******************

3 days after Khushi gets back to her normal life. She checked her phone and found a lot of messages from Arnav. She got emotional seeing it. He has sent her a few numbers of some trusted drivers.
He also messaged her about his routines and schedules. Khushi sends him a message along with a smiling picture of her.

***********

Khushi reached college and saw Payal waiting for her near the entrance.

"You look terrible brainy." Payal said looking at her dull face.

"He will be back to you." She assured her.

"I know but I just miss him a lot. We haven't talked since he left for Delhi."

"He will call you soon Khushi. Now at least cheer up for your best friend." Saying this she tickled Khushi making her smile.

Two days after Arnav called her making Khushi emotional. He had to unleash his shameless avatar to turn a crying Khushi into a shying Khushi. He made her promise not to cry over him.

Two days after Payal gifted her a packet which got delivered into her home.

"Your don send you something. Check it out. I'm excited to see what he has sent for you." Payal said as Khushi opened the packet. She found a big diary which had a lock.

She opened it with the key and found a letter in it.

To My Baby 😘

My strong lady has turned into a cry baby....

So, if you feel like talking to me write it here.  You can write whatever you want, I don't want you to cry over anything. Just let out everything into this.

- Laadgovernor 😉

Khushi smiled reading the note. She traced his messy handwriting.

"Your Don is such a romantic man Khushi... He sent you a diary so that you can write your feelings, didn't he??? Khushi blushed and nodded her head.

"Aww, that's so cute. Anyway thanks to your man for saving me from a gloomy friend." Khushi hit Payal on her arm as she teased her.

From that day, Khushi started to write about everything she felt. She pens down her wishes, desires and emotions etc.

In camp, Arnav had various classes for the whole day with regular workout.  He made himself busy with all these. Whenever her thought came to her mind he used to look at the Hamsa pendant she gave to him. He made a good rapport with most of the teammates. He tried his best to control his anger. He stands out from his teammates because of his attitude and freaky look. Slowly he gets close to his roommate Aman who struggled a lot in his life.

He used to tease her with his shameless talks. Every time he used to remind her about his demands making her scolds him for being overprotective.  He likes the cute little fights he had with her.
His heart overflowed with happiness when she questions him about his eating habits and other things. Its made him feel that he is not alone in this world.
Her words motivated him to perform well and to get a little more social to others.

They called and teased each other when they get time. They remembered the moments they spend together which brought a smile on their face.

Flashback

Few days after their nature camp and first kiss.

Khushi is on the bus, travelling to college.
She got a call from Arnav and he asked her to get down in the next stop. She denied stating that she can't lose her attendance.

"Khushi if you don't get down in the next stop, I will stop the bus and take you myself."

"You can't do that Arnav."

"You know that I won't step back from my words."

Khushi debated herself to get down or not. When she made her decision, the bus has started to move from the stop he asked her to get down. She sat back on her seat, and after a few minutes saw his bullet closer to her bus.

Khushi knows that he is going to stop the bus and called him. Arnav overtakes the bus and stopped his bullet in front of the bus. He attended her call as he walked towards the bus.

"Arnav...I will get down in the next stop... Please go back now... I promise you that I will do it." He entered the bus and walked towards her seat.

"What are you doing??? What do you want?" The conductor asked him.

"I'm searching for someone and I think I'm on the wrong bus. "Saying this he stepped down giving a glance at her. Khushi exhaled a deep breath and looked at him zooming away from there.

She gets down in the next stop and looked around not seeing him there. That's when she got a call from him.

"Where are you Arnav?? You told me to get down here and you are not even present here."

"Khushi, did you see the flower shop right next to the bus stop?" He asked her.

"Yup..."

"Go and stand there." Saying this he cut the call. When she reached near to the shop, he again called her.

"Khushi say your name to the shopkeeper."

"What?? Why??"

"You will know that when you say your name to the shopkeeper."

"Urrgh...this laadgovernor..." Saying this she moved next to the shopkeeper.

"What do you want madam?"

"Hmm...my name is Khushi." The boy smiled at Khushi and went inside. She came back with a rose and gave it to her.

"Have a wonderful day madam."

Khushi looked at the big bright rose in her hand and smiled. She then heard the sound of a bullet and turned back. She found him looking at her with a smile.
He looked extremely handsome in the white shirt and ripped blue jeans.

"Why did you ask me to get down?? You could have given me this rose anywhere at any time." She asked walking towards him, who is sitting on his bullet.

Kanna de vich pippal patiyan

Maahi….. e……

O, beloved…..

"You look beautiful." He complimented holding her hand which made her blush.

"What did the shopkeeper tell you?" He asked her.

"He wished me a wonderful day."

"Get in baby."

"Why did you ask me to step down here?? Why did you ask this shopkeeper to give me the flower?" She asked him.

"Will you get in or keep questioning me?"

"I'm going to questioning you."

"Ok, how about I give you a kiss for each question you ask me."

"What??? You can't do that."

"Well, I can do that. Try me."

"You will kiss me without my permission?" She asked him with a shock.

"So you don't want me to kiss you."

"Not here...in public."

"Now give me the answer to my questions."

"I will tell you everything soon. Now get in. Don't you trust me?"

"Don't you know that I trust you?" She countered back.

"Then get in baby. If you are going to ask me any questions, I'm going to unbutton each of my buttons on this shirt." Saying this he unbuttoned the top button leaving her in shock.

"Arnav what are you doing? Don't you have any shame?"

"I don't have any shame when I'm with you." He said with a wink. Khushi sat behind him and held his shoulder.

"Baby, we are going to make your day wonderful. So hold on to me baby." He said squeezing her hand. He started the bullet as she sat behind him. Khushi know that she is safe with him.

Jaanvi chodh ke na

Don’t leave me

Tere naal rehna ve

I want to reside with you

Tu sringar mera

You are my ornaments

Tu hai maahi gehna ve…

You are my jewelries

"Baby, Is there any place in Mumbai you want to go?"

"If you ask like that, hmm...I have never been to a local train."

"Ok, then let's go for your first local train trip. Did you had a breakfast baby?"

"Yup, I had mine."

"Then let's go and have mine."Arnav parked his bike near a restaurant and entered.

"Arnav, what about your class?? You will be having your finals soon, don't you want to study?" She asked as they tried to find a seat.

"Baby, are you trying to make my hunger  run away by mentioning about studies?" Arnav said making her sit on the chair & sat next to her.

"Hmm... Why are you sitting beside me? Your chair is opposite to me."

"Baby, boys will sit opposite to their lady. A real man will sit beside his lady."

"Who said that??"

"Arnav Singh Raizada said that." She smiled shaking her head.

"You don't like sitting opposite to me?" That's when the waiter comes to take their order. From his order, she realised that they are in a South India restaurant.

"What do you want baby?" He asked her.

"I already had my breakfast."Arnav ignored her and placed the order.

"Now let's answer your question." He said after the waiter moved from there.

"Sitting besides have its own advantages baby. Should I show you some advantages?" He asked entwining their hands.

"No...I don't want to see anything."

"Ok then..." Saying this he places his head on her shoulder wrapping his arms around her.

"What are you doing Arnav?? Someone will see us??"

"When we went to the camp, you slept like this on my shoulder. Now I'm doing the same thing. Regarding someone seeing us, did you see anyone near our seat???" Khushi looked around and find it empty.

"What if the waiter come and see us like this?"

"He will place the dishes and go away. Don't worry about him. Am I too heavy for you?? Is that way you are trying to get off my head for your shoulder?" He teased her and sit straight.

"Hmm...you are not that heavy Arnav."

"Yeah, I know that. I just want to sit beside you... I don't like sitting opposite to you."

He said lightly squeezing her hand.

Khushi blushed and placed her hand on their entwined hand.
"I like having you beside me."

"I'm very glad about it."

Jaanvi chodh ke na

Don’t leave me

Tere naal rehna ve

I want to reside with you

Tu sringar mera

You are my beauty

Tu hai maahi gehna ve… hai…

O, beloved, you are my jewellery

Khushi looked at the ghee roast in front him and two other dishes in front of her.

"Why do they have this liquid around the vadai? Is this halwa?" She asked pointing at the rasam vadai and a halwa like dishes.

"That's is rasam vada and other is ragi halwa. Taste it, they are good." He said digging into his food. Khushi took a bite of the halwa and moaned a little, making him uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Arnav this is so tasty. I loved this halwa."

"Khushi, do you always eat like this?"

"Like this matlab?"

"Making noise..."

"Ohh...I'm sorry...I didn't realise that. It was so yummy. Sorry for embarrassing you."

"It wasn't embarrassing at all. I would love to see your reaction if we were where else. Your innocent voice doesn't sound innocent in my mind. If you continue this, I would have had to make a run towards the bathroom." Khushi understood what he is saying and blushed.

"You can eat while blushing too." He said pointing at the plates. Khushi started to have the food while peeking at him. That's when Khushi felt his left hand wrapped around her shoulder.

"What are you doing Arnav?? Someone will see us." She asked looking at his face.

"See, it's easy to look at me than peeking."

She closed her eyes and looked at him.

"Hmm...are you ok? I mean..."

"I'm totally okay baby. Don't worry, I know how to control my desires. So have your food peacefully." Khushi nodded her head and went back to her food. She got relieved when Arnav moved his hand from her shoulder.

They started chatting and Khushi kept telling him about her food preferences.

She is engrossed in telling something when he made her startled.

"I want to kiss you."

She looked at him with her wide-open eyes. She looked around to see if someone heard them or not.

"Arnav, we can't. I mean it's a public place."

"You know I really want to kiss you badly." He said in a husky voice.

"I can wait for some time." Saying this he resumed having his food.

Doori hai bairi

This distance is so cruel

Jinna tu mera

As much you are mine

Unni main teri…

I’m yours that much as well

After having their food, they left towards the railway station. Arnav parked his bike after locking her bag inside the side box.
Arnav pocketed her mobile and took her inside the railway station. It's already past the office hours, so there isn't any rush in the station. They took the ticket and went to the platform.

"Arnav where are we going?" She asked with excitement.

"Surprise baby." He said sitting next to her while waiting for their train.

After 15 minutes, their train arrived. Arnav helped Khushi to get into the train. He made her sit beside the window seat a and sat next to her.

Finally, the train started to move. Arnav sat next to her entwining his fingers with her.

"There isn't much crowd now. Is it because it's past office hours?"

"Yes, at this time you will find a lot of dabbawalas," Arnav said pointing at the tiffins placed in the train. She kept looking outside as the train moved fast. He smiled seeing her enthusiasm and smiled. He turned his head around and found a man staring at her.

"Why are you taking so much effort? If you have guts come and stare by sitting in front of her." He shouted at the man making everyone startled by his sudden response. Khushi tilted her head and saw a man standing there with his sweaty face. They watched as the man moved away from there.

"Hmm, that's good, I didn't notice him though," Khushi said looking at him.

"Even if you have noticed him, the reaction would be the same by you. I have seen you turned into a lioness in such situations and I like that a lot about you." His reply made her blush and smile. Arnav looked at her and squeezed her hand.

After a few minutes, Khushi turned towards him.
"Arnav, can we go and stand next to the door? Is that safe? I only saw that in movies."

"Yeah, we can stand there. Come." Saying this he took her hand and started to walk towards the door side. He held her hand as she walked with the help of the crutch. He made her stand on the corner while he leans on to the steel rode erected in the middle of the entrance.

[Exchange the position]

"You can stand here holding on to the railing. So let's keep your crutch away for now." He placed her crutch on the nearby seat as they stared at each other.

"Is it safe to stand like this?" She asked him.

"No, it's not safe, but you are indeed safe."
She smiled at him and looked outside.

"Arnav, when was the last time you travelled in a local train?"

"Three or four years back."

"Ohh, have you travelled during peak time?"

"Yup, a few times." He replied.

"Was that easy?"

"If you have good push and pull skills, it would be very easy."

"Then it might have been very easy for you." She replied making him chuckle.

"No doubt you are the topper." He said making her laugh. He kept staring at her jovial face.

"I really want to kiss you." He announced all of a sudden making her dumbstruck.

"Hmm... Not here." She replied shaking her head. Arnav leans closer to her making her eyes wide open.

"Surely not with all these people around us." He said putting a little distance between their faces.

Mere sohneya sohneya ve

O my sweetheart

Ve maahi mera kithe nahio dil lagna

My heart can’t concentrate on anything except you

Mere sohneya sohneya ve

O my sweetheart

Ve maahi mera kithe nahio dil lagna… oo….

My heart can’t find peace without you

Finally, the reached their station and he helped her to get down from the train.

"Arnav where are we going from here?"

"Well, I haven't figure out anything. Let's find something interesting."

Arnav called an auto rickshaw and asked him to go to XYZ Street.

"Why are we going there?" Khushi asked him.

"For a walk."

"We came all the way from my place to here for a walk!!!"

"Yeah, for a walk." He said again leaving her in confusion. Arnav stopped the rickshaw and they get down. The street looked beautiful with flowering trees on both sides.

Gulmohar

Arnav took hold of her hand and started to walk.

"This place looks so beautiful. I never know that such a beautiful place existed in this city. Do you like gulmohar trees?" She asked him.

"Yeah, they are beautiful."

"Yes, you know me and my sister used to make nail with its sepals."

"Even maa used to do that when I was small." He let her know and took some of the fallen flowers.

"Let's make you a beautiful witch then." Saying this he attached the flower sepals on her fingers. Khushi giggled showing her fingers with long fake nails.

Haaye tera raasta ve

This path which leads to you

Nange pair turna ve

I’d walk on it barefoot

Tu hai naal mere

You’re with me

Taan main kyun ae darna ve…

Then why would I be afraid of anything?

"Khushi, you stay here. I will be back soon." She watched him talking with some boys who were playing cricket.

Arnav walked towards the boys and asked about their leader. Jaggu, a boy around 12 or 13-year-old came towards him.

"I want you to let us play with you." Arnav let them know about his intention.

"What? You want to play cricket with us?" Jaggu asked him.

"Yeah."

"What will we get in return?" He asked Arnav.

"His about a new set of bats and balls?" He put forward his offer.

"How can we trust you without knowing you? What's the guarantee that you will fulfil your demand once we admit you both?" Arnav looked at the little boy in front of him for a moment before reaching on to his pocket. Arnav took out a key set and removed a key from it. He put back that single key back in his pocket and placed the set of keys onto his palm.

"Keep these keys with you as a guarantee. Give this back when I will bring the bats and balls." Jaggu nodded his head as he realised that it's a matter of love.

"Okay, there is something you guys have to agree." He told the 7 boys in front of him.

"What's it?"

"You are going to cut short of your boundaries. You have to let her play as much as she wants. You are not going to catch any balls. You will not do anything to make her out and one of you will run on behalf of her." Arnav laid down the rules and the boys agreed to it. The boys giggled as Arnav walked towards Khushi.

"What were you talking with those boys?"

"Hmm, how about we play some cricket for now?" He ignored her question and asked.

"Cricket? How can I play cricket?" She asked pointing at her crutch.

"Well, you can still play. So let's go and start batting." Saying this he took her hand and walked towards the boys.

"Arnav, I haven't played cricket earlier."

"I too haven't played cricket with you. Let's do it." Arnav brought her near to the boys. Khushi greeted them with a smile.

"Are you guys okay with me playing?" She asked them.

"Sure didi, we don't have any problem."

"Baby, that's the boundaries and one of the boys will run on behalf of you." He showed her the boundaries while Khushi facepalmed hearing him calling her baby in front of the boys.

"Arnav, you can't call me baby in front of these boys."

"Okay baby, I will keep that in mind baby. Now let's play baby." He teased her making her roll the eyes.

The boy throws the first ball making it hit straight on the wooden stumps.

"Okay, who is next to play?" Khushi asked understanding that she is out.

"Baby, that was a trial." Arnav said and stood beside her. The next ball is caught by Arnav which is about to hit on her body. He walked towards the boy.

"Why are you throwing the ball as if she is your enemy? From now I will deliver the ball." Saying this he stood opposite to her.
Arnav throws the ball slowly and she hit the ball which landed straight on his hand which he dropped onto the floor intentionally.

Likewise, he dropped a lot of balls and she hit some fours and sixes. Arnav can see the joy in her face as she played the game. The boys kept smiling seeing both of them.

After an hour, Khushi got tired and they left for lunch.

"Arnav, it was wonderful. I loved it. Can you imagine I hit some fours and sixes? Is that how cricket is played? I felt that the boundaries are too small."

"It's a street baby, so they will have small boundaries." He said serving her some curries.

"The boys are so cooperative. I liked them. Why were you being a laadgovernor then? How can you call me baby in front of them?"

"That's because you are my baby." Arnav nudged her and pointed at a man kissing a baby girl.

"He is kissing his baby, so should I kiss my baby?" He leans closer to tease her.

"Shameless man, let me have my lunch. I'm totally famished." She turned her head towards her plate while he smiles at her.

Tera raasta ve

This path which leads to you

Nange pair turna ve

I’d walk on it barefoot

Tu hai naal mere

You’re with me

Taan main kyun ae darna ve…

Then why would I be afraid of anything?

After having lunch, Arnav took her to the Sewri Fort.

"How do you know about this place? I haven't heard of this place." Khushi said looking at the not so maintained fort.

"Not so many people know about this place. Earlier it was totally abandoned, now govt is trying to maintain this place. Just know that I know this city a lot more than others do."

"Who built this fort?" Khushi asked.

"By the British at the end of the 17th century, that's what I know." He took her inside the fort and showed her around.

Haaye dono ne rona

We’ll weep together

Dono ne hasna

We’d laugh together

Sab nu ae dassna. Aa….

I’d tell this to everyone

"Arnav, why isn't this so empty?"

"That's because it's not a popular tourist place."

"Ohh... So can we come here anytime?" She asked.

"Well, it isn't safe for girls. So I wouldn't say that we can come here at any time."
Arnav made her step into a higher platform and looked outside through the small opening.

"Come here baby, look through this opening." Arnav made her look through it.

"Did you see something?" He asked her.

"Hmm, there is sea and some boats."

"Look at the right side."

"Arnav, aren't those flamingos?" She asked holding his hand.

"Yup, they migrate through this area."
Khushi smiled in happiness as she watched the birds.

Can we go and watch them closer?" She asked him.

"We will get a close look at them if we go to the jetty."

Mere sohneya sohneya ve

O my sweetheart

Ve maahi mera kithe nahio dil lagna

My heart can’t concentrate on anything except you

Mere sohneya sohneya ve

O my sweetheart

Ve maahi mera kithe nahio dil lagna… oo….

My heart can’t find peace without you

Arnav took her hand and stepped down. On their way, they found some guys sitting on top of the dome of the fort. They started to sing songs which had sexual innuendos. Khushi squeezed his hand and shook her head not wanting him to get into a fight. Arnav nodded his head and took his phone to call Akash. He told him about the match as they walked outside.

"Why did you call Akash all of a sudden?" Khushi asked as they walked towards the jetty.

"I have some matches coming and I was supposed to call him in the morning, but one angel kept me busy with her thoughts." He said making her blush.

Ve maahi mera kitthe nahio dil lagna… aa….

My heart can’t find anything interesting except for you

Ve maahi mera kitthe nahio dil lagna…

My heart can’t find peace without you

"Arnav, why don't you want to introduce me to your friends?" She asked a question which kept nagging her for long.

"Because I don't trust anyone when it's about you."

"They are your friends."

"Yeah, they are, but they don't know me like the way you know me. Among the three of them, Kunal sucks in keeping secrets. If that Laksh comes to know about you, he will surely hurt you to get me. I won't let that happen ever." Khushi nodded her head knowing the rivalry between him and Laksh who is in the English Department.

They reached the jetty and he wrapped his arms around her shoulder as they watched the flamingos.

"They are beautiful." She said leaning on to him. He squeezed her hand lightly and smiled. She looked at him with a smile on her face.

"I want to kiss you badly." He said looking at her face filled with utter happiness.

"Not here." She said with a smile and lightly pushed him away as he leans closer.

Aaiyan patola banke

She has come here looking stunning

Kanna de vich pippal patiyan

She put peepal leaves on the ear to decorate herself

Baahi chooda khanke…

And bangles are tingling on her wrist

They left from there and caught a bus to return back. A few minutes after the ride, Arnav found her sleeping soundly on his shoulder. He smiled and placed a light kiss on her head. As the bus gets crowded, Arnav noticed a man eyeing her cleavage while standing next to their seat.

"Abbe, why don't you go home and pull down the pallu of your mom and sister, you will get to see the same thing there too." He said rudely as he made sure not to disturb her sleep. If she isn't sleeping on his shoulder, he would have beaten out that guy's teeth. That man moved away and get down on the next stop. From then nobody glance at their direction at all, especially men.

They reached the railway station and he gave her bag opening the side box.

"Let's drop you home now." He said calling a cab.

"What about your bike?"

"I don't feel like riding the bike, I like sitting next to you without doing anything." He said as the cab halted in front of them. Khushi blushed and gets into the cab.

"Baby, don't you think that you are forgetting something?" He asked with a naughty glint.

"What?? I have my bag with me, other than that what's it?" She asked without getting his words.

"Well, it starts with K and ends with double S. There is only a word in between and its a four letter word." He teased her making her blush.

"Arnav, no we are in a cab." She said turning towards the window while blushing.

Arnav dropped her home and went back to the street after buying the bats and balls he promised. He located Jaggu's house with the help of a shopkeeper and knocked at the door.

"Bhaiyya, are you here for your keys?" He asked.

"Yes." Jaggu brought his key and Arnav gave him the cricket kit making him smile.

"Thanks a lot bhaiyya."

"I need your small help." Arnav let him know.

"Do you want us to play with didi again?"  He asked getting excited.

"No...do you know this guy?" Arnav said showing his phone. It's the photo he took when the boys were teasing them.
H

e took that photo in disguise of calling Akash.

"I think it's Mukesh bhai and his friends."

"Do you know where he will be at this time?"

"Hmm, they will be near to that old bridge." He let him know and arnav started to walk towards the bridge.

"Bhaiyya." Jaggu called him and he turned around to look at him.

"Hmm, you and didi look good together." Arnav nodded his head with a smile and walked away.

He reached near the bridge and saw Mukesh and two other boys sitting on the old bridge.

"Aren't you Mukesh?" Arnav asked standing in front of him.

"Yes." Mukesh said getting up.

"You asked to be considered and I really consider you now." Saying this he gave a hard punch on his nose making it bleed.

He fell on the floor as his friends too shared the same fate. Arnav stood behind Mukesh and twisted his hands behind.

"What were you singing? Choli ke peech kya hai....now let's see how you sing that." Arnav said pulling his hand harder making him shout.

"I wont don't that again, please leave me." He shouted in pain.

"If I ever see you teasing someone you will curse why you were born." He said after knocking him down.

Arnav went to the railway station and took his bike. After reaching home, he treated the bruises he got from the fight and decided to tease his girl.

<Thinking about me?> He messaged.

<No, I'm not.> The reply came instantly.

<But I'm thinking about you and my pending kiss. Don't you think I deserve a kiss for making your day wonderful.> He replied.

<Yeah, that's true. Well who is stopping you from collecting your kiss?> Shele replied and waits for his reply.

Half an hour later, Khushi heard a knock on the window and opened it.

"Arnav you here??" Khushi looked at the clock and found that it's already past 11 at night.

"You asked me to come and collect my kiss. So I'm here to collect my kiss." He leans close to her eyeing her lips as he stands outside her window.

"You come here just to collect the kiss!!!" She asked him as she can't believe that he drive all the way here.

"Yup, now let me collect my kiss." Arnav wrapped his arms around her waist and lean closer placing his lips on her lips as he stood outside her window. She held on to his as he kissed her passionately.

[Exclude the rain]

They parted away and she smiled at him.
"Thanks for making my day wonderful." She said pecking his cheeks.

"Close the window baby. See you in college tomorrow." Saying this he went from there.

Flashback Ends

As the competition came closer, calls get reduced to once or twice in a week.

Khushi compelled her family to watch the SAFF championship for the first time.

"Gudiya, why are you so interested in this match?" He father asked her. He has never seen her daughter showing this much interest in football.

"Abba, you know my senior is playing for our nation. I showed you his picture in the newspaper. The boy named Arnav."

"Ohhhh, now I remember that. Is this his first international match?"

"Yes..." Khushi made sure that her whole family watch the match.  When Khushi saw him on the TV, unknowingly tears started to roll down from her eyes.

She felt so proud of seeing him in blue Indian jersey with his name ASR and number 05 tag on the back.  Her heart jumped out of its cage as she saw him falling down while playing.  When he scored his first goal, Khushi clapped her hand and shouted forgetting about her surrounding. Her family looked at her as if they have seen a ghost

"He is my senior, he is going to make our college pride Ammi, Abba." Khushi tried to cover up her over excitement. She watched the game with her sight fixed on Arnav for the whole time. She got angry on other players who pushed or pulled Arnav while on the ground.

That day she called Payal and kept on talking about how Arnav played the match. Payal has already seen the game, but she can understand what Khushi is going through now.  She silently heard everything her overwhelmed friend told her. She left Arnav a message and wrote an essay in the diary about his first match. She wrote about the feelings she had when she saw him on TV for the first time.

Khushi made sure that she watches his every match. She cried when he got the title of the highest goal scorer. The team retained their title of SAFF championship.
