Point Of View: AmayraRishi was standing with his well-known smirk on his face. He was in black jeans and a shirt and grey jacket. A little odd for a train journey, I guess.“What are you doing here”? I asked surprisingly.He took the handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to me. I looked at the handkerchief and then back to him confusingly.He then motioned me to wipe my eyes, where tears were still stricken.I awkwardly took the handkerchief and wiped my eyes.He took it back and smiled.“I think this is your first time you’re going home after that new relationship”.“That relationship”? I asked as my mind was still on Karan.“I mean your relationship with Karan”. He explained.I nodded shyly.He chuckled and said, “you didn’t change. Still same, a cry baby when have to leave someone alone”.When he said this, then I remembered when he left for abroad after high school for higher education. I cried very hard as he was my only best friend.We spent so much time together that others
Point of View: AmayraWhile I was eating, I told my mother about my encounter with Rishi. As expected, she became dramatic.“Why didn’t you bring him here? Does he look as same as he did before going abroad? Does he have any foreign girlfriend... and all”? She asked a series of questions.I rolled my eyes and said, “Mumma relax, he is fine and no, he doesn’t look like before. He becomes more masculine, and I don’t know if he has a girlfriend or not”.As we were talking, the front door opened and father came in from his work. When he saw me on the dining table, mouth full of momma’s delicacies, he smiled and opened his arms for me to hug.I ran toward him to give him a big hug. He patted my back while laughing.“My little angel, how are you”? he asked and Mumma rolled her eyes.“Your little angel is in university now and after a few years she will be married. Now stop calling her that or she will never be grown up mentally”.My mother always said this to my father and my father always
Point of View: AmayraRishi sat next to me. we were talking when Mayra came back alone.“Where is Purvi”? I asked.“She went to freshen up and I came back as I am very tired”. Mayra explained and then sat down.After sitting down, she noticed Rishi. I swear I saw a glimpse in her eyes. Maybe she liked him.I introduced both of them, and they both instantly clicked.The way they were talking, It seemed like they were like a couple.I was happy for them.We were doing small talk when Purvi finally came back.“Took you long enough”. Mayra said while eyeing her. Maybe she was suspecting that she was talking to her that mysterious boyfriend.“The queue was long”. She said and sat down.I also introduced Rishi to her. They greet each other. But he was mainly busy talking to Mayra.“weren’t you with your friends”? I asked Rishi as he was continuously talking to Mayra and I even I saw them flirting with each other.“I have told them to go ahead and I’ll meet them again tomorrow.By the way Ma
Point Of View: Amayra I have already eaten at the club so; I went straight to my room to take shower.When I came out of the bathroom, my phone on the nightstand was ringing.I saw the caller, it was Karan.I was about to pick up the call when the ringing went off.Then I saw 23 missed calls in 15 minutes. I couldn’t hear any ring in my bathroom so that’s why I missed it.But why did he keep calling me? was it that urgent? I was about to call him.When my phone started to ring again.I immediately pick up the call. I was about to say hello. When I heard the angry voice from the other side.“Where are you”?Karan’s angry voice startled me. I was confused that why is he so angry.I took a deep breath and asked.“Karan, what happens? Why are you so angry”?“Amayra, I asked where have you been”? he asked again and this time the anger had increased.I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples to soothe my coming headache.“Karan, I was with Mayra and Purvi in the club. Just came back ad took b
Point of View: AmayraI was dumbfounded after hearing her.I couldn’t believe what was she saying. So, I asked her again.“What did you say”?She looked at me with her red puffy eyes and repeated again“I am Pregnant”.“How!! I. I. I mean who is the father of the child? Is that mysterious boyfriend of yours”? I asked looking at her for any answer or something/ anything.She nodded her head.“Who is your boyfriend? Where does he live and did you tell him about it?” I asked a series of questions as many things were running through my mind.“I told him about my pregnancy”.“What was his reaction”? I asked expectantly.Poorvi started to sob and said while sobbing“He told me to abort the child and never contact him again. He said he will also give me some money for an abortion”.My blood boiled after hearing this. how can some be so cruel?“Who is he? Where does he live? He has to take responsibility.” I said to her angrily.She shook her head and said.“I can’t tell you. He had threatene
Point of View: AmayraI woke with a spitting headache and sore neck.I looked around and saw that I am still in the hospital. The weather outside was good but it was dusk by now.I checked the time. We were here for about three hours.I stood up and ran towards the doctor’s office.I knocked and opened the door after getting permission.“Hello doctor, I am Amayra. I came here with my friend Purvi. Is the operation done? Where is she”? I asked feeling nauseous.My heart was beating hard in my chest as something wrong happened.“She is good, the operation took only half an hour. She is resting now. She may go home by now”. The doctor informed me.After getting her room number, I thanked the doctor and went toward the room where Purvi was resting.As soon as I opened the door, I saw Purvi standing beside the bed, in her home clothes instead of the hospital gown.“Purvi” I called out for her. She turned around and I walked toward her and take her hand in mine. Her face seemed paler.“Purv
Point of View: AmayraI had seen exactly the same earring in Monica’s ear that I had seen at Karan’s place.That cannot be possible. I was looking at her earring dumbfounded.“Why are you looking at me like this”? she asked harshly, taking me out of my trance.After regaining my sense, I asked her“Where did you get that earring”?She scoffed and spoke“What… Never seen that expensive earring”.All were busy with their business, so they didn’t pay attention to us.“Tell me”. I asked sternly this time.She rolled her eyes and said“Well, Dad got me this on my last birthday”.“And where is the other one”? I askedShe shrugged her shoulders before speaking“I had dropped somewhere when I was busy doing… you know”.She trailed off and then winked at me.My heart dropped. ‘No this can’t be. Karan will never hurt me like this.’ I thought.“You are lying”. I voiced out.She gave a light mocking smile and turned to look at me again“Do you remember what I said to you at the club before leavin
Point of View: AmayraThe next day, after classes I was going back to my room. when I received a text message from an unknown number.It said :‘if you want to know who really Karan is, then come to the ‘Eternity’ club, private room no – 005 at 7 in the evening’.I was confused. Who could send me this message?I was afraid that it can be a trap like last time.At that time, Karan saved me luckily. But what if, no one saves me this time.?I called Karan immediately, but he didn’t pick up my call.I was standing at the side of the road, hesitating whether to go or not when suddenly someone put a hand on my shoulder.I was startled.When I turned around, it was Purvi. She looked at me confused with my sudden startle.So she asked “What happens? Why are you looking so anxious?”Then she looked at my mobile which I was looking at a while ago in a daze.She took it from my hand and I gave it without any protest.When she read the text, her eyes widened.“What is the meaning of this message?
