Riyansh's POV

My alarm started ringing, disrupting my dreamless slumber. My eyes still felt heavy from the burden I carried yesterday in my heart, which flowed out of them, making me dry from inside.

The sharp ringing noise forced me to open my eyes. I would not like to call it a good morning because I wished I could sleep a little bit more, but still I got up, I quickly sent a good morning text with a cute strawberry sticker to Arya.

Then I went for a shower, a cold one, to wash the residues of sleep from my eyes. After coming out of the shower with just a towel hanging on my waist and tiny water droplets shimmering like tiny stars all over my body. I tried to check if she had replied my text or not. My fingers were a little wet. So I cleaned them with my other towel. I hadn’t even dried my hair properly because I was so eager to check her message.

After I unlocked my phone I saw that she had not even seen my text. I felt a little upset. And I placed my phone on the table in disappointment.

After wearing my shirt and trousers and before tying my tie. Once again I checked but guess what? Disappointment returned. I wondered why was she so busy? Then I sighed thinking perhaps she didn’t use phone much in the morning.

After it I made myself some Besan ka Cheela for breakfast and before I bit my Cheela.

I looked from the sides, narrowing my eyes once again. But still, she had not even seen my message. And I groaned while biting my bread in frustration. And I swear if somebody from my family would have seen me behaving as if I was an impatient child.Their stomachs would have a knot from laughter. Though, It didn't matter how much old I turn or how much mature I behave. I would still be a child for my family.

After sometime I reached to the college. I started finding Arya because I was dying to hug her and see her innocent face. Because the whole day I would be busy and would only be able to meet her in the last class. So I wanted to see her before I take my first class.

I knew where I would find her. Therefore I let my feet do their work and take take me to the old practice room.

But because of my bad luck she wasn’t there. “Is the whole world conspiring against me to not meet her?” I thought to myself

“Where is she?” I mumbled to myself.

Then I spent the whole day waiting for the last period. I knew I wouldn’t find her anywhere except the class but my eyes were still searching for her everywhere in the desire of seeing her somewhere, anywhere!

Each passing second was so torturing like every second has turned into little centuries. My eyes were frozen on my watch in restlessness. I was feeling like today was Eid and she was the moon of my Eid. I was excited to see her yet I was uneasy and only after seeing her all these feelings would turn into quenching happiness. The tormenting period of time came to the end.

And it was the time for my class and I had never felt this much joy ever in my life. I could dance in excitement but I just controlled myself. I set my hair in my looking at my phone camera and checked if my cologne was alright before entering to the class room.

And with the thumping of my heart against my chest I entered into the class. My eyes went searching for her with no any further delay. I searched whole class but I could not see her anywhere. Once again, I searched the whole class with my eyes jumping everywhere in attempt to find her and she wasn’t there.

“Where is Arya?” I questioned without even taking the greetings of other students.

“Oh! Sir she is absent today.” Shirish replied.

“What?” I exclaimed loudly inside my head in bewilderment.

“Oh! Okay” I uttered in front of everyone in a flat tone.

I was feeling like I was in a dreamland seeing beautiful dreams and someone had just poured a glass full of water as a revenge of my bad deeds in the past.

I felt a sudden lack of something inside my chest after not seeing her. Felt like something important was missing, like a small puzzle piece or a key of some secret lock. This feeling of amiss created a sense of anxiety in my head, a hollow space inside my heart.

My eyes went to her chair and I glanced towards the place where she sat daily. And felt like the place looked incomplete without her.

The hollow in my heart was hurting badly. It was making me unfocussed on what I wanted to do. In the back of my mind I was feeling bad that I couldn't see her.

With so much reluctance I spent the time teaching the class. But it was disheartening for me. I was feeling forced to do something that I didn't want to do. But I didn't have any other option.

After a long unending miserable torture,the period finally came to an end. I immediately went out of the class. And checked my phone for her message. I thought she must have informed me why she didn’t come to college?

But still she had not even seen my message. It was height of distress for me. I was displeased but gradually a dark creeping shadowy feeling taken over this feeling and I could name that dark feeling as fear. The fear was creating a state of panic and nervousness. And this was because my head was brimming with many ill-horrific thoughts.

“Is she sick or has she harmed herself again?” My inner voice whispered in my ear. And I clutched my beating heart in fear. “She will be alright, Don’t worry, It’s okay she will be fine. But what if she is not?” I thought becoming anxious for her.

Variety of horrible thoughts were scaring me but I was trying my best to give myself a false hope that she would be alright.

“I should go to her house.” I suggested to myself.

And after taking all my belongings, I just went to her house. With a beating heart, and In a single hope to see her. I knocked on the door. I just wanted to make sure she was okay, nothing else. Only one glance of her was enough to see if she was okay.

I would never bother her again if I could make sure she is fine. Gradually, the door opened and my hope to see glittered in my eyes brightly, before soon shattering into pieces in front of my eyes. There was some other girl who opened the door. It was not her.

“Umm... I am here to meet Arya.” I mumbled politely.
