YOU COMPLETE ME

TRUTH

Aryan's POV:-

I stayed awake the whole night watching her, she had trouble sleeping . Sometimes in the middle she would mumble incoherently for me to not leave her. I would just entwine our fingers and hold her tight against myself. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find her in the house safe and sound. Just like her , I too am afraid to lose her , maybe more than her. I've already lost my Ma and Dad.
Losing her would just kill me .

Around nine in the morning I went to the kitchen to bring food for her . I very well know she hasn't eaten a single bite since yesterday . Opening the door I set the tray on the table and moved to the bed to wake her up. Slowly leaning down to her sleeping form I kissed her eyelids and she snapped open her eyes. Brown eyes glancing at me.
" Morning." I said and made her sit comfortably on the bed.
" How are you feeling now ?"

" I am OK ." She lowly muttered.

"I've brought food." I said hoping it would brighten up her mood but even food wasn't able to do it's magic.
I pulled the tray and held it out for her , she didn't wait for me to feed her.
Guess I deserve it after what I did last night.
She took a bath after she finished eating and I waited for her . She came after few minutes .

" Jhanvi I need to tell you something ."

Jhanvi's POV :-

I saw him nervous for the first time ever. Aryan Malhotra being nervous was practically not possible. I just stood in front of him looking into his eyes.
" Look , Aryan , you need to tell me what exactly happened . " I sternly told him. I needed answers from him.

" Yes , it's just that I never thought I will have to tell you this ."

" I'll count till five and you start speaking."

" OK, why don't we sit and talk." I just shook my head in agreement.

He looked upwards closing his eyes and drawing in a breath as if summoning strength to speak.

" It all started when I was twelve years old. We all were a happy family , Ma , Dad, Bade papa , badi maa and dadi ." He means Navin too and he has a wife .
" My mother was pregnant , I was going to have a sibling too , whom I could play with , ride bicycle with. Everything was fine until one day , my mother was in the kitchen and I followed her like always . She wanted to eat chocolates and so did I , but I did not know what was about to happen." He gulped and I instantly reached out to hold his hand which is balled into a fist.
He looked at me with a sad smile and continued, " She got this terrible pain in her stomach , it made her unable to stand and she collapsed on the floor , everyone came rushing to her . They took her to the hospital, the whole time little me was afraid for my mother , afraid for my baby brother or sister. A day later they said that it was due to some poison in her body and the baby didn't make it . I lost my baby brother that day. And a part of my Mum was gone too. She used to sit alone and stare in the sky. I never understood back then why she was like that . And I was getting angry because my mother had stopped taking care of me. She had stopped looking at me . Dadi or Badi maa used to take care of me , take me to school. So I asked Badi maa that what should I do to make Mum see that I am here. She told me that she'd hide me in the cupboard and then Mum will come looking for me. I did exactly what she told. I just wanted my mother back. I wanted her to love me as she loved me before. I was hiding in the cupboard in my room and then everyone at home realised I went missing . They started looking for me and found me. My mom was crying so much that day . And I told her everything that Badi maa asked me to do. I promised her I would never do such things again because I can't see her crying. " There is so much pain in his voice. And what kind of a woman is Navin's wife. Who does that to a small child.
" Aryan , you don't have to tell me , you know.." he just shushed me.
" I need to get this off my chest."
