The Dreamer & The Catcher

§§~TWELVE~§§

"Damn girl you did the right thing by punching his face! I would've done more though but what you did was right!" Anushka praised Avneet. Tunisha, Avneet and her, the trio was sitting in Tunisha's cabin.

"No! Now he will also come behind me as soon as i get out of here and take revenge and beat me and threaten me and and....." Avneet started sobbing.

"Avneet! Avu! Listen, calm down bro! No one will do anything to you! Every boy is not like him!"

"don't you dare take his name!" Avneet pointed at anu, looking at her finger started sobbing more and pulled her hand back. She turned away to hide her tears.

"And every boy IS the same!"

"hey girl! Everyone is not the same." Tunisha spoke up.

"how do you know?"

"Avneet! What has happened to you? Have you ever seen Raj do anything to Ashnoor? Or do you think jai.... YOUR JAI will do anything like that to reem? Or any other girl?" anu questioned her.

"Every other girl is not me and i deserve this! All boys behave like that with me only because I deserve this. That's what that saamne waali aunty says and that's what chachi says. That i have willed myself into this so i can't escape it."

"oh hello! Dare you believe this aunty shit okay!" Anushka was really pissed.

"but-"

"listen, if you spend your entire life with the mentality of 'My trauma fucked me up and that is why i am the way i am' instead of learning to heal and grow out of your trauma, YOU are your own problem!" Anushka yelled and walked away out of the room and went away to the cafeteria.

She was not wrong. Avneet just couldn't live in that depression phase for her entire life right? She needed to answer back people, she needed to live her life and love her life! This was the time she could explore and she was just wasting her and even her friends' opportunities to embrace life. Those friends who are ready to kill and get killed. For her. Yep. For her.

Avneet looked at the door that she went through and kept staring at it. She thought she lost another friend and then let out a humorless chuckle. She had lost the biggest things in her life. But losing her anushka stabbed her different in her heart. But Avneet knew it was her fault and anu was right.

If you don't set your
Spirit free now,
Then when
will you,
Find your wild?

"This is tough
But so am I.
I may not be able to control this situation,
But i am incharge of how i respond.
I haven't figured this out..... YET.
This challenge is here to teach me something.
All i need to do is take one step at a time,
Breathe. And do the next right thing. " Tunisha read out a poster on the wall of her room. Avneet heard her and tried to register every word and implement it in her life. She could kill to get her anu back at that moment. Tunisha clicked a picture of it and sent it to Avneet's phone. She took her phone and put the picture up as her lock screen wallpaper.

"here take it. Look at this every time you feel disappointed. And one more thing. Friends don't break up, they just get a little pissed off. " Tunisha said. She couldn't say more. She too wanted avu to heal and come out of it.

When each day feels like a war, atleast learn how to win it!

"She's madness, the kind you fall crazy in love with!" Siddharth chirped.

"But don't you think she's a mess?" Raj, being the skeptical organism he is, pointed in almost no time.

"Aye raj! Don't say like that! Aise ni bolte. Someone isn't like that by their choice na! Something did happen to her! That's why she is like this." Bhavesh poked him.

"She is, she is. She is a perfect mess, a beautiful disaster, a chaos within a tragedy!" Siddharth chanted, yet dreamily.

"Her smile is the closest to heaven I'll ever get!" Siddharth said, his chin rested on his hand as he stared at nothing.

"Siddharth! Have you gone mad? You already have a girlfriend! How can you fall in love with someone else??" Bhavesh came and stood in front of him.

"Tell me one thing Bhavu, if you want to buy a sofa or let's say a chair, won't you go through many chairs, sit on them, find the most comfortable one for yourself?"

"Oo dear zindagi ke Dr. Khan! I don't wanna listen to your Bollywood rant! Please!"

"See! She never stops me from ranting Bollywood, she just listens to me, understands me, my love for Bollywood."

"She might understand your love for Bollywood, but uska kya haan? She doesn't even wanna live! She's living a dead life! She doesn't know how to live and love life!"

"Bro, you toh did fall in love, but now, you'll have to make HER fall in love, first, with this thing called life, and then, with you!" Raj said as he put his hand on siddharth's shoulder.

"Uhm.... And believe me, i fall for her even more whilst making her fall for life!" Siddharth smiled and walked away.

Bhavesh and Raj stood there, shaking their heads.

HE HAD A FREAKING GIRLFRIEND!
