HER

CHAPTER 10

THIRD PERSON POV

After stepping outside the car all Rishika could think of was the words said by Ashton.
EMPTY CAN
That's what he called her and for the very first time she totally agrees with someone.
This is what she has became. Empty.

She has totally forgotten the way she use to be before everything happened. Even though she never had many friends but she knew how to live life. She never had many friends maybe this was one of those disadvantages you get when you are a little more smarter than a normal child. Her classmates use to bully her alot because of that only .

She hated how everyone made her feel outcast every chance they got.
Or even if by chance anyone became her friend they just used her and throw her like a tissue without caring about her.

Her brother was the one who taught her how fun life can be if she learns to enjoy her own company. Which changed her perspective of life she started to enjoy her company.
Everyday she used to explore new places be it new cafes,restaurants, game errands, amusement parks,libraries and many more places .

Before meeting the gang her life had turned very depressed but now being with them even though for a small amount of time she feels a little alive .

But now that she thinks Ashton was never happy or even smiled whenever she was around maybe because he always considered as a ruckus who just bragged into his friend groups claiming them to be hers as well this is what makes her feel guilty.

She has always been a person who always fight back no matter what but this time she knew it was her who was imposter.

Walking into smokers room she took out a cigarette and lighter . As she was about to light the cigarette ashtons word came repeated in her head.

Putting her hand which had cigarette down she leans her head against the wall. Thinking how miserable she must have looked for him to say those words.

She shakes her head chuckling and walk towards the dustbin.  She throw the cigarette she had in her hand in dustbin and walks out of the room. She takes deep breath to calm her self. Just an year ago if someone had said to her that she would become like this she would have laughed on their face but know she is laughing at her own self.

She roams her eyes around. Old beautiful memories coming crashing down on her .

"Amusment park seriously bhai . What are we. 5 year old " Rishika said wearing a cap over her head in attempt to hide her face.

"Shut up it not written anywhere that only 5 year Olds are allowed here" he replied putting a bunny ear headband over her head removing the cap.

"Yet this place is fully of those annoying creatures only" she said looking disgustingly at a kid who just put his finger in nose.

"What sort of girl you are who hates kids. Weirdo" he said smaking her head

"This sort of. If you have problem let's go home"  she said pointing finger towards entrance direction
He just rolls his eyes at her before dragging her inside.
That day went on with lots of bickering,smackng each other, arguments , yells and at the end laughter was the highlight.

At night when both the sibling were eating their favorite dumplings inside car.
Her bhai looks at her adoringly.  His baby sister surely does needs a push to get out of her shell.

Rishika looks up at her brother she thinks to herself he surely needs a smack for getting her out of her need but still she did enjoyed today so she decides to let him off the hook.
