But now... I'm just doing it anyway

Arnav and Khushi are friends, Best friends to be precise... Not even a day of their lives started without each others' good morning, Khushi

Arnav's place

"Arnav... Its her birthday" Karan informed Arnav

"I know... " Arnav smiled

"Arnav Singh Raizada... At least Call her" Rishabh said

"Hmm" Arnav said

The boys gave Arnav a "You're Impossible" Look

"What?" Arnav asked looking at the two boys glaring at him

"Arnav.... Kya lagta hai tujhe, Humse Chupa sakta hai tu? Pichle 6 mahine se tujhe junior students ko help karne ka jo shaunk charha hai... Tujhe kya lagta hai pata nahi humein kya chal raha hai?? (Arnav... What do you think... You can hide things from us?? For the last 6 months... The way you are always ready to help junior students... Do you think we don't understand what's going on??" Sid asked

Arnav smiled sheepishly

"Toh Kuch socha hai tune?? (You've thought of something??)" Karan asked excitedly

"Haan... But I don't know yaar... What if she doesn't reciprocate??" Arnav asked

"Lagta toh nahi naa karegi (I don't think she'll refuse)" Sid observed

"Well... Where did that come from?" Karan asked confused

"She's decent Sid... Agar tu yeh soch raha hai ki woh Raizadas ka naam sunkar haan kahegi... Toh you're wrong(She's decent Sid... If you're thinking she'll agree for the name of the Raizadas, you're wrong)" Arnav said

"That's not what I meant Arnav... I meant.. That she likes you... I mean, Whenever you guys are together... There's a different kind of satisfaction on her face... She's happy whenever you're with her. I don't see a reason why she'd refuse you" Sid explained

"So... You said you've planned something?" Karan asked

"Um... Yeah, I have. But I need your help" Arnav said

"Anything" Sid and Karan said together

"Okay... So Sid, Call Roshni and tell her to meet you in five minutes outside my place. I'm giving you a packet, Teri zimmedari hai... Woh packet Khushi ko mil jaaye (It's your responsibility that the packet should reach Khushi)" Arnav said

"Done" Sid said and called his girlfriend

"Karan... I've ordered a cake for her.. Please please get it from the bakery" Arnav requested Karan

"Aye Aye Captain" Karan mocked

Khushi's Place

Khushi was pacing the lengths of her room repeatedly looking at the watch she was now wearing. A birthday present from her brother

"Arnav... At least Call me... Don't you remember it's my birthday" Khushi whispered looking at her phone for any missed calls or messages

"It's just 8 Khush... He'll have a lot of time... The day isn't going to end just with the blink of an eye" Her mind mocked her

"Khushi... Your friend Roshni is here.. Come downstairs baby" Arjun called

"Coming Bhai" Khushi answered

She ran downstairs to meet her best friend (After Arnav)

"Hi... Roshni" Khushi beamed at her

"Hello Birthday Girl... Happy birthday Princess" Roshni greeted

"Thanks... Come Na sit, What shall I get you? Coffee... Tea... Juice... Snacks?" Khushi asked

"Don't be formal baby... I'm perfectly fine without any of those things" Roshni Khushi noticed a box in Roshni's hands

"My gift... Is that?" Khushi asked eyeing the box

"Oh, Yeah.. It's a gift, But not from me. Tere doosre best friend ne bheja hai tere liye(Your other best friend has sent this for you)" Roshni said

"Arnav ne? Really!" Khushi said all excited

"Yeah... Sid gave it to me... He told me to deliver this to you. I think your Arnav is upto something... Though Sid doesn't know anything about it... We're just imagining yet" Roshni said

"Hmm... Come in baba... Let's open this" Khushi said

"No... Sorry babe, I need to leave right now, We'll catch up later" Roshni said

"But... " Khushi said

"No ifs no buts baby doll... Bye see ya later" Roshni said and practically ran out of the house

Khushi rolled her eyes and took the packet to her room

She unwrapped the packet

A card was lying on top of a box

"Happy birthday princess" written on it

A letter was lying beside the box

"Happy birthday Princess

You're probably mad at me... I know... I haven't called yet, But I'm busy... Apne best friend ke birthday ko special jo banana hai... If you haven't already... Please open the box. It has your gift from your best friend. If you find it beautiful enough, Please wear it to the college. A huge surprise is waiting for you

Arnav"

Khushi smiled and opened the box

The dress

"Beautiful" She whispered. She took the dress and went to get ready

Khushi reached the college wearing Arnav's gifted dress. She was received by a large number of friends, Both her and Arnav's.

"Happy Birthday Khushi" Sid said reaching Khushi

"Thank You Sid" Khushi said

"Come with me... Your surprise is waiting" Karan said dragging Khushi with them

"Guys... What's going on? What's Arnav upto?" Khushi asked

"You'll know Khushi... Just come with us" Sid ordered

Khushi sighed and followed the two boys quietly

She had just entered the canteen when the sight in front of her surprised her. The whole place was decorated with balloons, A lot and Lot of balloons adorned every corner of the canteen, In the center there was a huge banner of HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHUSHI in a beautiful font. Khushi was left speechless at the sight in front of her.

"It's so pretty" Khushi exclaimed

"What's the hurry...There's much more to come" Arnav said appearing right next to her

Khushi smiled

"Vaise.. You're looking very pretty" Arnav said

"Thank you so much" Khushi said

"Hmm... So let's go inside, Party won't start without the guest of honor will it??" Arnav said whilst guiding Khushi through the students into the canteen

After a lot of Masti... Music and Dance

"Guys.. Let's cut the cake" Arnav and Sid announced

Khushi reached the center of the hall, Where there stood a beautiful cake. Khushi smiled looking at the cake

The cake

"You like it?" Arnav asked huskily

"I love it Arnav... I'm so happy... It's the best birthday I've ever had. Thank You sooo much" Khushi beamed

"My pleasure, Come on, Let's cut the cake." Arnav said and they cut the cake

"Khushi..." Roshni called

"Yeah, Wait a minute" Khushi answered

But Arnav had other plans

"Khushi" He said softly, As he stopped her from going by holding her hand. Khushi turned smiling. But soon her smile vanished and was replaced by surprise

"Arnav..." Khushi whispered as she stared at the man on his knees in front of her

"Khushi... I know this probably is extremely sudden, Maybe you don't even want to talk to me after what happens today. Maybe you'll hate me for the rest of your life. But today... Just today, Hear me out and be patient"

Khushi stood patiently looking at him

"Khushi... Six months back, When I saw you for the first time. In that in-house fashion show, Where you fell in my arms. Something changed... I felt light... Happy... Energized. It was a feeling, I neither understood... Nor could I name. You know for a fact that I'm a loser when it comes to feelings" Arnav smiled sheepishly. Khushi chuckled

"But there was no mistaking that feeling... The feeling of you.. In my arms, It's something I'll never ever forget. It's something I'll always cherish, All my life." Arnav said

Khushi stood there right in front of him, Lost... In his words.

"Khushi... The day, You entered my life, It was the best day of my life. The last six months have been the most beautiful months of my life. The days... The nights, Everything was beautiful. I never thought, I'd ever feel what I'm feeling right now, But now... That it has happened. I want to feel it, More and More each day"

"After I lost my Mumma, I had forgot what happiness feels like... What pranks are, How soothing laughing out loud can be. I had grown up at the age when most people enjoy being children. You... Khushi you entered my life like an angel. You brought my childhood back to me. You taught me to smile again. You taught me to laugh. You brought back the happiness in my life"

"I enjoy being the Arnav you brought back in me... Khushi, I don't want to lose this happiness again. Mein iss Khushi ko khona nahi chaahta. I want this happiness intact... And you're the only one who can do this."

"You are very important to me Khushi... I love you... I love you Khushi Gupta like no other thing in the whole world. And I don't wanna let go of you... Ever." Arnav finished

Khushi stood stunned to silence, Was it all real?? Was Arnav Singh Raizada actually proposing to her?? She couldn't decide what and how to react!!

"It's Okay... You don't have to answer... I know it's really awkward, But I can't help it Khushi. Just remember, That my heart will always reside with you... No matter what... You'd always be the one and the only girl who managed to make me get on my knees" Arnav said

Khushi smiled proudly through tears and crouched next to him

"Won't you do it for our daughter... Whenever she happens to come into this world?" Khushi asked softly

Arnav gave her a confused look at first, But then realization hit him. He smiled wholeheartedly

"I love you Arnav... Why, When... How. I have no idea. I just know... That you're the only man... Who's ever made my heart beat this fast" Khushi said

Arnav pulled her in a tight hug and she hugged him back

"Arnav... You just made my birthday, The most important day in my life... I'll never forget this" Khushi whispered to him

"I love you" Arnav said

"I love you too... To the square of infinity" Khushi replied

Arnav slid a beautiful diamond ring in her finger

Hey Arshians
