The forgotten one

Training?

AUTHOR'S POV

Aarav and the others rushed towards the room and saw Ahaan trying to calm Alaina down. She laid her head on Ahaan's chest while he caressed her head from one hand and his another hand held hers.

"Baby please calm down. Breathe in and out in and out..." he said and she followed she calmed down.

"I'm scared" she said her voice small and vulnerable. Aarav went and sat beside her on the bed and pulled her to home and hugged her

"I won't let him come near you. Nothing will happen to you I promise." He said "I know you don't trust us but please trust me on this one" he added and she nodded

"Do you want to go back sleep?" he questioned and she shook her head indicating a no.

"Hmm then what do you want to do" Aarav questioned but she just shrugged.

"Do you want to maybe watch movie or a series" asked Arhaan and she nodded.

"Okay then I'll go get my laptop" he said. He quickly got his laptop and put it on the bed. Ahaan and him then settled on the bed.

"I have some work but Ahaan and Arhaan will be with. Call me if you need anything" and she just nodded

ARHAAN'S POV

"What do you want to watch?" Questioned Ahaan and she just shrugged

"How about manifest?" He suggested and nodded her head indicating a yes

She is so mentally disturbed right now. I know because I can feel it. She looks vulnerable. She is just not in her senses right now to the point where she is not even talking and just responding by either nodding or shaking her head. Like this is not her.

She is a sassy and bold person who takes shit from no one but now she is not even in the right mindset to talk and it's indirectly our fault. If we would have protected her rather than ignoring her, we wouldn't have been in this situation right now.

Well anyone would be traumatised if they see people dying and hear gun shots. It's normal for us but not her and I don't think that I want it to be normal for. I don't want to drag her to this world of darkness but some fucker already had the audacity to drag her into this shit.

I was broken from my chain of thoughts by Alaina's small voice

"Water" she said. I nodded and handed her the water bottle. She took it drank some water but then suddenly started coughing. I think she chocked on water.

"Look up" I said while rubbing her back. She looked up and within one to two mins, she almost stopped coughing. She looked down and saw tears in her eyes. Fuck I have never seen her cry this much. I then hugged her and rubbed her back. Ahaan soon joined the hug and kissed her forehead.

"It's all gonna be okay" he said as we broke off the hug.

"Now no more crying and let's concentrate on the series" I said and she nodded

ALAINA'S POV

I don't why but I was crying so much for the first time in my life. I did not cry when they treated me so bad, I did cry this much when Ronit left but now I feel like everything I have bottled up since years in coming out. I just can't now. I'm done with everything. I'm tired of life. No I'm exhausted of life.

I had a nightmare about the attack at the house and I saw that some masked guy took me and did bad stuff to me, then tortured me and sold me off to another creepy masked man. It was horrific. I can't image going through something like that.

But soon I was woken up by Ahaan and Arhaan. They all are trying hard to comfort me. As much as I don't want their comfort, I don't have the energy or the will to argue with them. Forget arguing, I don't even want to talk right now.

(1 hour later)

Da...sorry father came inside the room and sat on the bed beside Arhaan

"Are you okay?" He questioned and I nodded

"Where are we going?" I questioned not wanting to talk but curiosity gets the best out of me.

"Back to our home" he said. His home not mine but I don't want to argue so okay.

"Alaina" he said and I looked at him and hummed

"I want you to undergo basic training on how to defend yourself and on how to use a gun" he said. He Berger be joking. I start panting like dog on climbing to the first floor to my bedroom and he wants me to learn how punch and stuff. And a freaking gun!!!! Is he trying to traumatised me more?

I just looked back at the laptop clearly showing my disinterested in taking right now. He just sighed and said

"We will talk about this at home. And I know you're not in the mood or state to talk right now so we will talk when you want to but that does not mean that you can talk me out of the training thing. You have to understand that it's important for your safety."

I just looked away again clearly showing him that his huge ass paragraph is pointless and if the talk depends on me, then it will never happen.

Why does he even want to talk if he just said that I can't talk him out of the training part. Well too bad I'm not undergoing any such nonsense training shit. And I'll definitely give him a tough fight and a huge tantrum about it so he just gives up.

"The flight is gonna land" said the Aaryan coming into the room. We all then went and sat on the recliner and put our seatbelt on.

Soon the flight landed and I stepped out off the jet. Oh finally back to Bombay.
