A Frowned Upon Miracle 18+ (Completed)

Chapter 25

Ahana POV (Time skip chapter)

Its been 1 year since I am here, my classes are going well, I got a hang of everything regarding how to choose my classes well and allocating them in such a way that that I can give my time to studying, working and volunteering in International Student Association and Hall Council. The one thing I can accept is that in abroad there ain't any favoritism, discrimination or domination. Everyone with right attitude and passion for doing good gets an opportunity. They will speak with you with a lot of respect convincing you that you are valued. In this place you learn efficient time management, decision making between this or that to save money, conflict resolution, punctuality and maintaining diverse relationships with people of different ethnicities, which makes us realize that all the discrimination based on skin color, shape or size of one's body, hair color, their choices of clothing or grooming is such a offensive and degrading activity. Thier people give each other space to make their choices without bodyshaming or stereotyping them.

I normally have 3 classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while I have 2 classes on Tuesday and Thrusday. While I work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Thrusday, I take an off on Tuesday to do volunteering. At first I worked in computer lab and day care but now I got a planning assistant position involving decision making for the interiors of the campus, this job was paying me more than what I was getting before. I am still working at a computer lab when I cannot cover my target hours as a planning assistant, as the building is bit far from campus, on the other side of the river. I do babysit because I have the bonding with kids but that is just time to time basis or long Christmas, New year and Thanksgiving holidays when the parents wanted some me time for the arrangements while I watch the kids.

I have signed up for theater on campus as I fell in love with the shows so, on weekends I could work in box office and inturn get free tickets to watch the shows and earn my weekend chinese take out money. In all this one thing was constant, my growing friendship with Atharva, yes he had hurt me but he was still my friend, It took me months before I was being myself with him and told him I forgive him with my full heart. I also realized one thing when there is genuine friendship between two no matter how busy or caught up you are you would find time no matter what for you to catch up and care for each other. Its about the choice people make based on how important you are to them and if they don't then you don't have to give a damn about them but if they do then you don't have to hold them in your palms tightly because they are going to stay with you no matter what.

I realized that is the mistake I did with Atharva, I tried to hold him close and he flowed away like water from the little spaces in my palms, and when I let go he came back himself, this might not work for everyone but it does for right people. With Atharva, I have no insecurities now, I don't have to run behind him as he is always beside me in spirit. On the snowy mornings he is there like a warm blanket and in summers he is like a cool breeze flowing from the windows. I also realized when you make diverse friendships you are presented with so many opportunities to portray your talents and I did just that.

When I used to have video calls with Atharva and shared him exciting news about anything unique which happened to me, he used to listen, smile and say that he was proud of me. Sometimes he used to say how grateful he was for my forgiveness. All I could do was smile but I was happy that he was grateful for having me in his life.

One year went on quickly and after a rush of examinations it was time for me to go. on the last day I went around the campus reminising each memories I had with this college while meeting all the sweet people who made a change in my life. 

All through out the journey to India, I was wondering about one thing, would we start off by being friends or would we be something more ?

Will he be happy to see me because I am his friend or I am something more to him
