CHAPTER VIII
As the woman turns it wasn't Alisha, coincidentally, it was another woman named Alisha but not actually Aryans Alisha. Aryan gives up, and gives a try going back to the hotel. Once he reaches and approaches his room, he forgets where he kept his key. And from his memory, he remembers that he left it inside the room. Aryan walks to the reception as slow as a tortoise, dragging his feet as he walks slowly in defeat. As he arrives at the reception, at a surprise he sees Alisha. For a moment, he thinks he is tripping.
Aryan: *In his thoughts* Hold on, is this for real? Am I tripping or something?
Aryan walks towards Alisha.
Aryan: *taps Alishas shoulder*
Alisha: *Raises her index finger to Aryan* (As a sign to show Aryan that he has to wait as she finishes with the receptionist)
Alisha then turns and looks at Aryan from top to bottom, lost in thoughts for what state he has gotten himself to; His shirt all wet with sweat, his new shoes which look like they have gotten worn out, his eyes looking like they haven't caught sleep in quite long, he was in a terrible state almost looking like he has slept in the streets for two or three good days.
Alisha: Aryan? Is this really you?
Aryan just stares at Alisha, his head bowed down to the floor innocently nodding a yes.
Alisha: WHAT IS THIS STATE? Don't even speak right now, let's go to the room right now.
The two walk to their room. Alisha walks with a disappointed look, not believing what Aryan has done to himself. The two reach their room and Alisha pushes Aryan into the bathroom. (NOTE: THEY DID NOT GET IN TOGETHER) Alisha chooses Aryan's clothes for him as he showers, Alisha then knocks on the bathroom door and Aryans hand pops out reaching for his clothes. As soon as Aryan got out. Alisha looked at him, and began to laugh.
Alisha: *laughing* I am not going to lie, but the day we grow old or rather be together in the next 10 years, this will be a laugh for the two of us, well me at least.
Aryan: Sure it will. Me looking for you all over the city in DUBAI! Amongst millions of people surrounded everywhere.
Alisha: Seriously, I have not had a good laugh in a long time! This has surely made me laugh. If it was in the newspapers, headlines would be "Boyfriend goes to look for girlfriend amongst millions of people after they had a petty fight" and in the article, it would be "Crazy boyfriend coming out of the bathroom to find his girlfriend missing after they had a fight. Where did she go? Well, as reported, the boyfriend thought that the girl ran away because of the fight and all she went to do is buy STRAWBERRY MILK!" *giggles* I have not had a good laugh since the time the accident happened.
Aryan: I am really sorry Al! Life has now taught me that I should never let go of your hand no matter what.
Alisha: Don't worry Aryan. There are many ups and downs in life, and we shall face them all together.
*Aryan and Alisha hug each other*
Now that they are back together, the two can't ever think of anything letting them down, or rather trying to break them apart, but they did forget two people for sure! Ayaan and Shreya. While the two embrace each other and feel the peace, Ayaan calls Alisha the same moment.
*Alisha's phone rings*
Alisha: *Answers the phone* Hello?
Ayaan : Alisha, where are you?
Alisha: *In her mind* Why has he called me all of a sudden, I hope all is well at home. *Audible* Tell me Ayaan.
Ayaan: How are you? How is everyone there?
Alisha: Ayaan, you are calling all of a sudden, is everything fine at home?
Ayaan: Yeah! Don't worry about that. I just called to ask if you are fine. You know it's a brothers duty right?
Alisha: Sure it is.
Ayaan: Where are you right now?
Alisha: At the hotel.
Ayaan: You fool! You are in Dubai, and all you are doing is sitting at the hotel at this time? YOU SHOULD BE OUT PARTYING WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
Alisha: I know I should...but I have had a long day today...so I am tired.
Ayaan: Ok, any plans for dinner then?
Alisha: We might get a take out from McDonalds.
Ayaan: We? Your friends haven't gone out as well?
Alisha: Uhmm...y..yeah..yeah...yes...they haven't gone out either! *nervous laugh* they have also had a long day right! *nervous laugh*
At that moment, Alisha totally forgot that Ayaan didn't know about Aryan being with her in the Dubai trip.
Ayaan: Alisha? Is all well?
Alisha: Yes bro, don't worry...I am anyways coming back in 5 days now right. So...I might miss the place.
Ayaan: Alright. Take care.
*The call ends*
Aryan: Ayaan?
Alisha: Mhm
Aryan: Does he know about us?
Alisha: Nope. If I tell him about us...we are dead. First of all, it's quite embarrassing that he doesn't have a girlfriend and his younger sister has a boyfriend, well embarrassing for him at least. And you know what's strange? He NEVER talks about girls, and when my parents talk about his marriage, he just gets mad all of a sudden.
Aryan: You know, no offense, I mean your brother is my best friend and...he is also never shown me any girls pictures. And as boys, our main topic would be GIRLS! We have had a pretty long friendship, and nothing of sort has been spoken about. I am sorry Alisha, but I don't think he is straight. But I can't be sure of it.
Alisha: Ok...then why does he really want us to separate? I mean...like, we have been together for long and all this while, and he knows you are a gentle man. Well, kind of. I'd not give a 100% certainty to that. *Laughs softly*
Aryan: Oh well done! Nice, good. Against your own boyfriend. Or shall I say "HUSBAND?", AS PER YOUR SAY! *rolls his eyes*
Alisha: *Laughs*
The two keep on making sarcastic jokes on each other, forgetting about all situations at home.
Meanwhile in London...
Ayaan: Mum? Mum? MUUMMMM!!!!
Sofia: WHAT?
Ayaan: Are you guys hiding something from me?
Sofia: No! Why would you think so?
Ayaan: I don't know! Just. My gut feeling tells me so.
Sofia; Ah, interesting. You have a gut feeling. Nice!
Ayaan: Mum. I am serious!
Sofia: Oh my son! You really do want to hear it, don't you? Alright, anyways it is time that you finally come to know this hidden truth, a truth that has been in dirty soils for your entire life. Son.
Ayaan: Mum?
Sofia: I am sorry son. You are adopted. Even your sister is aware of it. Your sister is our only child.
Ayaan: But I look like dad! There is no way that can happen!
Sofia: Luck by chance. *Turns on the song "Yeh zindagi bhi" from Luck by chance.
Ayaan: And you find this funny? Come on mom! This is ridiculous!
*Sofia laughs wholeheartedly*
But now, there are two things we are unsure of for Ayaan. (1) Is Ayaan really adopted? Or was the mum just joking? (2) Ayaans' sexuality, is he straight? Or not? The answers are left with the parents and Ayaan himself.
