9. School reunion

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 he best friend has planned for her today...

Let me show her some care...
I messaged 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 their compliments about 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 . "

I replied , " I got lucky. Siya supporyed 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?"

"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 one of my batchmates .

"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 where I was....

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..

Siya's outfit



" 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 started whispering .

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."

"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
