We just stood there for a moment, I kept on waiting for him to say something but he just kept on staring at me and wouldn't say anything and now his behavior was literally pissing me off. If he dint want to talk to me I wasn't going to hang around waiting for him to.

"Excuse me, I've got work to do." I said as I took a step backwards, turned around and walked away immediately, it was so hard, all I wanted was for him to talk to me but he wouldn't so I wasn't going to wait around trying to get him talk to me if he dint want to.

I had no idea what was bothering him or why suddenly he had decided to ignore me and I dint even want to find out anymore, it was just a stupid crush, it was going to get over once with wedding was over anyway.

I headed to check on the catering even though I had already done that earlier today, quiet honestly, I just needed something to keep me busy so that I would keep my mind off him.

"There you are, I've been looking for you." NK said as he walked towards me.

"And why were you looking for me?" I smirked.

"I get bored in weddings, and you are a beautiful company." He winked at me making me blush, okay was he flirting with me or what?

"Do you use such lines on all the girls?" I asked as I started walking towards the area where to altar had been set up, the wedding rituals had already begun and I wanted to watch, NK followed me along.

"Kind of, and it never works." He pouted.

"It's the first time I'm hearing a guy accept the truth instead of saying, you I've used it only on you." I said as I stopped at a spot from where I could watch the wedding perfectly, he also stopped beside me and continued looking at me.

"I'm sorry if I'm staring to much, you are just so beautiful." He smiled genuinely.

"Thank you." I blushed as I stared at the floor. You see this, this is what I liked, a guy as honest as NK and someone that wouldn't ignore me and talk to me whenever he felt like. I wish I had met NK earlier, then maybe this crush that I had on Arnav, I would have had it for NK instead.

I kept on looking around until my eyes stopped at Arnav, quite strangely he was looking at me, but I was going to act the same way he was so I looked back at NK and continued smiling at him, if he knew how to ignore me, I knew how to ignore him better.

"I wanted to ask you something by the way." NK said.

"What?"

"I'll ask you after the wedding is over."

"Then why would you tell me right now? Now I'll be curious the entire time." I pouted.

"You are cute when you pout."

"Stop it, you're making me blush." I giggled. Seriously he was just being extra sweet today and giving me so many compliments, I was continuously blushing.

"That's the intention." He winked.

"Then I should run away before my whole face turns completed red." I giggled as I tried to walk away, but he grabbed my hand and stopped me, he dint pull me back and now I was feeling awkward, we were in the middle of a wedding with so many guests around and he was holding my hand so openly, everyone could see.

"Don't get lost, I still have a question to ask you, remember?" He said.

"I won't." I said as I pulled my hand off and ran away quickly. I found a place that was less crowded and sat down trying to catch a breath.

Wow, so much was happening today, I dint really expect NK to be showering me with all these complements and now I was even nervous about the question he wanted to ask me, what could it be? I couldn't stop wondering, it was exciting and scary at the same time.

"Khushi, why are you seated all alone? Is everything okay?" Asha asked as she joined me out of nowhere, she looked like she was really concerned about me.

"Yeah, I was just resting for a moment, lots of work." I smiled.

"Oh okay."

We both sat there for the next five minutes in complete silence and kind of an awkwardness, I dint know what to say to her and I guess neither did she.

"So... did Arnav tell you how pretty you look today?" She asked.

"Actually no." I shrugged, okay this was really awkward so I decided maybe I should leave. I just stood up and wondered where to go next, everywhere I went, I kept on meeting someone and I just wanted to sit alone for a while.

"You're going to look for him?" Asha asked.

"Umm no." I said as I turned to look at her, I knew she had the best interest for me and for Arnav in her heart, but this was just too complicated and anytime anyone mentioned Arnav it was just making me angry.

"Can I ask for a favor? Look Arnav and I both know what you ladies are trying to do, I mean it's so obvious but quite honestly, I think it won't work so please stop trying." I said to Asha, they had to stop putting us in a position where we had to talk to each other even when we didn't want to, it was embarrassing.

"We aren't doing anything Khushi, I mean yes we do try to create situations where you have each other's company but that's about it. The attraction between you both is so obvious and we definitely dint create that." Asha said.

"There is no attraction here, especially from his side and I don't want to get trapped into something that's not meant to be, so I'm just asking for one little thing. Please stop trying. Thank you." I said as I turned around and walked away.

Was I rude? I don't think so, I just dint want to get hurt and I said that as politely as I could. Anyway, I headed back to NK, he was the only one that wasn't trying to set me up with Arnav and I liked his company.

I found him seated alone at one end and I joined him, there was an empty chair beside him so I sat down there.

"Wedding are beautiful, aren't they?" He smiled as he looked away from the altar and at me.

"They are, I've seen many." I smiled as I looked at Samar and Sonali who were currently staring at each other, they looked so much in love, it was beautiful.

"Do you ever see those couples who look so deeply in love you wish you could have that kind of love someday too?"

"I do... but that kind of love is rare to find." I mean in today's world where mostly all everyone cared about was just casual relationships, it was hard to find someone that was willing to be in a serious relationship and make it work, sometimes even people in relationships had other relationships outside of them too.

Loving someone was pretty scary, what if you fell in love with someone that dint love you back? Or what if you fell in love with the wrong kind of a person, someone you would give your all too yet it would never be enough? The idea of love was beautiful and scary at the same time.

*****

After lunch, most of the guests left, only a few of the close relatives and family members were left, there was still some time before the wedding finally came to an end.

Once everyone was done with eating lunch, I went to talk to the caterer and discuss on how and when he would get the payment. One of the biggest weddings of my life was finally coming to an end, it was kind of sad.

I had gotten really attached to all these people and it was sad how I was never going to see them again, I mean maybe I was going to bump into them somewhere someday but that was going to be it, it really made me sad, the whole family had been so nice to me.

Once I was sorted with the caterers, they started packing up their things to leave and I decided to go back to sit with NK, he had kept me pretty entertained the whole time actually.

I stopped where the sitting arrangements had been made and started looking around for him, I don't know where he had disappeared to suddenly, he wasn't in the place where he was seated before.

"Looking for someone?" I heard Arnav's voice from behind me. Oh, so now he wanted to talk to me? I dint even want to look at him, somehow looking at him kind of made me melt and I dint want to melt, he was the one ignoring me!

"Yeah NK, I guess I'll go find him somewhere else." I said as I tried to walk away without looking at me but as if he was going to let me go so easily. Seriously was he bipolar or something?

"What?" I asked as soon as he held my hand and pulled me back.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He asked.

"Can you hear yourself Arnav? You're the one that has been ignoring me, now when I ignore you too it's a problem?" Okay keeping my crush on him aside I was freaking pissed!

"I was just... I..."

"I don't need an explanation that you can't even give properly, now if you excuse me, I have to go look for NK." I said.

"Why?"

"What why? Oh, you mean why look for NK? Because unlike you he hasn't been a jerk to me and neither does he talk to me or ignore me whenever he pleases, that's why." I replied rudely, I was seriously so mad at him, he was acting like I had started the ignorance game.

"Khushi I..."

"Leave my hand Arnav, you can't even seem to be able to talk, so let me go do my stuff and you continue ignoring me, I don't care."

"If you don't care, why are you so mad?"

"Because I don't deserve to be treated like you have been treating me. I was invisible to you the whole time and now suddenly you want to talk to me, sorry I am not interested." I said as I tried to pull my hand off his hold but damn, he wouldn't just let go.

"I am sorry, I know I have been a jerk to you." He apologized as he pouted, aww he looked so cute while pouting, I just wanted to grab his face and kiss him. Wait what?

Now I was even thinking about kissing him? No way! These feelings of mine were now getting out of hand. Khushi stop melting!

"It's just so complicated... I like spending time with you, I like being friends with you but then I don't know if I... I don't know what to do."

"Then talk to me when you know what to do. Now let me go!"

He finally let my hand go... oh thank God, I swear his touch was making me feel things I dint want to feel at this moment, I just wanted to be angry at him because he was being a jerk.

I couldn't seriously understand him, earlier today when Asha and Barkha had left us alone, he didn't say a word and now he was suddenly talking to me again, I couldn't understand what was going on in his mind or what he was even thinking.

All I knew was that I was just so freaking mad at him!

I kept walking and walking, I had no idea where I was even going anymore, I was mad at Arnav and I was mad at myself for wanting to kiss him, I mean why would I imagine something like that out of the blues? Why? Why the hell Khushi?

Was I just lying to myself? Was I just having a crush on him or was it more than that? If it was more, I swear I was screwed because clearly, he was complicated and I dint want to get myself in between complicated stuff.

I hated this! I would just go find NK and avoid Arnav, that was the best thing to do in this situation because from the looks of it, I know nothing was going to work out between us, the earlier I accepted it, the better.
