Chapter-26 LIE

Author's pov:

Siya reached the hostel, all the time after all the chaos happened today. As she trudged wearily up the stairs, her legs felt like lead, each step a monumental effort. The event of the day replayed in her mind like a horror movie on repeat- the disheveled hair, swallow eyes and the devastating state of his messed up her skull.

She flopped onto her bed, letting out a deep sigh as her body sank into the soft mattress. Her phone buzzed with notification, but she ignored them, too exhausted to care. The silence of the room was a balm to her frazzled nerves, and she closed her eyes, letting the stillness wash over her.

She awakened from her long sleep in the evening, lifted her heavy eyelashes and glanced toward her phone which was flashing the notification of missed calls, freshen up herself then she attended the calls.

Asa she received the call, her mother started scolding her for not receiving her calls. She just didn't scold her for not receiving the calls as well as not telling her about today's incident.

Her mother asked her for reason because of that the relation broke up before tying knot. Then she knew he broke everything without telling the real reason which didn't surprise her much. She scooped her mother, calmed down her, tried to understand the situation, the complexity between them rising difference for their upcoming life in which she succeeded. His NRI job and her career are absolute opposite pole in which a one can't sacrifice obviously after reaching this high. Her parents understood the situation between and didn't exaggerate the page now.

A sigh escaped after she dropped the call. That one girl who doesn't want to tell lies to her mother ever had to conceal the matter for the sake of the safety of her family.
Aagnay was trying to call her but she ignored and didn't want to hear his pathetic and authoritative lecture at all. But then a message pops up which clearly gives headlines of warning with capital W.

After a long pause she receives only to meet his scary and deep breaths as he was panicking.

She sighs, it was a sigh of resignation, of frustration. But the moment she heard his deep, smooth voice on the other end of the line, she knew she was in trouble, again.

'' What do you want now, can't I rest for a while not thinking about your existence?'' she asked, trying to sound calm.

'' I want to see you tomorrow'' he replied, his voice low and husky. '' I want to talk to you before going back to Delhi''.

'' and why do you think I'll come there?''

''if not so, then I'll be there at your door''

'' the fact that you want to obscure from the eyes of the world ... .will be revealed royally''.

She closed her eyes, feeling an urge to shout on him for claiming her as an object, ordering her his utter nonsense act.

She knew she should say no, should tell him to leave her alone and let her move on with her life. But she couldn't bring herself to do it.

'Fine,'' she Said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. ''when and where''.

'' I'll pick you at 6 in the evening,'' he said, his tone triumphant. ''Wear the gift that I send you''.

She rolled her eyes, she knew she did not have much energy to talk to him more. She cuts the call and doesn't care about his next words.

Asa kavya comes in room she handed her a packet which was for her, an eye catching beautiful silk saree comes under the bag with a short note stick on it.

''When I saw this all I thought of was YOU....love.''

Siya crushed that chit in her fingers, the satisfying crunch a testament to her frustration. The paper, now a crumpled ball, a tangible representation of her annoyance.

Kavya was looking at her at the corner of eyes, she suspiciously looks at her and asked about all that, in turn she didn't say anything....as she knew her friend is getting excited for nothing.

Kavya asked about Ayush, her day and all....in which she repeated those line of her previously. Both didn't intensify the talk much, and went toward the mess, had dinner, studied and slept after the long day.
