Is Forever A Myth?

CHAPTER 7

Aayna's pov:
I was lying tired in my bed. Afterall it was a long day. I really wanted to sleep. And I slept right away and woke up early in the morning. It was raining , winter time you see. I thought there will be no schedule today. But I had to go as it was an important week. So I quickly got ready and took my umbrella but skipped my breakfast. I didn't eat anything yesterday night also as I was tired and lied that I ate already.

I reach the Institute and went to my class. I felt nauseous. I already felt sick but was ignoring my inner health by getting busy in the project work. After Ayesha was done with the research, I had to make the notes we were working really hard on it. Our project was about supplying cemetery for construction purposes and it's market price and stuff. (If your a commerce student you would know). After a painstaking work, we finished our working day and come out of the gate to drink something and get back home and I took my phone and opened my IG I saw his message and when I was about to reply I felt extreme dizziness and was about to fall when Ayesha caught me, they took me near the gate were there is a seating area. I was totally unconscious.

After a while, when I got back to my normal senses. I saw my friends looking at me in a worried way but not three I saw five. I saw Azaad and Nehaan also standing with them . I was clueless. As soon as I got myself steady Azaad came next to me and sat by side and asked me "Are you okay? ". He looked very much worried. And everyone else looked very much surprised especially Ayesha. " I'm okay"I said . "No you're not , I'm sure you skipped your bf today and did you eat you dinner last night? " asked Namya angrily. "Ummm, I was tired so I slept and skipped breakfast because I was late" I tried to explain. "What the hell is wrong with you!? " shouts Azaad standing up. He was so loud that all students had their eyes stuck on us.

My friends are way beyond shock. Nehaan tried to calm Azaad down and said him not to shout. But that rude guy doesn't stop. "You already look like you have fever and you didn't eat in the morning, you should be senseless to do that" he continues to shout. "Azaad stop it's her fault but that doesn't mean you will shout at her"says Nehaan. "Yeah stop it" says Ayesha. Suddenly he catches my wrist and pulls me, which makes me feel more nauseous, he takes me to the juice shop. I am so energyless that I couldn't even listen or react to him. He gets a watermelon juice and puts a straw in it and makes me drink it. He holds the glass for me. I could feel every students seeing me from far away. My friends looking and smiling at me as if I was a nice pick up line from their boyfriend.

I got a little energy. And also got my senses back and I push the glass away and he gets more upset. He asks "Are you serious?." "Why should you make me drink I have hands and what was that?, how dare you shout at me?." "Shut up and drink first" he says and forcefully makes me drink the juice. "We'll also have juice guys come" says Safna. (Expecting Nehaan would join her). But Nehaan says "You guys have I'll bring the car it may rain anytime. Safna looks disappointed and looks at Azaad and shrugs her shoulder. Azaad tells "I'll take care don't worry." Ayesha is like no wonder what is happening and is more interested in the juice than us. I finish the juice. "You feel better now?" asks Azaad in a totally different way. Never heard him so sweet before. I just nod head. He touches my neck. I swear my heartbeat got so faster. I move his hand. "See you have fever now!" He says. "But, I was the one who got wet in rain how did u get wet? I covered you perfectly". He continues. "Covered?" asks Safna. I got tensed. "Actually when they left me it started raining, while going home she must have got wet." says Namya, trying to save the situation. After I turn from them I see Azaad lost somewhere in a deep thought. I ask him what made him pause from the real world. "Nothing" he says and I know he is lying. He tells "Okay get into the car" "Car?. What car?"I ask. "My car only idiot , I'll take you to lunch" He says. "What no I have to go home" I plead. "Call and inform in your house now and you guys also join" he says looking at Safna and Namya. "No I need to get home, have work you guys carry on" Says Namya.
"Azaad! , mom won't allow me" I say. "You'll ask or should I?" He says. This guy is very much adamant. I call my elder sister Hina. "Hey can I have lunch outside please" I ask nervously. "Sure" she says normally "I'll manage mom you have fun" She says. Before I could even turn "Great! " Says Azaad. He is sharp.

Safna doesn't come as her mom says she has a function to attend. And we leave. Nehaan is driving with Azaad next to him. Me and Ayesha discuss about the project. "So when is the programme?" asks Nehaan."Next weekend" replied Ayesha. "Boys and girls together that day haan? " He tells. "Yeah" Ayesha says smiling. As soon as we reach the restaurant , we park the car and get in. Just then we are sitting in the table talking stuff, I was honestly not okay still.

Azaad's pov:
We were just about to go the car after enjoying our lunch when Aayna holds my hand. I am surprised. This girl hates even coming near me. I turn and she pulls me to the side. "Woaaaah! " I say. "Shut up, can I ask you something?". "Go ahead" I tell her. She seems nervous and weak."Why did you yell at me like that in front of everyone? " she asks. "Because you are my best friend and I have the rights to ask that".She stares at me. "Why do you want me to be your best friend?" she asks. I swear she looks pretty even when she is confused, she is pretty all time, when nervous, when happy, even when she is unconscious. I was lost in her face. She shakes me and shouts "Telllllllll". Uhhh! her touch. I get back to the conversation and reply her. "You know I have been in multiple relationships, been with many girls I make them my girlfriend and I don't stay loyal to them, and they leave me. But you! , I don't want to lose you ever" I tell her. And suddenly I see her eyes get wet. Which makes me smile. I've never seen a girl who sees the emotion in my sayings, Aayna is definitely different.

We both are lost in each other. And suddenly a guy hugs her from back.

Story apart:Who do you think the new guy is?, And what will Azaad's reaction be to the back hug?.
