Asher
That was all what I was. That's what I felt.

It ripped my heart, sharply, slowly, teasingly; the way he held her delicate hand, which had been mine to hold. Mine to take care off.
I had not realised it more really, more accurately, more clearly what life was doing with me until when I saw him today, making her smile and when my heart broke completely.
Love and happiness weren't in my list; not in my wish list nor in my need list. All I ever wanted was a safe and secure future for me and my mother.
A future with no unsatisfied hunger, a future with a legal house, a future of freedom and peace.
She infused life in me in the most awaking, mo

11. Aira"Asher." My heart throbbed at an exceeding pace. It wouldn't have startled me, had it jumped out of my chest.I lost the remaining traces of sanity I had, seeing Asher infront of me.Broken, helpless, lifeless, hopeless; like someone I hadn't seen for the years that we were together. His hand reflexively punched the bag one more time before it came to a halt at it.I shattered more, when my eyes met his; blood red, filled with tears till the brim and carved with immense hurt and never ceasing melancholy.

I didn't care if I was in for a family function or whatever. I needed to subdue the volcano inside me.I looked around the lawn with my blurry eyes and I found myself alone. But solitary no more maimed me, it had become my habit.

13. FlashbackI smiled at her and she smiled at me and my heart fluttered.I had never witnessed someone affecting me like the way she did. Her mere presence made me extremely joyful, but extremely nervous at the same time about how unfixed and flawed my life was.She leaned onto the pillar bursting out into a laughter, seeing the comical dance everyone in front of us was engaged in.It was fresher's fest and the celebrations were on an extraordinary sky.Everybody was indulged in something or the other; be it be dancing, music, gaming, drinking or savouring food.It was me who stood at the corner, away and reserved, just watching.Back in India, life was so full of struggles that I had lost my sense of fun. I couldn't dance, enjoy

14. AiraI sat in the centre, with everyone around and amidst everyone I was losing my everything. I was scared if they could hear my heart throb because I could certainly feel it lose its way. I wondered how it was even working after all the wreck. I smiled once again, biting back my lone tears. "Haven't seen a bride look more gorgeous." Chachi kissed my forehead, and I brushed my hairs away, smiling shyly.Though I didn't fathom her compliment at all. Happy brides looked beautiful

15. AiraTired was only an understatement. I was out of all energy, completely drained. I wondered how was I even sitting anymore?My back gnawed terribly that it had almost jammed. I felt cold and the henna made it worse. My eyes had already dried out and the heart ache had become numb. In simple terms, I was physically and mentally done for the day.I felt nothing no more and I didn't even know what I wanted. I was just restless, exhausted and a little hu

16. Aira "Where the hell were you Asher?" I fumed in wrath."I was busy." He responded with the same intensity." Busy." I mocked. "Really?"" Yes really." He gritted his teeth, holding my hand by my elbow. " I'm not on a certified marriage leave, unlike you." He yelled, his tone acerbic, full of taunt. " I am on a no reason off, I gotta do my job from laptop." He threw my hand, walking up to the window, frustrated.Tears slipped down my cheeks. I saw his eyes moist as well.

17. Flashback"I'm done with it." I raised my hands, giving up completely." I'm not studying with you the next time." Asher shot back, this time serious than the previous one. " I never invited you." I moved back against the bed, crossing my arms." Ofcourse, right." He nodded, digging his face into his notes." Don't dare start again." He cut me off before I could even open my mouth.I giggled sappily. It was almost four hours that we were

But there's surely something wrong with you?" I gritted my teeth. Seeing her made me angry." What did I do now Virat?" Her tone was exasperated and furious." Look at the clothes you are wearing?" " Just shut up." She pointed a finger at me, her nostrils flaring. " You
