34. Bad News.

Ok so, let me get this straight, the story I am writing has shaped well, I believe but the response? I don't even get the half of what I want.

I love all of you equally, you vote thank you, you comment, a big thank you, you are silent reader, accepted but my dear I want the response.

It's simple and straight, the better response I get, the faster update you get :)

Ayesha.

The next morning I woke up to my alarm and unknowingly searched for Rehaan beside me since the feeling of his arms was not there around my waist. Where is he?

I remembered that he left for his business deal and how my stupid anxiety wrecked my thought process that even till two in the morning I couldn't sleep yet his message never came

I jolted up and reached for my mobile phone, the first thing I did was to check my messages but nothing came. I felt involuntary fear trapping my body that I froze on my place.

I didn't find myself checking the hundreds of messages that Sharanya and Nisha sent me instead my hands trembled and I pressed to call him but his number was fucking unreachable. Why does it feel the same? My parents'... Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Tossing my mobile phone aside I strode to get another cold shower so that my thoughts are back in place but after brushing my teeth and morning activities when I started to peel my clothes off, I heard a bang on my door and I wore my kurti again

"What happened?" I asked to whosoever was on my door, it was my friends. What?

"Ayesha, did you check the news?" Sharanya held my hands in hers while her eyes showed concern making my heart race in my chest

"No?..." I felt nervous and Nisha gulped blinking rapidly
"Let's get in, yeah?" Nisha led us inside and made me sit on the bed

"Ayesha, whatever you are going to hear from us is not the complete information. No one has that, yeah?", Nisha knelt before me and took my hands in her in a firm hold

"Guys, is everything alright? Veena masi? Nitin uncle? Any bhai?" I asked looking at both of them and they nodded negatively while a huge lump formed in my throat and fear got injected in my nerves

"No, no, no! No, it's not Rehaan... Tell me it's not Rehaan." I literally begged and Nisha took me in a hug while she rubbed my back

"Ayesha, it is..." Nisha whispered tightening her hold on me
"It's not. He's alright. He's fine." I sniffled and broke the hug

"The flight he boarded cra-crash landed." Sharanya came beside Nisha and my vision blurred. Another accident? Another accident that took my family away? No. Nope.

"But- but there's no information about Rehaan." Sharanya hastily added and I looked at both of them

"Where's maa?" I asked while my own tears rolled freely from my eyes
"Ayesha, she's not aware about it." Nisha whispered and I felt my breath getting constructed in my throat.

My instincts once again were proved right. I shouldn't have let him go. I felt angry at myself for letting my stupid anger towards him blind my instincts indicating bad.

I allowed my body to go limp and my head fell on Sharanya's shoulder
"Everyone was right back then." I whispered between my tears looking right at the wall in front of us - which had our pictures on- blankly.

"I am a bad omen." My eyes remained fixated on his beautifully sculpted face, he was doing just fine before me. I brought ruin to his life.

"I am a curse to my family, everyone dies painfully unexpected." I sobbed harder while Nisha and Sharanya hugged me even tighter
