In that crowded area, I had no idea why I wanted him to be there. The moment the person stepped out of the car, I was awestruck.
Without moving my gaze away from him, I called out in my stiff voice, “Krist, come here.”
“Prisha, don’t disturb. I am…”
I didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence and pulled her towards the edge. Then pointing at the parking lot, I mumbled, “Now what would you like to say, baby?”
“Wait! What?” She pulled down her sunglasses and looking from above the glasses murmured, “Why does that person look like Aster?”
I hit her head saying, “that person looks like Aster because he is Aster.”
“Not just him. Denise, Sam, and Riddle are also
Thank you for your patience and apologies for not giving you the updates last two weeks. If you are following me on my Instagram then you probably know that I was on my break for a few days. If you are unaware of it then let me tell you that it is festival season in my country and I needed some break. Once again thank you for your patience and apologies... Lots of love...
“Where are we going, Newt?” I inquired Newt, as he was holding my wrist and dragging me with him.He didn’t give any reply, instead kept on running. I was on cloud nine when he was with me, but this didn’t last long when suddenly he came to halt.“What.. what happened?” I questioned, turning my gaze towards him.Seeing him staring blankly at something, I followed his gaze when suddenly a girl stepped forward and pulled his hand away. I was not able to speak anything, nor was able to react.All I could do was stare at them holding their hands and walking away. I wanted to stop him, wanted him to stay by my side but I was not able to make any move. My heart pounded loud and I was getting out of breath.
“Isn’t it weird Aster and his group were not in the corridor to greet us today?” Kristen said, placing her bag on the desk.“Um! Kind of. But let’s not worry about someone else’s boyfriend,” I replied, plunging on the chair.Suddenly Kristen began to sniff looking around.“What happened? Why are you sniffing like a dog?” I questioned in surprise.“Nothing, I just think something is burning,” she mocked, giggling.“Kristen!” I rolled my eyes.“They are not even in their classroom. Where the hell are they?” she mumbled gazing outside the window.I f
She didn’t get a chance as Newt intervened, “I heard him saying something about yesterday. Did something happen?”“No. it’s just that…”Not giving me a chance to complete, Krist interrupted, “Yes, she passed out in the middle of the road during that shower yesterday. Luckily, Aster found her.”“Krist…” I glared at her for telling the thing which I didn’t want him to know.“What? Did that happen after you met me at the restaurant?” with a tone mixed with surprise, he interrogated.“Um! I…” I got nervous and bit my lips.“Shit! Why didn’t I follow you behi
“What… What is it?” I stammered.“Um!” scratching the corner of his forehead, he mumbled, “That can wait for a while. First tell me, are you taking part in anything?”“Taking part?” I knitted my brows, not comprehending him.“I mean at an event. Are you taking part?”“She is not. We have decided to be in the audience,” suddenly Tarry pulled me aside and said, before I could say anything.“Why are you not taking part in anything? Seeing your friend dancing, I thought you were going along with her,” he said, and pressed his lips against his teeth.“Nop, I don’t know anything about dance. I can’t get even one move properly and end up making Kristen mad. So, it is better I stay back. Besides, my mom will not allow me to dance since I am recovering from my illness.”“Hmm!” Aster rubbed his chin and after some time of silence, he asked, “What about ramp walk? Will she allow you to do that?”Widening my eyes, I declined sharply, “God, ramp walk? You must be kidding me.”“Why?” as he asked, I
‘What… What am I going to do now?’ I mused.“Why are you not answering, Prisha?” he said, pulling me out of my trance. “Please say something. Tell me, will you walk by my side down the aisle? OH! I am sorry, I mean down the stage.”He chuckled, but I was not able to smile even a little as I was in a great dilemma.Finally, swallowing my saliva hard, I managed to stammer, “I told you I didn’t know how to do it. I don’t know anything about…”“I will teach you,” he interrupted.“What?” I knitted my brows.“I will teach you and manage everything for you. From your dress to make-up, I will manage them all. Moreover, I will even ask your mom’s permission personally. You just need to say yes.”Seeing his level of convincing, I was dumbfounded. ‘Does he really mean what he is saying or is he just…’Thinking of testing him, I folded my arms across my chest as I asked, “Are you really doing it?”He nodded. “Of course!”“Even asking permission?” I asked, raising my brows.Getting on his feet, he
Gulping hard, I turned to mom and then back at him. Just a minute ago, I had prepared a full truck of curses for Kristen but seeing him, all those faded away, making my mind go blind.Then suddenly mom hugged me saying, “Oh my sweetheart, why didn’t you tell me you are going to participate in the event?”‘What?’ I was awestruck. My gentle mom was back, surprising me.I gestured to Aster what was going on but he blinked his eyes and assured me that everything was fine.When mom pulled away, I asked her in a whispering tone, “When did he get here?”“Just some while ago,” she replied and wrapping her hand around my shoulder, walked to Aster whispering, “You should have told me that you are having chocolate boy as your partner.”“Mom!” I turned to her rolling my eyes but all I got was her chuckle.“Since my work here is done, I will get going,” Aster said, preparing to leave.“What? No!” my mom stopped him.Narrowing my eyes, I glanced at her wondering why she was doing it.“You should st
Lewis Everdeen, my dad’s half brother, was someone who had a very special place in my heart. Even though he was my uncle, he was a buddy for both my sister and me. His way of always treating us as his friends rather than his niece was what had always made us feel him more like our best friend than uncle. And seeing him after so long was what made me feel like I was on cloud nine.After embracing him tightly, it was time for me to shower complaints. So, pulling away, I started to slap his arms.“How dare you not tell me about your arrival? How?” Scratching the back of his head, he passed me a smile before saying, “Don’t be silly, princess. If I said that, then how could it be a surprise?”Rolling my eyes, I mumbled, “You and your surprise, is there any end to it?” “Come on, you know how much I love giving surprises,” he replied, grinning.“If my daughter is done complaining to her buddy, would she mind giving a hug to her dad?” Suddenly I heard my dad behind me.My eyes widened. In
‘Why didn’t he reply to my text? Did something happen?’ The thought of Aster did not leave my mind even after I got on the bus and plunged into the third seat.When the bus drove away, I kept on wondering and assuming things about Aster, as I didn’t want his well-established character to be destroyed.At the next stop, when the bus stopped, Tarry showed up and, sitting next to my seat, he greeted me, “Hey! Goodmorning.”“Goodmorning!” I replied, forcing a smile and looked away.“Prisha, why the hell are you ignoring my calls?” Kristen’s loud voice flinched me and made me avert my gaze at her.Standing before me, she had her brows raised. Rolling my eyes, I looked away from her.“How dare you?” she mumbled, but I didn’t care.“Fine, if you want to be angry with me, that's okay. But at least move aside so that I can sit along,” she said, but I turned deaf to her words.When she tried to break in, I blocked her way with my legs.“Wow! Seriously?” Getting pissed off, she threw her hands i
