Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I sho...
Khushi had been blindly in love with her childhood best friend, Arnie. Every day, she prayed for his happiness, but she forgot that his happiness didn't necessarily mean being with her. He had his own priorities, his own dreams.
Just because he liked to spend time with her didn't mean he loved her in the same way. For him, she was always just a friend. But for her, he was much more than that. She had always seen him as her life, the very essence of her existence. She couldn't imagine a life without her Arnie.
From the day Sonia entered their lives, Khushi had come to understand that she couldn't force her emotions on others. Arnav liked Sonia, and that was his choice. Initially, she had thought Sonia was a brat, but after getting to know her, she realized that Arnie had indeed made a good choice. Sonia was confident, outgoing, and a much better match for Arnav than she could ever be.
Sonia called herself Arnav's girlfriend, and if they loved each other, who was she to interrupt? Despite being together for so many years, Khushi now realized she didn't know Arnav as well as she thought. She couldn't even be a good friend, let alone dream of a life with him.
Her love for Arnie couldn't be judged. It was pure and true, like the air she breathed. But her love would remain hidden, as it always had been. The only regret she had was that she wasn't bold enough to confess her feelings when she had the chance. The choice could have been his, but at least he would have known her feelings.
She had gone to him, ready to confess her love on Diwali night, to lay her heart open on the festival of lights. But she overheard a heartbreaking sentence: "I'll stay away from Khushi" Arnie had told Sonia.
He was right. It was better to stay away. She couldn't keep hurting herself by seeing him and Sonia together.
They were going to Mumbai, and Aru's recovery would take around a year. Hopefully, that time would be enough for her to let him go, and for Arnie to move forward with Sonia.
But little did she realize, it was the calm before the storm. ------------------------------------

"Sorry Bhai.. wo, you know about girls na.. we take time to get ready" Khushi tried to sound funny but anyone can hear the pain in her voice
