Tangled Heartstrings : Twisted Fate

Chapter- 1

7 years ago....

Aashna's POV

I was running away from my mother, aunt, uncle and that bitch Samira. Again.

After they humiliated me telling that I look just like me father and am good for nothing.

I went to my usual spot at the corner and sat down when I felt someone's presence. Unable to lift my head, I decide to let it be and slowly let my sobs out.

It was then that I felt a hand pat my head and I wiped my tears to look up only to find the most handsome man ever.

Then, my mother's words came to my mind, 'You will never find love with that skin of yours. I don't know what my parents saw in that face of your father but I am sure that you will never find a man in your life.'

Anyway right now I had to focus on this super hot man who felt kinda familiar and as realisation hit me I started running away leaving my purse and my details behind.

He was Samira's lovey dovey's brother. He was Akshat's brother. If Samira finds me interacting with him, I will be kicked out of the house.

Hayy Rabba! What has gotten into me today. I have been running from the morning. Running away from people.

Aashish's POV

I walked into the cafe that Akshat had been recommending me. The whole place was filled with lovers.

There, I noticed a lone figure in the corner of the cafe. It seemed to be a woman . I made my way towards her and sat down opposite of her. She didn't seemed to have noticed me. Roh rahi thi vo.

I lifted my hand to her head and caressed it signaling her to stop crying. She looked up and I was captivated by what I saw.

Her eyes! Bhagwaan her eyes! They were God-like. Her black eyes were just wow.

As I was staring at her eyes with my mouth wide open like a dumbass, she fled.

God am I that ugly?

I got her purse and some documents and decided to keep them with me.

•••••••••••••••

Later that day, I had to attend a lot of lectures but my mind was set on one thing- her eyes. I was imagining scenarios of me meeting her again and spending our lives together. I felt like I found my better half.

"Mr.Aashish Malhotra, can you please come forward and explain this chapter to the class? "

"Sir..s.sorry..ma'am..? Y.. Yes.. Na.. N.. No ma'am. " I hated the way I stuttered.

"Good. Pay attention in class. You are getting an excuse because of your good grades. "

I cringed and as soon as the bell rang, I paced away escaping knowing gazes from my friends. But one person managed to catch up with me - Salmaan.

He was a Muslim guy and despite my racist family hating him, he was my best friend. He was the second heartthrob of the school, after me obviously.

He was more handsome than me but his only fault was that he was allergic to girls. He payed all his attention to his studies and sports and was a great dancer. He didn't believe in love. I didn't either but I was on friendly terms with girls. But now, the God-like divine beauty had my heart.

If I remember correctly, her name according to those documents, was Aashna. My Aashna. Aashish and Aashna.. Such a perfect match.

"Kyun bhai, aaj topper ban gaya tooper? "

Salmaan's words brought me back into reality.

"Kya ho gaya? Itne distracted kyun ho? "

"Mohabbat ho gaya yaar Salmaan. Mohabbat ho gaya. "

"Tum... aur mohabbat . Yakeen nahi hota hai bhai.Accha bata bhabhi dikhti kaise hai? Naam kya hai bhabhi ka?

" Tumhara bhabhi bahut sundar hai. She won my heart with that pitch black eye of hers. And her face- her face carries a lot of emotions. Aashna. Aashna naam hai tumhare bhabhi ka.

"By your description, she does look pretty. But what if your just delusional and she doesn't like you back? Tab kya karoge? "

"Mai uski dil jit lunga."

"Toh lagi shart? "

"Mai apni Aashi par koi shart- varth nahi lagane wala. Lekin uski dil meri hoke hi rahegi. "

"Teek hai bhai Aashish. Jaisa tum kaho. "

Aashna's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about that Greek beauty the whole day. His hair and his eyes- I was in love. But this relationship drama wasn't meant for me.

Right now, I was in the cafe were I met him, bunking all my lectures and sitting next to Saanvi.

"Toh batao madam ji, aaj kon sa drama hua ghar pe? "

"Nahi batane chahti yaar. "

"Teek hai phir bata aaj hamari hamesha gusse me rehne wali Aashna ke gaal kyu laal ho gaye hai? Koi ladka toh nahi? "

"Ladka hi hai. "

"Ky.. K.. Kya..? Sach me Aashna?"

"Kya karu yaar. Bahut handsome hai vo. He has jet-black hair and those goddamn grey-blue eyes. He is the dream man. "

"Accha toh itne bhi bure nahi hai mere jiju. Kab milvaogi? Naam kya hai uska? "

"Uska nahi unka.... Vaise bhi tujhe pata hai na ki mere ghar kaisa hai. Ye pyar- vyar sab mere bas ki baat nahi hai... Aur mujhe unke naam bhi nahi pata. "

"Shadi bhi nahi hui aur abhi se hi itni izzat. Oy-hoyy kya baat hai. "

"Chup kar yaar Saanvi. "

"Tumhare ghar walo ne aur kuch kiya toh batana. Ab tumhari haat kaise hai? "

"Teek hai. Likhna, Khelna vagera sab kar sakti hoon.

Padna baaki hai. Mai chalti hun. Bye yaar. Kal college mein milte hai."

"Bye meri tamatar Aashi. "

"Haha.Teek hai chalti hun. Bye. "
