Flashback continues

Arnav: What Viraj? But... Okay, wait a second.

He gives a call to Viraj

Arnav: Tu kaha hai jaha bhi abhi ki abhi basket ball court me aaja.(Where are you? Wherever you are, come in the basketball court right now)

Viraj: Bhai par hua kya. ( Bro, But what happened?)

Arnav: Kuch puchna hai. (Want to ask something)

Viraj: Achha aata hu ruk. (Okay I am coming wait)

Viraj comes after some time.

Viraj: Haan bol kya hua? Then notices Khushi. Hi Khushi..(Ya, say what happened)

Arnav: Tune ise kya bola.( What did you say to her?)

Viraj: Hi bola aur kya ( I said Hi what else)

Arnav: Mai abhi ki baat ni kar raha.Tune isse kaha ki mai peeta hu.( I am not asking you about now. You told her that I drink)

Viraj in a thinking mode: When

Khushi: Jab aap uss din hume ghar chor rahe the tab aapne kaha tha na.( When that day you dropped me)

Viraj: Oh! yep. Haan to maine jhut nahi bola yeh pita hai. In fact sabhi pite hai mai bhi, tum bhi( Yes, I never lied he drinks, in fact, everyone drinks, I drink Even you drink)

Khushi: Hum nahi pite ( I don't drink)

Viraj: Tum nahi peeti to phir zinda kese ho. Yar pani to sabhi ko pina padta hai ( What you don't drink? Then How are you alive? Everyone needs to drink water)

Khushi: Par (But)

Arnav looked at Viraj and then Viraj at Arnav. And then both started laughing holding their stomach.

Arnav came to Viraj and hit him lightly on his head.

Arnav: Tu isi ke maze le raha tha beta Prank.Ruk ja mai baatau tujhe ( You were playing a prank with her. Stop I will tell you)

And with that Viraj started running and Arnav ran behind him to hit him. Khushi also smiled looking at the two. So it was just a prank.

They stopped with their fun fight.

Viraj: I am sorry Khushi. I was just joking.

Arnav: Kya sorry. Usne itna seriously le liya ki literally meko Ignore kar rahi thi vo. ( What sorry. She took this so seriously that she was literally ignoring me)

Viraj: Oh! I Never took it this way. Khushi actually nor Arnav neither me drink, we all are clean. It was just a prank.

Khushi: That's okay.

Well, Viraj tried but failed to create misunderstanding. After this, he tried n no. of times to even fill Arnav's ears too but he never paid heed.

One day Arnav was sitting alone. Viraj called him but looked like he was lost somewhere. Viraj came and sat next to him.

Viraj: Buddy! What's on your mind?

Arnav: When did you come?

Viraj: Just now when you were busy in your own world. Tell me what is it?

Arnav: Nothing?

Viraj: Thik hai mat bata. (Okay as you wish don't tell)

Arnav: Viraj, she proposed me today. I don't know what to answer her.

Viraj: Whom are you talking about? Khu.. shi...?

Arnav: Yes Khushi.

Viraj: You like her?

Arnav: I don't know.

Viraj: See Arnav I think it's her infatuation. You know this age and do you think you have time for all this. It is your career time. Love and all they act as a distraction. Think about it then only decide.

Arnav: I think you are right it is her infatuation.

The next day when Arnav meets Khushi he tells her that he is not interested. And he feels nothing for her but takes her as a friend.

Arnav: Khushi, I am sorry.

Khushi: That's okay. I totally get it. No Arnav you don't have to be sorry about it. It is not necessary that every feeling is mutual.

Viraj was listening to the two. Looks like this time his words worked on Arnav.

After this Arnav and Khushi talked rarely. Only when they had work they were friends still but there was an awkwardness now.

This gave Viraj a chance he tried to fill Khushi's ear too he told her that Arnav is a selfish person who thinks just about her career. And give no damn to her feeling. But Khushi can never take it to her heart. She told Viraj that he is not selfish. And it is not bad to think about the career.

Its almost one month after Khushi's confession. Viraj and Arnav were in the corridor. Khushi was passing from there too. When Arnav said "Khushi can we meet after college?"

Khushi: Arnav I ...

Arnav: Please Khushi don't deny.

Khushi: Okay I will come. In the college canteen?

Arnav: Yeah.

Khushi went away.

Viraj: Bhai kya hua? ( Bro what happened? )

Arnav: Mene ek mahine me kafi socha aur realise kiya ki yeh uski infatuation nahi hai aur na hi meri. Yeh attraction se kuch jyada hai. Mai uske bina nahi reh sakta.( I thought a lot about it in this one month and realized that neither it's her infatuation nor mine. It's more than mere attraction. I can't even think to live without her)

Viraj: Toh? (Then?)

Arnav: I am going to tell her today that I love her. Bohot ho gaya door rehna. Aur jaha tak career ki baat hai vo mera distraction nahi hai.Vo mere liya focus hai. Vo mujhe nayi hopes deti hai, ek baar apne liye na sahi lekin uske liye mai kuch karna chahta hoon, mene dekha hai uski aankhon me humesha vo sapna jo mera hai par usne use jyada jiya hai. Meri har khushi me mujh se jyada khush vo hoti hai. Yeh attraction nahi hai Viraj. (I am going to tell her today that I love her. Enough of staying away. And thinking about the career she is not a distraction. She is my focus. She gives me new hopes, for once I may not do something for myself but I want to do it for her. I have seen in her eyes, those dreams which are mine but she has lived them more than me. In my every happiness she is happier than me. That's not attraction Viraj)
