Chapter 158 Why?
Arwen didn't know why she asked that suddenly, but it was definitely something she had wanted to know all this while. Previously, she was scared of getting disappointed if he said he wasn't the one. But today ...she felt it no longer mattered.@@@@
Even if he weren't the one that night, he would still be her husband —the one she could no longer think of parting with.
When Arwen didn't hear him answer, she continued, "A month and a half back, I met with an accident at Palace Road in the East. I would have died that night if someone hadn't appeared at the right time, like today, to save me. I was in a delirious state and had no visual remembrance of the man, but I still feel indebted to him. He saved me when someone abandoned me to die. I don't know why but I feel a strange kind of longing for him, like I had known him from the past."
She paused for a second as if trying to search for a better explanation. "Same as I feel for you sometimes. Like I have known you from before. Though all of this doesn't make much sense, I am still curious if any of it holds a possibility —the possibility of you being the one—the one who saved me that night?"
Arwen tried her best to explain but there was more in her that she was hesitant to say. She feared that if she said more, she would be misunderstood. Besides, she still wasn't sure if he was the one that night.
Aiden had heard it all, but he didn't choose to respond until he found a spot to park the car. Once done, he turned to look at her, his eyes focused as if reading the faintest details of her expression.
"What if I am not the one?" he suddenly asked. "Will you still look around for him?"
Arwen never thought about looking for that person, but she did want to know who he was. "I don't know. He saved me and maybe I want to thank him for that. I —"
Arwen said all that in one breath and then stared at Aiden, searching his expression that would assure her that he got what she meant.
But Aiden looked at him, intrigued. "Are you sure?" he asked. And Arwen was ready to burst when he added, "Not even when the stranger has come to become your husband."
Arwen blinked, for a second unable to decipher his meaning. Her brows furrowed as she reiterated, "Husband?"
Aiden kept his gaze on her but didn't say any further. It seemed like he didn't want to explain it any further, rather wanted her to understand and make sense of it on her own.
And soon it hit Arwen like a wave. Her expression changed that of surprise as she asked to confirm, "It was you?"
Aiden might have hidden himself before, but he never planned to keep himself hidden for long. He had thought he would tell her the day she would ask him, but last time, in her hesitation he didn't. If she had, he would have told her that day itself.
"It was really you!" Arwen held no more doubts. Staring at him, she found herself at the loss of words. She had so much to ask him before, but now suddenly she didn't know what more to say. He was the one who saved her that night. Was it a coincidence or was it something that she was failing to decipher, yet?
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" She asked in a tone that seemed a little accusatory. "If it had been always you, why did you hide yourself? Why"
