CHAPTER 6 - THE PAST AHAANA

Ahaana's POV:

Vincenzo closed his eyes and the doctor injected him with some medicine and told David to let him rest and go outside.

"I want my sleeping pills to sleep," Vincenzo said and David took his sleeping pills from the side drawer and was going to go near him but I don't know what got into me.

I went and snatched that pill bottle from David and threw it across the room and as it was the glass bottle, it shattered and all the pills spilled outside.

"What the hell are you doing, Ms. Ahaana? Did you lose your mind?" Ms. Sera asked me why I didn't know why I did that.

I left the room and searched the kitchen and David followed me knowing that if he didn't Ms. Sera would surely slap me again for doing that. When I finally found the kitchen, I started to do the herbal tea which I used to give him whenever he said he didn't feel sleepy. I even used to make this for him even at night 2'O clock.

"You're still the same" I heard David and saw him standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

"No, I'm not. He is the owner and the one who is going to pay me the salary. If something happened to him, who will give salary to me?" I said not looking at him directly as I know he knows what the real truth is.

"I want to believe you Buttercup but you know I can even tell the truth without even you saying it," He said and came near me.

I immediately hugged him and he too did the same.

"How are you my buttercup?" He asked and I looked at him and saw him crying.

"I'm fine, biggy. Stop crying, you look bad. How are you biggy?" I said wiping his tears.

"What will happen to me but you don't look fine buttercup," He said and I only smiled at him.

"You should have told me before leaving, buttercup," He said in a sad tone and I turned to the other side not wanting to remember old things.

"Fine, leave it, buttercup. Now, I got my best friend" He said understanding my feelings and I smiled at him.

I completed preparing the tea and he also asked me for a cup as he also loves this. I took a cup and started to walk towards the room while David followed me sipping his tea.

I went inside and saw that everyone was still in the same place and when they saw me and David, everyone looked at us confused and Vincenzo glared at him like always. I went near him placed the tea on the table and helped him sit up as I knew that he wouldn't allow anyone except me. I handed the tea to him and searched for the first-aid kit to get some ointment to apply to his burns. When I found the one, I saw him and David smiling at me while Ananya and others glared at me.

I know I need to make her understand my situation. I prepared some wet clothes and placed everything on the side table.

"David…I mean sir, wipe his back with the wet clothes first and then apply this ointment on the burns. I don't think I would have affected him much as he was wearing the tuxedo, so no need for any treatment" I said and was going to leave the room but I heard something which made my heart stop.

"Oh, I'll do that" I heard Ms. Sera saying that but what I next heard, really made my heart beat fast.

"No need, the one who spilled the hot coffee on me will apply the ointment on my back… bareback and every other will leave the room," Vincenzo said and I knew why he was doing this. He knew that I couldn't control my hormones whenever he was near me. What should I do now? My hands started to shake and my brain started to remember that day again…

Vincenzo's POV:

Everyone went outside the room and David didn't forget to glare at me before leaving the room. I was watching her when I said that she'd apply the ointment on my back. But, seeing her shaking hands, I understood that this was not going well. But, I don't have any other option than that. I need her. Only when David closed the door with a loud sound in irritation, did she come out of her trance. I watched her going near the side table without even sparing me a glance.

She took the cloth and ointment and I removed my blazer and my shirt and slept on my stomach still watching her every single moment. I guess she felt what I was doing. She shut her eyes tightly for a few minutes before opening it. I know she is controlling herself so as not to break down in front of me. I also know that I should be careful around her without my shirt at least until she forgives me. She came near me and sat on the edge of bed and I only saw hate and hurt in her eyes which are both only for me.

She started to clean my back and I must say I feel like she is back to me. I too couldn't control my tears. She started to apply the ointment but the second her finger touched my back, I knew I lost the game. I immediately pulled her near me and made her sleep on the bed. I rested my head on her chest irrespective of her tantrums.

She is trying to push me away and I can hear her whimpers. She scratched her nails on my hands and I couldn't control crying out making small whimpers and seeing her behaving like I was rapping her. She stopped struggling but I can feel that she is still crying because of her heavy breaths.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry love. Please, forgive me. Don't leave me" I said while wiping my tears with her Dupatta.

"You are harassing me," She said between tears and I smiled through heavy heart.

"You are behaving like I'm rapping you, love," I said again couldn't bear the pain because of her hateful words.

"You are" I heard her saying making me tighten my grip on her waist.

"I didn't, I'm not and I'll never. I just want to sleep on you, baby" I said closing ourselves with the duvet.
