"Create your own peace
and live in it"

ANGEL

.. ..

There was a different beauty in the mountains, especially at night. This beauty was so cool and refreshing that this coolness, romantically dissolved the air in the atmosphere and could turned anyone into a lover. The tranquility and crispness of the night was both enchanting and serene.

But in this intoxicating atmosphere there was someone who had a fire burning inside him. A fervent passion that set him apart from the tranquil night.

At this moment, the whole house was immersed in the darkness. A light ray of moon was coming and peeping through the window. He was sitting alone in the darkness and his thoughts kept stopping on only one point - 'Where is she?'. 'How is she?'

Suddenly, the door of the house creaked open, shattering the silence of the night. The sound echoed through the empty rooms and filled the house. His attention snapped to the entrance as his heart thumped wildly in his chest.

Sensing a presence in the hall, she stopped abruptly in her path. Her eyes fluttered with uncertainty as she looked at him and a soft frown appeared on her face.

He stared at her intently, taking in her appearance before glancing at his watch. He looked back at her as he narrowed his eyes, just like a cunning fox.

"You? What are you doing here?", She asked him, her voice was scratchy because of the cold wind.

Her button nose was red, and her cheeks had turned a pinkish hue. To him, her cheeks looked like a pair of frozen apples, delicate and chilled by the cold.

Currently, She was wearing a black short skirt and clad in a matching black top and carrying with a red crop jacket. Her hair was partly open and partly secured under a claw clip.

Despite the chilly weather, she wore minimal clothing and left half of her body exposed to the cold.

Looking at her appearance, something stirred deep within him and scratched at his heart. An obsessive string seemed to pull together, fueled his rage to soar even higher than before.

"Where were you, Divita?", He asked her, not in his calm tone.

Something was different in his voice and a hint of his shimmering anger surprised her and also tingled her heart.

She cleared her throat and said, "Nilay! You. You are here?".

Nilay remained silent and his deep eyes locked onto hers. Sunaina's eyes widened slightly as she studied his expression as she searched for clues in his gaze.

His eyes were red and his look was haggard as if he had had a fight with someone and he had also lost it.

Sunaina licked her lips nervously and frozen in place like a statue. As Nilay rose from his seat and approached her and his steps seemed calm but on the other hand, it did not seem calm at all.

It seemed as if there was a storm hidden in his calmness.

Sunaina looked at him with confusion and her voice was tinged with concern, "Nilay, is your important work done?".

She tried to break through the heavy atmosphere between them.

Ignoring her question once more, Nilay continued to advance towards her and his focus solely on closing the distance between them.

At this moment, his eyes burned with a mix of anger and disappointment that made his thoughts appear on his face clearly.

Nilay stood close to her as his gaze fixed on her petite face and his presence loomed over her like a shadow.

She craned her neck and looked at him. Nilay's head bent down slightly as his eyes bore into hers.

To Nilay, Sunaina was a kite if he could not hold onto, he would always end up losing her.

His proximity stirred hidden desires within her and caused her to glance at his lips with an irresistible urge to taste them.

Her inner devil waged war with her desires and taunted her with every moment of restraint.

Sunaina bit her lip as she was torn between desire and restraint. Her eyes were locked onto his furious gaze. Meanwhile, his natural scent filled her senses and stirred up a tumultuous storm of emotions within her.

She wanted him.

This Devil wanted this Angel.

She wanted to touch him.

Her desire burned fiercely as she craved to taste him and wanted to stake her claim. She wanted boldly to declare to the world that this Angel belonged to her and her alone.

Her wild thoughts were abruptly shattered when his hands suddenly rested on her small waist and his hold tightened unknowingly on it.

His intense gaze bore into her and caused her eyes to widen like blackberries as she looked up at him, startled.

This was the first time he touched her willingly, not out of necessity to protect her from accidents or injuries.

Her heart raced wildly in her chest and her pulse echoed the rapid beat of her emotions.

"I asked you, where you were?", Nilay asked and voice cut through the air.

His voice was tinged with a slight edge of rage that was oddly magnetic to her.

Only he knew what he felt when no one attended the landline calls. His heart was pounding frantically inside his chest.

"I went to stroll through the passage of this neighborhood", Sunaina replied swiftly and her response flowed smoothly and masked any hint of deception.

Nilay's deep brown eyes narrowed dangerously at her as he spoke and his voice tinged with accusations, "I can see through your lies, Divita".

Meanwhile, she placed her hands on his chest and felt the steady rhythm of his thumping heart beneath her touch.

The rush of emotions was overwhelming that making her elated and frantic as if she wanted to both laugh and shout at the top of her lungs.

Her small fingers traced patterns on his chest and Nilay's mind could not grasp her small actions as he was busy looking at her and lost in the flood of emotions.

Sunaina read his thoughts and tried to change the topic as she smiled sweetly and said, "Nilay Baby! Can you please touch me softly because your beautiful hands are pressing my old wounds".

Suddenly, her words broke his trances and his anger dissipated in an instant. He withdrew his hand from her waist immediately and a mix of emotions flickering in his eyes as he processed her words.

Sunaina pouted, "Hey! Why did you remove your hands from my body. I was loving your touches. Touch me again. I want to feel your touches -".

Nilay immediately placed his palm over her mouth, attempting to silence her before she could say anything more.

He took a deep breath and glared at her as his voice was firm and commanding, "Stop sprouting nonsense".

He ordered and his eyes were still reflecting a mix of frustration and confusion.

Deliberately, Sunaina licked his palm that send an electric shock through his body. He quickly pulled his hand back and wiped it and there was a mixture of surprise and irritation flashed across his face.

She pursed her lips and said, "Hey my Boo. My Whole Heart. You are a complicated man and i love complications. Woah! I'm amazing, right?".

Her playful tone was an attempt to lighten the mood and break through his stern demeanor and she succeeded because Nilay's ears turned pink the way she was calling him.

He flicked her forehead, feigning anger. She rubbed her head dramatically and played along with his mock sternness while having a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Stop calling me these stupid names. Nilay is fine. If you are not comfortable, then call me older brother", Nilay said, the last line leaving a sour taste in his mouth, though he masked his discomfort from her.

Sunaina choked her saliva as her eyes popped out at his words and thought, 'Older brother? Damn. No thanks. i have one brother and am not in the mood to get another one but i will not spare you, Nilay. If you won't accept my endearments'.

"Answer me. Where you were? I told you not to go outside and stay here but you mibehaved and was not obedient at all", Nilay asked as he still stood close to her.

'Huh? What obedient? Damn! He talk too much', Sunaina's head buzzed as she thought and did not know what to tell him. and said, "My answer is the same, Boo. I was getting bore at home so went outside for the fresh air".

Nilay did not believe her as his eyes scanned her from head to toe and questioned her sharply, "Why are you wearing so little clothes? No, wait? Whose clothes are these? You were wearing different clothes in the morning".

Sunaina bit her lip as she searched for a way to divert the conversation again. She looked at him while her mind was racing for a suitable distraction.

Before she could say anything, his eyes caught sight of something on her wrist. Grabbing her hand, he asked, "You're hurt. How did you get this wound?".

His concern was evident as he examined the injury closely. Sunaina stared at him and mentally kicked herself for her recklessness.

"Divita! I want an answer and I want to know the truth", Nilay asked in a demanding tone.

While his gaze fixated on her fragile wrist, where blue patches indicated bruising. His tone was firm, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

"Would you believe me if I told you that I hurt myself on purpose?", Sunaina asked him.

Nilay's lips were pressed together in a thin line. The girl standing in front of him always seemed to give him a headache, leaving him speechless with her unpredictable actions and words.

"How can I believe you? You always lie", Nilay said as his heart constricted at the sight of bruises.

He left her alone in the house but she went out and return with bruises. This thought punched his stomach and a pain flipped there.

Sunaina did not want to disclose her whereabouts and her actions to him.

"Then look into my eyes. What did you see?", she asked him as her voice was soft and a pinch of romance was dissolved in it.

His eyes were already staring into her eyes and without waiting for her next words, he responded swiftly in a blank tone, "Dark circles".

Leaving Sunaina stunned and frozen on her spot.

"Dark circles? You! You! Can't you appreciate my beauty? Can't you compliment me for once?", Sunaina roared as her fingers traced around her eyes.

Nilay had no expression on his face but he did not miss seeing her shock reaction. She was gapping like a fish and then a few seconds later, she stomped her feet like a child and sulked near the same pillar which she found after a decade.

His lips twitched softly as he felt the butterfly flapped its wings in his chest.

On the other hand, Sunaina stared at the pillar with her blank eyes. She forgot about Nilay's blunt words and lost in a thought, "Mother, your daughter returns to her nest now".

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Nilay who took her back to the guest room.

"Change your clothes now. I will apply medicine on this bruises. And remember I'm still waiting for your answers and other things, I don't want you to see you in these types of clothes again", Nilay said and left her alone in the room.

Her lips curved slightly upward as she said, "My Angel is so cute and becomes the cutest when he is jealous".

Sunaina removed the jacket and glanced at her bruises and murmured, "I did not lie to you, Boo. It's the truth that i hurt myself to vent my anger and quench the thirst for blood".

Flashback:- [A few hours ago]

"I want blood. I am thirsty for blood", Sunaina said as her eyes were too hard and turned red due to pain and fury that was surging and pumping in her veins.

She glared at the landline phone which started ringing again.

She marched over to throw the phone, but T-Rex intercepted her, holding out his phone.

"King is on the line," he said and his tone was serious and indicating the importance of the call.

Sunaina's thirst for blood got a distraction as she took the call. T-Rex took a deep breath as he glanced at her.

"Brother", Sunaina said as her voice was soft and a hint of vulnerability caused her eyes to turned misty.

"Naina! I am missing you", Avyaan said and Sunaina's eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

"I am coming", Sunaina said and she left the house while the landline phone continued to ring.

***

At the KHADKA Mansion:-

Rubbing her arms, she tried to warm herself. Her eyes were staring outside of the window. The evening in the valley was very beautiful. A faint fragrance was spread in the air.

There were dozens of questions flooded in her head. She wanted to ask him but his cold, threatening gazes sent chills to her.

"How did I get here? I never wanted this", She thought while staring at the fogs dancing with the breezes and the clouds.

"I feel like a caged bird right now", She whispered softly under her shaking breath.

Suddenly a familiar voice caught her attention and pulled her back to the room where she was standing alone.

"Tarana! Let's go outside. Princess is here", Jaikesh said and Tarana's eyes widened, "Naina is here. But why?".

"Buba! When did she come?", Tarana inquired about Sunaina.

"She came half an hour ago", Jaikesh replied to her.

Tarana frowned slightly and asked him, "Where is she now?".

Jaikesh stiffened slightly as his face turned pale, "In the dungeon".

.. ..

In the Dungeon:-

The chillness of the atmosphere engulfed the dungeon. The cell of the dungeon was crowded in this evening.

Everyone was aware of the situation and the mistake that was made by their teammates.

On the other hand, holding a wooden rod in her hands, Sunaina looked like at Dino whose face lost all his colors.

His one mistake hurted his princess. This thought was already choking him and now, witnessing the sight of evilness and ruthlessness in Sunaina's eyes killed him again and again.

Because all the members of the Scorpion Satan knew that T-Rex, Dino and Nora were Sunaina's wingmen. They were Sunaina's subordinate and their one mistake would lead their princess to pay the price through herself.

"Dino", Sunaina called Dino's name. He felt chills running in his spines.

"Princess! It's my fault. Please", Dino spoke and Sunaina chuckled softly as her eyes never left T-Rex, Dino and Nora's face.

Nora's heart thumped wildly.

T-Rex stared at Sunaina. He could understand her unspoken words then how could he not understand the heart of his Devil princess?

"I don't mind mistakes, Dino. But I can and I will mind everything that's related to my Angel", Sunaina said and she hit herself.

That wooden rod landed on her wrist and immediately turned red due to the pain.

There was no expression on her face as she stared at Dino with blank eyes and a neutral face.

Everyone sucked their breath.

Dino's eyes stucked on Sunaina. He wanted to stab himself.

Sunaina was punishing herself for Dino's mistake.

She loved and cared for her wingmen. She could easily forgive them but she could not forget this matter because it was related to her man who rules her heart.

"Princess! Command me. I will kill that woman named Divita. She will not be able to meet Sir Nilay ever again", Dino spoke and there was an urgency in his voice.

Sunaina laughed and she hit her wrist again and the next second, her hand swollen because of the pain.

Sunaina did not show any painful expression on her face.

Dino's eyes were wide as it was completely red, "Princess! Shoot me. But don't hurt yourself. I can't see you in pain".

"If you don't want to see me in pain, always remember what happened today", Sunaina spoke as she took that wooden rod in her another hand and with the wounded, shaky hand she tried hit herself again but it was stopped by Tarana.

"What are you doing, Naina and why? Why are you hurting yourself?", Tarana questioned her.

Her eyes were red and teary. She looked at Sunaina's hands which were red, bruised and swollen.

Sunaina looked at her best friend and smiled gently as she wiped Tarana's tears, "Stop crying, Tara. Because this pain is nothing in front of the pain my heart is feeling right now".

Tarana sobbed as she immediately hugged Sunaina and scolded her, "How could you do something like this? How could you hurt yourself? Hurting yourself is a crime, Naina. I will never forgive you for this. Don't do this and never repeat this".

Sunaina laughed as she looked at the faces of T-Rex , Dino and Nora who were looking at her with mixed emotions.

Tarana took Sunaina back to her bedroom. Sunaina took a shower, changed her clothes.

Tarana was still there, staring at Sunaina with red glossy eyes.

"Are you fine?", Tarana asked her.

Sunaina smiled, "Yes".

"Will you not apply medicine to these injuries?", Tarana asked, her heart ached for Sunaina who replied in a casual tone, "No. I'm used to this pain. It's nothing serious. Just chill".

'Just chill? Used to pain?', Tarana thought as she clenched her jaw as she knew that both Khadka siblings were crack heads devils. She wanted to put some sense in the devilic heads of them but she knew that she could not win over them.

Looking at Sunaina who was leaving her bedroom, Tarana followed her.

"Naina! Where are you going?", Tarana asked her and Sunaina stopped in her ways.

"Going back to my Angel", Sunaina replied.

Tarana took a deep breath as she did not want to poke her nose in Sunaina's matter. She already fulfilled all her responsibility, paid her debts and brutally got rejected by Avyaan.

"Won't you meet your brother?", Tarana asked and Sunaina raised her brows questioningly.

"My brother is in an emergency meeting with his team. I will meet him later", Sunaina responded.

"Okay before going back, can you please talk to him. I have to go home. My parents are waiting for my return", Tarana said and Sunaina rubbed her head.

"My brother and i don't interfere in each other's matters unless things go out of hand", Sunaina said and Tarana stared at her blankly.

Suddenly the atmosphere turned chilly as they both felt a presence around them.

Both Tarana and Sunaina turned around and found Avyaan was approaching them.

Sunaina's eyes turned red as she was meeting her brother after a few months of time.

"Bhā'i" (brother), Sunaina ran towards Avyaan and threw her arms around him.

Avyaan wrapped his arms around her and patted her back, "Naina! How are you?. I missed you".

Sunaina nodded her head and said, "I miss you too, brother. I missed you so much. I prayed for your health. I. I did. I planned for your safety".

Avyaan stared at Sunaina and understood the hidden meaning behind her words. He took a quick glance at Tarana and averted his gaze.

"Brother understand everything", Avyaan replied to her.

Tarana stared at the reunion of Khadka siblings. She felt misfit in this picture. An awkward tint appeared on her face.

"We need to talk, Naina. There's something you need to know it before it causes disturbance in our world", Avyaan's words indirectly gave hint to Sunaina who nodded her head and said, "I understand. Let's meet tomorrow, brother. I have to go back to your brother-in-law".

Avyaan's eyes narrowed down ashe looked at Sunaina who smiled shyly and replied, "I found the angel of my life, brother. I know that you already know about him, right?".

Avyaan nodded his head while looking at his sister.

"Brother! Have trust in the taste of your sister", Sunaina spoke and Avyaan rubbed Sunaina's head lovingly and said, "You have my support".

Sunaina beamed, "My brother is the best. Now, take care of my bestfriend. I don't want her to get hurt".

Sudden mention of her, startled Tarana as she looked at the Khadka siblings with her wide eyes.

"Go, dinner is ready now", Avyaan said to Sunaina who quickly ran out of there, leaving Tarana alone in the presence of the Devil.

"Were you asking for something from Naina?", Avyaan asked as his words directly filled fear in her hearts.
