Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Meanwhile, after realising that Khushi and Christian both were staring Abeer in shocked for a long time, then only made Abeer realised what he said just a few moments ago. He felt really awkward facing both of them so left the place without turning back.

"So that's the reason you hide this from me?", Christian asked to Khushi after Abeer left the place.

"No.. Hell no.. You are getting everything in a wrong way Christian. Let me tell you from the starting.", Khushi tried to explain Christian everything from the starting that how she helped him after that life threatening accident from the hospital to her house.

" Oh! I see.. But you should tell me, No? I also helped you meanwhile in this situation. You suffered all alone when you have me beside you. Or Should I think that now you don't want our friendship anymore as you got a new friend now.", Christian stated with sadness visible in his eyes.

" Oh my god! How terrible acting skills you got! I must say. But don't worry. I have no intentions of replacing you in my life with someone else. It's just that I don't want to get you in any kind of trouble so I did not inform about this to you earlier. But Now I promise whenever I need any help the first person is always going to be you who comes in my mind and I would immediately call you to tell about it. Now okay or are you mad till now? ", Khushi asked with a mischievous smile on her face.

"As you say so now that's okay for me, Good girl. Now you go and I will come in few minutes after getting fresh up myself.", Christian replied smilingly.

And Khushi left him alone in the bedroom and came outside to reheat the breakfast for both of them.

Abeer was sitting in the balcony staring the sky for God knows how long! He was completely lost in his own chain of thoughts when someone disturbed his thinking to set his attention on her.

"What have you been thinking for so long that you did not even realise that I was sitting beside you from quite a few minutes ago?", Khushi asked Abeer with her shinning hazel eyes.

"Umm... Nothing actually I wanna say sorry for everything. I did not know what happened to me that led me said these silly things inside. I made you felt embarrassed in front of your friend but trust me I did not do anything intentionally.", Abeer apologised genuinely without making any eye contact with Khushi.

" But you don't need to say sorry or feel guilty for anything Mr. Stranger. Trust me and look here. Your eyes has some kind of magic that's why I like to look at them without blinking mine", Khushi said making an eye contact with Abeer.

She knew that Abeer's mental health and physical health both need sometimes to heal up properly and she did not want to make him feel bad for anything that would let him take any type of stress or anxiety indirectly affecting his health.

"Really?", Abeer asked back in surprised. But this time looking in her eyes straight away.

They both were so drawn in each other's eyes that they did not realise Christian was looking at them with confusion visible on his face.

"Ahhmm... Ahmmm..", Christian faked a cough to get back attention towards him, making both of them realise his presence.

And his trick worked and they bot started looking here and there but each other.

"Oh! Christian you got ready? Now let's come we will have our breakfast.", Khushi said, moving inside the house.

"Why don't you join us buddy?", Christian asked Abeer, who was sitting quietly there.

"No thanks dude.. But I have had already done my breakfast. You go and have yours and yes I am really sorry for my behaviour today.", Abeer apologised to Christian.

"I already forgave you, long time ago so don't be sorry now. I know you are having a tough time dude, first that life threatening accident, then your memory loss. Anyone who would be at your place would behave like this so don't feel guilty.", Christian replied with a genuine smile on his face.

"Thanks for understanding, Buddy. Khushi is really lucky to have you as her friend.", Abeer stated to Christian.

"Why only Khushi? Why don't you also become lucky?", Christian asked with a mischievous smile.

"Sorry, I did not get you. What do you mean?", Abeer asked with confused expressions.

"I mean will you become my friend? So that along with khushi, you will also become lucky too.", Christian asked being amused.

"I would love to become your friend and also lucky too.", Abeer laughed and shakes his hand with Christian.

With joining hands they both started smiling like they knew each other for ages.
