Zain's Pov

Empty. That's how I was feeling right now as I saw the girl, I feel for walk away with her father. Her face looked pale as she looked at me for the last time.

I saw a tear roll down her eye as she wiped it before her father could see it and I felt my heart shatter at that look on her face.

This wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought we were meant to be.

Last three days with her were magical, we spent all the time with each other and yeah maybe sometime with the boys but they didn't mind me spending my time with the girl who stole my heart.

Aria was the first and the only girl I had felt for, and it will be hard to forget her.
And I'm not planning on doing so.

It was her eyes that made my eyes flutter the first time I saw her at the airport. She was standing there beside her father taking her surrounding in.

Her laugh was another factor that made me want to keep looking at her forever. Her smile is the best. She is the best.

When we argued the first time, I could tell the girl was full of wit and adorableness. She looked nervous when she thought she had missed her plane and that's when I took hold of Ranbir and pulled him with me and purposely bumped with her to tell her that she still hasn't missed her plane and she should remove those worry lines from her forehead.

When her face turned to relief and we left, Ranbir kept giving me weird glances and I know that idiot won't leave me until he knows what's up.

I smiled as I remembered all the days of the trip and all the moments we shared together.

It was yesterday when we exchanged our phone numbers and decided to give long distance relationship a chance. We also exchanged our emails just in case.

"Dude she's gone, get out of it." Ranbir slapped my back making me aware that we are still at the airport waiting for Aarav's parents to pick us all up.

I looked at Ranbir and sighed, he knows I'm missing Aria terribly and he gave me an encouraging smile and pulled me for a bro hug. I gave him a small smile and looked towards the boys.

What had I ever done to get stuck with them? Abeer and Aarav were fucking arguing over who would eat the last piece of gems. And Varun just ignored them and had his phone in his hand.

"You can't eat it, it's green." Aarav says and Abeer makes a face.

"That doesn't even make sense, what happens if it is green?"

"Your shit would turn green." Aarav says with a smirk and Abeer makes a disgusted face.

"You're impossible," Abeer says handing over the piece to Aarav. "I don't even feel like eating it anymore."

"Aww don't worry, eat the Cadbury it's colour is -"

"Don't you even finish that sentence," Varun says coming out of his phone and looking at Aarav disgusted to which he just grinned and ate the last piece while showing it to Abeer.

I turned to look at Ranbir to ask him about our traveller when the smell of strong perfume hit me. I cursed under my breath and looked beside to see Inaya walking towards me with kiya behind her.

"Hey boys," kiya slurred and I saw Tanya going towards Ranbir who was at the food counter to buy something.

Inaya came and stood beside me a little bit too closer for my liking. I roll my eyes and moved away from her and her horrible perfume.

"Hey Zain, I was wondering can we come with you guys back to Jaipur? Actually no one from our family is still here and they aren't picking up their calls too."

"No," I give her a simple answer and both of their faces fell.

"I told you, you can't come with us and please for fvck sake stop following me." Ranbir's raged voice boomed and we looked at him as he stormed towards us with a burger and a soda can in his hand and Tanya not too far from him with a pouty face.

"Please Ranbir, I will give you a good head massage on the way." Tanya insisted.

"No, thanks." He says taking a bite out of his burger as if he just did not reject a girl. I shook my head and chuckled. That's why I like him better.

I looked back at Kiya and Inaya who were looking at each other and it looked like they were talking through their eyes. I frowned sensing their intentions and turned towards Varun when Inaya called me.

"Hey Zain, can I borrow your phone for a minute, I think I should give a call to our parents, they aren't picking up mine." She says and I frown, why do I feel like they have some bad intentions.

I shook my head and ignored them; I wasn't just going to give my phone to them. It has very important information inside it.

Aria's phone number and her email id was saved in it. I looked down at my phone and caressed her picture which was displayed on my speed dial.

"Please Zain, we will give it back to you immediately." I narrowed my eyes at them and they looked back at me innocently.

I sighed and looked down at my phone and saved Aria's number and email on my drive for backup and gave them for a call.

"Just stand here and call, don't walk away." I warned giving them my phone and Ranbir glared at me. I shrugged and shook my head.

I looked over at Inaya to see her typing on the number and waiting for the call to be picked. When someone picked up the call, she looked at the phone and gave me a frown.

"There is no range here, I'll go a little far and talk to my mom." She says and before I can deny she walked away. I was about to follow her when Tanya all of a sudden spilled the soda Ranbir had brought on my clothes.

"What the hell?" I roared looking down at my clothes, they're going to get sticky in no time.

"That was my soda." Ranbir says narrowing his eyes at Tanya who looked like a deer caught in headlights. She looked behind me and then back at Ranbir and bit her lip.

"Sorry I was just thirsty, and you came in the middle." Tanya says and my face morphed into one of fury.

"I came in the middle? I was fucking standing five feet away from you, and where did you wanted to walk? The wall?" I asked in anger and pointing towards the wall she tried to walk and spilled the soda on me.

"No...I...I was-" she was cut off when Inaya came and stood in front of me and showed me my phone.

"Here, thank you so much Zain," she says and I took my phone from her furiously and her eyes looked at my chest and her eyes widened. "Oh my god, you're all wet, let me clean it for you." She says and try putting her hand on my chest but I swatted her hand away and took the clothes which Abeer had removed from my bag, and handed over to me.

With a last glare I walked towards the washroom with my clothes. I looked down at the phone to see last call was to some unknown number. I next went and checked Aria's number and email and sighed when everything was the same.

Once I was back with a new set of clothes, I saw Ranbir and Aarav waiting for me. "The traveller has arrived; we were waiting for you." Aarav says and picks up his bag as Ranbir gave me a questioning look asking me if I was fine. I just nodded my head and took my bags as we walked towards our traveller.

Once outside I looked everywhere, hoping Aria would still be here but to my disappointment she was already gone. I looked at my phone, wondering if she has messaged me. I know I sound desperate but I can't help it when Aria is involved.

She promised she would message me or call me when she would ready Delhi so I just smiled and kept my bags as boys got inside and fought over who sat at the window seat. I roll my eyes and went at the last seat and took out my phone again. I looked at the selfies we clicked and involuntarily a smile crept on my face.

It's been a week and I haven't received any message, call or an email from her. It was like she just vanished. I tried calling her number but it would always go on hold and my messages never reached her.

I was sitting in my room waiting for the boys to come today, we had planned on eating at my house. My mom being the best cook and the boys loving her food, it was no issue.

I once again went to her profile and tried calling her. This time the ring went and she picked up on the third ring.

I suddenly felt excited and a smile crept up on my lips. "Hey Aria," I say and l was rewarded with silence. I frowned and looked down at the call, it was on but no one was speaking. "Aria? You there?" I ask but still no one answered.

I was about to call her once again when she spoke and my heart broke into billion pieces.

"It's over Zain, don't ever call me again." were her final words before the call was cut and I kept standing there.

What

Just

Happened?

I tried calling her again but it was of no use, she had blocked me. From everywhere possible.

What happened? Where did I go wrong? Did she find someone else?

I should be happy that she found someone who can be with her and not miles away from her and to be there with her through all the ups and downs but I don't, I don't feel happy to even think someone else talking to her, to hold her, to touch her the way I do.

She can block me number of times, but it was true when I said I loved her. And I know I can't forget her even if I want to.

She was struck in my heart.

We don't talk anymore.

I was hearing that song while writing this and I fucking cried so much. If you guys wanna hear, I've posted it above.

But I really think, the song resemble so much to Zain and Aria.

Oh but don't worry the next chapter would be FUN.

It will be back to present, and you can see Ahana and Kaira back.

So bye till then.
