Athulya's POV

I woke up from the sunlight coming on my face , removing the hair strands , putting the blanket aside. Rubbing my eyes as the sunlight was coming directly in them. I realised I was on my bed, in my night suit. My head was aching , I tried to remember what happened last night. But the only thing I remembered was that I drank wine and was dancing crazily . Then how am I here? And my dress? Even the thought of it made me freak out. I stepped down to check my other stuff , everything was at its place. Everything, my phone, wallet, purse, heels and gladly my diary as well.

Putting a bit of pressure on my mind I remembered , I was dancing with him and then Daniel came but what after that? All other thing is fine but how did my dress got changed? What if..? No! The thoughts of it are enough to give me a panic attack.

It's all my mistake why did I got drunk? I always does wrong things , dugging my own grave. I am such a stupid girl who can't even think what is right and wrong for her.

"Stay away from him" She puched me aside as my back collided with the wall.

"B-But...I d-din't.." I stuttered while speaking and my feet were trying their best to move a little back.

"It's all because of you! I know how cheap you plastic surgery type girls are.. Bitch!!" I sat there, covering my face. They were all laughing on me.

Why am I like this? Nobody likes me, nobody wants me. I should not have kept my hair open. I always creates mess, I am nothing just a waste on this earth. Everyone around me would have lived happily had I not existed.

"What happened miss clumsy? Missing mommie? Tch Tch .. cry baby aww.." she touched my chin and I removed her hand running away from there to find a empty place which can have the same emptiness as my heart.

I walked towards the wash basin to wash the memories, I wish water could wash that too. I heard the sound of door and I came out to see, Shanta Aunty came inside my room giving me a bright smile and I forced a smile on my face.

"I hope you had a good sleep" She asked folding the blanket thrown on my bed and I nodded at her. I was still thinking whether to ask about last night from her or not?

"What are you thinking? Go brush your teeth , I am bringing your coffee. And if you are experiencing a headache then take this." She passed me a tablet and this was enough indicator that she knew about last night. I walked towards her , wrapping my arms around her neck and she removed them giving me a pat on my head. And as always I made a puppy face before running to find my brush as she gave me a death stare.

I was brushing my teeth in front of mirror so that they becomes totally white which they never looks like. I already had turned on my speaker for music , it makes me complete my work fast or else I will spend all the time in making my teeth white.

My phone beeped.

Shameless(BFF)

Missing you honey

And I spilled the toothpaste from my mouth, right at the mirror. Eww.. what kind of girl is she?

"Athulya what is this?" I looked around to see Shanta Aunty . Only god can save me now as she ran behind me holding her broom. We were running in the whole room like tom and jerry.

I jumped on my bed and she ran from here to there around it , not finding any space to escape from here. I tried tricking her by moving from one side of bed to another. Grabbing my towel , I counted till ten in my mind and ran directly inside the bathroom. Closing the door behind me , I took a deep breath to relax. I could still hear her cursing me , whatever came in her mouth but her sound faded when I turned the shower and it became silent after a while.

In the silence of shower the memories surrounded me , it felt like they are holding my throat. I couldn't breathe or maybe I doesn't wants to me. My ears were ringing , I could clearly hear them, she was laughing at me . For a moment I felt like he was standing just behind , I turned but there was no one. I checked the knob again and again to make sure none of them enter inside.

Don't be silly Athulya , how could they come inside. But, I am not lying this time , they are here. Jealous of me because they thought they will find that old Athulya but they don't know she died. Yes, I killed her , with these hands of mine. Even the mark is still visible.

They were mocking me , surrounding me. If I turned at one side they would move on to another. I knew he was watching me, I tried to come close to him and I found he had no face. How funny?

I was standing by balancing myself on wall, but my body slipped through it until it sat down on the floor . My body closed her ears to avoid them but the noise became louder and louder.

I heard someone crying but it was none other than my soul, I turned off the shower to listen her crying silently. It was lying on the floor , was my soul dead? I stood up to check on my soul but froze at my place when I saw a girl approaching her, she had dark black eyes and black hair and was looking like a princess. She laid down on floor beside my soul , who had started showing some movement now. She asked her what was she doing and my soul replied, stargazing. They both smiled and enjoyed their company but I could still hear the my soul crying silently.

I knew my soul was lying to her and that pretty girl got lost in her lies. Mustering up the courage I went to them and pulled my soul harshly to make it stood up. She complained that it hurts ,at that moment I looked directly into her emerald eyes , they looked tired. I asked her why is she lying but she laughed at me in pity. That black eyed girl heard me, she stood up to reach my soul. She mocked her and said a few words that kept ringing in my ears like a haunted sound.

"Why don't you die. It's better to get seperated from a friend by death than by betrayl. Even if you die , I will not come to offer you flowers. I wish we had never met. I hate you ! I wants to slap you hard but I can't because I don't wants to make my hands dirty. I even feel ashamed to say that I know you . You are nothing than a dirt that I don't want in my life. You know what ? Go die! I don't care! I wish you a happy life after death."

Her each word felt like swords piercing my body. I looked at my soul she was almost dead with the uncountable wounds that started bleeding but she didn't gave up. Someone called her .

"Athulya.."

"Sweetheart.."

"My kiddo"

"Aashu..."

"Princess?.."

I could heard noises, a car collided with another and my soul fell from it.

She didn't heard them, they kept calling her until their shouts turned into cries. I could heard noises, a car collided with another and my soul fell from it. There was blood all around and she was lying in its pool. A man came running and placed her head in his lap.

"Leave her, she left for another world" someone shouted at him but he didn't turned back, tears were rolling down his eyes as he was blabering something.

"Look kiddo , I came . I didn't forgot my promise"

"Don't be dramatic, I will leave you here only if you continued this anymore and then they will take you away. I will not come back even if you will keep shouting so be a good girl sweetheart and get up."

"Ma.. why is she not getting up? I am getting late" He was caressing her hair but she didn't moved. How will she ? She finally became a star.

"You are looking so beautiful my princess, may god protect you from evil eyes. Come, won't you hug your mother?" A middle aged women smiled at my dead soul , wraping her arms around but they were wrapped around her own self because I was not in her embrace and will never be. My soul is gone when she was going to get everything , and she got everyone she wants , atleast fate felt pity on her and gave her few people to cry at her death.

"Don't make it difficult for your dad , princess. See , I am getting late , don't be stubborn. Come, we will go out to play."

The emerald eyed man, hugged her tightly sobbing over , like a kid who lost his favourite toy.

"I promised you that I will never leave you but it was you who broke it. I hate you Aashu, I hate you! Why are we not forever? You are so selfish , you took my soul with yourself. How will I live without it? Reply me! You know I don't like ignorance so don't make me angry. Get up , we are going home. I promise he will never fight with you "

He had her in his arms , meanwhile few more people were crying beside him. I noticed a man standing there silently, he wasn't crying. The same man sat beside him , he also wrapped his arms around my dead soul.

"You are looking like a joker Aashu, get up before someone sees that my sister is such a joker" He was laughing from his mouth but crying from his eyes. I was soaked in the river of water that flowed through their eyes.

That black eyed girl was standing in the corner, silent. She stood there looking at my soul and I heard the voice of my soul.

"You were planting flowers but all of them were on my grave. I was living for you and I am dying for you. Don't cry , don't break the promise you did. You will never come to my funeral. I was foolish to think about forever but I forgot that nothing is forever. But maybe if I got another life I will try to do my best to stay away from you , I don't want to break your heart again."

"Aashu.." They all screamed , my soul was getting invisible until it disappeared fully and he was left with nothing in his hand.

I heard him say.

"She promised me a forever but I forgot that she was a liar and will remain that forever. We were never meant to be together.

Not this time, not in this world but maybe in another world , some other time. We will meet to never seperate."

"You will always be my one and only sweetheart, my baccha , my kiddo , my everything ,forever and I am sure this will be forever because you could forgot me but I will never."

Not each story is a fairytale having happy ending, some remains incomplete , forever. And that remains the only thing with forever.

I screamed out loudly but the sound was sent back by walls, that's when I realised that people were living their life with me but I was living all alone. Now, even my soul was not there to hear me.
