My Accidental Love 💖

A PAST

Avni's pov

Me, jay and atharva were sitting in a cafe near the place we guys met. SSCI college.
Atharva was too tired to go somewhere so we went to this nearby cafe.

And as usual jay and atharva were busy teasing and annoying me. They have been like this ever since we guys met.

They love to annoy me.
"Do you remember that day when she fell for that stupid guy." Jay started again.
"Yeah and but in reality he was a gay . She made a fool out of herself " atharva joining him with his devilish laugh.

Me looking at them with a dead gaze. My most deadly look.

"Chill sonu ! We know your choices are bad" jay with his laughing and satisfied face after annoying me.

"Ha ha .. if you guys are just gonna make fun of me i am leaving". I didn't listen to them and just got up from my chair.
"Avni listen...."
Ignoring jay, as soon as I turned to leave my eye went towards the door. The scene in front of me at the door horrified me.

Sometimes things you run from no matter whether it's a memory situation or a person you can hide from it but can't stay away from it .

And that's how i again met my worst nightmare. Things which made me stay awake for days and weeks. More precisely a person who just stole not only my heart but my soul too.

Everything felt faded and flashback was coming in my mind of all the memories with that person coming inside through the door.

I was so lost that i didn't realise when that person saw me in my vulgar state . When my eyes were filled with tears and my two friends were coming towards me.

"Hi Avantika. Long time no see".

A voice echoed in my mind. People say that a voice can bring many flashbacks related to that. I never believed but right now i am experiencing that.
A voice brought back many memories. A voice that is echoing at Every corner of those memories. Those memories were as good as gold but as bad as hell.

"What are you doing here siddharth?"

Everything was so faded that i didn't realise when my boys were there to support me as my pillar. With a tap on my shoulder from atharva i came back to reality.

" I am talking to avni not you atharva. And you might not remember that this is a cafe a public cafe and anyone can come here." Siddharth said.

Atharva made his most annoyed face.

"Hi avni how are you?" Siddharth said directly seeing into my eyes waiting for my response

"Hi...hii Siddharth." I was fumbling in my words. Slowly i was getting anxious because siddharth was the last person i would love to see or maybe don't want to.

" Nice so can i talk to you in private?"

Overthinking and anxiety was taking over me and my trembling hand was clear evidence of it. But suddenly i felt a sliding touch  on my hand and within a second of time there was a tight hold on my hand helping my stumble hands to get its hold.

When i looked towards the owner, it was jay. When I looked towards him his eyes met mine looking straight into mine and giving me confidence and assurance, 'i am there for you avni'.

That 30 sec gaze hit me differently. The world around us was gone and it seems like the time stopped. That 30 sec of eye contact was the most soothing,calm and mesmerizing eye contact i ever had.

We were disrupted by the most annoying sound.
"Avni can we talk in private for a bit ". Yeah it was siddharth.
I looked towards jay and with his assurance i said
" First of all its avantika for you and secondly tell me in front of everyone what you want ." A new 2.0 version avni said

"Please avantika."
I looked towards jay for approval. I really don't know why his approval mattered because it was all about me.

He nodded and signed me that ' go don't worry i am here to break his bones'.

"Ok fine." Saying this i left Jay's hand and as i did that i felt i lost all my confidence. I again looked towards him and again with his assured face he glanced me.

I went with Siddharth to face my past a toxic past. A past that changed old avantika Aggrawal.
My past, my ex siddharth verma....
