Sunday

Alia's pov

Today's our school reunion. I know if I told Siya about it she won't come. So I lied to her about dinner plan. She dared to ignore me . She will pay the price for it today . She doesn't know what her best friend has planned for her today...

Let me show her some care...
I texted her ,
"My other half , are you coming? Our date's today. Don't be late . Make yourself pretty."

It's not that she will become beautiful overnight. I don't care how she looks as long as I look more beautiful than her.

Alia's outfit for reunion

I entered ' Hotel Maniprabha '. Almost all our classmates were present here..

"Hey Alia , is that you ? " Natasha called me..

"Yes , it's me."

" You look so pretty."
"You're so cute ."
"You haven't changed a bit ."
I heard them  compliment me...

"Hey everyone, Alia is here . Let's start our party ." , Natasha said..

" Everyone cheers to our school ." And we all took out seats.

"Alia , since you got a job in big company, your vibe feels a bit changed . You look like a classy lady now ." One of the guys commented.

I mentioned Siya , " I just got lucky. Siya supported me a lot ."

" Do you still hang out with her ?" Asked Natasha with a irritated face.

" She's my other half. " I said with a smile as I wanted to preserve my image as a nice person in front of all.

" You are too nice for her. What is she up to ? Does she still depend on you for everything?" , said Sara .

"She is modest. She has got a lot prettier . She's coming later here . Actually I invited her." I pretended to be nice making them feel as if I do some favours on her. I know they don't like her and the reason for their dislike is also me... I fed them many lies about her.

"Be nice to her. She's going through a tough time.." I said

"Why , what happened? " They asked.

" Do you remember I told you that I referred her to RK Industries and she got hired as a contract worker . Now she has got a crush on Samrat." I lied and put oil in the fire...

" Wait .. Samrat ?? Isn't he your boyfriend ? Is he the same guy ?" asked Trisha .

"Well .... Actually... Leave it... Please don't bring it up to her please. She will feel bad ..." I pretended to hesitate.

"Why should we not do it ?? She's doing it again... First in highschool now again ... " Natasha said

Just then I received a call from Siya saying that she was here and asked me  where I was seated...

Just then my batchmates began to whisper something pointing to my back ... And I wondered what happened...
Just then I heard her voice,

"Alia, I am behind you ."

Let the drama begin , Siya. You will be humiliated and embarrassed tonight and then I will be the only one to console you....

And I turned back only to get the shock of my life....

" What's this , Alia ? You didn't inform me that it wasn't just us for dinner..Hey everyone , it has been a long time since we met ...."

Is it really Siya ?? The one with that rounded glasses and dupatta??? Why can't I recognise her ?

Siya's pov

I entered the venue and as expected my batchmates were present there along with Alia . All were surprised to see me especially Alia. She might have never expected me to wear such an outfit .
" Hey everyone, It has been a long time since we met " and took my seat at the table.

" How did the ugly duckling change into a swan?" One of the guys commented .

" I am sorry but I don't remember you. So you are pretty much a stranger to me. You are rude ." I replied back to him .

He was taken back by my words, " Was I rude? I am sorry . I was clueless. By the way , I am Sumit"

Another guy said , " He was clueless back then and even now. He hasn't changed ."

Someone banged the glass on the table and said  ,"You even copied Alia's earings and you want to talk about manners ?" That was Natasha, my bully and everyone noticed our earrings .

I came prepared today for this moment...

" No , they are not the same . " Sumit said ." These earrings look really nice " he said pointing towards my earrings, " these look really cheap. " He said pointing to Alia . " Siya even has a matching bracelet with the earings."
Everyone began to whisper.

"Are those fake ?"

"Yes , I think they are replica brand."

" Alia , did you copy Siya's earrings ."

" Alia , you should have bought the authentic ones."

" There are many fake pieces . Forget it . It can happen if you are broke. "

Everyone taunted Alia and laughed at her . Alia was embarrassed and frustrated and took out her earrings and kept them in her purse.

Tit for tat , Alia. You deserve it .

" Excuse me , everyone. " I said and left for the washroom...

Last time I hid in the fourth cubicle..
So I entered the same one and remembered my previous life.

I heard the same voices of Natasha and her friends...

" Why did she even come to the reunion?"

"She has no friends.."

"Still, how is she even hanging out with Alia ? "

"Alia , being a kind hearted girl is just too nice to her ."

"Even in high school she troubled Alia....."

"Wait , Natasha ."

"What?"

" She was not there at the table earlier . So she must be in one of the cubicles "

Just like the previous time , they began to kick open the doors one by one . But this time, I won't stay back so before she  opened my door  , I kicked it open . The trio were taken aback seeing me .

It's time for action, Siya .

Don't let the past repeat . It's time to change my past . Today I will get all my answers. It's time to confront them.

So now it's confrontation time between Siya and her highschool bullies..

This chapter was too long so I divided it into two chapters ...

Next chapter will be meeting of Siya and her first love

And more of revelation of Alia's true face
