Chapter 60

Ayla's Pov:

I blow my wet hair with hairdryer as I took a hair bath few minutes ago with the help of our maid. She suggested to help me out with this too but I asked to continue her work in cleaning the house.

After dressing up I thought of going down and have some snacks. I smiled as I caressed my bulging stomach, I can't wait to hold my baby. Now that I'm getting close to the delivery date I'm so excited for him/her to come out.

Yes, finally I accepted my baby with all my heart. She/he will be my only solace. I couldn't able to hold any grudge on my baby. She/he is all I have. I'll protect her/him at any cost. I won't leave my baby like my parents did. I shook my head as it made me emotional.

While keeping the negativities aside I took my headphones and plugging it on my phone, I scrolled down my playlist while moving out of my room ascending the steps.

One hand holding the stomach and another holding the mobile. I smiled bitterly when I come across with my most favorite song. It's been so long since I listened to it.

It always reminds me of Aarav. I loved that guy so much. That betrayed who didn't valued my love. I shake as I feel my chest tightening at that thought.

After his betrayal I stopped listening to this song.

I sighed there's nothing wrong in hearing it, this song didn't do anything. It just all in our head messing it up, it's useless to hate a masterpiece just because of some asshole who betrayed me.

What to do our humans are like that, always waiting to blame something over someone. I click on the play button while increasing the volume all the while stepping down the stairs cautiously.

Whispers in the background, behind closed doors

I got myself in a mess and without you, I'm in more

Oh, I'm a little drunk now, that's why I went to war

Oh, yeah, you are my sober when I'm on the floor

Can't see when I'm fallin', losing myself

But then I hear you calling

There you are, there you are

You're there with open arms

There you are, there you are

And I run

While humming it I scroll down my mobile, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion when in my peripheral version I saw maids running towards me and also with full sounds on I could hear someone calling or more like shouting. I turned my towards the source wish I didn't do it, while turning so I took off my earphones from my ear without looking down- another biggest mistake.

I hissed when my foot got contacted with a glass piece while trying to balance in one foot, by doing so it got twisted making me stumbled a bit.

Only three steps to step down from the stairs and this has to happen.

My eyes widened when I missed my next step which made me fall on my bum and I did another mistake my keeping my left hand on the steps to prevent me from falling more, but it only made it worst. It got twisted making me scream in horror.

"Noo..!!!! Urghh... Ammmmmmaaaaaaaaa"

No...!! No...!! No...!! My baby...!! It can't be happening. I hold my stomach as I bounced on my bum for the next two steps finally landing at the bottom falling sideways all the while trying to protect my stomach as if trying to prevent it from any damage that's gonna happen.

I could hear myself screaming more loudly and so does the maids. The guards are running towards me but it was too late.

An unbearable pain shot through me, I screamed when I next fell straight on my stomach. My pupils got dilated and my brain tries to process all of the sensory input of the falling and the rushing air and the moving lights and vision area.

It all happens so fast that the average human won't have time to react and even if their muscle memory tries to kick in, they'll probably have no control over it.

I closed my eyes while crying continuously as I felt some liquid flowing through my inner thigh.

Even in that moment my hand searches for something hold on but I couldn't find anything.

At that moment all I could able to focus are my bump, bruises, cuts, broken bone, the railing and my head.

I felt someone trying to turn me as they did I lay on my back while screaming and crying profusely. I turned towards my right while extending my hand as if asking someone to tell me it's all nightmare or it's nothing.

Please god! Please be merciful! Don't take away my baby from me! He's all I have.

All I feel right now is pain, everywhere, I could feel my eyes are closing. My crying ceased as I became breathless.

Someone tapped my cheeks asking me to stay awake making me open my eyes, breathing heavily I looked around finally settling on someone from far.

"Aarav?" I whispered in disbelief as I scrunched my brows not believing what I saw before closing my eyes permanently.

Why?

Maybe Hallucinations!

I disregard my thoughts as my only hope at the moment would be that my presence of mind would return before I hit the ground so I could have grabbed the railing which would have prevented me from the falling.

Which would have saved my child.

Author's Pov:

Somewhere far away, like Ayla - Aarav also laid there motionless slowly closing his eyes while looking into his tormented eyes directly. At the moment all I wanted was to see Ayla tears gathered around the corner of my eyes at my helplessness.

I coughed out blood that are trying to come out of my mouth while doing so I look ahead making my eyes widened when I saw Ayla standing there I tried to open my mouth to say something to her all the while extending my hands to reach her.

A gasp left my mouth when I saw her coming towards me. I could feel my life leaving out of my body with my eyes opened still focused on my Ayla.

I saw her that's all I needed right now. Even if I go to hell I got my solace. My peace!

Meanwhile Arjun stepped out of his dungeons and started making his ways towards his car. When he heard someone calling him he turned around looking at the source.

"Sir, your phone" his guard gave it him.

He nodded at him saying thanks he turned around all the while checking his phone thinking his wife had called him or not.

He furrowed his eyebrows as a chill ran down on him when he saw numerous calls on his phone from his home landline.

Before he could call them back his phone rang making him uneasy.

"Hel-" before he could say something someone from other end narrated everything that has happened few minutes ago making him stumble.

His hold on his phone loosened making it hit on the ground. His eyes got teary with a thud he fall down on the ground trying to process what he heard.

Seeing him like that his guards rushed towards him making him stand back. He couldn't able to process what was happening around him. His right hand man took his phone and heard what happened making his eyes widened in realisation.

With the help of other guards he made Arjun sat on his car in the backseat while moving towards the driving seat he rushed towards the hospital where his boss wife was admitted.

From time to time he looked in the rear mirror to see Arjun's reaction but all he received was silence.

When they finally reached their destination after an hour ago he called his boss making him come out of his numb state.

Arjun looked around when he finally realised where he was he gulped down the lump while getting down the car hurriedly he rushed towards the receptionist asking for his wife and his baby.

When they didn't respond immediately he slammed his hands on the table while roaring in anger making them all flinch at his outburst.

His guards tried to calm him down but he wasn't having it. He wanted to see his wife or else he would lose his shit.

He shouldn't have left his wife's side. He regretted that now.

While trying to calm him a well aged doctor approached him making him jerk the hands on his shoulder, while doing so Arjun wince at the look of pity that was on the doctor face.

"Mr. Arjun" the doctor nodded at him making him clench his jaw tightly.

"How's my wife and Where are they??" He asked the doctor trying to control his emotions at bay that was running through his whole body. He was supposed to enjoy this day with his pregnant wife but here he was at the hospital waiting to hear his worst nightmare.

He saw him gulping down hesitating to answer, but Arjun was impatient because he already wasted so much time. When he didn't heard anything from he lost his self control.

"WHERE IS MY FAMILY" He roared again making them all flinch.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Arjun. We couldn't-" before the doctor could complete his sentence Arjun lunged forward punching him square on his face while his guards trying to seperate him from the doctor.

"Where" punch "is" punch "my" punch "wife" punch after punch he landed on the doctors face. He didn't let the doctor finish his sentence. His anger was no bound he will kill them all if he didn't saw his breathing wife soon. Alive!

The place for crowded after witnessing his brutal state. Finally after a while his guards made hold of him but he was still struggling, screaming and shouting all the while trying to get out of their holds.

He want to see his wife. The desperation was clear in his eyes everyone looked at him pitifully making him close his eyes in defeat while falling down.

"AYLAAAA" He screamed in pain while holding his chest. He couldn't able to bear the pain on his chest.

At that moment he didn't cared about his baby all he wanted was his obsession. His wife to be alive. That's all he wanted. He needs her alive.

His Soul!

His Heart!

His Heaven!

His Everything!
