13. Flashback
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
let me know what you all think about the story so far??
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
18. ViratI pulled her by her hand making sure nobody noticed us." Ouch, Virat." Esha groaned in pain. " What's wrong with you?" She shrieked, rubbing her arm. " It hurts."" Don't know about myself? 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
19. Flashback" Come out, let's go." Asher stood beside the driver's seat, waiting for me to step out." I'm driving." I told him and he chuckled." Aira, it's past one. I'm sure you don't wanna cancel the plan." He replied curtly, opening the door. " Asher, I haven't drove since a month. Please." I walked out." You know what happened last time you drove?" He shot a look at me." As if you never crashed anytime." I rolled my eyes." But I don't crash every time." He fought back.It was a routine. We'd argue over who'd drive. Asher didn't trust me with the keys at all." It's my car." I heaved, crossing my arms against my chest." You are my girl." He pecked my lips, snatching the keys fro
20. Virat"Sshh, no." I whispered as sweetly as I could but even my most melodious voice seemed to had no effect on her. Hinaaya whimpered nevertheless.I hated children and there was a reason to it, their constant nagging. It was so hard to understand anybody by the sound of their cries and I wasn't God at all.I had no clue what Hinaaya needed and I gradually felt more and more annoyed.I made funny faces, I bounced and circled her but she was adamant just like her mother. I wondered
21. Flashback"You have no clue Aunty.." I shook my head, slipping into a more lazy position. "He troubles me so much during Ramadan." I complained, staring at Asher through the rear view mirror.He chuckled at my accusation as if I was a child crying about her silly friend." I know beta.." She jabbered, turning back to me, her face showing how much she had to speak on the topic."Which is why I'm so grateful to have you. I'm okay in Ramadan because I know, you are with my dork." She smiled at me sweetly." Ab aisa bhi nahi hai Ammi, mere bilkul nakhre nahi hain?" Asher piped in, stealing a glance at me.It made my heart flutter. His gaze always did. The way he looked at me in the crowd, secretively yet so intensely as if he could see my soul made me feel butterflies." Yeah, ofco
