Aryan would be definitely lying if he didn't accept that he was scared at the moment, scared like no time before, scared that Kaya was gone.
He had searched the entire house, he had called all people whom she could possibly visit, he had asked Linda all questions that might give him a clue of where she was but to no avail. It was almost one at night and he had no idea where she was.
Kaya was gone and gone for so long now that it wracked Aryan's nerves completely. For the very first time he was experiencing his anxiety escape the rein of his mind and penetrate into his soul, for the first time he was experiencing what he had witnessed Kaya go through, for the first time he was watching his legs uncontrollably tap against the floor as he waited for his men to inform him about Kaya.
The tension crawling down to every corner of his body, made him worry about her a little more. "How could you not know Linda?" He screamed at her yet another time. "How could you let her go alone?" The question killed him; it reminded him of the mental state Kaya has been in over past days. It made him realise how dangerous it was to not be w/ her right now.
He stood up in revolt as pictures of her innocent face floated before his eyes along with the cuts and blood stains on her bandage. Plus the fact that meida could hassle her if she was alone made Aryan super restless. He wanted to do something to be with her but he did not know what.
Love was hard, and loving Kaya harder. It ruined Aryan up-down, inside-outside. It was a tragedy, but Aryan was helpless, he loved her quite madly. Kaya was indeed his salvation and his damnation.
He picked up his phone and dialed her number again. It rang and he couldn't be more glad. "Pick up uh, pick up." His fingers knocked his phone cover as he waited for her to answer. But she did not.
Aryan hit his hand against the table, calling her one more time. "Where the fuck are you????" He yelled the moment he heard the ring stop and muffled sounds take its place.
Kaya instantly grimaced at the tone. "Where you are not!!" She simply put forth.
Aryan relaxed, catching his breath on hearing her voice. She sounded fine, perhaps a bit tipsy but fine.
"Can't you stop disobeying me Kaya hn??" Aryan asked her. He genuinely couldn't put in words how anxious her absence had made him feel.
"Disobey you Aryan??????" She pondered. "I'm a person in my own, I have the right to do things in my capacity."
"Yes, but you could do that with my men around too, and it would be safer??" He told her, quickly grabbing the keys of his car. He wanted to catch her as soon as possible.
"Your men." She bitterly chuckled. "It's always them, not you keeping me safe."
"Don't you prefer not having me around??" He wasn't kidding when he questioned that. Kaya fell quiet. And her silence suffocated him. He loathed how she always made him beg her for love.
"I know you would have fought me to be with me if you still loved me hn?" Kaya accused him instead. It wasn't entirely a lie.
Kaya was disappointed that he left her alone too often all this long no matter how much she wanted him to stay away. While, Aryan, on the othe side felt compelled to leave her alone, seeing her repel him to a degree he couldn't tolerate.
Aryan felt guilty hearing her. He wondered if he really gave up on her too soon??? That she was this upset and mad because he had not been there for her enough??? But did not she sprew hate on him all the time as if he was that one thing she couldn't bear the sight of? That one person who had destroyed her world?
