So apparently, Kabir and Anju had come up with some plan and they refused to tell me about it, the only thing they told me was what I was supposed to when, when to do it and how to do it.

I had no idea what was going on in both their minds, but I believed it would be helpful so I agreed as long as they promised me they weren't going to involve Nina in all this, I dint want her to be hurt at all because of my reasons, she was my friend and I cared about her.

So firstly like they had told me, I ignored Khushi completely at the university, when she came in front of me, I would look everywhere else but at her and walk away immediately, I made sure Nina was me the entire time so incase Khushi tried to talk to me, I could pretend to talk to Nina and continue ignoring her.

They also told me I had to go home a little late than usual, now I dint know why they told me to do that but I just listened to them, it was like two teenagers were dictating what I was supposed to do and I was actually following their orders, I must have really been stupid or just too much in love with Khushi that I was doing such strange things.

At one time she came face to face with me, I felt so weak, I wanted to break my own rules and just talk to her and tell her how much I miss her, but I knew if I did that, the two kids that were trying to help me would kill me.

Staying away from her when I believed she dint love me was easier than staying away from her when I knew she did, why couldn't she accept it?

Khushi! Khushi! Khushi! This girl was literally getting me mad.

Anyway as if things weren't terrible already, Rish on the other hand had now gone from being my best friend to my enemy, and he wouldn't stop taunting me how I had ruined our friendship for a girl whom I was now ignoring.

It was funny that he dint understand why our friendship ended, it wasn't because of Khushi, it was because of his behavior, if he had behaved the way he did with Khushi with any other girl, I would have done the same too, it was about his behavior, it had nothing to do with Khushi.

But well, I had no time of explaining that to him given that I dint want his friendship anymore, I dint want to be friends with a person who wouldn't respect other people and do things like he did, even when I thought about what he did with her, my blood boiled, and it took all in me not to punch him again.

So the entire day at college went like that, at the end of the day I had no idea what to do, because like the kids told me, I had to be home late, so I decided to head to the library and read for a while.

I sat there for like an hour until I got a text from Kabir telling me I should go home now, not knowing what they must have planned, I just did what I was supposed to, I got into my car and drove home.

I parked my car and headed towards the house, but I stopped at the door when I heard Khushi's voice. What was she doing here?

"I guess I should leave now, Arnav must be home anytime soon and we really aren't on talking terms so it would be awkward." I heard Khushi's voice.

"Oh, how I wish you could stay like before, why did you two fight?" Anju asked pretending like she had no idea, this kids I tell you.

"Just something random, anyway I'll see you tomorrow and you both better come to my house, it's just weird being here now." Khushi shrugged.

Now that I was standing outside and Khushi was inside I dint even know what I was supposed to do, at least if Kabir and Anju told me what they were up to, I wouldn't have to wonder.

I just decided to walk in because they wouldn't have told me to come home when Khushi was there unless it involved something else.

I opened the door and walked in and they all looked at me, surprisingly there was some other girl there too, I hadn't met her before and she dint look like Anju and Kabir's age either so I dint think she was their friend either, maybe she came with Khushi.

Before I could say anything though, the girl walked towards me with a huge smile plastered on her face as she greeted me with a hug.

"Hey Arnav, I've been waiting for you for a while now." She said as she broke the hug and looked at me.

Why was a girl that I dint know waiting for me?

What the hell was going on?

What was I supposed to say?

Why was Khushi looking at me like that?

Jeez, could someone please answer my questions? Kabir just winked at me and I got the idea that he must have had something to do with this so I tried to play along even though this was the first time I was meeting this girl, I acted like I knew her.

"Sorry, I was reading in the library, preparing for exams." I said.

"So are we still on for the date? Or are you tired? If you want to rest I don't mind, we can do it some other time?" She asked.

I looked at Kabir and Anju in shock, since when did I have a date with this girl? What the hell did this kids do? The both of them were trying to hide their laughter so Khushi couldn't notice, and I was standing there in shock not knowing what I was supposed to say.

"Say yes." Kabir whispered at me in a manner that Khushi wouldn't hear.

"Umm, give me a few minutes, I'll freshen up then we can go." I faked a smile. Once Khushi left, I was going to beat this kids up, how dare they set me up on a random date without even asking me?

Now what was I supposed to say to Khushi who looked at me like she wanted to kill me.

"Okay hurry up, I'm so excited for it already." The stranger girl said as she jumped on me and hugged me again.

I dint like this at all, why was she touching me so much?

I just nodded as I headed straight to my room while I heard Khushi telling the kids that she needs to leave and then she actually left.

I peeped through the window of my room just to make sure she was really gone before I busted out of my room and screamed at my little sister and her boyfriend who had ruined everything for me.

Why did I even listen to them?

"What the hell was that?" I asked as I stopped in front of them.

"And who is she? And why do I have a date with a girl that I don't know? And why was she hugging me like that in front of Khushi, what would Khushi think of me?" I asked.

"See, I told you that's how he would react." Anju said to Kabir.

"Relax bro, this was our plan, you don't have a real date with her, we just faked it to make Khushi jealous." Kabir said.

"You faked it with a girl that I dint even know? You think she's going to believe it? Who is she anyway and where did you find her?" I asked as I looked at the girl curiously.

"She is Nisha, she stays in my neighborhood, I happened to tell her your sad story and she agreed to help." Kabir smirked.

"Why would you agree to help someone you don't even know?" I looked at the girl in surprise.

"Because it's about love, I can do anything for people in love." She smiled, I looked at Kabir in confusion.

"Nisha believes a lot in love, the effect of romantic Hindi movies and novels." Kabir giggled.

"And don't worry, we told Khushi that you met her when you had gone shopping and Kabir happened to be there with her because they are neighbors and they decided to shop together, so Nisha liked you and you started talking and then she asked you if you could go on a date and you agreed and that's why she was here.

We figured if we told her that you were the one that asked for a date it wouldn't be believable as you are so much in love with her, but this way we could show her that you were trying to move on from her." Anju smirked.

"God! Now she's going to hate me. this plan of yours is stupid, I don't think it will work, she would think I found someone else and leave me." I pouted.

"Stop being a kid bro, we are the kids." Anju said.

"She isn't going to leave you, she's going to realize how much you mean to her, and how she cant see you with any other girl and maybe that might make her realize that she's been wrong with avoiding you and she might even finally confess her feelings to you." Kabir explained.

"But I don't want to hurt her." I said.

"Oh God!" The three of them slapped their hands on their foreheads as if they couldn't do a thing about me.
