He frowned deeply sitting on the bench making knots at the end of his tie & untying it. He pursed his lips as the sign of displeasure. His eyes sincerely followed each and every action of hers. His face grew disgust by each passing minute as his patience level snapped out it's capacity. He jumped down from his bench and walked towards the place where she's sitting with her new friend.

“Khuchi come with me.” Arnav called holding her arm ready to yank her up.

“Annav… Do you need anythil(n)g?” Khushi asked not budging his pulls.

Arnav small brows knitted in displeasure “You always sit with me right. Why are you hele now? Come there and cit with me.”

“Annav. He's my new fliend Rahul. I wal(n)t to sit with him.” Khushi replied calmly. Her small mind couldn't understand Arnav's sudden changed behaviour. She's supporting her new friend who joined today & who have no friend of own for now.

“But I am your fliend not him.” Arnav declared angrily & pushed that little boy finger which accidentally brushed against Khushi arm.

“Annav he's also my fliend like you. He's saddy. You kl(n)ow no one is spleaking to him. I am sad.” Khushi pouted sadly sharing her worry about her classmates behaviour towards Rahul including Arnav.

“I am also c(s)ad becal(u)se you're not sitting with me. Come with me khuchi.” Arnav again pulled her up and tried to drag her to his bench where they usually sit together.

“Annav leave me. Our Anchal mam is abol(u)t to come. I'll not come. Rahul would feel alone.” Khushi said in worry pulling away her hand from his hold.

Rahul who has seen everything silently jumped forward to stop Arnav who is ready to drag her again “Hey annav. Leave Khushi. She wants to sit here.”

Arnav rage elevated to new level. How dare he to snatch his khuchi from him? Khuchi is only his friend no one else's. She should only talk with him. She shouldn't befriend with anyone.

Without thinking about consequences Arnav pushed down rahul “I am talking to her. She's only my friend, MY Khuchi. Don't speak to her.”

That's it, Rahul eyes brimmed with tears by the hurt. His elbow got a little scratch which caused him pain.

Khushi’s little eyes widen in shock & she cupped her hollow mouth in terror “Omg. What you did annav?”

“Arnav, what's happening here? Can't you keep your hands to yourself? I am tired of rusticating you. This time you're suspended for a week. Let me call your parents.”

Arnav pouted at her sadly “But I didn't do anything. He's snatching my fliend khuchi.”

His voice went unheard as their instructor already left from there taking Rahul with her to give him first aid. Khushi slowly nudged Arnav arms and apologised softly.

“Annav sorlly.”

“It's ok. But plomise me you'll remain only as my fliend.” Arnav sweetly extended his small palm.

Khushi frowned & started to think.

“Khuchi. I didn't give you choice. You have to plomise me.” Dictating this Arnav took Khushi small right palm & placed it on his extended one's.

“See now, you plomised. Only I am your fliend.”

“Haww… this is cl(h)eating annav.” Khushi jumped making crying face.

“No no.. Arnav never cheats.” Arnav defended himself.

Khushi pouted having no chance to argue with him.

“Annav…” Khushi squealed entering into big mansion.

“Arey Khushi doll… Your annav is not running anywhere not atleast without you, come here.” Ratna, Arnav amma scooped running khushi in her arms. She kissed Khushi’s chubby cheeks & pinched it feeling it softness.

“Aulty I want to see annav. I want to sl(h)ow my new dress.” Khushi cooed in her childish voice.

“Oh achha, this big madam only wants to show to her annav. Won't you show it to me?” Ratna hit her forehead against Khushi forehead softly.

“You’re now seeing na.” Khushi replied with a sheepish smile.

“Aww baby… you grew naughty just like your annav.” She placed a sound kiss on khushi cheeks and let her down as her friend Garima entered the scene.

“This girl run inside before I could take this gifts.” Garima said handing her a bag.

“What's the need for this?” Ratna chided. In no time friends got engrossed themselves on their chat meanwhile khushi opened Arnav's room.

“Annav…” Khushi called in a loud voice but next instant bit her tongue seeing other occupants in the room.

“Hey you're looking like a doll.” A new voice echoed inside the room.

Khushi shyly looked at the direction & found one boy staring at her.

“She isn't any doll.” Arnav retorted with anger dripping in his voice.

Khushi eyes misted in no time. Her parents said she's looking like a doll but her fliend annav is saying opposite.

“She's my khuchi.” Arnav added in no time. The tears which are ready to tumble down from her eyes left with no trace of it.

Arnav come forward & held her arm taking her inside his room.

“What's your beauty name doll?” That boy asked again ignoring Arnav’s angry stare.

“Khushi.” Khushi replied shyly plastering herself against Arnav.

“Bhai she's my khuchi not any doll. Don't call her that. And don't spleak to her, she's afl(r)aid of strangers.” Arnav willingly gave explanation with menace.

“Oh, really? This cute baby is shy baby ah?”

“Stop calling her baby. She's my khuchi, not baby.” Arnav declared possessively and dragged her out from the sight of his cousin who stood like he's going to scoop Khushi at anytime.

“Annav wait… why ale you dragging me? Why did you lied that I am afraid of strangers?” Khushi asked matching his steps.

“He's bald.”

“It's bad annav.” Khushi whined stomping her foot.

“It's Arnav not annav.” He groaned on his little voice.

“Annav.”

“Khuchi.”

Khushi stopped and stood before him twirling her dress “How's my dress? My daddy bought this today?”

“You look like pl(r)incess. Like... Cinderella…” Arnav exclaimed in admiration.

“Thank you.” She answered shyly. Arnav leaned forward and placed his lips on her cheeks innocently “Khuchi looks beautiful.”
