Aaron Pov's . I closed my eyes to calm myself, still not able to believe whatever happened. It was so good to hold her, feel her, and make her mine after a long time. I opened my eyes and looked at my girl who was sleeping above me with a beautiful smile on her face. It gives me a different kind of peace. I hold her passively in my arms not wanting to let her go away from me. I wanted time to stop so that she always remained in my arms like this, near me. I was just looking at her when darkness consumed me for a peaceful sleep which I hadn't taken for months. "Aaron" I heard someone scream. I turned my body in another direction and covered my ear, wanting to sleep more. "Aaron. " I was startled when I heard that voice again, this time with a slap on my arms. I frustratingly opened my eyes and found Ivanna seated beside me. I closed my eyes again and then opened them in shock, realising her presence. I looked around to see Aana but she was nowhere, instead of her Ivanna was sitting beside me. "Where is she?" I asked. "Who?" She scrunched her eyebrow in confusion. "Aana". "I can't believe this. Even in this situation where you should care about yourself, you're thinking about that bitch" She screeched. "Ivanna" I growled, fuming in anger. How dare she use such a word for my girl. She flinched and moved away from me. "I'm forgetting your last mistake because you're my friend but let me warn you for your benefit that I will n ot take a single word against her," I said and looked around in search of her but there is not a single proof of her existence. Was I dreaming about her but if I was dreaming then how the hell, I ended up in this hut? . There were a lot of questions in my head with zero answers

I look at Iva nna frustratingly. She had tears in her eyes because of my behaviour whic h I ignored as she should think before using the wrong words for my girl. "Where i s Aana?" I asked. "I don't know nor do I care. " She scr awled and then came a little closer t o me. She kept her hand on my cheeks. "All I care about you is Aaron that's wh y I started searching for you in the whol e area just after the roads were cleaned" . "That's the difference between you and her, Ivanna. You started searching for me when the ro ads were cleaned and she came out in the cold weather not caring about herself and her baby" I smirked. she opened her mouth to say something then closed it not finding anything to say. I sighed and stood up from the ground. That's when I realised I was wearing my clothes. The last thing I remember before sleeping was that I was naked and she was sleeping on top of me then how the hell I was in full cloth? Did she dress me up? No, that was not possible. "Arghh" I hold my head frus tratingly because of lots o f questions with no answer. "When I came here, you were alone and since then I have been trying to wake you up. I don't know where Aana is but I know one thing that she is safe a nd with Stefan" I tightened my fist hearing Ivanna. I look at her abruptly. "That's true that Aana leaves early in the morning in search of you but then she comes back in the afternoon and tells us that she didn't find you which was e nough to scare me. I wanted to question her but Stefan didn't let me and took her inside the room. After that I started searching for you with the police and f inally found you here" she replied. I can sense that she is not lying but then why Aana lied to everyone that she didn't find me and How I'm fully dressed up? . "In what condition I was when you arri ved here?" I asked. "You were laying on the ground unconsci ous and mumbling in sleep that you love her" She mumbled with a broken voice. "Was I dreaming, Rex?" I asked him but he didn't reply. After rejecting Aana and Alice, he stopped talking to me. "Alice" Rex whimpered in my mind and it reminded me of my conversation with Aana

I'm still not ab le to figure out if it was a dream or truth and if it was a dream then there might be a chance that Alice was alive. I know, I was fooling myself but what was wrong in it when the truth is so harsh. I wanted to deny whatever happened between me and Aana because if that incident is true then I don't know how I would distance myself from her after coming so clo se. I will die but my heart knows it was not a dream. That feeling, that moment, her fragrance, her moans everything was real. But then again a big question arose in front of me if everything was real then why was I alone in this hut? How I'm fully dressed up? When did she leave and why did she lie to everyone in the NGO? . Ivanna came to me and held my arms, she swiftly moved her hands on my arms to calm me which I didn't like obviously. I annoyingly remove her hand, try ing to behave as gently as I could, knowing that she is just worried for me. "We should go back to the NGO before the weather turns bad" she mumbled. I nodded my head in agreement. I want to go back to NGO but not because of the weather. I wanted an answer from her… I wanted to know if wh atever happened between us was real or if I was dreaming and if it was real then why had she left me alone? . After an hour, we reached the NGO, everyone was waiting for us and asked me how I'm. I answered every one with a smile but my eyes we re only searching for her. To my dismay, she was nowhere. After greeting everyone, I went towards Aana's room without caring about an yone noticing me. All I care about is her. I wanted to meet her as soon as possible and asked all the questions which were in my head. Surprisingly the door of her room was slightly opened. I was about to open it fully but I halted myself when my ey es went inside. Smile vanished from my lips. Aana was sleeping in Stefan's arms, keeping her head on his chest and maybe this scene was enough to answer all my questions. It was not a dream but she left me alone a long time ago. She again betrayed her lover but the differenc e is, in place of mine, Stefan was the one who got cheated and I was the one whom Aana used. "I hate yo u, Aana. I hate you"
