Ava's pov:My mom was back from the canteen after a good 15 mins and said we are leaving. I left the door before she could complete the sentence, 'let's go', and she looked at me confused.I was speed walking in the halls when she caught up with me and asked, "Why do look like that?", maybe I am not as good at trying to keep up the blank look. "Nothing", I said gritting my teeth not to shout in the halls. "God, what did you do now?", she mumbled making me stop in my tracks. That's it! "Do you hate me that much that you didn't even give me a choice for who I want in my life?!", I shouted as she halted. "What do you mean?", she looked at me. "When were you going to tell me about the engagement?", I deadpanned as her face shown her realization."Ava, let me explain. It's not as bad as you thin..", she is still defending it! I once again started to walk, not minding the excuse she is giving me leaving her behind.I am sick of this! All that drama and restriction was because of her disap

March 20, 2015Ava's pov:"I just fed you for God sake! let me take a nap", I said dozing off as the dog barked in my ears again. "Aish! What is it?", I said getting up. I started counting my fingers going over the things I did, walking check, feeding check. "What? It's just been a week since I got you! It takes time to remember. Don't give me that look", I said looking at her disapproving eyes. "Oh we had to buy a collar!", I exclaimed and she wagged her tail. "Huh got it, let's go!", I said picking her up. •_____•"Leave it, leave it! It's too expensive! Are you trying to loot me!", I whisper yelled trying to pull the collar she grabbed in her mouth fighting like a kid in toy store. Out of all the cheap ones she could have picked! Gosh, I am not giving in to those dog eyes no! Ugh, I paid for the collar giving up every penny in my purse as she wagged her tail happily with the collar and belt. "Don't flaunt yourself much. There are no other dogs here". I

August 2015Ava's pov:'Please check the number you have dialled'. I heard the same automated voice I got used to over the months. He is not going to come back, how hard is it to accept?I squatted down as I placed a finger over the wall where the immature me wrote D&A in a heart. I looked around the terrace, taking a deep breath as heaviness started creeping in. Every spot here had a memory of us. I was trying to push down the longing feeling when my phone started ringing. "Ava, they are leaving now. Come down", said Abhi. Why did I still hope if it was him who called? How pathetic. "Yeah, I will be there in a minute". •______•"Miss me every day okay!", I laughed as Virin kissed my cheek hugging me."Yeah don't irritate Priti much. She is not used to you as much as me", I said wiping his tears with my sleeves. "Out of all the colleges, he could have applied to!", Priti groaned crossing her arms ready to hop in the car. "I still don't know how they accep

4 years laterApril 2019Ava's pov:"You know how biased you are?", I said rolling my eyes at Arun. "No, I have only one ass", he replied looking back at his body."God! You need to follow better meme pages", I said crinkling my face. "You are just jealous of my timing", I made a gagging face at the smug look on his face."Oh, I can help you stop the puke. Come here", he said before he wrapped his arm around my throat.I stepped right on his toe which made him release me with a yelp. "Don't you dare", I said smirking. "Shit! There goes my nail!", he cried out falling on to me. I supported him as he circled his arm around me. "Who told you to chock me then?", I said helping him get on to the nearest bench in college ground. "What happened here?", came my other friend in this college, Siddi munching on a bag of chips. "She murdered my toe!", overreacted Arun to which she rolled her eyes and asked how did our exam go."Exam went well but, waiting for you is not going well every day. Do

Ava's pov:I crouched down picking up the same card as every day waiting for me on the terrace. I laughed out loud reading the cringe-worthy quote, 'Have enough courage to trust love one more time'.I took that down with me and put it in the pile of cards I have received for years. I took out my phone and dialled the ingenious person. "You are getting sappier each day", I said giggling as he lifted the call. "Well, I don't have to if you have given me chance. It's been years and I am running out of quotes", Said Abhi making me roll my eyes. I paused biting my nail as I didn't know what to say. I don't know if I am ever ready to give a second chance. "Stop worrying much and get down to the lawn. I took Rocher here for a walk", he said. I looked at her bed and realized she was not there. "Ok, on my way", I said and went down to the lawn and saw Rocher bouncing happily with her tongue out around Abhi."It's beyond me how she likes you so much. She just ignores everyone as bugs looking

Ava's pov:"Come on girls! It's just once a week. The least you could do is, ten laps a week", shouted our drill 'instructor'. "Exactly my point sir! We'll be useless not even moving little finger for the other six days and one day is not going to pay! Let us gossip for once", Said Sharon mumbling the last part. Yeah, I agree, we just completed another exam for God sake!"If you seven don't join the others in the next 30 seconds you will be picking wrappers around the college for a month", Came his threat which made the other six of us betray Sharon who was lounging around on the steps. "Argh! Bitches! So much for chatter", she mumbled as she joined us on the sweat bath. "So, what's going on these days. Why is it that Pea brained Ashu is on your back?", Sharon asked panting, it's just been 5 seconds on track.Sharon is the only person other than Siddi and Arun, whom I consider close to a friend in this college. "See! She noticed too! You said I was being paranoid", Said Siddi givin

Ava's pov:"Ma! We still have time, let me just wear a churidar. God will not hate me if I don't go in a saree", I requested as she tried to rearrange it for the millionth time! "God will not but Meera Aunty will flip out. She requested to see you in saree for once", she said adamantly flattening the slight wrinkle. I am not sure if it's just Abhi's mom who is most willing to see me in the saree Because my mom behaved like it's my first day of school all over again while putting on the saree. "Okay, Ava I know you are not a fan of traditional pujas but please don't sleep. If you feel sleepy go somewhere else, like they have 15 rooms in that house! Don't snore in the middle of it like last time", she reprimanded me like I was a kid as she drove us to Abhi's home.I just sat quietly because she will continue for hours. "Say namaste to everyone", she mumbled one last time when we entered their home before she left with a huge smile greeting someone.I searched for Abhi in the big hall

Ava's pov:"I can drink bitter gourd juice for a whole week than running this stupid track", groaned Sharon as we moved to the ground. "Where do you think you seven are going", stood our coach arms akimbo. "Umm, to the tracks?", I said as he fake smiled before saying, "No, I am relieving you guys from running for a month", he said as we looked confused at each other. Really?"I knew it! If it's too good to believe, then it is too good to believe!", stomped Siddi as we picked up wrappers around the college. "Don't groan girls it is better than running around", Said Sharon who is resting on the bench as her other four friends were doing the job for her."Isn't she the main culprit here?", said Siddi rolling her eyes. "I can still hear you", hummed Sharon in a sing-song voice. This girl is a drama queen I say, I thought internally, laughing out."Seriously! you are still laughing? I'm surprised those cheeks haven't fallen off after the whole day of smiling like an idiot", noted Siddi, be
