Heartbreaks.....
It was the last day of exam and of course the day before the trip to Alaska. All of them gave the exam and the girls went for shopping.
"White or grey"? Nuri had picked of two tops.
" I think white, it suits you"exclaimed Adrick
"Have I asked you? and what on earth are you doing in the girls section of a mall?"
"Just exploring"
"Exploring what? Lingerie or heels for yourself? " Nuri grinned and he went on.
"Did you call him here"?
"Why would I"
"Okay, leave it, so, I'll buy the white.. I think the colour suits me"
Deep down, Jia knew she was the culprit. she provided the details to Adrick...
"I feel more like a detective now" She had told Adrick.
The girls carried on with buying clothes, shoes and some makeup.

"I think I should start looking for a part time job somewhere near the campus, it's difficult to survive here without money and above all spending my father's money recklessly on this stuff is not me"
"Yeah, think you're right, till you get any internship from recognised institutes next year, you can work at a cafe or store."
"Yeah, next year I'll apply for youth programs at the United Nations, I think I am confident enough but need to work upon my application"
"Don't worry, we'll together go explore some stores next weekend"

"Hey girl! I think we have something to talk about... No"?
" Talk about what"?
"Regarding the trip"
"See, I am not interested in your silly trip... it was a yes from my side because of Ana and if Amit agrees to talk to me once, I can think of forgiving you". "So, I need you to talk to Amit and reconcile us"
"Oh, what if he proposes you for marriage, what about my chance then" giggled Adrick.
"You're sick Adrick, I don't know how do you manage sarcasm at this situation too"
"Okay fine, I'll talk to him"
"Good"
"But will you marry me then"
"Not so funny Adrick" She blushed and went away.

"I can't come to the trip Nuri, I am sorry"
"As expected"
"Um what"
"Nothing important... what's the reason"
"Leg sprain, I fell from the bed yesterday"
"Then, I think we'll just postpone the trip"
"Oh, no no, you all can go... and Jia could accompany you in my place"
"Okay, but we'll just come and have a look at your leg... does it hurt bad"
"No, No" but till then Nuri and Jia had already left for her place.
"You care for your sister so much Adrick, that's so sweet...Huh? now enough with your lies... I thought you to be a little generous Ana, but here you are with you're brother who's going insane over a girl who doesn't love her back... I can't believe you, the sick family of liars"
"Enough of your actions Nuri, I just cared for you but not now after your ridiculous actions...not now Nuri"
"My actions are ridiculous then what about you, you just tried to separate me and my best friend?"
"I can't believe you just went straight to my family, you're not the same girl I loved, not the same girl who would do anything for the people who loved"
"You what?"
"I loved the innocent and honest girl, I didn't loved you Nuri"
"But"
"No not now, you're late now"
"But you never confessed..... "
"Was all the care and passion not enough to show my love, love doesn't always needs to be shown Nuri, but leave it" and he left.
A sudden run of emotions and eyes full of tears
A famous quote from Aisling Magie's novel reflected through her brain again and again and again and again:
"Somewhere between hello and goodbye there was love"
"Nuri?"
"Leave her alone Ana, she needs to spend sometime alone"said Jia... " I don't know what God seeks from her taking her brother and two best friends from her emotionally"she spoke to herself.
"See we need to take her to trip tomorrow,you need to stop your acts and help me reconcile them, we don't know about the people back in India but we can reconcile these two" Said Jia to Ana.
"Alright you take care of her, I'll handle my brother, be ready for the trip tomorrow we have another 16 hours with us"
"Okay let's execute the plan"........
