***Arush's P.O.V***

I moved forward to pack mine and Kabir's usual lunch and with a last look at Sahana, I turned to leave, when her voice caught my attention again-

"...yeah he's exceptionally handsome and good-looking! You have no idea how glad I am that he's single!!.."

I froze at my spot hearing her words, and slowly inched towards her, while the huge pillar gave me cover. 

For some reason I felt something weird within me - I felt light and bouncy and I just wanted to go and cuddle everyone around me! I don't know why and how but there's a smile etched on my face right now!

Did she mean me when she said 'I'm glad he's single!'  ?? It is no secret that I'm single - given that I'm a pain in the ass and a complete asshole, gossips regarding me fly quicker than women running off to take advantage of a shopping discount!

And my relationship status has been a topic of interest for a lot of women, specially for bitches like that Ms.Sinha!

"..oh she's very possessive about people she loves and she has made it clear that I...her best friend...can't even look at him! She made me swear that I'm to call him bhai!.." came Riya's voice, and again, my lips automatically curved into a smirk - don't ask me why!

Sahana is possessive eh?! She's possessive about people she loves?! That's....great! Even I'm possessive about people I love.

NO DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!! I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HER!! I'M JUST... STATING..... THE... UM...SIMILARITIES...YEAH.... I'M JUST STATING THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ME AND SAHANA....AND THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO IT.... IGNORE THE PART OF ME WHO'S LAUGHING AT MY STUTTERING SELF, AND ALSO IGNORE THE PART OF ME THAT'S DRESSED LIKE A CUPID AND DANCING TO 'tune maari entriyaan'

"So when are you gonna introduce him to us?" some girl, jerking me to reality.

'Hello you already know me' was the first thought that ran in my mind.

"Oh no no.... although he's my bhai, he gets to choose whom he wants to go out with. Currently he's actually getting over the crush he has on one of his junior...But are you sure you want a sister in law like me?" Sahana asked, and the realization that she was talking about her brother hit me hard....it was like as though someone had just blown a really sharp needle to this balloon which had started to blow within me.

So she wasn't talking about me?! IT wasn't ME whom she was calling 'exceptionally goo-looking'?

"Okay fine, let's talk about a good-looking hunk from our own office whom we all can gossip about" came some other girl's voice.

Oh girls and their gossips!!

"Yeah...what's your opinion about Sharma sir?! Isn't he.....hawt?!" some girl said and I heard a few giggles.
