"you are indeed a wild cat"

"how many nicknames will you give me?"

"as much as I can..."

Arnav stopped moving and clutched her hands. Khushi twisted her hands in an attempt of releasing her hands from his clutch.

"Hey, Jerry mouse, stop fighting... Doctors are coming from China to treat Payal"

Khushi stopped struggling.

"From China?"

Arnav nodded yes.

"For acupressure treatment"

"Will it work?"

"Her doctors think so"

"Have the Chinese doctors agreed?"

"Mmm"

"When are they coming?"

"Tomorrow..."

"Thank you" she smiled.

She tried to tuck her hair that fell on her forehead. That was when she sensed her hands were in Arnav's clutch. She pulled her hands back making Arnav smile. She moved back. Then only she saw NK looking at them. She smiled at him awkwardly. NK smiled contently.

"Do you know doctors are coming from China ..." She asked, composing herself.

"Yeah, I know," NK said.

"Yeah... You should have known..." She stammered.

"Why do you come here, Khushi? Anything do you want to say?" NK asked.

"I just come to get some books... I'm getting bored"

"But these are science fiction. You know that"

"Yeah... But what can I do? I have no choice right?"

"You have... You have your mobile in your hand... There are many reading apps available in google store..."

"Oh yeah... How did I forget that?" She grinned like an idiot.

NK smiled at her.

"I'm going... I will download a good app and will start reading it"

She walked to the exit and stopped.

"Will you call me when the doctors come?" She asked Arnav.

He nodded ok.

"Thanks" she smiled at him and left the place.

Arnav stood smiling.

"What's the matter Nannav? You started playing with Khushi, like a young man?"

"What do you mean young man? I'm indeed a young man"

"But, you didn't play like this when you were so young?"

Arnav chuckled.

"Just to make her relax... Just to keep her brisk... She is in grief, yaar..."

"But, it seems she had fallen for you..."

"Oh, shut up... Didn't you see, how she fights with me?"

"At the same time, she looks comfortable with you"

"She looks comfortable with you too... Doesn't she?"

"Not more than with you..."

Arnav raised his brows contently.

"Don't disappoint her if you don't want to marry her. Don't break her heart after giving her hope..."

Cutting him,
