Amore Tales (Short Stories)

Flashback:

Veer- 6 year old.
Shreya- 5 year old.

"Give me my doll back!" Shreya screamed in her adorable voice.

"No! She's ugly." Veer scrunched up his face in disgust.

"You're ugly." She yelled.

"What did you just say?" He shouted coming directly in front of her.

What was the two children's fault that they had to spend their vacations together at the Shekhawat's farmhouse because of family relations?

When they didn't get well along with each other, then why does their parents keep saying it's their childishness?

Why can't Vivek and Chhaya see how much Veer makes fun of the adorable Shreya and troubles her and why can't Ashish and Swati see how much Shreya hits and bullies Veer?

They just keep saying there will a time come when these two will never leave each other's side. But what they didn't know was that this would take a lot many years than what they'd expected.

"I said you're ugly." She screamed, slapping his head.

"You're such a bully." He hissed pulling her small pigtails to which Shreya let out a shriek.

"I hate you." She cried, running back inside the farmhouse from the threshold they were not so playing in.

"I hate you too." He shouted back, rubbing the place where Shreya had just slapped him forcefully.

Veer- 14 year old.
Shreya- 13 year old.

"Why is he at my birthday party?" Shreya glared at Veer who mirrored the same expression.

"Shreya, behave. Now because none of your friends know Veer, you've to take care of him the whole time." Chhaya, her mother said.

"Whatever." She huffed unbothered and left him alone, back to the place where her friends were enjoying.

And half n hour later the situation was totally opposite. Veer was busy talking to her friends and even her close ones like they are some long lost friends and Shreya was sitting far away with a clenched jaw.

How dare he ruin my birthday party? Was the thought running in mind.

"Shreya! Veer's even funnier than you."

"Yeah! Such a better company."

"Shreya should always tag him along with her so that we can have some fun."

Her friends were saying to which Veer gave Shreya a big smirk and she glared at her fate making a mental note to change her friends right after the party.

And the one thing she never forget was how Veer had ruined her special birthday party where she'd just turned a teen.

//////////

Veer- 18 years old.
Shreya- 17 years old.

"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" A voice mocked and Shreya immediately stiffened where she was walking down the corridor of her school.

She turned back only to see a group of bullies. Or to be precise, Veer's best buddies.

Taking a deep breath, she turned back to continue walking, but before she could escape them, a hand stopped her in between.
