Sobs and Silences..
Those are the only sounds echoing in her room.

Day and Night, all she did was either cry or sit there, numb.

The entire house that used to buzz with chatter when the gang was present, was silent like a morgue now.

" It's been an entire day, she hasn't eaten anything properly. "
Piku said

" Yeah. The last she ate was like hours ago. Mere morsels of food that Aunty forced her to eat. "
Avi said

Zayn went and sat beside her, but she didn't look at him. Instead, she just sat there staring at the sky through her window.

" Sweetheart "
He called

She glanced at him.
Her eyes are so hollow yet so submerged in agony.

Everyone's heart twisted in pain. The four of them were getting flashbacks of their high school cheery Mimi.

She didn't answer him.

" Please eat something, sweetheart. Just a few bites maybe. "
He tried to convince her.

But everyone knows there's no convincing her.

There was a screech of tyres in the driveway.

" It's Ansh "
Avi said while looking at the driveway.

" Don't "

They all whipped their heads toward Mimi.

" Don't let him in. "
She said, and teared up again.

" Mimi - "
Ritz started but Ahana cut her off again

" Don't let him see me like this. Please. "
She pleaded

" Mimi, maybe if you speak to him - "
Viki said

Ahana cut him off too
" No Viki. We have already spoken about it. Not anymore. "

They were about to object but she said first
" You know what would happen if he sees me like this. Don't you? "

They all understood.

They might not know why Ansh declined her proposal, but they do know that he'll curse himself to hell if he saw Mimi like this.
They know him very well.
At least in this matter.

There were continuous echoes of the house bell being rung, but nobody made a move.
Then there were continuous bangs on the door and they heard Ansh yell
" ANA "
