In Love With My Best Friend Chapter 4
"If you choose not to love me; I will happily accept it because I love you"
"Who is it Arnav?" Khushi asked him innocently
"Oh it must be Lavanya. She is my college friend and she works in AR"
Khsuhi nodded in ok and smiled
She was about to leave when HP came and called them for dinner.
When they reached the dining table Mr. Raizada and Mrs. Raizada was talking about something but they were stopped when their eyes fell on Arnav and Khushi.
Arnav smiled and sat by his father while Khushi beside Arnav mom.
Mrs. Raizada looked at Mr. Raizada like wanting him to say something and that didn't go unnoticed by Arnav and Khushi.
"Dad you want to say something" He asked looking at his mother
Before Mr. Raziada could say something Mrs. Raizada spoke.
"Yes, Arnav we wanted to talk to you about your wedding"
Arnav looked at his dad and then Khushi who had stopped eating.
"Ma dad" he said looking at both of them.
"Yes Arnav. We both think it's highly time now for you to get married" said Mr. Raizada
"But da'"
"No Arnav. First time me and your dad are asking you for something and you can't even give us that?" Ms. Raizada said getting little mad.
Mr. Raizada looked at Mrs.Raizada and told her to calm down.
"You always say that and that's why he doesn't want to listen to us now"
"Arnav I think you mom is right and what's the problem with you getting ma" Before he could complete his sentence Arnav stood up from his chair.
"I am sorry mom and dad but I am not ready for marriage right now" He said and left the place leaving everyone shocked more importantly Khushi but after few second Mrs. Raizada followed Arnav to his room.
Mr. Raizada looked at Khushi who was trying her best to not to cry in front of Arnav dad.
"I will go and help HP" she said and left the dining table.
Mrs. Raizada came inside Arnav room only to find him sitting on the bad madly. She walked up to him and sat beside him.
"Arnav" She said softly making Arnav look up at her.
"Ma you know me. I feel like I need some more time to think about marriage"
"Arnav why don't you understand"
"Ma why don't you understand"
"Arnav Khushi needs you"
"Khushi?" He said softly now knowing why his mother was forcing him and for whom.
"Yes, I want to you to get married to Khushi. She has gone through a lot Arnav. After so many years I have seen a smile on her face and I can't see her crying anymore"
"Ma I am sorry but I am not ready to marry Khushi"
Mrs. Raizada stood up and looked at Arnav angrily.
"How can you say that?"
"Ma we are best friends only. I am NOT in love with her"
Before Mrs. Raizada could say anything they heard a glass broken voice right in front of Arnav room. They looked outside only to find Khushi standing there with tears in her eyes.
Khushi bend down quickly and started to pick up the broken glass.
Mrs. Raizada went to Khushi and bend down.
"Khushi what happened?"
"Nahi ma woh.."
"You go to your room I will send HP to clean this" Mrs. Raizada said that and got up she gave Arnav her angry look and left the place.
Arnav went to Khushi and started helping her up. He realized she have gotten a glass cut on her palm.
"Khushi your hurt. Let me put a bandage on it" He said taking her hand in his but she moved it back.
"Don't act like a little child. Let me do it" He said and took her in his room.
Khushi sat on the bed while Arnav went to his closet to get the first aid box.
When he came back he sat in front of Khushi and started to dress her bleeding palm while she just stared at him.
Realizing her eyes on him he looked at her.
"You love her right?" Khushi said him without any expression on her face
Arnav didn't say anything until she repeated her question again.
"It's okay. I understand. You don't have to listen to Ma and dad. They are always worrying about me when I am perfectly fine"
Arnav finished what he was doing and looked at Khushi.
"You can even lie Khushi" He said with a smile on his lips
"I am not laying Arnav. Haven't I lived without you all these years?" Khushi asked moving her hand away from him.
"You have bu.." Before he could say anything else Khushi got up.
"Then you got your answer Arnav. I can live without in the future too.
Khushi was about to leave the room when Arnav got up from the bed and held her waist making her turn and hit his chest hard.
