The door unlocked and I got a tight slap on my face! I was numbed yet not shocked!
I saw my cousin in front of me ! She said "You bitch !!! How dare you to not press my uniform??? Because of her, I missed my test !
The aunt screamed at me - You're jealous of my daughter coz she could have done much better than you ! You coward !
I was confused coz pressing her uniform was the first thing I did in the morning!
Then my cousin named Jhalak said " Momma she's a pervert! She has affair with our physics teacher ! That's why he helped her alot... Otherwise why would someone help anyone in terms of money and time???
Humanity I screamed angrily! He had seen spark in my eyes ! Dream of being a doctor!
That's whyyy !
Spark in your eyes or interest in your body??? My sister smirked!
I was literally shocked at that moment! I don't know how to defend myself! Assassinating my character for just being someone's favourite! Not because of my looks but because of the hardwork i did in past freaking 2 years !
I was ashamed of being the part of this family!
I tried hard not to show tears! I took my stand ! I said Ik i don't have parents and you raised me up ! I pay every freaking days for it by doing the household chores! And ik you peeps left me alive coz i owe this house !And to be honest i don't want this house! Once I'll get the college, I'll leave this place as per deal ! But since I'm here you can blame me for anything but not for my character! you don't have authority to assassinate my character!
My cousin said - What do you pay to the teacher??? Your lips,your waist or your b***???
At that moment,i lose my patience and I gave a tight slap on her face ! The room was so tensed yet so satisfying!
I screamed again and said - Don't you dare to ??? I have so many secrets to unfold too!!! If i would start revealing it na,then you need to find the place to stay,You "Slanderer"
The aunt rushed towards me to slap but my cousin stopped her by saying "Leave mumma ! She's bitch ! I'll let her pay in the class ! Don't waste your energy!
Change of heart you thought??? Not at all
" Fear of truth getting exposed " !!!
Actually my cousin has an affair with married teacher and every student knows about her ! She had lost her virginity with him ! And even got pregnant and had abortion ! She's with him for the freaking money! And she didn't attend the class ! She goes to college jst to fulfill that coward's lust! She knew he's not gonna take stand for her in future! But still she's with her for money! She's gold digger and he's a body digger! I tried hard to make her understand but she's a bitch in real! She threatened me not to say a single thing about her otherwise she'll not let me study! And at this point,for me i chose my dream over being the honest person! Coz nowadays "honesty pays in broken gold" !
I rushed into my room and cried my all heart out ! Their expletives were just echoing in my head and i can't bear that ! No i can't! But then i saw my parents picture! They were looking at me smiling! I was angry ! I was disappointed! Why they left me with this shit ????
But then i realised - Everything happens for a reason ! I have to see the positive aspects! They are temporary but my career is permanent! I wiped my tears and sat to study! I literally invested all my energies and studied straight till morning!
Again same routine,i followed ( Doing the house hold chores)
But this morning seems different! I don't know exactly what???
I packed my bag and went outside for class and damnn the weather! I want to draw your attention!
The weather was like a scene stolen from a melancholy painting. The sky hung heavy and grey, as if it were holding its breath, waiting for the first drop to fall. Every corner of the city smelled of wet earth, fresh and raw, while the distant rumble of thunder whispered secrets no one dared hear. The wind danced restlessly, tossing leaves and stray papers into a chaotic ballet, and the clouds wept silently, letting their sorrow spill gently onto rooftops and streets. It was a day when the world felt suspended between longing and despair, a rainy symphony playing softly for anyone willing to feel it."
The perfect weather for my fantasy !
Yeah i have a next level expectations from this weather!
I literally want to drench and dance in rain with my partner ! I want to kiss him in the rain ! My first kiss in the rain ! How romantic it would be ???? The song in the background "Tumse hi din hota hai " Shurmaayii shaam aati haii tmse hi tmse hi "
Ohhh how delusional I'm!!! But yet that feeling of being with someone who loves you like heaven gives me butterflies!!! I claim this energy from the universe!
And it's my gut feeling or what but i strongly feel I'll meet the love of my life during this season!!!
"The season when love falls like raindrops, soaking our bodies and drenching us in its warmth and desire" !
Ahh one more fantasy!
So I was walking and it start raining! I stood near the café door, trying to shield myself from the rain." Ahhh it's raining like cats and dogs!!! And to be honest i literally wanted to drench in the rain but i couldn't i was having class! It has been half an hour yet the rain showed no sign of stopping !
Then a mssge popped in my phone - " classes are postponed due to heavy rain "
This was the first time i was happy of being classes get cancelled! I put my bag aside and ran toward the road and started dancing in the rain !
The rain soaked me to the bone, each droplet like a tiny kiss from the sky. My hair clung to my face, my clothes stuck to my skin, and the world around me blurred into shimmering streaks of grey and silver.
But through my blurred, rain-soaked eyes, I saw a man standing on the other side of the road. He was staring at me-not in a way that made me uncomfortable, but with a strange, inexplicable warmth that I couldn't quite name !
He began running toward me, each step splashing through puddles, yet in his eyes, I saw a flicker of fear... fear of something I couldn't understand, something unknown, yet strangely real."
As he came closer, my heartbeat quickened, and I didn't know why. I didn't even know him, yet my chest felt alive with a strange, unfamiliar rhythm. It wasn't fear-nothing like that-but something else, something new that I had never felt before. And for the first time, I realized that an unknown person could stir something inside me I didn't even understand."
He suddenly pulled me toward him, and in that instant, our bodies collided. A jolt ran through me like electricity-I didn't know why, but it felt alive, overwhelming.
Strangely, I didn't feel anger, only my eyes locked onto his. His eyes... piercing blue, framed by long lashes, held a mix of care, fear, and a warmth that felt oddly familiar. And yet, I couldn't understand why any of it mattered-did he really know me, or was this just some unspoken connection only we could feel?"
And the background music - "Ye baarish ki boonde tujhe hi toh dhoonde !!! Ye milne ki khwahish,hai khwahish puraani !!! Ho puri tujhi se meri ye kahaani"
What was this??? Isn't it coincidence!.i mean we collided and the song played defining exactly my fantasy and desire!
Before i could understand anything,I heard the roar of a speeding truck behind me."!
He screamed at me " Are you out of your mind,you kid !!!??? Is this the place to dance ??? See you're in the middle of the road !!!
Then i get back to my sense ! And I was like _ Shitt !!!! I'm beautiful,I mean India is My country ohh sorry I mean I'm sorry and yeah Thankkhhh you ( Damn what are you doing aaira??? Why are you fumbling??? Be in your senses !
I was literally unaware of this version of me !.i mean a guy I met a few minutes ago has that impact on me that I started fumbling!. stop it aairaa !!!
He asked gently" Are you ok ???" And for the first time I felt loved ! Not only cared ! Akshat sir cared a lot for me but this one was different! Even it's a normal word but hiss deep toned voice or idk what ??? It makes me feel loved! And for the 1st somebody shouted at me coz he cared !!! But this feeling I'm getting from a stranger! This is strange
I answered Yeah I'm good ! Thankyou!
This situation was awkward! I literally freezed there ! I mean i was supposed to go from there ; but my heart saysss" No" !!!
And idk why he was standing there still ! We both were looking at eachother for seconds !
A tug of war was going on between my heart and brain! Before I could decide anything, I heard A voice from our back !!!
"KABIR AND AAIRAA !!!"
