The Last December

Chapter 13

Old Friends
Adeline
Six long months of being married to each other.
Six long months of being in the same place with him.
Six long months of creating chaos in his life.
Six long months have passed.
I don't know how quickly it went. But it was fast.
For six months i have been rebelling against Ali.
Since that moment in the office , i have been keeping my distance from him as much as possible.
Because all i know is I can't melt in his arms. Not again.
I keep annoying him every chance i get. Its like the only task I'm interested in.
Also this Khan mansion holds more than thousands of secret i ever imagined. Obviously im tryna find it out.
Everything is so weird here. Nobody even talks about Aunt Marina. She was a beautiful woman.
She used to love me alot back then.
Her features were so gorgeous. She was descended of an Indian family and Uncle zayn is from Arabic family. They both looked so good together. But now nobody even talks about her. I dont even know how exactly she died.
When i asked my dad he said she was murdered and the killer was never found.
The power Uncle Zayn holds its so surprising to know he couldn't find the killer in all those years.
Anyways i have gotten ready to go for some shopping. My blue hairs falls open. I have worn a simple black top and blue wide legs. Some jewellery. And my Bag.
I reach the Chanel store. I wanted the bag i ve been looking for a while. When i enter the store. I go through the bag i want. Everything is so classy and pretty, but what my eyes have caught this rich dark blue bag, the colour blue has always been my favourite. I love everything thats blue. Even my black hairs are now always a shade of blue. And because i like everything blue, ali calls me his blue. I don't like the term "his" because he doesn't own me. But i liked being called blue.
The staff packs my bag while i wait and go through the store.

A hand grabs my wrist all of a sudden and when i turn around, i find a similar looking face, he looks as if he's seen the ghost. And i look at him as if its my last day on earth, because it is none other that Asher. Asher benjamin. Alex's best friend. Beside him stand a tall women with beautiful features. And as far as my information she's Asher's wife Miley. "This can't be true" is what asher says. He's still holding my wrist, we are facing each other and I'm honestly frozen at my place.
"Are you seriously Adeline Or am i seeing her doppelgänger" he asks me. And then he turns his face to his wife and ask her "is doppelgänger thing even real" she smiles.
"I'm Adeline" is what i say. He leaves my wrist. He looks at me from up to down.
"What the fuck" he screams.
"Hey, shh can we go outside and talk" i ask him, because creating a scene in a chanel store is last in my list.
"No what the fuck you think, outside, come on say how are you even fucking alive Adeline" he screams again.
"Shut the fuck up asher, i said lets go out I don't want a scandal" i look him with anger.
"Fine" he says.
I ask the the staff to deliver the bag at my place and we leave for the nearby cafe.
We reach to the cafe and settle down.
"So ghost tell me how come you are alive" asher asks me. I can feel pure hate in his sentence.
"Uh-huh it's complicated" i say. Im too nervous.
"What the fuck Adeline, my man alex suffered for 10 years because of you and all you have got to say is it's complicated?" Asher punches his fist on the table.
I can understand his anger, towards me. I know alex must have been through alot because of me. But its not my fault, i lost my memories.
I explain the entire situation to Asher. He cools down a little bit after knowing the situation and then his gaze turns down to my ring finger.
"So are you married now?" He asks while he raises his eyebrows.
"Yea its an arranged marriage" i break the sentence and then continue " i got married 6 months ago with my friend, because of my father, its more like a business marriage then actual" i take a sip from my coffee.
"So now what" its miley now who ask the question. She was quite all the time.
"I want you to keep it a secret. Nobody in state knows i'm alive, i go by the Glyndon not Adeline anymore" i say.
"Yea you look alot different, if I haven't seen you everyday for 10 fucking years i bet I wouldn't have recognised you. Now don't ask why i saw u for 10 years. Bcoz Alex kept his pictures in your room" Asher says.
I feel like a knife stabbed in my heart. Only if i have gotten my memories a little early, I would have gone back to Alex and everything would have been alright.
But now everything is vanished. Alex is gone for ever. Ali is my present. And i will make sure he isn't my future.
"Okay fine i wont say anything to Alex, because honestly I don't want his happy life to be interrupted." Asher says.
"Thank you Asher. I may leave now. Goodbye" i stand up from my seat and leave without looking back.
It was more than too much for me. I can't take this. My heart hurts. I feel so down and low that I can't tell. And all i want now is some peace. Which I probably can't get till Ali's in my life.
I reach home and move straight towards my room.
When I open the door, i see Ali's sitting on my bed. Looking straight into my eyes.
"Where have you been little blue" he ask.
"I went to shopping" i say.
"Then where's you stuff" he asks
"It will be delivered" I finish my sentence and move towards the bathroom because I don't want to face him, not right now.
"Come here blue, i know from where you are coming and we need to talk"
I look back, he stands and come closer.
"I know you met Asher, most probably he knows everything now and that is not a good news"
"I know but its not like my fault he saw me. Also i told him that he needs to keep his mouth shut."
"Or should i shut him up for life"
"What" i ask.
"What i mean to say is, you are Adeline not allowed to meet any of these people again. I'm very serious"
"I know its not like i purposely met him"
Ali comes closer. His face inches away from me.
i can feel his hot breathe.
"Good blue, first time you agree on something with me" he kisses my forehead and then he leaves.
Just like that he leaves. Everytime he say something and then he kisses my cheeks or forehead and then he leaves.
All i'm is left alone.
