Chapter 75: 75

My patience has been running out since the moment I saw her. I never thought I would have the same crazy feelings which I had years ago to drop her but now these feelings keep on running down my spine telling me to get her.

"Go get her. She will run away again if you don’t."

"Go tie her up."

As if someone keeps whispering in my ears making me go insane.

Still, I wanted for her to open the door on her own but she didn’t. I counted numbers still she didn’t budge but I had to try breaking the door. I pushed the door with as much strength as I had and broke in but I found none on the bed but I could hear her crying noises from a corner.

"Ayla?"

I slowly walked near her calling her name but I could hear two more crying voices coming from the left corner.

"Ayla" I called her name again when I finally got to see her face which was completely covered in her hair. I started moving forward but the same little boy I saw a long time ago stopped my way.

"Dwont hwrt Aunt", he said making me stop.

"I dwont want her to cry ’’, he said while himself crying out loud and scared as well.

I slowly came closer to him and said, "I’m not here to hurt him. I love your aunt. I love her more than anyone so if you let me talk to her she will stop crying."

"Shwe won’t cry rwaight?" he asked.

"Yeah she won’t", I kissed his forehead while he let me go closer to her.

I again called her name slowly so that she would come to sense and see me for who I am.

"Ayla, Baby look at me", I called but she didn’t raise her head.

"Baby", I called again but I saw a child coming out of the corner as if she was trying so hard to hide her not herself.

What’s going on?

I wasn’t able to think much for a while until I felt James’s presence behind me.

"What the hell?" he looked even more shocked than me as if I was missing something.

"Female Aaron", he said, making me gasp.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"You idiot!! Just look at her. She has the same face as you. She has the same hair colour which is black while she has big eyes which are sometimes terrifying as well." he said while I finally focused on her when I realised I may not focus on my features because I can only see them in the mirror but people need me sure can.

So is she?

I tried to get closer to her trying to touch her when she slapped my hand.

"Did you take permission to touch me?" she said just like a grown-up person.

"Permission?"

"Yes, permission. If you need to touch Ayla, you need Ayla’s permission as well", she said, making me confused.

"Ayla? But I’m touching you right?" I keep getting confused.

"Ahh, just how many times do I have to say? It’s me. Ayla is me. I’m little Ayla. Did you get it?"

"Why are grown-ups so weird? Can’t two people have one name? So weird", she kept mumbling to herself when Ayla looked at me.

I again tried to go near her but little Ayla stopped me.

"You need my permission to go near her too", she glared at me, making me flinch.

Just what on earth is happening? Why does she have such a similar attitude as if I’m so used to that? Why is she looking at me like this as if those are mine?

I was still trying to figure it out when I heard a giggle.

I turned back.

"James, it wasn’t funny", I said.

"It isn’t fun for you but it sure is funny just how a kid makes you flinch. Now you should be aware of how it makes people feel when you glare, making their soul shiver. Don’t you realise it till now?" he said, making me realise yeah I do behave the same.

Just what on earth she is.

"Little Ayla, Who are you?" I asked.

"Me?"

"Yeah who are you?"

"I’m the daughter of my mom", she said.

"Your mom?"

"Yes, Ayla White is my mom", as she said my feet walked backwards.

Daughter? Ayla’s? How? When did this happen?

My head is not processing.

I was about to ask again when Ayla stood up and carried her in her arm and started walking out of the room. He stopped near Josh the little boy as well and carried him.

"I will leave this place now", she said, making me even more scared than before.

"Ayla"

"Ayla"

"Ayla"

"Wait!!"

I continued asking her until my fingertips touched her shoulder but my hand again got slapped by Little Ayla.

"Didn’t I say you need my permission?" she said again in meanwhile Ayla too stopped.

She let both the kids walk on the floor.

"Tell me what I need to do to touch her!!!" I asked.

"Tell me!! Who are you?" she asked.

"I’m Aaron King."

"What’s your relationship with my mom", she asked.

"Relationship?"

"Yeah relationship", she asked while I stayed silent.

The entire place was silent until Ayla spoke.

"Dad, why did you lie?"

"Was it fun?"

"Ayla, I didn’t me-

"You mean it, dad. I don’t know why you lied to me so that I could return but you forget my pain which I have been through for years. I don’t know how you forget or what makes you so melt when you see me locked myself for a whole month.

But let me again ask why did you do this to me. Why?"

No one answered as well as I.

"Ayla, is she Aaron’s daughter?" James asked, making me come to my senses.

Yeah, how did I not even come to think of this?

"Shut your freaking mouth. She is no one but mine. If you look at my Ayla again I will make you freaking blind and I swear on that." she glared.

"She is mine?" I asked.

"Didn’t I say she is no one? Can’t you hear me Mr Aaron King?" her voice went cold as if I was in the middle of ice blocks and it kept on freezing me.

"But she is mine", I spoke again somehow.

"I said she is no one. Can’t you freaking hear me?" she screamed, making me unable to feel my ear for a while. This was the first time she screamed like this ever.

"Ayla, hear me!! Let me explain!!" I begged.

"So is this how you melt dad? Does his begging make you melt? Ok if this is how this play is going to work then I can do the same", she said and walked toward Mr White.

She kneels in front of him touching his bare feet while her tears keep falling on the floor.

"Dad, I beg you. Don’t do this to me. You know my side right? If you know, please let me go. I can’t leave without my Ayla. My Ayla is my life. If anyone takes my Ayla away there won’t be any hope for me to leave", she kept on crying while I was standing near the scene like a block of wood.

I wanted to go near her and hold but Little Ayla came to me, hitting my legs.

"Why are you making mom cry?"

"Why?"

"She was so happy till now, why do you have to come and ruin her happiness."

"Go away!!"

"Let my mom be happy."

"I don’t want mom to cry."

"Shoo shoo."

"You all are bad. Only Kylie and Jennifer Aunt were good."

"They never once made mom cry. They always made her smile unlike you all. We both leave from here. I don’t want to stay here. Let my mom go. Let us go." she was crying while hitting my leg but I couldn’t let them go again.

I could never let my Ayla go anywhere.

I want to be with my daughter as well.

I could never let it end.

Never.

"Mom, let us return", she tugged on Ayla while she stood up and carried her.

"Yeah let’s return home", she said and walked toward upstairs but I felt something was off. Her steps were not placed on the stairs properly until I saw Jace screaming her name.

"Ayla, don’t do it!! It is risky", he said and was about to run toward her when I caught them from falling.

Ayla’s eyes are looking unconscious making me scared, her breath became slower.

"Mom"

"Mom"

"Mom, answer me!!"

"Mommy!!!"

I brought her to the living room and placed her on the couch while her hand was still tugging on my suit making me sit beside her.

"Why is she like this?"

"Why is she breathing so slow?"

I’m getting scared.

"Don’t sit beside my mom!!"

"You bad uncle!!"

"Leave her alone!!"
