I hurriedly woke up in the morning. It was already 10 and felt like I got a good sleep after so many sleepless nights. After all,my old Aryan was back which gave me a lot of relief. It was a whole different world for me after I woke up,it was a happy world. I got off my bed,pulled the curtains off the window to let the sunrise lighten up my room. Shilpa woke up as the sun rays fell on her face.
"Good morning Aarohi!"-she said with a huge smile.
"Good morning dear."- I replied.
"What's the plan today? You seem so happy; anything special?"- she asked as she winked at me.
"Yes, I'm very happy today! Finally everything seems sorted out in my life. My tragic love life will get alright soon!"-I said jumping with joy.I could feel the cold breeze coming through the window. I could strongly feel that it's going to rain today;the rains- a sign of our immortal love.
"But wait! Am I forgetting something? Yes! I've to go for the coffee date with Aryan at 11 and I'm already running short of time! It's already 10:15 and I'm still not done with my everyday morning routine."- I screamed.
"Calm down,Aarohi! It's only 10:15,you still have 45 minutes! It's a nearby coffee shop so it'll hardly take 10 minutes to reach there." -Shilpa laughed when she saw me panicking.
"No, I can't calm down! I've to reach there at sharp 11. I don't want to get late even by a single second!" -I said.
I was done with my daily routine and got freshen up. It was then time to select what to wear. I didn't really bother about my wardrobe since childhood. I never gave a second thought about what clothes,shoes, accessories etc. I should wear for any outing. I always used to organize my stuffs well and was happy with whatever I have. But thanks to Aaryan,that day I suddenly became extra concerned about my clothes. I got nervous as of it was my first date! I couldn't decide what to wear when suddenly I got a flashback of the old beautiful memories when he said I look gorgeous in red. Though his favourite colour was blue,he used to be eager to see me in red always.
I quickly started searching for red clothes in my cupboard. I was getting late so I started throwing out "non- red"clothes to organize my red clothes at one place. But, I ultimately messed up my cupboard. Now the cupboard was empty and the clothes which I organized so well in the cupboard was lying all over the floor scattered everywhere in the room. I could recollect how my mom used to be proud of me when I cleaned up the mess created by my brother now if she saw this side of mine,she would have scolded me.
I finally found a rose red dress I wore only once. I got all dressed up by 10:45. Then I checked my phone,got a text from Aaryan. He was asking whether I'm ready or not. I was going to reply him but then I thought not to reply and give him a on-spot surprise instead. I hurriedly wore those glittery shiny ear rings, picked up my purse,wore my stilletos and opened the door to leave. But accidentally,my phone slipped off my hand. I picked up and checked whether my phone is working or not and it showed up the old messages of Aaryan when I used to message him everyday but he didn't even bother to reply. A tear from my eyes fell on the screen as those messages gave me a flashback of that painful past. Suddenly, everything started appearing dark again in my surroundings. The clouds were gathering in the sky, hiding the sunlight. This time,the rains didn't give me butterflies in my stomach, instead it seemed like a start of heavy storm. Thousands of questions came in my mind. Is he really going to patchup again or he's calling me for coffee for a last meet before final mutual breakup? Was he even serious about our relationship or I was just an option for him among those thousand girls in college? What if he left me again for no reason? There was noone who could answer those questions and I wasn't in a mental state to ask Aaryan to answer these questions and bear his answers. My heart broke again thinking about all this. I forgot about the date and sat beside the half opened door, crying to myself and consoling myself at the same time. I tried to convince myself that whatever I'm thinking about Kartik was wrong,but couldn't. I lied on the floor and got engaged in deep thinking and in depression.
Now,it was 12 noon. Aaryan has been waiting for me since an hour. He tried to call me around 50 times but I didn't want to talk to him so I switched off my phone.
