Part 19:

Even though it was a very tired day for all, Khushi still is in party mood. She is very happy today. She didn't expect this day turns like this beautiful. After reaching their hostel, Khushi freshened up herself and lied on her bed thinking about today's events. She couldn't believe that she is Ms. Fresher. She still is very excited as much as she is in the morning. She remembered her full day happenings. She remembered their dance. She remembered how Arnav looked handsome in his Red and Black outfit. She remembered their dance, their closeness. When she remembers his hands on her waist, her pink cheeks turned into a deep shade of red. She is blushing hard. She took her 'mobile' and typed

...Ana Behibak...

****************

He couldn't stop his thoughts about her, his angel. Cute smile adores his lips from the evening, when he came back to his house from the college. His mind is completely in his angel's thoughts. He couldn't divert his mind and heart from her. When he remembers their dance he felt goose bumps all over his body. When he remembers his hands on her slim waist, he felt a shiver ran through his spine. He is smiling lightly. In fact, he is blushing slightly. He closed his eyes, to recollect the moment he saw her in his favourite colour. She looked breathtaking, amazing. His trance gets disturbed with a beep sound of his mobile. He groaned with irritation and took his mobile to see the message. When he unlocked the mobile, he saw a message from an unknown number. Instantly he recognized the numbers. He opened the message only to see a weird message again.

...Ana Behibak...

"What the hell...!! Not again. Why is this girl behind me? Oh god I couldn't understand this message also" he closed the message and lied on his bed. Suddenly he remembered Aman's words, when he told him about strange caller yesterday. So immediately he opened his laptop and Googled about the meaning of that weird message. But, he didn't find anything different from previous messages... it is an "I Love You" from Arabic. He sighed deeply, not knowing what to do with this crazy girl. He took his mobile and dialled the number, which got answered or may be lifted before the ringing starts, after connected. He really surprised about this particular strange caller. 'Is she waiting for my call? Is she that much interested in me?' he thought.

He waited for some time to hear the voice from outside. But he didn't get any response. He sighed and asked

"Did you send me the message?"

"tsk" he heard a sound from other side.

"What? Don't you want to talk with me still?"

"tsk tsk" he heard same sound two times.

"So, one tsk means yes and two tsks means No... Am I right?"

"tsk"

"Ok... I got it... but don't you feel it is really weird... to have one sided conversation?"

"tsk"

"Oh you agree with me... great... then why don't you talk with me? Anyway you already said that you loved me"

"tsk tsk" he heard the sound, but he felt her sounded different this time. May be it is angry.

"What did I say? Why are you getting angry? I just said that you loved me"

"tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk"

He really confused by hearing the sound too many times. He recollected his words, which made this crazy girl angry. When he recollected his words, he got the answer for his doubt. So immediately, he said

"Ok... Ok... sorry... I didn't mean it. You didn't love me. But you still love me sorry for that... Ok..."

"tsk"

"Fine... at least tell me your name... how can I call you? Without mentioning your name, it is very difficult to talk. Please... you know I never plead anyone for anything. First time I'm pleading you to know your name. Just think the great ASR; Arnav Singh Raizada is pleading you, so you can't deny me. Just tell me your name"

Khushi, who is listening his words, disconnected the call due to her uncontrollable laughter. But immediately she sent the message

Arnav got irritated with this crazy girl. He didn't know how to handle this. She will give messages, but when he calls her she won't talk. He don't even know her name. He thinks for some time and he found the solution to handle this mess. "This is the best way to stop this crazy girl.' he said to himself, exactly when his mobile beeped with message saying

"Sneha, My name is Sneha."

"Hmmm nice name... Sneha..." he thought. And typed the same

"Nice name... and my name is Arnav... not any Lad Governor"

"Hahahaha... I know I know... but for me you are my sweet, handsome, dashing, smart and lovely Lad Governor... I love you"

"Oh... these many... wow I don't know, I can be these many types. Thanks for that... but no thanks for Lad Governor. Don't you really feel weird to call me Lad Governor?"

"Why do I feel weird to mention you LG...? Nope. I don't feel. Because, you are mine"

Arnav felt something in his heart. May be it is pity on this crazy girl. Because, after he tells what he wants to tell her, it definitely will break her heart. But he has to tell her. It is must. Otherwise what if she develops more feelings about him? When hearing her words it is looking like she already developed too much feeling for him. But not anymore. So he typed

"NO... I'm not... Sorry"

"What are you not?"

"I'm not yours. I'm someone else's"

"NO you can't be... you are mine that is all"

"Sorry to say... but it is true... I'm already in love with my angel. I can't lose her anyway. Sorry"

Shock, sadness, angry, fear and every feeling ran into Khushi's mind and heart. She felt rejected, lost. She couldn't take this. Actually she is not ready for this. So she messaged again

"You are joking, right? Please tell me the truth..."

Arnav really felt bad and irritated at the same time

"Look Sneha... I don't know what made you love me. But I'm not meant for you. I'm deeply in love with my Angel. So better you should drop from your feelings" messaged Arnav

"Oh shut up you devil. How can you say that I should drop? Who gave you right on me? It is my heart my feelings... you don't have any right to ask me to stop my feelings. I'm serious about you. I love you and I will... you made me cry today... I hate you... but still I couldn't stop loving you..."

Seeing this message Arnav really felt bad for this girl. He doesn't know what to do. He is really feeling low by reading this message. He don't know, not loving someone will be painful. He doesn't want to hurt this girl. But he can't do anything. He sighed deeply and went to bed to sleep. But don't know why, sleep is very far from him. He is feeling something in his heart, like someone close to his heart is hurt. He is feeling restless. He doesn't know why the words from Sneha, 'you made me cry today... I hate you...' are bothering him.

After that message of outburst from Sneha, he didn't get any call or message from her. His restlessness is growing more. He wants to make sure that she is fine. He is really confused, irritated and frustrated by his behaviour and feelings. 'May be because of me she is sad today that is why I'm feeling like this. Nothing is more. She is not close to my heart. No. I will call her and make sure she is fine or not.' He thought and took his mobile to call her. At the same time, he received message from her.

"...Bi chamd khairtai..." I couldn't stop myself from loving you. I'm sorry if I hurt you. Please don't be angry on me. I can't take it.

After reading this message with crying emoticon, he couldn't stop himself from calling her. He immediately dialled her number.

***********************

After his confession Khushi felt like her world come to an end. She couldn't control herself from crying. She is not ready to lose him. She thought he likes her, from his behaviour and care. She remembered his care at the time that Rahul's incident happened, in hospital, in college. She also remembered their couple dance in the party today evening. She remembered his touch she remembered his smell, she remembered how his closeness affected her. She is not ready to accept that all these feelings and his behaviour are lies. All these are not true. She is crying like mad. She never cried like this. She never knows loving someone this much painful... she cried for some more time while thinking. She remembered his words – 'I'm deeply in love with my Angel. I can't lose her. I'm not meant for you' – which pierced her heart. But she is Khushi. She always thinks positive. She always looks at positive side. 'What if he doesn't love me? There is no rule for loving back the person who loves you. It is not compulsory for him to love me back. But that doesn't mean I should stop loving him. No, I never do that. I'll love him until my last breath. If he doesn't love me back, it is fine with me. If he is happy with his love, that is enough for me. He deserves happiness. All I want is his happiness.' thought Khushi. With that thought she wiped her tears and took her mobile messaged him saying....

"...Bi chamd khairtai..." I couldn't stop myself from loving you. I'm sorry if I hurt you. Please don't be angry on me. I can't take it.

She thanked Devi Mayya for letting Lavanya go to her brother's house after party. She is alone. Luckily nobody is there to see her broken condition. After messaging him she lied on her bed crying. She got up and wiped her tears to know who is calling her this time. By looking at her ringing mobile, she found 'Arnav' name. After seeing that name, again she felt a wave of emotion. But she lifted the phone controlling her sobs.

On the other hand, when Arnav heard her controlled sobs, he felt a tug in his heart. He couldn't understand why he is feeling this bad by hearing her sobs. He brushed his thoughts and says

"Are you crying?"

"tsk tsk"

"Don't lie to me. Don't you dare... Nobody allowed to lie to ASR."

"........"

"So, you are lying. Don't please. Stop crying... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. I don't want you to be sad either I can't give you what you want. Please try to understand. Please stop crying Sneha. Please."

He heard a "tsk" along with controlled sobs.

"Don't you talk with me at least now?"

"tsk tsk"

"What you studying? Which college?" he tried to change her mind.

He surprised to see the message which he received saying "your college"

"Are you studying in my college?"

"tsk"

"Which department"

"tsk tsk"

"Oh come on... talk now at least"

The line disconnected. He sighed deeply and waited for the message to arrive. He knows that he will get message as an answer in few seconds. As he guessed, he received a message saying, "I don't want to tell my department. Because, I know if I say you definitely will try to find me and talk with me. I don't want that. Sorry"

"God, this girl definitely will turn me crazy." He said loudly. He received another message from her.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure" said Arnav

"Will you be my friend at least? You don't need to worry; I never come to your path and disturb you. Just like online friends... Pleeeeeaaassse" she sent message with puppy dog face emoticon.

A small smile appears on his face looking at this message. But either he can do that or deny that. So he typed "give me some time. I will tell you. Maybe, tomorrow. Please"

"Ok... hope you won't reject my friendship at least. That is the last thing I want to happen. Ok bye good night take care... Tata" she pressed the send button and went to sleep, not knowing, what changes, her decision – not telling him about her identity – will bring. Thinking about her beautiful day how suddenly it changed into worst day, she drifted into deep sleep.
