Fate

19. He's Scared.

Rehaan.

It was raining pleasantly and surprisingly it calmed me yet I couldn't help myself to feel something in me twisting at the idea of Ayesha being with some other man. I am insane.

I rubbed my hand over my face and leaned back with my eyes closed and I focused on the sounds reaching my ears.

I don't know whether it was my delusion or reality but I feel like I can hear someone crying between the sounds of the thundering sky. Ayesha? I jolted straight at the thought of her crying but I relaxed after convincing myself that she was just fine before she went to her room a little hastey but not particularly happy pr sad, just fine. I heard a thud sound and this time, it was no delusion

I went stiff before I strode outside just to see my fear of her being hurt in the frame of reality. She was there, I cannot make mistakes recognising her, leaning against the wall, trying to catch some breathe and my own breathe became heavy looking at her state, I couldn't help blink hoping that she's a delusion but she wasn't. My heart leapt into my throat.

"My fucking lord!" I reached her in three long steps and saw her eyes fluttering close. Panic ran faster than blood in my veins and I was fast enough to take her in my arms in time

"Princess, what- what the fuck is happening?" I felt her leaning into my warmth but she again lost her calm when a thunderstorm echoed.

"Re- Rehaan. Wa-t-water." She gripped my tee shirt in her small fist while she tried to form a sentence and I wrapped her legs around my torso and lifted her up

"Calm down, Princess." I whispered rubbing her back while I, myself was panicking to no extent. I felt soo hopeless, soo restless that just to get her safe and sound again I was ready to give away my everything.

She hugged me tighter but her breathe never returned back to normal and I fetched a little water for her but the way she was breathing the water might not reach the right pipe instead she can choke herself. Calm her down.

I do not know anything but I wanted her calm and fine again. I made her sit on the kitchen slab but she refused let me go

"I am not going anywhere, Princess." I rubbed her back and kept the glass of water beside her when I finally felt her letting me go and heard her breathe coming back to normal, a loud thunder decided to break out and she again held me closer to herself and heart wrenching sobs escaped from her mouth

I did not have time to analyse wheather she had astraphobia or not, as suspected. I just pulled her face away from my chest and held her face in my palms not caring how cold and sweaty my hands were, but her eyes were closed

"Princess look at me.", I rubbed my thumb on her cheekbones wiping off her tears while her new tears fell on my hands as she opened her eyes and her glassy eyes met mine

"You do not hear anything but my voice, yeah?" I caressed her hair while I aimed in dark but the way her tears fell faster and sobs got louder told me that I was right

"It's ok, Princess. Everything is fine, you are fine. Nothing is wrong. I am here." I assured and she buried her face in the crook of my neck while I kept on whispering anything and everything that came to my mind. My aim was to make her ignore thundering sounds.

After God knows how many minutes she slowly pulled away and I noticed her dry lips before she could even utter request for water I brought a glass of water near her mouth and she took small sips

Once she was done I wiped her tears and she kept staring at me. She rested her ear on my chest and I realised how fast my heart was beating. She was precious. Soo fucking precious that her getting hurt is something I envy.
