Loving The Indian Girl

Chapter 7: Confused

Edward's POV

I don't know if I lied to Mack about my behavior towards Ashima or not. Right now I'm in my office thinking about Ashima and what I told to Mack and I'm so confused.

I mean ok I change my girlfriends like clothes but those girls are of that type who will go behind any man just because of their looks and money but Ashima didn't seem that kind of girl.

I don't know if my intentions towards her are right or wrong anymore and I don't even know if my intentions will get fulfill or not if yes then how because she's in India and I gave her my card but she didn't call me yet and I have a feeling that she will not.

Its been almost a week now and I can't stop thinking about her in my free time...sometimes I get so involved in work that I forget about her. Work helps me to forget about everything but when I'm free she's in my mind always. So I keep myself busy in work now days as much as possible more then before.

Maybe I should make one more trip to India no bad idea I need to focus on my work.

She must have forgotten about me till now and I think I should too yes so Ashima get the hell out of my mind and never enter it again.

I tried to focus on my work but a knock on the door disturbed me.

"come in" I said rudely.

"hey bro" I heard Mack's voice so I looked up at him.

No I didn't wanted to see Mack now.

"What brings you here" I asked looking at him.

"Let's go clubbing" Mack said excited.

"No" I was not in the mood of clubbing.

"You have to come you have been working too much from last few days" he took a pause and then continued "and it's a perfect distraction".

"distraction from what" although I knew what he was trying to say.

"You know...from that girl what's her name by the way I can't keep calling her that girl always right".

"Ashima Mehra" I said in a low voice and he nodded saying okay.

"You know if she had been here then I would have known everything about her till now but she's in India" I said hoping she was here.

"I think she proved you wrong" Mack said smiling stupidly.

"What are you talking about" I gave him a confused look.

"You think that every girl is the same and they just run after money that's why you treat them as a toy I know that but my dear friend I think that Ashima is proving you wrong".

"And why you think that" I said still not getting what he's trying to say.

"Because she didn't call you yet and even during the flight she didn't looked like she's interested in you. Even though you look handsome and rich. So now you should believe that every girl is not the same" he said looking serious.

Ouch that hurt my ego badly.

I kept quiet for few seconds before saying.

"See this was the reason I didn't wanted to see you now because when I finally decided to get her out of my mind you came and started to talk about her"

Mack just sighed before saying "now don't argue let's go"

"okay let's go" I said wanting to relax a bit.

Ashima's POV

"Ashima Mehra I'm saying this for the last time that you will go to US you can't let this opportunity slip from your hands" Pia yelled at me angrily because I have decided that tomorrow I'll inform the airline that I can't go to US and I won't change my decision.

"Pia you know what's the reason behind my decision...my family lives there how can I go back to US" I said in a low voice.

"Yeah I know the reason is your family but till when will you let them affect your life first you left US because of them. You left that place where you had such a bright future and came here but now life is giving you a chance again . Ashi you have spend so many years there you have grown up there I know you miss that place. So think about it" Pia said making me confused about my decision now.

"I'll leave you alone for some time think about it properly so you don't have to regret in future" Pia tried to make me understand once again before leaving me alone to think and decide.

She is right. my family was basically from India but when I was seven we moved to US because of dad's business I was very sad because I had to leave Pia and my other friends. I lost contact with my friends but I kept in touch with Pia. I really miss US I have spend my childhood there, my teenage life there and most of all that place holds memories for me my mom's memories thinking about my mom made my eyes moist.

One day I left my dad's house and having no one by my side I called Pia and she told me to come and stay with her although I had a small apartment in US which was a gift from my mom I decided to come back to India.

I don't know what to do what if I go there and some day I meet my family, my dad what will I do then I don't think I can face them again.

I wish my mom was with me she would have helped me to take the right decision.

I started to recall Pia's words she is right it's enough. Now I won't let my family affect my life, my future. And even if some day I meet my family I will face them. Because I'm a strong girl.

I wiped my tears away.

I took my phone and clicked on gallery to see my mom's photo.

"I love you mom i miss you so much and I have finally made my decision. It's a new beginning of my life bless your daughter mom" I said caressing my mom's photo.

"Pia I have taken my decision" I said sitting beside Pia on the sofa as she was watching some movie.

Listening this she turned to me and said or should I say threatened me "Your decision better be what I want it to be".

"I have decided that I'll go to US" I said smiling as I saw happiness gleaming in her eyes.

And next moment she hugged me tightly saying "Ashi I'm so happy for you"

"Thank you for forcing me to think properly...I'm going to miss you so much Pia I don't know what I'll do without you there" I said sadly.

"I know what you will do...you'll find a nice guy for yourself and if possible for me too" she replied giggling.

But I know that she is sad too. We have been staying together for almost three years now I'm going to miss her so much.
