After all the misunderstandings that happened between them, especially because of other people, Arnav had made up his mind to start thinking and acting mature, he loved Khushi so much and he didn't want to do anything that would ever bring their relationship at a verge of breaking.

Neither of them had ever thought that long distance would be this hard, especially when they weren't even physical yet, but now he knew he was going to make sure that nothing else came in between them again, at least while they were away from each other because communication was pretty difficult when they couldn't even talk face to face.

Today, he just wanted to sit down, talk to her for as long as possible and make sure the both of them discussed everything so that there was nothing left bothering either of them.

He sat in front of his laptop waiting for Khushi to accept his video call request, they had decided to talk to each other at the time and now she wasn't receiving his call, he wondered if something else had happened again.

"Hey, sorry Rudra wouldn't let me leave without eating." She pouted as soon as she accepted the call.

"It's okay." Arnav smiled faintly.

"So... tell me, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I wanted to talk about us, a lot had happened since we started this long distance and I just think we should talk."

"Okay, I'm listening..."

"I know we still have like over one year until you get done with your studies and come back, and I can't wait for it, I can't wait for you to be here so I can get to see you every day, I can't wait for us to be together and I want to keep hoping for us babe, I really do. I just realized with this long distance, we aren't communicating as much as we should and that has caused a lot of problem in our relationship.

So from now on, I want us to talk, about everything, even if it's something you think is stupid, just talk to me about it please, never stay silent about anything that bothers you no matter how small.

If we start communicating, I'm sure half the problems we've had in the past months would disappear, we just need to be comfortable enough with each other to tell each other about anything and everything."

"I know... you're right, we lack communication and we will work on it, I promise. I want to make us work as much as you do"

"So... is there anything about me that's bothering you yet? Maybe something small, anything that you feel is bothering you?" Arnav asked.

"No... I think I have all the answers and explanation... currently there's nothing bothering me."

"Even Saira?"

"No... I guess I was just overthinking it too much, I mean we both know how pretty she is, it just made me a little bit insecure, I thought you would stop thinking I was pretty."

"Babe, you're the prettiest girl for me, and I love you, it isn't a competition, just because you think she is prettier than you doesn't mean I do..."

"I know, but the mind thinks what it thinks, and I would never want to control your life, trying to tell you who you should be talking to and who you shouldn't be talking to, I don't care if you talk to the whole world, all I want is for you to love me, only me and the rest wouldn't matter. Anyway I've been okay since we talked and told each other everything."

"Okay, but I think you should know this, I confronted Saira about everything she did and I realized it was time for me to end whatever friendship I had with her, if she was really my friend and she cared about me, she would have never tried to jeopardize our relationship and I don't need anyone that tried to harm our relationship in my life so I am done with her and I just wanted you to know that.

I made this decision on my own so you don't have to feel like you're controlling me, I just realized she isn't the kind of a person I want in my life and above all, no one will be as important as you to me, no matter how great they are or how pretty they are, I don't care, for me you are the one and I want you to believe in me, I will always try to do everything I can to keep you happy and I will always love you Khushi, I promise."

"I know Arnav, I'm sorry too... I'm sure if we would have just communicated then all this wouldn't have happened, but it still made our relationship stronger right?"

"I agree."

"Anyway from now on we would communicate and I know everything will be fine until I come back." Khushi smiled.

"Okay, I promise." Arnav smiled.

"So... is there anything about me that might still be bothering you?" Khushi asked.

"Nothing so far, but if there's something in the future, I'll tell you." He laughed.

"Okay, I'll be all ears." Khushi laughed too.

There was a short silence between them as they both stared at each other for a while, just silently as they thought about everything that happened recently and how much it had affected the both of them.

"I can't wait to be back there so everything can get back to normal, just us and no one between us, I hate this distance." Khushi pouted.

"I hate it too, but your brothers are testing me so what can I do?" Arnav laughed.

"I wish they could understand how much we love each other."

"They will, one day."

"Hopefully."

"So... how's Suman doing, we talk on calls sometimes but I'm worried about her. Prem isn't trying to talk to her or anything?" Khushi asked.

"No... I don't think he has tried to contact her, there have been instances when they were in the same place at the same time but they ignored each other and dint even talk."

"Oh... I feel really bad for Suman, I wish my brother wasn't such a stubborn guy. Now I don't even wish for them to get back together, he's a jerk and my best friend deserves better. I hope she moves on, it's sad that she's hurting.

I feel it's my fault, I shouldn't have tried to get them together in the first place, then maybe right now, she wouldn't be this hurt."

"It's not your fault Khushi, you were just trying to make the both of them happy."

"I know... I wish Prem wasn't such an idiot!" She rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm sure with time they will both move on given that they don't want to be together anyway."

"Yeah." Khushi smiled faintly.

"Anyway... how's everything there?"

"It's okay... nothing much going on. I'm just counting days till I finish my studies and get to come back, that too if I pass." She giggled.

"Of course you'll pass, you just have to stop worrying much about everything else and study hard."

"I know, I will, if I fail, I would have to redo everything and that's the last thing I want, it will just keep me away from you longer."

"Oh... I see someone is missing me so much." Arnav smirked.

"Not at all." Khushi giggled.

"Anyway... I'll talk to you tomorrow? I've got some studying to do, I have exams tomorrow... unless you have something else to say?"

"No... go study, I'll call you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye... love you and take good care of yourself for me."

"Sure, I will, I love you too." Khushi gave him a flying kiss as they both disconnected the call and lied down on their beds, neither of them could wait for the day they would get done with this long distance and finally be back together in the same city.

Only if time could fly.
