DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

From The Depth Of Heart

Aradhya's POV

" What are you planning to do after graduation?" Juliet asked me and I kept looking at Asher who kept his head on the desk with closed his eyes and fisted his hands. One of his hands was wrapped in bandage. I was wondering what must have happened to him. He was perfectly fine last night.

" I am not sure. May be I will go to college." I said to Juliet.

" I want to go to Harvard." Heidi said and I chuckled.

" Hope you can be there." I said to her and checked if Asher was ok.

" I wanted to focus on my career as a supermodel. I love Stella Campbell. She is an inspiration." Jordana said and I smiled.

" Have you talked to your parents about it?" Juliet asked her. Jordana sighed deeply.

" No. They will never ever agree with that." Jordana said. " So, I have decided that I will flee from home and shift in LA." Jordana said and I rolled my eyes.

" Flop idea." Gabi said.

" Why is that?" Jordana asked her.

" Cause, you will risk your life by doing that." Gabi said.

" No pain, no gain. I have to sacrifice something to achieve something. It's the law of the nature." Jordana said.

" Wow, Jordy!!! I didn't know that there is a philosopher hidden in you. I am amazed." We heard Ardeyn saying. Jordana rolled her eyes at him. I chuckled.

" But that idea was the worst. Don't even think about running away. Your parents will not force you to do something if you are not interested in that." Ardeyn said. " But it will not register in your brain. If your skull box empty?" Ardeyn said poking Jordana's head and she glared at him. " Oh, my God!!! I am burnt!!!" He said smirking at her and she jumped down from the desk and he ran out of there. She ran after him. I shook my head. Kids!!!

" What will you do after graduation, Juliet?" I asked her and she looked out of the window.

" I have no idea. May be I will go to college and then get married with the suitor that my parents choose." She said and I rolled my eyes.

" We are not anymore living in 16th century, girl. You are free to choose a life partner for yourself." I said to her.

" I know but I love my parents and I can't hurt them at all." She said.

" But you can hurt yourself, right?" Heidi asked.

" It will be a whole lot easier for me." Juliet said sighing deeply.

" And what about Ardeyn?" Whitney asked who didn't take part in the conversation just was listening to us silently.

" What about him??! He is just a friend of mine. Nothing else." Juliet said looking out of the window.

" Nothing else, Juliet??! Nothing else?" Whitney asked Juliet but she didn't answer the question.

We all know that Juliet and Ardeyn have something for each other. There is a invisible bond between them. But none of them are ready to accept it. They don't want to accept the fact.

" What are you talking about, girls?" Ardeyn entered the room along with Jordana.

" Nothing. Just was planning for the career." Aradhya said.

" But one thing is clear that we are not going to be together after our graduation." Whitney said.

" Not all of our dreams are the same so we have to part ways. But that doesn't mean that our friendship will die, guys. We will be the same after 10 years from now." Jordana said.

" I hope so but time is a great factor. I don't know if 10 years from now we still have time for each other like today." I said to her. Ardeyn chuckled.

" We can't guarantee anything, Ari. Who knows life can play the worst game with us!!! May be all of us are not alive 10 years from now. Life is so unpredictable. Not everything will be the way you wanted and planned. So, don't think about the future just think that everything will be okay." Ardeyn said.

" I hope that we remain the same 10 years from now. I will really miss you all when I will be in the US." Heidi said and Ardeyn chuckled.

" You have no idea about your future, Heidi. Who knows things may turns something completely different." Ardeyn said and I sighed.

I also don't want things be changed by time. I love my friends. They have encouraged me in every sphere since I have met them. I just don't want to lose them. I will miss everyone when we will be away from each other. It will be hard that we will not be able to hang out every now and then after the graduation. We all will be busy thinking about our career. Will we be able to find time to hang out with each other then?!! I am very scared of left alone after this.

I sighed deeply and the classes started after that. I was sitting next to Asher who was looking before blankly. I bet he wasn't paying attention to the class. This is the first time I have seen him doing that. He wasn't noting down anything just was sitting with the pen and notebook. I sighed inwardly. What happened to him?!! He was perfectly fine last night. Wasn't it supposed to be me who would act like a storm swept over me?!! But why is Asher acting like this?!!

" What were you guys talking about earlier? I missed all of it." He asked me noting down something in his notebook.

" Just about our career. Nothing else." I said to him. He nodded and the class ended.

" How have you hurt yourself?" I asked holding his hand checking the bandage. He kept looking at me weirdly.

" Aradhya, be aware of people from now onwards. Someone very familiar with you can be the reason of the attack on you last night. I am not sure but I am doubting on someone." He said.

" What?!! Who will do that?" I asked him. He sighed deeply.

" If I not wrong it's your father." He said softly and my eyes opened widened.

He stoop that low for money!!! I hate him even more now. I loathe him. From the depth of my heart.
