I sat beside Zion for a while giving him time to recover, obviously he had been kidnapped and it was quite terrifying for him, I dint want to make it worse by asking him questions.

I just held his hand tightly trying to let him know that I was always going to be there for him no matter what.

"I made a mistake Khushi." Zion looked at me sadly.

"It's okay Zion, we all do."

"I... I don't know how I wasn't able to see it, the amount of love she had for me. I always knew she had a brother but I hadn't met him so I dint even know it was Arnav until he kidnapped me and then told me why he had kidnapped me." Zion said.

"What exactly happened Zion?" I looked at him curiously.

"I met his sister some time back, you know I've never been the person to take relationships very seriously, I feel ashamed saying this but it was all just a game for me.

I mean I met her, she was gorgeous, I liked her that was it, and it was difficult to convince her for anything so I had to date her to get her close, but let's just say that she wasn't the only one I was dating.

I was just having fun, dating random girls playing around with them and then end it, that's what I did with her too, I stayed for a while, got what I wanted and then dumped her, I thought just like every other girl, she would get over me in a few days, but it dint go that way." Zion explained.

"What?" I looked at him in shock as I stood up, how did I never see this side of my best friend? Did I even really know him? All the time I had known him, he was playing with the feelings of so many girls and calling it fun?

"I know it was wrong Khushi, I did realize my mistake, I know it's terrible, what I did was terrible, why do you think I dint tell you about it, because I am ashamed of myself for the things I have done." Zion explained.

"You should be, this stupid game of yours caused Arnav's sister her life Zion, I don't blame Arnav for wanting to kill you, right now I want to kill you too." I looked at him in disgust, how could he do this?

"I am sorry Khushi, I dint know she would get that serious, I was just stupid, I wasn't thinking straight, but I do regret it, so much, please believe me. I know I did wrong things, I just dint know they were wrong at that time." He explained.

"I don't know what to say right now Zion, I just feel hurt because my boyfriend broke my trust and my best friend caused someone's death, where am I supposed to go? Whom am I supposed to trust? I was friends with you because I thought you were such a good person, I made an exception for you Zion, you were the only guy friend I had... now I can't even imagine why you were friends with me. Was it to play those exact games with me too?" I looked at him in disbelief.

"No! I dint want to play any games with you Khushi, I liked you genuinely, I mean not that way, but I just liked how you were as a person and that's why I am friends with you, that was the only reason, I never thought of playing any games with you."

"Doesn't change the fact that you hurt Arnav's sister."

"And I am sorry for it Khushi, if I could go back and change things I would."

"Well breaking news Zion, your sorry isn't going to bring her back! Why do people think that it's okay to play with someone's feelings for fun? Playing some freaking online game or download one in your phone, why play with someone's feelings?" I looked at him angrily, right now I wanted to punch him on the face for being so stupid.

"I am sorry Khushi, I accept I made a mistake." He looked at me sadly.

"You know what, I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to talk to anyone, I just need to be alone so I can think things through." I said as I walked out of his room and headed to mine.I could understand why Arnav did what he did, maybe if I was at his place I could do it too, but I couldn't understand why he would use me for it, why he would come stay in my house then kidnap my best friend.

Why were all the guys in my life like this?

*****

I was overclouded with lots of thoughts, I spent the entire day in my room just thinking and overthinking things, although my overthinking session was disturbed at night when mom realized I had been in my room all day so she came to pay me a visit.

"Khushi, are you okay?" She asked as she sat down beside me, I just nodded silently, I dint know what to tell her, that I was surrounded by some idiot guys who were driving me crazy or what.

"You know you can tell me anything, I am your mom and your best friend too, no one will give you better advice than I would." She smiled.

"I have a question actually." I said as I turned to face her.

"Ask right away."

"When you met dad, how did you know he was the one? I mean you've been married to him for so many years now and you are happy, what made you sure that he was the one, how did you know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with him?" I asked.

"Well the answer depends on the person asking. See everyone has been brought up differently, everyone wants different things and although we don't always get what we expect, we have to be sure to allow the things we deserve in our life.

Your father was nothing like I expected, he wasn't the guy I had dreamt of he wasn't the prince charming but you know what, when I fell in love with him, none of it mattered, what mattered was how he treated me, how much he trusted me, how he respected me and all those little things you know and it has to come from both sides, not just one. So you trust him and he trusts you and that's enough I think.

So I just kind of knew it, you get the hint, like if it's meant to be it will happen, and if not, you'll get a sign sooner or later, but you don't have to worry much, Arnav looks like the one for you." She smiled at me making me blush, this was one of the rarest time I must have blushed because my mom was teasing me.

"Okay now get some sleep." She smiled at me, she stood up and left and I also headed to bed deciding I'll solve my issues with Arnav the next morning.

*****

I arrived at the university early in the morning so I could finish writing some notes I had been lazy to write, the classroom was entirely empty and peaceful just how I liked it.

I settled down and started doing my work until I was disturbed by Stefan after almost half an hour, he was the second one to arrive in class after me.

"Good morning, I see someone is early." He smiled as he walked towards me and sat beside me."I had some notes to finish and why are you early?"

"I am usually early to class unless otherwise, anyway I hope you and Arnav sorted out the matter. Look he's not a bad guy, he had his reasons to do things." Stefan started explaining.

"Calm down Stefan, I haven't talked to him since he left yesterday, but I will talk to him today and solve whatever the issues between us." I smiled at him.

"Good." He smiled back then pulled out a book and started reading while I continued writing my notes.

Soon the class was full, everyone had arrived except for Arnav, now he dint even have to go out of town to find Zion, he was right here so where was Arnav today?

"Is he going to come today or did he go somewhere?" I asked Stefan.

"No, he was around, I'm sure he must have come, he might be in another class, you should go find him." Stefan suggested, I nodded as I stood up and headed outside to find Arnav before the class began.

I looked for him everywhere and finally decided to check the parking lot and see if his car was there, when I reached there, I found him standing in the parking lot leaning against his car.

There were two other girls with him and they seemed to be discussing something really serious, but once he saw me, he dispersed them and walked towards me.

"Who were they?" I asked immediately.

"Wow, do I smell jealousy." He smirked at me.

"I am not jealous, I was just asking. Who knows I would suddenly find you kissing some girl." I joked.

"You know I won't ever do that, the last time it happened, we weren't together, but now we are so I can't do anything like that trust me." He looked at me very seriously, I felt happy about it, about how serious he was with this relationship.

"I know, I was just kidding relax Arnav."

"I know... anyway so are you still angry about yesterday? I'm sorry Khushi, I dint want to do it, I just..."

"Don't explain Arnav, I don't think anything would change what I felt about it and it's too much of drama anyway. I just want one day without any drama at all." I sighed.

"I'll give you that day then. Tomorrow we're not coming to the university, I'll take you somewhere." He smiled.

"I am not skipping university for your stupid ideas." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh yes you are." He smirked, I wondered what he was planning for today, but I guess I was ready to spend a day with him alone, maybe it would give our relationship some fresh air seeing there had been a lot of tension lately.
