Chapter 94: Chapter 94

Aana Pov's

.

Aaron And I were looking into each other's eyes when Stefan pressed the car horn bringing us back to reality. Aaron looks at him with irks and then glares at him in jealousy. I tightened my lips not to laugh. I still can't believe he thinks Stefan is my boyfriend. Can't he see I treat Stefan as my brother?

"Would you both like to hop down from my car, Mr and Mrs. Aaron Smith" Stefan muttered annoyingly, bringing a smile to my face while Aaron looked at him widening his eyes, unable to believe that he tagged me as his wife. I chuckled and kissed his cheeks.

"You're so cute" I muttered and hopped down from the car. I took one step towards NGO but then I don't know why I started feeling dizzy. I held the door of the car for support before I would have fallen. Aaron rushed towards me and held my hand with one and kept the other hand on my shoulder.

"What happened?" He asked anxiously when I rested my hand on his chest.

"Feeling dizzy" He didn't ask anything further and picked me up in his arms. I opened my eyes and looked at his face which shows how worried he is for me. I encircled my hand around his neck and hugged him. Only I know how much I missed him. Only I know how much I crave this closeness. Only I know how much I missed his love.

I broke the hug when he made me sit on the bed. He wiped the tear from the corner of my eyes which I don't know when it fell from my eyes because of happiness. He kissed my forehead.

"Don't worry everything will be alright. Nothing will happen to you and our baby. You felt dizzy because of weakness in your body. Let me bring something for you to eat" He muttered and was about to go when I held his hold. He turned and looked at me. I thought he would get annoyed but instead, he smiled.

"Do you need something?" He asked. I bit my lower lip and nodded my head.

"Ice cream?" He asked. I nodded again, not surprised at the way he guessed my need without sharing.

"You didn't need to tell me that. I would have brought it after dinner."

"Okay," He smiled and went outside to bring food. There was a big smile on my face seeing him smiling. I don't know the reason behind his smile but it makes me feel positive. Positive that everything will be fine. After a while, Aaron came with a tray of food. I excitedly sat on the bed to see what he had cooked for me. He rarely cooked in the past for me but when he did, I always ended up eating everything alone and then I had to cook for him. He is too good at cooking. I chuckled remembering past moments.

"Remembering past things?" He asked with a smile.

"Don't tell me you remember the same thing which I did" He laughed which was enough for me to know that he too remembers beautiful memories of our past. My smile vanished when it went on the plate. He cooked fish for me. I felt like vomiting after seeing it.

"What happened?" He asked, seeing the change in my emotion. Instead of replying, I pushed him away and ran towards the washroom, not wanting to puke on his shirt. I like non-veg but after I get pregnant, I can't bear even the smell of it. It made me feel sick.

I turned my head when I felt his hand on my back. I tried to push him away as I was puking continuously but he didn't budge instead he gathered all my hair together and made a bun of it. He washed my face when I felt better and wiped my face with a towel.

"Why didn't you go when I was pushing you away?" I frowned.

"I can't leave you alone, especially when you're not feeling good," he shrugged. I rolled my eyes and looked towards the bed.

"Could you please take that fish out of my room?"

"What happened? You don't want to eat it?"

"Wasn't it obvious?" I snarled. Don't know why I'm suddenly getting irritated for no reason. Thankfully, he didn't argue and took the food plate out of the room.

Surprisingly he came back with an air freshener and sprayed it all over the room. All my irritation vanished after seeing his care for me. I went towards him and hugged him.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked. I nodded my head and inhaled his scent which always calmed me. I broke the hug with a knock on the door.

"Aunt Jennifer" I called her. She came inside with a food tray.

"Aaron especially made fish for you but then you started throwing up after seeing it. When he told me about this, I immediately brought what I made for dinner for everyone. You will like it" She mumbled. I rush towards her and take the plate from her hand.

"wow… Spicy Kale and Coconut Fried Rice." I muttered and directly went towards the couch.

"It looks so delicious" I licked my lower lip and started eating after serving it on a plate for me. I stopped eating in mid when my eyes went on Aaron who was looking at me widening his eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't ask you," I mumbled nervously and served him.

"Come join me" he shook his head in negativity.

"I was not looking at you because I'm hungry but the way you're eating food like you were starving."

"I was starving," I replied before taking another bite.

"The way you asked me to take fish away from you despite it being your favourite dish. I thought you were not feeling like eating anything." He muttered.

"It happens in pregnancy" Aunt replied before I could.

"In pregnancy, we hate to eat what we love the most and vice versa" Aunt replied in a stern tone. Don't know why I felt the air between them is not so good. There is something wrong. I looked at him and raised my eyebrow, asking him what happened. He smiled and nodded his head in negative. I nod and start focusing on my food. I didn't realise I was ravenous until I finished everything on the bowl.

"It's fabulous, Aunt" I mumbled and kissed Aunt's hand lovingly. My eyes went to Aaron who was staring at me lovingly.

"Why are you staring at me? Go and eat the fish you made"

"First you asked me to take the food which I especially made for you and now you're asking me to eat that food only. Aren't you being heartless Mrs. Aana Aaron Smith" He asked with a smirk. I rolled my eyes, very well aware of his teasing methods.

"No, I'm not being heartless. As it was not my mistake but our child who hates to eat non-veg" I muttered and tightened my lips after seeing his expression.

"Don't blame her for unnecessary things" He snarled and went outside. I laughed at the way he reacted like a child. My eyes went to Aunt who was lost in her thoughts.

"What happened, Aunt? You seem to be worried about something" I asked.

"I'm worried about you child" she replied and kept her hand on my cheeks lovingly.

"I see how he makes you smile but how can I forget, he throws you out of his house at midnight when it was raining heavily? Thankfully Stefan saw you that day. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to you and your baby" Tears welled up in my eyes, remembering the other worst day of my life. I can't forget that day in my entire life. I came out of my thoughts when Aunt kept her hand on my head.

"I don't know what is the problem between you two but remember Aana, you are carrying a child and right now your top priority is the safety of your baby" I nod my head understanding what she is trying to say.

"Let me ask Stefan if he brought your medicine or not," Aunt muttered before leaving the room. I kept my hand on my stomach when I realised the reason why Aaron rejected me.

"What if my past again destroys my present? What if I lose my child because of... No... What I'm thinking? Nothing will happen to my child... Nothing" I shook my head negatively, trying my best to think positively. I was lost in my thoughts when Stefan knocked on the door.

"Mom asked me to give you the medicine" He mumbled. I nodded my head and took the medicine with water. He sat beside me and kept caressing my head lovingly.

"I'm fine brother... Don't worry" I mumbled.

"I need to talk about something important with you"

"About what?"

"About your baby" My smile vanishes upon hearing him.

"I want you to make Aaron sign the contract stating he will have no right over your baby after his or her birth" My eyes widened upon hearing him, not expecting that.

"Have you lost your mind?" I screeched, controlling my temper for my baby.

"I didn't but you might have come into his deception. How can a person change in a few hours, Aana? Think wisely, he is pretending everything so that you come into his words and give the child custody to you" I rolled my eyes hearing him.

"I understand, Stefan, why you're saying all this but you don't know him. He loves me a lot. It was just his anger because of which he behaved like that with me but now after his anger cools off, he realised what is important. He forgot everything to start everything fresh for our baby" I muttered with a smile.

"You're naive, Aana. he is taking advantage of you" Before he could complete I interrupted him.

"Leave"

"What?"

"Leave Stefan before I say something which puts me in guilt later" I snarled and turned my head in another direction. He sighed and left the room. I clutched the bed sheet anxiously. I trust Aaron to the fullest. I know he will never do anything intentionally which hurts me.

I closed my eyes. That's when Aunt's word roamed in my mind. Somewhere her words reminded me of my past, especially the reason why Aaron and I separated. Everything was destroyed because of me. I destroyed my relationship and most importantly I lost Alice in everything. I don't want to repeat my mistake and lose my child this time.

I stood up from the bed and went outside in search of Aaron because I know if anyone could calm me at this moment then it was only Aaron and above that I want to tell him everything. Everything that happened on our wedding day.

I went to the park in search of him and finally, I found him. I halted my steps when my eyes went on Ivanna who was crying holding his hand.

"Believe me, Ivanna. I didn't forget her for her deception. I can never forget her for what she did to me. No matter how much I try. I just can't. I'm doing all this for my baby. No one can forget a betrayer. No one" Tear fell from my eyes upon hearing him.

"Aana" He muttered after sensing my presence and turned towards me.

"Aana" Before he could say something, I showed him my hand, indicating to him not to utter a word. I turned to go when my eyes went on Stefan who was behind me, looking at Aaron and Ivanna.

"Stefan" I hugged him like a little sister who went to his big brother. He moved his hand to calm me.

"Let's go from here" He muttered. I broke the hug and looked at Aaron.

"I came here to find peace but you give me another pain, Aaron" I mumbled and went directly towards my room. He was calling me from behind but I didn't stop and went directly to my room, closing the door on his face.

"You broke me, Aaron. You again broke me" I yelled and sat on the ground crying. No matter how hard we try, nothing can ever be the same between us. We can never become one. Never…
