16. Aira
"Where the hell were you Asher?" I fumed in wrath.
"I was busy." He responded with the same intensity.
" Busy." I mocked. "Really?"
" Yes really." He gritted his teeth, holding my hand by my elbow. " I'm not on a certified marriage leave, unlike you." He yelled, his tone acerbic, full of taunt.
" I am on a no reason off, I gotta do my job from laptop." He threw my hand, walking up to the window, frustrated.
Tears slipped down my cheeks. I saw his eyes moist as well.

17. Flashback"I'm done with it." I raised my hands, giving up completely." I'm not studying with you the next time." Asher shot back, this time serious than the previous one. " I never invited you." I moved back against the bed, crossing my arms." Ofcourse, right." He nodded, digging his face into his notes." Don't dare start again." He cut me off before I could even open my mouth.I giggled sappily. It was almost four hours that we were

18. ViratI pulled her by her hand making sure nobody noticed us." Ouch, Virat." Esha groaned in pain. " What's wrong with you?" She shrieked, rubbing her arm. " It hurts."" Don't know about myself? But there's surely something wrong with you?" I gritted my teeth. Seeing her made me angry." What did I do now Virat?" Her tone was exasperated and furious." Look at the clothes you are wearing?" " Just shut up." She pointed a finger at me, her nostrils flaring. " You

19. Flashback" Come out, let's go." Asher stood beside the driver's seat, waiting for me to step out." I'm driving." I told him and he chuckled." Aira, it's past one. I'm sure you don't wanna cancel the plan." He replied curtly, opening the door. " Asher, I haven't drove since a month. Please." I walked out." You know what happened last time you drove?" He shot a look at me." As if you never crashed anytime." I rolled my eyes." But I don't crash every time." He fought back.It was a routine. We'd argue over who'd drive. Asher didn't trust me with the keys at all." It's my car." I heaved, crossing my arms against my chest." You are my girl." He pecked my lips, snatching the keys fro

20. Virat"Sshh, no." I whispered as sweetly as I could but even my most melodious voice seemed to had no effect on her. Hinaaya whimpered nevertheless.I hated children and there was a reason to it, their constant nagging. It was so hard to understand anybody by the sound of their cries and I wasn't God at all.I had no clue what Hinaaya needed and I gradually felt more and more annoyed.I made funny faces, I bounced and circled her but she was adamant just like her mother. I wondered

21. Flashback"You have no clue Aunty.." I shook my head, slipping into a more lazy position. "He troubles me so much during Ramadan." I complained, staring at Asher through the rear view mirror.He chuckled at my accusation as if I was a child crying about her silly friend." I know beta.." She jabbered, turning back to me, her face showing how much she had to speak on the topic."Which is why I'm so grateful to have you. I'm okay in Ramadan because I know, you are with my dork." She smiled at me sweetly." Ab aisa bhi nahi hai Ammi, mere bilkul nakhre nahi hain?" Asher piped in, stealing a glance at me.It made my heart flutter. His gaze always did. The way he looked at me in the crowd, secretively yet so intensely as if he could see my soul made me feel butterflies." Yeah, ofco

22. Aira"Thank god, we escaped." I laughed burying my face in my palms.Virat smiled at me warmly, his eyes twinkling with his transparency. "You should laugh often, that crying face doesn't suit you."I simpered, staring at him. It hurt diving deep into his eyes, through his hopes, his pride, his joys knowing I could break them all in a second. I had began feeling a real-strange attachment with him. A delicate connection built on lies and half truths yet a connection which my heart had started finding sacred. It was far from love and friendship yet I felt owned by him in a certain way. A way that seemed pure and a way

23. AiraThe air was colder than what I had ever felt with a silence that screamed of our heart-break, our melancholy.I stared at the thin fabric of the grey sweater I was wearing. I had to wear it because Asher wasn't there to make me feel warm all day.I realised I had to start wearing woollens myself because Asher was no longer gonna be there to take care of my antiques.Life was changing rapidly. With every breath of mine, I was losing more of Asher, I was breaking more than before and I was morphing more into nothingness.My hands were filled with bangles, red and white. They symbolised the new beginning I was going to have with Virat from tomorrow but I wondered how it would be without me?I was no more Aira, I was no more myself. I was lost and I had no chase of it.I had no clue if I cou

24. ViratOur breaths were heavy. The day had been more eventful than what I had expected it to be. I stared at her smile. It was different yet it was so similar. It was like the way she smiled when she was genuinely happy. Like the way she used to smile when we were together.I hadn't seen her smile from her heart lately but today she did and it certainly felt good. I had heard her saying she missed me, she had even confessed that she no more felt like before. She could no more be carefree and joyful. She said now her heart always felt incomplete
