Chapter 9

The exit door was crowed with people. So he led me forcefully into the bunch of people . But suddenly I felt something , his loosened grip on my hand .

I thought it to be the best opportunity to run for my life but a thought inside me said ' he is so strong he will catch you ' . I refused that thought and looked at him for any sign of distraction , so that my work could be easily done .

I looked at him through my lashes to only see a glimpse of him . What I saw , it looked like he was feeling dizziness and was going to fall down . ' This was the best time ' I slipped my hand from his and made my way through the people .

When I was almost out the mall , I felt a strong push on me , so much so that I ended up on the ground of a closed door named ' emergency exit '.

Edward ' s POV

When I saw Akril , I knew that I can't be seen by him . So in order to hide from him I wore a cap and a fake moustache , which I keep in handy .

I saw them move towards the exit door which was a lot crowded . That was the plus point for the plan I had in mind . I took out my ' special gun ' which was used for making people unconscious.

I aimed it on Akirl's neck . I pressed the trigger firmly and the magic dart ' got to its target ' . I saw Akirl loosing his balance , but then also he was trying so hard to walk straight .

I saw Akira making her way towards the exit after freeing her hand . ' No....no she can't go out , maybe someone is with him too . I can't risk that' . I started to follow her , till I was almost near her I saw a door named ' emergency exit ' . There was indeed a emergency now so that means we can use this.

I went close to her and pushed her into it , so that we were both inside it.

Akira's POV

I fell on the ground straight with a little bit of scratch on my palm . When I looked up , I saw Edward . I couldn't believe my eyes , I was so happy .

I went towards him and took him in a embarrassing hug , though he didn't respond at first but then , he put his hands awkwardly over me . 'But then also it felt so good , he indeed was rock solid' .

" Look we have to get out of here , before something happens " he said out of the blue . He didn't try to get out the embrace .

After a few more blissful seconds I realised " What do you mean , whats going to happen ? " I looked shockingly at him , he loosened his hands from me which gave me a hint that I should as well ' get out of it '.

" I heard your talk with that guy and what he is planning to do with you , so I am thinking its not the best of the time to STAY HERE " he said with sarcasm and took my hand to lead the way .

I shrugged his hand off me , in defence " You were just standing there looking at him why didn't you do something " I screamed at him angrily with tears in my eyes . I backed up a little and unknowingly tipped a little , he in time took me in a embrace again , it felt so nice untill I couldn't feel anything nor see .

Edward's POV

When I saw her , I knew that she wasn't fine at all . She took me by surprise , by her awkward hug which felt so soothing . I tightened my grip on her , so that she could know I was there for real.

But then a realisation hit me , I should just leave her ' it feels awkward ' .

When I talked about the incident , I saw her becoming hysteric . So I took her in a embrace again , so that she doesn't loose her control and in the mean time I injected her .

Akira's POV

I didn't know where I was , how did I get here ? . There were so many questions in my head , but my head felt too heavy to register anything even I couldn't open my eyes .

" Well its not a problem " Edward said . How can I hear this and not see , maybe I have lost my eyesight . Who is he talking to anyway.

" Oh , thank you so much . Akira is so dear to us and you brought her safely home after she fainted . We are so in debt of you . Ella told me a lot about you . Come have dinner with us we would love your company " said Aunty Romana .

Now I understand the whole situation first I am at home which is a relief second Edward got me back home third I fainted , now everything falls in place . But one think is not in place that is aunty , ' she is behaving too nice for her own taste ' that's something weird.

" You should go home now , its late . We will take care of her " said uncle angrily . I dont think uncle likes him , so that means atleast ' someone doesn't like him ' .

" No sir , I am fine . I will not go untill she gains consciousness . Aunty thanks for the invitation but I can't have dinner with you , maybe next time " said Edward firmly .

" As you like it boy , lets go and have dinner Romana " . Now its quite evident uncle is pissed with him .

It has like forever since I have been lying here , why can't I see something . Its so frustrating .

" Is she ok " asked Ella . " She is fine , I think " he said reassuring her .

" Akira , please get up . You are really freaking me out ....I know that you can hear me . Please try and get up " Ella said while shaking me vigorously.

This time when I tried , my eyelids understood the command and opened up . At first everything seemed blurred but after I rubbed my eyes I could see more vivdly .

" Where am I ? " I asked while straightening my spine ." You are at home and in my room . And before you ask me why , the answer is your bed was very small and uncomfortable for both of us. And I wanted to sleep with you , thats why you are here .Now you have got all your answers " she said sarcastically .

" Oh ....now I recognise " I rubbed my eyes again . " I don't understand why you are getting ready , that too at this time " .

" You dumbo , you forgot today is our farewell and my lovely Edward would be there too , so I have to look perfect . That's why I am getting ready slowly , which means I would need more time " she signed and then continued while putting eyeliner . This girl surely loves makeup . " He waited for almost four hours for you to be conscious . But then I assured him , that I will take care of you . Only then did he leave . He is such a nice guy right ?"

" Yes he is " I signed " he is a keeper " . Oh my I said this out aloud .I shouldn't have , I don't think Ella noticed . Thats such a relief , but this thing cannot happen again . From next time on I have to check the words that come out of THIS mouth.

" Shouldn't you be getting ready as well " she looked at me seriously " Hurry up , you lazy ass " .

" Yup I am going . Are you trying to throw me out of your room , if its a yes then your plan is definitely working " I said jokingly . I slowly got up from the bed , but still I could not stand without any support.

" NO , I am not throwing you out , I just want you to get ready fast " . She turned towards me and came to my rescue. " Are you feeling alright ? " . I nooded in approval . But she sensed it anyway " No you are not " she almost shouted . " Have this orange juice and this tablet , you will feel better " she commanded me .

" What is this tablet for ? " I asked . " Edward told me to give it to you as soon as you wake up and he also said something about it which I don't remember . The conclusion is that ' it will make you feel better ' " .

I had the tablet with the orange juice . The juice felt so refreshing as if all my internal organs have got there fuel . " I should head to my room . To get ready " I informed her .

" No , you are not going anywhere , you stay right here . Tell me whatever you want from your room , I will bring it for you " she said with a straight face , that means no space for negotiation.

" Ok fine " I said disapprovingly. I gave her the whole list of things which I wanted . She looked at it shockingly " That's it " . I chuckled at her expression. " I will go and get it for you " .

After having a bath and change of clothes . I felt so light , but my head still felt a little heavy . Which a ignored.

" Do I look good ?" she asked me for the tenth time . " Yes you look awesome " I said and rolled my eyes at her .

" Tell me , would Edward like me in this " her face saddened a little so I went closer to her " He will like you , if ....." I didn't finish my sentence . " IF what ? " she asked curiously.

" If ....if ..." I again did the same thing , my plan was working she was distracted . " Tell me or I will kill you " she got hold of my neck " Leave me otherwise this secret , you will never know " I laughed at me own joke but Ella was still holding my neck " Okay .....okay I will tell you . First you have to leave my neck . Before you listen to my reply and you kill me for real " .

She left my neck alone and I cleared my throat to check if it worked the same way . " I will start from the beginning . If you want Edward to like you then , you should wear atleast something over this tiny shirt of yours " I said with straight face.

" Why should I , if I do that then my beauty will get hidden by the shirt " she said while adjusting her tiny top . " No , he will not like you in this " I pointed at her shirt " You should dress decently , leave at least something for imagination then he will like you . Trust me on this , only once " .

" Ok , I will . But for the first and last time " she rolled her eyes at me " But I don't have any shirt like the one you described ".

" Fine I will give you one of mine . Just for today " I said and went to my room to get her one of my shirt .
