Chapter 9

Khushi lifted her face from her hands and wondered what to do next. Sorrow filled her heart as she remembered how she noticed the indifference in Arnav Sir's face just few hours ago. What would she do now? He had the only person she was talking in the college and now he also acting different..

Did he know about her?About her past....

How cheerful and talkative he was in the outing !!

She felt like she just lost an extremely important person in her life.... Tears filled her eyes as she thought back to their moments...

Anyway, there was no surprise to see all these indifference in her life,she faced many similar situations in the past 14 years in her school and convent life.

But she didn't feel anything at that time,because she know it's her fate written on her life.
Now with Arnav it felt different..She can feel that in her heart..

She just needed to talk to him ,she consoled herself. Still, she couldn't help but be intrigued by this new feeling that steering in her mind and heart.

Never before in the last few months of her time in this new place had any other person stirred up in her life like Arnav Sir did..

Determination filled her like never before and she blinked away her tears. She sat up straight in her bed and started to pack up her bag for the stay at his place.Her lips curved with a small smile at the thought of spending her time with him and that too in his home.....

Arnav sat down on his chair and leaned back to rest his throbbing head against the comfortable headrest.

"Damn the headache......." He mumbled. He ran his hand across his hair.He was totally upset at today's event at college.His conversation with Rahul about Khushi..

Ever since he had seen Khushi, he hadn't been able to keep down this sense of.. what shall he name it.. excitement or something else?

He had never wasted his time ,when it came to women, but this particular girl.. Khushi..

Since she came in his life, for once, he dreaded the weekends a little and willed for the work week to start. So that he can see her in the college.The cherry on cake when she agree for a weekend trip with him.He had enjoyed every bit of their time together in the trip. He was living in the hangover until that Rahul came and throw some fire in his heart.

On top of that, there's this mess in his company. He looked around at his messy desk with some files laid around. Just as he was about to lift his fingers to massage his temple, his phone rang.

Now what?

"Yes......" He almost barked into the phone not noticing the caller id.

"Hmmm...Nani...I didn't forget that...I will bring her...ok .."

He almost forget in all this mess that his Nani asked him to bring Khushi to their home.
A smile crept on his tired yet handsome face when the thought about her stay at his place...

He stared at the wall infront of him. Momentarily, he felt bad for showing his indifference at Khushi just like that. He was taking out his disappointment with Rahul on that poor girl.He was very restless and did what he thought at the moment.

He felt bad thinking about that...His eyes widened a little as he realized what he had done at the college. What must she be thinking? Shaking his head out of her thoughts, he got back into working mode.He had a lot works to do...

Soon, it was nearing to 7.00 pm. He was satisfied with the work he had done and with how he had made through most of the evening with almost full concentration.
