MINE

Part 13 - Friends

KHUSHI

I sat down on the sofa as Aditya and Arnav did the bro hug thing, since when did they become friends though? Although I could notice that Arnav was a little bit uncomfortable with it, I dint know if it was me just thinking or maybe he dint like Aditya much for some reasons.

He sat down on his place as Aditya walked towards me and sat beside me throwing his arm around my shoulder, I noticed Arnav flinching but well like I said, maybe it was just me noticing weird stuff.

"So how come you are here at this time?" Aditya asked, I smiled looking at him, was he jealous of Arnav being here?

"Actually there was someone stalking her so I was just trying to sort that mess, I came to talk to her regarding it." Arnav said, he sounded really uncomfortable, maybe it was because he dint know Aditya, so it was natural for him to feel uncomfortable around him.

"Wow, you dint tell me you had a stalker, so many women in this world and yet all the men have their eyes on my girl." Aditya smirked as he looked at me, I slapped his arm playfully and giggled, when I turned to look at Arnav again, he was looking around the mansion as if it was the first time he was here.

I don't know why but his behavior really felt different, I could notice it change since Aditya walked in, maybe it was awkward for him.

"Actually it wasn't really a stalker, just some journalist, but Arnav dealt with it." I explained to Aditya and then looked back at Arnav and smiled at him.

It had been just a short time since we knew each other and like he was the owner of AR designs, I hadn't expected him to even care about this but he took his precious time and helped me with this problem and I really appreciated it.

I was just starting to get to know him and he looked like a great guy already, oh great plus hot, yep, that picture was still stuck in my mind.

"So how long have you been together?" Arnav asked.

"Quite a while." I said.

"Yes and all this while I've just been living in fear that one day someone might take her away from me." Aditya pouted, I looked at him and pouted back.

Well at times I also wondered why I was really in this relationship, not that Aditya wasn't good, he was great, maybe the perfect boyfriend also but clearly there was no love from my side, and I did try a lot to love him but it wasn't something I could do it, it was something that just happened, when and how, you wouldn't know.

I guess I had some issues with love, I had dated so many guys that were actually worth falling in love for but yet I never felt anything like love towards them, I don't know what my heart was really looking for.

"Well yeah, if she was mine I would be scared to lose her too." Arnav said as stared right at me without blinking, I dint even know what to make out of that sentence.

There was an awkward silence for a while until Arnav stood up.

"I guess I should leave now, it's pretty late, I'll see you at work tomorrow for the shoot." He said.

"You should have dinner with us, it's the least I can do to thank you for your help." I said as I stood up too, he might not know but what he did for me was big, I dint want to live in fear of being stalked and he helped me take that fear away.

"Umm, I really don't want to be a third wheel." He said as he looked a bit hesitant.

"You won't, Ananya is also always with us whenever we have dinner, today it will be you instead of her that's it, I'm sure Aditya wouldn't mind also, would you Adi?" I asked as I looked at him.
