Ahana POV

It has been two weeks since I am here and I am in love with the place, I have begun my classes as well as my part time jobs. In India I might have not gotten this versatile part time job experience if not for this trip. 

Putting in my work hours in the computer lab learning so much about it while babysitting on the side is giving me everything I need. I am getting paid and I have work life balance. Everyday after a tiring schedule of classes and work I have some thing to look forward to. 

It was only the second day since I was here that I got watsapp recorded voice notes and emails from Atharva. First I planned to ignored it  but I wanted to hear his reaction after I took that sweet revenge. It would be so interesting but to my surprise his messages were all encouraging, sweet and reflected his care. 

Its like my favorite songs now, I hear them everyday but in the beginning I dint reply but with time I melted, I started emailing him back with short and crisp emails avoiding to show the emotions flowing inside me. The fondness I have for him is like a river but I need to show him my anger like a Tsunami before I show him I calmed down, so that he do not take me granted. I hear his messages and read his emails again ...

Atharva: Hi Ahana, its morning here, I woke up with the sun and a few birds chirping. I think these are the same birds who cooed when we used to walk after our study session. I think in their language they are telling me that they miss you, your college misses you, speaking of which how is your college, how are the courses and your part time jobs? How was the travel to Paris did it happen well ? You are a vegetarian so I hope you are getting that food there. I hope you have fun there and please do take care. By the way you have taken a sweet revenge on me, every morning before I go to college I cringe, She is using the cheesiest lines and not taking hints. Well played mate !!  (In the background I could hear Nia calling him in her deep voice "Hi Handsome", and I hear him curse - Hell no )

The next day came an email 

Hi Ahana,

Hope you are doing really well

College has been very boring and calm without you, speaking of classes its all very technical, so much theory to learn. You have escaped at the right time.  Ahana, I know I could be known as a A class Douche when I remember what all I said to you that day, I could see your tears when I said those hurtful words but the way you handled yourself and answered back, that made me respect you more. You dint take my shit and took revenge, I am proud of you for that. In a way you taught me what really is friendship, to be there for each other while teaching them a lesson or two when they fall off their grid.

You are a good friend Ahana, you are sweet while you show me the mirror too. I am sorry if I hurt you and if that is the reason that you are not responding back, I will fill your inbox with emails until I earn your forgiveness

Regards,

Your friend


The next day I got a voice note

Hi Ahana, how are you ? Is everything okay on your side ? Did you find any friends? Its really a torture to see that I have hurt my special friend and when she is gone I am only left with my classmates who do not understand me and my goals. You did Ahana, you understood my dreams, my goals. I miss that, I miss the way we were being true to one self and each other. I am sorry Ahana, now I know how hurt you must have been when I did not understand your intentions. I was your friend and yet like a fool I questioned your intentions. 

Then the next day I got a long email about how they were allotted a project and he was working on that hard while his partners were chilling.

Then after a few days I got an other one

Hi Ahana, hope you are doing well

You know how we are all allotted a project with project partners right? As I am good with what I do, my project partners left everything to me, but when I got better score than them they accused me of not doing the work correctly. What could I say to them ? It was me who went to professor with concerns and questions, it was me who presented the paper, it was me who made a project report on that, while they dint even know what they were talking about in the test. 

Now I realize how you felt, you put your  good faith in me, you encouraged me and inspired me. You made me smile, you were motivating me and what did I do, I questioned your friendship, oh how much I hate myself for that ...

Then I heard his voice break up a little bit is he crying??

I contacted my hostel mate Pallavi who was also my classmate and she told me how after I left lots of things changed, classes became boring, teachers turned strict and my best friend Atharva fell sick. As no one knew we had a fight she assumed we were in good space and teased me on how he fell sick after I left. She is the only person who I found realible and pure at heart who I liked as an acquaintance, she is a good roommate and sweet, helpful classmate.

After I heard that he was sick I called him on Watsapp, he lifted the call and sneezed thrice

Me: Dont tell me you are sick

Atharva: Haan ? Oh, Ahana?

Me: Who else ?? Did you delete my number?

Atharva: Nice joke, I was sleeping when you called so dint check the caller ID

I dint reply back but I liked the silence

Atharva: Ahana are you like talking to me now?

Me: Well, I called you dint I ?

Atharva: Yes you did 

I could hear him smile

Me: How did you get sick ?

Atharva: Rains are pouring

Me: Why would you fall sick if they are pouring outside unless and until you get wet in the rains

Atharva: Guilty Madam

Me: Promise me Atharva, you will take care of yourself until I comeback

Atharva: Not unless you promise that you will be in touch with me. I am sorry Ahana, give me a chance to earn your forgiveness. Dont shut me out, it scares me. Mother's promise.

Me: Okay I will call you before I sleep

Atharva: Thank u, I will take care

Me: Okay, I have to go, bye

Him: Bye Ahana, take care 

From that day our talking to each other started, he started sending me sorry greeting cards, messages, simple gifts which remind me of him etc. I was in the mood to forgive him but not so soon may be on his Birthday.
