DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

A Long Day

Aradhya's POV

" I am dead." I threw myself on the bed after a long day. Dee chuckled.

" Go, take a shower then sleep." Dee said and I sighed deeply before dragging myself to the washroom to get freshen up. I was hell tired but I needed to take a shower.

I took a shower and took my phone to check the texts. I hadn't checked any of the texts today neither I have taken the calls cause it was dead. I forgot to put it on charge last night. I mean I put it on charge but I forgot to turn the switch on. As a result it was dead all the day.

I checked the group chats. I am absent for one day there will be a blast on the group. I sighed deeply. There were 173+ calls and 999+ texts. I looked at my phone weirdly. I knew all of them were from my friends. I am not dead, guys. I called Juliet at first. She must be sitting there and waiting for my calls cause she picked the call up at once.

" Ari!!! Girl!!! Where the hell are you?" She asked me and I sighed deeply.

" I am not dead, girl. Why were you guys calling me crazily?" I asked her.

" None of us were able to reach you. Where were you all the day?" She asked me.

" I was a bit busy. You know what!!! I forgot to share it with you. My cousin came. The one I talked to you about last week. You remember?" I asked her.

" But she was to come next month, right?" She asked and I sighed.

" Yes but she got a job so she shifted here and she will stay with us from now onwards." I said excitedly.

" That's great. When will we meet her?" She asked me. " Is she free tomorrow?" She asked me.

" No. She is going to join her job tomorrow. I think this weekend, she will be free." I said to her.

" Ok, that's alright. We will be waiting to meet her but why was your phone switched off?" She asked me.

" Actually, I forgot to put my phone on charge last night and I went for shopping with my cousin today." I said and she sighed deeply.

" Mrs. Greene called us to take part in the school play." She said and I rolled my eyes.

" Why would we take part in the school play?! Where are her drama club's members?" I asked her.

" Everyone is fed up with the same cast and same drama over the years. As we are in our senior year she wants us to take the responsibilities. She wanted Gabi to take part in the drama but everyone know her uncomfortableness on the stage. So, she wants either Whitney or you play the lead role of the drama." She said and I rolled my eyes.

" In short, she wants us to be insulted before the whole auditorium." I said to her.

" We can discuss about it." She said. I sighed.

" Which play is going to be staged this year?" I asked her.

" Romeo and Juliet." She said and I laughed hard.

" Romeo and Juliet!!!! Why aren't you taking part in the play?! You are the Juliet for real." I said.

" Not funny." She said and I chuckled.

" Alright then talk to you tomorrow. I will want you to be the Juliet." I said and she sighed deeply.

" Stop it!!!" She said irritatingly and I laughed.

" Ok, Ardeyn and you play Romeo and Juliet. It will be perfect." I said.

" Ariiiiiiiiii!!!! I will kill you." She said and I hung the call up. I know she will keep shouting now.

I was going back to my room from the balcony when my phone started to ring again and it was Asher. I smiled and picked the call up.

" Hey, Asher!!" I said picking the call up.

" Were you busy all the day?" He asked me.

" Yes, a bit. My cousin came. I went for shopping with her." I said to him. " You came back from Manchester?" I asked him.

" I am about to get into the flight." He said.

" Oh, is Ardeyn with you?" I asked him.

" Yes. He is with me." He said.

Asher and Ardeyn went to a business meeting with his father. They flew to Manchester from Amsterdam and we came back to London. They were to come back this morning. Their family has started to train them from now for their future.

" What is he doing?" I asked him.

" Talking to his Mom." He said.

" Alright then. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a safe journey." I said to him.

" Goodnight. Take care." He said.

" Goodnight, Asher. You too take care." I said to him and hung up.

I walked back to my room after I texted back in the group that I was absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with me and I was going to meet them tomorrow. I walked toward the guest room where Dee was staying. I knocked on the door and found her ironing her clothes.

" Chhoti, come in. You don't have to knock on the door." She said and I chuckled.

" Kya ker rahi hoo?" (What are you doing?) I asked him.

" Preparing myself for the war tomorrow." She said and I chuckled.

" How come it be a war?" I asked her.

" There are 10 more people who will be in the office with whom I have to work with. I have no idea how they will be." She said.

" Don't worry. Everything will be fine." I said.

" I hope so. I am worried about my angry as hell boss. I am afraid that I will not be able to do things properly." She said to me and I chuckled.

" You will, Dee. Don't worry." I said.

" Do wake me up before 7 tomorrow morning. Otherwise I am dead." She said.

" I will wake you up. No worries." I said and she chuckled.

" Ok then." She said.

I walked out of her room and went back to mine. I thought for awhile about the school play. What does Mrs. Greene want to do?! Hell with her!!! Why is she pushing us to do such a thing?!! It's her responsibility not ours. Let's see what is waiting for us tomorrow. It is going to be a long day tomorrow.
