I couldn't stop thinking about Arnav, and his so-called friend/girlfriend. I also couldn't stop thinking about the girl I saw, I was sure as hell it was Tanvi.

If Tanvi and Arnav were both here, did they know? Did they hang out? If yes, why dint Tanvi ever call me to inform me about Arnav's whereabouts despite knowing how much effort and time I had put looking for him?

Everything was a mess, I dint know what to think anymore, I dint know what to believe anymore. I thought moving to Mumbai was going to make my life better, it was going to make it easier to move on from the past but it wasn't like that, the past was in front of me once again, and I dint know how to move on from it.

Especially not with Arnav acting like my existence dint even bother him, it was like he dint care and I wanted to do the same, if he dint care, I dint want to care too, but why was it so difficult.

Was it all that easy for him? To act like he dint know me, to ignore me and pretend like I dint exist? Or did it pain him deep down?

I dint know what to do from here, I dint know how I was supposed to live my life now.

I lied down on my bed as I stared at the ceiling, my stomach rumbled but I dint feeling like eating so I hadn't even cooked, I was just overwhelmed with so much thoughts and it was making me restless.

I dint want to feel so restless. How was I supposed to deal with it? How was I supposed to pull myself out from this situation that was causing me so much stress?

Maybe like Arnav, I had to not let it bother me, if he hates me so much I should let him and me and met myself not be bothered with it. If he had moved on in his life and found someone else, maybe I should start doing it too, maybe I should join a dating app or something, maybe I should stop chasing away the guys that approached me.

Yes, the first step to moving on, I should stop chasing away guys. I know I made a mistake and if Arnav dint want to give me a chance to explain myself or even repent for it, I dint have much to do, from today onwards, I was making myself a promise, I won't let him stress me out anymore.

I inhaled a deep breath and tried to relax as I shut my eyes so I could sleep. Yes, sleep peacefully Khushi, nothing is worth enough to stress about the entire night, just sleep, relax, wake up, go to work and live your life.

*****

As I walked into the office, I saw heads turn, literally. So many people were staring at me, today I had made an extra effort, I dressed my best, put on some make up, even styled my hair perfectly. It was finally time for me to move on in life.

I ignored all the glances as I walked into Yug's cabin, he had arrived earlier than me today, he looked up from his laptop as I walked in and smiled at me as he stared at me in awe, I greeted him then headed to my cabin, I wish I had a separate door to my cabin so I wouldn't have to go through Yug's cabin, it was kind of weird.

As I settled down, I noticed Yug was still staring at me, I dint know how to feel about it, I mean a part of me wanted to put myself out there to move on, but it kind of felt weird at the same time.

A few minutes later, he got back to his work and I got to mine, but every few minutes, he would steal a glance at me when he thought I wasn't looking but I did notice, it was pretty obvious.

I wasn't sure if I liked the attention, I mean I liked knowing that people were staring at me today, and also Yug, but I worked under him, so I dint want things to be weird between us.

A couple hours later, Yug walked into my cabin and smiled brightly at me.

"I was heading to the factory, would you like to come along?" He asked.

"What factory?"

"Where our final designs are turned into actual clothes, did you think we make the clothes here in the office?" He laughed.

"No I dint think that... anyway I would like to come, give me a minute?"

"Sure, I'll be waiting downstairs." He smiled as he walked away, I quickly finished doing what I was doing, grabbed my purse and rushed downstairs.

I found him waiting for me in the parking lot inside his car, I rushed towards it, open the door and got in, he just smiled at me and drove off.

There was something odd about his behavior today, I noticed he was pretty silent, otherwise, he was always talking to me about random stuff.

It was a twenty-minute drive, that too because there wasn't much traffic, we arrived to the factory where he parked his car and then led me in. The factory was really huge and there were lots and lots of workers here, lots of fabrics, machines and what not.

There were people sewing, some cutting materials and so on, the amount of work they put in making each piece of clothing wasn't even worth the price, and we always complained the clothes were to pricey and so, only if people came down to see the actual amount of work that had be put into it.

"Look around, I have a short meeting with the supervisor, I'll be back soon then we can leave." He smiled, I nodded as he walked away I continued walking around the factory looking at everything that was going on.

*****

Like he said, his meeting was pretty short, he came back soon I dint even realize he had left, once he was back, we both headed back to his car as he drove us back to the office, or at least that's what I thought, until he parked his car outside a huge building.

"What place is this?" I asked as we both stepped out.

"It's a hotel, I thought we could have lunch here instead of eating the usual canteen food, it's lunch time anyway."

"Oh okay." I smiled as I followed him inside, he got us a table as we settled down and went through the menu and placed our order.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look today?" He asked once the waiter had walked away with our order.

"No you dint." I blushed.

"Well, I haven't been able to stop staring at you, I'm sure you've noticed. I don't know what you have done with yourself today, but damn you look gorgeous." He smirked.

"Thanks." I blushed.

We stared at each other awkwardly for the next few moments until the waiter came back with our food, once the food came I concentrated on eating and not looking at Yug, he did the same. I don't know why things suddenly just felt awkward.

"We'll have dessert then get back to work okay?" He said to me, I nodded, I had no idea he had ordered for a dessert, I dint even hear him order it but anyway who was I to say no to something sweet right?

A few minutes later I saw the waiter walk towards us with something that looked like a cake, was it his birthday today? Maybe.

The waiter placed it on our table and walked away, I looked at the cake and was left with my eyes wide open, this wasn't what I was expecting seriously.

I was expecting the cake to be blank or have happy birthday written on it but instead, what was written left me quite surprised.

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Yug asked, those were the exact same words written on it. Holy Shit! I dint even know what to answer. My heart was racing by now.

"When... I mean how... jeez I'm so nervous I can't even speak." I giggled nervously.

"I told you when Yug Raizada would ask you on a date it would be special." He smirked. Well it was, but I dint know what to say. Like I decide to move on in life and the next day I get asked out on a date, what am I supposed to answer?

"Honestly speaking, Yug so far has been such a great person and he seemed like a good guy but I was skeptical, I mean decided to move on is one thing and actually doing it is another. I was now suddenly doubtful of my own decisions.

Of course I still needed to know him better and that's what the going on a date was for, but I dint know what to say, he was Arnav's cousin, that meant I would have to face Arnav from time to time, was I ready for that?

You've ever heard of the phrase, talk of the devil and the devil appears? Yeah, I thought about Arnav and I saw him walking towards us, was he following us or something? Yug hadn't seen him yet because he was seated facing me.

"Yes." I smiled at Yug brightly, seeing Arnav just made me mad, that he acted all like he dint know me, so if he was going to act like my existence dint bother him, I was going to do the same.

"Really? Wow thank you Khushi." Yug smiled as he stood up excitedly and came to hug me, usually I would be awkward but I let him, because Arnav was watching and I loved the expressions on his face when he saw Yug hug me. It was worth saying yes.

"I swear you won't regret dating me." Yug said happily.

"What?" Arnav asked from behind him, Yug turned to look at him and then hugged him happily while Arnav looked at me like I was gone crazy. Oh now does he suddenly recognize me?
