Hate To Love You

Part 22

"So, where's that gorgeous sister of yours?" Arjun smirked as he looked at Arnav curiously.

"Don't tell me you still aren't over the crush you had on her, it's been ages." Arnav laughed at his best friend.

Arjun had always had a crush on Mia since forever, as far as Arnav can remember, Arjun has always talked about one girl and it was always Mia when Mia never noticed him, like she knew he existed and was his best friend but nothing more.

"You know I dated some girls but it never worked because at the back of my mind, I knew it wasn't ever going to work, I knew I was screwed! I can't just get her off my mind and she doesn't even notice me that way." Arjun pouted sadly.

"What do you expect she's Mia Raizada." Arnav laughed.

"Yes she only dates superstars and supermodels, I am nowhere near their sexy bodies and looks." Arjun rolled his eyes.

"I don't remember Mia ever dating anyone, she says she doesn't believe in staying with the same guy for too long, so don't try your luck, even if she notices you I promise she isn't looking for a relationship." Arnav said.

"Okay I don't want to talk about it and feel sad anymore, I just came to ask you what you were doing tonight, if you're free we can hangout, go for dinner or clubbing, something fun." Arjun suggested.

"Sure, I'm free, I'll give you a call at eight and then we can decide?"

"Sounds good, so I'll let you get back to work and your beautiful assistant." Arjun giggled as he stood up and walked out of Arnav's cabin and found Mia standing out there with Khushi, this was like something totally unexpected, they were talking about her inside and here she was, he just hoped she dint hear their conversation.

"Mia!" He looked at her in surprise, she turned her attention from Khushi to him and looked at him in confusion for a moment.

"Don't tell me you don't recognize me, I'm Arjun." Arjun said hoping she hadn't forgotten about him.

"OMG, you are Arnav's best friend, I remember you." She smiled as she walked towards him and greeted him with a hug while Arjun was left in awe, since the last time he saw Mia, she had changed a lot, let's just say she's become gorgeous than she already was.

"Glad to know you still remember me." Arjun said as he broke the hug and looked at her happily.

"Well yeah you were difficult to recognize at first because the Arjun I remember was an eighteen year old teenager with messy hair, who dressed like a homeless drug addict and always had extra perfume because he was too lazy to shower, now you're all grown up, you know how to dress well and you're hot." She smiled.

"Thank you for the compliment." Arjun laughed.

"Oh My God, did I say that out loud?" She looked a bit embarassed.

"It's okay I don't mind." Arjun said.

"Glad to know, it was nice meeting you, anyway I was here to see Arnav but we should hang out if you're here for a while." She smiled at him and headed inside Arnav's cabin while Arjun stood there like a statue, Meera always left him speechless and bewildered.

Khushi walked closer to him and stood opposite him waving a hand in front of his face, he came back from the thoughts and looked at her.

"You know anyone who sees you talking to her would definitely tell how much you like her?" She giggled.

"She's the kind of a woman, I'd like to spend the rest of my life with." Arjun smiled at Khushi, still not being able to believe that Mia had just asked him to hang out with her, than was progress.

"All the best, I'll get the boss's sister some coffee before my boss starts shouting at me." Khushi laughed as she headed towards the kitchen bidding Arjun a goodbye.

The day was almost coming to an end, Khushi was busy finishing up her work so she could head home, she was disturbed by a knock at the door of her cabin, she looked up from her laptop and found the receptionist standing there with a bouquet of flowers.

"Someone left these for you." She smiled at her brightly as she walked inside and place the flowers on her table and then walked away.

Khushi picked up the flowers and found a card along, she was just about to pull it out to read so she could find out who had sent her flowers when Arnav walked into her cabin.

When he walked in he really looked like he was in good moods but his expressions changed suddenly as he saw her with the flowers.

"I remember you telling me you dint have a boyfriend and now he's suddenly sending you flowers, good to know." He said in a really sarcastic tone.

"Excuse me, my personal life is none of your business." Khushi replied.

"And my office isn't a place for you to receive flowers from your boyfriend, next time tell him to deliver those at your place, I came here to tell you, I need all the photographs from the recent photoshoot on my table, I'll be here early tomorrow morning and I better find them at my desk so finish my work first, you can be happy about those stupid flowers later." He rolled his eyes.

"What's your problem?" Khushi asked angrily.

"I hate Liars!" He shrugged and walked out of her cabin angrily.

"What the hell is wrong with him?" Khushi asked herself as she settled down, Arnav was in some bad moods since morning and he was just getting out all his frustration on her.

Khushi took out the tiny card that was placed in between the flowers.

"Sorry for last night – Kabir" As soon as she saw Kabir's name on it, she dumped the flowers in the dustbin, why the hell wouldn't he just leave her alone?

*****

As decided, Arnav and Arjun went clubbing later that night, although it was a terrible idea to go clubbing on the weekend when Arnav knew he had to be at work early the next day, he really needed a few drinks and some music to clear his head.

"Your sister asked me to hang out with her, looks like she's finally noticing me." Arjun shouted so that Arnav could hear, they both were seated at the bar while the music played so loud.

"Good to know." Arnav replied.

"Why are you so moody today, you look angry."

"That Khushi, she's getting into my nerves, I'm just so angry on her and I want to punch that stupid boyfriend of hers." Arnav said.

"As far as I remember you aren't the violent kind of a person, and why would you want to punch her boyfriend? Does she even have one?" Arjun asked.

"Stop asking me questions." Arnav groaned as he looked at the crowd that was busy dancing to the loud music.

Arjun joined him at looking at the people when he saw Kabir, he was there busy dancing with a girl, he was trying to touch her inappropriately all the while, he could notice how the girl was uncomfortable, she kept on moving away from him but he kept on following her.

"Idiot, I feel like punching him!" Arjun said.

"You also feel like punching Khushi's boyfriend? Why?" Arnav asked.

"No I feel like punching that idiot Kabir, I mean what the hell does he think of himself, yesterday he was trying to forcefully kiss Khushi and today he's forcefully trying to touch a girl." Arjun said clenching his hands into a fist.

"What? He tried to kiss Khushi forcefully? She dint want to?" Arnav looked at him in shock, Arjun looked at him realizing he had just told him about last night when he had promised Khushi he won't tell anyone anything regarding it.

"Where is he?" Arnav asked as he stood up and looked at the crowd trying to find Kabir but he had disappeared.

"Relax, he's gone and I shouldn't have told you that, Khushi had told me not to tell anyone, you can't tell her you know, she will be angry if she finds out that I told you." Arjun said.

"If he's gone, I'm going to find him and I'm going to kill him!" Arnav said angrily as headed out looking for Kabir, he was angry, he was literally burning with rage and no matter what Arjun did or said to stop him, he wouldn't just listen.
