ARNAV'S ROOM

Khushi – So now that I have done my best we can get married next month right

Arnav – No ways

Khushi – What??? (She makes a angry face and throws a pillow on him)

Arnav – What was that Khushi...I still my finals to play....

Khushi – You and your tennis.....look Arnav I have supported you for this all along now I cant wait...why cant you just marry...

Arnav – Its my wish...my life....and I have all the rights to take decisions.....if you keep pestering me like this I will tell we are no more a couple in the press conference tonight.

Khushi – Do whatever you want (She was badly hurt for his choice of words and just storms out of his room)

Arnav – Khushi listen.....(To Himself)shit....may be I spoke too much on this.....let it be...she is not worried of exams and finishing the graduation always she keeps discussing marriage .....already she has missed so many classed for the tournament....if I agree to her and bring her home she will just waste time with maa...will convince her during dinner....

KHUSHI'S ROOM

She is crying and speaking to herself laying on the bed

Khushi – What does he think of himself...always he does something like this and I end up listening to him without putting my thoughts ahead....I want to marry why cant he understand.....(Her phone starts ringing and she picks it managing herself to sit and wiping tears) Hello

Shyam – What do you think....everything is over?

Khushi – You??? Are you not tired of all this??? Why cant you understand....if Arnav gets to know he will not spare you...

Shyam – That's when he would trust you.....be prepared...you will have face the worst of him this time and not me....

Khushi – What do you mean....if you are again playing some cheap trick...I am warning you to stop it right there because last time he left you only because I asked him to.

Shyam – I know...that's the biggest mistake you did......had I been punished may be I would not have dared to do this.....actually I never wanted this to go ugly but you have made me to come to such a low level to get you.......

Khushi – Don't try scaring me Shyam...I am not going to fall for all this now.....Arnav is not a kid anymore to just blindly do what you manipulate him to do.

Shyam – We shall see...I just wanted to give a heads up to you as I still love you...its upto you how you take it.,..bye...(Disconnects the call)

Khushi – Ridiculous.....first that Arnav spoke something stupid and now this Shyam....ufff...should I tell Arnav about this call???......no...he will get worried.....(he phone rings again and she frowns seeing the name but picks up) What is it....was there anything you forgot to tell?

Arnav – Oh oh......come on you know how I talk when you make me angry....

Khushi – Ya....only I should know about all your tantrums and you never should care about my feelings right

Arnav – Don't start again Khushi.....you know I never meant it.....forget all this cat fight tell whom were you talking I tried 2 times to call you....it was busy....

Khushi – I mean....wo.....no one Arnav it was promotional call

Arnav – Khushi we are not in India and here they wouldn't call us for promotions as they wouldn't have our data.
