Aranya's pov:

I have been waiting for aunty from last 10mins... In the mean while I fell into deep thoughts
' did I overreacted? No I didn't , my priority is Arun at the moment... When did he became soo important to me... Why do he have such a precious place in my heart.. why I'm desperate to know what's bothering him... Most of all what are we??'
As I was finding my answers to these questions, I found none.. I just know that he has become my everything, no don't ask me why .. I just feel like a missing piece in my life which is now completed...

My thoughts broke when nirmala aunty came in..

Author's pov:
(N- nirmala, A- aranya)

N: you didn't sleep yet ,u could have rest a little bit no?
     Nirmala said while settling on the bed.. but aranya was still standing keeping her head low
N: why are you standing come sit..
Pulled her a little and made aranya sit
N: why are you oddly soo silent.. huh?
A: hmm aunty actually...
N: haww.. this is not my aranya.. from when did you become like this huh *while folding hands*
A: *confused* huh?
N: meri aranya don't hide anything in her mind for soo long, does she?
A: actually aunty..
N: if you don't speak anything then let me speak * sternly*
A: about what aunty
N: what do u mean when u said that u thought atleast I cared for him? * Sternness not changing  her voice of a second*
A: *shocked and was taken a back cuz of the voice.. nirmala was always a sweet lady, never loses her cool ..but today her voice seems like  something unreal .. it's like she is furious and angry?* U-u he-ard it
N: I did .. soo what was that for?
A: actually aunty.. * scared?*
N: Oh come on cut the crap and just freaking tell me the reason *shouted*
A: aunty listen.. there's things happening behind ur back and I was trying to figure those things.. and u let her in when I clearly told u to not .. I believed in u that u will not let anyone go in.. and when I got to know she went in , I became a little furious that I can't able to control myself 
N: and what made you to think that huh.. he is my son!.. why are you the one who can control him.. why are soo desperate when it comes to him .. who are you huh.. who do u think you are?.. I know my son * shouted*

A: you say u know him.. haha really.. really aunty.. so let me ask u  do you even know he gets panic attacks.. no u don't.
Ok fine u say he doesn't talk much
Do you know the reason for that, no u don't
Do u know that he is scared to be alone, No u don't
Do u know he is longing for love which he is not asking for, No u don't
What u know about him aunty . Tell me one thing, just one thing that I can believe u wholely with him .. I know u are the one who gave him birth and raised him till date but have u ever asked him how he was and what he wants
No don't think he told me all these things ,  he never opened his mouth saying what he really feels about.. I got to know it myself.. u say who am I .. then listen I don't know what I am to Nhi  but he is my everything, my home, my safe place, MY LOVE
Yes u heard it right he is my love and I'll do anything to keep him safe and loved... He is mine and I'm gonna protect him from all the evil people out there.. no matter it's his own parents

Aranya's pov:

I stopped talking when I heard she was sobbing
I didn't understand what to do.... Why is she crying out of nowhere .. didn't she is the one talking soo different a while ago..

I came out of my world when I heard she started coughing out of crying too much.. i immediately acted up and gave her a glass of water
Soon after she relaxed.. she pulled me into a hug.. which I didn't responded

Why? I'm angry, all she need to do was to be there for him. Ok fine I know I'm acting a bit too much.. I didn't know what she has to tell about this .. so i thought to listen what she got to tell

love!! it's me Where stories live. Discover now
