Illusionary feeling called Love

meeting Sasha!!!

Lying on bed fiddling with my hair strands to braid them, I stare up at the spiral dreamcatcher carefully hanging on the ceiling lost in my ocean of thoughts. I had a forest themed room in which there was an artificial tree stuck beside the wall, and its branches covered the whole ceiling and in between there was this spiral dreamcatcher I was staring at, acting as a chandelier decorated with feathers and fairy lights.

Exactly like what I'd dreamt of when I was a kid. Back then I'd this extreme obsession of lights and decorating rooms. This room was my first design ever and I am glad that it came out to be soo good in reality.

Then a knock on the door dragged me out my thoughts and I heard Abby.

"Yeah Abby, come." I said. He came inside and pulled a chair to sit beside my bed.

"Sup Amarah?" he asked.

"Anything important?" I continued playing with my hair without looking at him.

"Umm yeah, Mr. Jason has finalized the date of launch, its 7th of this month,that is after 4 days and one more thing your friend Malla..." he stopped there and hesitated to say anything further.

"...is in Sid's team, I know." I completed.

Malla was the only person who knew that somewhere deep inside I wasn't able to forget Dil, and of course she'd told this to Sid and that's why he is doing this. Moreover, after going through such betrayals, this one didn't matter to me. After all, trusting someone too much costs you a lot.

"How do you know this?" I asked.

He took out his phone and played a recoding.

"Please shut up and tell me how I can reach her. Where the hell has she vanished? I don't know where she is, or what she is planning. I know her, she must be up to something or the other. But WHHATT??" Sid shouted and banged is his hand on the table.

"What do you think of yourself Sid, that you're the smartest person on the planet? Just lemme rectify it. You're the dumbest person to think that Amarah is a toy whom you can play with. You don't even know where she is, but I'm damn sure that she must be keeping an eye on your every move. Maybe she is listening to us right now. We don't know. She must have already planned to destroy you. The only way to get out of this is to go and apologize to her. Maybe she would melt there. I know her far better than you, she's insanely badass and a merciless person for her haters, and extremely caring and soft hearted for her dear ones. You've still got time, go and say sorry." said Malla.

"Look if you're here to tell me to be afraid of her instead of helping me, then fuck off. You don't teach me to how to play my own game."

I laughed at listening to this. No wonder Malla knew me so well, but still she chose to be on his side. Wow.

I looked at Abby who was watching me with curiosity in his eyes. Maybe about what would be my next move.
I chuckled thinking about it. Now was the time to give the major bang to Sid.
I asked Abby to book us the next flight to London immediately without any questions. He did the same and in next five hours we were all set and boarded our flight.

Throughout the journey he kept on asking me what was I up to, but I simply ignored him. I knew that if I told him, he would never let me do this.

************

After we landed in London, instead of checking in to a hotel, I straight away went to Marymount International School to meet Sasha.

Sasha, 12 year old Sid's niece. Her parents died in some car accident, and since then Sid had taken her custody. He'd put her in boarding school and took care of her expenses and came to visit her twice in a year.
Even I'd met her a couple of times. She's amazing! Crazy being full of fun, energy and positivity. Truly a progidy, even i was amazed by the way her brain works. Even after being a small kid of 12 years, she handled her parents death better than many adults. She wasn't sad about her parents death, rather she was happy. According to her, it would hurt them if they saw her depressed and sad, and she didn't want them to be hurt.
She had this ability to find something positive in every situation. I always adored her. I was in love with her since I first met her.

I reacher her school, i walked upto to the receptionist and asked her to call Sasha.

After waiting for a while, I saw her coming towards me.

"Hey Amarah.." She screamed with excitement and jumped on me to hug me.

"Helloow my Lil girl, how are you?? I missed you soo much." I replied.

"I'm fine, and even i missed you. Where's Sid?" She asked.

"He isn't here, I'd came here for some work, so I thought to see you. Now c'mon get packing, we're taking a day off from hostel." I said.

"Okay, I'll just be back... I hope you're aren't leaving soon, I've soo much to tell you about."

"Sure love, now hurry up."

I completed all the formalities for her day off and left with her.

Coming out of school with her, I saw Abby standing outside the cab using his phone. When he saw me with Sasha, his eyes widened. We walked upto him and I introduced them.

"Sasha, this is Abby, my friend. And Abby this is Sasha." And in lower voice I continued, "Sid's niece."
Shock had completely covered his face. But soon he changed it, and smiled at Sasha.

"Hey beautiful." He said forwarding his hand towards her.
She shook hands with him and replied, "Hey".

Abby opened the cab door and sat on the front seat with driver and we proceeded towards the cab. Sasha pulled my sleeve, and gestured me to come down.

"Have you left Sid?" She whispered.
I chuckled.
"Don't you think your brains work too much. Silly girl, now get into the cab." I replied.

During the journey to hotel, Sasha kept staring at Abby with curiosity in her eyes, and turn away whenever he caught her staring.
It was quite amusing to see both of them together.

"Don't worry Lil princess, me and Amarah are not together. Stop thinking too much and looking at me as if I'm some alien." Said Abby.

She was shocked by his reply.

"How do you know what I was thinking?" She asked.

"Cause I'm capable of hearing thoughts sweetie." He chuckled.

And I laughed insanely in my head. Of course he was Abby, he knows everything going around me. No surprise, if he'd heard what Sasha asked me before getting into the cab.

I was quite sure that they both would get along together well. And I hoped that my in intuition turned right, cause it would prove to be good for them in future.
