NEIL'S P.O.VMy entire world revolves around my parents. I don't know when Aashi became a part of my life.My world. I always knew that she had something for me in some corner of her heart. And, that evening in that parkland, it was all crystal clear. The moment I saw her restless for me, I was reassured that my assumptions were not false. In fact, she felt for me a way more than I had presupposed.Somewhere I was still confused because of her brush-off behaviour with me.Many thoughts swirled in me. Why she has to ignore her own feelings for me everytime?What might be the reason behind her demeanor before me? I did thought and found many ways to know the reason behind it, but got nothing.As if god understood my endeavour, my destiny made me meet Yash and Ayu, who are among the most important people of her life.I was and am still glad that they realised and accepted my boundless and unfathomable love for her.Through them, I got to know more about her family and more importantly, the reason behind her jim-jams.I just wanted to pull out my love from her traumatising dilemma. We almost decided to meet the rest of her family, however, the only thing which caged us was Aashi's confession and acknowledgement.On that day, when we met with an accident, it was proven, she loves me too. No second thought. Everything was going good, till an anonymous person entered our lives.I learned some concealed person was shadowing Aashi.My blood boiled at his audacity. How dare he even have a thought to petrify her, when I am right there to shield her boundlessly? Since then, my only focus was on catching a hold on that unidentified human.Yes! I AM AWARE. I am thoroughly aware who that snake in the grass is and what motive he holds. This reason or should I say my endearment pulled me here in this camp to safeguard her, where I never accompanied in past.And now when I know about him, she is not even a look-in to me to explain about the prospect.The entrance of Princy in our lives created an unknown turbulence.She was head over heels for me since long even before Aashi entered my life.Nonetheless, I was distinctly sure that I had nothing to do with her or her inclination towards me ever. I had confronted her with the same and announced it very clearly that Princy could never be a part of my life sooner or later.Even Princy accepted the truth and moved on.Although the way she carried herself with Aashi on realising the importance of Aashi in my life, which no doubt any one could understand, left me addled.When Princy acquired the truth that she doesn't hold any importance in my life, then what made her behave so weird with Aashi?Suddenly, she vanished for quite a long time and she even did leave the flat without my knowledge.So far, on attempting hard, I got to know why she was pretending so.That anonymous person was behind all this and he made Princy behave the way she did.Thanks to Princy, she revealed everything in her own stance. She justified everything on the day Aashi misunderstood us.She told how the stalker manipulated her. How he indirectly threatened her to be rash with Aashi and ruin our lives. In fact, she wanted to confront and explain it to Aashi, but the whole nine yards turned upside down. My heart shattered into pieces when she didn't even give an ear to my side of the story. Don't I deserve a chance to explain the actuality to my own love?I tried to earn Aashi's trust with all my might, nevertheless, I guess they weren't enough.The thought of her not trusting me is killing me from within.I am helpless. I am not blaming my Aashi for this and I couldn't even spare a notion of. Furthermore, when I know the reasons behind her each smile, each sorrow, each reaction and each belief that precisely strikes her with a single instance happens to her.How shouldn't I?She is my life. No one would ever be able to harm her, on me being around her.*determined*I understand she wants to have a conversation with me, however, I couldn't help it. I was hurt. I just don't want to behave or do something wrong under the disguise of my distress. Hence, I didn't bother to talk to her as I wasn't willing to hurt her with my almost rare raged words.Damn!Whatever it might be, I have to talk to her about that unheard menace.I should search for her and spare no effort in making her understand the significance of the situation.I paced in search of her and reached the tent slots.I couldn't find her. I walked to and fro shouting her name in search of her without considering the eye sights I attracted towards me.Where are you, daddy's little girl?I could feel in my bones, something is not right.Meanwhile, my phone rang. It flashed an unknown number. I was least bothered now for the perception.I swiped the green icon. Me- Who is it?Unknown- *maniacal laugh*Me- Who is it? Unknown- How you doing, Mr. Oberoi? Me- Who? Wait, is that you? Unknown- Wow! You are smarter than I assumed.*chuckle*Me- How dare you call me?Unknown- Who else can dare to call you and moreover, when it is about her? Me- Aashi? What the hell are you saying? What do you mean?Unknown- Uh..oh! Stop being so restless. She is fine. Me- She? What did you do? Where is she? *twitchy*Unknown- What's the hurry, Mr. Oberoi? Me- Ugh! Don't test my patience you fink. Blurt out or else you gonna have it like never before. Unknown- Whoa! Mr. Oberoi lost his composure? Me- I swear, I will not spare an ounce of your low life. Speak out, NOW. Unknown- Hold your horses, Mr. Oberoi. I just wanted you to know about her existence. Rest is up to you. Me- What?Unknown- Find her if you can. *sinister laugh*Me- Wait.. Wait..Beep.. Beep..Shit! Shit! Shit! How could I allow him to reach her when I am here by her side?I shouldn't have left her like that. It's all my fault. I broke my own word of honour with myself. She isn't safe with that creep at all. How can I find her now?*thought clicked*The tracking sensors. Exactly!Those tracking sensors I had placed in her phone when it fell to the ground, just an hour ago in the forest area. Thank God, I did that. That must work. I opened the app I had installed priorly connected to the sensors from her phone and started tracking. I will reach her shortly, hopefully. Please stay safe, daddy's little girl. ****************************Here we go! Neil's P. O. V. See you in the next chapter. Till then stay tuned and miss meðð#KeepReading #KeepLovingâ¥ï¸â¥ï¸
