Third Person's POV

    "...Vijay?" Your voice came out grabbing the attention of the man infront of you.

"Vijay? Who?" Annie asked curious to what you were saying. She waited but you didn't hear what she said, more like didn't want to and so her question was unanswered.

You gulped, pushing through the lump forming in your throat. Your hand was trembling as it covered your parted mouth.

Your breath unevened with rising heartbeat. Hope filling your heart as your steps traveled the short distance in mere seconds. Your trembling hands found it's way to his arms squeezing  it lightly to make sure it was really him.

"It's really you" you said, voice shaking but filled with happiness. You stared at him taking in his new appearance,his longer hair tied back as his beard was now more than visible and the glasses he wore gave off professor vibes from him.

He had really changed. But he was alive? How come no one knew? Where was he up till now? Was he here all this time? You didn't know.

You really didn't.

While your thoughts ran wild you had failed to notice the expression on his face. His eyes were wandering, everywhere except you and his lips formed a thin line. Why was he being like this? Your heart throbbed and the tears you didn't want to show were threatening to spill.

Your grip loosened from his arm as you felt dejected. You withdraw your hand and clenched them to your side. You felt like a fool but you didn't want to feel like that. Unknown to the hand placed on your shoulder you flinched at the unknown contact.

"Miss Y/n? Do you know him?" Miss annie asked as you looked at vijay for the last time your gaze lingering on him for a bit longer before you came back to your senses.

"I-i don't" your voice came out a little weak as miss annie gave you a concerned look. "I think i mistook him for... someone else" you voiced out with a convinced look. Why were you doing this? After 7 years you met vijay and this is how it goes?. You bit your lower lip.

"Let me introduced him then, he's nidhi's father joseph kuruvilla" miss annie spoke with a smile. His name, he changed it and nidhi?.

You looked at the girl who was standing beside vijay hugging his arm looking at you with puzzled eyes. "Baby, do you know miss Y/n?" She asked now looking at her father who flickered his gaze at you for a second.

"I.." he began to say as you expectedly looked at him. "No i don't mama" he replied finally after taking a pause. Your hope crushed at his words. "We'll get going" he announced and picked up nidhi in his arms before placing her on his bike.

"Bye miss annie, bye miss y/n" nidhi waved at you both with a bright smile.
You looked up as the bike drove away from the school.

You went home dejected and slumped on a chair burying your face in your hands. It was really vijay. He was with nidhi, she is so tall now. He even called her mama. You chuckled at the nickname finding it weird but very sweet. You recalled how his hair was longer giving him a mature look as well as his beard which reminded you of a gangster. You smiled with the thoughts running inside your head.

Your smile faded when you remembered Vijay's words, his expression and how he rejected to recognize you. What was he trying to do? Did he not want to be your friend? You groaned unable to keep up with the throbbing in your heart.

You sulked but soon your thoughts drifted to mithira, if vijay and nidhi were alive then mithira and Vijay's mother would also be alive now. Your mind was jumbling with what if'd and why's. The situation was really confusing mainly what happened today.

            You decided to skip dinner as you were tired and just sleep the night away. Unfortunately the thoughts kept you up past midnight before you fell asleep.

The next day you woke up a bit late as you were up late last night. You jumped out of your bed and hurriedly got ready. You checked the time nervously.

'I'm late for school that too at the second day of my job!'  you thought and Skipped to the door deciding to skip the breakfast. You left and almost tripped over a stone.

'Thank god I don't have any classes for the first and second period' you breathed out and relief washed over your face seeing the school's gate ahead. You entered the gate and looked around to find classes had already started so, you walked quietly as to not disturb the ongoing classes.

On your way to the staff room you saw a familiar back at a distance. You recognized it, how could you not you had loved the man for over a decade. You crossed the classroom, it was best to not talk to him.

Your gaze lingered on him and annie, noticing how they seemed close. The pit of your stomach hurt and you blamed it on the lack of food in your system.

You glanced at them for the last time and walked away before getting caught stareing at them.

Lunch break

   You groaned as your class was finished. Finally it was lunch break and you would be able to eat something. You  walked out of your class and headed to the staff room where the teacher's food was delivered.

"Sorry ma'am, you are new so they forgot to bring your food, you'll have to eat at the canteen today" One of the staff said while you stared dumbfounded at them.

"But yesterday they brought my share" you stated as the staff awkwardly tried to smile.

"Yesterday one of the teacher's were absent and you ate their share" he said apologeticly and went to sit on a chair while you stood there.

Today wasn't your day but you still have the canteen! If it's just for a couple of days then you could eat at the canteen. Yeah it's alright, you were just unlucky at that.

You sighed looking at the horrifyingly long line of students waiting to buy lunch. You waited until a few students bought their food and left, walking forward you finally had the chance to buy the food until the bell for the class rang.

'why am i so unlucky!!' you thought before returning to the class without buying anything. This could be a soap opera.
