Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Aaron Pov's

.

Aana started struggling to get out of my grip after seeing Aunt Jennifer. I let her go. She glanced at me then turned her head towards Aunt nervously.

"Is everything fine?" Aunt asked, looking at me.

"Yeah... Ev--everything is fine. What will happen?" Aana muttered nervously. I smirked seeing her getting anxious. My smile vanished when Aunt held her hand and looked at her arms which turned red because of my tight hold.

"fuck.. Why don't I have control over my anger?" I cursed myself looking at her hand...

"What was the need to hold her so tightly?" Rex growled. No matter how much we say, we hate her and her tears don't affect us but when we see tears in her eyes, it shivers our souls. My hands hitched to hold her hand and rubbed her arms to ease her pain. somehow I controlled myself and turned my head in another direction.

"The way Aaron held you, it felt like you were arguing about something?" Aunt asked, turning her head towards me. Before I would have said something, Aana interrupted me.

"He was worried." I rolled my eyes and looked at her annoyingly. Why does she need to hide anything? If I hurt her then she should tell instead of hiding.

"I told you that he went with me to the doctor. My gynaecologist told him to take care of me and make sure that I had my food on time so that I could have my medicine. Aaron was asking me whether I had my food or not. you were standing there, not able to hear anything. That's why maybe it seems to you like we were fighting." Aana lied smoothly.

"Ohh... There I thought he is misbehaving with you" Aunt Jennifer laughed. Stefan came towards her and said something which I ignored as my eyes were busy staring at the biggest liar in the whole world.

"Now I understand why I fall into your love trap so easily. You're such a good actor and a fibber" I whispered near her ear. She looked at my side with teary eyes.

"Did you say something, son?" Aunt asked, looking in my direction.

"Yes... I was saying Aana is such a good actor" I replied. She scrunched her eyebrow not understanding what I meant.

"She hadn't eaten anything in the morning despite knowing that she had to eat her medicines on time. Still roaming as if she had stored food like a camel and doesn't need food for years" I scrawled. I hate when she skips food or doesn't take care of herself.

"Camel" Aunt laughed.

"He is right, Aana. This is not good" she said looking at Aana.

"Sorry Aunt" Aana mumbled. Aunt nodded her head and then looked at my side.

She smiled and took my one hand in her hands.

"I'm sorry, son. How stupid I'm to think that a person like you can misbehave with someone else" My smile vanished upon hearing her words. It was like someone threw a bucket of water on my face. I recalled every incident between me and Aana since I landed here and it made me realise how rude I was to her. Aunt made me realise how dickhead I was to behave like an asshole with the mother of my pup.

"I'm sorry" I muttered and looked in her direction, finding her eyes on me. our eye contact broke when someone called Aunt and Stefan outside for some work.

"You will both have your dinner together and don't worry about the quantity. Start your dinner, I will send more with Stefan" Aunt said smiling. Stefan glanced at me for once then left with Aunt.

I was searching for words to say something when Aana crossed me and arranged the food on the table. She was calm unlike before. My eyes went to her arms, there was still red from where I held her hand. Maybe I used my power when I held her angrily. She stood up to leave the room when I held her hand.

"I'm... I'm sorry" I muttered and rubbed her arms. She looked at me dumbstruck, not able to understand the change in my behaviour. How would she when I was not able to understand what is happening to me?

"I didn't mean to harm you physically. I was not like this" She removed my hand from her arms and glared at me angrily. Before I could say something my eyes went to Aunt Jennifer who came back with a bowl in her hand. I maintain a distance from her.

"You both didn't start dinner," Aunt asked, looking at the food on the table.

"I was thinking of having food with Stefan only. He doesn't have a habit of eating alone" Aana muttered. I bit my inner cheeks not to say anything about that. I did not have a habit of eating alone when she cheated on me with someone else. My whole guilt turned into anger remembering our wedding day when I was waiting for her and she didn't come.

"Why did she have food with a person like me, Aunt? Especially when she had someone" I scoffed.

"It's nothing like that" Aana fired back.

"Then why are you not having food with me? Miss Aana" I asked. She glared at me while I gave her a mischievous look. I was testing the last drop of her patience.

"Call your friend, Ivanna if you're feeling so lonely to have food alone," Aana scoffed. Now I understand why she was mad at me from the moment she entered the room. She was hurt and furious after seeing me with Ivanna. a smile appeared on my face seeing her possessive nature toward me. Don't know why I loved it when she became possessive towards me, not wanting to share a single moment of my life with anyone but her.

"Ohh… You mean I can have my dinner with Ivanna in the same way you're having your dinner with Stefan" I fired back. She started breathing heavily because of anger. If eyes could kill then I would have burnt in her anger.

"Stop arguing like a child. You both are a mature person" Aunt scolds us. We turned our heads toward her.

"You both are going to eat your food together and I'm not going to listen to anything," She said before we could have argued. Aana silently went towards the table and started having food after serving food for herself. I look at Aunt who signalled me to go and eat food. I did without saying anything.

When I sat on the sofa near the table, Aana passed a plate to me after serving food. I glare at her and then look at the food. I looked at her side, she was having her food silently. She made fried rice. Maybe she doesn't remember that this is the first dish she made for me. My favourite dish.

"What happened, child? don't you like rice?" Aunt asked, finding me staring at the food.

"No.. It is his favourite dish" Aana replied before I could say anything. I look at her abruptly, realising that she remembers... She remembered the incident when she cooked for me for the first time and I shared that this is my favourite recipe. She turned her head in another direction and started having food, not looking in my direction.

"You remember?" I couldn't help myself from asking. She stopped having her food and looked in my direction.

"How can I forget the beautiful memories of my life?" She replied. I didn't say anything and started having my food. I closed my eyes after taking the first bite. I have craved this taste for the past 2 months.

"Umm… It's amazing" I muttered and opened my eyes, only to find her eyes on me. We both were looking into each other's eyes leaving the past moment again when she made fried rice for me and I replied the same thing after tasting it. We both smiled remembering that moment and resumed having food together after a long time.
