" It has been years now that Arnav and Khushi are friends.
Arnav was 15 years old and his father has decided to send him to USA to continue his education.
"Aunty Khushi kaha hai" (Aunty where is Khushi?) Arnav asked politely as he walked into Khushi house.
"Arnav beta Khushi is in the back yard. She is waiting for you there" Mrs. Gupta as as she came out of the mandir.
Arnav smiled and started walking toward the back yard. Her back was toward him while she was swinging the swing.
"Khushi" Arnav said softly
"Don't talk to me Mr. Raizada. I am mad at you" With that khushi fasten her swing.
Arnav held the rope of the swing and stopped it.
Khushi looked at him and she knew he was angry at her now.
"You know how much I hated it when you ignore me" Arnav said while he stepped forward
"And me? You don't care what I hate the most right?" Khushi said while moving back and sat on the swing.
"You know I care about you the most"
"Lier"
"Prove it"
"Simple you would have then you wouldn't have agreed to go to USA. You know how much I will miss you" With that Khushi put her head on Arnav shoulder and made a sad face.
" Khushi I promise I will come back just for you" Arnav said as he kissed Khushi forehead
"Arnav, it's time for you to leave." Mrs. Gupta said
Arnav looked at Khushi and then at Mrs. Gupta. He could see Khushi was going to cry.
"Take care of yourself" He smiled
Khushi didn't answered back and hugged Arnav tightly not wanted him to go.
Arnav came and sat in the car with his dad and was leaving. He closed his eyes knowing Khushi must be crying right now.
When Khushi saw the car leaving, she felt a stab inside her heart and run behind the car. Her dad ran after her.
He duppata fell down but she didn't care. She slowed down when she was running out of her breath. But finally when the car was out of her reach she stopped and fell on the floor while tears with continuously running out of her eyes.
