Chapter 1 

The news

‘R u sure??’ I texted kanika back.

N waited for her reply with my fone tightly clutched in my hand. Still in denial to what kanika said.

No I cant believe that this could happen to me.

No god no, plz u cant do this to me. Not today. Plz.

Tears of anticipation started filling my eyes.

Suddenly I was aware that I was sitting in my living room with my family. 

If they saw my eyes they would understand that something was wrong. So I got up n headed to my room almost running, as tears in my eyes were dangerously threateing that they will spill out.

“where do u think u r going?” my father asked,

We haven’t counted your toffees yet!”

“I will b right back, I need to finish my college assignment.” I heard myself replying.

It was a tradition in my family to count toffees before birthdays. 

N who the hell gives a damn about traditions when their life was falling apart.

My fone vibrated n showed 1 new message. 

I rang to my room n closed the door behind me. 

N stared at my mobile for full five mins before I could gather the courage to open the message.

‘ yup, m damn sure, he told me himself..’

N finally the tears I was trying so hard to control skiped out of my eyes followed by its many siblings.

Kanika was my best friend along with nandini, vanshika and jay. 

We all have been together since 6th std except for jay, he came in 12th. N since a very long time now they have been my life. 

N they all had warned me always that I would get hurt in the end,  n I being stupiditily myself never listened to them. It all felt so right that time. n now i was miserable. 

I could hear in my head what everyone would say when they will confront me about this.

Oh god I so want to run away!!!

Thanks for they great gift god! I thought sarcastically.

I don’t know how long I sat there on my bed crying silently. 

“ Adhiraa, beta come down! What are you doing? its been an hour!”

I heard my mother calling.

“coming ma, 5 mins”

I stood up, wiped my tears n looked at the mirror,

N those stupid stubborn tears started flowing again.

Looking at myself I realized how stupid I am.

How could I except him to fall in love with me?

I was as plane looking as anyone could be. N he was one of the most good looking man I have ever seen. Of course he talked to me only as a friend, n ofcourse I was stupid enough to take it otherwise, n ofcourse he got committed to another girl the day before my birthday. N ofcourse my life was over!!

I washed up my face with water. N plastered a fake smile on my face n went downstairs n continued doing stuff as if nothing happened, smiling in all right places n acting as if m happy n excited about tomorrow although from inside I was breaking down every second.
