Chapter 3
As soon as they reached to school, they heard the bell ringing. She ran towards the door. She reached the class right before teacher entered. Alright submit your assignment. As soon as all students heard this they started creating ruckus in the class.
“SILENCE!”
“Submit it quietly in my desk and come one by one in my cabin.” Miss moly, their science teacher said this and went to her cabin.
“Thank god I was on time” Babi said while sighing from relief.
“You look hot today. Is it a special day?” Megan said while glancing at Babi.
“Stop it! I was in rush so I wore whatever I got.”
“I am not saying anything. I just said you look hot. You will kill more boys today than usual”
“I already have many things in my mind. So can you stop being a bitch and listen to me?”
“Ok ok tell me”
“I have already promised Andreu a date and Josh will never let me go there and I have to go for a swimming session today with him. Please help me”
“Come on! He is not even your boyfriend. Why you are so panicked bout it? Just tell him you are going to meet somebody.”
“I don’t want to create any issue. Help me already”
“I will say you are going with me besides I also have to avoid that annoying ass.”
Babi made a face like question mark, “I am not following.”
“Leave it to me don’t worry.”
Then they both headed towards teacher’s cabin when they saw josh coming out form there. He was done with his viva.
“How did it go lover boy?”
“Well same old miss Moly. All she can do is yelling. She asks more then she teaches. Good luck to you guys.”
“Sometimes I feel she had bad sex with her boyfriend that why she is in bad mood and takes it out on us” Megan joked while laughing.
“Ok bye guys m out I have another class.” Josh went while winking towards Babi.
“Why didn’t you say to him now that I am going with you?” Babi asked Megan while pinching her.
“Not now if he asks you don’t have to report to him”
They both went inside the cabin together.
I said one by one. Why are you two together? Megan goes and waits.
“Ok mam” she replied with a sulking face.
After taking Babi’s viva, miss moly had a big smile over her face.
“Astonishing! I knew I can expect best from you” miss moly patted Babi’s back
Babi got up and went out while saying thank you while taking a deep sigh. About after half an hour Megan was also done with her viva.
“Omg! She is too much. Next time I am ditching her all the class. I can’t take her anymore” Megan said with tired face. Till two of afternoon they were done with all their classes.
“Let’s go we are already late. I promised to meet Andreu at four. ”
“Relax babes we are going there. Come on get in now. We will go to my place first. I don’t think you need to change. Just redo your hair.”
Megan’s house was on another street from Babi’s. The town Winslow was beautiful small town with the population of less than ten thousand. So it’s like everybody knows everybody. Megan is the kind of girl who is friends with everybody and everybody knows her she is jolly natured innocent yet naughty girl. She is not into relationships and love at all. She like to en joy her life and her motto is take one step at a time in life who knows what you miss while worrying about future. She is tall black girl with distant features.
They went to Megan’s house. She took Babi directly to her room and after few minutes she got ready and left for venue that he sent to her. She found him waiting for her.
“Sorry I made you wait.”“No worries I just reached here. So shall we”
“Where are we going?
One of my Favourite restaurants. It is outside the city so we should be leaving now”
“Okay let’s go”
She hesitated for a second but she went with him. They reached a restaurant and what she saw she didn’t bunged in front of restaurant but a club.
“Why are we going there? We were going in the restaurant right?” Babi asked anxiously.
“Relax; it’s just a club, besides its still daylight.”
“Ok but I will leave early.”
“Ok”
They went in and sat on the corner table. As usual lightening was very dark and music was loud. They ordered drinks. Babi asked for non-alcoholic ones so they proceeded as such
She was freaking out at first after sometime she relaxed a bit. They started enjoying a bit. He was telling how she likes to play guitar and his was father wants him to pursue business and all that. Babi was just listening with a smile but inside she was getting bored.
“Ok let’s have some tequila shots”
“Noo I am underage”
“Do you see any police? Come on lets have them”
They had Two two shots of tequila and then he pulled her in the dance floor.
“No I don’t want to dance.”
“Get over it.”
They started to dance and after some time he started move his hands fleshly over her thighs and from thighs towards her waist inside her mini dress.
“I am not here for this.” She told him profoundly while removing her hands from her waist.
“Then why you are here? Don’t be drama queen and tell me that you are just because you lost that day in the game.” Then he pulled Babi toward him from her waist.
“Why are you being like this?”
He didn’t listen to her started kissing her. Somebody was watching all this. In no time a flying punch landed over Andreu’s face.
She thought it was Josh but she was shocked to learn that it was Joshua.
“You touch her again and you are died.”
“Hey calm down little kid and go away you don’t have any business here.” Andreu said while balancing himself once but before he could finish another punch was waiting for him. After that he started beating him. Though Joshua was younger then Andreu but he works out making him bigger than him.
Babi ran towards him and tried to stop him. “It’s ok he learnt his lesson. Let’s go now.”
“You don’t get to speak. Stay away I don’t want to hurt you” she saw his eyes, they were blood red. He was looking like a beast that won’t stop until one of them dies.
“I am sorry stop now please! I beg you” Babi went again and held his hand. He looked at her. She was almost on the verge of crying. He couldn’t see her face like this and stopped and immediately pulled her hand and dragged her out of bar.
He passed her helmet and told her to sit from his eyes. He was riding the bike with very high speed.
“What were you doing there in first place?”
“I followed you here.”
Babi was lost of words when she heard that.
“Followed me? Does that even makes sense”
“……”
“Since when were you following me?”
“……”
“I ASKED YOU SINCE WHEN YOU WERE FOLLOWING ME?”
He speeded up his bike. Babi was clamping in his waist with her hands.
“Since you left with Megan.”
“WHAT THE HELL? Why would you do that?”
“Because I heard you guys talking.”
“As your sister I am telling you this……” before she could finish, Joshua pulled breaks and stopped the bike. And turned towards her and said
“Don’t say that to me again. You will never be a sister to me. I consider you my……………………….friend.”
“Ok let’s go now”
“You know that she is a class jerk. When will you start understanding people?”
“Don’t tell all this to your brother.”
“As if I talk to him.”
“Can’t you fix things with your brother?”
“We are not doing that thing again.”
He dropped her in front of her house and went straight to opposite direction to her house.
JOSHUA POV
When I first met her, I was 7 years old. She was just any other person visiting my home. I didn’t pay attention because she was my brother’s friend and I despise everything that belongs to my brother. Sometimes I feel like I am just furniture who is there in this house and nothing else for my parents. They have eyes for my brother only and he is their only son, their ideal son.
I am just their mistake who they have to tolerate. Since I have known, I am always compared with him. “Can’t you learn anything from him, see him he is not complaining then why are you? You will get this thing when his is also demolished.” I feel like a trash sometimes, they call me stubborn as if I ask them they will give what I want without creating an issue.
Chapter 4JOSHUA POVMostly I’ve seen that the smallest kid is dearest to parents but why is it opposite in my case? Why is it that they have to compare me with him? Do I have to be him?There’s nothing new about it.Babi.. What should I say about her. First she was just a person who takes side of me but she is much more to me than words can define. She was the only person who genuinely used to listen, all banters and chit chats when I was a kid. When I was growing up I never saw my father home and mother also started working again. They never had time for me. I was left alone with babysitter and Josh.as he was elder then me, and he is book worm, always used to study. Whenever I went to him talk to him or play with him, he just scolds me. But Babi she was always by my side whenever I needed somebody. With pass
As soon as she saw the message, she panicked. She couldn’t get how Josh knew about all this mess. She was trying to come up with good reason for all this but she couldn’t. And just then she heard knocking over the door. She went to open the door; josh was shocked to see her. In this entire ruckus, she forgot that she didn’t wear anything after coming from the shower. Josh quickly turned back. Though they sleep together, they cuddle but he hasn’t seen Babi like that. He felt current flowing through his whole body. Babi realized what she has done. She quickly went inside the bathroom and wore her night dress while thinking about what just happened!She felt like she should dig the whole and bury herself there. Even after waring the clothes, she couldn’t mutter the courage to go out. After a long time she went out. Josh was sitting over the chair near her study table.“I am really sorry. I had something in my mind. I forgo
Chapter 6 Joshua POV Mum left after cleaning the wounds and lecturing me. I don’t get it, how can she always manage to see bad in me. While smoking standing in the balcony, I was thinking what life would I had if Josh wasn’t born and I know this is not right to think, but all I could think that he is the main reason of my miseries. He has never ever understood me; all he does is scold me and taunt me. I have seen any brotherly bonding between us and he contributed to it equally. It kills me from inside every time I see him coming near Babi. I know she is his friend first but that doesn’t mean that I cannot love her. In this whole world she is the only person who understands me. She is literally my anchor who stops me from falling from edge. Tears were rolling from my eyes while cigarette smoke
JOSHUA POV As soon as Joel blew the whistle, all the bikers start to fly their bike. 3rd rider was the one who was ahead of all of us. I was at last. I don’t show my potential just right at the beginning. It’s fun to let people believe that they are winning and enjoy their reaction at finishing line. While I was moving ahead, I saw the biker next to me looking like at me and passing a snarky smile. It was a smile that I couldn’t get at first but next he did was push me, trying to get me out of the race. Suddenly I was the picture of Babi and my brother together in my mind. All the anger and feeling of betrayal came rushing through my veins. I don’t know since when I started to lover this much but with each and every passing moment, it is starting to get harder to see them together. I know she can’t be mine. I know what I want is the exact thing I can never have. It’s like having a best friend that you love but can’t tell her that you lov
JOSHUA POV I went in and next thing I saw was my father and Josh leaving for the trip chauffer was getting the car ready. In order to avoid them I decided to go from back side of the door. It’s right where the garden ends. I parked my bike and I pumped up as soon as I can because I didn’t want them to notice me. It’s been such a mentally and physically exhausting day, I needed to roll few cigarettes and let it all out. Back door opens directly near my room. When I went in my room I was everything was perfectly placed, it looks like mum cleaned it herself. I went in to take a cold shower. In this cold chilly winter I still feel hot. I don’t know why may be because of lava I have inside it’s been really long day. While I was taking shower, I heard my phone ringing. I decide to ignore it as I was enjoying me time with myself. Washing me is the thing that I never forget. I often wash myself with too vigour and
JOSHUA POV “Ok, don’t waste more time huh” I said to her while walking upstairs. I went inside her room. It was just like it always has been small cozy place. Strange thing is I feel more comfortable has been. May be because of the person it belongs. It had small comfy bed with dark coloured sheets covering all over it. I sat on the bean bag near the bed. After five minutes, she came with a plate of food. Strangely we never conversed about me being hungry but somehow she already knew. My heart skipped a beat. “Who told you I was hungry?” regardless of the feelings. I decided to throw a pun to cover my mushy feelings. “So you are telling me you ate already? I know you haven’t. But if you saw so!” she said while placing the tray over table and sitting on the other bag. “I will have them.” I saw she prepared my favourite bacon cheese sandwich with mustard sauce and noodles with no soya sauce. She knows my taste bud very accurately. Sh
Joshua POV"Joshua! Joshua! What you doing" suddenly I heard Babi screaming over me. I was astounded for few minutes then I came back to my senses. Dream... that was damn dream... off course that was. I happens to be that my mind was being little bitch. The devastation was literal all over my face."What happened? I thought we were taking a break." Babi screamed at me again except this time her louder than last time. I had to save my face and rationalize my behaviour.” stop yelling!! I ain't anywhere. Just right here. I was thinking what I am doing here with all those stupid books and all? "“Hey you stop throwing an attitude. You are not alone sitting here at almost three" her face was telling how much she was hurt with my words. That’s when I realized how rude I was. She was awake at this hour for me. "Sorry sorry, it’s just I couldn't get this question and
BABI POVBut It doesn’t matter how I feel. What matters is that other person doesn’t care, so I had to refrain myself from letting out my true feeling and “ pretend” to be ok. While I was held up in figuring out my feelings for him, he was planning his future. I felt like a fool to waste my time over him. This taught people first think of whats best for them, not about you and if you are smart you will also do the same.“ babi! babi! what happened? What are you thinking? Say something darling….” Funny enough he dared to ask me what happened when all was happening infront of him and he still managed to un see it. I feel like I would waste my energy if I try to reason with him. “nothing… when are you guys planning to leave?”“after this semester but I had to get gpa above 9.00. its really tuff. I am thinking about leaving swimming club. I mean I have to leave it anyway.&rdq
Chapter 17JOSHUA POVThis was my first time being close to someone other than Babi, but I feel like I needed it because I have to get accept the fact that the one she loves will always be my brother no matter what. I have to give myself a break from constantly loving her. I have to say I didn’t enjoy her company and she means nothing to me. she is just a distraction for me. I don’t want to impose my feeling on Babi knowing the fact that she has already gone through so much but that doesn’t I can just stop loving her. taking care of her is getting harder and harder for me due to the fact that I can't control my feelings. I have to find other ways to distract myself. I didn’t enjoy today’s company and whenever I closed my eyes I couldn’t stop imagining Babi on her. I kept on remembering her sweet touch, whenever she rolls her hand over my hair shivers run through my whole body, I just want to grab her and kiss her so hard but I can't. I know she loves me but that is
They were getting really closer to each other. Suddenly they heard Frencheska’s voice. They both left each other others hands which had almost turned into an embrace. They saw her coming from far while holding so much food. Joshua quickly ran to help her.They both returned to the table, “wow! It was a long queue, next time I am telling you guys either of you is going to get food. I am not gonna stand again on that long queue of people. “ how about we should start eating because I am really hungry?” Babi said to both of the bickering people. Soon they all started eating. Babi ordered her usual sandwich “I will never get enough of this sandwich. I just love it.” Franchesca said with a delighted mood. In a short period Babi and Frencheska have become really close to each other. They have developed a bond that every girl needs in her life. Babi knows and everything about Frencheska like how her past boyfriend ditched her and how she took her revenge. She is no simple girl
Five years later… “Come on Babi we have to leave, we are getting late for classes” “Jjjust there!!! Joshua.” Sound of running echoed the full main gate. THUD! A loud sound followed with the last one, making Joshua run towards the sound. He sprinted as he knew what that was all about. “Babi when will you stop being careless and week.” Joshua said while picking her up from ground. “You said to hurry up” Babi said while trying to get up with Joshua’s help. She all the stuff from her bag was on the floor. Joshua made her sit on the guard’s chair and picked her books and other stuff along with bag. “I didn’t say to die while running, besides it not first time you were on the ground? In fact it happens a lot.” Joshua was still scolding her suddenly she started crying. Clearly he didn’t expect her to cry. He quickly ran towards her and started wiping tears followed by speaking in a rather soft tone, “why are you crying again? Haven’t I told you not to cry? It’s been more than four ye
Babi povThe fact that Joshua sent him completely sobered me up. I kept thinking about that on the way home. I reached home in no time and found that papa still hasn’t returned home. his activities these days concern me. I mean what is his actions have been suspicious lately. He comes less often, talks less, always thinking. in my whole life, I have never seen him like that. He also never told me about his past and what made him leave his own country. There has to be a big reason for a person to leave his own motherland. As a kid, I never thought of that but these days I keep wondering about that. What if he is in deep trouble? What if he needs help? He is my only family. I don’t want to lose him. I went inside my house, it felt so cold like a dead cold. It didn’t feel like a house, it felt like a cabin with no warmth, and with the warmth, I don’t mean heat, I mean heat. Today is proving to be the worst day of my life.I sat over the floor and my eyes were oozing out of tears.
Babi povI went in to change but I wanted to take a shower so I headed towards the washroom. Maybe it was because of tequila I wasn’t feeling a little bit dizzy. I felt like I was walking on a tight-fitted rope. My mind was under full control but my body was on its own. It wasn’t working as it planned. I saw soap lying on the floor and I panicked like hell. It was already really hard to walk straight, and as soon as I saw soap, in an attempt to dodge it I fell on the floor really badly.“aahhhhhhh!” I can't tell you in words how much painful that felt. I saw Andrew running towards me.“what happened? I told you to be careful, why the hell are you in here? I told you to hurry and here you are in a towel.”“can you please stop expounding for a second and help me get up. It is really painful.”“ok ok… I will”Then he helped me get up and then I sat up on the bench.“ babi
Babi povI was about to depart but I couldn’t help but observe her. I know she hates being alone, especially at night but that thing is destroying her from the inside. If I swoop in now, there is nothing that she is gonna learn from that. I made a hard decision and left.I decided to stay and have some drinks. I really needed something stronger for the things I have to deal with. I parked my motorbike in the parking zone and went in. I decided to have just one or two drinks since papa has probably returned.“ two tequilas please”The waiter gave me two shots of tequila. I gulped them in one go. But in no time. Those two shots became ten. Luckily I don’t get drunk easily and I have such a good tolerance for drinks, it didn’t affect me at all. I decided to stop myself at a tenth shot and go back home now. The way back home has never seemed that long like today. Today was a long day for me, all day with the test and Josh. Suddenly I remember papa was
