Chapter 24

Aryan's Pov:-

"I was about to get hit by a truck but fortunately akshara save me, preventing me to get hit" Samaira says on the line.

Samaira was about to get hit by a truck?

My heart pounded in my chest.A rush of panic surged through me, Fear gripped me tightly, and a overwhelming sense of urgency took over.

The thought of, I was about to lose her was unbearable. I can't even imagine a life without her, I know I've hurt her, and I really regret it to core.

These past years was just like a lifeless time for me. I carried the regret within my heart. The regret only grew more day by day.

First, I need to check, if samaira's fine. I wish i could rush to her and give her a big hug right now. Just the thought of wrapping my arms around her, brings a sense of comfort and warmth to me.

But i know, she wouldn't let me do that. I guess, I have to wait for it.

I want to see samaira right now.

All are getting worried for samaira, I could see it in their faces. Of course she is the most loved among us.

"Yes, we'll send someone over, but no need for someone, We'll send Aryan to pick you up" Stated maa, glancing at mahima aunty.

Yes, I just need that right now.

Now that, I have permission. No one can stop me.

I grabbed my car keys and was about to rush towards the exit.

"What do you think Ary-" My mother was saying something, but she stops.

"I'm going maa, I'll be back with samaira" Saying this, I rushed towards the exit.

After buckling the seat belt, I started the engine, making it roar. A surge of urgency filled my mind.

"I need to see her" I whispered to myself, gripping the steering wheel tightly. My knuckles turned white as I focus on the road ahead.

I left the mansion and started heading towards samaira's office.

"Just hold on samaira, I'm coming" I whispered, pushing down the accelerator.

I couldn't even image to lose her. I'm sure, I'm not going to leave the truck driver, I'll make him experience the worst.

After some time, I reached samaira's office and found her coming out of the building.

Slamming the door shut, I rushed towards her.

Her eyes wide in disbelief, before she could say anything, I grabbed her arms and checked her if she had any injuries. Fortunately she didn't have any major or minor injuries.

"Are you okay samaira?" I spoke, glancing at samaira, who still stood wide eyed. My tone desperate and concerned.

"I'm fine" Saying this, she tried to move back. Sensing her discomfort, I left her arms not wanting to make her uncomfortable.

"I already said that, I'm fine on my own. There's no need that, You need to pick me up" Stated samaira, wincing like a child.

She looks cute.

A smile threatened to form on my lips, but I suppressed it.

Licking my lips, I replied, "Samaira, The elders are really worried for you. So, for their comfort they sent me. They are waiting for you." My tone soft.

"Also, Mahima aunty is very concerned about you. So let's go" I added, hoping she would agree.

She looks a little convinced but still argues, "Alright, but I'll just drive back in my car, I'll follow you along" She says, her tone gentle yet firm.

She's stubborn.

A sigh escaped my lips. "Samaira, For the sake of elders, Just come with me. I'll drive you to home" I replied, looking into her eyes.

"What if I don't?" She says, raising her brows.

Taking a step forward, I replied, "If you don't, Then I have to inform this to mahima aunty. Don't be stubborn, Just come with me" My tone low.

She gasped in disbelief, "Y-You're blackmailing me? You're childish!" She exclaims, stomping her feet while marching towards my car.

A chuckle escaped my lips as I followed her.

She was about to open the back seat door, but I interrupt.

"Sit in the passenger seat, Samaira" I spoke, glancing at samaira. My tone gentle yet firm.

"I'm coming with you, That's a big deal and you're asking me to sit in the passenger seat? Never!" She exclaims, folding her arms across her chest.

"Samaira, I'm warning you. Sit in the front" I warned, my tone firm this time.

"No" She says, her tone firm.

She again tried to open the back seat door. Having no option left.

I lifted her in a bridal way, leaving no room for further discussion. her eyes widening in surprise as she found herself in my arms. She wrapped her arms around my neck for support.

She gasped and tried to get out of my grip, but she's just like a sack. I wonder if she eats anything properly.

She exclaims "Put me down, What are you doing?" Her tone laced with surprise.

"Samaira, Don't wriggle. Also sit quietly on the passenger seat or I'll make you sit on my lap while I drive the car" I threatened, my tone demanding.

She knows if I'm determined to do something, I'll definitely do that and also it's just not a threat, if she's stubborn, I'll definitely make her sit on my lap.

That's for sure.

She stopped wriggling with a pout on her kissable lips. I made her on the passenger seat.

She sat while folding her arms across her chest, her face showing pure defeat. But still she's angry.

"Seat belt or should I do it? " I spoke, my hand resting on the car roof while I lean in.

A defeat sigh escaped her lips, while she buckles the seat belt.

A smirk formed on my lips as I made my way towards the driver seat.

After buckling my own seat belt, I started the engine, making it roar.

Few moments passed, silence enveloped between us. Never thought that silence could be this frustrating with her.

I want her to talk with her usual bright side, but she isn't even saying a word. I glanced at samaira and found her staring blankly at the window.

Maybe lost in thought?

Now, The silence is unbearable. Hoping to start conversation, I spoke, "Samaira, We didn't had a proper talk since you arrived from New york. I would like to have proper conversation with you" My tone gentle.

She turned towards me and again started staring the window. I wish I could break that window. Literally, That window is getting more attention from her than me.

You're jealous of a window? Seriously? Mocked my subconscious mind.

Yes, I am.

"There's nothing left to talk,

Mr. Rathore" Says samaira, her tone low and gloomy.

But I want to talk with you samaira, I wish to hear that sweet voice of yours. I really would love to. Please.

"Samaira please don't ignore me, Please don't be like this. I really want to talk with you" I replied, while glancing at her, my tone desparate.

She finally turned towards me, and replied, "What do you want to talk? Mr. Rathore" Her tone steady. Her face showing no emotions.

A sigh escaped my lips, "About the incident happened six years ago. Your confession" I spoke, glancing at her emotionless face.

"My confession?" She repeats raising her brows, her tone low.

"Okay, Since you want to talk about that. Hear me, I was just childish at that time, also I was just a teenager who was deeply in love with her brother's friend. Also roams around him since childhood, even though he rejected me every single time. I always used to console myself that he'll like me back, Butt is all of the assumptions got wrong one day, when I saw him hugging a girl right infront of my freaking eyes. Maybe, I couldn't bear it and left for new york the next day, leaving my whole family behind.  Just like you said, It's just a mere attraction for me. Right?" She stated, her tone low.

"Just think me as a nightmare, and forget the bitter memories" Added samaira, her eyes glistening. Her tone heavy with emotion as she leaned against the seat.

Suddenly, I stopped the car with a jerk movement hearing the words from her.

I'm the reason of it. I really hate it that I'm the reason of her sorrow.

"I'm sorry samaira, I'm really sorry for that. I shouldn't have done something so stupid, And the memories I spent with you isn't bitter. But they are the memories that I want to cherish forever. You are the person, I want to cherish forever. I know a sorry can't fix anything that happened. But every human deserves a second chance right?" I replied, looking into samaira's eyes. My tone desparate.

Taking a deep breath, Samaira stated, "Let's go, Mr. Rathore. I'm tired" While closing her eyes, her tone low.

A sigh escaped my lips, "Alright. But this doesn't mean that, I'm going to give up. Never in my life, and that's for sure samaira" I spoke, glancing at samaira. My tone low yet calm.

"Let's see" She whispers, as she again stares at the mirror.

I just really wish to break that little thing right now. It's really getting on my nerves right now.

I start the car, heading directly to rathore's mansion.

After few moments in the disturbing silence, we finally arrived the destination.

"Thanks for the ride, Mr. Rathore." Says samaira, unbuckling the seat belt.

"Please stop calling me that" I replied, glancing at samaira. My tone slightly frustrated.

"What?" Stated samaira, her brows furrowed in confusion. Her tone laced with confusion.

Looking into her eyes, I replied, "Stop calling me Mr. Rathore. I hate that. Just call me how you used to call me, when you used to be in college" My tone gentle yet frustrated.

"Why should I? I'll call whatever I want" She stated with a playful smile, her tone steady.

God. Her smile.

While I was just lost in her smile, she slammed the door shut indicating that she already left.

Ahh.

Parking my car, I followed samaira behind.

All of them gathered near samaira. Panic and urgency filled the atmosphere.

"Should I contact a doctor beta?" Added vijay his tone concerned.

"I'll contact our family doctor" Stated mahendra, while pulling the phone out of his pocket. But samaira interrupts.

"Uncle! Maa! Papa and all, I'm really fit and fine. See" Saying this, samaira twirled around.

All of their tensed faces eased a bit.

"Anyhow, You should have informed us about such a big incident samaira, In the future, please make sure to inform us" Stated nalini, her eyes sparkled with warmth.

"I'm really sorry that, I didn't inform you guys. But I really didn't want you to worry about me" Replied samaira, glancing at everyone. Her tone steady.
