"have you heard me, you have to help me" the girl questioned, breaking Khushi's chainof thoughts.
"I landed just two hours ago, and I'm still in jetlag, and upar se we are meeting after" Khushi barked dumping the cloths back in the bag and scratching her head continued "oh yeah! One whole month and you are not even saying me "hello", wow Riddhima, you forgot all the manners?" she taunted, hands on her hips and an irritated expression playing on her face.
Khushi's best friend Riddhima, was standing in front of her, with her back resting on the room's door and her mouth forming a perfect "O", after slamming her forehead with her right hand Riddhima went to Khushi "sorry yaar" she said holding her ears " I missed you so much, that's why I came as soon as aunty told me that you reached" and with that she hugged Khushi.
"You come because you were missing me or because you need my help?" Khushi inquired pulling from the embrace and looking at Riddhima with curved eyebrows,
"Off course because I missed you" Riddhima made an innocent smile "it's a different story that I also need your help" she finished making a puppy dog face.
"Abb aaya nah truck pul ke neeche" Khushi said folding arms on her chest and tapping the floor with her right foot.
"sorry nah" Riddhima holds her ears again "say that you will help me, please!" she folded her hands before Khushi, pouting cutely.
"Fine" Khushi breathed out "with what I have to help you"
Riddhima lowered her head and let out in a mere whisper "with Armaan"
"What? No,no!!" Khushi waved her hands and turning toward her bed added "I'm not going to help you this time" and resumed unpacking her luggage
"Why? Just this last time" Ridhima pouted, Khushi after looking at her and continued with her job
"I'll promise, one last time" Riddhima said fallowing Khushi from bed tothe closet and vice versa.
"I've heard this sentence hundred times, and I'm not going to fall for this trick again" Khushi said still unpacking.
"But Khushi, you are the only one who can help me... please!! Are you or not my best friend?" Khushi stopped moving and turned towards Riddhima, who with a puppy face requested "please"
"Why I haveto be the cheese between you two? Tell me!" Khushi said dumping the cloths on the chair near the closet "You two fight and I have to make you patch up" she let out pissed off "yaar think before fighting, instead of cryingand repenting later" Khushi said tapping the side of her head while passing a stern smile at Riddhima.
"Who said we fought?"
"You always come to me, when you had a fight with him, so it's simple to figure out "Khushi pointed out moving the cloths from the chair to the closet.
"Well, this time we didn't fought!"
"Then"
"Because he proposed" Riddhima whispered, looking here andthere feeling little embarrassed.
Khushi whirled toward Riddhima with an open mouth and eyes forming perfect "Os" and after blinking for few times she inquired "what, he proposed?" Riddhima just nodded while her cheeks turned into a light shade of pink,
"Wow that's amazing" Khushi said moving to Riddhima "I'm so happy for the both of you" she added hugging Riddhima "how it happened?" she asked pulling apart and holding her friend's hands in hers "When? How he proposed? What you replied? Of course, you said yes...You said yes nah? Oh God, I missed so much" Khushi bombarded Riddhima with her endless questions...
"Khush breath" while putting a hand on Khushi's shoulder,
"I'm so happy for you, finally you two realized that you can't stay away from each other" Khushi cupped Riddhima's face in her hands and both had their eyes moist. Riddhima pulled Khushi in a big bear hug.
Pulling apart from the embrace Khushi asked "why I have to help you, if he proposed"
Riddhima making a said face replied "because no one at home knows about Armaan and I don't know how they will react, especially Bhai"
Khushi made Riddhima sit on the edge of the bed and said "don't worry we will find a solution"
"but how Khush?"
"let me think" Khushi said sitting beside Riddhima
"Got it!" Khushi chirped after a while
"And" Riddhima hinted her to share the idea
"we need someone who suggests to your parents that you and Armaan make a good pair" Riddhima's eyes light up with the news and she kissed Khushi's cheek while thanking her "thank you so so so much, you are really a true friend, but what about Bhai?" Riddhima wondered.
"Your so annoying bhai, isn't he in London?" Khushi enquired getting up
"Yeah! But his word is always the final one" Riddhima answered "and Khush you don't know how bhai is!" Riddhima let out anxious "he's really protective when it comes to me, if he didn't like Armaan he will never let me marry him" she voided her concerns looking up at Khushi
"calm down! One step at a time, first let's convince uncle and aunty" seeing Riddhima's worried face she added "listen didn't you told me that your brother loves you more than anything" Riddhima nodded Khushi pulled her friend up and putting a hand on her cheek assured "Riddhima we will convince him, you know me!" Riddhima nodded "agar ham kuch thaan lete hai to hum usse puraa karke hee chodte hai"
"Yeah I know you are quite ziddi" Riddhima smiled
"abb hamara jalwa dekh" Khushi winked "I'll promise, soon you will be Mrs. Armaan Singhania" and they hugged each other.
Less she now that in helping her best friend she is going to put herself in a lot of troubles some good and some bad, some will make her smile and fly in haven when others will make her cry.
