Ashima's POV

I was sleeping peacefully on my soft bed when suddenly I felt someone pulling the duvet off my face literally shouting my name ''Ashi wake up you'll get late for work".

I immediately got up once I heard I'll be late for work, I looked at my phone to check the time only to see that it was just 7:30 "Why the hell did you woke me up so early, my work starts at ten" I said glaring at Pia.

"So that you can cook dinner for both of us" she replied giving me an innocent look.

"No way today it's your turn to cook" I said pointing a finger at her.

Oh how badly I wanted to go back to sleep.

"Please I'm in no mood to cook today please Ashi" she pleaded with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine" I replied, she knows very well that I can't say no to her and she also knows how to convince me.

After making dinner we ate together with a little chit chat and I got ready for my work.

I wore my uniform and pulled my hair up into a neat updo, I did a little makeup though I'm not the girl who likes to do makeup every day but since it's necessary for my work as I'm an air hostess so I have to do it anyway.

I saw the time its 9:30 pm yes pm I have been working in a night shift from almost a month now and it's quite irritating some times because it's not easy to at night but anyways I'm not complaining about my job in fact I love my it.

After an exhausting day or should I rather say night I returned home as I entered the apartment I looked around only to realize that it's empty. Pia must have left for her work by now.

I live with my childhood friend Pia in her apartment she's really a kind hearted girl she's been my support in my life's ups and downs always when I left my home or I should say my dad's home for some reasons. Pia was the only one who was there for me.

While looking around at the dim empty apartment still standing by the door only one thing appears in my head.

That how lonely I'm.

Sometimes I feel really lonely and right now the only person I'm missing the most is my mom...she died in a car accident few years back...how badly I wish she was here with me so things would have been different now.

In my family I was close only to my mom, she understood me really well. I didn't share a good relation with my dad and both of my elder brothers...Vihaan & Varun maybe because our thinking never matched with each other.

I don't know if my dad loves me or not but I know one thing for sure that I do love him after all he's my dad, how can I ever hate him or even not love him.

Sometimes I think if I made a right decision by leaving my dad's house...by leaving everything behind but then I remember the reason I left and convince myself that leaving my dad's house was a right decision after all.

I suddenly realized that I have been crying thinking all this when I felt wetness on my cheeks, this is the only reason that I don't like to think about my family or even discuss about them whenever someone asks.

Because I know that in the end I'll end up in tears and I don't like to cry in front of anyone...I don't want to show my tears and the deep pain in my eyes to anyone and make myself appear as a weak person.

I wiped my tears away and shook my head to clear off these thoughts while walking towards my room and getting changed into some comfortable clothes before making myself comfortable on my bed but sleep was far away from me.

I kept turning and tossing on the bed not able to sleep thinking will I always be like this, can I never be happy like other people? of course I can't be happy as I don't have a family...I don't have anyone to worry for me when I come home late...I don't have anyone who'll smile at me and say that 'everything will be alright' in the difficult times.

I'm alone and it's always going to be like this...nothing is going to change.

After being awake with these thoughts still roaming around in my head for about an hour or so I finally managed to drift off to sleep.
