went near them and stood between Arnav and Khushi. Then she surprised everyone by holding Arnav's hand.

''And I think my darling will agree with me. Hain na darling? (Right darling)'' She asked, looking at Khushi.

Khushi grined in response and expressed her approval by nodding her head.

''See. Now, if you guys move aside, I will introduce my special guest.'' She said, holding Arnav's hand in her hand and looked at Khushi.

''And I don't think I can only introduce Arnav without his happiness. So Khushi, come with us.'' Saying this, she just grabbed Khushi's hand in her another free hand and started walking with them toward the center without waiting for anyone's approval.

Sheetal and others looked at Anvesha as if they saw some ghost 👻.

''So, my dear students, as you all know, Arnav has earned a very prestigious position in the recent competition, so today's party is dedicated to him.''

Everyone clapped in appreciation!

''Don't show so much appreciation, students. My bf is a very shy type.'' Anvesha said and winked at Arnav.

Flashback

''I know it's very hard to survive in this world without having someone to call yours. I, too, have faced this phrase. I can feel your pain.'' Anvesha said, still sitting on the floor of the storeroom.

Arnav stayed silent without responding.

''Let's do one thing. But you have to promise me you will listen to me and won't back off.'' Anvesha said in a commanding tone.

Arnav looked at her with his questioning eyes!

''First, you have to promise.'' Anvesha almost demanded.

Without any other choice left, Arnav nodded!

''As both of us don't have anyone except a sanki bff in common which is obviously Khushi, why don't you become my bf and I will be your gf.'' Anvesha said with a grin.

Arnav looked at her, shocked.

''Don't get so shocked, BF. I need to arrange a party for my first ever bf. So. For now 0 bf. See you tomorrow.'' Anvesha got up from the floor and left the storeroom as if nothing happened.

.....................

Everyone, including Khushi, laughed hearing this. Anvesha hid her smile and faked anger and said ''Why are you guys making fun of my bf? Don't worry bf if they make fun of you again, then I will restigate them all.''

Hearing her, they laughed even more.

Far from their group, Sheetal was fuming, seeing all of them laughing.

''Laugh as much as you want today because I won't let you guys laugh tomorrow. '' She angrily went away from there.

........................

The dance floor was opened for everyone and few of them were seen dancing there. Akash ruined Payal's dress while showing off his dancing skill. Now, Nk was in search of his dance partner while Zoya and Aman were already on the floor. Though they were doing everything but dance. Fighting would be the perfect world for their action.

''Wanna join them?'' Arnav asked, seeing her looking at the dance floor.

At first, Khushi was shocked but tried to nod negatively, but she was late as Arnav held her and took her to the dance floor.

''Come on.. Don't be nervous.'' Arnav tried to erase her nervousness.

Both of them sway with the tune of music. Others looked at them in awe as they danced like a pro without any communication. Though they did not talk but their eyes spoke volumes.

Sheetal looked at them angrily. Suddenly, she felt something in her tummy and hurried towards the washroom.

Seeing her going towards the washroom direction, Aman and Zoya hi fived. Sheetal spent the remaining night inside the washroom :3

After the end of the party, Arnav took Khushi with him and safely brought her back to her house.

When he was about to go, Khushi held his hand and insisted him to come inside her house.

''Not now. It's already quite late, and I don't want to disturb anyone. Will definitely meet your family some other time.'' Arnav replied.

Khushi pouted.

''Now go inside. '' Arnav pushed her to go inside her house...

.......   ...........

After a long day, Arnav finally entered inside his house. The environment inside the home was much quieter than usual. Arnav didn't want to come face to face with any of his family members, so he hurriedly entered the store room.

After getting fresh when he again entered inside the store room, he found Ratna there.

Arnav immediately looked down as it had been a habit of him to never look straight into her burning eyes.

''What do you think of me?'' Ratna shouted.

''Wha.. what.. I di.. didn't understand? '' Aranv stammered.

''Why did you give me credit for your stupid achievement?'' Ratan again shouted.

''Because you are my Mumma.''

''Mather who! No one would like to be your mother. You are a curse. I can not stand your existence. Don't you ever dare to call me Mumma?''

''But why? Why are you still treating me like this?'' Arnav, for the first time, looked up and asked.

Till now, Arnav hadn't noticed the ruler in his hand. Ratan rushed to him and started beating him.

''You are asking me why? Because you killed my Arvind. Because of you, he is no more.'' Ratna beat him using all her strength.

''Would you be happy if I had died instead of Father that?''

Suddenly, Ratna stopped beating him and looked at him speechless. After a minute, she went away from there without replying.

All night, Aranv sat there remembering about their happy moments and his beautiful childhood. He could not stop but debate on the topic.

''Dose he really not deserve to live?''
