I most definitely didn't imagine my week like this, when I suggested we should plan something for this weekend in the cafe. My mom is driving me home, fuming from the conversation at the hospital."How long has this been going on? How long have you been lying and sneaking around with him?!", she asked as soon as we got home, shocking the hell out of me."What do you even know about us to talk like that!", I screamed. "Shut up! Don't even try to defend what you did! Is this what you were doing whenever you said you are going to Priti's?""Ma, please if you found out this any other way, you wouldn't react like this", I tried to explain."Mmhmm, how would I react any other way when I find that my daughter is sleeping around!", she shouted."Mom! How could you say that?!", I exclaimed disgusted to even hear those words from her. Is she the women I know? I know she was against relationships and obsessed about the status. But, to jump to conclusions this way? She didn't even let me explain!"You tell me how I should take this. Can you possibly imagine what I felt when you said the time like 6 to 10 for god's sake!", her eyes moistened as she sat on the couch."It is already hard for me to balance this family when you never talk to your father properly, just because he works far away and visits us once in months. Now, tell me how possibly should I take this? Why can't you be normal like every other girl in society? Do you have to cause problems with everything?", she said cutting me with every word.I stood there as a lump started to form when she started talking about dad. She knows how emotional that topic is in the house. I am not normal, right? I am not perfect as she wants me to be. All she cares about is her reputation."If you wanted a perfect daughter, you should have given birth to a robot, not a human", I said which landed me another slap."It's not your mistake, it is mine, I have given you the freedom more than necessary. You will never see that boy again and you are not leaving this house until school starts", she said leaving me in the hall.I have been in my room for hours now. I am so irritated with everyone and everything! Something about this situation is amiss. I know she is not happy about the relationship but, she reacted like she was deprived of something! She didn't even let me explain. She just imagined whatever she wanted. I just wanted to know what's happening with Darsh right now. I don't know why but, I have this bad feeling.I have ignored the calls from Abhi, Priti and Virin. And looked for the name I want, to pop up on the screen.It took another hour of waiting, it was almost midnight when a text came, 'can you meet me?'. I got up and ran out to the terrace to meet him at our usual spot.There he stood facing the other side. I tried to look as presentable as I can with the swelling cheek and puffy eyes. When he turned around his expression changed from shock to anger when he saw my cheek.I just hugged him and tried to take a whiff of his scent which calms me every time. But, it did the opposite today. I crumbled as everything that has happened crashed on me.He hugged me back putting on an ice pack on my cheek. I looked at him confused. "Priti told me everything that happened at the hospital.", he said as his jaw clenched."I knew my mom was against relationships but, the way she reacted was totally shocking. I never knew she would be that harsh. She never said anything when I avoided my dad. I thought she understood but, she said she tolerated it. She asked, why can't I be normal?", I said everything that's been killing me for hours now.He just listened patiently. "You know how shocked I was when our moms were full-on criticizing each other. Anyone must have thought they were sworn, enemies", he took my cheeks in his hands which made me flinch a little from the pain. "Sorry", he said releasing my face and settled with the hands."I am sorry I gave us away when I partly knew how they would react", he said looking down at our clasped hands."I love you", I blurted out as his eyes shifted back into mine immediately. He smiled kissing me on the forehead "I love you too"."Baby, this is not some 1960s that we give up just because parents didn't accept it", I said and he chuckled. "I know they are still stuck in the late-era and never be open-minded but, tell me you will never leave me.", I asked him hugging him by the waist, laying my chin on his chest smiling a little to not show how miserable I am inside.He pecked me on the lips and hugged me. What does this mean? ~~~***~~~Related chapters

March 13th, 2015Ava's pov:"You stay right here. Don't pull any other stunt, I'll be back in 10 mins", said my mom leaving me with Kyra and Priti in the hospital room. I nodded keeping my head down. I tried to look as innocent as possible till she left.I released my breath and sat comfortably on the couch at the end."Omg, I am eloping with Darsh. Final!", I cried out leaning back.Kyra snorted while Priti gave me are you serious look. "What? I am serious. Get ready to be an aunt Priti", I said looking serious. "Gosh, stop it. Your mom will through you out the window if she heard you.""It wouldn't be worse than her lecture", I said rolling my eyes. "It's been a week since I saw him. She even took my phone when she caught me coming back after I met Darsh that night", I felt helpless and exhausted mentally."Umm, I am not saying that it's nothing. But, it's better than getting stabbed by a psycho", said Kyra. I felt sorry for her and I am glad that they finally caught the criminal who

Ava's pov:My mom was back from the canteen after a good 15 mins and said we are leaving. I left the door before she could complete the sentence, 'let's go', and she looked at me confused.I was speed walking in the halls when she caught up with me and asked, "Why do look like that?", maybe I am not as good at trying to keep up the blank look. "Nothing", I said gritting my teeth not to shout in the halls. "God, what did you do now?", she mumbled making me stop in my tracks. That's it! "Do you hate me that much that you didn't even give me a choice for who I want in my life?!", I shouted as she halted. "What do you mean?", she looked at me. "When were you going to tell me about the engagement?", I deadpanned as her face shown her realization."Ava, let me explain. It's not as bad as you thin..", she is still defending it! I once again started to walk, not minding the excuse she is giving me leaving her behind.I am sick of this! All that drama and restriction was because of her disap

March 20, 2015Ava's pov:"I just fed you for God sake! let me take a nap", I said dozing off as the dog barked in my ears again. "Aish! What is it?", I said getting up. I started counting my fingers going over the things I did, walking check, feeding check. "What? It's just been a week since I got you! It takes time to remember. Don't give me that look", I said looking at her disapproving eyes. "Oh we had to buy a collar!", I exclaimed and she wagged her tail. "Huh got it, let's go!", I said picking her up. •_____•"Leave it, leave it! It's too expensive! Are you trying to loot me!", I whisper yelled trying to pull the collar she grabbed in her mouth fighting like a kid in toy store. Out of all the cheap ones she could have picked! Gosh, I am not giving in to those dog eyes no! Ugh, I paid for the collar giving up every penny in my purse as she wagged her tail happily with the collar and belt. "Don't flaunt yourself much. There are no other dogs here". I

August 2015Ava's pov:'Please check the number you have dialled'. I heard the same automated voice I got used to over the months. He is not going to come back, how hard is it to accept?I squatted down as I placed a finger over the wall where the immature me wrote D&A in a heart. I looked around the terrace, taking a deep breath as heaviness started creeping in. Every spot here had a memory of us. I was trying to push down the longing feeling when my phone started ringing. "Ava, they are leaving now. Come down", said Abhi. Why did I still hope if it was him who called? How pathetic. "Yeah, I will be there in a minute". •______•"Miss me every day okay!", I laughed as Virin kissed my cheek hugging me."Yeah don't irritate Priti much. She is not used to you as much as me", I said wiping his tears with my sleeves. "Out of all the colleges, he could have applied to!", Priti groaned crossing her arms ready to hop in the car. "I still don't know how they accep

4 years laterApril 2019Ava's pov:"You know how biased you are?", I said rolling my eyes at Arun. "No, I have only one ass", he replied looking back at his body."God! You need to follow better meme pages", I said crinkling my face. "You are just jealous of my timing", I made a gagging face at the smug look on his face."Oh, I can help you stop the puke. Come here", he said before he wrapped his arm around my throat.I stepped right on his toe which made him release me with a yelp. "Don't you dare", I said smirking. "Shit! There goes my nail!", he cried out falling on to me. I supported him as he circled his arm around me. "Who told you to chock me then?", I said helping him get on to the nearest bench in college ground. "What happened here?", came my other friend in this college, Siddi munching on a bag of chips. "She murdered my toe!", overreacted Arun to which she rolled her eyes and asked how did our exam go."Exam went well but, waiting for you is not going well every day. Do

Ava's pov:I crouched down picking up the same card as every day waiting for me on the terrace. I laughed out loud reading the cringe-worthy quote, 'Have enough courage to trust love one more time'.I took that down with me and put it in the pile of cards I have received for years. I took out my phone and dialled the ingenious person. "You are getting sappier each day", I said giggling as he lifted the call. "Well, I don't have to if you have given me chance. It's been years and I am running out of quotes", Said Abhi making me roll my eyes. I paused biting my nail as I didn't know what to say. I don't know if I am ever ready to give a second chance. "Stop worrying much and get down to the lawn. I took Rocher here for a walk", he said. I looked at her bed and realized she was not there. "Ok, on my way", I said and went down to the lawn and saw Rocher bouncing happily with her tongue out around Abhi."It's beyond me how she likes you so much. She just ignores everyone as bugs looking

Ava's pov:"Come on girls! It's just once a week. The least you could do is, ten laps a week", shouted our drill 'instructor'. "Exactly my point sir! We'll be useless not even moving little finger for the other six days and one day is not going to pay! Let us gossip for once", Said Sharon mumbling the last part. Yeah, I agree, we just completed another exam for God sake!"If you seven don't join the others in the next 30 seconds you will be picking wrappers around the college for a month", Came his threat which made the other six of us betray Sharon who was lounging around on the steps. "Argh! Bitches! So much for chatter", she mumbled as she joined us on the sweat bath. "So, what's going on these days. Why is it that Pea brained Ashu is on your back?", Sharon asked panting, it's just been 5 seconds on track.Sharon is the only person other than Siddi and Arun, whom I consider close to a friend in this college. "See! She noticed too! You said I was being paranoid", Said Siddi givin

Ava's pov:"Ma! We still have time, let me just wear a churidar. God will not hate me if I don't go in a saree", I requested as she tried to rearrange it for the millionth time! "God will not but Meera Aunty will flip out. She requested to see you in saree for once", she said adamantly flattening the slight wrinkle. I am not sure if it's just Abhi's mom who is most willing to see me in the saree Because my mom behaved like it's my first day of school all over again while putting on the saree. "Okay, Ava I know you are not a fan of traditional pujas but please don't sleep. If you feel sleepy go somewhere else, like they have 15 rooms in that house! Don't snore in the middle of it like last time", she reprimanded me like I was a kid as she drove us to Abhi's home.I just sat quietly because she will continue for hours. "Say namaste to everyone", she mumbled one last time when we entered their home before she left with a huge smile greeting someone.I searched for Abhi in the big hall

Ava's POV:"This is from her ear piercing. She was so tiny just months old, look at her cute chubby cheeks and pouting mouth. They told me a gunshot was easier and less painful. But, man the second she cried. I cried with her and shouted at those innocent people", I explained to Abhi showing a video of Sara. "And this one", I laughed zooming in on the picture. "When I first got her home. Rocher was adamant on keeping her away from me. You know she came up with ideas to take our baby far while I was sleeping and cuddled with me", he looked at me like he couldn't believe it. "But I thought dogs love kids?", he asked me going through the pictures. "She does love Sara But, Rocher just got jealous at the time. They fight like siblings", I smiled looking at Sara's picture where she was covered with chocolate all over her face then he went to the next one. "I quickly grabbed my phone and shot this one while she was taking her first steps", I told him with adoration. I was so proud of her a

Ava's pov:"Abhi, your face was hilarious", I teased him as we left the cafe. The lift doors closed and I was laughing hard clutching the handle on my side. We were the only ones in here so I didn't hold back.I was still laughing as he suddenly grabbed my left buttock firmly in his right hand, brushing my long hair to the right side with his left hand before placing it on the back of my head. He tilted his head down to stare into my eyes, "You look gorgeous in this dress", I turned red as he stared at me with lust, rubbing his thumb over my bottom lip. "But I don't like it that you dressed for another man", then he kissed me deeply mouth to mouth. Holding my hair, and ass in his hands until the elevator came to an abrupt stop. The lights blinked and elevator doors were still closed, but it's not moving either! "What's wrong?", I panicked moving to the doors as Abhi just hugged me from behind pressing his nose into my neck. "I pressed the stop button and I guess it messed the whole th

Ava's Pov:"Ava, what did he say?", My mom asked me as I got out of my room. "Ma, Sara barely recovered concentrate on your granddaughter please", I went to the fridge dodging her. My parents are panicking more than me. Knowing them, Understandable. "I love my Sara and I know she is better now. Don't divert this. It's been a day since you told him. Why is he taking time if he is not thinking otherwise?", I rolled my eyes and sat down on the stool by the counter in the kitchen drinking some water. "It's been 19 hours and most of it was night. Let him think Ma, it's a big decision on anyone. You swore to not look at him again, before Sara happened or should I remind you the exact dialogue", I said peacefully when I am nowhere near that. This is what bothers me. I don't want them to accept Abhi because of Sara. I want them to look at him as he is. "Ava, what if he decides to not come back to you?", my dad came in asking me. "It's Abhi Pa, I didn't tell him for my reasons. But, I alway

All their cousins are here too. Some of Priti's cousins were giving me weird looks and I understand why. I killed their cousin. Even though everyone knows what kind of a person he was. They are still shocked to see me in person. It's making me uncomfortable. But, this is expected. Abhi came in talking on the phone. I was watching his every move. At least this

Ava's Pov:"Good morning Pa", I yawned leaning on my dad, Who was busy with a newspaper. He kissed my forehead drawing me into him more as I got comfortable on his shoulder. "What about me?", my mom lifted her hand. She was working in the kitchen making Sunday special breakfast Puri. "I love you, mummy", I smiled lazily. I was still sleepy. "What about Sara and Varun?", my mom asked. "They are still sleeping", It was a busy day yesterday. "Okay, as you are already awake eat breakfast and get ready Nana, we need to go shopping. Swathi and Mano already called twice", My mom is ecstatic that her two best friends are going to be relatives through this wedding. Not just their mums even Kyra and Priti will be related wow. "Mammy!", Sara shouted. I got up from the sofa and ran to my room, she was restless looking around my room half asleep. "Shh, it's okay Sara. You are in my room", I hugged her sleeping on the bed. She still needs to get used to a new place. Roche was already up and lick

"But, mama she is imitating my every move", She pouted. "Keera mamma!", She complained to Kyra as she and Varun were busy with the luggage. "Okay, okay. Leave it, baby aren't you excited to see everyone? You'll meet Virin and Priri for the first time no? Don't ruin your mood come here", Ava lifted the four-year-old as the little one leaned onto her bosom getting comfortable, poking her tongue at Rocher who was sitting on the cabin bag rolling her eyes. "You okay? Kyra asked Ava as they walked out hand in hand. They both shared excitement but, she is scared too. Ava carried Sara and Kyra got Rocher as Varun was moving luggage. They looked around for a few seconds as Ava let a su

(hopefully)~~~~"We are getting married!!!", Priti shouted as Ava and Kyra stood up closing their mouths, watching the couple through the laptop. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!", They both caught each other's hands jumping up and down. Sara the four year started jumping with them even though she didn't know why. Virin and Priti just laughed watching the three. "Yes!!! Finally!! We three will dance to the song we dreamed of in Sangeet! And Oh! Oh! Kyra and I will get matching clothes as you. We will play your love story! Kyra will be Virin and I will be Priti!

Third person's pov: After 2 years:"Hi, my parents like your family so much. And don't mind me saying this out of the blue but, you look gorgeous in person", Ava gave a fake smile refraining so hard from rolling her eyes. Instead, she tucked a hair strand behind her ear and caught the end of her Dupatta. "I work in Meta. I-", Ava cut him off before he reads out his biodata. "Did you know I was married before?", The guy lifted his brows like he didn't sign up for this. "I have two kids with him. I have no problem with him my family doesn't approve of him so they just forced me to leave him and here I am", He didn't look convinced and was about to call her BS. "This is him by the way", She showed a picture of her and Abhi kissing on the lips. "Hot right? You should know if by any chance they get me married to you. Future kids will still look like him", He was up and running down the stairs but not before. "You don't have to disrespect people calling them to your house".She didn't w

Ava's POV:'A loved son and friend now resting safe and at peace' I took out the dried flowers and replaced them with fresh ones. Doing the same with Sharon's grave which resided side by side."Oh, hey baby. You need some help picking up the garbage", Arun said lifting his eyebrows silly at Sharon."If you want to keep all your teeth intact. NEVER call me baby again", Said Sharon giving him a death stare."I love you too baby", came his reply annoying her more.""Are you still bickering?", I asked smiling through the tears. "Ava, man, I love her so much. God, I want to kiss that uncensored mouth almost every second of my life", I scrunched my nose as Arun smirked watching Sharon walk by us, rolling her eyes at him. "How can I forgive myself?", I hiccuped resting my hands on them. "Isn't simple to just sit there and cry when all it takes for you is what? Days? Months? To move on with your life?", I whipped my head towards Sharon's parents. "Stop it Neerja", Sharon's father caught h
