I stood in front of the mirror nervously, I was dressed in the usual, a black jean and a black top, it was hot so I dint have my leather jacket today. My hair was still curled from yesterday, I threw on my black boots and sighed.

A part of me couldn't believe all that happened in my life so far, I mean one day Arnav walked into my life out of nowhere being a jerk that I wasn't supposed to give a damn about but I ended up falling for him and now I was going to see him for the last time.

I dint even know if I was ever going to see him or the other boys again and that kind of hurt a bit. Since the four of them came into my life, it had taken a drastic turn, I had become a person who I dint know I was, I had changed, a lot had changed and now it was going to change once again.

"Ready?" Kitty asked as she walked into my room looking a bit sad.

"We're going to a party, why are you sad?" I asked.

"Farewell party. I mean breaking up with Damon is one thing, knowing I wouldn't get to see him ever again is another thing." She sighed.

"You know you dint have to do it, not for me if that's what you did. I'm okay with you being with him if that's what makes you happy Kitty."

"I know, but that's not the reason. I don't want a man who treats women like objects in my life Khushi, so It might hurt but it's the right decision."

"What happened to the happy us." I tried to smile as I walked towards her and hugged her.

"The bad boys ruined us." She giggled.

"Where are Bonnie and Caroline?"

"They said they'll meet us at the party, we should get going and get done with this heartbreak for once and for all." Kitty said, I nodded as I grabbed my car keys and the both of us headed outside.

Mom and dad had a dinner date today so only Ayush was home, I dint want to leave him alone so I had told Zion to come over and watch on him, currently the both of them were watching television in the hall.

"Don't be naughty Ayush and don't disturb Zion a lot okay?" I said, he nodded and immediately looked back at the TV, I waved Zion a goodbye, he waved back as Kitty and I left.

*****

I parked my car outside the mansion, from the parking lot I could hear loud music and people screaming like crazy. Kitty and I walked in trying to find the boys but we couldn't find any of them so we settled down in the kitchen as we got ourselves something to drink.

Within no time, Caroline and bonnie too joined us because they couldn't find the boys either, the farewell party was organized by them for themselves and now they were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the guys?" Caroline asked.

"No idea, we dint find them either." Kitty replied.

"Let's chill here until they show up then." Caroline jumped on the counter and sat on it while bonnie stood beside her looking sad.

"Everything okay?" I asked noticing her expressions.

"Yeah, I just can't believe Karthik is leaving, it kind of makes me sad." She looked at me sadly.

"So what's going to happen to your relationship?" Kitty asked.

"I don't know, we've decided to try to work the long distance thing, he said he would video call me daily, he would also try to come here and visit me as much as he can but it's scary." She tried to giggle but she couldn't, this was really making her sad.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you both would work it out just fine."

"I hope so." She said nervously.

"Hello ladies, can I steal my girlfriend for a moment?" Karthik said as he came into the kitchen suddenly.

"Sure, she's all yours." Caroline laughed as Karthik grabbed Bonnie's hand and puller her away.

"I'll go dance, anyone want to join?" Caroline asked as she jumped down.

"I'll join. Khushi do you want to come along?" Kitty asked.

"No, you guys have fun, I'll just walk around." I smiled, the both of them nodded as they headed out to join the rest of the people that were drunk and dancing on the crazy music while I decided to take a walk around the place.

I got bored inside in a while and the loud music was already giving me a headache so I decided to head outside, there were less people out there and the music was that loud.

I picked a spot and sat down watching everyone enjoying the party.

"You came?" I heard a voice and turned around immediately just to find Arnav standing behind me looking surprised.

"Yeah, Stefan invited me, I figured I'd at least say a last goodbye." I sighed.

"I'm glad you came, can I sit here if you don't mind?" He asked.

"Sure." I said as I tapped on the empty space beside me, he smiled happily and sat down beside me and smiled at me and then sat there silently.

It was kind of awkward, neither of us had anything to really say.

"So where are you going?" I asked.

"Just back home for now, we'll decide later on about where else to go." He sighed.

"Oh okay, so the four of you are planning to go wherever it is together or at one point you'll go separate?"

"We made a promise to stay together always so I guess we'll sit down and come to a conclusion were the four of us agree to go and go together."

"That's good." I smiled as I looked away, seriously I dint know what to say.

"Now that I'm leaving, can I ask you for one thing Khushi?" He looked at me seriously.

"As long as it's something I can give, sure." I nodded.

"Can you please forgive me? And my forgive me I don't mean get back together with me, I've learnt my lesson here and I know whatever that's happening is for the best, but I can't live knowing that somewhere deep inside you still hold a grudge against me, it just kind of hurts.

So I want you to forgive me, for everything I did because I really am sorry Khushi. Please forgive me, as a goodbye gift?" He looked at me hopefully.

Looking into his beautiful eyes was so painful, because being here was just making me feel more and more hurt knowing that I was never going to be able to sit with him, talk to him, listen to his voice or even look into his eyes and that thing hurt so badly I couldn't even explain.

I looked at him silently for a moment and then inhaled a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay."

"Okay as in you forgive me?"

"Yes Arnav, I forgive you for everything. We are two adults who have decided to start a new life and we can't do it if we keep holding grudges, so yes I guess I forgive you, I can't hold a grudge against you forever anyway so you are forgiven for everything." I smiled.

"Thank you Khushi, thank you so much, you've done me a big favor." He smiled, I nodded as I looked away from him, I wished this party would be over soon, because being here was literally breaking my heart.

When Stefan invited me, I told him I'd come here for him and Karthik, that was the half truth, I came here for Arnav too, even though I knew I'd never get back with him, a part of me just wanted to see him, for one last time, because no matter what, a jerk or not, he was the only guy that I ever fell in love with and maybe that was why I even forgave him, even though it was really difficult.

We both were going to live our lives separate so there was no point of me holding any grudge against him.

"Where's Stefan? I've been trying to find him?" I asked.

"He was packing in his room, he would come out soon." Arnav said and just then we actually saw Stefan walking out of the mansion.

"I'll go bid him a goodbye." I said as I stood up and so did Arnav.

"It was nice meeting you Arnav." I said as I held out my hand for a handshake.

"Now that you've forgiven me, can I at least get a goodbye hug instead of a formal handshake? Please." He looked at me hopefully, I wish I could say no, because I know hugging him would hurt me, but I sort of wanted a last memory to cherish too so I just nodded and as soon as I did, he immediately wrapped his arms around me and held me into a tight hug.

We stayed like that for a moment, I swear this was the best place to be, in his arms, it just hurt knowing that it was the last time I was going to be here.

"I'll really miss you Khushi, I wish I hadn't messed up things." He said, I dint have anything to say so I just remained silent.

"Goodbye Khushi." He said as he finally broke the hug, turned around and walked away immediately without looking at me, damn it, this was so heartbreaking, my eyes welled up and tears rolled out as I saw him walking away knowing that it was the last time I was seeing him.

"Khushi!" I heard Stefan call me out. I quickly wiped off my tears, tried to look okay and then turned as I walked towards him with a big pretentious smile on my face.

"Where have you been, I was looking for you. You invited me here and you were nowhere to be seen." I said.

"Sorry I was just packing and now here I am, let's go dance a bit and have some fun. I'm leaving but I would stay in touch." He smiled.

"You better." I said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me with him inside, we headed on the dance floor and started dancing, I couldn't really dance much because the only thought I had in my mind was that they were leaving and it was just so heartbreaking.
