"Why are you here?" He looked at me angrily and then turned around and headed back inside his room as if I had come here willingly, hell no!

"What's with the grumpiness? For your kind information, I dint come here on my own, Krystle came at my place and dragged me here because apparently her bad boy brother was throwing tantrums like a baby." I followed him inside, he turned to look at me angrily as if he would punch me right away and for a moment I was scared, I was scared since the moment I witnessed the fight between him in Ryle.

"You weren't opening the door, and she was so sure you wouldn't listen to any of them but me, and it turned out to be true, so tell me why Arnav?" I looked at him curiously.

"What why?"

"Why weren't you opening the door for them, why did you open it for me? I still remember what you had told me, I wasn't that important that for me you wouldn't kill Ryle, so why dint you kill him when you were so sure you would?" I folded my arms and looked at him seriously.

"Stop asking me stupid questions, you were the one who wanted us to be strangers dint you, so I'm doing that so stop showing me your face and leave!" He turned around angrily.

"I am not leaving this place without answers Arnav, what is it that has you and Ryle wanting to kill each other?" I shouted at him angrily.

"Do you really want to know Khushi? Do you want me to give you a reason to hate your so called friend?" Arnav asked as he looked at me.

"I don't care what it makes me feel towards either of you, I just want to know." I said, he looked at me for a moment and I stared back at him trying to maintain the seriousness on my face so that for once, he would at least take me seriously.

He turned away from me and walked out of his room but before he did that, I noticed his moist eyes and it made me wonder, what could it be that made the bad boy feel so hurt?

"You can't ignore me like that Arnav" I said as I ran behind him, he stopped at the staircase and got hold of me as he pushed me towards the nearest wall and looked me into the eyes with his bloodshot eyes.

I was so scared that I was literally shivering at that moment, and I guess he noticed that because the next moment he moved behind letting me go as his eyes slowly turned back to normal, he looked defeated, he looked like he was holding himself back from crying.

We stood there for another few minutes staring at each other silently trying to understand the unsaid words, he walked back towards me slowly as he got hold of my hand and pulled me along with him, we headed downstairs where his mom and Krystle and Ashi were standing, they all looked at us in confusion.

"Arnav!" his mom called him out but he just ignored her and headed outside pulling me along, he unlocked one of the cars that was in the parking lot and threw the keys at me, I sat inside as he sat beside me and told me to drive.

I obeyed him as I continued following the direction he gave me, I kept on driving for over half an hour until we arrived at another mansion, we stopped at the gate, Arnav did something with the keys and the gate opened so I drove inside and finally parked the car.

"What place is this and why are we here?" I asked as I looked around, there was a beautiful garden outside with so many different kind of flowers.

"It's our farmhouse, come on." He said as he got some keys from the car and headed towards the door of the mansion, I stood behind him while he unlocked the door and then pushed it open.

The sight in front of me had left me in awe once again, although it wasn't as huge as the mansion they lived it, it was still pretty huge and it had interiors in white and gold, it looked like some sort of a royal palace.

He stood at the door as he shut his eyes, it looked like he dint want to go inside but he was trying to convince himself, he looked at me and then got hold of my hand and pulled me inside, I could feel his hands trembling, it was like he was walking inside some sort of a haunted house.

"Arnav, Are you okay?" I looked at him nervously, he nodded without looking at me, he was looking around the house like he was coming here after a long time.

He headed upstairs and with every step we took, I felt his hand turning colder and colder, I was so confused, I dint even know why he had brought me here and why he was feeling this way about this place, what was the secret related to it?

We stopped in front of a room, Arnav shuffled through the keys he had once again as he looked for the one that could unlock this door, he tried a couple of them until her managed to find the one that unlocked the door.

He pushed the door opened as we both walked inside the room, I was left in awe as I looked around the room, it was a huge room but that's not what left me in awe, the pictures that were all around the room did.

The whole room was covered with different photographs of a girl, she looked young, a bit younger than me and so pretty, if I was going to speak the truth, I felt like she was the prettiest girl I had ever come across.

Arnav walked towards one of the pictures as he placed a hand on it and looked at it as a tear dropped down from his eyes, and although it was a big deal for a bad boy to cry like this, I wasn't surprised, since the time I met him and then got to know him a bit, I knew he had so many sides that he hid from the world.

He closed his eyes as he clenched his fists tight, he stood there in that position for a few moments but it seemed like forever because I knew he was battling with something inside his head and I felt so sad for him.

He walked towards the bed and sat down on it as he gestured to me to sit there, I walked towards him and settled down next to him as I stared at him.

"You must be wondering why I brought you here and what this place is or why you are sited in a room full of pictures of a girl you don't know right?" he looked at me, his voice was so soft and soothing at the moment.

I nodded positively as I continued looking at me, he looked back at me and tried to smile but it dint touch his eyes.

"Her name was Jiya, we were friends since childhood." Arnav said as he looked around the room once again, he pointed at a picture straight in front of me.

"You see that picture, it was the first picture I ever took of hers and then I came into my room and stuck it on the wall, I was a kid that time, I dint know why I was doing it but I did it because I liked seeing her.

Oh by the way, we used to live here before but then dad got the mansion we live in right now made and we shifted there and converted this to be our farmhouse, I used to come here a lot before, but for the past few years I haven't."

"Why?" I looked at him curiously.

"I am sure you'll have many why's to ask me today." He giggled and I just kept on staring at him, I don't know what to say or what to do.

"So Jiya and I grew up as friends and just like every cliché childhood friends story, we both ended up falling in love with each other, I was pretty young then, I think I was either thirteen or fourteen years old when I told her I loved her." He smiled as he reminisced the memory in his mind.

"I couldn't contain my happiness when she told me she felt the same towards me and you know the first thing I did was to rush home and tell my whole family about it, you've already met them, they are so supportive of everything and they were so happy about it.

You see all this pictures around the room, they were all taken by me, whenever we were together I made sure to take a picture of her and then I got it printed and stuck it in my room, I was that much in love with her." he said as he continued staring at the pictures.

"Have you ever been in love Khushi?" he asked as he looked at me, I nodded negatively as I giggled, although I dint know much about his story yet but from what he told me, love sounded so beautiful and I really wanted to feel that way for someone, I just dint know when love was going to happen to me.

"You know love makes you do a lot of things and makes you a person you wouldn't thought you'd be, I had never thought that I was capable of giving someone else so much importance, it was my room but there was not even one picture of mine, maybe I was even a little bit obsessed with her." he giggled.

"But I loved her so much, she was the only girl I ever loved, truly and deeply."

"What happened to her?" I looked at him curiously, and suddenly the expressions on his face changed.

"Remember that day I took you to the garage and showed you that car? She was inside that car when she left me." Arnav said sadly.

"Was she the one driving it? or wait, was it Ryle?" Khushi asked as she looked at him with more and more curiosity.

"I was the one driving it, I thought you'd figure that out because I don't drive anymore, anyway so we met with an accident and she lost her life but I survived." Arnav said and maybe those were the last words he spoke because after that he dint say anything, he just sat the silently staring at the floor.

I felt bad for him, although maybe I couldn't understand his pain but I understood how terrible it must have felt to lose her, being together in the car and then only him surviving, it must have felt like a punishment.

But then so many of my questions were still unanswered, I dint know what Ryle had to do with all this, he wasn't related to the girl at all so maybe it wasn't because of the girl, maybe there was something else that made them hate each other, but what? And I was standing in the same place I was last time, not knowing why they both wanted to kill each other, but yet having a bit more knowledge of Arnav's past life.
