This story is written in POV of Arnav Singh Raizada.

I am, Arnav Singh Raizada aka ASR, a well known name to everyone. I am a multi billionaire and handling my own Fashion designing company apart from Raizada clubs. I was sitting on my office chair, reviewing some files. A knock on door made me come out of my concentration. I allowed the other person to enter.

Aman aka Ammy, was a manager cum right hand man of mine. Ammy can do any work even in my absence. He gave me reminder about something.

"Sir, Khushi madam has sent you this. You are supposed to leave at 7 to Taj hotel. Here is your invitation card sir."

I looked at Ammy with an unknown emotion and went through the invitation. Sighing I replied "Inform driver about this...."

I gave some more information to him and allowed him to leave the room. As soon he left, I went to my memory lane.

FLASHBACK

I and Khushi became friends when we both were doing engineering. Khushi was more into computers and I was studying Fashion Designing. We both became friends because we had same subjects in our first year. Our first meeting was not normal. We were walking through the corridor and bumped in to each other. I held her waist so as to save her, she put her hands around my neck so as to avoid falling down.

I, who was wrong scolded her for being careless, but Khushi being Khushi put on a fight with me by answering everything back and so on we started first as enemy. Playing pranks every time on each other was our favorite past time. But hardly our target was hit, it was always other fellow students or teachers. Soon we joined hands together and started playing pranks on other people. And our friendship started blooming. I was from rich family but never showed my attitude or bragged about my status, not towards Khushi at least. And Khushi who was from a middle class family never showed any difference towards the status.

I was avid lover of sports and outing, used to go out once in a month. This is how our friendship reached to another level, as Khushi was also fond of such things. When I told her once that I was going to go for skiing. She also showed interest but she backed of as her monetary condition was not suitable. My respect for her increased for her thoughtfulness. I made her ready by giving her swear of our friendship and took her with me on my own expenses. We both used to enjoy a lot.

Soon in second year we separated due to our different classes but our friendship was never hindered. I was even ready to offer a job to her in my dad's company, as I cannot see her roaming everyday company to company, giving interviews. She smiled and replied to me "Enough Arnav, I am getting dependent on you.." I smiled and said "SO??? we are friends and I can do anything for your friendship...."

Khushi smiled and hugged me. I who always felt complete with her, also took her into my embrace and we remained like this for few minutes. Khushi wanted to say something but her mind was not ready. I could sense her hesitation but she said bye for the day but looking at me longingly.

Last day of our exam came, Khushi was happy whereas I was restless. Khushi was happy for unknown reason and I was restless because my family was putting pressure on my shoulder about taking up my position in the company. My all restlessness vanished when I saw Khushi's smiling face. She ran and came into my embrace "Arnav, finally... pheww.... this engineer sucks... but done done done... finally done...." I smiled and said "Let's party???"

I was about to hold her hand she stopped me. I got confused but as she said "One minute Arnav, I want to say something....."

"What is it, Khushi???"

Khushi held my hands and looked into my eyes "Arnav, remember how we used to play pranks on each others???"

I nodded in smiling, she continued "Remember, the day we realize that we share same passion towards sports???"

I smiled and held her face in my manly palms "How can I forget this Khushi, where our friendship became more deep....But why you saying this???"

Khushi puts her palms on my palms which sent me shivers and continued "I love you Arnav, I dont know how, when and why??? I dont have those answers but this one... I love you..."

Noise of the door made me came out of my flashback. I saw Ammy holding my cloths, blazer and tie. I checked the clock and I know it was time, time to meet her.

As soon as I entered, I saw a person, who was signing some files, sitting on a round table with other businessmen. She was wearing a body hugging dress with a long slit towards her left leg. I could not feel anything as I felt for one person. I roamed my eyes across the hall and found her roaming here and there with a pregnant belly. That's the only thing put on a smile on my face and went towards her. I back hugged her.... And turned her toward myself. I saw her angelic face which was glowing due to her pregnancy and put a kiss on her forehead.

She looked at me with a twinkle in her eyes, she pouted and said "We missed you...."

I put my hand around her round belly and said "I am sorry. Dont be angry on me...."

She shied away because the way he was caressing her belly in front of everyone. She dragged me along with her towards a group of men. I allowed her to take me anywhere She tapped on the shoulder of one person to get that person's attention on her. I hugged him as soon as that person turned around. I congratulate him. "Hello Karan, congratulation and happy anniversary"

Karan Kundra, was also a fellow businessman, but yes nowhere near Raizada's, I am not boasting around but then fact is fact. He took her in his embrace, and I saw their lovey dovey moments. Karan told me "Arnav, Thank you for joining us today. I dont know how did you handle her, but Khushi here is crazy, she have an unusual cravings....".

I saw Khushi whacking him in a playful manner, and I thought "I need one more life to feel her love...."

I saw Karan kissing her, and rubbing his palm on her belly, "I need a one more life, to feel my baby in you..."

I feel envy of Khushi, as how she moved on with her life, I envy Karan as he has what could have been mine. But at the end I am the one to blame "I need a one more life to turn back time and say yes to her proposal"

Yes... It was my mistake, when she confessed, I told her that we wont be a match for each other as our liking's are too similar. That I believed in opposite attraction. She being a understanding one, backed off. But never our friendship was hindered. I looked towards my wife, who was busy with other person working on laptop, a true dedicated business woman. I went into an arrange marriage with her, when I found her attractive as well as opposite of me. But the funny thing is I need to make an appointment to love her, I need to make an appointment to have a chat with her.... I have seen how Khushi takes care of Karan, where my wife doesn't care what I do...Of course I envy Karan, because he has everything, where I keep longing for those...

"I need a one more life to set everything right"
