Hi guys. Thanks once again for the nice comments. Love reading them 😉. Okay so I was thinking it be really strange to leave this ff and finish it with loads of twists. Should I continue with it for much longer? This probably means another looong wait until I update, but I could always to try to update whenever I can in the holidays. I guess it all just depends on how much I get done before next friday... Okay, do enjoy and please comment, it really encourages me to continue. Sorry for the short update, I promise to make the next one longer!
Chapter 21
There for me...
...
[Aahana POV]
I drive to the house as fast as I possibly could. Oh please Allah, please keep my cousin safe. It was all my fault, I should have kept an eye on her the whole time. I just felt so bad, and if we never went to that party everything would have been normal. She wouldn't have ran away, we would have been having some fun.
But life was hard. I did take her to the party. Everything I think about makes me feel guilty. If something happened to her then I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I've known her all my life.
I drive into the familiar town where she used to live. Oh how many times I used to sit in my parents car, excited to see my dear cousin. A cousin that I let down. My only cousin who I trusted. I speed to her house, determined to get there before she has a chance to leave.
"Whoa, slow down," Zayn says.
"Kui? Kya hua?" I ask him.
"Kuch nahi, just don't drive too quick..." Zayn staggers.
"What he meant was, don't end up killing us please," Uday says from the back seat.
"Sorry! I didn't realise," I say, and I slow down. We soon reach the house, and I park my car. I look around and notice her car wasn't anyway.
"Which house is it?" Uday asks.
"Follow me," I say, and then I get out of the car. I walk up to what I think is Manyata's old home, and I knock on the door. A lady opens the door.
"Hello..." She says.
"Hey, was wondering if I could talk to uncle Brijraj," I say, not sure if I got the right house.
"Yes sure, come in," She says and we enter the house. The usual smell of vanilla hits me as I walk into the living. On the sofa, which his hands on his temple, uncle sits deep in thought. "Brij, someone here. She wants to talk to you."
"Moniya?" He questions, before looking up. "Aah, Aahana what are you doing here beetha?" I sat a seat on the sofa, and the other two do the same as me.
"Well you see..." I start of, and he looks at me. "Well, Moniya kinda ran away from her place and we got worried. So we thought that maybe she came here..."
"Yes you are right dear, she did come here. But she left half an hour ago," He tells me.
"Uncle, do you know where she could have gone?" I ask him.
"No beetha, if I did I would have gone after her," he says.
"Thank you uncle ji, I have to go now," I say.
"But beetha, you only just came here. Have some tea at least?" He asks.
"No uncle, I really have to go now," I say. Then I look at the guys and we stand up. Uncle also stands up and leads us to the door.
"Well thank you for coming," he says.
"Thanks," I say and we go out of the place. We then walk back to the car. Frustrated I kick the car.
"Aahana don't do that. We will find her," Zayn says. I look at him.
"I doubt it, she ran away again. What is it with this girl?" I say annoyed. Uday clenches his fists tightly, and punches a nearby wall.
"It's all my fault," He says.
"What?" I say in shock.
"Uday it's not your fault. We were all involved," Zayn says, tyring to make him understand.
"No, it was my fault. I've hidden loads of things from her. It must be horrible for her," He says.
"What exactly have you hidden?" I say.
"It doesn't matter," he says. "But we have to find her. I won't be able to live without her."
"Don't worry we will find her. Isn't that what you've been saying Zayn?" I say.
"Yup. So where could she have been? You guys said she's ran away quite a lot of times, where did she first run away to?" Zayn asks.
"To the... to the park," I say.
"Then that's where we go!" Uday exclaims.
"This is really exciting. Just a minute ago we were all worried and now I feel like I'm in a movie again. It's like we're playing follow the leader, and Manyata is the leader," I say. The others just give me a look and they get into the car. "I was only joking!" I then get into the drivers seat and start to drive towards the park.
"You know what, it kind off is like follow the leader," Zayn says in the car after a while.
"See, I told you guys," I say.
"But I thought you said that you were joking," Uday says.
"Well... I wasn't" I reply back to him, and they start laughing at me. "It's not funny!"
"It's not funny!" Zayn echos.
"Oh no..." I say annoyed.
"Oh no..." Zayn echos.
"I love you..." I say, hoping that he'd echo back.
"I love you too," He says normally.
"Really?" I say shocked.
"Yeah," He says.
"But what about that girl that kissed you in the party..." I stagger.
"I don't know who she was. Just a despo probably, or maybe a fan," Zayn says as if it's normal. Uday then coughs.
"Are you too done now?" He asks.
"Sorry..." Me and Zayn say in unison. We all stay silent in the rest of the car journey. Soon, it starts to snow and I start to get worried. The delicate white snowflakes start to cover the roads in layers.
"Do you want me to drive?" Zayn says. I first felt like saying no, but he'd probably be more experienced at driving than me.
"Yes please," I say. I then stop at a nearby side road and then we swap seats.
"Your gonna have to give me the directions to the park though," Zayn says. "I'm new here."
"Sure, but you only need to go in one direction. Straight ahead!" I say. Zayn and Uday start laughing.
"Please don't make any of those jokes, you don't know how annoying it can get," Zayn says afterwards.
"Sorry, will try to avoid it," I say. "Okay just keep going straight. And then turn right." We then go into an empty-looking street.
"Then?" He asks.
"Just park somewhere here. The parks over there," I tell him. He nods and parks into an empty place.
