[ Hey readers 😊 Meeting after a long time, huh? I'm sorry for being so irregular, but my life has been in a mess throughout the last two months. I'd rather not talk about it, and proceed to the story. I'm scared you may find this chapter small, but I'm mentally not in a state to write too much, though I've got plenty of time. Keep me in your prayers, and enjoy the awesome background music. It's one of my favorites, Arjun kanungoe's awesome 💜 ]

Unedited:

Akash went back to the class and saved himself with some lame excuse, and I stayed in the washroom until the final bell rang. Ishika brought back my school bag in the washroom before leaving and confirmed that Ayaz was being sane, and I sneaked out of the school as quietly as possible.

But before leaving, I had to take a huge dilemma with me.I met our biology teacher outside the main gate, and she was as surprised as anything to see me, while I was terrified.

"Ahallya, were you present today?" She asked, surprise in her voice.

"Umm, yeah Madam." I replied, my voice shaky.

She stared at me with suspicious eyes for five minutes, and then said sternly, " Okay then, I'll ask your class teacher to check the register to see of you were present or not, what say?"

She smiled, and searched for an answer in my wide open eyes.

Shitt!!

"Sure madam." I replied fast, and walked steadily towards the car. If this report goes to my home, or mom specifically, I'm gonna be dead! Oh god 😥

It took half an hour for me to reach home due to traffic. As I reached the lift, I changed my facial expression to somewhat normal from the terrified look I'd been carrying, since that  warning from stupid biology miss.

I rang the doorbell, and mom opened the door. Before I could react, she hugged me tightly, leaving me astonished.I could sense excitement all over her body, and no offense, I'm kinda sure she had been dancing before I rang the bell.

"Did papa get a promotion, or better, did you hit a lottery?" My face reflected her happiness.

"No," mom grinned, "My biggest lottery is sitting in your bedroom!!"

And believe me or not, she literally danced off to the kitchen, from where I could smell the aroma of delicious Biriyani.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked mom as I entered the kitchen,and dipped my finger in the lamb curry. Damn, it's tastier than all those restaurant lamb curry made by professionals :)

"It's tasty, right Ahallya?" Mom asked with a smile.

I smiled for an answer.

"Check your room. She's there." Mom said,and started placing the dishes in dining table.

I take brisk steps towards my bedroom, and who I saw next gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Alisha. Sitting in my bedroom, with no expression at all.And as she saw me coming in, her entire damn-care expression altered into a deep emotional one, and I wasn't sure what to do.

Thousands of questions entered my mind at once.I've seen her after whole 3 years. What should I say? Go to hell? Or should I run away?

Instead, I manage a fake smile and blurt out, "Hey."
