Love metro

CHAPTER 2: Entangled Bonds

Ayesha boarded the metro, the rhythmic hum of the train echoed in the background. With the city light flickering through the windows, her phone buzzed with an incoming call. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was her friend, Zoya.

Zoya" Hey Esha! how are u, how was your day?" Zoya's cheerful voice echoed through the phone. Ayesha smiled, grateful for the distraction after a long day. "It was good, just a bit hectic. How about yours? "

"Oh, you know, the usual chaos. Listen, I was thinking we should catch up this weekend. It's been ages we hung out!" Ayesha's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That sounds great! Maybe we can do dinner or something?"

"Perfect I know this cozy little place that just opened up. I'll send you the details. And, oh, spill the tea! Any updates on that mysterious someone you've been telling me about? Is he in the metro or you are alone??"

Ayesha chuckled, feeling warmth spread through her. "Relax, he is not in the metro and well there might be a few updates. You'll have to come on Saturday to get the full scoop."

The friends continued chatting, exchanging stories and laughter as the metro carried Ayesha through the city. By the time the call ended, Ayesha felt a renewed sense of energy. As she stepped off the metro and into the bustling station, she couldn't help but appreciate the role of her friends played in adding vibrancy to her life. Little did she know that the weekend plans with Zoya would become a turning point, not just in her friendship but also in the unfolding chapters of her love story within the metro's enchanting embrace.

When Ayesha returned home she saw her mother working on laptop so she didn't want to disturb her but her mother noticed her coming so she asked her, " Eshu, you look so happy today did something happen in college?"
Then Ayesha replied, " haan mummy wo aaj meri Zoya se baat hui aur humne bestie's dayout plan kiya hai next weekend pe aur me toh bahut excited hun!!"
(Yes mom, today Zoya called and we have planned a bestie's dayout for next weekend and I am really excited for it.)

Then her mother replied smiling, "oh acha jbhi tu itni khush hai, chal sahi hai issi bahane tu thoda enjoy kar legi, mein toh apne kaam ki wajah se tujhe time nhi de paati hun par issi bahane tu thoda enjoy kar legi."
(Oh nice, that is the reason of your happiness, it is right u will enjoy on this pretext, I am not able to give u time due to work but hope u will enjoy on this pretext.)

Then Ayesha came and hugged her mother and said, "Aisa kuch nhi hai maa, me aapke saath bhi enjoy karti hu so aap tension mat lo."
(There is nothing like that mom, I enjoy with u also, don't feel sad about it I know u have work and I never felt that I am not enjoying with u so u don't take stress.)

And then her brother came from the kitchen taunting Ayesha, "stop your act of being nice and your melodrama, you are the reason for mom's stress!"

Her mother scolded him, "Harsh, behave yourself, she is your sister talk to her properly and if you can't then shut your mouth."

And he made a face and went towards his room and slammed the door with a thud.

she kissed her mother's forehead and goes to her room.

Earlier she was very excited about the dayout plan but now all her excitement drained off listening to her brother. Closing the door she sat on her bed and folded her knees and placed her head on them wrapping her arms around them. She let out a sigh.

Ayesha : hamesha mein hi kyu, meri toh galti bhi nhi hai fir bhi, pehle papa hume chod gaye aur abb mera bhai mujhse itna naaraz rehta kyu, kyuki usse lgta hai ki maa papa meri wajah se alag hue and meri wajah se he could not spend time with papa and also he thinks that I never supported him in any situation, he hates me a lot for these things. All men are the same they just think about themselves may it be your brother, your father or any other man.
(Why it's always me, none of this my fault and still, first my father left and my brother stays upset with me because he thinks I am the reason behind mom dad's separation and because of this he could not spend time with dad and for this he hates me.)
