Khushi spent the rest of the day just thinking about what Arnav had told her, she dint even know why she felt so hurt, it wasn't like anything had happened between them, then why was she feeling so angry?

Was it really just because of what Arnav had told her or was there something else bothering her too? She knew about Arnav's friendship with Saira, and as long as nothing had happened between them, she shouldn't be really mad about this.

Maybe Arnav just ended up being naïve, and maybe she was getting mad just because she had been insecure all this time and it all came out at once.

She grabbed her phone and looked at it, battling on whether she should call or at least text Arnav or maybe just take some more time until she was completely calm then talk to him.

This long-distance relationship was just making things worse for them, she wished time would fly so she would get done with this and go back to him, at least if she was going to be around no other girl would try and hit on him.

The whole night, she just kept tossing and turning on her bed trying to get some sleep but she couldn't, because she was worried.

Right now Arnav did tell her what had happened, but what would happen if someday that Saira managed to convince him to leave her? She was so beautiful, way prettier, what if Arnav was going to see how pretty she was and decide he wanted to be with her? What would she do?

Even the though of losing him scared the hell out of her, she dint know what she was going to do if it happened someday.

She covered her face with the blanket and tried to control her tears, why was everything getting so messed up suddenly?

*****

The next morning, Khushi dint feel like going to college, but she had to, she dint want her brothers finding out about Arnav, they would be so quick in telling her and 'I told you so' besides it wasn't Arnav's fault that Saira was interested in him.

She had decided to call him after class today and make things right between them both, she dint like fighting with him.

She got out of her bed, took a quick shower, got dressed and then headed out of her room to have breakfast with Rudra.

He was already waiting for her at the table, as soon as she walked out, he looked at his watch and then at her.

"You're late."

"I know, I was sleepy." Khushi said as she yawned.

"Why, didn't you sleep well?" Rudra looked at her curiously.

"I did, I'm still sleepy, happens sometimes. Anyway let's eat quickly then leave, I don't want to be late for my classes too." Khushi said as she grabbed her plate and started eating to avoid any conversation with Rudra, right now she dint feel like talking to anyone, she had a lot of thoughts going on in her mind that she needed to process, and for that she needed some alone time and some silence.

After their breakfast, Rudra dropped Khushi at the college and then headed to get his work done, Khushi went straight to her class and sat down in her usual place, the class was half full, some students had arrived, some were still roaming in the hallway.

She got her books out and stared at the board in front of her blankly as she started thinking about what Arnav had told her again.

"Hello, earth to Khushi." Jake shook her.

"What?" Khushi looked at him feeling irritated.

"Is it that time of the month? Why are you so moody?" He asked.

"What are you doing in my class anyway?" Khushi asked wondering why the lecturer hadn't arrived yet and why Jake was here irritating her.

"I was missing you so thought I'd pay you a visit." He smirked.

"Haha funny. Get lost." She rolled her eyes.

"So rude, I am here genuinely concerned for you and you're telling me to get lost. You even ignored me in the hallway, is this some new game you're playing? Oh wait, I get it, girls usually avoid guys they like to see if they'll come running for their attention. Do you like me Khushi?" Jake smirked.

"What?" She looked at him in disbelief.

"I mean I am so hot, half the girls in this place can't get off me, so I would get it if you liked me too and see you're lucky, you even have my attention." He smirked.

"Then go give those girls attention, I don't need it." She frowned.

"Wow, did I do something to have you so mad at me? What did I do?" He pouted as she looked at her cutely, the way he looked at her melted her heart actually and she realized she was being rude to him for no reason.

"Okay, I'm sorry you dint do anything, I'm just moody."

"Is that so? Come I'll cheer you up, I'll get you ice cream from the canteen."

"No, unlike you, I have a class to attend."

"You won't listen like that, I'll have to carry you to the canteen." Jake smirked.

"No way in hell!" She said as she stood up and stepped away from him but he came closer actually trying to pick her up in his arms so she had to run away, she ran out of the classroom while he chased her.

The chase went on for a while until the both of them got tired and sat down on a bench trying to catch some breath.

"That was fun." Jake smiled.

"Yeah, it actually was." Khushi smiled back and looked at him, for a moment there, the both of them looked at each other, it was like they were sharing a romantic eye lock.

Jake slowly slid his hand on her cheek and moved closer to her, it was like he was about to kiss her. Wait, was he about to kiss her? Khushi stood up and stepped backwards immediately as she looked at him in shock.

"I'm sorry, I dint mean to..." Jake apologized.

"I have to go, I've got a class to attend." Khushi said as she ran away from there feeling confused, she dint even go to her class, she just went far away from Jake and settled down on a bench feeling really weird about what had just happened.

Everything was starting to make sense somehow, there was a reason why she wasn't as mad as she should be at Arnav, because deep down she knew, whatever kind of friendship Arnav had with Saira, she also had it with Jake, and Arnav wasn't getting insecure about Jake, so why was she getting insecure about Saira?

Maybe to Arnav, Saira was just a friend, just like Jake was a friend to her, and maybe he was saying the truth, he wasn't thinking and ended up doing some stupid things, but Saira was the one that tried to kiss him, just like Jake had tried to kiss her a while back.

So what was the difference between them both? Why did Saira and Jake even have to come in their lives and mess everything up?

She really needed to talk to Arnav, it was high time the cleared this mess.

But why the hell would Jake even try to kiss her in the first place? Wasn't he always avoiding girls? None of this made any sense.

She pulled out her phone from the pocket and dialed Arnav's number hoping he was going to pick up, it seemed like he was just seated by the phone waiting for her to call, because he received it as soon as it rang.

"Khushi." He said.

"Hey... can we talk?" Khushi asked.

"Sure. I've been waiting for your call since we talked. Look I am really sorry please try to understand me, I dint do any of it on purpose, I swear." Arnav spoke.

"You don't have to apologize Arnav, I realized it wasn't your fault, you were just being friendly to her and if she took it otherwise it wasn't your fault. I am so sorry that I got mad at you, at least you told me the truth instead of lying to me."

"Really? What changed your mind?" Arnav asked.

"I'll tell you but please don't get mad at me like I got mad at you."

"Why, what happened?"

"I was just pretty lost today, thinking about everything then Jake tried to cheer me up by saying he would take me to the canteen to get ice cream, I refused so he was like he would pick me up and take me there so I kind of ran away from him. Anyway after our chase ended, we sat down on a bench to get some breath and I don't know why but he tried to kiss me. I backed off immediately I promise, I dint even wait for a moment I swear. Anyway, that happened and I realized things." Khushi said as she explained everything that she had been thinking all this while as Arnav listened to her silently.

After Khushi was done explaining, she kept on calling out Arnav's name but he wouldn't reply, he wouldn't even say a word. Was he mad at her? It was like the tables had turned now, yesterday she was mad at him and today he was mad at her.
