Part 7

Arnav with a smile, walk forward to reach her. Khushi who got tensed stood there like a statue. She don't know why she is feeling like that. She noticed that her heart beating strangely. She feared that may be others will hear her heart beat. Arnav who is in different state, smiling like mad and walking to her. Aman, who observed Arnav, stopped him by holding his hand. When Arnav felt somebody holding his hand, he looked at the person with angry expression to know who dared to stop him. Aman by shaking his head negatively, showed the entire class. With that Arnav came to his senses. He is very much well known that what happened to him. He smiled inwardly knowing his angel's effect on him. Aman observing Arnav with smile and turned to Anjali. By seeing her brother's behaviour Anjali got confused. But she thought she will ask him later about what's wrong and what's going on her brother's dangerous mind. Thinking this she turned to Khushi and says.

Anjali: "No Khushi Ji. We are not from music department. I'm from interior designing."

Aman: "Choti... how are you? And I'm from management department. I'm doing my PhD, and Anjali doing her PG. And this is Arnav. Anjali, Akash and NK's brother. He is doing his PG in fashion designing. Akash is doing his bachelor in financial management. And you knows about Lavanya and NK."

With this information Khushi gave a heart whelming smile to all the seniors as wishing them. She turned to Payal and introduces her to all. While talking to all she steels glances from Arnav, who is smiling at her. Seeing her smiling all the time, Arnav including Aman, Anjali and Akash felt very nice at their hearts. By seeing Arnav smiling Khushi felt something in her stomach. She felt like she is developing some kind of feelings on him. With that thought, her pearl coloured cheeks turned into red colour.

Every second, Arnav's eyes are on Khushi only. He felt mesmerized by her beauty. He is feeling something in his heart about this girl. He wants to go to her. Hug her. He wants to take her in his arms. He wants to hold her in his arms securely. He needs her in his life. Aman who is watching the reactions of the great mighty ASR, come to him and asked

Aman: "At least now, is there anything I should know, Arnav?"

Arnav by hearing Aman's words, he turned to class, but keeping his eyes on only one person, said

Arnav: "Ok everybody. Today is Thursday, and day after tomorrow I mean on Saturday the fresher party will held. So I... I mean we all request you to come to the party. And I personally invite YOU to come early to college, and go late to home to check and enjoy the preparation of the party." He stressed the word YOU by seeing Khushi. But Khushi being Khushi she didn't understand or notice the invitation she got from the great ASR. She is very much excited about the party. She is jumping like a child by hearing about the party. It is not that, she don't know about party before. But, she is very happy by hearing the party will held in two days. She is waiting for that. By observing her excitement, Arnav and Aman understood she didn't get what Arnav told. They easily understood that she didn't notice the invitation is for her. By smiling Arnav asked every senior to leave. But Aman and Anjali wants to talk with Khushi. So, they stayed in the class room, when Arnav left the class room along with Akash and other students.

Anjali: "Khushi Ji, you said Aman can call you as Choti. So, can I also call you the same?"

Khushi: "Of course Anjali Ji. You can call me Choti as Bhai. I don't have any problem with that."

Anjali: "thank you for that. And you can call me DI as my brothers and Lavanya calls me."

Khushi: "Ji"

Aman: "Choti, we want to talk with you about something. Can you come with us to the canteen? If you have any problem with that it is ok."

Khushi: "No Bhai. I don't have any problem with that. You both go, I will come in a minute."

By nodding their heads Aman and Anjali left the room for canteen. By turning to confused Payal, Khushi says;

Khushi: "What's wrong Payal? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Payal: "Khushi, is that senior your brother?"

Khushi: "No, Payal. He is not"

Payal: "Then why are you calling him Bhai?"

Khushi: "Because, he lost his sister a long time back and by seeing me he remembers her it seems. That's why he wants to call me as his sister Choti. He asked me is there any problem with that. Why it will be a problem? So, i said ok to him to call me Choti. That's all"

Payal: "Oh... that's it. I thought he is your brother. But he is nice. And Anjali Ji also... she is very friendly. We are lucky to have seniors like them. Not like that Rahul."

Khushi: "Oho Payal... why are you thinking about him? Just leave that. Ok. I'll come in a moment. I'm going to canteen to talk with Bhai and Di. See you soon. Take care"

Saying this, she left for canteen. When she is walking to canteen, suddenly somebody came from the back and collided with her. She is about to fall that person held her hand. She opened her eyes to say thanks. But seeing that person, she tried to escape from his hands. She is feeling scared. But his grip is very tight. Very strong for her.

Khushi: "Rahul Ji, what are you doing? Leave me, I said leave me"

Rahul: "NO. I won't leave you. What you did to me in class before my classmates, it is not forgivable. How dare you to back answer Me.? How dare you to shout at me?"

Khushi: "Leave me. I said leave me. Otherwise I'll shout again. If some lecturers see you, they will punish you. Leave me..."

Rahul: "Don't dare to do that. If you do that, I'll make sure that you will get punishment for that. Just shut your mouth and do what i say."

Khushi: "What do you think, if you scare me like that, I will do what you say? No way. Leave me."

With that Rahul got irritated more, closes her mouth and then drags Khushi to the back side of the building. Khushi tried to relieve herself from his grip but he is very strong for her. She felt helpless. She wants to shout and call anybody but cant. When Rahul about to enter in dark room with Khushi, he felt somebody's hand, he turned and got scared to see angry Aman and Anjali there. When Aman and Anjali are waiting for Khushi in canteen, Payal came there for Khushi. Not seeing Khushi there she asked Aman about Khushi.

Payal: "Aman Bhai where is Khushi? She forgot her mobile in the class room. I want to give her."

Aman: "Payal, Khushi not yet come here. We are waiting for her only."

"What? Didn't she come here? She left class 15mins before to meet you guys! Where will she go?" says panicked Payal.

Anjali: "Payal, don't worry. May be she went to wash room or she is talking with somebody there. We will wait here for some time and will see." Saying this Anjali turned her left to see Rahul dragging Khushi to somewhere. "Aman, See... it is Khushi...!! Somebody is dragging her somewhere." By seeing that side Aman recognized Khushi and that person who is dragging her...

"Rahul" said Aman angrily and went to follow Rahul. Anjali and Payal followed Aman. At the same time Anjali got a call from Akash asking her where are they? Anjali explained him what's happening there. They saw Rahul is almost dragging Khushi into dark room. Aman immediately ran to them and stopped Rahul by his shoulder. Akash came there along with Arnav, NK, who don't have any idea about what's happening, got shock to see Khushi in Rahul's grip.

By seeing Aman there, Rahul took few steps backward with Khushi. Khushi tried to free herself from Rahul's grip again. In that process she bites his hand with her full strength. Rahul felt a sharp pain on his strong hand. He got angry on Khushi for what she did to him. Immediately he slapped her hardly. But he felt the pain...In next second Rahul felt his cheek was burning with sharp pain. And he felt few drops of blood falling from the corner of his mouth. Aman and Arnav saw the slap, which made them lose their control. Aman is bit late to react. Before he starts from where he is standing, he was surprised to see Arnav reaching there and hit Rahul hardly. With that slap Rahul felt his head is spinning. In this tension, he left Khushi's hand. While Akash and Aman took the hold of Rahul, Arnav immediately drags Khushi into his arms and with so much concern in his voice and eyes

Arnav: "Khushi... are you ok?"

But, without answering him, Khushi fell into his arms unconscious. seeing unconscious Khushi in Arnav's arms; Anjali is the first one to run towards Arnav. She pattered Khushi's cheeks to wake her up. Arnav also tried to wake her up. But they failed.

Anjali: "Chote... first we have to take her from here. Akash come help Chote to take..." but not giving chance to Anjali to complete the sentence and without waiting for Akash, Arnav lifts Khushi in his arms and walked to class room, leaving everybody shocked for few seconds and follow him. He tried so much to wake her... but he couldn't. He felt slight pain in his heart by seeing Khushi unconscious. He doesn't like her in that lifeless state. He wants to see her happy, naughty like all the time. After entering the class room, Anjali and Payal took her from his arms and tried to wake her up. He doesn't know why, but he wants to take her into his embrace and make her comfortable. Then suddenly he remembered the person who is responsible for her condition. He turned and went to Rahul who is in Akash's hold. He drags Rahul aside and started to beat him again. Rahul went almost unconscious with this continuous beating from Arnav. Aman noticed it and stopped Arnav for further damage.

In between NK went to bring some water. Anjali sprinkled some water and pattered Khushi's cheeks slightly. With that water effect Khushi gain her conscious and opened her eyes. Seeing her eyes open Arnav rushed to her and asked

Arnav: "Khushi, Are you ok?"

Everybody surprised by Arnav's behaviour. They never see him this much concern about anybody other than his family members and Aman. Seeing his concern Khushi broke down in Anjali's arms. Anjali consoled Khushi by caressing her cheeks. When Anjali touched her cheek Khushi hissed in pain. Due to Rahul's slap, her cheek swelled. And corner of her lip got tore with the intensity of slap. Everyone gasped by seeing Khushi's pain. Anjali and Payal looked at Khushi with tears in their eyes. By seeing Khushi like this, Aman got angry and went to Rahul. Catching his collar, he dragged him and took Khushi to the dean room. Everybody, particularly Arnav shocked to see this side of Aman. Aman is a balanced man every time. He never loses his temper. But now, seeing Khushi in pain he is unable to control himself. From the first time he saw Khushi, he remembered his sister. He doesn't know whether Khushi is his lost sister or not. But he feels like she is his little sister. He feels like she is his responsibility. He wants to take care of her. He is feeling like he failed in protecting her. So, he wants to clear this thing now. Entering Dean's room, he throws Rahul in front of Dean. The dean was surprised to see this.
