2 weeks later...

Naina was back from hospital and was instructed to rest for few days...

Her parents told what happened to her, which did freak her out, but she did not let her parents know that, also she was diagnosed with Asthama and was advised to carry the puff with her all the time and was put on a diet, keep her healthy....

So in short, Naina was under Mrs. Malhotra's strict surveillance and was not allowed to go anywhere without her permission, which pissed her off...

Her family is always by her side, taking care of her and fulfilling all her demands...

Even Arjun's family and their friends visited her every weekend, his mother would brings Naina's favourite dishes, she is truly adored Naina, she would always say that Naina was the daughter she never had, Naina and Arjun's moms would spend time, while Naina and the twins have fun along with Radhika...

Arjun too visited her sometimes, He was being very sweet and caring to her, but never spared a chance to mock Naina....

But today Naina was really restless, she was bored staying at home, she wanted to go out and play, as the schools were commencing from next month so everyone will be busy with their routine, she was repeatedly requesting her mom to let her go out but Mrs. Malhotra declined instead she called Radhika at their house...

'Maa.... let me go out na...' Naina whined

'No.. You're not going anywhere, we have discussed this Naina and now it's getting irritating....' her mom scolds her

'But Mom, I don't want to stay inside the house, I promise I won't play any games not even cricket... please let me go...please... please' she tries one more time

'Enough Naina...' her mom loses her patience now

'Raina, don't scold her please....' her father intervenes and her mom huffs

'Papa, can I go...' She turned towards her dad, with hope and Mrs. Malhotra glares at him

'Listen to your mom Naina, I am with her this time...' he said

'Huh.... Traitor...' She mutters and stormed to her room and her parents sighed

'What do I do with this girl' her mom whined.

'Don't worry Maa.. she'll come out as soon as she calms down' Abhimanyu said

The door bell rang and Abhi went to open the door to find over excited Radhika jumping....

'Hello Bhaiyya...!! Is Naina awake ??'

'Calm down, Bugs bunny..' he made her stop jumping, 'I think you have some interesting gossip today....' he chuckled

'Yes Bhaiyya, I have some interesting news for Naina and it's so awesome that she'll jump with joy...' Rads's eyes twinkled..

'Really ! Do tell me afterwards okay ? Now go inside, she's inside her room pouting...' he said and let her inside..

'Namaste Uncle.. Namaste Aunty...' she greets Naina's parents

'Khush raho beta, you look really cute today...' Naina's mom pulled her cheeks.

'Thank you aunty...'

'Go inside dear, she's angry on us...' her father said

'Wants to go out again ?' Rads asks

'Yeah...' Abhi answers

'Don't worry Uncle, I'll cheer her up...' Radhika said and walks towards Naina's room

'Morning... Angry bird...' she chirps

'Huh... Rads... Hiii...'

'Why so glum, What happened..?' Rads asked

'I am so bored here, and these guys don't even let me go out, I want to play...!' Naina whined

'You can't play Naina, You know you cann..' Rads begin..

'I know I have Asthama.. I shouldn't run much...' she snapped

'But I want to see my friends..'

'Don't be sad, once you are fine, we'll go meet all of them together...' Rads patted her back and Naina's mom brought snacks for them..

'Thank you aunty...' Rads thanks her and Naina sighed...

'Easy for you to say, you hang out with them every evening...'

Rads remembers something at this and excitedly turns at her 'Speaking of which, I have a juicy gossip for you ! You'll be really happy after hearing what I'm going to say..'

'What...?'

'Umm.. well... it's about...'

'About...?'

'It's about.....' Rads intentionally mocked her

'Ohh.... Spill it already...' Naina snapped

'Woah, calm down there Angry Bird..!! It's about Arjun & Aditi...' she said

Naina tensed..

What about them, did they get together ? No no no... this can't be happening...

What's wrong in them getting together... why am I bothered so much...

Oo cut it Naina... let her say what is it..

'Naina are you listening...?' Rads shook her.

'Are they both in relationship...?' Naina whispered

'What...!!! No ! Are you Mad...? What made you think like that...? Aditi sure likes him, but he doesn't... They are not together..'

Naina sighed...'Then what is it...?'

'They had a fight yesterday....' She exclaims

'What...!! Arjun and Aditi ? had a fight...?? Impossible...'

'Wait it's not over babe, you wanna know for who was the reason for their fight...?' Rads smirked

'Who...?' Naina was excited by now..

'You...!' Rads chirped..

'What...!!' She was shocked

'Yes.. Arjun & Aditi had an arguement over you..'

'Why...?' She whispered

'Wait let me tell you from beginning....

You see after visiting you, we all went to the badminton court for a game, all the time Aditi was Blabbering something, no one paid attention to what she was saying until we heard your name... she was bitching about you, and was praising Arjun for saving you, she said few mean things like how immature were you to mess with the older men, and even made fun of your health...' Naina frowned at this

'I was Angry, and told her to shut her mouth, because you fought them to save me, and we had an argument, and being the drama queen she is, she took this matter to Arjun & Jai who were busy playing the game, hoping that they will take her side... but her plan backfired, both were got angry....' Rads laughed at this and Naina sighed

You should've seen Arjun's face while listening to her blabbering, and Jai said..

'But you praised Naina few minutes ago, calling her act a brave one...' he was disgusted

'I had to be nice in front of her, what if she got an asthama attack right there, after hearing the truth...' she mocked, everyone frowned when she said this only her followers giggled

'I was about to yell at her, when Arjun marched towards her, his eyes were red and literally if looks could kill Aditi would be dead by now' Rads exhaled...

Naina who was tensed by now listening to the mean things said about her relaxed a bit..

'Then....?' She asked

'He said...'How dare you talk something like that about her Aditi....!!! How could you make fun of her health.. just because she is not well doesn't make her weak.. do you even hear yourself....'

Everyone was shocked with his outbreak, Aditi was dumfounded..

'But Arjun...'

'No but's Aditi... You are such a bitchy person, what Naina did there needs guts, which none of us have, And from now on If I hear another word against Naina from anyone of you, be ready to face me.... And you, it will be best if you stay away from me....'  he glared at her

'You're yelling at ME for that Naina, Arjun...' She argued

'Why can't I take my friend's side in front of you ? Who are you ? My girlfriend....!!!' Arjun said sarcastically.

Aditi was tounguetied & embarrassed... 'Is she your girlfriend then...??' She shot back...

'Better her, than you !' He said and stormed out from there, followed by others, you  should've seen Aditi's face, well she deserved that.....' Rads finished

Naina was speechless, Arjun stood up for her, Thinking of it, brought butterflies in her stomach..

Yes she doesn't hate him anymore, yes he's her friend now, but what she was feeling now was completely different...

She had a respect for Arjun now...

Little she knew that the feeling wasn't respect but a budding Love...
