Chapter 50: Chapter 50

Arhaan's P.O.V.

.

Hearing Khushi's question, I got totally silent finding nothing to answer and just kept driving towards home.

When Khushi asked me again, "Arhaan, what's the matter?", I just answered, "Nothing." and she also got silent at that.

Arriving home, I stopped the car at the parking plot. Khushi was about to get down but stopped as I uttered her name, "Khushi?" and turned to me.

She kept looking at me without uttering anything and I spoke up, "Don't you think your father and brother deserve some kind of feedback after treating you like that?"

As I uttered all these, her eyes got widened. Without bothering to think for a moment, she spoke up, "NO."

While glaring at her, I spoke up then, "Why?" only to get her uttering the funniest joke, "Because they are my family, Arhaan."

When I sarcastically uttered, "As if!", she spoke up getting all sad, "Just because they did wrong to me, if I also get on doing wrong to them then what will be the difference between us? I know they don't love me but it's not like I am also like them. I love them, Arhaan."

I couldn't help scoffing hearing her only to get her started shedding tears which made me silent then.

The chain of my thought got broken when Khushi shook my hand and uttered, "Arhaan, you wanted to say something to me?"

I realized the earlier happening was just my thought but it would get real for sure if I would ask Khushi that question.

Being annoyed at that thought, I spoke up, "Nothing."

Khushi gave me a confused look but without bothering that, I got down from the car.

When Api caught the sight of us getting back home together, she smiled heartily and spoke up, "You two are back! That's good. Go freshen up first. Then get downstairs."

Nodding at her, we forwarded towards our room and I kept thinking, "Shouldn't api expect Rifan to get Khushi home? Then why is she behaving like all happy when I got Khushi back home!"

Khushi's P.O.V.

.

When Rifan asked Arhaan who he was, while answering, Arhaan stopped midway and turned to me.

I thought Arhaan was hesitating to say about our relationship. But at least he won't mind at this much and with this thought, I ended up saying he was my friend.

But then Arhaan just started walking towards his car without giving me a second glance and I followed him being all confused at his behaviour.

In car when Arhaan asked about my relationship with Rifan, I couldn't get what he was referring to.

Rifan was not my friend. It's hardly 3 days, I talked to Rifan and that also got happening because of Preety.

When we reached home, I was about to get down from the car but got stopped as Arhaan uttered my name, "Khushi?"

I turned to him and he just kept staring at me confusingly without uttering anything.

When I spoke up while shaking him as he seemed to be lost somewhere, he uttered the same answer, "Nothing." and got down from the car. Being all confused, I also got down from the car and followed him inside.

When we entered the house, Api welcomed us with a warm smile.

This was something I always wanted to have from my family but never got.

I really started to feel like a member of this family but didn't know how long it would last.

I was getting afraid as it was always like this for me. I ended up losing the person whoever I got fond of at some point.

With fearful mind, I forwarded towards our room.

Muhib's P.O.V.

.

Before leaving for office when Areesha out of the blue started talking about Khushi's going to college with Rifan, I couldn't get to say anything.

But after seeing the change in Arhaan's behaviour towards Khushi, I decided to talk to Areesha about it.

When I got back home early in the evening, Areesha was in the kitchen. Seeing me, she excitedly came forward and uttered, "Muhib, you know? Today Arhaan got Khushi back home from college."

Though I didn't want to throw cold water on her excitement but I spoke up only to get it wiped off.

She just kept all silent as I went on saying, "Areesha, don't you know very well of the nature of Arhaan? What if he takes wrong ideas about Khushi and her friend, Rifan?"

Staring at me for a moment, Areesha spoke up, "You don't worry. I have already talked to him."

I didn't know who was she talking about but hearing her, I understood this much that she was up to something again.

Then I spoke up making an all serious expression, "Areesha, here we are talking about Arhaan. Our Arhaan. He who can go to any extent if he feels something against his will. Here he started to take his relationship with Khushi normally though it did not get to happen with his consent and now you are pushing him like this. Why are being like this? Just let him take it slow."

At this point I stopped as I caught the sight of Arhaan getting down and got to my room.

Arhaan's P.O.V.

Getting freshen up, I got downstairs and found vai was already there. He was talking to Api in the living room but as soon as he saw me, he got silent.

Seeing their faces, I could easily tell something was going on between them. But before I could ask anything, Vai spoke up, "You two sit. I going to get freshen up."

Api spoke up then, "You sit, Vai. I am bringing something for you to eat."

Bringing a coffee and some snacks, Api sat beside me and we kept talking on random stuffs. I asked api once what's the matter with vai but she just ignored that topic.

Generally Api never hides anything from me and she ends up telling me at some moment. So I didn't bother her to answer me right then.

She asked me then, "Vai, where is Khushi?"

"She is with Esha, api. They are eating their favourite chocolates." I uttered the last part only to get api give me a shocking look.

She stood up at once and uttered, "You wait. I am going to get them."

I smilingly uttered, "Let them be Api. And Khushi is there with Esha. It's not like she will let Esha eat that much of chocolates at a time."

Api gave me a shocking look only to get me utter, "What?"

She sat again with a smile and uttered, "Nothing, Vai." and then kept talking for a while until I got back to my room.

Entering my room, I found Khushi arranging her clothes in closet. My phone started ringing right then. It was Aman. While talking to him, I started to work on the laptop.

When I was done with my phone call and was fully lost in work, my phone started ringing again. It took me some time to understand it was not mine but Khushi's phone was ringing which was on my table.

While taking the phone, I spoke up, "Khushi, your phone" only to get stopped as I caught the sight of the caller ID.

"Rifan Calling.."

Being irritated, I uttered under my breath, "Weren't they together few hours back? Now what new he wants to talk about?"

Khushi took the phone from my hand and answered it. I was fully on their conversation though I kept staring at the laptop screen.

When I didn't get to hear anything, I turned to Khushi and all she just uttered, "Sorry." and left the room and went towards the poolside.

I kept thinking like what things they were about to talk that she couldn't do it in my presence!

Leaving that thought at rest, I tried to concentrate on my work. But when it was almost half an hour and Khushi still kept talking on phone while walking all around the poolside with all smiling face, I couldn't help getting the poolside.

While glaring at her, I spoke up, "Would you mind to continue gossiping with your Rifan getting inside the room? It's cold out there."

Like seriously, she started taking steps towards me while talking on phone.

I mean shouldn't she cut off the line for now at least! But No.

When she was about to enter the room, I took steps towards my table only to get stopped hearing what she uttered smilingly to that guy, Rifan“, Do you by any chance like me?”
