Khushi's POV
So back in the UK, there is a slang/term that is often used to resonate with the situation off an individual developing romantic feelings towards another. What is this slang/term, if you may wonder? It's the slang including three simple words – I fancy you. And in case you are wondering, why am I even beginning with that? It's simply because, I have no other option but to confess to myself (at least within) - that I Fancy Him. Only fair. No point in playing games with myself.
I fancy Arnav. And I do not mean, I am beginning to fancy him( perhaps that happened within the first hour of meeting him, a week ago) - what I do mean is that surely these developing feelings have passed the mark off the beginning stage. They are growing. Hard and Fast.
In my mind, I know I shouldn't really allow myself the liberty to feel this way for him given the situation of him being from the past + that he will surely go back,but I guess, for the first time in my life, I find myself succumbing to the point of helplessness in this regard. I can't seem to help it. I simply have not been able to stop myself from falling for him. Its not my fault – really!! Who told him to be so marvellous and outstanding and endearing and enchanting?????????????????????????????
Boy, I am in trouble?? Aren't I?
Ideally, when one finds themselves in such a situation, they can surely use distance as a control measure, as in put in some distance in between oneself and the person in context of one's developing affection and feelings, but in my case – that is just not possible. There is no way, I can put distance in between of Arnav and me given the situation we are in and it isn't just that, its also about the realisation that I don't want to put any sort of distance in between him and me. I just don't want to. Its as if a part of me just wants to soak in all the moments it can in his enchanting company, as long as fate would have it. Surely, one day, he would go back to his time, and all I would be left with is the memories. His memories. And its begun to feel like if I can't have him, then surely, the memories are the second - best option left to chase...
