Part 9:

Khushi felt some one's hand on her shoulder. When she saw the person, she doesn't know why, but her eyes filled with water. Seeing her tears, Arnav immediately sat beside her and held her hand, he shook his head asking her not to cry

Khushi holding his hand and asked: "Did I say anything wrong about my parents? Do you think I'm not their daughter? Am I bad girl? Then why Anjali Ji asked like that?" she don't know why she asked him like that. She doesn't know why she wants to know about his thinking about her. But she asked. The situation happened in the morning with Rahul, already made her weak. She became weak due to non stop crying. Actually there is no need to react like that. But she is not in a condition to think straight. She badly missing her parents. This is the first time; she is staying far from her family. She is already feeling lonely, now Anjali's words added more fuel to her home sickness. By hearing her words, everybody felt bad. By holding her hand and hugging her side ways, Arnav said,

Arnav: "Shhh... Khushi... don't cry. Nothing is like that. You are a good girl. We all know about that. Don't think low about yourself."

Seeing into his eyes Khushi asked: "then why Anjali Ji asked me like that?"

Arnav: "hmmm may be to bring you back from the morning incident... may be to tease you. She is your senior, right? So, maybe she is ragging you. What Di? What will you say?"

Cursing herself and thanking her brother in her mind, Anjali went to Khushi and said: "exactly... I'm just teasing her."

Looking at both brother and sister, Khushi asked Arnav innocently, "Really? Are you saying the truth that I'm not a bad girl?" Seeing her innocent face, Arnav felt like to hug her. Take out all her tensions, all her sadness. By nodding his head he said

Arnav: "Yes, Khushi... indeed you are a good girl. That's why Aman called you as his sister, Right? Otherwise normally Aman won't mention any girl like that. So don't think that you are a bad girl. I trust you." Saying this he tightened his grip on her hand. He don't know why he said that he trust her. By seeing everybody smile at her and hearing his words, Khushi felt something in her heart. She felt like she is at home. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. Immediately she hugged Arnav and said: "Thank you, thank you for being with me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for understanding me. I'm feeling like I'm at home. I'm really lucky to have you all as my friends. Thanks a lot."

Seeing her hugging Arnav, including Arnav everybody got shocked. Noticing the silence around her, Khushi broke the hug and turn back. Seeing the faces of everyone, Khushi got what she did. She felt embarrassed. Moving aside she told to Arnav "I'm sorry Arnav Ji, I... I... I'm really sorry. I'm just very happy thinking that you all here for me. Just i want to say thanks. That's all. Please don't think otherwise. I... I'm really sorry" Seeing her state, Arnav said "It's ok Khushi, no need to worry... we understand... so, just chill..."

"Come on Khushi Ji, nothing to worry about it... it is just natural..." said NK for getting angry glares from Aman, Anjali and Arnav.

Anjali went to Khushi, holding her hand and said: "Khushi Ji, I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to bring you from the morning incident. I don't want you to feel sad about that. That's why I tried. But, sorry I took wrong way. I shouldn't have asked you that question. I didn't mean what I said. I shouldn't have talked like that... I'm really sorry... It won't repeat... please mujhe maaf kardo." Anjali had tears in her eyes. By seeing Anjali, Khushi felt bad. Immediately, she hugged Anjali

Khushi: "Firstly it is not Khushi. It is Choti. Did you forget, that you asked me permission to call me as Choti?" Anjali nodded her head in a 'no'. "Then, why are you calling me as Khushi? Please Di, i understand your motive, don't think bad of yourself. I know you never want to hurt me. Yes, I'm sad, but I'm happy also. I'm sad about morning incident. But I'm happy because; i have u all as my friends. I really happy about that..."

Anjali: "But still Khus... oh I'm sorry. Choti... I shouldn't do that. I shouldn't say that. I'm feeling guilty. I'm really sorry."

Khushi: "Then. I will do one thing. I'll call that Rahul and ask him to do everything. And Aman Bhai and Arnav Ji will beat him again. Then we will again go to dean sir room. Ok. Then I will become sad again. Then you do whatever you want. Is it ok with you, Di? If I say this to that Rahul, he will do immediately."

Everybody looks at Khushi with shocking faces. Seeing their faces, "What? Why are you looking at me like that? I don't want to repeat all those. I'm saying just to relax her. Don't see me like I did a mistake. But yeah, I'm sure about what I said, that that Rahul...."

"Chup bilkul chup... you are saying all the rubbish. Crazy girl" said Payal.

Khushi: "Of course I'm. You know Payal, I'm very strong girl. I will accept and agree the truth with dare."

Payal: "And may I know what that truth that you are accepting with dare is?"

Khushi: "That's only, I'm a crazy girl."

With that every one burst out their laughing. Hearing the laughs Khushi felt relieved. Seeing Arnav, Khushi's heart swelled in happiness. She lost in his laugh. She stared him for long. Aman's words brought her back.

Aman: "Yes, you are really crazy girl Choti. But I'm glad that we met this crazy girl. Otherwise we definitely miss you. What did you say guys?"

Nodding her head including all, Anjali said: "Yes, you are correct Aman. We agree with you." And turning to all, "Ok every one, it's late already. We have to leave. Tomorrow is big day. Only one day is there to welcome new students. We have to do lots of things." Looking to Aman, Arnav and showed them Khushi "Choti, I want you to come with me for some shopping. I don't want to listen any excuses. Chote you come with us." Saying this she holds Khushi's hand to hear her scream in pain. Everybody got alerted with her scream. Anjali immediately left her hand to see what's bothering her. Anjali got shocked to see Khushi's wrist which is completely turned into black colour and swelled like nothing. Khushi started crying due to unbearable pain. Akash ran to the canteen fridge and brings ice. He immediately put that ice in his handkerchief and held it on Khushi's hand. Payal supported her by holding Khushi in her embrace. Khushi kept her head on the shoulders of Payal and rested for some time and tried to control her pain. After sometime with the effect of ice, the pain comes to normal. After that, Khushi composed herself and turned to everybody and said:

Khushi: "Once again I'm sorry for bothering u all. Sorry for spoiling your mood. I'm really sorry"

Arnav: "Shut up Khushi. You are not bothering us. Do you understand that? Don't dare you say that again."

Aman: "Ha Choti... Arnav is right. Don't think like that. We all are friends, right? Then why are you thinking that you are bothering us? It is not like that." Turned to Arnav and says: "Arnav if you don't mind, can u please take Khushi to hospital? I have to go to meet my HOD now."

Anjali: "don't worry Aman. I'll take Khushi to hospital along with Chote. And will leave her at her hostel. Come on Choti."

Khushi: "No, it is ok. I'm fine now. I will go to doctor tomorrow for sure. Di you don't need to take any strain for me. I can manage."

Without hearing what she is saying, Arnav carefully took her right hand and dragged her to the car. By giggling Anjali followed her brother. Opening back seat of his car for her and almost pushed her inside the car. After closing the door, he said to Khushi "just close your mouth and sit quietly. I don't want to hear any word from you. Got that?" Khushi nodded her head as she got. "Good" saying this he went to driver seat and turned to his sister and smirked to her. Anjali, who is watching all these and saw her brother smirking at her, she nodded her head saying "Unbelievable". After settling in their seats with seat belts, he started his car to the hospital.

After reaching hospital, they took Khushi to the doctor. He examined her and prescribed some painkillers, ointment and an injection. Anjali and Khushi waited outside till Arnav brings the medicines and gave to nurse. Seeing syringe in nurse's hand, Khushi got panicked and tried to escape. She ran from there by screaming a big NO. Anjali and Arnav got surprised by her behaviour. But Arnav came back with her scream and he also ran behind her. She is little bit slower than Arnav. He caught her in his hold, but still she tried to escape.

Arnav: "Stop it Khushi. it is just an injection. They are not going to kill you. Just stop this and come there, take the injection"

Khushi: "NOOOOOO... Idon't want any injection. I'm fine. Please Arnav Ji. See I don't have any painin my wrist. I'm perfectly alright" For proving Arnav that she is fine; shepressed her wrist and hissed in pain. Seeing her like that Arnav felt bad forfew seconds. But he being ASR, he lifts her from her waist, and brought her tonurse. With the fear of injection Khushi started moving her legs and started tobeat Arnav's hands which are on her waist. But her tiny hands couldn't createany pain or effect on his manly strong hands. She noticed that her beatings arenot at all creating any effect on him. So, she stopped struggling in his handand leaned back on his shoulder and turned her face to plead him to leave her.At the same time, Arnav also turned his face to ask her to stop her blabbering.Unexpectedly when they turn their faces, their lips got brushed slightly witheach other
