I sat Infront of her nervously not knowing how to start explaining myself, she kept on looking at me angrily like she would punch me any moment from now.

"Look Aditi, I'm sorry but you have to understand."

"Understand what Khushi? You taking that Arnav's side instead of mine? I thought we were best friends!" She said angrily.

"I did it for a reason Aditi. You have to talk to him calmly, try and understand why he did whatever he did." I tried to explain.

"Seriously Khushi? I mean I don't just get it why you've suddenly started supporting him despite everything I told you about him?" She stood up angrily. Wow if she was reacting this way about me supporting Arnav, how was she going to react when I told her that I was dating him?

"I am just trying to talk to you Aditi, why are you getting mad about everything?"

"Because you are my best friend, you are supposed to be on my side, you are supposed to understand that I am right and I can't forgive him for what he did to my sister!"

"And I am trying to make you understand that he dint do it purpose Aditi! Why are you trying to be so adamant, why can't you just listen to me for once? He had his own reasons, you were right maybe he was a coward but so what? Not everyone is strong okay, he did whatever he had to, he made mistakes but he's asking for forgiveness now, the least you can do is listen to him." I shouted back angrily.

Seriously she was getting on my nerves, she dint want to listen to a thing, I was trying to hard to explain but she wouldn't just listen!

"Fine, you want me to listen to him, I will but on one condition." She agreed.

Finally!

"What condition?" I asked curiously, I just hoped she dint have a crazy or stupid demand.

"You would tell me the reason behind why you're advocating him. I mean we sat down, we talked about all he did and yet here you are, trying to convince me to listen to him, why?"

"I'm just being a good person."

"Oh please, lie to someone else, I know you Khushi and I know you have a reason behind this so tell me the reason and I'll go talk to him and listen to his dumb explanation which doesn't even make sense."

"Promise me, if I tell you, you will talk to him."

"I promise." She nodded.

I inhaled a deep breath, was I even ready to tell her about Arnav and I yet? Would she even understand? What if I tell her and she refuses to talk to him? What would be the point of all this?

"I am waiting Khushi, you can't be silent forever right?" She looked at me seriously. Oh God, why was she so scary sometimes?

"I... I am... Arnav and I.... I mean..." Why was I so nervous seriously?

"You know you aren't making any sense right? Why are you scared to tell me, it's not like you've killed someone, so come on tell me Khushi, why are you telling me to listen to Arnav?" She literally shouted.

"Because I love him okay!" I shouted back, she looked at me in shock as I looked back at her in shock. I wasn't even shocked about letting it out, I was shocked about admitting my feelings for him, I mean of course I knew I was attracted to him but right now I had admitted to being in love with him.

I always thought he would be the first person I'll tell about it to, but I guess I was wrong, I told Aditi and she was in shock at the moment.

"What?" She asked.

"You heard it right Aditi, I am in love with Arnav, and I am tired of pretending not to be, I am tired of pretending to hate him like you do because that's what best friends do, but I can't do it anymore okay.

I know you're going to be mad about it, but please try to understand me, I didn't choose these feelings, they chose me, and I feel them and that is the truth. I don't even know if I'm making any sense here but the bottom line is I am in love with Arnav.

So please, for the sake of me, solve whatever problems you two have and get back to normal because I want to be able to talk to my best friend about it."

"Wow!" She said as she walked around, she dint say anything after that and she sounded kind of sarcastic when she said it so I dint even know what her reaction was going to be.

"Are you serious?" She asked.

"Do I look like I'm joking Aditi?"

"Wow, I am just speechless Khushi. Like seriously." She looked at me angrily.

"Is that all you are going to say? I'm nervous here I don't even know how you feel about it."

"I hate it! Of course, I hate it Khushi. I ask you not to do one thing, one freaking thing! And you go do it anyway. Are you really even my friend?" she looked at me accusingly.

Well this was what I was kind of expecting, but a part of me was also hoping that she would understand me, guess she didn't.

"I can't believe it, why Khushi?"

"You are asking me as if I told my heart, listen heart go love Arnav. It happens Aditi."

"You know what, I can't even deal with you right now. After years I thought I finally had my best friend back, I guess I was wrong. You never really were my best friend." She looked at me angrily for a moment and then walked out of her room angrily.

"That is not true." I said as I rushed behind her.

"What's not true Khushi? You betraying me like this? Why don't you ever do just one thing right?"

"I haven't betrayed you, just because I feel for Arnav doesn't mean that I am not your friend anymore. Whatever disagreement you have with him, I get it, btu why force it upon me? Just because you dislike him I am supposed too?

I am sorry I would dislike everyone else you do but not him, it's not possible and I really hope that you understand me, I am still your best friend."

"No you aren't anymore."

"Please don't say that, we have solved the mess between us after ages, you can't end again our friendship like that once again, it doesn't make sense Aditi.

You know it, I did nothing wrong, you can't keep blaming me for things like this, I'm not even forcing you to like Arnav or anything, all I asked for was for you two to talk and solve the issue between you two."

"Well I will talk to him because I promised you, unlike you Khushi, I keep my promises." She walked away again.

"So you're going to leave me hanging just like this? Without sorting this out?"

"it's upon you to sort things out Khushi. I am so done with everything being you way, when you left me and dint bother to check up on me, it was your decision not mine, you could have made a different decision but you chose not to.

You know what, even this one it's going to be your decision. It's going to be either me or Arnav in your life, you cant have the both of us because I am sure as hell I won't forgive him for what he did and I cant be friends with his girlfriend!" She looked at me in disgust and then left.

Wow, I couldn't even believe the words that came out of her mouth, did she really mean it? Why did she have to hate Arnav that much?

I mean it was because of that hatred that she was telling me to choose between them both, well how could I choose? I loved them both, there was no way I could make this choice.

I had gotten my best friend back after years, I dint want for it to go back the way it was. And I had fallen in love for the first time, I had already tried staying away from Arnav when he told me to and it was so painful.

Seriously, what did she expect me to do?

My phone rang bringing me out of the thoughts, I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the screen, it was Arnav calling me.

"Hey." I said as I held the phone close to my ear.

"Hey... I was waiting for you to call me and tell me how things with Aditi went but since you didn't, I got worried and thought I'd just call you myself, did you talk to her?" He asked.

"Yeah I did." I replied.

"And..."

"I told her about us and she got really mad, she left saying I had to choose between you both, if I have you, I cant be friends with her and if I want to be friends with her I cant be with you." I said. Arnav just listened silently, I think he was as shocked as I was because he didn't say anything, I knew he was listening to me, I could hear the sound of his breaths.
