7. FRIENDSHIP

When they reached the room it was 12.00, midnight. April opened the door in a yawning face.

Aria rushed into the bathroom. She looked herself in the mirror, seems to be exhausted. She touched her cheeks then her lips on which he kissed with her tender fingers, she felt his lips on them, the hot air of his breath, the pressure. This is the first kiss of her life, she had always dreamed it to be a perfect one at the perfect place with the man he loves. She opened the tap, washed her face once, twice, trice she still felt his lips on hers. The pressure he exerted. She took off her clothes, she saw dark patches on her hips. These were the marks of his fingers. She wanted to clean her up so she immersed herself fully into the bathtub. She closed her eyes and stayed still for a long. But she was not able to concentrate the image of him kissing her rushed to her mind, she jerked out of the bathtub.

“God, why can’t I get him out of my mind. Please help me? May this is because he is the first man who kissed me or maybe because a man touched me without my permission, she thought

When she was out of the bathroom she heard Sam telling April about the incident.

“ Ana, you did the right thing. You could have kicked his manhood” April said

“Yeah, it was an auxiliary action. The only thing I had in mind was to run”

“You are a brave girl, forget everything sleeps tight. Don’t think about thin anymore”

“You are right I should get some sleep to get back to my equilibrium”

“Ana, just tell me one thing. How does he look? Hot? “Sam asked from behind

Aria throws a pillow at her. “Can you please stop this? I don’t remember his face”

Liar, you remember it exactly, How can you forget the face of the first man who kissed you? Well, he is a good looking handsome with hot physic. Tall, sharp eyes, long fingers also good strength. Aria heard her inner voice. “Fuck” unfortunately she said it loud.

“What,” both April and Sam asked at on same time.

“Nothing,” Aria said and went to bed.

Then Aria remembered what Sam said in the morning about April. She decided to talk to her.

“April, can I ask you something, don’t make it bad”

“Shoot Ana”

“We found some changes in your behavior these days. Is there anything you need to tell us?

“Well, since you asked, I think it’s better to tell you. I thought I will tell you about this once it is confirmed.”

“Tell us, you know we are there for you whatever it is” Sam gave the confidence

“I think my boyfriend is cheating on me, I saw him with a woman”

“A woman? what did you mean by that?” Sam asked in curiosity

“You know these days I am using cycle and a different road to college, it’s because I saw him leaving that woman’s house one day.”

“ So you were checking on him these days? Aria asked

“Yes. For the past week, I saw him leave the women’s house in the morning”

“Did you asked him about it” Aria asked

“No, I don’t have the guts. What if my fear comes true? I love him, Ana”

“But if he is cheating on you need to confirm it. If it’s true. You should leave him. You don’t have to love someone who is not loving you, not taking care of you. Don’t let anybody hurt you April.”

“I don’t know what to do. We shared wonderful moments. I felt comfortable with him. But for the last few weeks, he was acting weird. He tried to make unnecessary arguments and try to keep a distance from me. Later I saw him leaving that woman’s house. She seems to be elder than him so I am confused.”

“Tomorrow you should ask him about this. Don’t drag it  Or we can catch him red-handed “ Sam said

“You know we are there for you. We are family, We can do as Sam said, April” Aria pampered April

April took a deep breath. “Yes I will catch him red-handed tomorrow”

“Before that, we need a plan. How will we find that” Sam asked

“It is simple tomorrow we three will directly go to that house early in the morning before he leaves. April knows at what time he will leave right. So we need to reach there early”

“That sounds cool,” Sam said

“April, you don’t have to worry about anything. How long you can live with this doubt lets clear everything tomorrow if he is innocent your heart will be lifted from the pain” Aria hugged April

“Also stop eating g chocolate in frustration”

“Oh, you guys noticed that?” April asked in curiosity

“Of course we did dear”

“Thank you for being with me. I love you guys”

“We too love you, dear”

"It's getting late. let's get back to bed"

They went to them. But Aria couldn't sleep well. His face was appearing to her mind every minute. Aria always had an expectation about her future husband, he seems to be very similar to that. His oval face with a strong jaw. His bluish-grey eyes attract her. He looked mighty manhood. Maybe because I provoked him that why he did such insane activity.

"Now I am defending him, what is happening to me" Aria talked to herself.
