Chapter 63: 63

Aaron POV

I woke up from a deep sleep. I don’t know how long I was sleeping but my entire body is watching.

I touched my body but there was not a single mark on my body. Everything vanished like a miracle. But the sad marks the scenario left me I could never erase. It still haunts me in my dreams.

"Aaron, you woke up?" I heard a voice.

"Chloe, you are here again?" I asked.

"Of course, how could I not come?" she said and placed a bucket of water on the table beside my bed.

"Still you don’t need to come here anymore. It’s enough whatever you are doing for me. I’m already grateful for whatever you are doing so you need to stop", I said.

She was about to say something when I saw grandfather standing near the door.

"Aaron", he called out my name.

"Yes?"

"Why are you chasing her away?"

"She has been coming here for the last six months and taking care of you", as he said I clenched my fist.

"I know it is not her fault but shouldn’t you repay the favour she did for you."

"You have been sleeping for so long and she did feed you. She helped you wipe the sweat off your body so you should be with this girl and make her happy as well", as he said I felt a burden on my shoulder.

"By the way, where is my phone?" I asked.

I don’t know where I dropped it but it’s not with me.

I have been asking for my phone since the moment I woke up but no one gave me.

"Your phone was completely broken so I bought you a new phone."

"There is no contact from your old phone but just me and Chloe", as he said I felt the urge to get up.

Yeah, it has been six months. Ayla must have contacted me at this time. she must have tried so long but would have got worried when I didn’t receive it. No no, I have to go. She even said there is a surprise for me to say and I too have to say I know her. She is the Ayla I was searching for for years.

"I have to go", I said while I hurried and got up from bed but my leg gave up making me fall on the floor.

"Aaron, what are you doing?" Chloe came to me and supported me.

"I told you right? You are not healed so stay in bed. You can’t even walk properly so stay here and tell me what you want to do and I will do it", she said but how should I do it?

How should I say I need to meet Ayla?

How should I say I need to go and say I remember her at any cost?

But grandfather’s eyes kept on piercing me through his looks.

"Aaron first heals yourself then I will agree whatever you say", he said and left the room.

I don’t know what is going on inside his head. Why did he say he will let me do whatever I want when I heal? Does it mean he approved of me being with her?

Did he?

I didn’t argue any further but stayed in bed while Chloe wiped me with cold water.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

She looked at me.

"Chloe, I’m asking you something", I asked again.

"What do you want me to say?" she asked.

"Why are you doing this? When should you be with him?" I asked when her hand stopped.

"He doesn’t deserve this treatment", she said while I could see she was clenching the cloth tightly.

"He does deserve it", I said.

"What are you saying? He made you this situation", she said.

"He didn’t do this to me."

"He never did anything like this to me but always got hit by me", I said.

"Don’t defend him!!"

"I’m not defending him but saying what I’m saying."

"Dad hit me because the bodyguard he appointed for him told him about our previous accident. I hit him in the middle of public and he stopped me. And then of course he would think it’s all my fault this time too when he saw me there", I said.

"No, it’s not... Stop defending." she again said.

"Ok where is she now?" I asked.

"I don’t know", she replied.

"I know you know so say it", I asked again.

"He left with his father", she said.

So he is ok. I’m glad. But now the issue is with Ayla. Where is she? If the phone didn’t connect to them , why didn’t she come here? Why didn’t she come here?

My anxiety level kept on going high which made me ask.

"Did anyone come to meet me while I was unconscious?"

As I asked she thought for a while and said, "no there is none."

But my heart kept on thumping loudly, making me anxious.

No no I have to go or I may lose her. No, I can’t stay here. I know grandfather said I can go when I healed but now I cant keep myself. My fingertips shivering like crazy.

"Aaron, what’s happening with you?"

"Should I call the doctor?"

"Wait, I will give you your medication, maybe you are behaving like this because it is delayed", she said and was about to go when I held her.

"Stop!!!"

"Aaron!!"

"I have to go!!!"

I tried to get up.

"Aaron, you can’t go", she said.

"Dont", I said while she was still hiding my hand.

"Don’t make me say hurtful words to you", I said but she still didn’t let me go.

"No I can’t let you go!!!’’ She kept on holding me.

"Ok you are asking this on your own", I said.

"Why see you doing this to me Chloe?"

"You know it’s not your only burden right?"

She stayed silent.

"Then why? Is it because you want to take revenge from James? Is that right?" I asked when she let go of my hand.

"Do you want him to show we are together so that he can feel what he has lost?"

"It’s what you have in your mind right?"

"Tell me Chloe!!!" I shouted.

"Yeah you are right", she replied.

"I did this", she kept on saying.

"But you know you are ruining my life like this", as I said she took her step back.

"Aaron, what-

"I have someone I like,’’ I said.

"I finally found someone I lost"

"So let me go or I don’t know what might end up doing", I said and ran down the stairs.

"Aaron, where are you running?"grandfather asked me.

"Aaron, wait!! Listen to me!!!" he kept on asking but I didn’t stop but picked up the car key from the table and ran to drive.

I hurried to her place. I know it’s far but somehow some scary feelings linger inside me. I couldn’t stop. Some of my feelings tell me if I don’t go she will vanish for forever.

"Ayla"

"Ayla"

"Ayla"

"Ayla"

I kept on calling her name while I reached her place.

As I stopped I ran inside while I saw Kylie and Jennifer coming out packing their bags.

"Aaron?" they stopped looking at me.

"Where are you both going?" I asked.

"Ah we are returning to our home", they said looking at each other.

"Home? Why?"

"Don’t you know? This was our last semester and it’s finally done", they said and about to cross me when I stopped them.

"Where is Ayla?"

As I asked they stayed silent.

I didn’t ask much but ran to her room. My legs are still shivering. As I opened her room I found nothing. Not a single thing of hers was in the room but it was completely empty.

I again ran downstairs where both of the, still present.

"Where is she?" I asked while I was already out of breath.

"I asked where the fuck is she?" I shouted.

They flinched.

"Aaron", Kylie called my name.

"Yeah, say where is she?"

I’m getting impatient.

"I don’t know where she is but this time we could do nothing", she said.

"What do you mean?"

"I don’t know what happened but there was a time when she drove the car by herself and said she is going to meet you but when she returned we asked what happened but she said nothing. She had no emotions in her face when she was smiling when she left to meet you."

"I don’t know what happened between you two."

"I don’t know why you are only coming now but that day she packed everything and left."

"Sorry, this is all we know." they said and left while I fell on the surface at the same time I saw Chloe coming from the door.

"Aaron, what happened?" she asked but I could sense something was wrong.

"I did ask you right? Did someone come to meet me?"

"Did you lie?"

She stayed silent.

"Answer me!! God dammit!!" I shouted.

"Yeah yeah someone came", as she came my heart broke.

I fucked off.
