HOPE- ASHA

2: Best friends - Forever?

I woke sweating again. I look at my surroundings and realize I am in India. Why am I not a good feeling about it? Why do i feel like a storm is approaching?

Trying to shrug of the feeling I look at the time it was 8 am. I went to the washroom to freshen up.

As I was not in a hurry I made a cup of tea opened the window and sat by it to see the rain, the sea all the hustle going around me yet I feel incomplete.

This is my me time where overthinking reaches it's peak.

The sea looks calm although it has the power to destroy peace.
Just like the truth calm till it's hidden once it comes out it can create havoc.

Aaron has helped me a lot. I met him when he came as a guest lecturer at my college for a month. He is 8 years older than me. He saw me struggling here and helped me. I was on the verge of breakdown, everything was going downhill for me but his efforts and trust in me helped in overcoming that phase.

After a month, he left and I had no means of thanking him but life had other plans, Fortunately  I joined his hospital as a intern under him. I thanked him and we got close as we were both alone and strangers, we both did not know each other's past. People threw vile accusations against us but we both know the relation between us in not a romantic one rather a pure brother sister relation.

When I was alone in Raksha Bandhan tears forming in eyes did not go un noticed by him. He approached me and I told him about the festival and it's meaning. He offered me to celebrate the festival with him, from that day onwards he became my brother and I became his sister. I will forever be grateful to him for offering this relation otherwise I don't know how would I have survived In that country alone.

With this saying my tea gets over I take a huge breathe and realize I don't have clothes because The Great Aaron did not tell me we were leaving yesterday in an hour and I did not have time to pack

I open my phone to see his message stating that all the clothes are in closet and today we are going to select the wedding clothes.

I quickly take a bath and get ready in a simple kurti, I really want to wear traditional as I always crave for it, I pair them with jhumka bindi payal  and my go to makeup kajal and lipstick. keeping my hair open I wear my silver watch, the only symbol I kept of him.
