"Wow, you both have really improved I must say." Ruhaan applauded.

"Just the landing needs to be perfect, except that everything is perfect." Riza commented.

Arnav and Khushi smiled brightly at each other listening to the positive comments.

"Thank you" Both of them mumbled.

"So the budding friendship really did wonders huh" Riza bit her lips while teasing them while they were in utter shock hearing her.

They were practicing it for almost a week and still zero progress. And now when they were friends they were actually to do it in just one day of being comfortable with each other.

Was she right?

Brushing off the nonsense questions from their minds, they took leave from the choreographer couple and headed out.

"Lunch?" Arnav asked rather casually this time.

"No, thanks. I have to go home." Khushi replied --not wanting to be but actually being sad about missing the opportunity to lunch with him again.

"Why? You aren't attending evening classes?" He asked, surprised because he has never seen Khushi bunking lectures in his whole college lofe until now.

Khushi chuckled at his reaction knowing very well the reason behind it. "Arrey tomorrow is Meera's interview, remember? So she is freaking out like anything because of stress. I will go and help her with the questions and stuff and try to calm her down."

"Oh is it?" He asked with an idea popping up in his head "I can help you with that."

"You? How?"

"Instead of allowing me to go on a holiday every summer vacation, my Dad took me to his office for some "experience" ." He said acting the double quotation while saying 'experience'. "So most of the time I was with Aman who used to conduct the low level interviews so I know."

Khushi chuckled looking at the poor guy's face.

"Hass lo meri baddkismati me Khushi Gupta mera bhi dinn aaega." He said narrowing his eyes and shaking his head.

"Achhaa sorry. But you don't have to do this. You have already done a lot of favours to us and I don't want you to leave the lectures just because of me." She said not wanting one more favour from him which she cannot return.

"Ohh please cut the crap Khushi. We are friends and I am happy to help you. And if you are sooo into this formality or favours and all then well you can give me a dinner party after Meera gets the job, what say?" He asked looking curiously at her hoping for a positive reply.

"But Arnav..." She was about to deny

"Well okay. I see you don't consider me as your friend as of now. Its okay I am sorry for being too intrusive in your life." He said being dramatically emotional.

"What? No no. I didn't mean that I swear. You can come to my place whenever you want" She said feeling guilty.

Arnav couldn't bear the laughter bubbling up inside him. This woman really cannot see his drama. And finally he let out a hard chuckle making Khushi confused.

"What" She asked scrunching her eyebrows.

"You are so cute aww. I was doing drama to emotionally blackmail you" He said and then burst into laughter not able to hold it amymore.
