ARNAV

As I drove to work, I couldn't stop feeling angry, I just wanted to get out my anger and frustration on something so I kept on hitting the steering wheel.

How couldn't I have seen it? Maybe because it was totally unexpected but I was clearly pissed, I need answers, I needed to know why.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I headed straight to Aman's office, he was busy working on something, he looked up immediately as I push the door open and walked inside, there was some sort of fire burning inside me.

"Why?" I asked him angrily, I felt like punching him but he was my friend, how could I just punch him, but he was an idiot too.

"Sorry, but what are you talking about?" He asked, I placed the laptop on his table and played the footage, he watched it for a while and then looked at me in confusion as if he dint have an idea on what the hell was going on.

Such a bloody pretender!

"Why are you showing me this?" He asked.

"Why have you been following Khushi? I thought you dint like the fact that I wanted her to be our model then, oh wait I get it, you really dint want her to do modelling for the company that's why you were doing this right?" I said as I tried to join the pieces together.

"What the hell Arnav? You can't just bring random footage and tell me I was stalking her, and whoever the guy in the footage, you can't even see the face so how can you say it's me!" Aman looked at me angrily, seriously? He was still denying this?

"It's not any damn random footage Aman, I got it from Khushi's house and if you want me to tell you ow I knew it was you look at it once again maybe you'll realize that the hoodie you are wearing is the one I gifted to you, it was a designer and only one piece no one else can have the same hoodie.

Then I noticed your walking style, your shoes, and everything say it is you, one similar thing can be a coincidence but not everything so stop beating around the bush and tell me why?" I looked at him angrily.

Honestly I had never been this angry before but today I was, because of Khushi and I was angry on my best friend.

"Okay fine, yes it's me, stop making a big deal about it!" He shrugged as he settled down, seriously? Why was he acting like it was normal?

"Why the hell were you stalking her Aman?" I looked at him seriously, he stared back at me for a moment and then stood up and started walking around the room.

"When you made the decision of having her as our model, I thought she wasn't worth it and I hated it but you were the boss so I had to go on with it but then the day she came to meet me at the office, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

I realized why you really wanted for her to be our model, I mean she is just so perfect so flawless and I just kind of felt attracted towards her beauty.

I wanted to get to know her more and be friends with her too but she dint talk much to me so I thought I's just find out about her and get to know her likes and dislikes then approach her and try to impress her but then I found out she had a damn boyfriend.

I was pissed, I dint know what to do, all I knew was that I had this urge and I wanted her and I was willing to go to any extent for that, so I started following her everything, trying to know things about her.

I wouldn't have done it if I knew you liked her too, I just thought for you she was like all those other models, that maybe you just wanted to sleep with her and then get done with it but then when I followed the both of you on the dinner date you went, I realized you liked her, so much.

The way she talked to you and seemed comfortable around you was a proof that if either of us had a chance it was you, so I convinced myself to stop doing it.

I promise I wasn't going to follow her anymore, I just don't know, for a moment I got carried away, any man could, I mean just look at her." Aman explained.

I looked at him in disbelief as he explained everything to me, until now I thought he did it all because he disliked her but now was when I realized that he liked her.

I was so angry on him for stalking her but then he was my friend too and he made a mistake and as a friend I was supposed to forgive him for it and advise him not to repeat it, as long as he hadn't don't any harm to her.

"I understand you Aman, I don't know what's about her but it's made me want to follow her everywhere too but I can, it would just scare her and I wouldn't want her to be scared. Plus neither of us has a chance anyway, she has a boyfriend and she's really happy with him.

So I beg you, if you like her, just try to talk to her or approach her don't do this scary things, it's not right, you are my friend Aman, and I don't want you to do anything that might ruin this friendship of ours." I looked at him sadly.

"I know Arnav, I know what I did was wrong and I swear I wasn't going to do it again, please don't tell her I was the one, she would hate me."

"Of course I won't tell her, she doesn't have to know, but please don't repeat it, if it happens again, I might not be able to forgive you for it." I said to him, he nodded as he hugged me.

Khushi! Khushi! Khushi! What are you doing to us?

*****

The last time I saw her was in the morning when I went to her house, it was night now and I had this strong urge of seeing her, I just couldn't control the outburst of emotions inside me, I don't know what kind of urge I had, all I wanted was to see her and be around her.

I picked up my phone and typed a text to her, I wasn't going to do anything like Aman did because it was wrong, so if I wanted to see her, I wouldn't inform her.

"Are you home? Can I come by if you aren't busy? Need to talk." I typed a text and sent it to her, gladly she replied immediately cheering me up.

God! Why was this girl making me feel this way?

"Sure, you can come, I'm just at home." A text popped up, as soon as I read it, I jumped out of my bed in excitement, I quickly got dressed and headed straight to her place, I couldn't wait to see her.

I stood in front of the door as I rang the door bell, a servant opened it and I walked in, she was seated in the hall all alone watching TV, she was dressed in really cute Pajamas it made me want to hug her. ughh Arnav, stop thinking like this.

"Hey." She smiled at me, I smiled back at her as I walked towards her and sat down looking around, I hoped her friend wasn't around, the way she was staring at me in the morning was awkward.

"Isn't your friend around?" I asked.

"No she has a night shoot, so was this an excuse to come see Ananya, do you by any chance have a crush on her?" She smirked at me.

"What? No! it was just awkward with her, and I was here to see you, to talk about the stalker." I said, her expressions changed to serious one in a matter of seconds.

"Tell me, did you find out who it was?" She asked me, only if I could tell her the truth, but I couldn't do that to Aman, so I had to lie to her because I dint want her to keep living in fear either.

"Yeah I did, it wasn't really a stalker it was some idiot journalist that wanted to find spicy news about your personal life, this media people I tell you. But you don't have to worry about it I got it handled so no one would stalk you anymore." I smiled at her.

"Really? Thank God, I thought I had a stalker." She sighed.

"Well seeing that you are so gorgeous, and just so perfect it wouldn't be a surprise if you had one, I couldn't imagine myself stalking you also." I giggled.

"Oh I see, does Arnav Singh Raizada have a crush on me?" She smirked, I wish I could tell her yes, but I had to hide it from her, there was no point, she had a damn boyfriend.

Only if I could do something about that Aditya guy, why couldn't he just get out of her life and leave her for me, I've never wanted anything in my life as much as I wanted this girl to myself.

"Not really, but I could have someday." I laughed.

"Keep your heart safe, I already have a boyfriend." She giggled, that damn boyfriend!

Oh God, it was becoming difficult to understand my feelings for her, why was I feeling this way and acting this way? I had to relax she was just a normal girl and I dint react this way about girls anyway.

But she was special, because I couldn't just take my eyes off her, why was she so freaking perfect? It was becoming hard to stop myself from feeling so much about her.

"I hope you wouldn't be worried now, you really are safe trust me." I said.

"If you're saying so I'd believe you, and thank you for doing this for me Arnav, I dint expect you to give a damn about it." She smiled at me.

"If it's about your safety and happiness, I would definitely give a damn about it Khushi." I said, why couldn't she see how important she was becoming for me, how I had her in my mind twenty for hours?

"Why do you care so much Arnav?" She asked as she stared at me seriously.

"I don't know, I just do." I shrugged, I wanted to tell her I cared because she was driving me crazy but I couldn't. Aditya Kapoor, just break up with her already, it was becoming difficult for me to stay away from her.

Khushi, please stop doing this to me.

My thoughts were distracted by a door bell, a servant rushed to open the door and Aditya walked in. Talk of the devil and the devil comes. What the hell was he doing here? Khushi stood up excitedly as she rushed to hug him, he wrapped her arm around her waist and twirled her around making her giggle.

I found myself clutching my fists tightly, I wanted to punch this damn guy, I wanted to be the one to make her feel this way, why couldn't she just give me the chance? He broke the hug and looked at me.

"Arnav, what a pleasant surprise." He smiled, damn how hard I had to try to smile back at him.
