Chapter 2 : Her one and only Bash

Zara collapsed on the bed after working for the whole day. Selina works till nine. She is working as VFX designer in a renowned company. Recently they got a new project so Selina is working overtime. After showering Zara cooked simple meal listening to her favourite songs.

“Oh my god Zara!!! Can you please decrease the volume?”

Selina shouted entering the house but Zara rolled her eyes and increased the volume winking at Selina. Selina shouted again but Zara swirled around holding the spatula singing the song.

“I would kill that whole group, you are crazy about them and you are making our home a living hell every night”

Selina scolded angrily making Zara frown.

“Do not speak about them like that. If you bad mouth them you bad mouth me” said Zara seriously.

Selina shook her head in defeat before retreating to her room. Zara loves LTW group a lot. She never tolerates anyone who talks bad about them. Selina is not interested in songs she only likes melodies but after meeting Zara she got to know more about pop music.

Selina is not a fan of LTW on the contrary she hates them because Zara is madly in love with that group. She scolds and fights with everyone who mocks them. Every day when she gets back home she wants to listen soothing melody songs but Zara plays LTW songs. She started hating that group for making Zara crazy.

They both sat on the sofa eating dinner made by Zara.

“Let’s watch a movie” said Selina.

“No” said Zara before clicking on LTW video. Selina’s face turned green with fury but held back. This happens every day she better buy another TV.

“Your drool is all over the place Zara” commented Selina staring at Zara who is watching TV without blinking as if she is watching her lover.

Zara touched her lips and found nothing.

“You will die with heart attack if you watch them”

Zara put the noodles into her mouth glaring at her infuriating friend.

“I’ve been watching them for over a year because of you and I am perfectly alright”

Selina made a funny face at Zara which increased her anger

“You are that unlucky person who can’t see the real world”

Zara spoke with indifference and started humming the song while eating. Selina rolled her eyes at Zara and continued eating her food. It’s hard to talk to Zara when it comes to LTW. She really wish to kill all the members of the group no she should kill that one person in the group who made this mad girl even more mad.

“Enough! Go to sleep, tomorrow you have to go to college”

Selina took the remote from Zara and ordered her to go to her room.

“I will sleep after watching two more songs”

Zara snatched back the remote and pushed Selina out of her sight and enjoyed what she is seeing. Selina kicked the sofa angrily and retreated to her room to sleep.

Zara is immersed in the music and dance. She got to know about LTW when she was fifteen. It’s her sister who forced her to listen their music and her sister is huge fan of Simon Reynolds who is one of the LTW.

They were just rookie group back then but when she heard their music she fell in love with them instantly. She likes their lyrics a lot than their music.

It's kind of similar to her situation. LTW encourage people to achieve their dreams and goals, not to fear the world and face the reality, fight for their future, never give up, never back down because of difficulties. She learnt so much from them.

They motivated her with their music. Whenever she feels stressed she listen to their music which makes her relaxed. They are like her another family. After coming to abroad she thought she couldn’t survive alone but she never gave up and struggled to have stable life and she is happy now.

She sometimes feel that she made a wrong decision when she remember her father’s words. She always felt depressed and even their music can’t make her feel better. At times like this she would drive to her college which located near the sea.

She loves beaches a lot, she will spend sometime at the shore to relieve her worries. She too like Simon as he is handsome in the group but Sebastian Wild took her heart away. Coming out of the trance Zara switched off the TV before giving a kiss to her favourite band member.

“Good night Bash” whispered Zara before sleeping.

Bash is Sebastian’s nickname given by Zara. Fans call him Sebasty but Zara don’t want to be like them so she chose Bash. She wanted to be special when it comes to him. She didn’t know why but she really fell hard for this man. But reality always kicked her hard because she can never be with him except her dreams.

He is only hers in her dreams. Her one and only Bash and she fucking want him to be hers in real life. But that’s only her fantasy.

“Hello sis, How do you do?”

Zara missed her sister and also her cute nephew, Sean. She called Jenna sitting in the car after the college.

“I am fine but Sean is becoming more and more naughty” said Jenna cleaning the mess.

Sean is thirteen months old now. Jenna was five months pregnant when Zara came to another country. She thought to be with her cute little nephew when he was born but her future is important. She bought so many clothes for him with her hard earned money and send them to him.

“Oh my poor sis”

Zara laughed imagining her sister cleaning the mess created by her super sweet nephew.

“Are you done with the classes?”

“Yeah! I called mom yesterday”

Zara held the steering remembering her dad. Jenna stopped her actions and took a deep breath.

“Did he talk?”

“What do you think?”

“I am sorry Zara”

Jenna apologized guiltily. She is also one of the reasons for making their dad become more adamant and stubborn not to send her to study abroad.

“Enough with this nonsense, How is my nephew?”

Zara cheered and talked about Sean. She didn’t want her sister to feel bad about the past. She is still living the life she wanted after everything. So there is no point to cry over spilled milk.

“He is fine, hey LTW is having a concert near your place right. Aren’t you going?” asked Jenna excitedly.

“It’s two hours from here and how can I go alone? Selina is busy with her work” said Zara frustrated.

“Oh my poor sis”

Jenna imitated her sister laughing hard making Zara even more frustrated. They talked for twenty minutes before Zara drove back to her home.

She sat on the couch sulking thinking about the concert. How she wished to go there but Selina’s work spoiled everything and for god sake why didn’t anyone build a stadium close to her home so that they can have concert here.

Scolding everyone who made her miss the concert Zara did her laundry. Tomorrow is the weekend and she didn’t want to work so she called the café manager to take leave and he agreed. It’s ten already why is there no sign of Selina?

She sat on the couch and took the remote planning to watch a horror film to distract her thoughts from the concert and called Selina

“Hey where are you?”

“I am on my way, Can you buy me dinner please? I want Spaghetti and milk shake”

Selina told the menu trying to stop a taxi as she didn’t have dinner with her colleagues.

“You dare to ask me buy you dinner when you made me miss the concert”

Zara scolded Selina gritting her teeth and threw the remote on the couch. Selina put her phone far away from her ear and chuckled

“I am really sorry Zara, I will definitely take you to their next concert”

She promised sincerely but Zara scoffed climbing the steps

“They won’t perform every month in this country you idiot”

“Even if it’s another country, I will take you there”

Selina was determined and she meant her words.

“Say that again I want to record your words”

Zara said before recording her words.

“Happy!! Now please buy me dinner I am on my way and I am starving”

Selina heaved a sigh when she saw taxi stopping in front of her. She hoped into it and pleaded Zara.

“Roger that”

Zara spoke like a soldier and went out to buy dinner for Selina. Restaurant is just ten minutes walk from her home and Selina once worked their as waitress. She’s familiar with the place and people in the restaurant.
