Her patience

5. Aarav Oberoi

Author's POV

Aakarsh, he shifted to Arson while talking to Ishika. He has seen her before, in the hospital, on the road and everywhere she went.

He was stalking her for a while now, but only as Arson. Aakarsh didn't even know about this, he only shifted to front of his mind when he was back in his office or home, he knew he was out, but didn't know where. Arson never cooperated with him and his friend, Shivaay knows it and Arson does talk to him at times when he needed something. But Shivaay never tells him what he said, afraid he won't be able take it or do something outrageous.

Arson was dangerous, a total contrast  Akarsh, he destroys Aakarsh's enemies, he was like vicious and fierce protector, who'll do anything to protect himself and the other, personalities, like the kid, Aru, he was like a big brother of him.

Aakarsh was like a rival or a little brother who couldn't do anything for himself or to protect himself, that's why he despise him.

Arson was created when he was hiding in his secret room, that was his safe place, where he could be whatever he wants, no one will see, no one can ever see. The room was filled with his and his friend's childhood pictures, No, not Shivaay.

Aakarsh had a friend when he was still a child, Aarav. He was his best friend, both of them used to hang out with each other, study together, sleep together at times, both of their clothes were in each other's closet too. That was their bond. But he was badass. He was brave and spoke truthfully and confidently, which Aakarsh was always envious of.

Aarav told him to be like this, brave. But Aakarsh has always been a introvert. He was anxious to even talk to someone, let alone being brave to confront anyone. They were opposite, yet it was like they were two bodies and one soul. It was pure friendship, a child's safe place, a secret holder.

Once they were out in a park on a summer noon. There wasn't much people around, they were just minding their own business by playing and fooling around and when they were about to back home and wa in the way to go, Aarav and Aakarsh were kidnapped. Some thugs pulled them into a van, clothing their mouth with a sedative, to make them unconscious.

Both of the kids were rich, Singhania a Oberoi were the leading in business and were the top tycoons of the city.

Aarav as usual of his nature tried to be brave and strong, approached his freedom from the shabby and rusty place, free from the ropes which were binding him and his brother like best friend, away from the place which scared the soul out of his innocent and introvert friend.

He tried to open the rope, easily slipping out of his thin and little hands, he pulled away the tape from his mouth, took some deel breaths. He went to his friend and did the same, but asked him to pretend to be tied still. He was older than Aakarsh by a year. He helped too much for anyone's concern. The once introvert and innocent child was a little braver than before, a little talkative than before, but just a little.

Aarav also pretend like he was also tied still, and screamed for the man outside who was gaurding them. When the man came in, he asked go to pee, the man asked how did he opened the tape from his mouth.

"It slipped off, because of my saliva rubbing of it." He was smart, the man believed him yet was suspicious. His friend admired him for being the best.

When the man turned around to go with him, Aarav quickly grabbed the wood piece, which was sharp and dry and stabbed the man's thigh. The man screamed, but the boy quickly slapped his mouth with the tap to stifle his screams.

By the time the other men came there, Aarav dragged Aakarsh out of the shabby room and hid in another room, when the men passed by there, he ran out of the place quickly. Because of their short legs, they couldn't go far, but they ran to the main road, the men following them from behind.
