Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

eva wake up" I heard my mom screaming .

"No pl "ease let me sleep" I shouted back ,covering my ears with pillow.

"Fine by me . But let me tell you its 10 am and it's against your habit to get up so late." She said making me jump off my bed .

"Oh shit . Why you didn't wake me earlier ?"I asked annoyingly.

"Its ok baby ,we slept very late last night. "She said

"Ya but I hope you are up since 6 ....."I said with a smirk.

"Ya , but I have to go to office and you are free so its fine"she said even making me more annoyed .

"Alright."

"Ok ...so take a shower and come down ..breakfast Is ready and I have to head to work early and I will late today".she ordered

"Why " I asked

"Cause I am working at two projects right now" .she informed.

"Okkkayy" I shouted and headed towards shower and closed the door and heard her slamming my bedroom door ." I suppose it's a habit of hers ... slamming doors .

I entered my washroom and I don't know why but as soon as water touched my body my nerves relaxed and I started crying ...maybe because of all the things going on in my life and the problems of my mom and Leslie's post breakup drama ...I, mean it's good it's now resolved. But I don't know but there's something I feel I have left behind . I am not happy with all what's going on in my life and situations are not getting any better and it sucks .

"eva come down .I am getting late." My mom screamed from downstairs making my own little sad bubble break.

"Coming" I replied wiping off the tears off my face and got dressed and applied my favourite cologne.

I was wearing white casual shorts along with a black top on which it was written "I love newyork ".

I headed downwards and stuffed my mouth with doritos .

"You are again eating that junk shimmer." My mom said .

" Mommm ... not again."I pleased.

"Ok .. but you have to finish all of these ."my mom said placing a tray full of cheese sandwiches in front of me .

"No ....why do you want me to be fat." I screamed jokingly.

Just then her lawyers name flashed on her phone and I handed it over to her.

She talked to him and and disconnecting the phone she had a sense of pride in herself.

"What was it "I asked her knowing that she may not answer.

But to my surprise she did.

"He said that legal notice has been sent to the lawyer and date will be revealed in 2-3days and even earlier if his lawyer replied to the notice ."she told happily.

"Mom are you really ready for this ". I inquired knowing what how weak she has been since last 11 years.

"Yes I am ready . And please even if you cannot support be atleast dont pull me back ."she sighed.

"Mom ...how could you say that. I will definitely support you as I always do ."I told her.

Her phone ringed again.

"Ok so it's my office ...may I leave"she asked with puppy eyes .. maybe feeling she has said something wrong.

"Okay bye "i said and she kissed my forehead and headed towards work .

I jumped on the sofa and started working on my recent research work project origin of names ."

Then only I started thinking about where did my parents got the idea to name me eva ... and ended with making a promise to myself to ask my mum later.

I started watching season 8 of friends for the 50^th time I suppose but I love that season and expression of Ross when Rachel tells him about her pregnancy is legendary.

After watching it for 2 hours .I got a notification on my laptop about the music pack i bought online .....ya I am a music lover and that's the thing which continues to make me happy even in harsh days .

I love the band with five boys and the dragons and many more people who express the same feeling about life as I do.

And I feel that not only me but everyone in this world is living with a broken heart.

It was 7 in the evening when I got up from the couch and called my mom ...no answer .

I called leslie....no answer I don't know what's happening.

There were two miss calls on my phone ....one from a bank for credit card and one from Tom.

I got nervous and thought why he is calling me ..but called him back anyhow.

"Hi "he picked the phone on second ring "

"Hi " I said eagerness falling from my mouth to know the reason.

"I want to meet you " he said to my surprise .

"What ...I mean why."I said

"Please eva don't judge me but I am kinda in love with someone else now." He said.

"Whaaaaaaat " I said falling to my knees.

"Ya ."he said coolly

I disconnected the phone and tried to call leslie .

"Pick up the phone ....pleaaaaseeee... . "I said to myself .

Tom was calling me back again .

I didn't pick.

Again Tom's name flashed on my iPhone's screen .

"Nooooo I am not picking it " I said to myself .

But ...ya ,.. I did.

"Helloo" I said .

"What do you want to say now "I said .

"It's you eva ...I love you ." He said .

"What ...no ...no...no.. you cannot love you ....you cannot even like me ....Leslie's my bestfriend and I dont want to loose her . I mean is this kind of joke or something, cause it's not funny .

"I know eva and I know that also that you will never love me back ..because you are a loyal friend ... but I love you too much and atleast I cannot be with leslie when you are in front of me.

"Okay talk to you later."I said and threw the phone on ground .

I was not able to understand anything when leslie called back .

Oh my God!!! What should I do .should I pick her phone .. .

I didn't.

It was a knock on door when and I opened it ....it was leslie crying and at first I thought that she knows what happened ..who told her Tom .. no ...he can't...I hate him.

She fell in my arms and told me that her mother died in a car accident . What a coincidence .
