Flashback: 15 years ago

The classroom was filled with the usual early morning chaos, students roaming everywhere, some making a group and gossiping while some deciding its the right time to use the chalks on the blackboard before the teacher arrives.

The corridor is filled with its usual buzz, students moving from one classroom to another, meeting friends and having the time of their life.

Inside std 9th A, sits a girl, with 2 of her classmates, solving a tough math question the group had been trying to solve as soon as they entered the class room this morning.

The girl, Aadhira's, brows are furrowed in concentration, lips forming an adorable pout.

She solves the problem unaware of the pair of eyes set upon her.

Admiring, silently from the last bench of the class room.

Vinay Agarwal, an average student, almost always lost in the dreams somewhere, dreaming of the girl whom he can never have, Aadhira.

She had been his crush ever since he first heard of that word, maybe even before that.

His childhood loved.

He had been in love with her since 4th standard.

The silent admirer, one of those who chose to love in the quite.

From a distance.

Almost but never close.

One sided lover, that's what he called himself, for her, he was one.

He knew Aadhira was someone out of his limits.

Someone he can have only in his imaginations, only in his dreams.

And so he stayed far apart, from as long as possible, aiming to do the same for as long as he breathes.

Despite all the years he yearned for her, he made sure Aadhira never knew about being his feelings.

Always.

And here he was, once again lost in admiring her, from a distance as usual.

Raghav Mishra, his bestfriend was always the one most worried for him.

On spotting Vinay once again lost in staring at Aadhira, he picked up his practical notebook he had been earlier writng on, and SMACK!!

Raghav hit Vinay right at the back of his head.

"Bss kar ja pagal, din raat usi ke baare mein sochta hai wo kaafi nhi hai kya jo pure din school mein usse hi taadte rehta hai"

"Yrr bss abhi hi toh dekh paata hun, dekhne de na" said Vinay, his ears quickly turning a bright shade of pink.

"Haa haa jaanta hun kitna dekhta hai,aur kitne khayali pulav pakata hai tu, bss kar de, warna uske kisi dost ne dekh liya na toh tu pitt jayega" said Raghav, now genuinely concered about Vinay being caught.

This was the fifth time today that he had to remind Vinay to stop staring at Aadhira.

Unknown to them, Aadhira already had a rough idea of being Vinay's crush.

Those random eye contacts.

His stolen glances at her.

Always sitting at a place from where he could have a good look at her.

She knew, and yet she did nothing.

Let him approach you first, Riya her friend once said to her.

And so she did.

She waited.

Present Day

All of a sudden Aadhira woke up with a startled gasp, the past running somewhere in her mind,

Slept there, in the balcony.

"When did I drift off to sleep" she said out loud. It was still nighttime

Aadhira picked up her phone from the table in front of her.

2 am the time said.

"I should get some proper rest. It's going to be one hell of a day tomorrow "

Sighing she walked back to her hotel room and locked the balcony door.

Sitting on the bed now, she took a sip of water. The flashback she had kept replaying in her head.

Please. Not now.

Aadhira took her sleeping pills, to push away the thoughts that clouded her mind.

To help her get some sleep without nightmares waking her up at the dead of the night.

.

.

.

At around 8 am the next morning, Aadhira was ready.

To face what she had left behind.

To face the past.

To face them who killed her happiness forever.

To face the family she had left behind.

To face what all had been destroyed that one terrible day.

Today she had to face her family, or to be more precise today they had to face her.

This time she wanted answers.

Because the last time all she got was silence.

This time she wanted to see how many of them could still meet her eyes, could bear to give her answers.

And when all of this was done, she would play.

A deadly nasty game of revenge.

After what they did to her, they deserved it.
