Aria -Why? Why she is here.

Maria - I don't know she just arrived half an hour ago. I was about to tell you but she didn't let me and now asked you to go downstairs to her o...office room.

Aria - (I clenched my fist hard not saying anything but an unusal anxiety was sitting inside my heart. Why she was here so sudden?? And why she had called me. Whenever she calls me it is always something bad. What she is about to do now. I just stared at my lap my fist clenched tightly as i didn't say anything).

Maria - I am sorry c...child i didn't mean to hide it. But she told me not to tell that she is here.

Aria - (I look at aunt as i sighed). Why are you apologizing aunt its not your fault..You are just doing what you are asked to do. (I stand up as i took deep breathe and then aunt come to me and placed her hand on my head a way of her to comfort me).

Maria - Just try to be calm. Everything will be alright.

Aria -(I look at her as i smile sadly). You know i can't be alright now aunt. Never.......Never infront of her when she is here. And calm? Do you thing she can endure to see me calm. What's new in it?? Anyways don't think too much its not your fault. Atleast you are here to take care of me. ( She held my hands as she slowly hugged me patting me gently).

Maria -I know my child.....I know i feel sorry for you seeing you suffering like this everyday. I....i just wish i could take this pain from you b..but i can do nothing.

Aria -(I pulled away a little as i held aunt hands). Aunt we can't change anything which is written in our life right?? And i tell you this all the time don't blame yourself. Atleaset in this house their is someone i can share things with and that's you. (I wipe her tears as i smiled at her). For me you are the best person so why are you apologizing over something which you never do?? I should go now hmm. (She patted my shoulder as she spokes).

Maria -Everything will be alright soon. (And then i left her room closing the door).

Aria - (I took a deep breathe as i made my way downstairs to her office room. As i reached there i took a deep breathe and open the door. Knocking?? Na that's not what i do and i would never. A special way to enter as she knows only i have guts to come to her cabin without knocking. As i enter their she was sitting on her chair. Like she is trying to show what she was. I didn't say anything just stare at her. And then she looks at me her gaze pierced through me. Trying to understand what i was thinking . The air thickens with unspoken words. Then she spoke only one thing).

Alana - Close the door.....

Aria - (I felt goosebumps all over my all body as she spokes in that tone which always scared me. I gulp hard and calm myself as i closed the door and turn to her as i look at her as always with same hatered gaze and spoke). Didn't feel satisfied to set my books on fire that you come back again. What now?? (Then i saw that smug expression which i absolutely hated).

Alana -(I put my hands on table as i smile a sharp smile which always make a heavy impact and shows who rules here and show her place where she belongs). I was thinking that you didn't give a sharp comment when you enter. Guess i was wrong. That's not a good way to greet your mother aria........

Aria - (I clenched my fist hard as i look at her). Greet? You? In which world you are living? And anyways you never come rather than ruining something or for some purpose.

Alana - (My jaw tigthened as i look at her but i just smirk as i crossed my arms calmly looking at her). As always sharp response..interesting. I guess you know me very well nice to hear it. But...i was expecting a little happiness as i am meeting my daughter after a week. It hurts you know (i said with a clever smile. She suddenly come closer to table as she bang her fist staring at me with that deadly eyes which always make me wonder what is always going on in that little head of her's).

Aria -(I hated always hated the way she always riddle things in her fingers like she likes seeing me like these). Just tell me what's your problem first you burned m....my books and JUST WHY THE HELL YOU CAN'T SPEAK WITHOUT THAT STUPID RIDDLES OF YOURS...(I was breathing heavily as i stared at her as i speaks that but to my utterly she was calm like she don't even gives a damn about what was happening. What situation was it escalating too. She looks at me calmly as she spokes).

Alana -Done? Or you wanna say something more hmm. You know these much anger at such a young age is not good for you. I am worried you messed up your health.

Aria - (I look at her and chuckled) You? You ....worried about my health? When did you start joking huh! And you know very well that who is cause of all these. A charged glance as she looks at me like lightning in the dark and that creepy smirks which make me quite a little).

Alana - Guess i was right.You know me well like very well. Anyways i burned your books( I leaned on table my eyes never moving away from her) because i want too......

Aria -(I look at her can't believing what i was hearing. How can she even says it so calmly). Guess you couldn't endure to see that i have same hobby as dad or you....(She cuts me off as she stands up her hands on table as she leaned eye to eye level).

Alana -Don't you dare.

Aria -(I look at her as i knew i touched that nerve of her). That's why you first burn that book which he gave me on my birthday isn't it? And why you always get so tensed up whenever i mention dad. Do you think you can hide the past always .....mom.....

Alana -(I look at her that expression i knew very well what she was trying to make me spit out. But i just smirk as i spoke). Aren't you speaking too much can't endure to see me this calm or you wanna do something reckless so i can say something which you wants to hear for so many years. (I cross my arms as i come around the table and stop infront of her and she flinch as i put my hand on her shoulder which makes her always scared to death and it makes me a satisfaction to know that i had that impact on her. To make her realise that one wrong step and she is done for and then i spoke in whisper tone).You can never have that power to make me speak that words did u hear me ...NEVER

Aria - (I felt shivers run down my spine as i look at her i tremble not for the words she said to me but the way she speaks it. Because it was that tone...the tone of hers which always proves she meant what she says).

Alana -(I felt satisfied as i smirk as i can see that little twitch of her face proving she was scared that what i say i meant it). Are you scared kiddo??

Aria -( I freeze, terror crawling under my skin it just makes me fear her more because she reads me like some kind of book even though i try to hide my expression she always knows it what i am thinking, or what's going inside my brain. I look at her).

Alana - (I clapped my hands together as i walk past her). Now that's the aria i know with that expression and fear.(I look back at her as i smirk). It suits you well kiddo. Anyways i have another surprise for you.

Aria -(I turn back as i look at her . Surprise from her now what she is going to do). What do you mean?

Alana -What do you think kiddo?

Aria -Stop riddling things up. And just come to the point.

Alana -Impatient now aren't we? (I smirk as i took out my phone and spoke not removing my gaze from her).Send him inside.

Aria -(I look at her my eyes widening. What she meant by send him inside? Whom she was talking about? And who was coming?? And then the door opens)......
