Out of the Blue

8| Flight and nightmare

Aanya's POV

Last night I didn't get even a wink of sleep. I was busy trying to find a way to contact Kavya's family. They've just vanished in thin air. It feels as if they never existed. I've contacted the police station of her native town, but they said they've no information regarding them.

I was a little late to the airport as I first went to the graveyard to meet mom and then came here. I know me being late definitely pissed Vineet off. Well he was the one who's taking me with him for no reason. I should be in my office working of court files right now.

As soon as we got on the plane, I dozed off. I was too tired from all the work I've been doing from past so many days. Dad has been very non- cooperative all the while I've been handling this very case. For some reason, his behavior feels odd. I've handled many cases before this one, riskier than this one for a fact, but then why is he acting so weird.

This behavior of dad is making me all worried. I somehow made him understand that I'll be fine. Though he didn't look fully convinced, but still smiled for me. I don't know when I dozed off in the flight. All of sudden I started to feel heavy on my head.

Is my brain expanding?!!! No what am I saying...

I opened my eyes and realized that I am sleeping on his shoulder while holding his arm and he had his head placed over mine and both of us were covered with a blanket. I knew this feeling. It's so nostalgic to feel it again after all these years.

I may say I don't want anything to do with him, but deep down my heart knows, how much I've craved for him in all these years. The thought of telling him the truth had crossed many times in my mind, but I never did because the truth was very harsh. I knew he would not take it well.

But what hurt more than that was that he didn't even once try to understand why I did what I did. He never tried to understand my perspective. He knew I loved him the most, but he still chose to crush me into many broken pieces that I don't think can be fixed now.

I kept my head there; on his shoulder coz I knew I would never do this if he was awake. I missed him. Don't want to admit it but yes I missed him a lot in these past years. I cried myself to sleep thinking did he never believe in my love?

A tear slipped from my right eye and I got back to senses. All of sudden, the flashback of that night displayed right Infront of my eyes and I got away from him with a jerk. This woke him up and I looked at him with wide eyes. He was saying something but I couldn't hear anything as that night and that knife was the only thing I could see.

"Breathe Aanya... Aanya!" I was pulled out of my trance with a harsh shake. "Huh.. ?" I looked at him. "You okay?" He looked concerned. For me? Nah it's fake. "Yes I'm okay. You don't have to show your concern for me as I very well know the amount of trust you have in me. You must be thinking I'm acting right? Think whatever you want." I said and pulled out an eye mask and wore it, pulled blanket from him and put it on my face.

I don't want the history to repeat itself.

Vineet's POV

Did she have a bad dream? What the hell was she even saying?

I looked at her dumbfounded when she just babbled that shit and pulled the blanket over her face, ignoring my existence. Now I realize I used to put up with these dramas of her at some point in life.

I sighed and sat properly in my seat. The pilot announced that we are going to land in 5 minutes. I pulled her blanket without looking at her. "What the fuck is your problem?!" She asked. "We're about to land. So if the passenger princess is done with her beauty nap, would her highness please wake up now?" I said in a very sarcastic tone.

As soon as I completed, I heard the person next to me chuckling. I looked at Aanya and she looked..embarrassed....?

Soon enough we landed in Dehradun. We checked into the hotel we would be staying in and decided to take rest for an hour before heading towards kavya's native place.

I got in my room and decided to shower and then take a nap. Just as I was about to unpack my bag, my phone ringed.

"Hello, Vineet Singhal this side." I said and the person on the other side spoke. "I wasn't expecting this call." I said to her. By her I meant Aradhya Raisinghani. "I know right!! Now don't cream your pants" She spoke from the other end. "What do you want?" I asked

"It wasn't an accident; I think I've known it for a while, and I think You've known it too." She spoke

"..."

"What do you want from me?" I asked

"Details" She said. "Alright then I would try for you." I said to her.

"I want every single detail of that day, the driver, the car, everything." She spoke.

"Got it. I would need a little bit of your help and cooperation in this though." I spoke.

"Alright. Where are you?" She asked. "I'm in Dehradun. Just landed." I spoke

"Oh okay. How's Aanya?" She asked out of the blue.

"She.... She's good." I replied. "Only good?" This girl!!

"She's fine ok. Don't you dare tease me now." I said to her in a no-nonsense tone. "Alright chill old man." She said laughing. "Stop laughing and don't ever call me that again." I spoke. "Yeah, we'll see old man. Now bye." She said and cut the call.

I looked at the screen thinking how everything is changed. Life happens. Things don't be in control.

I sighed and went to take a shower.
