Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Khushi's P.O.V.

When I kept staring at Arhaan without uttering anything, he spoke up, "Is everything good at the orphanage?"

When I just nodded at that, he asked again, "Then what is it? What's bothering you actually?"

When I kept still silent, he spoke up impatiently, "Khushi, I am asking you for the last time. Are you going to tell me or not?"

Remembering past incident and being afraid to lose this friendship too, I couldn't get myself to utter a single word.

Then he uttered while letting out a sigh, "Okay. Fine. You don't need to tell me anything."

After that, he was about to leave the room but stopped at the door and uttered, "I thought you believed me enough now to share anything with me. But I guess I was wrong." and then left the room without turning back for once and before I could utter anything.

My mind got uttering then, "Don't get things complicated, Khushi. Just talk to him."

Giving this a good thought, I decided to talk to him. But deep in my heart I was afraid of his reaction after hearing me.

I kept waiting for him but he didn't get back to the room for a while. I knew he was angry that even on me, made me restless.

When it was almost half an hour but still Arhaan didn't get back to the room, I thought of going out of the room and forwarded towards the door.

But at the door I got bumped to Arhaan. I was about to fall but he got hold of me and I kept staring at him without even my realization.

Getting back to earth, I immediately got away from him only to get Arhaan utter with a little bit of anger, "Be careful."

Saying this, he forwarded towards the bed but got stopped and turned to me as I uttered his name, "Arhaan?"

Looking at me, he spoke up with the same as earlier tone, "What?"

Mustering up some courage, I uttered, "I want to talk to you."

He didn't utter anything but kept staring at me and I uttered again, "Arhaan, I know you don't believe in love and you consider me as a friend only but I..."

Saying up to this point, when I got stopped, Arhaan uttered while giving me a confused look, "But you what?"

Glancing at Arhaan for once, I looked down as I spoke up, "I have started falling for you, Arhaan.

I don't know when and how. All I just know that I love you."

When Arhaan didn't utter anything for a while, I again uttered, "Arhaan, I" only to get stopped as I found him give me a glaring look.

This was enough for me to get his answer which just got me paused there in my place.

Right then I got bumped to someone and to my utter surprise, it was Arhaan again.

He got hold of me without uttering anything and when I got away from him, he uttered in his casual tone, "What were you doing at the door?" only to get me understood that I was just imagining the earlier thing.

But remembering Arhaan's expression after my confession, the courage I mustered up started fading away and I got all silent.

When Arhaan uttered again shaking me, “Khushi?", I looked up at him and uttering, "Nothing.", I got near the bed.

Though Arhaan kept giving me a confusing look, I just got on the bed and lied down on my side and taking the comforter on properly on me, I closed my eyes....

Arhaan's P.O.V.

I thought Khushi trusted me enough to share anything with me. But proving me all wrong, she didn’t utter anything to me though I was sure something was bothering her.

She kept avoiding my gazes which got me all worked up. I asked her quite rudely for the last time but she still was like that only. Trying to avoid my gazes and all.

Getting pissed off, I got out of the room. Getting downstairs, I found Vai who was about to get upstairs but seeing me, he stopped.

I sat in the living room and vai got near me confusingly as he uttered, "Arhaan, any problem, dear?"

Without realising, I got uttering, "Vai, this Khushi will get me mad. She is behaving oddly. When I asked her what's the matter, all she just kept avoiding my gazes but didn't utter anything. She is surely hiding something from me. But what could it be? And why is she hiding the matter that even from me?"

When I realised, I was going on like this, I stopped immediately. Vai spoke up then, "Arhaan, if it was something regarding her that family or that orphanage, she surely would have told you."

Hearing Vai, I uttered again, "I know, Vai. Then what is it?"

This time vai smiled a little getting me all confused. When I was about to utter something, Vai spoke up, "May be it's nothing serious."

"Still, she should have told me, Vai." as soon as I said that, Vai spoke up, "Why? You called her your friend, right? In friendship is it necessary for a friend to tell every little thing to other?"

Hearing Vai, I got silent only to make him utter again, "Yaar, given her past, it's understandable why she isn't being able to open up fully. Don't be rude to her rather give her some time."

When Vai spoke up all this, I got thinking and was about to get back to my room but got stopped as Vai again spoke up, "Arhaan, who is Khushi to you now?"

I uttered casually, "Friend."

Vai spoke up then, "So you are doing all this for your friend? That's just it?"

I wasn't getting what actually vai was referring and uttered likewise, "What do you mean, Vai?"

"Tell me one thing what if Khushi falls for someone else, will you let her go to him?" hearing vai, I uttered immediately, "NO. Why will Khushi"

Vai spoke up in between, "But why won't you! Aren't you two just friends only?"

I uttered in lower tone, "That's true but" only to get stopped finding nothing to say furthermore.

Vai spoke up then, Arhaan, "Khushi isn't your friend only but wife. Give it a thought."

Saying this, vai got up and was about to leave the living room but stopped midway and uttered, "Arhaan, do you know what Khushi hadn't gotten and gone craving all her life?"

When I gave him a confused look, he uttered while looking directly at me, "Love."

When I didn't say anything, he again spoke up again, "Won't it be injustice to her if she won't get it in her new life too?

Arhaan, every relationship needs trust and care. You both have that for each other. And actually there is not much difference between a friend and a lover. It's just a step.

When one of the two friends take that step towards the other, their relationship automatically changes." saying this, vai smiled a little at me and then forwarded towards his room.

And I kept sitting in the living room for a while and started thinking about Khushi.

After thinking for a while, I forwarded towards my room to talk to Khushi. But she just got to sleep before I could say something.

Giving that thought a break, I started working on a laptop but Vai's words kept disturbing me. Then closing the laptop, I lied down on the couch and kept staring at Khushi and started thinking, "Have you really become more than just a friend to me!"
