Best friends?

Chapter 16.

Aashi's POV:

I woke up with sore throat, pounding headache and non stop sneezing.

Well.

Maine to kal sarcastically bola tha lekin universe aapne to serious le lia? Agar wish grant karni hi thi toh acchi waali karte na? Like free food ya lottery ya firr my crush liking me back? Or bhi bohot cheeze hai... Lekin-

My thoughts got cut off by my phone. It's mom.

"Happy birthday baby.. We miss you so much and we are really very sorry"my parents started. I smiled at that.

"Thank you guys- *sneeze*it's okay-*sneeze**sneeze*" I started.

"Honey are you okay? What happened?" My mom asked.

"Haan mumma theek hu bas- *sneeze* thoda sa- *sneeze* cold *sneeze* *sneeze*" I tried talking but my mom cut me off.

"Why are you home? I thought you were staying at Nischay's place? Are you really okay?" She stated.

Yaar ye mummy logo ko sab kaise pta chal jaata hai yaar? Inke paas konsa superpower hai ?mujhe bhi chaiye!

"Nahi mumma kuch nhi hua *sneeze* bas aise hi *sneeze*" I said.

"Theek hai...nahi btana toh it's fine ab bacche bade ho gaye hai-"My dad started. And let me tell you one thing about him, He's dramatic and good at emotional blackmailing.

So I told them everything that happened yesterday minus 'walking alone in the rain' part kyuki mai apne parents ko or pareshaan nhi karna chati they are already worried.

" It's okay baby I'm sure usske paas koi better reason hoga nahi aane ka... You know Nischay Or vansh tumhe kabhi bhi ditch nhi karenge" My mum said and dad nodded. Well if only they knew.

"Hmm"I replied half heartedly.

"Take rest bacche..We'll be home by tomorrow morning I promise. And dont forget to take medicine on time.okay?" My dad said.

"Don't worry guys *sneeze* Its just cold.." I said.

After the phone call I decided to sleep some more coz I really don't have energy to move.

So I spent my entire birthday sleeping or simply lying on bed.
I only woke up when it was utterly necessary like when I couldn't hold pee anymore or when I was super hungry.

And yes still no call or text from Nischay.

****

Next morning I decided to skip college and stay in bed all day again coz I was still not well. All thanks to lovely nature.

My parents are home and they are worried for some reason... It's not ki mujhe pehle kabhi cold nhi hua.. It's just they KNOW ki I'm upset about yesterday.

In evening my mom literally dragged me out of my room so that we can have some family time. And we did.

We played games... Had dinner.... Watched different shows... Overall I had a great time.

I saw 2 missed calls from him but I decided to ignore that.

And now I'm again in my bed overthinking and making fake scenarios in my mind.

***

It's the next day and I asked my dad to drop me.

I'm not feeling best and I don't know if it's because of medicine or something else. But for some reason mujhe Nischay ko face nhi karna.

"We're here" My dad said.

"Thanks dad" I smiled at him while getting out of the car.

I directly went to my first class.
