Note : This is no more a one shot.. but a short story which might be 3 or 4 shots in all...

Dedicated to all those who comment on my stories regularly...

Stuck for hours, she looked through the window panes and assumed that in an hour or two the first floor of the building might already be dug under the snow... While the other people were left completely worried of the stormy weather, the girl in casual blue jeans, pullover and long boots, had no signs of worry.. With her long black silky hairs her big shining eyes and fair skin she could be called Snow White.. A smile curved on her lips as she thought “after all there’s no better place than a library for a literature student to die”. And she opened her diary.. A pen in her right hand while she let her left elbow resting on the table..

11th January 2014

She wrote....

It happened a decade ago... 2004, January... the 11^th..

There was this huge success party in Gupta mansion... The venture between the two most powerful businessmen of London.. The Raizada and The Gupta extended their hands towards each other for a compromise.. Two enemies had put aside their differences and they decided to help each other.. As without each other, both powerful businessmen might have lost their empires... And further down the corridors of the mansion, there was this girl in her room.. Lonely and silent... the daughter of Mr Sashi Gupta.. Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta, the only heiress of Gupta empire.. Beautiful like her mother was... Sitting in front of the mirror, the maids brushed her hairs as she observed her pale face.. Her mother died only few weeks before and today the words of her father pierced her heart.. “ Forget the dead ones”... Mr. Gupta was a severe, strict father but never so rock hearted.. He changed... Death of his wife changed him for the worst.. And as usual Khushi would have to suppress her sorrows and joined into the merry of her businessman father who shows to the world that he is a strong heartless man but in reality he was broken... The maid adjusted the diamond crown on Khushi’s head.. She tried to smile at her reflection but in vain.. A royal theme and the heiress was expected to be the princess of the night... Her gaze went searching a glimpse of her mother.. She grabbed the picture from the dressing table and a light smile appeared on her face as she remembered the laughter of her mother.. Taking a breath, she placed back the picture on the dressing table when in no time a violent breeze caused it to fly away through the open window.. Khushi jerked up and fear took over her.. This was the last picture clicked of her mother.. A few days before the accident.. The last time she heard the laughter of her mother.. the most radiant laughter... “the last one” , she thought... Khushi ran out of the room hurriedly and headed to the illuminated lawn... Ignoring any salutations, Khushi searched nervously for the picture.. Worry lines on her forehead.. Her tears threatened to fall.. Pairs of eyes staring at her beauty.. But she herself had no idea how beautiful she was.. till suddenly.. She felt a tap on her shoulders.. Slowly she turned.. Their eyes met.. His intense gaze drowned into the pure beauty of her innocence.. And she felt strangely different..

The princess outfit...

The prince outfit...

Teaser

It happened a decade ago...

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, 
Oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you...

OS: Sparkles of New Year's Eve

Location (fictional)

OS: Sparkles of New Year's Eve

Only few hours to strike twelve & A new year coming again.. Happiness and laughter echoing into the oldest and very famous bar of Hilton Village.. The live music band at the front side while some of the crowd occupied the dancing floor.. Friends drinking.. Couples enlaced... A bloc note in her hands, her hairs tied into two thick braids, Khushi walked to the bartender and asked...

Khushi: You called for me Bryan??

Bartender: Yes, table 6!

Khushi: Right away!

In her barmaid uniform, Khushi turned towards the tables.. A glance at the band and she smiled at the singer who winked at her.. Don Williams was one of her favorite singer and though he was of the age of her father, after several time that he performed in the bar, they became good friends.. As she reached table 6, she asked smilingly..

Khushi: Your order sir!

One of the 4 guys, a middle-aged man lifted his eyes.. He smiled back at Khushi as he said casually..

Table 6 Customer: Just 4 large beers.. and a taste of your rosy lips..

On the spot, Khushi's eyes shot wide open.. and she boiled in anger while the 4 guys burst out laughing..And she replied in a serious tone..

Khushi: 4 large beers.. I guess that should be all.. Excuse me!

And she walked away.. As she reached the bar, she burst out in anger in front of her best friend, Bonnie!

Khushi: I wish I could add loads of peppers into their beers.. bloody cheapo..

Bonnie, also known as the sexiest barmaid of the locality, she stared at Khushi in confusion...

Bonnie: Hey hey relax.. it's new year's eve Khush.. don't exert your nerves too much sweetie!

Khushi: I cannot believe this, just because we wear those stupid uniforms that doesn't make us bloody prostitutes..

Bonnie: Well sweetie.. I'm telling you again.. Get used to it.. This is the destiny of barmaids.. No prince charming will visit us.. Only cheap, dirty and horrible smelled bikers..

One of the 4 guys looked at bonnie and called her out loud...

Table 6 Customer: Hey Bonnie!

Bonnie faked a smile as she waved to them.. and she said to Khushi..

Bonnie: And we have no choice other than behaving as prostitutes.. if we want to live.. that's life!

Bonnie set her dress correctly and pushed up her breasts making her appear even more sexy.. She took the tray with the 4 beers from the counter and walked towards the table while Khushi stared at her sadly as she mumbled to herself..

Khushi: yeah, that's life!

And she nodded to herself.. When suddenly.. A husky voice caught her attention.. from the extremity of the counter.. sitting on the bar stool, sipping into hot coffee.. Wearing a blue jacket and casual jeans... A young yet undeniably hot guy said without even shifting his gaze towards Khushi...

Guy: Life is full of surprises! We never know when the table of destiny might turn into one's favor!

Khushi: Excuse me!

The guy finally turned his eyes towards Khushi.. And for a second, she felt hypnotized.. She pierced into his eyes.. Never ever before she felt so much intensity from someone's one look.. Her reverie broke when he said..

Guy: Don't you think so??

Khushi slowly walked towards him.. She stood by the counter in front of him.. and she replied boldly..

Khushi: Not really Sir! Miracles are just fake stories in the house of the poor ones.. Are you new here??

A lopsided grin formed on his face.. and he said teasingly..

Guy: Why? Don't I look like one of you??

Khushi: No, actually I mean.. I never saw you here before.. and of course.. even if this is also a caf cum bar but since years of service, I can assure you that you are the first one who ordered coffee.. and that too on a new year's eve!

Guy: Well you've guess right then.. I've drove like hours to reach here..

Khushi glared at the guy inquisitively as she laid her arms on the counter..

Khushi: Hours? I never realized our bar was so famous..

Guy: Well not really.. I took the road without knowing where it's taking me...

Khushi let a chuckle and said..

Khushi: Are you crazy or a nomad??

The guy laid his arms crossed on the counter and they flicked Khushi's arms..

ASR: What do you think Miss..?

Khushi: Khushi??

Guy: What do you think Miss Khushi??

Khushi: Well I think that you should go back and spend new year's eve with your family.. only lucky ones have such chances!

Guy: And how can you be sure that there is a family waiting for me! I might be a nomad after all!

A smile curved on her lips..

Khushi: Branded jacket, tight jeans.. and upon that a down to earth good looking guy! No chance.. I'm sure your parents must be waiting for you desperately..

Guy: As well as an over possessive so called fiance!

Suddenly Khushi felt an unknown prick at her heart but instantly she ignored it and exclaimed..

Khushi: Oh! Then you must eventually rush back Mr...

Guy: ASR.. you can call me ASR!

Khushi: ASR! Unusual name.. but nice..

ASR smirked and took another sip of his coffee which already turned cold by now.. and then said..

ASR: By the way, I like your honesty.. Down to earth good looking guy.. Never ever someone described me in such descriptive words.. You got style.. What is a girl like you doing in this bar??

Khushi: Rent of a room with a tiny attached bathroom and of course food for survival.. The problem of many in this world..

ASR: Oh I see.. can I be of any help.. I'll be glad!

Khushi: And can I know why will you be helping a stranger??

ASR: Well for your company.. I hate spending new year alone.. If it was not for mum, then I'd still be in London enjoying with friends!

Khushi: And what about the fiance?

ASR: Not the fiance, just the chosen girl of my father.. which only gives her the title of my father's daughter in law! But not for long..

Khushi looked at him in surprise..

Khushi: What do you mean?

ASR: Well in short, I have experience..

Khushi: Experience??

ASR: At breaking, the alliances of my father.. It's damn fun!

Khushi: Alliance, you call your engagement alliances!

ASR: That's what it is.. See I'll explain.. My wedding is kind of a business for him.. He sees both profits and loss.. Two affluent people meet.. talk.. share their views.. and by the end of the meeting if profits overcome loss.. "Congratulations my son is marrying your daughter"...

Khushi appeared to be quite amused as she said teasingly..

Khushi: Seems like a risky business..

ASR: Don't worry, I've already broke two alliances in the previous years... this one is going to be my third one..

Suddenly, Bryan called out from far..

Bryan: Khushi, new customers, table 1!

Khushi nodded to the bartender and excused herself from ASR..

Khushi: Excuse Me!

She stepped out from behind the counter and was passing by ASR when all of a sudden Bonnie bumped into her deliberately and she fell into the arms of ASR.. Their eyes met while Don Williams began singing Khushi's favorite song..

First I get cold, then hot
Think I'm on fire, but I'm not
Oh, what a pain I've got
It must be love

She was idled.. The arms of ASR holding her waist tight... She felt so tempted.. After all how can one resist to such a seductive man.. His cologne drove her crazy..

There's nothing I can do
All that I want is you
Look what I'm going through
It must be love

She bite her lips in nervousness.. The proximity made her felt so restless.. She thought that she might just kiss him openly if he delayed in doing so! What was this?? The chemistry was so intense.. But then.. reality shattered everything.. How stupid she was.. This guy seemed to come from some greek god family.. and she.. was just a barmaid.. Khushi finally got back her senses and she tried to straightened her body.. As she stood back on her feet, ASR asked in concern..

ASR: Are you ok?

Khushi replied with a stern look...

Khushi: I'm fine, excuse me!

CHORUS:
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream, I've been dreamin' of
Oh what a feeling, it must be love

ASR was unable to look elsewhere.. His eyes followed her expressions... The way she stood.. The way she talked.. that cute gesture when she pushed her hair lock behind her ears..

Something is wrong alright
I think of you all night
Can't sleep til morning light
It must be love

She was something, he thought..

Seeing you in my dreams
Holding you close to me
Oh what else can it be
It must be love

Hours passed by.. They talked.. they laughed.. they learned about each other, trying to be friends while ignoring those feelings.. ASR found out a lot about her.. The barmaid was after all a very intelligent girl.. Someone who deserved better in life.. A strong girl with an innocent heart who secretly dreams of prince charming..

CHORUS:
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream, I've been dreamin' of
Oh what a feeling, it must be love

As the music came to an end, ASR and Khushi looked towards Don Williams as he announced...

Don Williams: Ok Folks.. it's nearly twelve.. so get to your love ones.. and let's begin the countdown.. 10.. 9..

Khushi stared at the crowd with a faint smile on her face..

Crowd and Don Williams: 8.. 7.. 6..

And all this time, ASR's eyes were all for Khushi.. He didn't miss the sadness written on her face.. And slowly he brought his hands on hers which brought her back to reality.. Khushi looked into his eyes as ASR repeated with the crowd..

5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

Crowd: Happy New Year..

As the clock strikes twelve, ASR leaned towards Khushi.. and cupping her face, he took her lips into a tender kiss.. No rush.. just a kiss.. a gentle one.. the kiss she waited for years.. And when he finally pulled back, he said in a low yet clear voice..

ASR: Happy New Year Khushi!

It took her few seconds to deal with reality.. and when she got her senses back.. she stuttered..

Khushi: Happy New Year..

Arnav smirked as Khushi kept on staring at him.. The bar was in joy.. Everyone wishing everyone.. It was happy time.. Bonnie ran to Khushi and jumped to her neck excitedly as she yelled out..

Bonnie: Happy New Year!

Khushi looked towards Bonnie, and hugged her tight as she wished her back..

Khushi: Happy New Year Bonnie..

Looking towards ASR, and then back to Khushi, she winked at her.. Khushi blushed as she realized that Bonnie saw them kissing.. And when bonnie walked away...

ASR: Ohh you blush also.. that's news!

Khushi touched her red cheeks and grimaced as ASR teased her.. Suddenly a man rushed inside the bar and approached ASR.. He tapped on the back of ASR and the latter turned to him.. While Khushi looked at them out of curiosity, ASR asked to the man..

ASR: What are you doing here?

Man: The King wants to meet you!

At the name of the king, Khushi's mouth went wide open and her eyes popped out...

ASR: You go, I'll come!

Man: Ok..

The man walked out and ASR turned back to Khushi disappointedly.. His heart pained to let go of her now.. but he had to go.. else how will he come back for her.. as it was indeed obvious that he lost his heart to that innocent looking girl and her crazy talks.. But before he could utter a word, Khushi said...

Khushi: Don't tell me as new year's gift, you get to meet the king?

A grin formed on his face and he said..

ASR: Not exactly...

Khushi: So?

ASR: Actually my ruthless father happens to be the king of Trotia Village!

Khushi's breath stopped on the spot and her eyes shot open in shock.. and she said with great difficult..

Khushi: A.S.R! you..you.. ar.. are.. Arnav Singh Raizada.. No I'm Sorry.. I mean.. Prince Arnav Singh Raizada! You mean the prince of trotia kissed me.. the.. barmaid!

And ASR replied..

ASR: Exactly..

While ASR stared at Khushi in amusement.. His eyes popped out, when he realized that if he doesn't react on the spot, then this crazy girl would definitely passed out.. Instantly he held Khushi's arms and pulled her to him.. His lips found hers and he kissed her violently waking her from any reverie... He then pulled back and let her take a deep breath before asking..

ASR: Fine now??

Khushi nodded a yes indecisively!

ASR: Good! I'll come back for you.. Right now I have to go.. My father is going to have a double shock.. I like you Miss Khushi.. and..

Khushi: And..

ASR: Wait for me..

Khushi: And...

Arnav smirked at her nervousness as well as her insistence to know exactly what she is getting into..

ASR: And I think I have lost my heart somewhere.. By the way, my mobile number is on your bar counter..

Arnav winked at her and turned away.. Khushi stared at his retreating back till he reached the door while repeating to herself..

Khushi: If he turns back, he will come back.. if he turns back, he will come back.. please please turn.. please

And suddenly her face broke into a wide smile as Arnav waved to her one last time before walking out.. As soon as he disappeared, Khushi almost threw everything on the counter till finally she found the business card of ASR laid in a corner of the counter..  

A.S.R - Arnav Singh Raizada

Private Number: xxx

And Khushi jumped in excitement cherishing Arnav's card as she exclaimed..

Khushi: I found my prince!

Arnav Singh Raizada is my prince..

A Real Prince.. My heart is beating for the real prince!

Dhak Dhak Dhak...

A shining smile on her face she yelled out to the crowd as she lifted her champagne laughingly...

Khushi: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.. wooohhhooo.. Cheers

For the first time of her life, she felt alive.. happy and not lonely.. She too can have someone.. Her prince came after all...

~THE END~

I WISH EVERY ARSHI FANS A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014... MAY THE YEAR BRINGS LOADS OF HAPPINESS NEW EXPERIENCES AND NEW FRIENDS..

ALL THE BEST!!!

TS: The One That Got Away - Part 2

Author's Note

Sorry Guys.. This has been updated since very long on india forum.. But I've been very late to update here...

Part 2

Three Hours Later...

Khushi looked into the mirror, irritated.. It was the 5^th time she was trying to zip up her dress but in vain.. And she signed! She stared at her reflection, feeling defeated.. She failed in love, she thought! And suddenly she saw her door pushed open.. Her eyes shot open at the reflection of the mirror.. Her heart sunk in pain as she stared into the eyes of Arnav... In his black formal one piece suit, Arnav walked to Khushi and halted behind her.. Without breaking his gaze off her eyes, he brought his hands to her back and gently pulled the zip up.. Meanwhile a lonely tear rolled down her cheeks.. She was helpless as much as he was! And she lowered her gaze, defeated! Few seconds later Khushi lifted her eyes when she felt his hands on her neck.. Arnav pushed away her long silky hairs revealing her butterfly tattoo and brought a beautiful  necklace to adorned her neck... The same pearl necklace which she returned him back before going forever from his life... Khushi could not stopped herself from touching those pearls.. She brought her hands on them and closed her eyes.. Those pearls back onto her neck.. It felt like something amiss since the last few years.. And she knew she would not be able to tell him to take it back again.. This was the last thing that would remain with her till death... 

 

Her teary eyes pierced into Arnav's intense look and Arnav lowered his chin brushing his lips on her tattoo.. Khushi closed her eyes as she uttered.. "Arnav".. But he interrupted her.. "Ssshhh.., don't say a word Khushi..." Her heart too heavy to handle.. Tears rolling down her cheeks and a faint smile curved on her lips as she thought of the day they got this tattoo.. She wanted a tattoo like him.. she was so scared.. But stubborn as she was, Khushi had planted her nails into Arnav's skin as the tattooist marked her skin.. Gosh she was so happy to have matching tattoo with her love, her life, her Arnav.. When she finally opened her eyes from the past, Arnav had moved and was standing in front of her.. His gaze was fixed into her eyes while his one hand went searching for her wrists.. He held her right hand and gently brought it to his lips without breaking the eye lock... And he kissed the back of her hand with all his love.. While it was impossible for Khushi to hold back her tears, Arnav struggled hard not to break in front of her.. He was here to support her, he had to be strong.. And he said.. " Khushi, this is the right decision.. Whatever we've done was for our owns!, Right? " And Khushi nodded a yes.. Arnav brought his hands to his vest's pocket and took out an object.. A CD! He placed the cd on the dressing table and smiled faintly when Khushi followed his movements.. He brought his hands to her cheeks and wiped off her tears as he said.. " Get ready, I'll be waiting downstairs". He walked away and as his back was facing Khushi, he wiped off the one tear which finally rolled down his cheeks.. Though strong, but after all he was giving away his life forever.. He walked along the corridors, rushed down the stairs and stepped out of the house... Khushi took the CD from the dressing table and inserted it into the CD player.. And there it was! She closed her fists into her dress as she listened.. The music.. Their voices.. Never thought that a song that they recorded into the music room of Arnav for fun would actually turned out to be the truth of their existence...

   

The one...

The one...

The one...

That Got Away...

Summer after high school, when we first met

We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead

And on my eighteenth birthday, We got matching tattoos

Khushi looked into the mirror.. She admired her tattoo, her necklace.. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath pushing away her tears.. She had to be strong.. A fake smile curved on her lips, she opened her make up kit..

Grabbed a bunch of blankets and climb to the roof

Talk about our future like we had a clue

Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

Standing by the car, waiting for Khushi.. Arnav leaned his body against the car.. He admired the beautiful house..With beautiful memories flashing into his mind.. Khushi.. Khushi.. And only Khushi.. Her smile.. Her naughtiness which he was the only one aware of.. Her beautiful red nose.. Her sexy mood.. Her innocent pout..

And Suddenly...

In another life,

 I would be your girl

We'd keep all our promises,

Be us against the world

She appeared.. Standing at the door.. In a beautiful dress.. A bouquet in her hands... Slowly she lifted her gaze to the mesmerized Arnav and walked nervously towards him...

In another life,

 I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

Arnav was unable to tear his gaze off her.. She was out of this world.. The most beautiful soul of this universe.. And her trembling voice.. " Granny" and he replied.. "She left with La.." Khushi lowered her eyes and Arnav opened the backseat door for her.. He took the bouquet from her and helped her to enter the car...

The one that got away

They shared a last glance and he closed the door.. Arnav got into the passenger seat and ordered the driver to go..

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash

Never one without the other

We made a pact

Sometimes when I miss you,

I put those records on

During the drive, Khushi constantly stared at the beautiful greenery on their way.. She let a breath and rested her head to the seat...

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown, singing the blues

It's time to face the music,

I'm no longer your muse

Arnav shifted his gaze to the side view mirror...

In another life,

you would be my girl

We'd keep all our promises,

Be us against the world

He stared at the reflection of Khushi.. Feeling defeated.. All he felt at this instant was to grab her hands and ran away.. 

In another life,

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

Khushi lifted her eyes.. And looked at him.. Without a blink..

The one that got away

Their trance broke when the car suddenly came to an halt.. Arnav stepped out and opened the door for Khushi..

The ooo-one (x3)

And she stepped out.. Shifting her nervous gaze from Arnav to the church.. The one she dreamed once to get married into.. With Arnav..  But fate decided something else...And he said.. "Khushi" signing her towards his arms.. She passed her arms around his and both entered the church.. Khushi looked straight ahead as they walked towards the altar.. La and Granny stood at the front watching their beautiful Khushi.. Indeed she was the most beautiful bride of this world.. As they reached the altar, Khushi turned her eyes to Arnav.. She wanted to say something.. Anything! But... Her words never came.. She watched helplessly when Arnav gave her hand to NK.and smiled faintly before walking away...

That got away

The bride and groom turned to face the priest while Arnav sat back into the seat between granny and La..

All this money can't buy me a time machine

Nooo

Can't replace you with a million rings

Nooo

Arnav closed his eyes while his mind drove back to the worst day of his life.. When his father threw a newspaper in front of his eyes... And the tagline.. " Poor Orphan Trapped Rich Son" with a photo of Khushi and Arnav kissing.. He remembered the fire in his eyes.. The disgust he had for his father when the latter said.. "This is tomorrow's edition.. Not yet published... Just think about it.. This venture will be profitable for both of us.. Your future.. The rich lifestyle you are used to while this picture is the destruction of this girl.. It's up to you son.."

*****

I should have told you what you meant to me, whoa

Cause now I pay the price

"It's up to you.. Arnav is used to such a lifestyle.. What do you think? Will he be able to live up only by your love.. You are destroying my son's life Miss Gupta.. And your best friend? You said Miss Kashyap is like your sister.. You will be destroying both their lives.. Few days without money and my son will run back to me.. Leave my son or i'll disowned him.. He will lose whatever belongs to him.. And you will be the cause of his every misery!" And Khushi opened her eyes as the words of the priest brought her back to reality.. " Do you Khushi Kumari Gupta take Nanda Kishore to be your legally wedded husband?"

****

In another life,

I (you) would be your(my) girl

We'd keep all our promises,

be us against the world

In another life,

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say you were

The one that got away

The one that got away

And Khushi walked back towards the door of the church, at the arms of NK.. She could see the smile on everyone's face, her granny, La.. Her eyes searched for Arnav but in vain.. He was nowhere to be seen.. And as she stepped out of the church, her eyes fell on Arnav, standing next to the car.. Unconsciously she let go of NK's arms and walked towards Arnav..  And she said... " Why? Why you found someone for me if you have no guts to hear me saying yes for someone else." He smiled and replied.. " I'm human Khushi.. And this is unbearable.. But deep inside.. I know NK will keep you happy.. Else I would have never allow you to reach this altar.. I'll always be the perfect one for you Khushi.. But we both loved each other so much that we chosen separate ways.. But I promised.. Next life you are only mine.." and he extended his right hand as he said.. " promise me khushi.. In another life, we'll fight for each other..." Her tears threatened to fall.. " Don't Khushi.. Don't cry.. I want you to be happy.. Because if you smile, if you laugh.. Wherever I am in this world.. I'll be smiling and laughing with you.." Khushi pushed away his hands as she fell into his arms.. " I promise Arnav.. I promise.. I'll be happy for you...!" And she pulled back.. Looking into his eyes, she said.. " Wherever I go.. I'll always feel your presence.. Your heart.. Your friendship will always be with me.. Always!"

I Love You.. Always, Arnav!

I Love You.. Always, Khushi!

The ooo-one (way) (x3)

The one that got away

THE END
