I'm sure, all AY fans would remember the scene when ashi comes to know about Yuvi n Sid's bet about making her fall for Yuvi...and everyone must have applauded Priya for her acting, her expressions, her emotions in that scene and the one after that with Sonia...
It is one of my favourites in remix....
So what was Ashi feeling during that scene? What were her thoughts that time..
I tried to write them down....😛..interspersed with one of my fav songs...
___________________________________________________________
Breathe....go to the left...then the right turn...come on...
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
Ashi half ran through the halls of Maurya...her hand was balled into a tight fist...her own nails digging deep into her palm...her other hand clutching her cell phone as though her life depended on it.
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
The hallways were empty...no one was around...which was both a blessing and a curse...one hand ashi didn't give a damn about who would see her...comment on her....probably they would be shocked to see her...Anvesha Bannerjee Ray...the school's resident prankster like this.....
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
Maybe they would laugh...oh yes...ashi was sure that Tia and her friends would jeer if they saw her now...Latty would smirk...Jumbo would say..."Well well well what's happened to you now Miss Ray?? It seems as though the joke's on you now.."
'A joke', she thought bitterly, yes, that's what she had become...she was always related to jokes...it was fitting that in the end..she had become a joke now...
All thanks to....him...
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
Ashi increased her pace...she didn't want anyone to find her...or maybe she didn't want him to find her...and laugh at her...
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
She felt her vision go blurry...and thought that maybe she was going to faint. 'Maybe then he'll rejoice...if I faint here..' she thought and then realised that the blurriness was her own sheen of tears. She stopped and swiped her hand over her face, fiercely.
She didn't cry...she was Anvesha Ray...she couldn't cry...she wasn't like all those cry babies at Maurya...she wasn't supposed to cry...not for anyone...not especially for him...
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Yet, it was getting harder n harder to suppress the lump that had formed in her throat....she cursed the fact that it was taking her such a long time to get to her room...
Then she stopped and reconsidered...why should she go to her room..where Vrinda and MP would ask her questions and mostly likely pity her...
No, she changed tack and whirled around, going in the opposite direction, almost running now...
She wanted to break free...get away from all this...the school...and especially from him. Him....
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
She could still hear the taunting voice...of his best friend...telling her that it was all false. She had listened and for a moment...her world consisted of a small square of blue design on the canteen wall...she could not bear herself to focus on the guy infront of her...anything to make him take back what he had said...
Then...after a moment which seemed like eternity...she walked away from there...willing herself not to break down...Her whole being felt as though it had been through a huge grinder...as though her whole world had crashed down upon her...
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
Her foot caught on a piece of wood jutting out from the staircase and she went sprawling over on the floor, landing hard. For a moment she lay there...letting the pain wash over her...till she felt numb.
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
This was what it felt like to be humiliated, she thought. Then she got up, purposely treading with her injured foot...it felt so good to feel the pain...to be overcome by the physicality of it...knowing it could be healed...
Ashi now hobbled towards the front entrance of the school...her sight now even more blurry...so blurry that she didn't see the mass of white infront of her.
"Ashi! What-what happened?!" a strong yet soft hand gripped her. It was only after the mass of white held her face that she realised dully that it was her mom.
She pulled back...she want to face her mom as well...didn't want to admit to her that her mother had been right all along and she had been nothing but a fool...
However Sonia held on to her...and ashi broke down completely...
"Mumma..woh mujhse pyar nahin karta...he doesen't love me mumma.." was all she could manage to choke out...
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
Sonia looked shocked to see her like this...all broken and fragile..and without a word led her away...to her car...
***
Sonia watched her...she was sitting all alone on the sofa...she had a piece of glass in her left hand and a rose in the other...
Ashi had been clutching the glass piece so hard that it had crushed beneath her fingers...and splintered.showering her hands with blood...
In her right hand, she held a small, dried up rose...and she was balling it up as tightly as she could...the thorns scratching against her fingers and not doing so much damage as the glass.
Yet Sonia knew that it was her right hand that was hurting the most...
*
Ashi heard the last few words of the song....
But in the end
It doesn't even matter ...
She threw away the rose as hard as she could...as far as she could........
