Chapter 8
AYAAN'S POV
Okay, honestly I didnt expect her to be my fan by the way she had screamed at me.
But Aubreys words had indeed surprised me.
Anyways, back to me trying to show her my gentlemanliness.
I took her to a nearby isolated cafe which according to her served the best coffee at a cheap price.
We took a seat at a booth in the corner of the cafe, so that we could possibly be unnoticed by people.
I didnt want her to get involved in any of the scandals for being spotted with me.
I notice the two bickering, where I can clearly see Aubrey was winning the argument.
Clearing my throat, I tried to grasp their attention. I succeeded in the third try.
"Since you know my name, can I have the pleasure to know yours?" I asked her
"Umm...Noo??" Her reply came out of like she was questioning herself to tell it or not.
"Its Inaaya! Stop being so rude and stubborn sissy! He only asked your name, nothing else!" Aubrey exasperated.
"Aubrey! By the way its Inaaya, Inaaya Anna Mathew." She said after scolding Aubrey.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady" I said
she tried hiding her blush but failed terribly.
"Thank you!" she said smiling.
"I will go with just a frap, what about you Aubrey?" she said and asked Aubrey.
"I will have a chocolate milkshake" Aubrey replied.
After ordering whatever we wanted, we talked for sometime.
And before you know it was time for us to leave.
And we finally parted ways after exchanging numbers.
INAAYA'S POV
After exchanging numbers we left for our homes.
He made me promise not to disclose his number, you know because of security reasons.Aubrey even went as far as making us do the pinky promise which according to her is the ultimate promise.
Eventually we left when we particularly me, realized that it was getting late and Aubrey had school tomorrow and also that it was my first day at work .
Reaching home I contemplated whether to call Zara or not considering what just happened this afternoon.
Deciding against it cause its already too late, I went to Aubrey to tuck her in which was our daily routine.
"Hey Aubrey ready for me to tuck you in ??" I asked her entering her room.
Hearing no response I looked around the room to find her nowhere around . Where is she ?
I heard a sobbing sound from near the curtains which had a balcony behind it. Going closer the sobbing got louder and I found Aubrey crouched in the corner clutching something which distinctly looked like a photo frame .
"Hey! What happened sweetheart ?" I asked turning her around to face me.
She looked at me with her big tearfilled doe eyes and then stared at the photoframe .
My attention went to the picture and saw it was a family photo we took just before the accident.
"ohh, sweetheart." I said and pulled her into a hug. This rarely happened because she didnt have any memory of them because she was really small when they left. But she does have her episodes.
"Sissy, How were they like? would they have loved me if they were here? they wouldnt hate me would they?" She asked me whimpering every time she uttered they .
Horrified at her question I looked at her straight in the eyes and said
" Sweety they would have loved you no matter what actually more than me and what made you think otherwise?"
I waited for her to reply
" Today at school we were supposed to introduce ourselves and the teacher told us to tell basic things about ourselves ." She said and paused for a little while and then continued.
"And then she asked what our parents did and when my turn came I said that I live with my sister and she works at M.K and co and that my parents died when i was really small." She again paused and continued
" The teacher told me sorry for my lose and after that the introduction continued and everything was normal but during lunch break this group of people from the grade above came and told me that mom and dad left because they didnt love and a...a.an..and that y..yo...you ...... i am not burden for you am I Sissy ?? ...i..a..am not burden isnt it ?? "
She said all this hiccuping and tears running down her eyes..
My heart broke seeing her like this and I also felt murderous at those children for doing this even though I shouldnt.
Grabbing her shoulders firmly and making her look straight into my eyes I said
"How dare you Aubrey ! How dare you ask me that ? Have I ever told you that ? Have I ?? " I asked her angrily, angry at myself for not making it obvious to Aubrey that I love her to death.
Seeing her head shake in negative I continued,
"Sweetheart, there is nothing in world that can convey how much you mean to me because if it werent for you , I wouldnt be the person I am today or be at the place I am. Look at photo cant you see the adoration and love with which they are staring at you and ignoring me?"
I joked trying to lighten the seriousness and I was successful seeing how Aubrey was trying so hard not to smile like a cheshire cat and eventually gave in.
"I love you Sissy, I am sorry I let it get to me!" she said
"Its okay ! now you gotta sleep. School tomorrow remember?" I said while her face morph into an ugly frown .
"Cant I skip?" She asked me hopefully with those puppy dog eyes . Fortuantely it doesnt work on me so her lose.
" No missy, you are going and thats final!" I said sternly while tucking her in.
Kissing her forehead and turning the night lamp on I left the room saying out goodnight.
Reaching my room I noticed a text from Zara in which she asks me to meet at our usual spot tomorrow so that we can talk about my first day .
I texted her an okay. Hope she sees it.
Sometimes I do envy her but then I am faced with the reality of life and all of it vanishes because I know she deserves it after all she went through.
There are days when I just want to drown in my dreams and hopes shoving reality to a side but sadly being independant doesnt allow you to think about it for long.
I was brought out of my train of thoughts when my phone lit up telling me I have a notification.
I didnt think Zara would reply so fast with Zack there!
I thought of ignoring it but the curious cat in me told to check it and I was surprised to see it was from none other than you know who!
Before I could reply to the text, I hear hurried footsteps towards my door and see Aubrey coming in .
I look at her questioningly seeing the tears and terror on her face.
"Mommy!" she said and it was enough for me to understand.
"Come here, Sweetheart!" I told her patting the space beside me on the bed.
"So tell me what did you see today?" I asked her cautiously.
