Chapter: Seven

"God.. It has been a week!" Arnav exclaimed seeing Khushi in front of him 

"Arnavji" Khushi nodded in meek acknowledgement. 

"Where the hell have you been??" He asked 

"Er.. Uh. Home Been busy lately" Khushi stuttered nervously

"Oh." Arnav whispered suddenly realizing the way he had been talking.

"I-I should be.. Leaving Arnavji. Got company" Khushi said 

Arnav nodded looking into her eyes. She was sad, But why? Wait.. Company?

Khushi turned the other side and walked away while Arnav stood frozen at his place. still trying to figure out the reason for her sadness and sudden discomfort

A while later, Arnav was sitting in a cafe waiting for Yash Singhania to show up. The two had to work together in an event and thus, Despite not wanting to be here ethic had forced the ASR to stay and wait for the son of their oldest allies in the fashion world. 

"Just five more minutes Aman and we're leaving this place if he doesn't show up" Arnav said

"Alright ASR." Aman snapped

"What?" Arnav turned to aman

"What's bothering you?" Aman asked

"Nothing. Why would something bother me?"

"I can see it on your face. You're more worried for something or rather someone than you're pissed off on That Singhania for being late" Aman said

"I saw her. After almost a week. I saw her in this mall" Arnav said

"And?" 

"She was troubled. I don't know why" Arnav said

"Everyone has a life Arnav and their own set of problems. If she wants to she will tell you what is bothering her. If not... You can't necessarily force  her into revealing the worries of her life to you" Aman explained 

Arnav sighed agreeing to his friend 

"Finally Mr. Singhania is here" Aman whispered gesturing towards the man in his late twenties coming towards them with a lady 

"Hello Mr. Mathur, Mr Raizada I am really sorry to keep you waiting. Actually the lady here took long in shopping. Right lady?" Yash asked the girl who nodded meekly

Arnav looked up only to find a very familiar pair of eyes staring at him with shock and disbelief 

"Kh-"

"That's Piya" Yash introduced 

"Aman Mathur. And this is Arnav Singh Raizada" Aman forwarded his hand to the lady who stole a glance at the man on her side and after getting an approving nod shook his hand

"Piya Sharma" She whispered 

Arnav looked up abruptly when the former lowered her gaze

"I am hoping I am not troubling you by bringing her as an uninvited guest" Yash asked  

"No trouble at all. I am hoping Miss Piya isn't feeling uncomfortable with the men" Arnav spoke up first time in a while

"Oh She isn't. Are you honey?" Yash asked sweetly

Arnav saw Yash giving her a murderous look after which she responded with mere shake of head plastering a fake smile on her face

"So Mr. Singhania. Shall we start?" Arnav asked
