Aarav's Pov:

Hell no!

Was the only thought in my mind when I saw Sanjana in our college. I knew she was going to be here but I didn't knew that it will be so soon. I was even more shocked when she came and hugged me. No doubt she was very much happy and excited, it was clearly visible in her eyes. It would have been so rude of me if I would not have hugged her back, so I hugged her but broke it quickly. I was not able to look at Aashna. I have already hurt her so much and now I don't want her to get hurt again.

I have hardly started getting her love and trust again and this time I don't want to mess it up. But still it happened when Sanjana asked me about Aashna and I had to introduce her as my friend instead as my girlfriend. I looked at Aashna and realized that she was shocked, of course she will be shocked because it was the first time that I didn't introduced her as my girlfriend. I'm sorry Aashna I can't do this in front of Sanjana, at least not at this moment.

After their Introduction, Aashna directly went inside the college without saying me bye, forget bye, she didn't even looked at me once. I even tried to call her but as expected she didn't received it and also there was no reply to my texts. After that I dropped Sanjana outside the principal's office, as she was here to meet him. I again called Aashna but still she didn't received the call. Either the girl is angry or is very much attentive in her lecture.

Later I was with Ruan in his home. It was almost evening and I was not interested to go back to my own home. As Sanjana is back, no doubt she will definitely come to meet everyone and as my uncle and aunt are also in my home, I just can't go there and make situation worse for me.

"This are the most delicious cookies, I have ever tasted." Ruan said eating the cookies kept in front of him. Here I'm so tensed and he is busy eating cookies.

"Take." he said and passed me the plate of cookies and I took one. Did he just called this cookies as delicious?

"How can you even call them delicious? They are over baked." I said and he shot me with a glare.

"You are over baked." he said and took the plate back. I'm over baked? I'm a human man, not a cookie.

"Kriya gave you this, right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Only she can make cookies like this." I said and he threw a pillow at me.

"In that case, you will be very happy to know, that your mother in law taught her to make this, Like this!" He said. Mother in law?

"Yes, Aashna's mom taught her." he replied.

"Really? Then she should even teach Aashna, the girl don't know to cook anything." I said and he started laughing.

"Anyway, why are you so tensed?" He asked as if he don't know anything.

"Aashna is not receiving my calls." I replied.

"OH." Was the only reply he gave.

"Stop eating the cookies and tell me what to do." I pleaded.

"See, firstly it's your mistake. You should not have introduced her as your friend, when she is your girlfriend. Aashna was hurt and it was clearly visible in her eyes." He tried to explain me.

"Even I know that, but you know, I can't introduce her as my girlfriend, not in front of Sanjana."

"Then tell everything to Aashna. I know she will understand your situation." he said. I don't understand why everyone think that it is a very small issue? And it is that easy to say everything to her.

"Will you tell Kriya that you are supposed to marry another girl?" I asked and he laughed a little.

"Well, in that case, I don't have a family who fixed my marriage in childhood." he said and laughed again.

"Shut man, they just want me to marry her. It is not fixed." I replied.

"For your kind information, that's called a fixed childhood marriage. And here also it is your mistake, you were always behind her, playing with her, protecting her, going out with her, no wonder any family would think you as a perfect match for her." he taunted.

"I was just friendly with her. It was there mistake that they thought something different of it and now you better stop laughing." I said but it had no effect on him, he was continuously busy laughing at me.

"I'm going from here." I said and was about to move out from his room but he stopped me.

"Okay, I'm sorry, tell me what is actually wrong with you?" he asked.

"Aashna is not receiving my calls, what if she is angry and will never talk with me?"

"You are overthinking. She might be busy. I know she is hurt but she will talk with you." he said assuring me and I nodded.

"And what about Sanjana? What I'm supposed to tell Aashna?" I asked.

"Of course the truth." he replied instantly.

"What I'm supposed to tell her? Sanju.. I mean Sanjana is my childhood friend and..."he interrupted breaking my sentence.

"Childhood best friend, I already said you were always behind her. In fact you used to spend more time with her, then me." He taunted again.

"Ok, childhood best friend and now my family wants me to marry her and that's the only thing my parents asked from me!" I said completing my previous sentence.

"Good, now go and say it to Aashna." he replied.

"Is it that easy man? What if she will misunderstand it? I don't want to mess things with her."

"Are you going to marry Sanjana?" He asked.

"Of course not. I don't love her." I replied.

"Then why are you so worried about telling the same to Aashna? I already said, she will definitely understand your situation." He assured me once again. Maybe he is saying right, I should tell it to her.

Aashna's Pov:

Next day I was in the college waiting for others, today I came little early as I wanted to meet Aarav. Yesterday he called me several times and still I didn't received them. I should have talked with him, but I was hurt and even angry and like last time I don't wanted to say anything to him so I decided not to receive the calls but now I feel guilty about it.

After I received a 'Good morning' text from him in the morning, I messaged him to meet me in the college. While I was waiting in the parking area, I again saw Sanjana. She waved at me and I did the same.

"Sorry I'm little late." Aarav said coming towards me.

"It's okay." I replied.

"And I'm even sorry for yesterday." he added.

"No, I'm sorry for not receiving your calls. It was my mistake, I know I should not have done that." I said.

"No it's my mistake." he said.

"Why are you so stubborn? I said it's my mistake, then it is my mistake, that's it!" I declared and he surrendered.

"Anyway, I want to tell you something." he said and I gestured him to continue but just then Kriya came and he had to stop.

"Did I disturbed the love birds?" She asked innocently.

"No, of course not. You never disturb anyone." Aarav said sarcastically.

"You go and attend your lecture, I will talk with you later." He said and went away, where as I went to my class.

The first lecture ended and it was time for the second but teacher was still not in the class. We all were busy talking, when a news caught my ears and it spread like a fire in the whole college, Aarav is having a fight with someone.

With out wasting a second, I went to Search for him and when I saw him, I was scared. It was my first time to see like this and I was so scared that I was literally shivering. But is he so angry? He was beating the hell out of the person in front of him and there was also blood on the side of his own lips. I damn badly wanted to stop him but I was not able to speak anything, I was not even able to open my mouth. Aashna stop him.

When I gathered all my courage to stop him and was about to do it someone else did it for me, Sanjana.

"Aarav, please stop." She said holding his both the hands but I guess he was not in mood to stop because he pushed her hand really hard that she winced in pain.

"Ouch!" she exclaimed. She might have got hurt. Luckily, Ruan and Abhimanyu came there and stopped everything and I ran towards Aarav.

"Are you okay?" I asked and he looked at me with a shock without answering anything.

"I'm asking you something, are you ok?" I asked again and he nodded.

"I guess he was in the planning of breaking my bones." I heard Sanjana saying it and we both quickly went towards her.

"Are you okay?" Aarav asked sitting beside her.

"Shut up and don't talk to me. I hate you." She said holding her own hand.

"I'm sorry, let me see it." He said and took her hand but she snatched it back.

"Look at your face first, it's bleeding." She said and handed him a tissue paper from her hand bag.

"Who told you to fight with him?" She asked looking straight into his eyes.

"Not my mistake, He should not have passed that comment on you." He replied. What comment? Did Aarav beat that boy because of some comment he passed on Sanjana?

"I would have handled it Aarav, you should not have beaten him." She said.

"Really? You would have handled it, how?" He asked her and she was speechless.

"I don't know but I would have handled it." She replied.

"As far as I know you, I know you would have done nothing, infact you would not even say it uncle. Moreover, he or no other boy would ever dare you misbehave with you if they know who you are." He said angrily.

"Even you have a very good relation with him, have you ever taken the privilege of principal being your uncle, no right? Then why would I do take benefit of him being my Dad?" she asked and this time he was speechless. Our principal is his uncle? Why Aarav never said it to me? I remember Aananya calling principal as uncle on the day of match, now I know why she called him that.

"Stop it both of you and let me meet my friend." Divya said and hugged Sanjana and then both started talking. Aarav looked at me and was about to come near me but was stopped by Sanjana.

"Wait, where are you going? We are going to hospital." she said.

"I will go. Don't worry." he said.

"Yes, I will take him "Ruan added.

"Okay." she replied and went with Divya and Aarav came towards me. There were lots of questions, I wanted to ask him but it was better for me to take him to the doctor first.
