Darsh's pov:"You have to believe me! She rolled her eyes at me when I kissed you", she said glaring at my dog. I am trying so hard not to snort at her silly complaining, as she sat on my lap hugging me.I never thought I would be this eager and patient, listening to everything that she talks about. Because I hated listening to people blabbering. I still do except for her.I look uninterested when she says anything but, I listen to every word that comes out of her. I still remember the first time I saw her, eyes twinkling with a little drool on the left which made me laugh.She tries to be the best actor but fails miserably and gets caught for every silly prank she played on girls that neared my shadow.This crazy girlfriend of mine stalked me from the day I met her. She used to have my whole schedule for the week. From the shirt, I am going to wear to what I am craving to eat she knew everything. It never freaked me out, instead made me feel like the luckiest ass in the world to have someone who knows me in and out.She thinks that I don't know about all her stalking skills. Because I always acted indifferent even when I knew she is the one who threw a mixture of paint and glue on Ashu when she tried to kiss me.She was not all that clever at being anonymous when she left my favourite manga or the cricket bat signed by Dhoni in front of my door. She put an A on every gift she left, as a signature.I don't know what stopped her from asking me out. So, I did it myself. What she didn't know is, the attraction is two ways. I gave in. I gave in to her excellent acting and stalking skills."What are you thinking about", she asked me as I was going through memory lane. "Nothing", I said pecking her on the lips. "Have you packed everything?" I asked."Oh! I almost forgot I need to buy a new charger", she said getting up from my lap. I tightened my grip on her waist not ready to let go yet. "Someone will have the same charger as you, but we may not get to be alone for the whole week Ava...", I tried to convince her rolling my lips down her neck stopping at her weak spot, to get a reaction I want. And I got one when she arched her back. I smirked along her neck continuing to kiss her.Before it turned out into a full on make out session I was hoping for. Someone rang the bell. Damn! everyone is right around the corner to interrupt. I hope it's not my parents, I don't want Ava to play hide and seek.I didn't even open the door halfway, my cousin barged in shouting, "Ava, emergency! Come with me now.", Priti dragged confused Ava out while I promised to get the charger before morning.Fu*k, why is it so hard for people to leave us alone? I thought grabbing my car keys to get to the nearest store. •_____•I was driving back with the new charger, it was past 10 pm which was closing time in the town.It would take me about 6 minutes, to reach home. And, my phone started ringing. I tried to lift the call taking my eyes off the road for a second.My eyes went wide and my heart fell to the pit of my stomach. When I looked back at the road, All went haywire as someone all of a sudden jumped before my car! I stepped on breaks and the car came to a sudden halt. My heart was pounding as I tried to remove my seatbelt with my shaking hands."What the hell?!", My brain just stopped working when I got out and saw Kyra bleeding. I was stuck in my place, what in the hell is this?I went to her as the senses kicked in "Kyra!? Kyra!", I tried waking her slapping lightly on her cheek. I panicked even more when she didn't respond. I checked if she was breathing and thank god she is.I took her to the hospital and called everyone. I had a hard time explaining what happened to the police and our families while Kyra was being treated.I felt suffocated as they interrogated me nonstop. I am still shocked and couldn't explain how she came out of nowhere and how she had stabbing wounds from a car accident as the police took a statement.We sat in the waiting area, I gripped my hair tight in fists as others had the same grim expressions. Especially Virin who was gripping Abhi tight not to break down. I couldn't say it will be okay when I was partly responsible for his pain. Her mom was crying so hard, her father didn't stop glaring at me.I couldn't take it anymore and stood up to go out of the hospital. Abhi nodded understanding what I am about to do. I nodded back and went out.We were supposed to be packing right now. Tomorrow by this time we would have been playing some stupid games with a bonfire. Now, everything changed in just an hour.I could feel my heart getting heavy as I sat on the bench outside the hospital. "Darsh", came a voice I was craving for. I ran to her hugging her tight as my life depended on it."Ava, I... I ", I tried to explain. I don't know what to say except for that. I am scared that she will give the same expression as Kyra's family members.She gripped me back and cried nonstop hiccuping. I was so stuck on everybody's accusing glares and forgot what she might be going through. She needed me as much as I needed her. I tried to calm her as she cried. I was planning on telling her and the others about the stab wound on Kyra before the accident but, I didn't want to stress her more as she is already shaken up.We went to the ICU. My mom came running and had a mini panic attack until I told her that the blood on my shirt is not mine. Everyone was freaking out, as they tried to lean on the wall behind.The doctor came out and we all went and surrounded him in a hurry like a mob. "As she was stabbed twice in the stomach", everyone gasped and I didn't miss their confused expressions towards me. I told the police but, nobody other than them heard me past the sentence 'she came in front of my car out of nowhere'. Before, they started panicking.We heard as the doctor continued "She lost lots of blood but no vital organs were damaged except for a concussion. She is out of danger, for now. We cannot be sure before she is conscious. She will be under observation for 24hours". •_____•It took her 37 hours to wake up. After examining her they shifted her to the general ward. She needs bed rest for 3 weeks before she gets discharged.Everyone had so many questions but we waited until the police took her statement. And according to her statement, all she remembers is walking to Priti's home when someone placed a cloth on her nose. She does not remember anything after she passed out.But before she passed out she grabbed something that belonged to the stranger. My blood ran cold when the police showed me the keychain with D on it.They asked if we ever saw it. Virin looked at me with disbelief and Ava gasped. They both knew it belonged to me, cause they went to buy it together.Really? Can this get any worse than this? ~~~***~~~March 6th, 2015Ava's pov:"Ava, we are concerned too but, Kyra is alright now and they are investigating the case. Just eat, It's been a day since you ate anything.", Abhi tried to make me eat for the hundredth time now. It's not like I am on a hunger strike. It's just that it all happened in just a blink of an eye. From being immature teenagers to victims and suspects. They took Darsh for investigation. It's all too much to digest and whenever I tried taking a bite it comes out.I have been sitting outside the hospital room for more than an hour staring at the wall since they took him. Darsh's parents went to talk to their lawyer. Virin and his family sat here with us. My mom is comforting twin's mom."I am sorry to bother you further. But, we need to ask some questions regarding the case", a police officer approached Kyra's father. He said that's not a problem."If you don't mind I need to talk with Darsh and Kyra's friends", they asked further. For which my mom said there is an
Darsh's pov:I sat in a wooden chair in front of a wooden desk and a man is sitting on the other side of the table drinking his evening tea with the saucer on his potbelly. According to them, I tried to kill my friend and the evidence is the 'keychain'. Fu*k my life."Sir, I have been sitting here, for more than an hour. First of all, this is a waste of time to investigate me when someone who stabbed her is still out there", I said causing his moustache to twitch a little for disturbing his time with the teacup."Hmm, we will be the judge of whether or not this is a waste of time", he said taking pen and paper out. And started asking the same questions all over again for which I replied, "The keychain is mine, I am not denying it. But, it was with me in the car when I took Kyra to the hospital. She must have grabbed something else from the criminal. This keychain is just a distraction." I further continued saying, "My girlfriend can confirm that I was home when Kyra got kidnapped and
Ava's pov:I most definitely didn't imagine my week like this, when I suggested we should plan something for this weekend in the cafe. My mom is driving me home, fuming from the conversation at the hospital."How long has this been going on? How long have you been lying and sneaking around with him?!", she asked as soon as we got home, shocking the hell out of me."What do you even know about us to talk like that!", I screamed. "Shut up! Don't even try to defend what you did! Is this what you were doing whenever you said you are going to Priti's?""Ma, please if you found out this any other way, you wouldn't react like this", I tried to explain. "Mmhmm, how would I react any other way when I find that my daughter is sleeping around!", she shouted."Mom! How could you say that?!", I exclaimed disgusted to even hear those words from her. Is she the women I know? I know she was against relationships and obsessed about the status. But, to jump to conclusions this way? She didn't even let
March 13th, 2015Ava's pov:"You stay right here. Don't pull any other stunt, I'll be back in 10 mins", said my mom leaving me with Kyra and Priti in the hospital room. I nodded keeping my head down. I tried to look as innocent as possible till she left.I released my breath and sat comfortably on the couch at the end."Omg, I am eloping with Darsh. Final!", I cried out leaning back.Kyra snorted while Priti gave me are you serious look. "What? I am serious. Get ready to be an aunt Priti", I said looking serious. "Gosh, stop it. Your mom will through you out the window if she heard you.""It wouldn't be worse than her lecture", I said rolling my eyes. "It's been a week since I saw him. She even took my phone when she caught me coming back after I met Darsh that night", I felt helpless and exhausted mentally."Umm, I am not saying that it's nothing. But, it's better than getting stabbed by a psycho", said Kyra. I felt sorry for her and I am glad that they finally caught the criminal who
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
