Part 19
Arnav and Ahaan joined us at the dinner table a while later, they all were discussing random stuff while I sat there lost in thoughts, my mind was yet stuck in the conversation that I had overheard between Ahaan and Arnav.
I kept on wondering what might have happened in the past, what made Arnav this way, why was he a bad boy when he belonged to such a rich and good family, what pushed him to that?My mind was just flooded with lots of questions that I was just lost in my own world I wasn't even eating.
I felt a hand on mine and I looked beside me, Arnav was looking at me with concern.
"Are you okay Love?" He asked as he looked at me worriedly.
"Love! Aww that's so cute, I wish I had a boyfriend who called me that." Krystle said as she made an adorable face and stared at the both of us.
"I hope you're comfortable Khushi." Arnav's mom said as she looked at me with the same concern as Arnav, literally this family was the best they were concerned about me like they knew me for ages.
"Yeah, I am fine I was just thinking about something." I smiled at them.
"Are you worried about your mom? I can give her a call and inform her that you're here with me." Arnav said.
"No, it's not that... I'm okay don't worry, I really am." I faked at smile at him, he nodded positively and then looked at my plate, I hadn't even eaten half of it, he picked up the spoon from my plate and started feeding me like a baby.
"Eat." He ordered and I obliged, seriously I dint know what to do or how to react at this moment, the Arnav I had met today wasn't the Arnav I met daily at school and it felt like I was with a complete different person.
I looked at the mom and dad and they both were staring at the both of us so happily, for a moment I felt bad for doing this, Arnav and I were literally lying to them about being together when we weren't, and they were happy, they even liked me.
"I hope you like the food." His mom asked.
"Yeah, it's yummy... I love it." I smiled at her as I took the spoon from Arnav and started eating, honestly I was in love with this family, they were just the perfect kind of family.
After we all finished dinner, the servants came and cleaned the table, everyone stood up as they headed to the living room, Arnav got hold of my hand and pulled me along, we settled down there for a while talking about school and everything.
"It's late Arnav, I think you should drop Khushi home, I'll tell the driver to drive." His mom said as she stood up.
"You can go to your room for a while if you want to bid her goodbye." His dad winked at him."Oh come on dad." Arnav said.
"Khushi, you should now be coming here more often, if Arnav doesn't bring you, come by yourself, this is your home too okay?" His mom said.
"Sure." I nodded positively knowing in my mind that this was my first and last visit here, and I was surely going to miss this whole family.
"Okay enough of the melodrama, let me say goodbye to my girlfriend." Arnav said as he got hold of my hand and pulled me away while everyone giggled.
He took me upstairs to his room and I wondered why we were even going there, I mean I wasn't his real girlfriend, there was nothing we were going to do in his room.
"Just wait here." He said to me when we walked inside the room, I stood beside the bed and she opened his wardrobe and shuffled through his clothes and then he pulled out a dress surprising me.
I wondered why he even had a dress in his wardrobe, what was he doing keeping dresses randomly in his wardrobe?
"I had bought this for you yesterday, remember when I came to your place for dinner but then I thought it wasn't the right time to give it to you but right now it is, please don't refuse, accept it as a thank you from me for doing this for me." He smiled as he handed it to me.
It was a pretty sky blue skater dress, he walked away once again and came back with a small bag, he placed the dress inside it and then handed it back to me.
"I dint know the bad boy could also buy a dress for someone." I giggled.
"I had gone for shopping for myself but then I saw this dress on the display and I figured it would look perfect on you plus I know you like wearing dresses, I've mostly seen you in dresses so I bought it, simple."
"I see." I smiled.
"Now we are good to go, come I'll drop you home." He smiled at me.
"But I came with my car, remember?" I said as he pulled me out of the room.
"No worried, you can give the keys to the other driver, he'll follow us with it, I have to make sure you reach home safely." He said, I nodded in agreement.
A lot had happened today that even my behavior towards Arnav had changed, surely if I hadn't seen a different side of Arnav today, I don't think I would have ever accepted the dress he gave me or even allowed him to drop me home in another car when I had my own.
"That was pretty fast, I thought you were going to take forever to romance." Krystle giggled when we both headed downstairs.
"Oh shut up, you're talking more than your age." Arnav said.
"You know I'm so glad you came into his life, he might not say it but I know you're the best thing to have ever happened to him, I can see how much he loves you and cares for you." His mom said as she looked at me emotionally, she walked towards me and pulled me into a hug.
I saw Krystle eying me after her mom broke the hug, she walked towards me suddenly and pulled the bag from me as she looked into it, she pulled out the dress and looked at it in awe.
"OMG, This is so cute, I dint know Arnav knew how to buy gifts, why haven't you ever gifted me such dresses?" Krystle pouted.
"Because you're not my girlfriend, now give it back, it would look good on Khushi not you." Arnav said as he took it from her and handed it back to me while I just smiled, they were the typical kind of siblings, the ones who loves each other more than anything but still fought like crazy.
"Arnav you should leave and get back home before it's late, and Khushi dear, it was a pleasure meeting you." His dad said as he looked at the both of us with a smile.
"Sure." Arnav nodded as he got hold of my hand, I bid everyone goodbye except for Ahaan who wasn't even there, maybe he was just in his room avoiding us.
*****
The driver parked the car outside my house while the other one that was driving my tiny beetle parked it in the usual spot where I usually parked it.
Arnav and I stepped out and he was still holding my hand, he hadn't left it since the moment he had got hold of it when we were leaving from his house.
"So this is it, I'll get what I wanted, and you'll get what you wanted." He said.
I looked at him in confusion, I had almost forgotten about the condition I had put for helping him until he reminded me of it.
"From tomorrow onwards this bad boy wouldn't disturb you and I'll try my best not to show you my face." He said.
"So the deal is over now." I sighed.
"Yes it is, but it was nice meeting you Khushi, you'll be a memory that I'll cherish forever." He winked at me in a flirty way and all I could think about was how beautiful my name sounded when he was the one who said it.
"And here comes the flirty bad boy again." I slapped on his arms as he laughed.
"So, it's a goodbye then." He said as he took a step backward hesitantly while I stood there staring at him.
"It's a good bye." I nodded as I turned around to unlock the door, I shuffled through all the keys I had looking for the right one when I felt a hand on my waist, I turned around and it was obviously Arnav, he was so close to me, he was making me nervous.
He moved closer to me while I inhaled deep breaths, I was feeling so nervous suddenly, he brushed his cheeks against mine and then pecked on it, that gave me the best adrenaline rush ever!
I was feeling all sorts of butterflies in my stomach, this was the most beautiful feeling I had ever felt in my entire lifetime!
He turned around and walked away without saying anything or even looking back, he sat inside the car as I turned around and finally unlocked the door, the moment I walked inside the house, the car left.
I headed upstairs to my room, mom hadn't arrived from work yet, it looked like she was working late today.
I put the bag aside and lied on the bed, I was tired maybe not physically but emotionally. I wondered how tomorrow was going to be a different day, me and Arnav were going to be strangers, not that we were friends but still, it just kind of felt weird.
I wondered what he was going to tell his family if they ever asked about me and why I wasn't visiting them, I wondered how they were going to react if Arnav told them we had broken up.
I brushed off all the thoughts from my mind, I wondered why I was suddenly overthinking everything when I was the one who wanted this, dint I want Arnav to stay away from me and stop disturbing me? Then now that it was happening, why was I even overthinking it?
I pulled my blanket and covered myself and I headed off to sleep, no more thinking about the bad boy.
