DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

Trust Issue

Aradhya's POV

" Where are we going, Asher?" I asked him.

" You will love it." He said.

" But where is that?" I asked him.

" You will see." He said and I sighed.

So, Asher has invited me to have a dinner with his grandparents. I mean not only me, he has invited the girls too. But as my home is far away from his grandparents. So, he came to pick me up on the way.

" Alright." I said to him.

" What was Eros saying that day?" He asked me.

" Oh, he invited me to meet his grandmother as well." I said to him.

" Don't go anywhere with him." He said to me.

" Why?!" I asked him.

" Because I am saying. I hope you will do as I say." He said and I sighed.

" There should be a reason, Asher. Why to act that way without any reason?" I asked him.

" There is a reason. That's why I am asking you to stay away from him." He said and I sighed.

" If I am not aware of the fact why is he abandoned from the group then how can I decide if I should avoid him or not?" I asked him and he sighed deeply.

" He told you that his grandmother came here to London?" He asked me.

" Yes, he said so." I said to him.

" His grandmother passed away last year." He said to me and I looked at him weirdly.

" What?!!" I asked him and he sighed deeply.

" How do you know that?" I asked him.

" That doesn't even matter. The only thing matter is he is dangerous for you though you think he is your friend but he is trying to get closer just to have your trust on him." He said and I narrowed my eyes.

" Why would he do that?" I asked him and he looked away.

" Aradhya, listen to me and listen that very good. There is no safe place for a girl anywhere. Not even at their own house. They can be victim anywhere. They are not even safe with their family members let alone their friends. You understand what I say??!" He said and I nodded.

" I understand." I said.

" You should not trust anyone blindly. Not even me." He said and I looked at him weirdly. He nodded.

" I am serious. Girls are not safe anywhere. You can't trust me blindly as well. I can be harmful for you. You don't know what is going on in my head. Can you guarantee that I am not going to hurt you?! No one can  do that, Aradhya. Be careful." He said and I kept looking at him weirdly.

" But I can't doubt on you, Asher. Come on." I said to him.

" You should. From how long do you know me?!" He asked me. " 2 years at best? How can you trust someone that easily?! 2 years is not a long time to build up a trust issue that easily." He said and I thought for awhile.

" But you have given me enough valid reason to trust you, Asher." I said and he sighed deeply.

" Whom am I talking to!!!!" He said frustratedly. " What am I saying? Hasn't any of my words registered in your head?!" He asked me and I sighed deeply.

" I do understand what you were talking about but how can I disbelieve you?" I asked him.

" It was just an example. You know, just was saying you. Ok, forget it. It's not about me. Think about someone else. Some other friend whom you are not that close to." He said to me. I sighed.

" I know that's why I don't have a huge friend circle. I don't have to worry about it. Easy." I said to him leaning back on the seat.

" I was just trying to make you aware of this. I will not be everywhere with you to keep you safe. So, you have to take care of yourself. You have to understand that not everyone is safe for you." He said.

" I understand, Asher." I said.

" You didn't." He said and I sighed deeply.

" What should I do then?" I asked him.

" Nothing. Leave it." He said and I chuckled.

" Asher, I will be careful and I will ask Eros why had he said something like that. He shouldn't drag his late grandmother in this." I said to him and he rolled his eyes.

" No. You will not talk to him anymore. Just avoid him. He is not a good influence." He said.

" Why do you guys hate him that much?" I asked him.

" He deserves that. That's why." He said and I sighed.

" Why don't I know the reason?" I asked him and the car stopped at once. He chuckled.

" It seems like no one wants you to know the reason." He said and opened the door before getting down from the car. He walked toward my side and opened the door for me before extending his hand toward me. I chuckled holding his hand.

" Shall we?" He asked me. I nodded.

I turned to see the huge luxurious Mansion before me. I shook my head. Rich people has weird wishes to spend money on. They build this huge mansion in this remote area!!! I shook my head.

" This is your grandfather's house?" I asked him.

" No, this is a casino." He said rolling his eyes. I sighed deeply.

" This is huge!!! How much has he spend on this?" I asked him. He shrugged.

" If it was for business then he might had a idea how much he has expended on it but it was build for his family. So, he didn't care about the money he spend on it." He said.

" Who needs this big house to live?" I asked him. He chuckled.

" He build it to live with his siblings and the family but unfortunately they left one by one. Not even we live here with them. So, they live here with more than 300 employees who works in the mansion." He said and I sighed deeply.

We had a beautiful evening with Asher's family. He left me home at 9.

" Aradhya!!!" He called me from back when I was going inside.

" What?" I asked him.

" Thanks for trusting me." He said.

" What?!" I asked.

" Bye. See you." He said and I stood there completely confused.
