Kushi walked into the campus looking for her brother.

She took her phone and dialed Vansh's number. He picked upon the third ring.

"Yes Kush. I will be out in five minutes. Neha looked so depressed. Let me go and talk to her once" Vansh said

"What happened to her? I will also come" Kushi said

"Okay then. Come to the same cafeteria" Vansh said and hung up the call

Kushi hurried toward the cafeteria and just when she was about to enter, she collided with someone. Before she could touch the ground, an arm snaked around her waist and pulled her close.

She opened her eyes and saw that she was in the arms of none other than her arch nemesis, Zahir Singh Oberoi!

"Aww. Wanted to be in my arms? How sweet?" Zahir asked, with a playful smirk on his face

"Dream on badboy" Kushi said, with a scoff

"Ah! Why would I waste my dreams on you, sweetheart, when there are so many gorgeous ladies flocking around me?" Zahir asked arrogantly

"Yeah, flocking around you to beat you to pulp probably" Kushi countered furiously

"Oh my! Is that jealousy I detect in your voice?" Zahir asked

"Jealous? Me? Over you? Hell will freeze over first" Kushi said with a scoff

"Ofcourse. You are the devil. You decide what happens in the hell" Zahir said

"Are you guys done romancing?" Zian asked, folding his arms across his chest, and looking at the duo with a raised eyebrow

"Romance? With this devil?" Zahir asked with a scoff

"No way" Kushi said

"If you guys haven't realised it yet, you guys are hugging each other. If some one looks from afar, it seems like a passionate embrace" Zian pointed out

Zahir and Kushi looked at each other and realised the Zahir still had his arms wrapped around her waist, and her right hand was resting over his chest.

They quickly pulled away from each other and shot a glare at the other.

"What? No comment like 'it's not what it looks like' huh?" Zian asked teasingly

"I am not that cliche" Kushi said with a scoff

"Well, if you ask me, it's quite cliche. She was waiting outside for me. As soon as she spotted me, she dashed into me" Zahir said arrogantly

"Excuse me. I came here searching for my brother" Kushi said furiously

"Aww. Came to pick up your brother? You are being an obstacle to his masculinity, Kushi Trivedi" Zahir said

"It's such a shame that you believe masculinity lies in driving sports bikes and looking cool" Kushi scoffed

"Don't start again" Zian begged

"Where is Vansh and Neha? Did you see them? Vansh said Neha looked depressed. Did you do something to her?" Kushi asked Zian in a threatening tone.

"It's nothing serious. She is upset over the same old" Zian said, rolling his eyes fondly

"Pihu?" Kushi asked with a chuckle

"The one and only" Zian said with a grin

"This girl" Kushi shook her head in disbelief

"How did it start? Why is she so bothered by Pihu?" Zian asked

"There is no particular reason for it, Zian. Neha is incredibly possessive over her parents. She is an only child after all. When suddenly Pihu came into the picture, she started getting insecure. Adding to that, Poonam maasi became a little strict when Neha grew up, Neha started believing it is because her mother started loving her less because of Pihu's arrival. Mind you, both the incidents have no conection to each other" Kushi said

Zian frowned

"It sounds serious, Kushi. Her insecurities. Maybe someone should sit and talk to her about this properly" Zian said

"I never thought it that way" Kushi said

Zada hurried to them

"Where is Amar?" She asked anxiously

Both her brothers frowned

"Why are you looking for him?" Zahir asked, frowning

"Uh! He's always with you. That's why I asked" Zada said, chuckling nervously

Zahir frowned in suspicion

"Who do you look anxious then?" Zahir

"I was anxious about something else" Zada said, looking at Kushi for help

"Oh come on! Stop with your interrogation" Kushi said rolling her eyes

"You stay out of this. This is between me and my sister" Zahir snapped

"Zahir. Calm down. I was anxious thinking about Neha. And when I saw you two without him, I just asked" Zada said, coming up with a quick excuse

"Oh. Don't worry, Neha must be fine" Zahir said with a smile

"I will just go get her" Zada said and walked away from there.

Amar took another gulp from the beer bottle and looked ahead.

He was sitting on the cliff top, his escape site.

He felt someone sitting next to him. He looked beside him and saw Rohan.

"What do you want?" Amar asked

"Pick up your phone, will you? That girl is so worried" Rohan said

"How do you know that?" Amar asked

"She called me. She asked me if I knew where you were. I told her no. I had an idea you would be here, but I didn't tell her" Rohan said

"Leave it. I don't want to talk about her" Amar said

"Stop being foolish. Call her and talk it out" Rohan said

"You don't know what the issue is" Amar said with a scoff

"She told me. She was crying, Amar. Talk to her" Rohan said

"She doesn't trust me. What's the point of this relationship, if there is no trust" Amar complained

"Amar. You have a bad reputation. A very bad one. And by the nature of her brothers, she might not have had a relationship before. She must be insecure. We can't fault her for that. She is an innocent girl and you had played the field for years. You have to make her feel secure in your relationship" Rohan said

"I have never done anything to make her feel so. Ever since I met her the first time, it has only been her. No one else after that" Amar said

"Mistakes happen, Amar. She might have gotten insecure for a moment, seeing Heera. You had an association with Heera once. Maybe she got jealous." Rohan said

"I not going to apologise for no fault of mine" Amar said

"Don't. Just listen to her apology. Don't let your ego ruin your beautiful relationship" Rohan said

"Fine. I will talk to her. But not tonight. Let her realise that she hurt me very badly. I will talk to her in a few days" Amar said

"Don't let it be too late" Rohan warned
