"But, It Was Always You"

Chapter 5

Zara's POV

"I can't believe this!" I said with excitement on the call with my friends.

"Yes...finally we are gonna meet after so so long time..I'm so excited!" Aditi says as she was looking very happy.

"Ughhh....that fucking same routine every single morning again." Anushka says in an annoyed voice.

"You always do this yaar Anushka... at least be happy that we are gonna meet." Riya says while scolding Anushka.

"Haan yaar, and this is our last year together im this school, from next year we will go to different schools for studies and then college." I said in a low voice.

"Arey yaar, don't be sad Zara. We'll be in touch na". Aditi said while cheering me up.

"Huhh...who knows. Kuch bhi ho sakta hai!" (Anything can happen!)
Anushka's words made me sad even more.

"Arey yaar...isko koi bahar nikalo call se, Anushka dafa ho jaa yaha se...aur dobara shakal mat dikhaiyo apni...shoo." Riya said angrily.
(Ohh god..can someone remove her from the call...Anushka just get out from here and don't you dare to come here again...shooo!")

Riya's words made me and Aditi laugh.

"Okay fine... ab bolungi hi nhi kuch." Anushka replied.
(I'll not speak anything from now.)

"yes..good girl." I said.

"Haan..tera shant rehna hi better hai." Aditi said like she is teasing her.
(Yess.. it's better for you to be quite)

I don't know why but I started feeling so low so I decided to cut the call.

"I'll call you later guys..I have to prepare stuff for school."

I cut the call and laid on my bed.
I suddenly started overthinking.

"What if we'll not be able to meet each other after school. What if we all become very busy in our own lives. What if we'll not have time for each other in future. What if... what if we forget each other. I'll definetely not have friends like them ever in my whole life."

I was getting so emotional after thinking all of this and tears started dropping down from my eyes.
I slept after crying.

I got up after the nap and then looked at my pillow which became completely wet from my tears.

"DAMN! Did I cry that much?"
"Why I always start crying even at little things?"
"All this happens due to my overthinking."
"Why do I think this much? OH GOD!"
I wondered.

I suddenly got a thought about Ahaan.
Ahaan! OH MY GOD! I've not talked to this guy today.
I was so busy in stupid stuffs that I didn't talked to him.

I picked up my phone and saw that he already sent me a few texts which I didn't responded.
I blushed at his texts.

WAIT! Why I am blushing?

I replied to his messages.
After a few minutes he responded and sent me a text.

"Can I call you?"
I blushed again and then replied him.
"Yess..ofc"

"so....excited?" Ahaan asked me and he was looking excited from his voice.

"yeah..kind of." I said.

"what do you mean? you're not happy?"
He asked confusingly.

"no no...I'm very happy we all will meet after a so long time...I'm excited." I said.

"yeah..me too."

"do you ever think that all of us will get separated after this year?" I asked him in a low voice.

"yess...sometimes. why?"

"I always get sad after thinking about this you know."

"why do you think about this Zara? If it makes you sad. You should not." He said in a serious voice.

"Because this is reality. All of us, our whole class will get separated. Do you even think about it?" I replied to his words.

"I know yaar... but we have to get separated for ourselves na for our future. We cannot do anything about this. This has to be done for us." He was making me understood like a kid.

"you know what?"

"what?" He asked.

"you are right actually."

"I'm always right. You've noticed it for the first time." He replied me sassily.

"Maybe I overthink a lot na that is my problem. I think about everything in a detail and I make myself hurt doing this.I have to stop this stupid overthinking."

"yess.. finally you got it." He said.

"mhmm"

"Okay..so joke time listen to me now."

"okay sir..tell me your joke."

"knock-knock"

"who's there?"

"cash"

"cash who?"

"no thanks, but I would like to have some peanuts."

After saying this he burst out laughing like that was the funniest joke in the world.

"Oh god, Ahaan!"

"Zara, come here beta..the dinner is ready. Have your dinner and sleep..You have school tomorrow." I heard a voice of mumma calling me for dinner.

"Okay..I'll talk to you later.Mumma is calling me for dinner."

"Okay..see you tomorrow at school Zara."
I blushed at his words. IDK Why?

"See you tomorrow Ahaan. Byee."

"Byee"

Ahaan's POV

I can't believe that I'm finally gonna see her after a long time.

Finally I'll hear her voice in real, see her beautiful face and those beautiful dimples on her cute cheeks.

And also my stupid school friends whom I haven't met in a long time.

I'm just so excited!

"Ahaan beta , all ready for tomorrow?"
My mom asked me while entering my room.

"yes mumma..everything is done." I replied.

"Good boy, now go to your bed and sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow and it's already 11PM."

The only thing I hate about school is waking up early.

"Okay mumma.. after sometime I'll sleep."
I said.

"No..sleep right now. It's already too late now. Go to your bed."

"Okay fine..I can't argue with you."

I went to my bed and my mom kissed my forehead and then I slept.
