EPISODE 48
“Aaron, just leave me. I will only hinder your speed. You should-” Kizy was still speaking when she felt warmth near her shoulder region.
It didn’t take her much time before realising what it was.
“Aaron you are bleeding a lot!!” Kizy exclaimed, not knowing what actually happened.
“Shhh baby girl. I am all right.” Aaron said, his voice vibrating from pain.
“No Aaron, leave me and run away. This way, both of us would be captured.” Kizy said, trying to move, but it only made Aaron groan from pain.
“Don’t move.” Was the only thing he managed to speak.
But he could feel that the professor’s men were near to him, and would catch up with them anytime soon.
Thus, without any option remaining, he ran behind a huge tree, which was covered by three huge rocks beside it.
He gently placed Kizy between the rock and tree, making it unable for others to see her, unless they would come and search for her.
“Go run now.” Kizy said, thinking that Aaron was leaving her, and running away.
For a second, she felt a mixture of emotions.
Though she didn’t want to be captured and brought back to the Imperial Nation, she knew that her condition would be much better from Aaron. She could not even imagine the amount of pain and torture that was inflicted upon Aaron for the past few weeks.
Though she h@tëd Aaron, for harming Markus, for planning grandpa’s death, for forcing himself upon her, for all of his other bad deeds, she never wanted him to fall into the professor’s hand.
Thus, even now, when she thought that Aaron would leave her behind and run away, she wasn’t feeling bad about it.
“Don’t make any noise. No matter what you hear, just stay quiet.” Aaron said, placing his index finger over her lips, while with the other hand, he gave back Kizy’s gun to her, placing it upon her lap.
“But Aaro-” Kizy was still speaking but Aaron sushed her.
“I love you.” He said, his index finger still covering her lips, while he bent and hugged her as gently as he could, tears visible in his eyes.
Kizy could feel that his voice was breaking at the end, as if he was about to cry. She was about to touch his blurred face, when his finger left her lips, holding her hand gently. He caressed them, before finally going away, leaving a confused Kizy behind.
“Aaro-” She was about to speak when she heard hurried footsteps approaching her and shut her mouth, remembering what Aaron had told her.
She just held her right shoulder with the left hand, trying to keep in place as much as she could, while resting her head on the tree bark behind her, hoping they wouldn’t catch Aaron and someone could rescue her.
And the worst part about this was that she couldn’t see anything clearly, making her unable to do anything about her own situation. Not being able to do anything and remaining helpless – this was exactly the feeling that she never liked, but she had no way out right now.
‘Will Markus be alright? Did Aaron also save his life like mine? Maybe Aaron didn’t truly change, but was trying to help us from the professor.
But he h@tës Markus. Aahhh! Hope this thing is sorted and over soon. I just wish that all of us are safe.’ Kizy thought, no more hating Aaron.
She could see that Aaron had already planned their escape from the helicopter. They had landed exactly in a relatively safer region, with minimal scratches.
After that, they were running towards the base direction, where he was sure that Markus’s men would be waiting. Now that she started watching all these scenes from a different point of view, she could see that Aaron didn’t plan this to obey the professor.
Instead he was doing everything in his power to not let the professor succeed with his mission.
She was still thinking, praying that he would reach a safer place, or meet Markus’s men and bring rescue, when she heard a man speak.
“Look he is sitting there.” The man said.
Aaron, who was supposed to run away, had run in the wrong direction purposely, to make the men go away from Kizy.
But after running for a few steps, his leg could no longer sustain, making him fall on the leaf covered ground.
He turned back, and was happy to see that he had somehow managed to walk at least fifty steps from the place where Kizy was hidden.
Though he couldn’t save her till the last, he could at least misguide the men and stall them, giving Markus’s men enough time to reach here.
With this thought, he closed his eyes, a sad but satisfied smile visible on his face, especially remembering the last moments he had spent with Kizy, her warmth still lingering on his hands, her smell still present around him.
‘Wish I would be born again. But then I want you to love me and only me. A world belonging to only both of us, with no one to worry about. A world where we could spend an entire life together, the way we spent our few days, while growing old, and breathing our last breaths in each other’s embrace. Will you be my woman in the next life?’ Aaron thought while sitting there alone, foolishly smiling, imagining their world together while awaiting his death, knowing that he couldn’t survive anymore.
He had understood that she must have hurted her head, resulting in blurring of her vision, which was why she looked so confused and blank, trying to search his face even when he was standing right in front of her.
But this was also the reason why he had left her without any worry in between the rocks.
Kizy couldn’t see anything clearly, thus she won’t move recklessly that too with a sprained ankle, especially knowing that the professor’s men were present around. Plus he had left the gun, wishing she would protect herself if the situation truly arose.
He was sitting leisurely, trying to remember and feel every single second he had spent with Kizy, when suddenly a dagger pierced his back from behind.
“Arrrghhh!” He shouted from pain.
“Why? Don’t you wanna run anymore?” The man asked.
But Aaron was not in the state to reply, he had already lost a lot of blood from his leg and abdominal wound, especially when he was carrying Kizy.
He felt completely weak, his energy drained, while another dagger had pierced him from the back.
“How dare you betray the professor?” A man said, punching Aaron directly in the face, making his nose bleed.
“Where is she?” Another man asked, the three of them surrounding Aaron from all sides.
But Aaron didn’t reply to them at all.
The men were already impatient enough, plus with the sudden obstruction in their almost succeeding mission, how could they tolerate Aaron’s silence.
Thus one of them kicked Aaron harshly, making him fall head on the ground.
“He asked you something. Where is she?” He said angrily, pressing his foot over Aaron’s earlier bloody wound.
Aaron shouted even more from pain, but didn’t utter a single word.
The men, angry from Aaron’s behaviour started beating him with even more force, kicking and punching him, hitting him over his already wounded places, making Aaron shriek and groan from pain, but he never opened his mouth even once to disclose Kizy’s information.
“You won’t understand it the easier way right? Fine. Let’s make him experience hell now.” A man said, taking out the dagger he had pierced Aaron with, and piercing it back in the same place, a little lower than its original stab.
Aaron shrieked loudly like an animal, but the man didn’t stop. He removed the dagger once again, only to stab it back in Aaron’s back.
The man was about to remove the blade for the third time, when suddenly a bullet shot right through his head, passing from one side to the other, exploding his head with the impact with the man dying on the spot.
The two men were immediately on high alert, looking back and forth, searching for some signs of the attacker but they couldn’t.
Meanwhile Kizy, who had shot the man, hid back, trying to remain as silent as she could.
She had heard the men when they were torturing Aaron.
She could make out a blurry figure stabbing Aaron again and again from the place she was hiding.
Using her blurred vision along with heightened sense of hearing, and left hand instead of right one, Kizy accurately shot him in the head, killing him with one single shot.
But she knew that both he and Aaron were not in their best states, and will have to wait till someone arrives. Therefore she instantly hid behind the rocks again once she was done shooting.
She had initially thought that Aaron had left to find someone for help and thus kept her hidden. But she now understood that he was trying to mislead those men, by staying at some nearby place in a different direction.
“Stay alert.” Both the men said to each other, while giving a meaningful look while looking everywhere.
But even after staying there for five minutes like that, there was no movement from the other side.
Meanwhile Aaron would occasionally look in all directions, fleetingly glancing towards the direction he had left Kizy to check whether she was completely hidden or not.
But he was truly amazed and thankful to Kizy for the one shot. Though he knew that he would die sooner or later, Kizy saving him even in such a state was truly an exceptional feeling for him.
He was thinking of some way to twist this plan, when one of the men signalled the other.
The second man quietly came towards Aaron, before stabbing him again, making Aaron suddenly scream loudly.
Kizy, who had thought that the men would do something different, was shocked to realise that they were once again hitting Aaron.
But she also knew that this might be a trap to make her reveal herself and her hidden position.
She was cursing her bad luck for losing her eyesight at such bad timing. She was still contemplating over what she should do when she heard Aaron’s shriek when he was stabbed once again.
Finally, she could no longer tolerate and came out of the rocks with much difficulty, shooting towards the blurry figures. But she only managed to shoot in the abdomen, which was useless as the man was wearing a bulletproof vest.
“Don’t shoot. Professor wants her alive and unharmed!” The man immediately warned the second one who had pointed his gun at Kizy.
“Go back Kizy! Run away!!” Aaron shouted from the ground, feeling sad as Kizy had to leave the safe place for him because he wasn’t able to protect her till the end.
“You both, go away from him, or I’ll kill you both.” Kizy said, pointing the gun towards one man, his figure appearing nothing more than a blurred black moving thing.
The man walked 3-4 steps back, looking at each other.
Their leader had betrayed them, while others were already dead.
On top of this, the professor never let his men live, if they had run away or came back bringing news of failures to him.
Therefore both the men gave each other a look, nodding at the same time, before running towards the nearby trees, hoping that at least one out of them would succeed in bringing Kizy back to Imperial Nation.
But this thing exactly worked, as Kizy couldn’t properly make out their figures now, especially when they were hiding behind trees and running speedily.
Aaron immediately understood what these men were trying to do.
“Kizy!! Turn back and run away!!” He shouted.
Kizy, who could only see Aaron’s body on the ground, was confused about what to do.
Neither could she save Aaron, nor could she kill the two people blindly. With no option left, she thought it was better to stay here and try shooting those men, instead of running blankly without any direction to go and getting caught because of running slowly.
She kept standing on her position, gun loaded and pointed straight to kill whoever entered this area.
“BANG!!”
