"Chaos.... this five letter word is an understatement to describe what goes inside one's head. The unstoppable train of thoughts and emotions often captivating one's mind and soul. There's a chaos in everyone's mind, the only difference being the intensity and their ability to conceal it. But isn't chaos the only thing that makes people what they truly are?"

The plain blue blanket without any pattern of clouds made the sky look nothing but a beautifully and a perfectly painted picture but the intensity of the sunrays weren't allowing me to focus on the work of our Creator.

Hissing at the sudden pain I felt in my eyes due to the sun, I quickly grabbed my sunglasses from my bag and put it on my nose and pushing it lightly towards my eyes.

"You always wanna wear it with style, don't you?", Anisha, asked, more like complained as she eyed me and I just shrugged.

Anisha was one of the few friends which I made in this university and honestly the most straightforward one. Though her direct nature and big mouth can be annoying sometimes but I honestly loved her for being the realest.

"You always wanna complain, you love it, don't you?", I smirked as I knew what Anisha's reaction would be.

Yes, eyes getting bigger than saucers and a loud

"OH MY GOD! ARIA I DIDN'T MEAN IT!"

Chuckling at my friend's antics I quickly gave her a hug as i patted her shoulder assuring her that I was just messing around with her.

"Okayyyy but where are the remaining idiots?", I immediately questioned as I looked at my watch.

"Tanya and Aamina went to get some Xerox copies of Marketing notes, Qaes left early as he had to meet his fiancee, Ziyad, Ruhaan and Sam went to get some food from that place near Charni road.", Anisha quickly gave the updates and I nodded.

"I should leave then y'know I have to go to my aunt's place, she called for a family meeting.", I informed as I fetched my phone from my jeans pocket to check for any notifications.

"For a MBA student you're too relaxed for the upcoming test.", Anisha casually said and I almost choked on my breath.

"WHICH TEST?", I screamed, taking Anisha by surprise.

"Geez! Stop scaring me! Financial Accounting. I know you're prepared for it.", Anisha nonchalantly said and made me sit on a nearby bench outside our university campus.

"Bro are you kidding me? I HATE FA!", I scrunched up my nose even thinking about the monstrously awful subject.

"Well.... even if you're not prepared then no worries! Ziyad would be happy to help you with that... actually he would LOVE to do that!", Anisha winked and I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Can you stop being a rishta aunty or desi tinder or whatever and tell me are you coming with me or what?", I asked and Anisha showed me her phone screen.

"We will be there in 5 mins. Don't let anyone leave!"~ Sam.

I sighed and was again about to annoy Anisha when Tanya and Aamina came in.

Aamina sat beside me while Tanya went on and on about her cousin's wedding that took place in Santorini.

"... And then I was surprised to meet some of my Afghan relatives, I never knew we had such an extended family... Also the guys, especially Nihaal jiju's friends and colleagues, ALL WERE SO FREAKING CUTE!", Tanya gushed and I smirked.
