Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

Part 12

"Hey." He smiled as he walked towards her and greeted her with a hug, which was still kind of awkward for Khushi. When was she ever going to learn how to greet people with a hug?

"Are you following me?" She asked as soon as Arnav broke the hug.

"Seriously? Why would I follow you?" He laughed.

"Maybe because you like me that much."

"Well even if I liked you that much, there was no point of me stalking you, like who knows if we're ever going to meet after this or not?"

"Point. Anyway she's Krystle and that's my friend Suman." Khushi pointed at Suman who had just walked out of the changing room.

"I know you." Suman said.

"Yeah, he was in our school that one day when I bumped into him."

"Yeah." Suman agreed as we all laughed.

"So... What are you doing here?" Khushi asked.

"Nothing, I just came to shop for my cousin, and then I saw you. It's like destiny. I keep bumping into you wherever I go." He smiled.

"It's actually really strange, out of all the people in the world, we end up bumping into each other every now and then." Khushi agreed.

"Umm excuse us, we have some shopping to do." Krystle smiled as she walked away with Suman so they could give Khushi and Arnav some time alone.

"So, how long are you here? Maybe I'll bump into you again." Arnav smiled.

"Just a day, we leave the day after tomorrow."

"How about we make a deal, if I bump into you once again after this, I get to kiss you." Arnav smirked.

"What?" Khushi looked at him in shock with her eyes wide open.

"I'm joking. You should have seen the look on your face, you were horrified." Arnav busted into a fit of laughter and he wouldn't just stop laughing.

"You are such an idiot! Why would you even say anything like that, we aren't even together." Khushi shrugged.

"I was teasing you, calm down. Anyway I need to get going, my friends were waiting for me in another shop, I'll just talk to the owner and see if he has what I was looking for. And yeah, it was nice bumping into you, I hope I'll bump into you tomorrow again, if it's really destiny." He smiled.

"Let see." Khushi nodded.

"So can I at least get a good hug? Not the awkward one?"

"Sure." She smiled as she moved closer and wrapped her arms around him, he grabbed her so tightly, it felt so good. It was the most beautiful feeling in the world, although it was just a hug, it felt really good, maybe because she had never really hugged any guy before this.

"Wow." Arnav said as he broke the hug and looked at Khushi in surprise.

"You haven't also hugged anyone before?" Khushi asked.

"No... I have. This just felt different."

"Well I am different." Khushi smirked.

"Okay if you say so. Anyway I'll get going." Arnav smiled as he waved a goodbye at her and walked towards the shop owner, he talked to him for a moment and then turned around to leave. He stopped at the door and turned to wave at her once again before he left.

Khushi just stood there speechlessly for a moment, she dint even want to move, she dint want to touch anything or do anything, she wanted this feeling to last with her forever, the feeling of the hug, it was beautiful.
