Is Forever A Myth?

CHAPTER 9

Azaad's pov:
I had decided not to talk to her but how am I going to do that? I don't believe it's just been weeks and Im really addicted to her presence. I wouldn't really care the next day about a girl I slept with the previous night but aaina gives me totally different vibes. We meet or talk because I take this initiative to approach first otherwise I don't think she gives a damn. And on top of that, this new guy. Why on earth did he even come back? Now my only focus is to make sure that guy doens't join this institute.

Aayna's pov:

Why can't I stop thinking about him? I wondered if I have fallen for him though there was no reason to fall for or maybe for the fact that he doens't treat me like other girls. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he told me that. being treated in a different way by a *bad guy* always happens in books or movies but to experience something like this in reality is something I cannot express in words. Just like me to him , he was different to me aswell. I didn't meet anyone as daring as him , as confident as him. His charm was elegant. I keep smiling imagining scenarios until I get a call from (friend).

It is from Imraan and that's when I remember I had to verify with the institute about the admissions. I pick up his call. "Hi imraan, whatss up?" I ask. "Good , alhamdulillah and you?" He asks. "I am fine , alhamdulillah"
"Did you find out about the admissions?" He asks.  "Actually I had work so I couldn't go there I'd find out tomorrow and let you know is that fine?" I ask him. "Offcourse it is.. I just hope I'm not troubling you much" he says. "Haha, not at all" I say. "Okay then let's meet tomorrow after your classes?" He asks and I dont know what to reply exactly because I'm not sure if mom would allow me as I've been hanging out all these days after classes. "Iam not sure.. I have to get permission for it can I let you know by tomorrow?" I ask him for which he says okay and I cut the call after talking with him for sometime. I don't know why but after I cut the call, I was expecting a call from a person who usually calls me at this hour. I wait for hours but I don't receive any call. I think of calling him first this time but I want him to call first maybe I'm too shy to call or don't want him to think that Im missing him. Either ways I want him to call first so I think about waiting for some more time as I've already waited for so many hours. I go to instagram and stalk all his pictures. If someone is asked to choose a favourite picture of him , I'm sure it'll be very difficult for them to choose one cause he litrally looks hot in every picture. No wonder every girl falls for him just with his single look. I call up Safna to ask her if incase Azaad had told her anything. "No , he didn't text me anything.. did he text you though? If he texts , ask him to bring Nehaan tomorrow" she says and i swear I want to throw my virtual sandals but I also have to make sure she doesn't find out that I was thinking about Azaad. We talk for about an hour and then I go do the last part of my assignment trying to forget about his thoughts today. It is very difficult. Suddenly a weird thought keeps bothering me. Is he spending time with someone special or having his usual hookup?

I don't know why I want to avoid him, because I'm scared for something I don't know. But also I want to talk to him. I miss seeing him.

Azaad's pov:
By this time she must've come back home. Im not gonna text her but will she? I have girls dying to talk to me and this girl is making me wait. Like seriously?.. But the question over here is 'Why am I waiting for her?'. Strange! I then decide to post a picture of me and the girl who hooked up with me yesterday on my story so she could see or maybe I wanted her to reply.

It's 6 in the evening and I'm missing her. Every time I look at my phone , I feel the urge to dial her number. I know I have to figure out a way to distract myself from it and it's being impossible. I wish atleast she calls me this time. I get a call from nehaan and he asks me if we can hangout. I say yes cause it was much needed right now. I quickly get ready and go the the place. I see Nehaan along with Danish and Farhan seated so I go and accompany them. We have fun and then we go to the beach. We sit on stones that are horizontally placed. We keep talking when a girl passes by. I swear for a second there I thought it was Aayna. She wasn't as pretty as her but something about her was. Nehaan notices and asks "Are you okay? You look dull." And Im not sure what to tell him. I just nodd and act cool.

Aayna's pov:

I finish my assignment and realise that there is nothing else I can do to utilise my time. Just when I see my cousin coming to my house with her family. I get excited cause it's been months since we met. They come and all of us spend time together after which we plan to go to the beach. Our sudden plans are the only plans that actually work out. We go to beach and I could feel the fresh air soothing me . Every part of my body felt so relaxed except my mind which was still longing for his phone call. But now even if he calls me I can't pickup as I'm around my family and it's always family over friends when I'm with my family.

I get a call from him the very next second and I can't explain the tickles I'm getting right now and on top of that,  The cold breeze got me goosebumps and my decision is all that matters right now. I keep my phone back-facing on my lap and blush. Right! even I'm confused what made me blush but my cousin and I were listening to a romantic song reel on instagram and his call at that time hit different. I see my cousin telling me to accompany her to get sundals and I think I might be able to pick up the call but Should I ? Or maybe I should wait for him to call me back the second time. That way he'll assume I was busy.

----------------------------------------------------

Story apart : Do you think she'll pick the call? Why did azaad call her when he forced on himself not to?
