In heaven ;
None of them spoke or even tried to break the silence. One was afraid of the other's reaction, while the other was afraid of him.
But in the end, when the silence became unbearable for Aelin. She couldn't help but ask.
" Who are…. Ahem… I mean, Where is this place? Why am I here? And what are you doing here, Sir?" She asked politely.
Although The Great Dietiness wanted to reprimand her, the moment she asked the same question again. But her trembling, bunny images eliminated the idea.
"Who are you?" He asked as a way of replying, breaking the dread silence of the room again. He had seen the way she was getting shocked after staring at the room. As if she has been teleported to a completely different realm.
" I am … Me… That… Wait a minute. Who am I ?" She asked in confusion while furrowing her brows.
Damn it! The question shouldn't be who this person is. But, who exactly she was, in the first place.
Yep! Who was she?
And Prithvi felt like a great headache was creeping on. How come, she; The Great Lady Aelin Westfall, Code point 5701, didn't know about herself.
'Was the fight that much serious? Akshura!!! You better pray not to fall in Your Dietiship's hand. Or your dietiship. will make you regret the moment you were born.
How dare a measly demon like you hurt my precious! You will regret it the most.'
"Nature." He simply commanded in a highly dangerous voice. And the Great Nature, who felt like its end was near, couldn't help but float much faster than meteorites to answer the summon of The Great Dietiness.
Within a blink, Nature was standing at a safe distance in the room. As for Aelin, she was terrified again, with this guy's emotional fluctuations.
One moment he was sweet as candy. Another moment he was the monster from hell. Was he suffering from a split personality, by any chance?
Aiye! Her heart was already in her throat. One more time, and she would definitely die from a heart attack.
[ Only if she knows, she can't die. At least not from a mere heart attack.]
~~
" Yes, The Great Dietiness." Nature asked in utmost concern.
"Do the in-detail check on her." He commanded. His eyes never leaving Phoenix's face.
And both Nature and Phoenix look at each other in confusion.
Nature; 'Isn't this creature absolutely alright?'
Aelin; 'What does this demon mean by in-detail check? It's a full-body examination, alright!'
But none of them carried the guts to voice their thoughts out loud.
"Ahem. Ahem. The Great Dietiness, can you please leave! As it's not suitable to do an in-detail check in your presence." Nature finally probed after getting the guts.
In simple words, My Lord, Get out of the room. She was the opposite gender, after all, at the end of the day. So, kindly leave.
Prithivi firstly didn't understand the so-called expression language of Nature. But after staring at Aelin, he finally understood and left.
Firstly, the Great Dietiness became the intruder. Then the cruel-hearted master. And now a watchman. He was already standing outside the door, waiting for the result. Aiya, just how must this fellow lower himself for her.
While thinking about two possible outcomes;
She lost her memory.
She is acting again.
~~
After the continuous inspection of 5 days and 5 nights [ As per human timeline], the results finally came out.
Nature finally left the room, only to see A Great Deity guarding the door. It was more than enough to give Nature an attack.
"Result." He simply asked, without waiting for Nature to regain its senses.
"Greetings, The Great Deitiness. Lady Westfall has indeed lost her memories completely. But that's not the biggest problem at hand, as the main problem is she doesn't even remember the fact that she is an angel, a phoenix goddess atop that."
"Under constant supervision and in-detail check, I found her behaving like a human. I haven't disclosed any information to her. As she... Ahem.. she seemed scared of me, too.
Currently, she is dealing with great trauma, the trauma of being what she didn't expect herself to be, and she seemed scared of heights, too."
"I suggest you take great care of her. While helping her in adjusting to this life.Her life. Or, in other words, her new life." Nature explained. Then showed a little pink cloud which was hanging in the air to Prithvi, bowed and left.
After checking everything in detail, he showed his hand, and the pink cloud dispersed automatically. He fell in a daze.
'She didn't ignore me. She just forgot me. No problem. I will still love her, cherish her and spoil her. I will make her fall in love with me this time.
Hah! Time to complete The Mission Impossible. Win the heart of a heartless phoenix.'
After resorting through all his thoughts, he finally let out a deep sigh and then entered the room.
It's been two hours, as per Paradise Time. Yet, within these two hours, everything changed.
'Akshura!!! You will regret it the most.' He solemnly vows.
He stared at the sleeping angel. An angel who might accept him this time if he worked hard. No, he won't let anyone hurt her again. He will become her sword and shield.
And as if the sleeping phoenix sensed his determination. It slowly opened its eyes.
"Aelin." He called her in the most delicate voice.
She just stared at the same handsome yet terrifying face, but with question marks on her face.
'Aelin? Aelin! ME. The heiress of Kim Family. The coward, loser, stupid, naive Aelin Kim. Does he know me?' And the more the Aelin thought, the more her head hurt, all the memories of her life, herself, everything till the accident came flooding in.
She felt a piercing pain in her head. That's when she realized her last parting pleading words. She didn't want to die. So,.... she …. survived.
She jolted up in a sitting position and started touching herself to check on her.
Hell, That wasn't a nightmare. That was the reality. An accident planned by the person she loved and trusted the most. Her fiance. The Ashoka Rajput. To whom her parents treated like their own son. To whom her family considers as a family. The very same person who shows her both heaven and hell. And in the end, who gave her this death.
"You know me?" She asked, almost in a sarcastic, terrified tone.
'Why are there no burn signs but wounds and injuries all over my body. What about my face? My hair?'
Most importantly, what about her family? What about The Kim Family? What about him? What about that disgusting piece of shit?
Just what happened? How did it happen?? Why did it happen? Where on earth was she? And now, her brain was filled with millions of thoughts.
