ArHi OS: The Secret Friend | Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (2024)

I pray to God that I get his name when I finally take out a chit from the bowl. This way I would get to give him something and he wouldn't even know it's me. As I unfold the little paper in my hand I open one eye and peek at the piece of paper. I let out a loud sigh when I see the name. It's not him! I look over at him and see him taking out his chit and when he open it he rolls his eyes and then he catches me looking at him and gives me his charming smile. I swear to God I would give anything to be invisible when he looks at me. I know I look so stupid every time he smiles at me. I mean why do I have to react 30 seconds later each time he smiles! Come on brain! You can do better than this. I smile at him and his smile widens.

Tomorrow is Secret Friends' day for our class and I still haven't figured out what to buy for NK who I got as my secret friend. Payal and I walk together on our way back home from school and I ask her who she got as her secret friend. She says she would rather keep it a secret. I know that's the whole point of this game but she is my best friend. She has to tell me! I ask her to go to the coffee house together and when she leaves her bag with me to get the coffee I check her bag for the chit hoping she would have kept it. And there I find it, crumpled in her purse. Arnav. That bitch! She knows how I feel about him and she didn't care to tell me she got him just so she wouldn't have to switch with me. When she comes back I pretend as if nothing happened a few minutes ago.

Finally the day has come. We are all asked to wrap all the presents in A4 white papers so nobody would have a clue who brought what. I wish if Arnav has got me as his secret friend. I stand by the classroom door and someone pokes me on my shoulder and I turn only to see Arnav. "That was your punishment for not talking to me the other day when I called and called you!" He says crossing his arms.

"You called me? When?" I ask trying to act as if I don't remember. I did know he was calling me that day. But I was too pissed at him as he kept flirting with this s**t in my class. I know I don't have the right to be mad at him but I just was!

"Yes he did" Anjali says to me and I glare at her for overhearing us. Did she have to speak at this time.

"See? She sits right next to you and even she heard." Arnav says. I give and awkward laugh.

"I must have been really busy. So why did you call me?" I ask.

"I just like to say your name." He winks and walks towards his friends sitting on the desk. He has this habit of calling my name in every weird way he could. In different voices, different accents. He thinks I am really cute. He treats me like a little girl! I can be hot like other girls! Why wouldn't he see me that way! Why can't he joke with me? Why can't he flirt with me like he flirt with those girls? Oh yeah, I know the answer! Why would the most popular boy in the school would want to go out with a dummy like me? I barely talk to him! Not because I don't want to. I just don't have the courage.

When it's time for all of us to go and search for our gift we all enter the hall and go to the table where the gifts from our class are kept. I search for my gift and I see my name on one box and I take it. Everyone is told not to unwrap their gifts here so all obey the rules. Everyone hugs each other as it's the last day we would be here at school as tomorrow is our graduation day. I stand there hoping Arnav would come to hug me but he is too busy with the popular girls in my class. Why do they keep throwing themselves on him! Seriously do they have to laugh at every single word he says? I leave the hall without anyone noticing.

It's late night and I am still awake watching Arrow. "Oh just hook up already!" I scream at Oliver and Felicity on the screen. These two are driving me crazy with their will they or won't they relationship! Can't they see they are perfect for each other? Just tell each other how you feel! You're one to talk! My subconscious laughs mockingly at me.

I climb up my bed and suddenly remember that I still haven't opened my gift yet. I hurry towards my bag and take the box and unwrap it. I gasp holding up the beautiful black Anarkali inside the box. This is the perfect gift anyone could give me. I see that there is a note inside the box and I unfold it. Wear this on the graduation party. ? Wow! Who is my secret friend? Maybe I will find it tomorrow night.

Payal and I arrive at the graduation party together. Arnav waves at us both and I wave back. I look at Payal who froze. "He isn't wearing the shirt I gave him!" She says and I try to hold back my chuckle.

"So he is your secret friend?" I ask and she nods.

"Why didn't he wear it?" She says sadly and I feel guilty about what I did the other day. Wait! I shouldn't feel guilty! She is the one who hurt me. But still I feel guilty! I curse myself for being so nice. I am about to tell her the truth when Rohan interrupts us.

"Hey Khushi! You look gorgeous in that dress!" He says and I smile.

"Thanks! I got it from my secret friend." I say and he frowns.

"What?" He says in a whisper. "What?" This time he almost shouts. What's wrong with him? "That bas***d! I am going to kill him!" He runs off and I stand there trying to recollect what just happened here. What bas***d? "Where did you hide my gift?" I hear him screaming and I follow his voice to the garden. He is holding Arnav's collar and I stare at them in horror. What is going on? "I didn't switch with you so you go for this? You hid my gift and gave her yours?" He went on screaming and all Arnav is doing is stare at him. And finally he pushes him away.

"So? What's the big deal?" Arnav says fixing hi collar with grace. "I asked you politely and you refused. So I went for the plan B." He says casually and I am still unable to believe what's happening here. Arnav went all that trouble just to give me this dress? Why would he do that?

"What is wrong with you?" Rohan leaves him standing there.

"What's wrong wi--" Arnav stops his mocking voice when he sees me standing right in front of him.

"What was that?" I ask him and he covers his face with his hands.

"Please don't get me wrong! That idiot just wouldn't switch with me so I replaced his gift with mine." He says in one go and I start laughing. "What's so funny?" He asks and I stop laughing.

"Payal got you as her secret friend. But that perfume you are wearing right now, I gave you that. And the tie too And she has no clue.." I say , fixing the tie. He gives me a wicked smile.

"And why would you do that?" He smirks.

"I don't know. For the same reason you did what you did?" I raise my eyebrow at him and he chuckles.

"I can't tell you the reason." He says and I can't hide the disappointment in my eyes. I lower my gaze but he touches my chin and makes me look up at him. "But I can show you." He says and the next thing I know is his lips touching mine. I close my eyes as he cups my face with his hands. Suddenly I feel so tiny in his hands. When he breaks away he doesn't take off his hands from my face. I can feel him smile against my lips. "I am in love with you." He whispers against my lips as his fingers brush my chin softly. He loves me! "Now would be the time to say something, Ms-I'm-a-girl-with-few-words!" He says in a mocking tone and I hit him on the shoulder.

"Then why don't you go with girls who love laughing at every single word you say and throw themselves at you?" I say and he laughs.

"'I wouldn't do that." He shakes his head and pulls me close. "'Cos they don't watch me secretly when the teacher is taking the lesson." He kisses my forehead as I flush with embarrassment. He knew that? "And they wouldn't stay mad at me when I talk to other girls." He kisses my nose and then looks at me. "And they still don't listen to the romantic songs of Mohammad Rafi"which by the way I have started liking." He says looking at me and I smile. "And I could go on and on but right now I am having this urge to kiss you." He kisses me and I wrap my hands around his neck pulling him closer to me.

"I love you, Arnav." I say in a whisper and he lifts me and twirls me around. And I could hear nothing but our laughter.
