Aryan felt his head heavy, as if something inside his head was getting squeezed! He wanted to wake up but the feeling he felt which as though was pulling him down to the misery everytime he was putting effort climbing up, prevented him!
With a slight groan, he slowly opened his eyes, immediately feeling them getting wet! Though it hurt, he blinked twice, and as soon as he did, he saw Tara asleep!
One by one, remembering everything that happened, he recalled his visions! He saw her whole family in this library! Except for her uncle's! Her father, mother, grandparents! And she....she was a baby! So adorable!
And then came the painful memory! Of himself! The one that pained his head, made him feel suffocated and he fell to the ground! He remembered her trying to normalise him but to no avail! He lost his sight already by then!
Now staring her up, noticing himself laying, he knew, she never left!
Aryan tried to massage his head as it felt heavy and burdened, but as he tried, he witnessed how she held his hand, and her other hand on his forehead, her cold touch somehow eased his headache again!
Yet, he felt uncomfortable! He badly wanted to get rid of the position he was in! His body ached!!
As soon as he tried to wake up, Tara shot her eyes wide open as if she dreamt something really bad! She looked down him with a gasp as she leaned forward, her grip around his hand tightening!
Her breath was heavy, and he could see her gaze wavering until they were fixed on him!
Aryan could see her taking heavy breaths, his hand soon reaching for hers! Assuring with a pat, "Relax!!"
She tried to normalise her breaths, calming herself, while he pushed himself up, but she didn't let go of his hand, neither, he!
"Are you alright?" both asked in unison as they looked at each other!
A moment of silence followed until she withdrew her hand with a shook! "Everything is alright!!" she assured herself more than him, adjusting her hair!
Aryan nodded assuring her the same!
"I.... didn't....it happened coincidentally...!!"
Tara gave a faint smile, she knew it, he didn't need to explain!
"I know, I have your word!!"
Aryan smiled relaxed!
"Seems like I was lost for much of a time!!" he commented as he realised it was dark already!
"We better have something to eat!" she suggested!
Aryan chuckled, it might well be a nice time pass, as for, he is never gonna sleep again this night with ease!
"We better do!!"
Her fainted smile remains though she tries to widen it up!
"Sorry that I worried you again!" Aryan apologized as they began to have their meal! They prepared the dinner in silence and after arranging food for Snoopy as well whose presence Tara didn't notice back in library, they were seated at the dining table, and after moments of silence, Aryan decided to break it!
Tara stared up from her cutlery, the soundless conversation her eyes provided him with, only made him stare her back!
"I feel like the situation is getting out of our hands!!" she sounded downhearted!
Aryan smiled faintly as he downed his head, it was perhaps!!
They just ate in silence before getting into their rooms! Aryan tried much to sleep but he couldn't! He didn't know what was the reason in specific, his agonizing experience or her depressed feelings!
While the other way, Tara even after tucking Snoopy to sleep, couldn't get to sleep! Her body was tired, both physically and mentally, yet she didn't dare even to blink an eye!
She was sure, nightmares would be waiting for her!!
The next morning, everything seemed normal for them! Perhaps it just seemed to be!
*************
Aarohi woke up early in the morning! Or it just could be said that, that she never had a good sleep the whole night!
It's been two days since Deep contacted her! And this worried her!
Just after she thought she owned him completely now, they were distancing! And also considering the things he stated about his sister, now his seperation bothered her even more!
And just with bothering thoughts lingering her, she reached his company as soon as she left the house!
Standing in front of TN, she hesitated!
Should she go or not....?!
She almost turned away but the tiny herself who appeared infront flying with wings, in a white dress like fairy, a wand and a crown decorating her, stopped her! The tiny her looked at her with arms crossed against her chest!
"Are you afraid already?!"
Aarohi blinked, "Why would I?!" she scoffed!
The tiny her shook her head, "Just two days and you already are fearing! Hesitating!" and suddenly her white dress changed to black and red, her crown to horns! Which almost made Aarohi blink again!
"We should not let him dominate us! A woman should be independent, and you...You are unique! You have all the rights, go and ask him! Now!!"
Her pointed finger almost made Aarohi nod in acceptance!
"Fighting!!" her tiny self encouraged!
Aarohi though wasn't sure what she wanted to ask sighed, she just wanted to check on him!
"Aren't I right?!" the tiny her snapped!
Aarohi nodded like a kid before shaking her head at herself, and suddenly she felt someone grabbing her skirt, pulling!
Looking down, she found a boy with enjoying his candy while staring up at her in wonder!
"You speak with the invisibility?" he asked innocently which almost made her laugh but she ended up with a smile!
"Can you teach me too?" he again so innocently asked, waving his hand which held her skirt!
Aarohi couldn't help but crouch down to caress his cheek, "There exists nothing like that!" she smiled, "And who's this by the way?"
"Atharv!!" soon a lady came running, as she grabbed the boy's hand gently, "You never listen!! You shouldn't roam around alone!!" the lady scolded!
Aarohi held back her smile as she rose, "Is he your child?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry incase he bothered you anyway!!"
She shook her head, a smile taking over her, "You're gifted with such an adorable kid!"
The lady returned the smile before leaving her behind while the entire time until they took a turn, the boy kept gazing her with the candy, held up, into his mouth!
Such an adorable one!!
Would she be gifted with such one as well?!
With a chuckle, she shook her head! She was being silly, she knew, but she only felt it was right to think so!
Aarohi sighed before getting into the company! The receptionist won't be allowing her to meet him with that ease, right?!
"I've something stored for him which he lost! Could you let me hand it back to him?" Aarohi lied!
"You could hand it over here mam, I will make sure to have him receive it!!"
This lady had to protest!
"It's something personal, I wonder he would....." she didn't think she lied this time!
Well the lady hesitated, "Well then, I think you need to wait mam, sir didn't come by yet!!"
Aarohi blinked again, he didn't come yet?! Wonder!!
She just gave the lady a nod, feeling defeated she turned to leave but the lady stopped her!
"I would suggest you to meet our company secretary! She's often the one to manage his works, professional and personal!" the lady politely suggested!
Aarohi frowned, could she? Should she?!
"I would be glad if you could do that!" she smiled!
After having the lady speak to the person she claimed, she waited while taking a look at all over her surroundings!
Meera came by, checking her mobile!
"Yeah thanks for the effort miss! May I...." Meera spoke without glaring at her, and when she looked up from the screen, she took notice of Aarohi which halted her!
Aarohi looked at the lady and immediately recognised her, "Meera?"
Meera paused! Did she meet this lady ever before?! A step back! She was one of the make-up artists, wasn't she?!
But that didn't explain her feeling of familiarity yet!!
"Did you recognise me?"
Meera thought she did!! But...how, when, and where?
