Chapter 16
"Ayla"
Jace again called out my name which I don’t even know why.
"Why are you calling my name again? Didn’t I say I’m too ashamed of what I did? You want me to touch your feet and say ’Sorry brother for taking all of your happiness’. You want to do that right? I will do it", I said and tried taking my feet toward him.
I could see him moving backwards but still, I walked toward him until I find myself in the middle of the room.
"Ayla, what are you doing? Baby, I’m getting worried about you. You won’t believe how I was when I got the call about you." Dad again showed me his emotions but it was nothing anymore.
I’m standing in a place where I don’t trust anyone now. I have no idea what others think of me. I have no idea. I’m only fifteen years old but I keep having thoughts as if I’m grown long enough to handle myself both mentally and physically.
"Ayla, listen to me... We never hated you. Jace never hates you. Your mother never hated you nor did I so please throw those useless thoughts from your mind and come to us." he said coming forward but I stopped him.
"Never hated me? You sure ?"
Everywhere I could feel the silence kept clinging to me.
"You said you don’t hate me but I could no longer feel the sincerity. I never want to have those thoughts. I thought maybe if we change places then my situation will be better too. But it was all in my mind.
I thought if I go to a new place I will make hundreds of friends but see I don’t have a single friend with whom I could share my feelings."
"I thought maybe still I will be ok as brother often comes to me in his breaks or he sends Brother James to look after me but I didn’t know there was some hidden meaning behind him looking after me."
