Aaron and Aina

Aaron came near Aina and put his hand on her shoulder.

Aina stepped back and the boys took the dead body to the funeral.

Bella hugged Aina.

Bella: Have patience, Aina.

Carla: Don't cry Aina, her soul needs our prayers.

Aina broke the hug immediately.

Aina: Carla?

He saw her head injury and hugged her.

Aina: how are you? Are you alright?

Carla: I'm alright, Aina, just a few minor injuries.

Emma gave water to Aina.

Emma: We are sorry Aina. We planned an event but couldn't protect you.

Aina: Don't say sorry, please. I'm alright. I'm back. But.... Sob.... Mom..... Sob ..... She won't.... She would never... Sob.... Come back..... How ... Sob.... would I .... Sob.... I'll miss her...(tears roll down her cheeks).

Bella's tears also started falling again.

Bella went aside to hide her tears. Emma went behind her.

Emma ( while hugging her): Bella, don't cry. If you'll start crying then who'll handle Aina? Be brave. Everyone has to go. We all have to go one day or the other. We'll pray for her soul together. Have patience.

Bella: I can't control Emma. She was such a nice lady. But you are right. I won't cry now. Aina has become so weak. We will help her heal her wounds.

The boys came back after performing the last rituals in the graveyard.

Aaron saw Aina crying again. He came near her and hugged her.

Aaron: Aina.

Bella's eyes were all red because of crying. Zain also wanted to hug her but couldn't.

David ignored Carla all the time.

Emma is one of the strongest girls who helped Aina and Carla in every possible way. She made soup for both girls and arranged dinner for everyone so that no one starves in this situation. They all lived in Aaron's mansion for tonight.

Aaron made sure Aina eat food and medicines.

After a few days, everyone left their mansion.

Aina: Our home was so full because of mom. Now it isn't the same.

Aaron: Hmmm.

Aina ate her medicine and tried to stand but her foot twisted.

Aaron grabbed her on time: take care.

Aina: ok.

Aina again stood up to go.

Aaron: where are you going?

Aina: going to change.

Aaron: I'll help you.

Aina (smiled): I don't need it.

Aaron (murmured): but I need.

Aina: what? Did you say something?

Aaron: no.

Aina heard it so she smiled.

She wore a sleeveless.

Aaron saw marks of a belt on her bare sleeves and burnt in anger. He stood up to go.

Aina: where are you going at this time? Please don't go. I'm afraid. I would die here alone.

Aaron stopped and came back to her.

Aina hugged him tightly and he let her.

Aina: don't leave me, Aaron, please.

Aaron kissed her forehead: I won't.

Aina: I love you and can't live without you. You are my only family now.

Aaron: say this in front of a friend.

He tried to crack a joke to make her smile and was successful.

Aina (smiled): she is my sister but unfortunately she can't live with me so technically you're my only family.

Aaron: she can live here.

Aina: but she won't.

Aaron: why?

Aina: your friend won't let her live here all her life.

Aaron: I'll make him live here then.

Aina (excitedly): what? Really?

Aaron: yes.

Aina hugged him: love you. Aaron, you are the best hubby in the world. Can't thank God enough. I love love love you.

Aaron: I love my wife.

Aina: by the way, you didn't tell me where were you going?

Aaron: I was going to kill them.

Aina: leave them Aaron, please. I don't want to lose you.

Aaron (angrily): They can't do anything now and please don't ask for their favor. I won't listen.

Aina: ok.

Aaron (kissed her): I can't see you in pain. Every time I see your wounds, it hurts here (he pointed toward his heart).

Aina: you know what I never thought I would get such precious hubby in my life. I never knew a man can be this loving and gentle. And you....I had specifically wrong views about you man. I cursed you the way I did no one.

Aaron: hahaha I know. But I always loved you.

Aina: don't lie, please. You use to hate me to the core, I know.

Aaron: no, I use to adore you.

Aina: yeah you use to adore me right? and you use to express this adoreness through slapping and insulting, right?

Aaron cupped her face: I'm sorry. Believe me, I couldn't control myself watching you. Every time I use to see you, I wanted to tease you. I wanted to slap you. I don't know why I always wanted something from you. Later I realized I'd fallen for you. I never fell for anyone so I didn't know.

Aina: I know mom told me everything about you.

Aaron: yeah. She knew me well.

Aina could sense his grief.

Aina: you know I never dressed up for you. It was a mom who used to force me to dress up for you.

Aaron: you are a hypocrite, I know.

Aina: and you are the devil, I know.

Aaron smiled.

Aina: why are you so nice?

Aaron: you want that arrogant one?

Aina: yes, at least I won't fall for you. Now you are making me fall for you. I'm badly in love with you which I don't want. You know I don't want you to go to the office.

Aaron: No worries, I won't go.

Aina: I don't want that as well.

Aaron: then what my wife wants?

Aina: I don't know.

Aaron: I'll go to the office tomorrow. I'll ask Zain to drop Bella here.

Aina: that's so bad of you. How selfish you are. Now you'll use Bella for your wife's loneliness.

Aaron: ok then I'll take you to my office.

Aina: would you be able to focus on work?

Aaron: that's hard.

Aina laughed.

Next day;

Carla called Emma.

On phone calls;

Carla (shaky voice): Emma, I'm fed up now.

Emma: what happened?

Carla: he doesn't like me anymore. He has decided to break up.

Emma: how dare he? He can't break up. He loves you. I know him. He can't live without you. You must have misunderstood.

Carla: he said. He wasn't talking to me since that accident. When I forced him, he said he doesn't want to talk to me even though he won't marry me. He has changed Emma. He is no more than David (Tears rolled down her cheeks).

Emma: Don't worry. I'll ask him.

Emma called David and ask him to meet.

Emma: What's wrong with you man?

David: what did I do?

Emma: stop pretending. Carla is pleading to talk to you and here you're showing your attitude. What's wrong she has done that you are treating her like trash? She is our innocent darling girl. We won't let you play with her.

David: I know. She is immature. She doesn't know what I'm doing for her good. She deserves someone better.

Emma: oh man, please. Stop your bullshit "deserves better" (she mimicked him). I was so hell angry at you. You legit made her cry. She was in pain and instead of helping her in healing, you put salt on them.

David: That's why I'm saying don't make her life difficult. I won't be able to protect her. I'm not capable. I'm not good for her.

Saying that he left.
