AAHANA'S POV
" Good luck beti , prosper well" incharge uncle said while making me sign in some register. I half smiled and walked back to my car . My last day was over. I taught what I was assigned . I did not glance at him , it's a bad habit of mine already to see him atleast once a day. I should prepare myself to see someone else rest of my life.
Ugh! I hate getting married!
"Hello dad? " I answered my phone getting into the car.
" You know what I will marry some beggar instead , at least he earns his daily wage! Why do you ask me stupid questions?! I don't want my husband to sit at our home and work! I don't want to even meet that piece of shit! Let him die! " I shouted disconnecting my call. My mom is persistent about these stupid marriages. Not every person who is educated has common sense! I told her I don't want a guy who's willing to stay with me at my home after marriage! Why do I need someone to sit at my own home ?! I get it I am the only child for them, getting me married is selfishness and choosing my husband is another level of selfishness. I started my car and drove towards the road from where I can see the beautiful sea. Mother Nature has created so many mesmerising things that people go behind materialistic things in life. I stopped my car and breathed the salty air trying to calm my boiling veins. As I looked through the sea I remembered the long lost memory about him, our accidental second meeting..
"Hey handsome! " Kusum greeted someone while I was busy chatting with my cousins.
" Hello. Kusum right? " someone replied. I stood frozen in my place. That same voice!
" Hi Aahana" soham greeted me. I looked at him with wide eyes not expecting him to be in our college.
"Ouch! I am hurt! You remember her name and not mine " kusum pouted to which he just smiled.
"Hi" I replied between their conversation. He looked at me for a second and smiled resuming back his talk with my nonsensical friend.
"Really? That's so funny! You are forever between books then" kusum commented making me frown.
"When dreams are big you gotta suffer a bit" he replied making her laugh like hyena.
" How's everything going on? Liking this college? " he asked looking at me.
" Yes! Canteen food is super awesome. Aahu likes samosa there" she gave out unnecessary information.
"Really? " he said smiling a bit.
" I hope for whatever work you came here gets done real fast! We need to leave! Bye! " she said dragging me behind her away from him while he looked at me smiling widely.
Is this the only conversation we are ever going to have?
"This is not the place to sleep lady " someone tapped my window making me look at that person with anger.
"Did I park my car on your shop? " I questioned him angrily.
"No" he replied.
"Then? What is your problem? This is parking area and you are shouting as if I ran my car over you! " I shouted.
"Look madam-" he wanted to say something but I cut him off.
" If you talk one more word I am going to ran over you and throw you in Arabian sea or feed you to the hungry eagles! "I shouted starting my car.
I drove back home pretty pissed off at everything . As soon as I entered I saw few people eating and laughing at some joke cracked by my mom.
" Hello beta! I am your dad's best friend! Come sit! " some uncle spoke while I looked at my dad.
He's inviting me into my own house?!
" Your dad is very dear friend of mine. He lend me some money when I wanted to start business . " he spoke while I was counting numbers to control my irritation.
" My son works in Sweden you know" he smiled.
"He earns well " he continued.
Here comes another match! What am I? Some doll in exhibition?!
" So good to see you uncle! My dad is such a sweetheart! I am so happy that you came after so many years to pay back the money he lend you! You very well know how to maintain your friendship! I am so happy dad! You have such wonderful friends! Now if you please excuse me I would like to get freshen up a bit, you see coming back from jail has tired me so much" I said getting up from there and slamming my door on his face.
Let him die! Stupid old punk!
"Aahu open the door" dad knocked after few minutes.
"I am not interested to talk about anything" I said laying back on my bed.
"We will talk about it later. It's soham's dad, he wants to talk with you" dad spoke which alerted my senses. I ran and opened my door taking phone from my dad's hand.
"H.. Hello? " I answered .
"Am I speaking to Aahana? " his dad spoke.
" Yes uncle it's me " I answered.
" How are you doing? " he asked me making me frown.
Well.. Not good without your son, I think so..
"I need a favour or you can say help from you. " he continued without giving me time to reply to his previous question.
" Yes uncle? " I said.
"I want you to bring him home from jail after he gets released. He doesn't want me to come or anyone related to us as he feels it might cause problem to me. " he said in low voice.
"Can't he come out on his own? I mean no one knows much about him or his whereabouts these all months anyway. " I spoke boldly.
"I don't want to trouble him much Aahana, I want my son to reach home safely without any obstacles. He's been in there for more than six months. You are the only person I can relay on now. Please let me know if you can help me or not" he asked me nicely or threatened me?
"I need to collect some papers from there, I will go on the day he will be released from jail. Just inform him that my car will be parked a bit far from the place . " I replied
" Thank you, I owe you child " he replied disconnecting our call.
Two weeks. He will be out in two weeks. Irony of life, I want to avoid him but somehow he comes back into my life. My dad has been good support to his dad, I wonder what happened to his mom? I have never seen her nor my dad talking about his mom. All I know is they earn well and have good reputation! I don't even know what kind of business they do! I sighed and laid back on my bed closing my eyes. I could hear faint voices of that stupid uncle and my dad laughing at some stupid joke. Everyone seems happy . Why am I so disturbed and agitated?!
