"What is going on?" Hayley"s voice rang in the room making everyone to turn towards her. People present in the room didn"t know what to say to her or how can they explain this situation to her. There was dead silence in the room and each and every one of them looking at each other.Aaron reached Scott Mansion around 10 in night and he expected everyone to be in their respective rooms but he was surprised to see that everyone was still sitting in living room. There was pin drop silence in the room, n.o.body was talking. Aaron didn"t bother to utter a word and walked towards Hayley moment he saw her sitting beside Aunt Sarah deep in thoughts.
Hayley and others didn"t notice Aaron"s presence until he came to stand in front of Hayley. When Hayley felt someone standing in front of her she looked up to see Aaron was standing in front of her. She didn"t think twice , the moment this fact register in her mind that Aaron was there she stood up and hugged him with her full might as if she was drowning and he was her last hope to be saved. She didn"t mind that there was still Aunt Sarah present, she just wanted to hug him and feel safe and secure again.
At first Hayley was confused and irritated by everyone"s behavior but when Aunt Sarah told her about what those goons about to do to her, she was frightened but when she came to know Keith"s story behind his reaction back then and why he was behaving like this, she came on one conclusion that this world is full idiots who consider him as ice King and ruthless CEO.
Aaron was not shocked from Hayley"s reaction, he was expecting it but still the way she hugged him made him thankful for his decision of coming back. When Hayley felt her emotion was stable again, she let go of Aaron and without particularly looking at anyone asked "Where is Keith?" Keith had left the room when Hayley irritably asked everyone that what"s going on. To this question of hers aunt Sarah replied that he will in room next to hers.
Room next to her room in mansion was always locked as far as she remember. But she nodded her head and went into that direction.
When she reached there she saw door of that room was open and she could see Keith standing in that room. When she drew closer to him she saw Keith standing in front of a large photo of girl around 5 years of age. Having her black hair tied in two ponytails and smiling widely. When she looked around she could see the room was perfectly designed and stocked for a 5 year old girl. She saw him standing in front of that photo his eyes were moist and he was holding a doll. Hayley didn"t know what to do or say so she just stood by his side and interlocked fingers of her right hand to his left and rested her head on his shoulder. It was her way of saying I m here for u always and Keith got that message by her gesture as he also tilt his head sideways to rest it on hers.
