Aayana's pov -

"What are you doing on the road in front of our home Iru ??" I asked loudly as Iru was standing on the opposite side of the road.
"I am coming, you stay there." Iru also screamed and said, I nodded.
Iru is coming to me suddenly and a few men hold her, yeah these are Sunny's goons. What are they doing, what do they want now ??? Then I saw Sunny getting down from the car. Due to vehicles, I couldn't reach that side of the road. Still, I am trying but before I could reach it, he shoots Iru twice.

"Iruuuuuuuuuu," I screamed and sat. Mom and Dad also come to me. Then I realize it's a dream not real. I am breathing heavily and also feeling more pain in my chest because of the bullsh*t bullet wound. I hold my chest with my hand. Mom is wiping the sweat off my face and Dad gives me a glass of water. My hands are shivering. That's why Dad helps me to drink. Both of them are sitting on my side and holding me.

"What happened ?? Did you have any nightmares ??" Mom asked.
"Yeah. It's Ira. I need to go home." I said.
"You are at home," Dad said.
"I mean Ira's home. Now !!!" I said.

"Okay. You get fresh then eat something then go. We will come later. Okay ??" Mom said.
"No, I don't have time to eat. I wanna see her now. She might be sleeping, I can't call her now. I am just getting fresh and leaving." By saying that I intend to get up.
"What did you see ?? Why are you so afraid ???" Mom asked.
"Sunny shoots Ira, Mom... I can't explain how scared I am." I said.

"Don't worry nothing will happen like this. Still, you go. I am giving you a sandwich. Otherwise, you won't be able to take medicine." Mom said and left. Dad also left by patting my cheek.
Then I quickly finished my shower and left the room to go to Iru. Mom gave me a sandwich to eat, I tried to eat faster and sauce fell on my chest. "Damn. Now I will be late." I said.

"I am bringing something to wear." Mom said and then she brought a t-shirt. I changed into this and left. I take an auto. This auto is really slow. When I reach the gate it's 7:30 am. I enter at home through the passcode.
"You are so early." I got scared by this sound.
"Oh, Mum. You scared me. Where is Iru ??" I asked. There is still fear in my voice.

"She is sleeping and you scared me also. We talked for a long time last night. I am not feeling well so I got up. She is sleeping so I didn't disturb her." Mum said.
"You are not feeling well !! What happened ???" I asked. Then I get close to Mum to check her temperature. "You have a fever mum. Why didn't you call me ???" I asked.
"As you are well !!! You are also unwell Aayu and it's normal for me now. I am gonna eat something then I will take medicine. Don't worry. You go to Iru." Mum said.

"What will you eat ??" I asked.
"Iru kept food for me last night, don't worry," Mum said and smiled.
"Lemme check." I insisted.
"You both are the same. I said I will take it now and tell me where are your Mom and Dad ??? Iru told me that they will also come." Mum asked.

"Mum, it's early morning. They will come after breakfast. I came to see Iru. How is she ??" I asked.
"Mmmm. She has pain and she shared her past with me last night. Those memories make her upset." Mum said she is looking so sad. I hugged her and said, "Mum I can't change the past but I will cover her bad memories with love. I will try my best to keep her happy."

"I know that it seems in your eyes. That's why I came back. I know you will handle her after my death. But never hurt yourself for Iru. You both share your soul. One's pain will hurt another. You go to her. If she sees you, she will be happy. I am coming." Mum said and put a kiss on my forehead.
"All is okay but I never wanna hear this death word from you. You have to fight for us. Okay ??" I asked.

"Will, but I need to have the time also," Mum said.
"Mum, please. Stop it." I got angry.
"Okay, okay leave it. You go, I am coming by to take a burger. Would you like to take it ??" Mum asked.
"No mum you eat. I have eaten a sandwich and Iru will take time to eat so only bring for you. I am going." I said and left Mum downstairs.

When I reach Iru, she is sleeping. Whenever I see her sleeping, my love for her increases. She looks like a kid. She is wearing five inches casual pants. Her legs are so sexy. I sat beside her left side. Then slowly put my hand on her forehead. She is shining like a pearl. I couldn't control just kissing her left cheek. She moves a little and turns her face to the left side, so I put a kiss on her right cheek. Slowly she opens her eyes. When she sees me, she gives me a big smile. As I was bent in front of her she saw my bandage was red. She immediately asked me, "Is your wound bleeding ?? Damn... Why didn't you call Sana ??? Where is my phone ????" Then she struggles to get up and succeed.

"I am fine. Listen to me." I said. Who listens to me, she is dialing for Sana. I tried to snatch her phone but failed. So I held her face and put my lips on her. After a long time, I got this chance to kiss her like this. Then I said, "I was coming here. Mom gave me a sandwich, I dropped sauce on the bandage that's why it's red. Only blood is not red honey." Iru was looking relieved when I said this.
"Thanks to God. I got scared. Where is mum ??" Iru asked.

"Mum needs medicine so she went to the kitchen to bring a burger," I replied and Iru nodded.
"What brought you here this morning ??" Iru asked.
"You are not happy to see me ???!!!! Then I will go." I said to tease her.
"I am so happy and you also know that. But without any reason, you are not here. We both know that. Your eyes are also showing a different concern for me." Iru said she is really a person, who caught my every emotion.

"I had a dream. Sunny shoots you. Please take care of yourself." I said and Iru smiled.
"He won't don't worry. But yeah if Sana won't forgive him then there is a chance of this. But don't worry I will keep a bulletproof jacket with me. What do you say?" Iru said and again smiled.
"I am not joking," I said and turned back to her.

"Aww, my baby is angry. Okay, I will take care of mine for you. Okay ??" Then she hugs me from behind.
"Sorry, I didn't see anything." Suddenly Mum came and said, We are both scared.
"Mum, we get scared," Iru said.
"Do what you were doing. I am closing my eyes." Mum said and smiled.

"Okay, cover your eyes," Iru said. I look at her with surprised eyes. Mum holds her eyes with her hand. Iru holds me and kisses me on the lips. She was not leaving so I pushed her a little and said, "Mum please open your eyes."
"Is that safe ??" Mum said. These two are the same. Never miss a chance to tease me.

"Yeah, it's safe," Iru said and Mum opened her eyes. We all are smiling. Iru takes a pillow on her lap. Mum also sits on the bed. Iru takes the first aid box from the bed corner table and then pulls me on the pillow. I am on her lap.
"What are you doing ??" I asked.

"I am changing your bandage. Mum, how is your health ??" Iru said to me and asked Mum.
"Better," Mum replied. Then Iru removes the cloth from my chest. Then change my bandage. Mum also finished her burger and took medicine. Iru laid on Mum's lap and said, "Now tell us. What did you want to tell us ???"
"I am sorry, I chose someone else over you. But I couldn't take the chance to expose her feelings in front of all." Mum was stopped.
"Who is she ??" I asked.

"Iba, the love of my life. We have loved each other since I was in high school. She was at college at that time. We were at the same institute. But her family arranged her marriage when I was 17. Then I pacify her to get married as her family won't accept us and this society will kill her. She agreed to get married but for me. She got married when I was 18, she was 20 at that time. It's been almost 25 years since I saw her. Your dad was our common friend. Then he proposed to me. I thought this man knew my feelings and he would respect me. but your dad blackmailed me that if I won't keep you to him, he will expose our relationship to Iba's in-laws. I couldn't take that chance. I am sorry." Mum was saying and tears were rolling from her eyes. Iru gets up and wipes out her face.

Then she said, "Thanks, Mum, for choosing your love. If it was 7 years old Ira then I won't understand but 23 years Ira can understand. You didn't think that Dad would do something like this. Now tell me do you wanna meet with Iba Aunty? By the way, now I realize why my name is unmatched by you and Dad. It's matched with Iba Aunty."

"Yeah, our couple's nickname is Ira so I named you with that," Mum said.
"Iru please find, Iba aunty," I said.
"I will Aayu. Mum gives me details of Iba Aunty. We will meet you with your lost love." Iru said.
The trio hugs each other.

.........

Mum lost her love.
Why can't this society accept our feelings?
