Diya's POV
" Dee, kya soch rahe ho?"(What are you thinking Dee?) Chhoti asked me. I shook my head. I was thinking about Mr. Axton. He didn't come to office last week. I wanted to ask Mia if he is fine but I didn't. Now I am regretting for not asking. Regretting it a lot. I was just wondering why I couldn't think properly when I decided to ignore him. It was my decision to stay away from him now he is doing the same then what's wrong with me!!! It's effecting me a lot. I just wanted to hear that he is ok. I wasn't getting it.
" Kuch nahi. Tum bolo na kaun sa pasand aaya tumhe?"(nothing. You tell me which one did you like?) I said. Currently we were in the mall buying some gifts for her friend Jordana a.k.a Dan. It's her birthday next week and the week after next week it's Aradhya's birthday.
" Mujhe yeh pasand aaya." (I liked this one) She showed me the watch. It was very beautiful. I smiled.
" Ok, we will take this." I said to the sells woman and she nodded.
" Dan ko yeh pasand aayege na?" (Dan will like it, right?) Chhoti asked me.
" Bohot pasand aayege. Don't worry." (She will like it very much.) I said.
" To.." (Then..) she was saying but suddenly she stopped narrowing her eyes at something. I turned and found Asher Milverton standing on the entrance of the store. He walked in with another boy may be his friend. They were talking about something. They didn't noticed us.
" Chalo dee, hum chalte hai." (Come on Dee, let's go) she said.
" Kyu? Asher ko hi to bol do tumhare dost hai na?" (Why? Say hi to Asher at least, isn't he your friend?) I asked confusedly.
" Koyi zaroorat nahi." (No need) she said. She was pulling me out but I stopped her.
" Gift box to lene do." (At least let me take the gift box) I said to her.
" Haan, jaaldi karo." (Yeah, hurry up) she said and I took the box and she again started to drag me out. I sighed. What's with her now!!! Once she says he is her crush then she doesn't want to talk to him. What's wrong with her now!!! Did they just fought?!! May be. This why Chhoti is angry with him. We were going out but suddenly I heard Asher.
" Hey, Diya!!" I heard Asher. I stopped. Chhoti was dragging me but I stopped her. She stomped her feet then looked away from Asher.
" Hi, Asher. I see you remember me." I said smilingly.
" Who can forget the cousin of snow queen." He said smilingly. I chuckled. He looked at Chhoti but she looked away didn't give him a glance.
" This is Ardeyn Northscott. He is my friend and unfortunately my cousin." Asher said glaring at him and introduced his cousin with me.
" Nice to meet you, Diya." Ardeyn said with a smile.
" Same here, Ardeyn." I said.
" So, you are here?" He asked us.
" Obviously for shopping you jerk." Chhoti said to Ardeyn glaring at him.
" I have eyes, Ari. I can see. This is a gift store." Ardeyn said.
" I swear I hate all of you from the depth of my heart. What do you think I will let it go?!! Don't forget that I am Aradhya Roy. I never ever ever let things go that easily. Pranking some time is good but pranking and ruining someone's project which they made working hard doesn't make any sense to me." Aradya said glaring at both Ardeyn and Asher.
" You can hate me and Hugh but Asher wasn't part of plan, he was in his class then. Why do you hate him!!! He doesn't even know what happened." Ardeyn said. I looked at Asher he was looking at her without any expressions.
" I hate him cause he is friend of a jerk face like you." She said.
" This didn't make any sense now." He said.
" Whatever." Chhoti said and walked out of the store.
" Chhoti!!" I called her.
" Just tell her that we are sorry." Asher said calmly but glared at Ardeyn.
" What exactly happened?" I asked him.
" I and Hugh wanted to prank with Eshton but it turned like Amber came out of nowhere and the bucket full of water fall on her and her project was spoiled and Amber is in group of Ari and this why she is angry. We didn't know that she was coming. We helped her later to make her project again but Ari seems didn't forgave us still now." Ardeyn said and sighed. I sighed as well.
" You know she is a very very sensitive girl. If she takes something seriously then she will not let it go." I said.
" This why I told you don't prank all the time." Asher said to Ardeyn frustratedly.
" Sorry, Bro." Ardeyn said and got a glare from Asher. Asher was about to say something but I heard Chhoti.
" Dee, you are not talking to my enemies." She said glaring at us and stomping her feet.
" Sorry, guys. I should go." I said and they nodded helplessly. "Next time don't mess with her." I said. They nodded.
" Bye then. Hoping to see you soon." Ardeyn said.
" Bye, Asher and Ardeyn." I said and came out of the store. I found Chhoti waiting for me then started to walk.
" Chhoti, ruko." (Chhoti, stop) I said. " Sorry bol rahe hai na dono, dost hai na, dosti k khatir maaf kardo." (They are saying sorry, they are your friends. Forgive them at least for your friendship) I said.
" Nahi Dee, they are not. Nahi hai Meri dost yeh dono." (No Dee, they are not. They are not my friends) she said.
" Kyu chhoti? Kya hua?" (Why Chhoti? What happened?) I asked.
" Mujhe nafrat hai un logo se." She said. (I hate them) she said.
" Lekin kyu?"(but why?) I asked.
" Dee, baat Amber ki project ki nahi hai, baat hai un logo k attitude ki." (Dee it's not about Amber's project it's about their attitude) she said.
" Kyu?"(why?) I said.
" Un logo ko lagtaa hai ki paisaa saab kuch khareed sakta hai. Vikram Chauhan ko bhi aisa hi lagtaa tha na. Apni hi family ko barbaad ker diya." (They think money can buy everything. Doesn't Vikram Chauhan think the same? Just destroyed his own family) she said with too much hatred.
" Chhoti?" I was saying.
" Kabhi kabhi to main khud sai hi nafrat kerti hoon ki main unki beti hoon." (Sometimes I hate myself that I am his daughter) she said and I was shocked. "Mujhe Vikram Chauhan sai kuch bhi nahi chahiye. Na unka naam, na unka paisaa, na unka koyi memories. Main apni Zindagi main kush hoon, I don't need him." (I don't need anything from Vikram Chauhan. I don't need his name, his money or his memories. I am happy in my life without him.) She completed.
Suddenly I realized that she misses her dad a lot. She was her dad's princess but everything messed suddenly like a strom destroyed everything. She needs her father's love but her hatred is making her stop to accept that. Her hatred was not going to let her live a peaceful life. She needs to erase it totally from her life.
