Amaira's POV

Flashback

Tapping my foot impatiencly, I waited in the railway station for the train to arrive, for Piya to arrive. She has gone to a Dehradun for a medical camp. Ishita Aunty and Alok Uncle had gone to Delhi because Pooja Di's to-be-husband's grandmother is sick. Mom, dad had gone to Bangalore for my maternal uncle's daughter's wedding and Sid has gone to London for a business deal. Rishi bhai is in Kolkata for a medical camp as well. So, I am here to pick her up.

The announcement of train broke my chain of thoughts and I could hear the sound of wheels nearing. Slowly the train neared.

Almost all the passengers got down because this was the last stop. Around 5 minutes later the crowd got cleared but still I couldn't see her.

When around 5 more minutes gone, I decided to go inside and check.

Climbing up the train, I first went to the right buggy but she was not there. Sweat started forming in my forehead. Going to the right buggy, I noticed Piya sitting there, eyes open, hair in a messy bun. It seemed like her body was her but her brain wasn't.

I sighed half-realeaved!

Going near her I shook her lightly, calling her name.

No response!

Nah! This is not my bestie! My always-cheerful bestie!

Shaking her hard, I called her name. She flinched. Tears started falling from her eyes which panicked me to the core.

Something definitely happened!

"Piya... Sweety... What happen!?" I asked tears beaming in my eyes seeing her vulnerability.

"I-I wan-want to go ho-hom-home" She shuttered.

"Okay okay! We'll go home. Okay!?" I said to her like a child.

She nodded

*

The ride was silent with both of us shedding tears. She because of the reason which is still unknown to me and me seeing my bestfriend crying.

Reaching home, for the first time I said the watchman to take our luggage home. I took her to my room and gave her some of her clothes which she always forgets here. Sending her to the bathroom, I rushed down, got showered and prepared 5-minutes noodles, which is also called Maggi and cheese sandwiches which is our favourite.

After waiting in the terrace for more than half-hour, I came down because Piya didn't come.

When I entered the bathroom whose door was, thank god, open, the sight in front of me crumbled my heart to peices.

My always-cheerful, fun-loving bestie, sitting under the open shower, hugging her knees to her chest, keeping her chin on it and crying. Rushing to her, I immediately closed the shower and helped her stand.

Drying her with the towel, I finally asked, "What happened Piya!?"

More tears came running!

But what she told me made the earth under me slip.

This can't happen!

(P.S- I know you guys were expecting the truth but I am planning to write another story on them specifically. And if I'll write the main part over here, they there will be no fun. Sorry)

Flashback ends...

I swear god of he will be the one, then I am not leaving him!

Yeh mere haatho hi marega!
(He will die because of me!)

Standing up, I went near him who was looking outside keenly, maybe expecting her to come back.

"Good morning! Mr. Dave! Hope you are not what I am expecting you to!" I whispered the last part to him.

Hearing my voice, he turned back. The shine in his eyes which were not there, were now back. There was a small smile on display.

I don't know why I do not get bad vibes from him!

"Umm... Hello to you too Ms. Sharma. I need to go to somewhere. I'll just come." He said and turned away to go.

"You won't go anywhere near Piya before talking to me." I said lowly. Dangerously low!

He gulped visibly but then his face relaxed which made me frown.

Why did he relax!?

Was he suppose to ran out from her fearing you!?

Umm.. No but-

But!?

Leave it! Whatever I say you'll make the opposite from it and answer me back.

"What happened to Piya!?" Ishita Aunty frowned asking.

"Umm... Actually you should blame Mom, Aunty. She was scolding Piya today morning. Maybe that's why she is upset." I said dramatically.

"They were late" Mom quickly defended herself.

"So what!? Why did you scold my daughter!?"  Dad asked equally dramatically.

"Enough! Now noone will say anything to my bestfriend" Ishita Aunty said in defence of her best friend.

"Okay so if all your drama is over we can go forward with the meeting!" Alok Uncle said gaining our attention.

"Yeah sure" I said and went to sit in the seat between Rishi bhai and Pooja Di.

*

The meeting was great. It got decided that the youngsters of the bride's group are shifting to our house and the oldies, don't tell our parents, will shift to the Raichands for better preparations.

Sid had been very less interactive because of his Delhi Project. He, somehow took out some time and attended the meeting only for Pooja Di and that's again a reason, I love him.

Piya somehow, returned after 15 minutes or so but went away in the middle because of a emergency case which I knew was not true.

Shreyash Dave was continuesly starring at Piya and when she went he had a different kind of expression. Like the "I will get apolozised" one.

Currently I am waiting for Shreyash in my cabin. He said that he got a urgent meeting and will return within an hour.

The intercom of my cabin ranged.

"Mam Mr. Shreyash Dave wants to meet you. Shall I send him in!?" The receptionist asked as soon as I picked up the call.

"Yes send him and please don't disturb me for an hour or so. And send Naina in my cabin too." I told her.

After a few minutes Naina came to my cabin, after a hard knock.

Oops! Seems like something has pissed her!

"There's a party tomorrow hosted by the Malhotra's. The theme is Indian-Western! What do you need now!?" She asked extremely irritated.

I swear if she wouldn't have been my PA, she would have buried me 12 feets under the ground!

"Why don't you call Steven and-"

"Raichands also got the invitation" She cut me.

"Oh!"

I stood up and went to her and hugged her hard.

"Naina why don't you take a half day leave!?" I cooced her.

"Why!?" She said in a straight way.

"Umm... To complete your honeymoon with Brownies! Or maybe to spend time with your bed!" I suggested still hugging her, afraid she might throw me out if I leave her.

"Fine but tell me what do you want to wear before I go!" She said and I left her.

I nodded giving her a too sweet smile.

She was going when I interrupted her, "Umm... Shreya why don't you decide my outfit! It will be okay for me."

"Okay" And she went away.

Meanwhile I called our personal designer for the dresses.

A knock interupted me.

"Come in"

There stood Shreyash Dave in his glory. How could he even look at me after what he did.

I gestured him to sit.

"How can you even look in my eyes after what you did to Piya!?"I asked gritting my teeth.

"I did not do anything intentionally! Let me explain first!" He said quickly, vulnerability was dripping from his voice, I must add.

I have read Wattpad stories where the main suspence is said in this type of talks.

"Go ahead!"

But what he told me made my heart skip a beat.

*

"But why again!?" Piya whined and I nooded.

"I am telling you Di! Those Dave's will make you do all the cooking when any guests come!" I whinned as well

Currently we were chilling with some popcorn and F.R.I.E.D.S when Mom and aunty barged in saying that we have to go to the Dave's for dinner and some kind of puja.

I mean we can do our dinner. Now I have to wear a good dress, get ready, do some makeup and then maybe drive too.

"Go and get ready" Mom order in a tone which means no more words.

I pouted in response and went to my room. According to mom I need to wear something simple, traditional and good clothes.

How can traditional clothes be simple.

*

Wearing a simple off-white long skirt with bluish-green blouse and yellow okre shrug, I opened my hair and put a neutral make up with a black bindi and matching jhumkis.

(Amaira's dress)

According to Mom this is okay, but I think I am over dressed.

But who can say no to Mom.

"Ama look at you. You look so hot!" Piya commented as soon as I entered her room.

She was wearing a baby pink and white lehnga which was cotton. She was looking beautiful.

Thank god she didn't get affected because of Shreyash's visit. Soon she is going to be his and I am fully supporting him.

"Pooja Di!?"I asked her.

She pointed toward the closet. There she was wearing a beautiful white saree with orange and blue strips.

She looked elegant.

(Guys please ignore their jewelry)

"Let's go!" I declared.
