Chapter 5 Asha's P.O.V

I woke up late after having my girly time with my friend Thara. When I woke up, she had already left for college and was handing me a note from the nightstand stating "will catch you at the mall" amore Thara. I smiled and pulled myself to freshen up and went out and asked the head chef who was present at the living room at Thara's house about whether she had her breakfast. She said the young miss had her breakfast, but...

she left her college bag, books, purse, and even her ID card on the desk on the side, Miss Asha I made the phone call to the young miss but she was cutting the call instead of attending the call. This is the first time my young miss is behaving like this and even scolded me for asking her to have breakfast.

Saying okay and I called her from my mobile, but the call was cut off and next it turned off, so I urgently called Aaron to inform him about this. Aaron picked up the call and playfully asked, "What can I do for my dear, sweet sister who called this early?" I didn't make any delay, didn't beat around the bush, and informed him about what happened. The call went silent, and he replied, "Don't do anything stupid; just go to her college and check if she is there then just watch her behaviour and try to call her again and inform her to join the shopping schedule as usual; inform me of the update; I will take care; but don't behave like you have a suspicion about her behaviour."

She joined us at the mall where we have been shopping after her classes, but I could sense something was not okay with her behaviour-the way she walks, the way she speaks to us, plus her eyes looked like something was missing-her blue pupils were a dark navy blue in color instead of the normal blue colour, which was not an attractive one. I asked her what happened and why did her eyes look puffy? She simply shrugged her shoulders and said I was in a practical class sitting in front of the computer for more than 3 hours, so I got a headache and my eyes looked puffy. I thought what she said seemed okay, but it was still not correct. I texted her this morning, before we went shopping, about where we were going and other such things, and by luck she replied that I only had commerce and trading class today, so I would be there by this afternoon. But now what she said didn't sync with her text message, and she reached the shopping mall at almost 5 p.m. in the evening. I recorded and updated everything that had happened to Aaron, and he was on his way to our shopping mall⚠️.

So, we all purchased the things that we needed, and now it was Thara's time to finish her shopping. While selecting her dress, Diya came near her and said, "We saw a peach-coloured dress while we were shopping in that shop. By pointing towards the shop opposite to us, it looks stunning with golden brown sequences with a blue soft fur finishing the hemline. Let's go see if it will look good on you, so we can try it on, in that shop.

I have already told the shopkeeper to keep that dress separate so you can try it whenever you want without time management. Diya took hold of Thara's arm and almost tried to drag her to that shop, but Thara's behaviour stunned everyone. She pulled back her arm and asked, "Who the hell are you trying to touch me?" and slapped her face with so much force that it made Diya crumble and fall down on her small butt touching the earth.

After that, I dragged Thara out of the shopping mall and asked her why you were yelling at her and you even slapped her. Thara, Diya is our friend. She didn't do anything wrong. It's your first time to beat her like that; you always loved her dress selection for you, but why now like this? She seemed to think for a while and said maybe in the past she did my dress, but now that she is my friend, there is a limit to everything; she doesn't have the right to pull me anywhere she likes, and that too, she doesn't deserve to be my friend.

Diya was following us, thinking whether she had done anything wrong, and pulled Thara's hand to halt to say sorry, but Thara got angry and lifted her hand to give her a slap on the face. All of a sudden, Aaron came and held her hand against the slap and told us all to go home. Pranav became enraged by Thara's behaviour, and Diya restrained him. After telling them to leave, Pranav took Diya with him. Diya, was a soft-hearted girl with less attitude compared to me. Aaron drove and took me and Thara to his penthouse.
