MY FOREVER WITH YOU

CHAPTER-12

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever"

Emotions have a tendency to rile up all your senses, on its own whim. It could bring happiness or suck you out of it in mere play of small moments.

I precisely avoid such situations but life has fucking way of throwing them right in my face.

The ride was much needed to cool down our individual storm of emotions, so there were no exchange of words until we reached our den. It was nothing but an open unused garage section close to Azar's house.

A preferable wide open space, mostly with bare walls. The actual entertaining part were the game boards, Pcs, other few indoor games like T.T table for girls. My convenient options were the bean bags and the soft mattress facing the window sill.

Anything to relax my back could grab my interest.

I waste no time taking lying down on the mattress, groaning in delightful to stretch out the crammed muscles. Sighing in comfort, I noted the sun was almost set. Though I know we're all going to eat here, spending time in the usual way of our gatherings. We don't often get free hours on the same day, so it was obvious to use this evening to the best benefit.

Empty homes, prideful families doesn't seem to be a welcoming option anyways. Oh, my reasons were different.

Few minutes later, I scowled when my nap was once again disturbed with their loud chatter, over most disturbing topic of my life. Seriously not going to see that Makhira or Mandira whatever, that girl's face again. I didn't exactly paid attention, though one topic lead to another and Prithvi as my genuine best friend ended up talking about the earlier awful morning incident.

Enjoying it way too much, I didn't interrupt because at least he seemed distracted from his previous conflicts. At the expanse of my own peace.

The things we do for our best friends...

From their booming laughter it seemed they were having a good time. Of course I have such 'wonderful friends' finding their fun in my dismay.

"Seriously Arjun, if you want to know I didn't invite her. Hell I don't even have her number. Maybe she tagged along with one of my study mates." Kavya tried to justify once she took break from her laughing session.

I already know she was not involved. Full night study sessions were common at Prithvi's place being the largest and no other interruptions from elders. His father would visit his place once or maybe twice in a month. And he hated even those few occasions.

"I'm not using that room again." My declaration only made them laugh louder.

We might be best friends but there is no chance anyone of us would leave any given chance to pull each other's legs or irritate the hell out of them. Honestly it surprises me, how are we stuck up in one group when absolutely nothing we have is common. Maybe these differences are the true reasons to fill the gap in our lives.

People tend to give up on each other if something seem to be complicated. We challenged this belief and worked together, bringing out our own uniqueness.

Shit I sound so philosophical. 

I knew it was bad idea to read books recommended by Azar. That man, like now is nose dipped in some serious life awakening topics. I don't doubt his senses are all time high aware of his surroundings. He'd only participate in the conversation if needed otherwise he could read still in one posture for hours together. It was quite creepy but we're used to it.
