Six months later...

I sat in my cabin staring at Yug who was busy in a meeting with some people, for the past six months, he had been of so much help to me, he had done everything he could to always cheer me up, keep me busy and anything else he could to keep me from thinking about the past.

Of course, it wasn't like I was going to forget about it all together but I had at least accepted it and decided not to let it bother me much, so with time I was finally at a better place.

Sometimes, I still thought about Arnav, I still missed him and wanted to see him and talk to him, but I knew it wasn't possible and I had learnt how to be okay with it.

I sighed as I looked back at my laptop and continued doing my work, if I dint have this job it wouldn't have been easier, half of the times I was busy with work that I dint even have time to think about anything and that was good for moving on right?

I hadn't really made any other friends, Tanvi had disappeared and I hadn't even seen her again, I had no idea if she was still in contact with Arnav or anything, she seemed crazily in love with him if she had to do all that she did in the past to separate us, I don't think she would have left him alone or anything.

Yug was the only friend I really had and most of the times, we were always hanging out together and life was just pretty much normal like that.

"Lunch?" Yug's voice brought me back from the thoughts.

"Weren't you just in a meeting?" I looked at him I confusion, I hadn't even realized that he was here.

"That got done, I'm hungry now, you coming? I don't feel like eating here today so I'm heading to a nearby restaurant in case you want to join."

"Yeah sure." I nodded as I grabbed my purse and my phone and followed him. In the past six months, I hadn't asked Yug even one thing about Arnav, neither had he told me. I told him I dint want to talk about him or dint want to know anything about him so that was one conversation we never had.

I wasn't sure if he still lived with Yug or even if he was still here in Mumbai as a matter of fact, I mean he had run away from me once, who knew if he had once again.

I hadn't come across him anywhere since that day, I know Mumbai is a big city but I was thinking someday we might end up bumping into each other which hadn't happened yet.

"You okay?" Yug asked as we settled down in his car.

"Yeah." I smiled, he nodded as he turned on the engine and drove us to the restaurant. I tried to brush off the thoughts about my past and concentrate on the present so that's what I did, I looked at Yug who was busy enjoying the music that was playing in the car, singing along to it and shaking his head.

In a few minutes he parked the car outside a restaurant as we both stepped out and headed inside, got ourselves a table and settled down.

I was hungry so I grabbed the menu immediately to see what I wanted to eat while Yug just looked at me, I had no idea why he was looking at me and smiling like an idiot.

"Stop staring at me, you're making me shy." I giggled.

"Well, it's hard not to stare when someone looks this beautiful." He smirked.

"Mr. Yug Raizada, are you trying to flirt?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Maybe." He bit his lips as he picked up the menu and started going through it too, I thought he just wanted to be friends? Why was he flirting again?

Once we had decided on what we wanted to eat, we called the waiter and gave him our order and he walked away immediately to get us our food.

"I hope it's quick, I'm so hungry." I smiled.

"Yeah me too." Yug smiled.

"So what was the meeting about? It took quite long than your usual meetings?" I asked.

"Just some clients, you know some have too many questions, I was bored." He laughed as I laughed along.

There was a short silence between us, I mean we usually spent most of our time together so sometime we dint really have much to say as we had already said so much to each other, but today Yug was being really strange, he was literally staring at me and making it obvious.

"What is going on in that head of yours? You've been staring at me nonstop, or is there something on my face?" I asked as I started touching it just incase there was something on it.

"Yeah." He nodded.

"What?" I asked.

"Beauty." He smirked.

"Wow, so original Yug." I rolled my eyes at him as I laughed once again.

"I've been thinking so much recently..." he said.

"About what?"

"Us... I mean I know I said I wanted us to be friends and all, and that was because I dint want to come in between you and Arnav, he is my cousin after all but since you guys made the decision to end everything and its been months now since you even contacted each other or anything... I think maybe, we can get back to where we started from." He said.

I looked at him in shock, not even surprise but shock, I wasn't expecting this from him after he said he dint want to get involved in our mess and now he had changed his mind suddenly.

"What are you trying to say Yug?" I asked.

"In simple words, I want to date you Khushi, I want to take you out on dinners, spend time with you, do a lot more with you... this past few months, trust me I've tried to just look at your as my workmate, as a friend but deep down, I still want more.

I know I said that I dint want to come between you and Arnav, but there's nothing left there and I don't really want to miss out on this chance with you Khushi, that's if you're still interested." He looked at me hopefully.

Wow! I was so confused, I mean I had obviously decided to move on in life finally, find my own happiness but so far I hadn't thought of dating anyone or even trying, everything that happened with Arnav had kind of left me a bit scared.

I dint want to make someone else important because I was scared if they left me, I wouldn't be able to handle the pain.

"I don't know Yug."

"Why Khushi, as far as I remember, the last time I asked you, you were interested, what changed your mind?"

"Everything that happened with Arnav, it had been so hard... I just don't want to feel that hurt again, what if you leave me like he did too?"

"I promise I won't. Look, you can't live your entire life in fear of getting hurt right? You two parted ways and decided to move on in life, if not today, someday in the future you would want to be with someone right? Then why can't that happen now? Just fight your fears please." He looked at me making a cute face, I mean how could I say no to that.

He was right though, Arnav and I were over, there were no hopes left whatsoever, and I knew that because in these six months he dint try to contact me or anything even once, if he had changed his mind he would definitely have, and it was time for me to stop clinging to the same old past and actually do something in life, find my happiness and maybe I could find it with Yug.

"Okay fine, if you say so." I smiled at him.

"Wait, is that a Yes?" He smiled happily.

"Yeah." I nodded as I blushed a little.

"I never thought I'd have the courage to ask you out again because I was the one that had decided otherwise, but this past six months, I just kept on feeling more and more attracted towards you, so I thought why not ask.

I promise you won't regret this, I would do everything I can to make you happy and make you feel loved and respected." He smiled.

I dint know about love really, was it easy to fall out of love with someone and fall in love with someone else? All his was easy for Yug and he wasn't in love with someone else, as for me, I was in love with Arnav, so how was this going to work? Were the feelings just going to disappear someday? And maybe come back but for Yug instead of Arnav?

Was that possible?

I guess only time would tell. I had promised to keep myself happy and mostly I was happy when I was with Yug so why not date him, maybe that would make me happier than I was.

"So I am taking you on a date tonight, a perfect, romantic official date." He smirked.

"If you say so." I giggled, okay this sounded a bit exciting, he was so happy and excited about it, it kind of made me excited too.

Let's see how it was going to turn out.
