"I am waiting for an answer Khushi." Arnav looked at me seriously.

"No Arnav, I am not dating Yug because I thought you were dating Tanvi, I didn't even know she was here, I dint even know that she knew you were here.

The only reason I am dating Yug is because I am tired, of feeling this pain, I just want to get over it, I want to move on in life because you don't seem to be able to forgive me and I don't know what more to do to earn your forgiveness.

Right now, I feel it Arnav, I feel what you felt when you found out I was talking to your mother and I hate Tanvi for it, she knew I was looking for you, I told her to always keep looking for you and inform me as soon as she found out anything about you but here she is, with you and yet she dint even tell me. Why would you do that Tanvi?" I looked at her angrily.

She dint say anything, she kept on looking everywhere else but at me, I just couldn't understand it, I thought we were best friends, why would she do anything like this to me?

"We're getting late Arnav, we should leave." She grabbed his hand as she started pulling him away.

"You aren't leaving without giving me answers Tanvi! Why the hell on earth wouldn't you tell me that Arnav was in Mumbai?" I shouted at her angrily.

"Because I dint want to. Jeez Khushi, why do you always think you are the important one? I was tired of you being the only important person around okay." Tanvi replied back.

"What do you mean? We were best friends, there wasn't anything like I was more important than you."

"Yes you were, that's why Arnav fell in love with you and not me, despite me trying so hard for him to notice me, he just wouldn't!"

"He fell in love with me because he knew me longer than he knew you Tanvi, I was in his life for years before we met you and that's not even the point, if he was meant to fall for you he would have, if he dint, what was my fault in that?"

"I don't care whose fault it was Khushi, I love Arnav and he is mine only. Arnav, look at me, I love you, I have always been there for you, not like her, she betrayed you, she talked to your mother secretly and never told you, I was the one that brought out the truth in front of you, if I wouldn't have, you would have never found out." Tanvi cupped Arnav's face as she looked him into the eyes trying to convince him.

I stood there looking at her in shock, did I hear that correctly?

"What did you say? You brought out the truth? Which means... you were the one sending those notes?" I looked at her in complete shock.

I mean out of all the people it the world, my very own best friend chose to betray me like that!

"Yes I did, I overheard your conversation with Arnav's mom once and I knew I could use it against you so I did! Arnav look at me, I did it so you could know that she was lying to you and doing things behind your back, I would never do anything like that to you Arnav because I truly love you." Tanvi looked at him again.

"You did just exactly what Khushi did Tanvi! You secretly sent her those notes, blackmailing her, instead of doing that you should have come and told me the truth! You two just played around with my feelings.

Oh God! What in the world did I do to deserve such a betrayal from the both of you? I can't believe that once upon a time I thought I was lucky to have you both in my life! I am disgusted by you Tanvi, you know what, just leave and never show me your face again!" Arnav looked at her angrily.

"Arnav I was just..."

"You were what Tanvi? Playing games? If you loved me you should have told me, not tried to play such dirty games with me, if you loved me you should have told me what Khushi was hiding instead of blackmailing her, so no, you don't love me, you just want me and I am never going to be with you so get lost before I lose my temper and do something I am not supposed to do!" Arnav said as he walked back inside the house, Tanvi tried to follow him but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back and slapped her.

"How dare you!" She looked at me like she would kill me right here right now.

"How dare you Tanvi! I thought you were my best friend, I freaking trusted you!"

"So did Arnav, he trusted you and what he got in return was betrayal from you, does it hurt Khushi? Getting the taste of your own medicine?"

"Oh come on, we know you dint do this to teach me a lesson but to break us up so you could get close to him."

"Yes Khushi, I did it so I could have him, because I love him."

"And I love him too Tanvi, it was his choice who he wanted to be."

"Of course, he would pick you, you were the perfect one, he always gave you more attention, he wouldn't even look at me."

"He gave me more attention because we were friends since childhood, I did so much for him."

"Yes, like talk to his mother behind his back." She rolled her eyes.

"You know what, get lost, I do not wish to see your disgusting face ever in my life, I thought our friendship drifted since Arnav left, little did I know it had come to an end." I turned around and headed back inside, I had to go back to Yug before he started doubting things.

Tanvi followed me inside but she went to Arnav's room whose door was locked, she kept on knocking at it hoping he would talk to her or something. It was upon Arnav, it was his choice whether he wanted to talk to her or not or whether he wanted to be friends with her or not, I had made mine and it was that I never ever wanted to even see her again.

"Hey." I smiled at Yug as I walked inside his room.

"Hey." He smiled back as he patted on the empty space beside him gesturing me to sit, I smiled as I walked closer and sat down.

"What's going on Khushi?" He asked.

"Nothing, why?"

"You know I am not a child, right? I can notice things. I heard some shouting outside, this house isn't soundproof and I can tell since the day we went for the dinner, there's been something odd between you and Arnav.

I just dint want to ask before because I thought it wasn't my business, but something really seems to be bothering you and I just want to help you."

"Actually, that's what I came here to talk about Yug. Arnav and I aren't strangers. We were friends, actually best friends since childhood." I smiled as all the memories played at the back of my mind.

Yug just stared at me curiously waiting for me to continue.

"We grew up together, went to college together... fell in love too."

"So why aren't you two together?"

"I did some things I shouldn't have done... I hid things from him, something really serious, so he got mad and just left. I tried to look for him everywhere I could but I couldn't find him so I got mad at him too for leaving without saying anything. A year later I decided to shift here so I could move on with life, but destiny brought me to you, and through you, I found him again."

"Wow, I don't even know what to say." Yug said.

"I know you're thinking that maybe I agreed to date you to make him jealous or something, but trust me that's not why I agreed. Even after he met me, he dint want anything to do with me Yug, I was hurt, I had been hurting all alone and I just felt like I couldn't take that pain anymore, I wanted to move on, I wanted to be free from the pain so I decided maybe it was time I left my past behind and actually moved on in life.

I agreed to date you because I liked you as a person Yug, I really do think you are a great guy and I wanted to talk to you today and tell you about everything that was between Arnav and I so I wouldn't end up hurting you like I had hurt him."

"Okay... this is a bit too much for me to take in. Can I just get some time to think of this? I'm sure you must also need some time to think on whatever conversation you were having with him outside. Let's just take time and then come on a conclusion yeah?"

"Yeah... I think that's for the best." I smiled.

Honestly, I had no idea where Arnav and I went from here, finding out Tanvi's truth didn't really change what had happened between us, the fact still remained that I hid the truth from him and he was still mad about it.

The only think it made me realize was that yes I did wrong by hiding the truth from him, but I knew that, I knew it was wrong to hide it from him, but I would have never hidden it from him if his parents dint ask me to in the first place.

I really wished he would let me explain, but he dint even want to talk to me let alone listen to my explanation. How was I supposed to make him understand that everything I did was for him, I might have picked a wrong way to do it but at the end of the day, it was him that I was thinking about.

"Can I stay with you for a while though? You don't seem well and you seem like you could use company?" I asked Yug, he smiled and nodded positively. I knew even if nothing else happened between us, we were going to be good friends and that was actually enough for me.
