Chapter 58: 58
Ayla POV
"Dad"
"What happened?"
"Why did you come suddenly without even informing me?" I asked.
Dad is still driving while his facial expression looks weird as if he is angry about something.
"Dad, I’m asking something", I said while he sped up the car, making me scared.
I don’t know why he is driving so freaking fast but I’m sure something is happening without my knowledge. Dad’s grip on the steering is right. n
What happened?
Is it something related to Jace or Mrs White?
What is it?
I didn’t ask and kept my lips shut while soon I found myself in front of the home I kept living alone.
He didn’t even wait for me but went inside while I followed him like his tail.
"Dad"
"Tell me!!!"
"What has gotten to you?"
He again didn’t reply and went to the couch. I did the same as well. After a while, he looked at me and said, "Who was that guy?"
Huh!
"What are you saying, dad!!!" I asked.
"I’m asking about the guy you are within a silent place."
"Was he bothering you? Did he mischief with you? Tell me I will deal with this!!"
"I saw you as if you were about to cry so I hurried to rescue you. I was even ready to call the police in chief but when you came I didn’t but if he bothers you again I will appoint guards for you", he said while holding my shoulder. I kept looking at him without blinking as if what he was saying was completely going out of my mind.
"Dad, what are you saying?" I pushed him a bit.
"Baby, you don’t have to fear and say whatever you feel", he caressed my head. He sure is acting so possessive when it comes to me which made me laugh.
"Ha ha"
"What are you laughing at?"
"Dad, you sure got it all wrong", I said while trying to control my laugh.
"What are you saying?"
"Dad, the guy who you saw was not bad or he was not a mischief, nor that he was threatening but it was all me who was trying to take him here to talk," I said while dad looked shocked.
"Yes dad I may look like a little girl to you but I’m all grown up ."
"And there is something misunderstanding going on with us so I want to talk", I said looking at the ground.
"Baby, is everything ok?" He held my shoulder.
"Yeah dad everything is ok but still some fear keeps on growing inside me."
"I have no idea what is happening but I just couldn’t keep my heart in control.
Whenever I see him my heart starts beating loud making me uneasy. Whenever I feel that way I can’t even keep a straight face. My face started burning. My heart started racing and my feet wanted to dance as well but all of this kept happening at the same time which almost made me go crazy."
"I know dad, you must be thinking I’m crazy and I may be crazy but these feelings are completely out of my control. And this is not the first time I feel this way. I have felt the same way when I was in my school before leaving the place but I realised late why I was acting like this." I said looking at my feet.
"You are talking about James?" dad asked.
"No dad it’s not him."
"I know your worry because I was heartbroken because of him but I never got to say that the one who made my heart beat like crazy is none other than his brother Aaron," I said.
"Aaron?"
``You are talking about the guy who brought you to the hospital?" he said, making me wonder which time he was talking about.
"Hospital?" I asked while he looked away.
"Dad, tell me what are you saying? You don’t know just how much I need those answers", I asked while my eyes were filled with tears.
"I know you don’t remember the time but the first time you were on the verge of dying that time he was presented at our place.
When you were going to your room because of those heartbroken memories that time he first came to our home to talk to you. He wanted to give you his note. He wanted to ask how are you but the entire situation was terrifying for all of us to even ask how you are.
But the moment you started falling from stairs and I wasn’t even able to take you to the hospital because I was too scared to see your blood. My legs were trembling. I was dying in a way when he came forward and carried you. The entire time he was with us."
He didn’t say what happened but with the way, he explained Aaron I could feel the warmth behind his feelings.
"Dad, I want to ask more things", I asked.
"What is it?"
"Before I lose my memory did I ever mention the things I just said minutes ago?
Did I ever mention that someone is making my heart beat faster but he is nothing but an empty shell? Something like this?"
I looked at him while he was so lost in thought. I waited for him when he looked at me.
"You never said like this but there was a time when you asked me how it feels to be held by someone?"
As he said, my face turned red.
How could I ever ask something like this to dad?
"Dad, did I really say something like this?" I asked.
"Yeah you did but I knew you were so innocent back then so there is no hidden meaning behind the time but you were so happy so I only said if someone wants to protect you he will sure hold you tightly making you feel warm as well safe. Because that’s what my little girl deserves," he said and stored my head.
"Dad, there is one more thing", I asked again.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Who took me to the hospital when I fell unconscious in the middle of school?" I asked.
"It was Aaron." he didn’t even think.
"The moment I got a call from your school I panicked and ran to see you. That’s when I saw him standing behind the room while he was sweating a lot. That’s the time I realised he joined the new school too." as he said it hit my mind.
"Wait a minute!!"
"How could I forget!!!"
"What?" dad asked.
"I didn’t know that both people were the same", I said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Dad what I’m trying to say is till now I had no idea that the feeling I have been feeling from Aaron was the same as my old school. No one told me that he changed schools and he was in my old school.
But just now you said he was the one who came to me before the accident so my guess was right. He is the same person. He is the person I was thinking of."
"Ayla, I don’t understand what you are saying", dad said but I couldn’t even cope with my smile anymore.
"You won’t understand dad because your daughter sure has lost her mind", I kept on smiling.
But somehow I again turned to dad and said, "Dad, so you know Aaron so could you please find him."
"Could you please tell me where he is now?"
"Could you tell me his whereabouts?"
"I have been going nuts thinking about all things but somehow I think that the Aaron I met in my childhood and the Xenon I’m with now are the same but don’t know how. So could you please try to figure it out?"
"Please!!"
"Please!!"
Please!!"
He patted my head and nodded in approval.
He didn’t ask me anything. He knows I’m crazy in love but the smile he gave me in approval made me assured that even if there is no one beside me this person will stand by my side to support me till the end.
"Thank you for being with me dad."
"I’m really grateful to have you."
He again patted my head while I quickly picked up my phone as soon as I heard a ring.
"Xen", It was him.
"Yeah baby", this must be the first time he called me baby with his husky voice.
"What has gotten into you?" I asked.
"Maybe just seeing you make me keep falling for you even more than usual", my face flushed but seeing dad beside me I ran to my room.
"Hey, I was with dad. How could you be so romantic in a situation like this?" I whispered.
"Why can’t I when you just left me to hang in the middle of the road while my pants were so freakin tight with the thought of me being inside you." my legs gave up.
This guy has lost it.
