AARYA'S POV 

" Doll, wh...where...were..yo..you?" He said sobbing miserably. 

I hugged him more tighter wanting to disappear with him.  

" I missed you so much. I promise I will never tease you, I will be a good baby, I am sorry I left your hand..i..i...." He broke into louder sobs as he hiccupped his breathing got shallow as I broke the hug and rubbed my hand over his chest to calm him down as I realised that he was getting a Panick attack. 

" It's okay baby, calm down, your doll is here, see, look at me." I said. 

" I..i thought you left me." He said as his words broke in between. 

" No baby why will I leave you?" 

He nodded as he hugged me tightly. 

" You...yo..you will not leave me like nikky did right?" 

My mind just went haywire listening to his words. 

Who's nikky? 

Did he love someone else? 

My heart just broke listening to him and seeing him crying like this. 

" Wh...who is..she?" I asked. 

" Umm?" 

" Who's nikky aayan!?" I asked as my voice trembled. 

" You...are..are you going to leave me too?" He asked as tears streamed down his face. 

" No, don't worry." I said as I hugged him to calm him down. But the thought of him liking other girl didn't leave my mind. 

" Come let's sit on a bench." I said as I took him to a nearby bench as he calmed down. 

" Have some water." I said rubbing his back handling him a bottle of water. 

" Doll, please sit close to me." He said as I sat beside him. He held my hand as he leaned back on the bench, tiredness written all over his face. 

My heart was just sinking with so many thoughts at once as I couldn't control the overwhelming feeling taking over making my eyes water as tears streamed down my eyes as I closed my eyes. 

I felt his lips on my cheeks as he kissed my cheeks. I opened my eyes to look up at him to see him looking at me with sadness, care and concern. he cupped my cheeks kissing my tears away as he hugged me close and held my hand while his other hand rubbed my back. 

" Hey, it's okay doll, see we are together again, I too got scared without you, it’s okay. Did you also get scared without me?" He asked. 

" Yeah." I softly whispered as he patted my head. 

" Ohh, I am so sorry, I left your hand. I won't leave it now I promise." He said intertwining our fingers and tightening his hold. 

" Aay...aayan!" I softly whispered. 

" Ummm?" He responded with a soft hum. " yeah, what happened?" He softly asked. 

I leaned my head on his shoulder and shook my head. 

We stayed like that for a while as I broke the hug. 

" Come, let's go home."  

" Yeah."  

He slowly got up as he still felt weakness. His eyes were droopy as he was still tired. 

He held my hand as we walked out of the park and settled in the car as we drove back home. Till all the way his hand rested on mine which way holding the gear. 

We entered the house as we sat on the couch.  

" Aayan, go have a warm shower you'll feel better." 
" yeah, won't you take a bath first?"

"It's fine, I'll use the other washroom. "

" Ohh..okay." He said. 

We got up and went to our room as I took out our night suites and towels and handed him his clothes. 

" Okay, you take a bath here I'll go in the next room." I said as I moved to leave the room. I stopped midway as he held my hand. 

" Doll, I feel scared. You won't leave me right?" He asked as slight tears again formed in his eyes which he blinked away. 

" I am not going anywhere my love, go have a shower you'll feel better." 

" Please wait here, I'll come in a minute, don't go doll." He said. 

" Okay, okay don't worry, I am waiting here." I said as he nodded and went to take a bath. 

I went to the couch and lied down on it as my muscles relaxed. 

But my mind couldn't. I couldn't stop thinking about nikky. Who's she? He never hides anything from me. In these few months he literally told me all his memories. But he never mentioned her.  

What.....what if he loved her?  

My heart ached with the thought of him loving someone else. 

Of course he is a sweet and innocent guy any girl would want him.  

I tightly closed my eyes and shook my head, trying to forget the thing, but nothing seemed to work. 

I heard the door click open, as I looked up him coming out of the washroom with a towel in his hands. He threw the towel on a chair and came and sat in front of me on his knees. 

" Are you upset." He asked in his small baby voice nibbling his bottom lip. 

I got up without saying anything as I grabbed the towel from the chair. He sat up on the couch with a pout. 

" I am sorry doll, I didn't leave your hand intentionally, I just forgot. I promise I won't behave like a bad baby. Please...." He said. 

I went towards him with the towel as I stood in front of him and dried his hair with the towel, softly ruffling them. 

" Dollll....i am sorry." He softly whispered. 

I looked at him to find him looking at me with those tired innocent doe eyes. 

"I am not upset aayan, just a bit tired." 

"Not aayan, baby love." 

"Yes my baby love." I said smiling at him as he smiled back. 

"I'll freshen up, then let's cook some maggie." 

"Yeah, come fast, I am waiting."  

I went in to freshen up as I stripped my clothes and stood under the warm shower as it relaxed my nerves. 

I didn't realise how much time passed as heard a knock on the door. 

" Doll, are you there?" I heard his worried voice as I replied back. 

" Yeah, coming baby." I immediately turned off the shower, and wore my clothes as I came out to find him standing at the door. 

" Come let's cook something." I said taking him to the kitchen as I took out packet of maggie and put it in the water to boil. Soon the food was ready as we had it and went to our room to have some sleep. We lied down on the bed ready to have some chit chats as we always do before sleeping. 

" Doll?" He whispered as he hugged me while I hugged him back. 

" Yes, baby love?"  

" What would have happened if we couldn't find each other." 

A slight shiver ran down my spine, but I tried to lift his mood as he still seemed upset and scared. 

" So what? I would have come home and had all the cookies and played the video games simple!" I said in a mischievous tone. 

" What!?" He squealed. 

" Yeah, what else?"  

" Then I would have reached earlier than you and would have eaten all the cookies and your favourite chocolates too." He replied 

" What!? Noooooo." I said dramatically as he giggled. 

" Yeah! I would have done that!" He said giggling more. 

" Such a naughty panda you have become." I said as I sat up and tickled him while he rolled on the bed laughing and squealing. 

" Help...help....this doll is troubling me!" He squealed like a baby as I laughed. I stopped after a few seconds as our laughter and giggles still didn't subside. 

" Now your turn." He said with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he sat up and pulled me under him tickling me as we both laughed harder. 

He stopped as we looked into each other's eyes as he sighed and our fingers intertwined with each other's. 

" Doll..." 

"umm?" i hummed back

He blinked his eyes and shook his head as he laid over me and hugged me. 

" What's wrong love?" I asked rubbing his back. 

" Nothing, can we sleep like this today?"  

" As you are comfortable."  

He pulled the comforter up and covered us as he moved his fingers in my hair while I rubbed his back feeling his muscled relaxing as we soon drifted to sleep.
