Chapter 48 - Awkward silence

.

.​​

.

In between the busy city where multiple things were happening, Mia was sitting in the room of Aurora's and was brushing the hairs of Aurora which was sleeping quietly.

She kissed on her forehead and covered her with a blanket and started going away.

"Bye princess" she said with a sad smile and her blue eyes filled with sadness. She was looking like a sad poor mother who don't want to go away from her daughter.

"You are going" a soft sad voice stopped her, she looked back at Aurora who was looking at her. She realized how much her daughter needs her and she is not able to give her time.

"...." 

"....."

"I will be back soon" Mia said to Aurora who was sitting there with a sad face and was looking at Mia because she didn't want to leave her. They both were looking at each other's faces as they didn't want to go away from each other.

Mia hugged her tightly and whispered "I love you... Take care" 

Aurora nodded as she knew that she couldn't hold Mia and she said softly, "You too … don't get bully by any one there"

They were hugging each other and Mia looked at the time which was 10:00 pm. She did not know how the time flew with Aurora.

After a warm hug Mia left her and went out with the tears in her eyes.

She looked at the middle aged lady who was working to take care of Aurora.

"Take care of my daughter" she said gently and that lady looked at her. 

"Don't worry madam, I will take care of Aurora as my own child" she answered sincerely. 

"Thank you, sister"

"Always welcome" 

***

Mia went towards Lee's villa at a very high speed. She entered Lee's villa like a thief as she had never been that late there.

And now she doesn't want to look at any one because she doesn't want to answer them.

She went toward her room like a thief. She was taking every step like a soldier at the country border. And then with a great relief she opened the door of the room which she was sharing with Auden.

She held the door opener and looked in every direction whether anyone was looking at her or not , then she looked inside to check whether the Auden was sleeping or not.

She entered her ostrich's neck inside and her eyes became wide.

Because Auden was also opening the door at the same time. And both of them become surprised because of the sudden appearance of each other.

They looked at each other and their lips touched with each other and a great current flow in their body.

Both of them freeze.

Mia's pink thin lips were touching the red lips of the Auden.

They both become shocked and time stops around them. It was looking like the flowers were falling on them and the moon became big in the sky. The stars were blushing while looking at them. They were very close to each other as she could smell the light smell of woods which was coming from his body. His warm breath was touching softly on her face.

She looked at him slowly, he was looking at her with a blank face.

Her light blue eyes looked at his grey eyes and they became locked there.

She was looking in his eyes which were grey and they were deep, for the first time she was feeling warm while looking in his eyes.

"I….." Auden said slowly and this word stopped the flowers flowing in Mia's eyes.

She looked at the current situation and how close she was standing near him. She backed off and hit her back from the door.

Her whole face was red and her heart was racing.

"I am sorry… I am not intended to ….." Auden said slowly and a deep silence appeared at that place.

"It's ok," Mia answered slowly.

They stand there like some strangers who don't know what to do.

"You are late" he said to remove the awkwardness.

"Yes! Actually--"

"It's ok you don't have to give me justification. It's your life and you don't have to answer me" he said while interrupting her sentence and after hearing his warm words Mia's face became more red. She was looking like a tomato and her whole body stat functioning wrongly. She wants to dig a hole to hide herself.

And a mysterious smile appeared on the face of Auden.

*An unbiased Flash back*

Auden came home early because he was forced by an old man and when he reached there he didn't find Mia there, he waited for  3 hours in the living room alone for her . At that time he was looking like a small kid who was waiting for his mother at the school gate with the balloon face. He didn't even eat anything at that time.

When he lost his patience, he called his Personal Assistant who was sitting in the high class restaurant where a dinner cost 5% of his salary. He was sitting there with a beautiful girl who was smiling at him. That time was looking like the most precious time of his life because he was on a date for the first time and at the age of 30.his heart was crying with happiness.

'Auden called him 15 times but he didn't pick then he messaged him if he didn't pick call this time then he didn't have to come to the office tomorrow.' Poor him picked his call while crying without tears. Auden ordered him to find Mia and all the places where she visited the whole day. The Personal Assistant cursed him and then while crying he said "sorry" to that girl which made her angry like a demoness. Poor man, he was chasing that girl for a year and wanted 5% of his monthly salary. 

After looking at him that girl became angry and she threw the drink on his face and went away.

He cursed Auden " Auden I will do your ra*e one day, if you dared to destroy my personal life like this"  and then with a dull face he  searched for Mia everyplace where Mia went and all the persons she met in the whole day. What she ate, even what she smelled. He gave him all the reports with the restaurant bill and all the money he used on that girl.

-----

Auden was smiling and his heart was dancing how he made his wife fool. 

Mia looked at his mysterious smile and three black dots appeared on her face.

"Why are you smiling" She asked blankly.

He comes out from his dreams after hearing that and his face becomes normal.

"Oh! I was … I was …I was thinking of Aurora…. Isn't she lovely?" 

Mia heard the word Aurora and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"Yeh she is. She is the biggest gift I got from god. She is my life.  I am too happy of being her mother- -"

"Her mother?" Auden asked while interrupting her second time.

She listens to his question and an awkward smile comes on her face.

"Yes... mother… I am her mother, Godmother" She answered.

"Oh yes... you said it before" 

"Yes" 

Then they start looking at each other once again an awkward silence appears on his face. 

"Umm" Mia said and then became silent.

"Umm... It's too late, you should sleep now." 

She nodded her head and quickly went towards the bed and as soon as she reached there she covered herself through the blanket. She was looking like a small rabbit who was hiding herself into the hole.

***

In the middle night the lights of the room were on as always and Auden's eyes were wide open as he got a 10th kick on his face. 

"What the hell her mother ate before giving her birth" he just cursed her mother and Mia kicked him again and this time he fall down from the bed and a sound of 'Bang' appeared in the room

Mia listens to the voice and she wakes up with a frightened face.

"What's wrong" she asked and found none on the bed.

"Auden… where are you" She asked as she thought someone kidnapped Auden.

"Are you able to listen to me?" 

"Yes" a shaky broken voice answered.

She looked in the direction and then found Auden who was lying on the floor.

She looked at him and her jaw dropped on the floor.

"Are you playing hide and seek in the middle of night... seriously?"

Auden looked at her and started crying without tears.

'How can she accuse me?' he said to himself.

"Do you really think I am playing?" Auden asked with a serious face and three question marks appeared on the face of Mia.

"..." she looked at him with a blank face as she was asking for an explanation.

"You kicked me" he gave him justification  while crying without tears and once again an awkward silence appeared in the bright room.
