Dirty Little Liars

AHANA PATEL

My hands were numb and legs shivering like its Artic circle. Aarav left when someone called him, and later Ayush walked in holding my spare clothes and flask with boiling water because I am freaking cold here. I changed my clothes and curled to the bed feeling way better.

"You wore heels, didn't you?"
"Yes, but that isn't the reason for my fall."
"Then what? Wind you're trying say or what?"
"Just leave it because you won't believe me."
"Say it woman or else..."
"Siddharth pushed me."

His lips were spreading and then there is a loud echo of his laughter and eyes getting watery from laughing super hard. See that is the reason why I didn't say it first. This ass thinks that ass would never do such things because they are the perfect duo ever to exist. Few hours later I checked out of the hotel and went down to see Roshan waiting for me. He paid for the room. I returned his coat and thanked him.

"Siddharth pushed you, didn't he?"
"You saw? Damn."
"Clearly I am saying that your brother is blind."
"Fuck."

That means most saw me fall into that fountain because my fucking boss pushed me out of anger and madness. I am jumping from the cliff ending my shame life right here. He agreed to drop me home and I called my ma to see whether they're coming over or not. Not should be the answer God.

"Ma? You guys at Ayu's home or mine?"
"Nisha's and come for the treat."
"Treat?"
"Bring Roshan with you and be on time dear."

The line went beep and I turned to Roshan who is driving without knowing anything. Am I calling trouble to myself or just playing along? Aarav would be there and maybe Kris too. I don't care about him because only thing he did was yell at the party, but Aarav is making me freak out.

"Are you free tonight?"
"Maybe yes, why ask?"
"Ma wants you at the treat tonight."

He hummed and his hands tightened around the wheel making me panic. Is he angry that I am forcing him on something he doesn't want to do, or he is thinking something else. The car stopped and I saw my house. I thanked him and unlocked the door to leave is when he pulled me back and kissed me. His lips glued to mine, but I wasn't too happy with the kiss.

"Sorry for the sudden-"
"No worries and see you later."

I didn't want to talk about it and walked to my front door ignoring him but for my greatest luck another car was already by my gate and Aarav is standing there. He clapped his hands while walking towards me with an angry bird look. I love Red from angry bird's movie and Siddharth reminded me of him.

"There is no fountain to push me."
"Why the fuck did you kiss him?"
"I kiss, hug or even have sex with anyone I want so who are you to ask that?"
"I have good number of IDs to you."
"Like what, my enemy list number one then first in my stupid list too."

He didn't laugh and I unlocked the door and threw my purse to the couch and rushed up to shower also change my fit to something comfortable like tee and jeans would good enough for the treat. One hour later I finished my tasks and went down to see him watching football on my TV. How dare this fucker use my things to make himself happy. I never asked him to see this home like his not even once in my lifetime.

"What the fuck is this?"
"What means what?"

I sighed and opened the fridge and gulped an entire bottle of water then charged my phone, but I saw millions of texts from Tara and my mind rushed to unwanted thoughts that might have gone wrong, but I called her, and she picked up in first ring meaning something big did happen.

"I fucked up bad."
"What? Is Luke with you?"
"No, he went hiking alone because I was sick last night."
"Then? Another prank gone wrong?"
"I haven't got my periods in three months."
"Okay. Stop crying and take deep-"
"Lord. I puked 20 times."

I changed to video call and saw her red eyes and hair messed up totally. She looked bad and he didn't even get an idea about her. She must have puked super quite to avoid him and now he went hiking without her guessing she chose the right time to ring me. I think her coming back would work the best. 

"Wipe that ugly look."
"I am not ready, and this is all my fault."
"Tara-"
"Ahana, I am flying back."
"What about Luke?"
"Please be at the airport."

I hung the call, and she might reach in next 10 hours and it's hard to get flight from Nepal to here so it may take more than 10 so now it's time to go for the treat by Nisha aunty. I wore my shoes and asked Aarav to switch off all lights and all then he followed me out. His hands around my shoulders and I didn't say word because Tara's problem is struck in my head.

"Tara is going to be okay."
"How? For God's wonder she didn't do anything bad."
"Ahana, I can arrange a jet now."
"Head to the airport now."

He started the car and called few people then drove super-fast that I held into the seatbelt. His left hand resting on my thighs, and I closed my eyes to pray that she returns in one piece, and she isn't ready to share this to Luke yet, so I won't push her. Aarav arranged a jet which would pick her up from UAE to here within 3 hours. He stopped the car, and I didn't wait for him and walked inside praying all should be great. 

She will reach here in three hours and suddenly I felt a hand on my waist and turned to see Siddharth standing with me. 

"Stop rushing."
"Siddharth my friend is pregnant, and she is freaking out...I am afraid she would do something bad."
"Relax and she won't do anything bad okay so stop-"

I forgot everything around me when I slammed my body to his and hugged him super tight feeling the scent around me and that warm teddy bear that I am holding. I feel better...way better.

"Thanks for helping."
"Save it Heer for later."
