CHAPTER 13
AROUND 12 MIDNIGHT
(Khushi was nt able to sleep as she was getting those nightmares again with those hurtful words that were hurled at her..making her get up from the bed n move towards the balcony that is attached to her room in which she was stayin....)
She moved towards kitchen to get a glass of water...when she heard her name being called from behind....
ASR:Khushi....wat r u dng here at this time??
Khushi:(shocked as she was nt expecting him)No i just came to get some water.....y r u awake??
ASR:I was waiting fr an international call...n i usually sleep at 1...but my laptop has no charge in it...so was thinking to wake NK n borrow his as he is sharing his room with Sohan....
Khushi:Oh!!!Thts ok...But u can use the desktop thts there in my room as jiju uses it most of the time fr his work...n it has webcam in it also...u can use it instead of waking up NK...
ASR:No,NO...thts ok...u might be sleepy now...i might need fr 2 hrs or so..u might get disturbed....
Khushi:No nt at all....however i am nt sleepy u can use it....thts nt a prblm...
ASR:OK thankyou...
(They move towards the room n Arnav starts doing his work...Khushi seeing his tired face n sensing tiredness in his voice when he is in call....thought to prepare a glass of coffee fr him....n leaves to kitchen...n gets a glass of coffee fr him...n places it on the computer table fr him to see.....)
ASR:(Mutes the call)There was no need fr this...
Khushi:Thts OK u looked tired and famished....u can have it..
ASR(smiles):Thank you
Khushi:Nt a prblm....(smiles)
(Khushi goes n sits on the single seater placed in the room n starts reading some magazine...)
2.00A.M
(Arnav finishes his call n other works looks to see towards Khushi to see her dozed off in the sofa itself...he smiles slightly seeing this...n covers her with quilt...n leaves closing the door behind n moves to his room with her thoughts lingering in his mind......)
NEXT DAY MORNING
AT BREAKFAST TABLE....8.00A.M
(Arnav was still nt awake as he slept late at night)
NK:So guys wat plans fr tdy??
Anjali:Wat u want to do NK bhai??
NK:Lets go outside somewhr like beach.....or any other place....
Anjali:U all go NK bhai...we have a parents meeting in shivay’s school so we both wont be able to cm!!!
NK:Ok di...Wat  abt Sohan n khushi??(He left Lavanya purposely bcs of yesterday’s stunt she did...)
Lavanya:Thts awesome!!!lets go to beach it ll be fun....
Sohan:I have no prblm if kuku joins...
Khushi:U all carry on...i don feel like gng anywhere....
NK:Oh...common Khushi.....lets go...its nt that we get time always to have some fun....its only us....Arnav wont be able to cm as he had an imp call last night...he might have slept late...
Khushi:Ya...i think he slept by 2 or 3...
Lavanya(shocked):How do u knw??
Khushi:There was some prblm in his laptop ,so i suggested to use jiju’s pc placed in my room as his work was urgent...!!so he might have left by that time...i am nt sure bcs i had dozed off in the seater itself....
(Lavanya din seem to like this a bit...where as Anjali n Sohan felt happy fr the efforts that both were making to understand n communicate with each other....)
NK:OK so me,Sohan,Lavanya n khushi r gng...n thats final!!
Khushi(sighs):Ok...
Lavanya:Yaaaaaay.....I’ll call few of my frns also...who stay here at Mumbai....(n she goes to her room to call them)
NK:OK guys as we need 1 hr to travel we ‘ll leave by 10...so that we can reach by 11...
Sohan:Fine....
AT 10.30A.M
(Arnav wakes up frm his sleep n the first thought comes in his mind was Khushi’s coffee...the way she guessed his tiredness just by lookin at him...he had badly wanted a cup of coffee at that moment so that he can feel refreshed but refrained frm asking so...n as it was nt his house he din knw whr the coffee ingredients would be...but Khushi made it or him...which kind of made him feel at home that somebody would be thr to take care of him...as he usually works mostly late night but as his Nani was too old to be awake or take care fr him...n he din expect frm her also considering her health....but somewhr Khushi’s concern fr him made him to feel like to have someone to call as his own...who would care fr him always)
11.30A.M
He came downstairs after freshnin up....but found none....
Mohan :Arnav beta...u gt up??Anjali beta n Shyam babu have gone to shivay beta’s school n others have gone fr beach...they told me to infrm u...as u were sleeping...
ASR:OK...
Mohan:Shall i  serve brkfast beta??
ASR:No let it be.....i ‘ll have later...
(He din feel like havin anythn first he thought he could spk to Khushi...but she was not thr on top of it all have gone to beach leavin him alone....OK he was sleeping but atleast they could have infrmed him...n tht stupid NK left me without tellin....with that call he called him....)

(Arnav threw his phone on bed in anger......how dare NK n Lavanya’s frns....trying to flirt with Khushi...yes NK was charming...n he had tht speciality to attract grls around him with a silly talks n funny jokes...but didn’t he get any other grl to flirt with apart frm his fiancé...ok nt fiancé but still...no i am nt gng to allow...thinking so he took car keys n left to the beach....)
12.30p.m
(NK sees Arnav’s car from a distance n gets to knw that he has cm....n texts somethn in in his phone...)
(Arnav reaches the beach....n gets the messg...thinking to be frm work...he takes his phone...it was messg frm NK....)
MESSG:OH...finally Lover boy has cm...my work is done....finally jealousy works on u also.....way to go bro....we r takin a walk near the water...we’ll be back u meet Lavanya n her frns in the lounge meanwhile.....
(Arnav smiles seeing the messg...n realised he was indeed jealous of NK when he left home...but now he was thankful to NK fr doin so n making him cm here n spend some time with her.....bringin a smile on his face...n goes to the place whr lavanya n frns whr present...)
