Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

Part 29

"How about we go on a date, go out somewhere for lunch or dinner, sit down and talk about this?" Krystle asked.

"You want to really do this don't you?" Arjun smiled.

"Well now that everything is out in the open, I have always had a crush on you and knowing that you might have one on me too, I can only hope." She blushed a little.

"Okay, If you say so. Date it is." Arjun nodded.

"Really? Thank you, thank you so much." Krystle jumped up and down happily, she couldn't believe that she was finally going to go on a date with him, she had dreamt of this moment since forever and today the dream was coming true.

"Yeah, I'll find a place then call you?"

"I can't wait already." She smiled.

At night Khushi lied down on her bed after she had dinner with her brothers as usual, she grabbed her phone and texted Arnav.

"Hey... I miss you already." She typed and pressed send.

"I miss you too." Arnav said as he jumped in front of Khushi who ran out of her bed screaming until she realized it was Arnav.

"What are you doing here?" She whisper shouted at him.

"Khushi, is everything okay?" She heard Rudra's voice, she looked at Arnav worriedly, this guy was going to get beaten up so badly if any of her brothers saw her.

"Hide wherever you were hiding. Now!" Khushi said, Arnav nodded as he rushed to hide immediately and just then the door to her room opened up as the three of her brothers rushed in worriedly.

"What happened Khushi?" Arjun asked.

"Nothing, I just saw a cockroach." Khushi lied.

"What? How is that possible? Looks like the house isn't being cleaned properly, some people need to get fired then." Prem said.

"No, everything is clean, it must have come from outside, I left my window open the whole day, it's okay, it's gone now." Khushi said.

"I know you're scared of cockroaches, you can go sleep in my room, I'll sleep here." Rudra suggested.

"No, I am fine here." Khushi said immediately, if she left that would mean Arnav would be left trapped here the entire night. Why wouldn't he have told her that he was going to sneak in again, at least she could be prepared and she wouldn't have screamed like this.

"Really?" Prem looked at her suspiciously.

"Yeah, I am not that scared of them, I mean it's not like it will come on my bed right." She giggled.

"Since I remember you have been afraid of all the insects, no matter how small." Prem said.

"Jeez Prem, calm down, it's just a cockroach, I used to be scared before, I still am just not that much. Besides you know I can't sleep well anywhere else apart from my room so I will be fine here, stop worrying." Khushi said.

"Okay, if you say you're okay then we'll leave. But if you get scared come wake us up okay?" Arjun said.

"Of course, I will." Khushi smiled.

"Okay, goodnight, sleep well." Rudra kissed her on the forehead as he walked out followed by Arjun and Prem, Khushi locked the door as soon as they had left and Arnav came out of his place Khushi immediately gestured to him to be quiet for a while so incase her brothers were waiting outside to find out something, they wouldn't hear anything and would leave eventually.
