Part 7 

Arnav was distraught. The girl who is ruining his sleep is none other than Khushi. And she is in love with a guy named Arjun.

For the first time in his life, he liked a girl and it was not in his hands...it happened just like that... beyond his control.

But what is his role in their LOVE story? Why he is getting their flashes? Why the hell he is getting affected by someone's love?

The thought that he won't get Khushi made him upset. Don't know why he feels so upset about a girl who he knew for just two days. He couldn't understand this wired feeling of him.

Aman and NK came to the temple with disappointment as they didn't find the young man anywhere. But Aman instantly understood, seeing Arnav's face that something would have happened.

"ASR, what happened? Are you alright? Why do you look disturbed?" Aman asked him many questions.

"Nothing. I'm fine"

Aman looked at him unbelievably because he knew Arnav is lying. Arnav gestured him to be quiet. Aman understood that Arnav doesn't want to talk in front of NK. But their bad luck, NK noticed his gesture and he was not disappointed but curious to know what Arnav is hiding from him. Because he likes such mysterious stories. From the time, Shushant told him about Arnav's dream, he wants to know everything related to it.

"Shall we go?" NK asked casually.

Aman looked at Arnav and he nodded yes. They started towards their room.

When they came back, Shyam was not in the room. Taking their leave, NK left the place. No... he pretended like leaving. He went backside of the house and stood near the window from where he could hear them clearly.

"What happened ASR? Tell me now..."

"Is NK gone?"

"Yeah..."

NK sharpened his ears.

"I got the dream again"

"Did you sleep in the temple?" he asked frowning.

"No... yet, I saw the dream....that too not a blurred one but very clearly"

"Means... Did you see the girl?"

"Yes..."

"Have you seen her before?"

Arnav nodded yes.

"Who is she?"

"Khushi" Arnav's throat choked.

Not only Aman but also NK was shocked hearing that and he sensed Arnav's anxiety. But why?

"What? Khushi?" Aman asked with the same shock.

Arnav looked at him. Though he didn't cry his eyes were red.

"What that mean?"

"Arjun is her boyfriend. They are in love. I saw her happy with that damn Arjun" he punched his fist on the pillar.

"But NK said there is no Arjun in this village"

"Maybe, he is from another village. Anyways, I just want to find him"

"But why? What will you do? Will going to help them?"

"Help my foot... I will break his damn face if I see him"

Arnav looked not less than a beast when he uttered it. Aman was taken back seeing his outrage.

"But ASR... you met her two days ago only...."

"So what? She is Khushi... my girl... she is mine damn it." He shouted like manioc.

Not only Aman but also NK horrified hearing that.

"I can't leave her. I will get her at any cost. Or else I will die. Understood?"

Aman saw here and there. Taking a glass of water, he splashed the water on his face. He just couldn't believe that Arnav is talking with sense.

"What the....k"

"What the hell is happening to you ASR? Do you say this with your sense? What a bloody problem with you?"

Arnav sat there holding his head.

"I don't know... I just can't understand anything"

"Do you know what you just uttered?"

"What?"

"You said you will break that Arjun's face"

Arnav was silent.

"Don't you feel bad for telling me like that?"

Arnav nodded NO.

"What's all this ASR? You said you like her but you were hesitant to propose to her saying that it's so earlier to propose than what happened to you?"

NK jerked hearing that. Does Arnav love Khushi?

"Yes, I thought about everything. But... when I got to know she is in love with someone, I can't bear it. It feels like I couldn't live without her"

"Disgusting... you were not like this ASR... this is not you"

"Call me beast... or monster... I won't give a damn"

"What do you do now?"

"I will ask Khushi about Arjun. I want to know who the hell he is... what does she like in him that she loves him...?"

Aman was like what the hell. He had no doubt that what Arnav talking is totally illogic. In fact, he is talking rubbish. He sighed as he couldn't understand anything. He is more confused than Arnav.

But NK was not confused. He was very clear about not getting confused. He decided to wait and watch. Being a good friend of Khushi, he was happy about Arnav's love for Khushi because he knew Khushi is not in love with anyone. As per the recent happenings of Arnav's life, he was sure that something unknown is dominating Arnav and it's going to be revealed soon. He felt like he had seen Arnav before. But where?

Arnav decided to ask Khushi about Arjun. What will be her reaction? NK was sure there is no one called Arjun. Then why does Arnav get such a dream? Who is Arjun? Is the girl in his dream really Khushi or someone who resembles Khushi? There were many questions wavering in NK's mind analyzing the possibilities. He doesn't want to confuse himself. So, he went to Khushi's house. He saw her mother sleeping.

"Is dinner ready, Khushi?"

"In ten minutes"

"No problem. I will be waiting"

He sat there, making sure that she is in his eyesight only. He removed the phone and pretended like talking to someone.

"Hi, Arjun...."

He watched Khushi's expression who was sincerely rolling the roti, not showing any change in her face. NK huffed in relief inwardly. He again pretended like cutting the call.

"My friend, Arjun's call."

Khushi nodded her head smilingly and her concentration went back to the roti. If she is in love with Arjun then she couldn't have been so casual when she hears the name suddenly.

"Khushi, shall you give the dinner to them? I got urgent work"

"Ok," Khushi said while nodding her head.

NK left the place and went towards Arnav's room. He again hid near the window to hear their talks. It seems Arnav and Aman have not finished their talks yet.

"ASR... please control yourself. Khushi is a village girl. She may get panicked by your behavior and it may turn into trouble to us"

Arnav was silent. He didn't know how he will react when he sees her. From the time, he saw her clear figure; he was not in his sense. He had lost his peace and control.

They heard a knock on the door. NK got an alert. Aman opened the door. He became nervous, seeing Khushi. She got in with a sweet smile.

Aman was looking at Arnav. He saw his jaw tightening.

"Who is Arjun?" Arnav asked.

Khushi was keeping the boxes on the table and also a ghee bottle, not giving heed to Arnav's question. Aman frowned at her. He was also thought like NK. How could she be so casual after hearing the name ARJUN if she loves Arjun?

But our hero is not in the sense to think of it. Taking a few steps, he reached her and stood in front of her. Khushi smiled at him which poured oil into his anger.

"Who is Arjun, Khushi?" He asked her directly and made her frown.
