Part 20 - Thumbs Up

Part 19:

ARNAV

I kept on pacing in my cabin, I was kind of feeling so restless. My life seemed all fine until Khushi came and now nothing was fine anymore.

I thought I could get used to the idea of her having a boyfriend and whatever I felt for her would go away, but with each and every passing day, it just got stronger and stronger and to make it worse, that Aditya was actually such a good guy.

I did all I could, stayed awake the entire freaking night searching for anything bad about him, I called a few people who knew him and all I got to hear was that he was a good guy.

It was frustrating, because I couldn't find anything against him and I wanted him out of her life, but I dint know what to do to throw him out of her life, I was ready to do anything, I just needed an idea which I dint have at the moment.

It was like I was going crazy for her and she couldn't even see it and that was more frustrating, I felt trapped and I had no idea on what to do.

I sat down on my chair and switched on my laptop, I wasn't going to give up, not so soon, I had to do something, and if I couldn't find anything against him, I was going to look for ideas to throw him out of her life, it had to happen and very soon.

*****

I waited outside her house hoping she was going to be home, I dint expect her to be happy when she saw me, not at least after how I behaved with her earlier today, but it was just me being frustrated that I couldn't have her and I couldn't explain it to her either.

The servant opened the door, I asked him if Khushi was at home and he told me she was so I headed inside, she was in her room so I headed there, stood outside the door nervously and then inhaled a few deep breaths and knocked.

She opened the door and looked at me in surprise, it looked like she was sleeping and I disturbed her, her hair was in a mess and she was in her pajamas, she looked cute.

"I'm sorry I showed up so randomly, I just wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier today." I pouted.

"And I'm sorry for disturbing, I dint know you would be asleep." I spoke again.

"It's okay, I was just reading a book and fell asleep, I'm glad you came and woke me up otherwise I would have problems sleeping at night, considering its seven o'clock already." She said as she looked at the watch on her wrist.

"So am I forgiven?"

"Depends on the reason behind your behavior, it was really strange Arnav, I thought we were friends." She said as she walked inside and I followed her.

"How about I explain it on a dinner date? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"If I keep having dinner with you every day, my boyfriend is going to be jealous." She giggled.

"I know it's been happening almost daily, but today is the last day I promise."

"Relax Arnav, I am joking. Aditya and I have an understanding, I'm sure he would understand this." She smiled.

"So are you coming?"

"Of course, I don't say no to food. Give me a few minutes, I'll get ready and then we can leave." She smiled as she headed to her cupboard, picked up some clothes and then headed inside the bathroom to change into them.

She walked out dressed in pair of black jean and white top, not too fancy but good for a dinner date, she always knew what to wear and whatever she wore, just looked beautiful on her naturally.
