(Misti Pov)
I looked at Arnab and he approached me with a charming smile on his face and said "Sorry. I am late because...." before he could finish his sentence I stop him and said " It's okay. No need to explain."
Ma looked at me with a surprised look in her eyes and Arnab looked at me and by the look of his face I knew that he felt sad, maybe I was rude more than anyone expected.I felt bad now I did not want to be rude I just felt annoyed that he was late and reacted in that way. I looked at him and before I could say anything to him, Ma said to me " Doll, come on let's cut the cake, now everyone is here."I silently follow my mother and walked towards the table where the cake was placed, everyone gathered around the table including Arnab and Baba lit the candles and I took the knife and blew out the candles and cut the cake and everyone wished happy birthday to me.After cutting the cake everyone took one piece each and enjoyed their cake and Ma and Baba took one piece and they fed it to me and Sristi joined them and took the piece and shoved it into my mouth playfully.I looked at everyone and noticed Arnab hold his plate but did not eat his cake, I excused myself from my parents and sister and I walked towards Arnab and when I was in his backside I cleared my throat to seek his attention and he instantly turned towards me I gave him a little smile and asked him, " Do you not like cake at all or this flavor particularly?"He gave me a confused look and asked "what?" and then he noticed his untouched plate and said, "I love cake and this particular flavor is my favorite."Now it's my turn to give him a confused look and before I could ask him anything he said " You are angry with me .. so. I just can't enjoy this cake " and after a few moments of pause he added again " when the birthday girl is upset I can't enjoy birthday party right."I laughed out loud and assured him that I was not angry with him and now he can enjoy the birthday party and he grinned and he finished his cake instantly."Hey, slow down, otherwise you will choke," I warned him.Archana joined us and handed me a gift packet and I gave her a confused look and before I could ask her anything else she said "It was by him and he thought you are angry so he handed it to me and requested to give it to you. Now take it."I took the packet and said to Arnab, " You can give it to me by yourself."He said to me " Yeah. I can but you are so angry, I thought at least today you are not going to talk to me.""No no, it will never happen. She can get angry with anyone but not with you at least not for more than hours. You are special." Archana finished the sentence and I looked at her in shock and could not say anything for a few minutes and then I regained my sense and said "Shut up Archana ." and looked at Arnab with embarrassment and said to him, "Please do not mind anything. You know her right!!! She does not think of anything before speaking."Then I paused for a few moments and was about to apologize to him but he said to me "I want to talk to you about something important." Then he turned his head towards Archana and said to her "If you please excuse us. I want to talk to her alone."Archana grinned and said "Okay" and left us alone.Arnab walked towards the furthest corner of the rooftop and gestured me to follow him and I followed him quietly and I felt nervous and when we stopped at the corner, it was relatively a quiet place because no one was near this corner. Arnab looked straight at my eyes and said "I want to be alone with you because it is important and I want to tell you this since I meet you. But I am afraid how you will react."Now I practically heard my heartbeat it was so loud I was overly excited about what he wanted to say to me and looked at his eye expectantly and he said "I like you a lot... I mean a lot more than just friend ..... I mean. I mean."Before he could finish his sentence I asked him, "Do you mean you love me?" I finally asked him those words and he nodded and said "I think so.. But..."I looked at him curiously and told him, "I do not get it."He just gave me a small smile and wanted to say something but at that moment some of my relatives asked me for the photo session and I had to join them unwillingly.Time passed quickly and it was almost 10.30 P.M everyone was either enjoying their dinner or already finished it and gave compliments for the food.I wanted some alone time with Arnab and really wanted to know what actually he wanted to say to me and if he was really in love with me why he hesitated to say it and moreover why he used the word " But..."Ma told me to join my friends and Sristi at one table where they were sitting and waiting for their food Arnab also joined them already. I went there and joined my folks I looked at the table and the chair at the left side of the Arnab is empty and Arnab being a gentleman pulled the chair for me and I sat there and Arnab sat next to me and soon everyone started to enjoy their food I looked at Arnab he looked at me and said " We will talk about it later. Now enjoy your food, I know how much you love the food, so enjoy it. "Though he said these words in a whispering tone I looked at Sristi and Archana and they both gave me a what is going on the look, I ignored them and looked at others they did not notice our conversation, they were busy among themselves. I started to eat my food and as usual, all foods were too yummy... I knew it very well when Arnab told me that he would tell me later I knew he would do that. He always kept his promises.Misti's POV - Party was almost over and half of my family members and relatives already left for their house. Arnab came to me and said "Goodbye." I said to him, "But you want to say something.." before I could complete my sentence, Ma said to me, "Misti come here your grandfather is leaving." I looked at him and before I could say anything he said to me, "I will call you tomorrow then I will tell you. I have to leave now, my mother is waiting for me at home." "Ok. Take care. Good night," I said to him. After that, I joined my grandfather and
Next DayEvening- Misti's Point of view- I called Arnab at the evening for the first time I was calling him at the evening usually I called him at night. I was really very nervous but I could not able to wait till night. I did not know Arnab will get angry with me or not but I could not able to control my anxiety anymore, from yesterday night I was anxious about what he wanted to tell me. He was the love of my life, I wanted to know what was waiting for us in the near future. His phone was ringing but he did not respond yet, I started to chew my lips in anxiety. I tried to call him two more times and the fourth time he picked up my
SIX MONTHS LATER- Misti's POV- Six months passed since I talked to Arnab, he never called me again neither I tried to contact him though I was completely broken from inside but I always maintained a happy face in front of everyone. I could not able, to tell the truth to Sristi, only Archana knew the truth that Arnab and I broke up, I did not inform Sristi about my break up because I knew that she would react and when she got angry she did not listen to anyone and I already lied in front of my Ma and Baba and they knew nothing about my relationship with Arnab if Sristi spilled the information out of her anger, then Ma, Baba would be hurt. Archana understood my situation and she tried to comfort me as much as she could. Arnab even did n
Misti's POV – One month later – Finally, we get Admission to a reputed college. Archana took chemistry, physics, and mathematics and I took botany, zoology, and chemistry. So we both had one common subject and one common class. We are now waiting for our guest lecturer at our chemistry class our regular teacher at our last class told us that he was going on vacation for a few days, so next two weeks one guest lecturer would take our class. This class was common for both me and Archana, Archana just sat beside me and she said “Already five minutes had passed and the guest lecturer did not show his face yet, very poor time sense.” After a few seconds, th
Misti's POV – Almost seven days passed since Mr. Ishan joined our college as a guest lecturer. Since that day no further issue arises between Archana and Mr. Ishan. I wanted to talk with Mr. Ishan because I wants to give him his money back but I did not get any chance to do so. Today I was determined that I would talk with him and would return his money. We were waiting for Mr. Ishan in chemistry class, he entered the class and asked us to submit the previous assignment which he gave us in our last class. Everyone was submitting the assignment copy to his desk, I was the last one and I placed my copy on his desk and Archana was waiting for me near the teacher’s desk, she submitted her copy just before me. After sub
MISTI’S POINT OF VIEW – One of the miscreants touched my body with his filthy hands and another miscreant lifted his hand to touch my boob, I tried to free myself from their clutches but I was not so strong to resist them. “ Bitch, co-operate with us otherwise you will face the consequences,” one of the miscreants said to me and suddenly he slapped me hard on my face, and the corner of my mouth started to bleed suddenly. One of the filthy miscreants touched my breast and squeezed it and he was about to rip open my Kurti but before that, someone grabbed his hair and punched him on his face, I looked at my saviour and it was none other than Mr. Ishan but he was badly injured, those miscreants left me and attacked him again and he started to fight with them again but I knew that
Misti’s POV : I was going to college because I had to attend some important classes and after that, I would go to the hospital to meet Mr. Ishan. He had to stay at the hospital for few more days though his condition was stable but the doctor prescribed him to stay at the hospital for a few days. Yesterday night when I reached home, I tried to call Archana but her phone was busy. So, I did not disturb her further, after all, I would meet her in the college. I reached college at about 10.30 A.M., I called Archana but her phone was busy. I decided that I would call her later and joined my zoology class. After attending my class again I called Archana and this time she picked up my call and said “ Hello, Misti, I wanted
MISTI’S POINT OF VIEW – I was sleeping peacefully until I saw a person whose face is blur was looking at me with so much rage in his eyes and then he grabbed me forcefully and pushed me and I fall on the bed and he hovered over me and he lay on top of me and that unknown person started to kiss me all over my face. “ Leave me you moron,” I screamed at top of my lungs and started to wiggle out from his grip but his grip was too tight, then suddenly I woke up and understood that I saw a nightmare but I did not understand why it felt so real. I was sweating heavily, I took the glass from the side table and gulped down some water, Sristi was stying in one of our relative's houses that’s why I was alone in my room today otherwise it could be very embarrassing. I put down the glass on the side table and tried to sleep again and I did not know when I dozed off. In the morning I woke up and looked at the wall clock it wa
