9 WISHES by hima (best time to read books txt) 📕

I have never thought, i would be something more than a mere beauty.Well,it's not like, i appreciate what i have, but it's just, i wondered, if i ever will achieve something ,other than vast number of suitors who apparently likes me for my beauty or else wealth.

Oh!I haven't introduced myself to you,I'm sorry.I'm Ash the only daughter of the millionaire Mr.Harikishan Gupta,I inherit the property of my papa and take after my mama,who is a former beauty queen. It figures out,I'm bestowed with the precious gifts like money,power and beauty.But something is always missing.


Like, what if you consider the love of my parents?My parents are always pretty busy with their business, that they don't have a full minute, to give me a perk.It's like, I'm given a bowl of ice cream but only, i can't relish the taste of it.So, you see what i'm at loss.


My friends were all like "oh!ash you are so lucky."


Okay,may be i have more than enough money or pretty looks, but what do i have that shows only me, not my legacy.Consider a successful career or a boyfriend, who looks upto me, for what i am or a loyal friend or the love of my family.See, how lucky I am?


People may think,For what do i ever need of a career when i have enough money that can go on feeding my great great grandchildren ,without them doing anything for living,but my point is, i need to prove for what i'm sent to earth not just spending my parents money around.They keep pointing me, that it's my mistake that i don't have a boyfriend since i'm the one rejecting every single person, that has ever proposed but, do you think, i should accept the people who love my money and beauty but not my inner soul?okay.i'm sorry i do have a loyal friend,jyo, but can't i get one more?


Now,i'm in for a college and still i haven't figured out what i'm good at, to prove my worth of being send to earth.

I thought that my life may after all change. It was a new start and probably a good one ,since no one here knows about my legacy ,except for my best friend jyo,but she swears that she wont tell anyone.


The first day of my college is pretty exciting since it was all introductions, like to new classmates,teachers and environment.Finally, i get to meet whole new bunch of people who may someday like me, for what i am.


First year was all like girl chats,bunking college to watch movies,hang out with friends,parties,teasing friends,exams,good scores,giving nicknames to my close buddies,more new novels on fantasy and romance, and eventually rejection of every boy who proposed.


It's like an entire new world with full of colors .Though i'm perfectly contend with my life but still something lacks.


I still, can remember that remarkable day when everything started to change in my perfectly secure and happy world.I didn't know of course,that would turn out to be good, after all.


It was the day when my best buddy jyo got a boyfriend.


"Ash,i'm coming over to your house.please do not go anywhere."jyo sent this text to my mobile.


It was unusual for her to say something like this.I mean, she comes all the time ,i invite her in.But, i kind of got this feeling that something was up.


"Hey,jyo,good to see you on a holiday."i embraced her saying it.


"Yeah,me too."she added,"Can we go to somewhere private?"


See obviously something is up.


"So?"i asked sitting on the couch in my room and pulling her in to sit beside me.


"Ummmmm.......Can you come out with me?"she said.


"Where to?Why?"i asked.


"You will know once you reach there and i'm embarrassed to tell you, but eventually you will figure it out once you come."jyo said tentatively.


"What do i say mama when she asks me where i'm going?"i asked.


"Oh!tell her you are going to a party at my place."she said lightly.


"Wait up."i said and hurried to get mama through phone.


Now we are in a park.


"Will you tell me now, what this is about?"i asked.


"Hold on a sec."saying so she hurried away.


I sat on near by bench, contemplating what was this about but i could get no head or tail of it.
After a few minutes jyo returned but she was not alone this time.Along with her, two boys where coming,one holding her hands and the other was a few feet behind probably listening to an i pod.


Who are these people?and why does jyo hold hands with him?


Ash ,this is rahul and rahul, this is ash.she formally introduced us.


oh!my god my best friend has a boyfriend.Well the story is, he is in my college but a senior and he proposed jyo a few months before and jyo kept rejecting him until yesterday.


Guess what?they are on a date here and i'm chaperon to her, not that i don't like to do it coz,she was always my crying shoulder.That's how i ended up strolling on the sand, on the other side of the lake.There was like a huge distance between me and the love couple, but i can pretty clearly see them holding hands.


I probably found all the shells that lie here still there is no sign of them returning back.I sighed and looked at the other boy who is a friend of rahul.


"What are you listening to?"i asked him trying to start up a conversation.


He obviously hasn't heard me over the music because he was not replying me, unless he is a over-do.


He is kind of hot.He is tall and has well-built body and pretty face, the deep chocolate brown eyes of his, seemed to hold anyone who looked at them.


Oh!an excellent smile which he is doing every few minutes like some kind of funny thing is on the ipod.I'm dead! he caught me staring at him.


Here comes the couple saving me from any embarrassing question, that might pop in between us like "What are you staring at?"


"Thanks,ash."jyo said.


"We are friends right?"i said smiling trying to forget my boredom.


He gave her a good bye kiss and she turned all bright red.He completely adores her ,i knew that from the way ,he looks at her with love filled eyes.I'm happy for jyo, at least she has a boyfriend.


Once we got home jyo told all about him his family,his friends,his hobbies,passions,pastimes color,cuisines,future goals.

I am late for my maths hour.Ms.dixit is gonna kill me.What should i say to prevent her wrath?


Should i say fever?she'll be checking my temperature. Traffic?Nah,to early to have any traffic in this area.may be headache is better.


Well that figures, i am allowed into the class but on condition,i should solve the twenty problems by tomorrow, which are due this weekend and it's only Wednesday.


Sneha was running towards us calling our names practically out of breath.We all looked at her and we were all like "What now?"


"Ash,didn't you say that, today, it's our turn to practice in the auditorium?"she added quickly"Have you asked permission for it?"


"Yes,it's our turn and yes i have asked."i said.


"But..."she added tentatively,"senior boys have settled in and are up with their practice."


"How could they?i mean, i am sure, it was our turn and i got a letter signed, allowing us to practice this day."


"Let's go and find out?" i said.


I was practically screaming at them, to get a word over the music but none of them seems to notice.So,i went straight to the music player and turned it off.


Aha!at last they did notice us and were like "What the hell!"only they didn't say it aloud.


"We have got permission to practice in the auditorium for this day.I think you should leave and allow us to practice here."i said.


One of the boys came towards me and said "We have got one to."(showing me a permission letter).


" We got permission first."i added making a point.


"We came first."he added in his deep masculine voice.


I fixed my gaze at the speaker.(ipod guy!!!!)


"Besides we are seniors."someone shouted from the back and the ipod guy hushed him.


"Well,get of your high horse."i said in a sarcastic tone.


There was eventually an uproar from them.


"It's for you to say,"he bowed with smirk and left for practice without a word ,turning on the music player.


"What's going on children?"our hod said in a deep authoritative tone gazing at all of us.


We gave each side of our story.


"It's not like, we don't have enough room for both of you."he said.


That ended up in dividing the auditorium into half.


"You lost one,dude."rahul said.


"What?"the ipod guy asked.


"Ash,i thought you would make out someday but you seriously lost the golden chance."he added.


"Ash,is that the girl?"he asked.


"Yeah,it's like all the boys are over her,she is one beauty."he said.


"Nah!she is so full of herself."he added."i don't think she is that pretty."


Sneha came reporting the conversation that he overheard and jyo was looking apologetically at me.


"I don't care of what they think."i added after a few minutes of thought"who is this raj?"


"The one you happened to talk to."she said pointing to the ipod guy.


"God,he is so mean."i said.


Jyo asked me to stay over until all of them leaves the auditorium, so that she can have a word with rahul.I thought of saying no, but can i?I mean she is after all my best buddy and she was with me, like forever.so i nodded.


After everyone has left rahul came over to us.He apologized, for the rudeness of his friends.I said it was ok.I can't blame him for his friends arrogance,right?


While they stood talking to each other.I stood there giving raj an evil eye.


"Ash,rahul says that he wants us to take to the benefit show to the harry potter-6,so that he can make it up to you."jyo said.


"Oh!it's so nice of him,but it's
