“It hurts when you give your hundred percent and you don’t get appreciated…”

“What? Girlfriend?” Akash mumbled gulping hard in confusion.
“Yeah…” Shishir nodded.
“No… why boss?” Akash questioned.
“Then give me your cell phone,” Shishir extended his hand towards him.
Akash was startled hearing him. “What does he mean by that? Why does he need my cell phone? Is he not trusting me?” lots of questions crossed his mind.
“I am not lying, boss. I really don’t have a girlfriend,” he stammered.
“I know sometimes some people say such a thing which makes you want to slap them hard on their face, but take my advance, be patient, work hard and slap them hard with your success… trust that slap will vibrate their world more than their cheeks…”[*****]“You tell me first, what is she doing here?” Edward questioned. “She calls you Shishir, and especially got admission on C.M in your recommendation. What is the relation between you both? Tell me what are you keeping from me?”“I am not keeping anything from you. You tell me why are you here?” questioned Shishir sitting on the edge of the fountain trying to ignore all his questions.He, trying to divert the topic, made Edward more suspicious
“Listen to them, let them also express what they actually feel…”[****]“You are trying to hide something from me, am I right? Tell me what is it?”“Nothing, he is not hiding anything,” suddenly Ojaswi interrupted.Shishir’s eyes turned suspicious and in a solemn tone he gave a sharp warning, “I am telling you, if there is anything that you are hiding from me, then the consequence is not going to be well, Akash..”Before Akash could speak anything, Ojaswi hastily said, “I told you there is nothing. Why do you always have to be this suspicious? You never trust me.”“Okay, fine, fine&hel
“I want someone to come to me and say, ‘take a break and let’s go on a ride,’!”[*****]Shsihr walked into the school building with the envelope in his hand. He made his way towards Ojaswi’s classroom but as he reached the halfway point, he came to halt thinking of something.Then changing his thought he made his way towards the office. As he entered the room, Edward got on his feet to greet him.“Good morning…”Shishir nodded and handing him the envelope said, “Take it…”“What is it?” questioned Edward in confusion.“It’s Ojaswi&
“If you say ‘in love, there should be jealous and possessiveness’ then one day when you live that life, you will know how suffocating it is… it all makes sense and feels good only in stories but in real life, it feels like you have lost all your freedom…”[*****]“Why? Why is he this possessive? Just because I am his rival?” Ojaswi thought to herself sitting in the dining hall. Her head was cupped on her both hands and she was breathing heavily.Tears were rolling down her eyes and when she heard the footsteps, she hastily glanced at the person hoping it to be Shishir but sadly it was not him.“Can we talk?” Akash questioned.Ojaswi nodded,
“Why does it feel like all my sorrows have faded away the moment I am in your arms? Why?”[*****]Shishir and Ojaswi sat outside the operation theater. Ojaswi was still trembling in fear and was mumbling like insane.“Just in front of my eyes, he was hit but the car, Shishir,... He was not breathing, he didn’t talk to me… he didn’t say a word…”Shishir wrapped his hand around her shoulder and tried to calm her down. “Okay, okay… calm down. You need to calm down, Ojaswi. Everything is going to be alright.”This was the second accident that she had witnessed live. It was not easy for her to digest it. Her body was feeling numb and there was just
“Hello, Mr. Perfectly fine… How is your heart after breaking mine?... {Obsessed with this song ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine’ by Taylor Swift {Of Course my favorite Artist} if you haven’t heard it yet, you should go and listen to it… I bet you will love it…”[*****]After Two Weeks“It is just for two days… Ojaswi…” said Shishir, looking at her gloomy face.“I know…” she mumbled in a low tone. Even though she had not admitted that she was feeling sad about it but her face was all telling it.She wanted to say, “I will miss you…” but she wasn’t able to do that.
“ Ignorance sometimes might result in attraction.”[*****]As Shishir was driving towards the office, he took his cell phone out and glanced at the blank screen. He wanted to type a message but he had nothing in his mind.The feeling which he was having that moment was completely strange for him as he had never felt it before. There was a different kind of desperation in him.“Why? Why am I just thinking about her? I have gone on many trips before but why does it feel different this time? I had never felt this strange before. Why is she not getting out of my brain?” lots of thoughts crossed his mind.He took a deep breath and turned on the screen. He then typed a message, “I miss you alr
“If you can teach your children the difference between good and bad, there will be no such existence of bad influence. Remember, perspicacity is the biggest influence of all…”[*****]“Take care of Ojaswi,” Shishir instructed, getting down from the car.Standing beside the door, Akash replied, “Don’t worry, boss. You can count on me. I will not let you down.”“I know… I have trust in you that is why I am leaving Ojaswi with you,” said Shishir, placing his hand on his shoulder, then added, “If there is any problem you can call me anytime.”Akash nodded. “Sure boss…”
Ojaswi rubbed her forehead in anxiety. Slowly she stepped in front of the camera and with difficulty she was able to face the camera. Then rubbing her forehead in nervousness, she started, “I…” “Stop…” suddenly Shishir entered the show. “Shishir?” She was astounded, so was everyone. “What are you doing here, Shishir? Don’t worry, I got this, please go,” Ojaswi tried to make him return but Shishir’s eyes were fixed on William. He made his way towards William coldly. “I am not letting you win this easily,” he said looking deep into his eyes. “What do you mean?” William raised his brows. Shishir turned to the camera and said, “I am sorry for intruding in the show this way
“My love for you is infinite in number…”[*****]“Okay, I am in but I have two conditions…”“Go ahead…” William said casually.Carefully, Shishir darted at the screen waiting for her to tell what conditions she had.“First all the voting lines will be live…” she kept her first condition.“Okay done… and second?” William agreed without any hesitation and hurried to hear her next condition.With a grin on her face, she said, “there will be no mention of names in the photographs.”
“Dealing with it seemed almost impossible for me before I remembered people know very little of me and there is no big deal when people judge me knowing very little of me.”[****]“Do you think this will work?” Having doubts about what she was going to do next, Ojaswi questioned Shishir.“Of course, I am damn sure about it. I believe you will get through this. Whatever you have decided is a great move, I am proud of you.” Shishir pulled her in his arms.He kissed her head before letting her go. Ojaswi was about to walk onto the stage when suddenly Kate appeared.“Going without seeing me?”“Kate…” Oja
“No matter how bad things get, the sun will rise again and its light will find you…”#copied[*****]“I am suffocating,” as Ojaswi said suddenly Shishir hit the break.“What? What happened? Is it very serious? Should I take you to the hospital?” he questioned, taking a glance at her. “What a fool I am? Why am I asking you that? I better take you to the hospital.” He started to drive the car again.“No, Shishir doctors cannot help me,” Ojaswi replied sadly.“Is it that serious? Don’t worry once we get there we will know,” he blurted in panic.“I don’t need medical atten
“Give yourself enough respect to walk away from anyone who doesn’t see your worth…”[*****]“Are you ready?” questioned Shishir extending his hand towards her.Ojaswi grasped his hand and stepped out of the car with a warm smile. “Always, when I am with you.”“Okay, then…, let’s go in...”Ojaswi hooked her hand around his arm and they marched towards the school building, which was noisy with loud music coming from the hall.As they were about to reach the hall, suddenly Ojaswi came to halt. Shishir couldn’t understand and questioned, “What happened?”
“If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrifice…”[*****]“Please… don’t do this to me, please…” She begged but he threw her on the road and slipped on the driver's seat.She hastily got on her feet and ran towards him. “Harry, please… stop… please…. Don’t leave me here.”Without paying any attention to her cry, he drove the car away. She ran after his car crying and shouting but he left with a satisfied smile on his face.Helplessly, Ojaswi glanced at both sides. There was no sighting of any vehicle. She didn’t even have her cell phone and there was no way for her to seek help
“When you love what you have you have everything you need…” #copied[****]With tears on the brim of her eyelid, Ojaswi said in a low tone, “I miss you so much, Shishir…”“I too miss you a lot, my love. Don’t worry I will be there soon,” Shishir replied, trying to console her.“It has been one week, Shishir. I have not seen you for one week. You have no idea how hard it is to live without seeing you,” she walked to the window and stood.“Believe me, I too want to see you, my love. But my work is not ending here.” His voice sounded sad.“When are you coming back?” Ojaswi ra
“Small steps in the right direction are better than big steps in the wrong direction…” #copied[*****]Ojaswi hastily ventured, “I am sorry... I am sorry, I didn’t mean to…”Unexpectedly Shishir pressed his lips against her. Ojaswi froze with his action and opened her eyes wide.Pulling away Shishir pressed his forehead against her and cupped her face. “I don’t like fighting with you…”Ojaswi hugged him tightly. “I too don’t like it. I am really sorry.”“It’s alright…” he said pulling away and wrapping his hand around her shoulder pulled her to the bed.
“Some people get mature before their age because life shows them the worst side of the world at an early stage of life…”#copied[*****]“Was it you behind my dad getting the job?”“What?”“Yes or no, Shishir…” she asked, controlling her rage. She was sure that if he was behind it then she was going to explode on him.“Ojaswi, tell me one thing why would I be behind your dad getting the job? Do you think I am that pathetic to control all your life?”“I was just… “Before she could explain
