"Dear God , please let me get Selected to my dream company, I promise I will curse less , also I will reduce my daily dose of junk food also....." Nisha chanted with closed eyes, Ben stared at her as if she grown a horn.

"Nisha Nisha!!.... What the hell are you doing." Ishaan looked at her like she is a alien.

"Quiet with the cursing someone's is trying to pray here." Nisha hissed with her eyes closed.

Think you can handle her , nevermind mental Asylum is not that far away Ishaan thought pocketing his hands, looking at her keenly.

" Sorry for interrupting your prayer session but we are leaving tonight for India , Reyansh parents anniversary is there Soo they are throwing a party and we have to attend it." Ishaan explained to her and she hopped of excitedly.

"You are telling me this now, You might not have fashion sense Mr.I am color blind except black, but I am not." She chided at him hurriedly going through her outfits.

She was cut off by being pulled back into his arms, he caught her hands behind her back and inched her face closer to his face," Oh really I am color blind , and who is that person who looks at me like I am a piece of meal ready to be devoured whenever I am in that same colorblind black outfits." He asked raising a eyebrow,

Nisha's eyes widened," You are delusional." She told him nervously, her attention on the non existent space between their body's, his face dangerously close to hers.

He gave her a pointed look and inched his face more closer to hers making her hold her breath with closed eyes, " Okay fine." He said smriking stepping back.

She opened her eyes with shock to see him walking backwards with a smrik on his face, " YOU..You pig..." She shouted and was about to pounce at him but he dodged her with a laugh.

"Common , I am Delusional Soo You shouldn't get affected, You know." He said with a wink, and Walked out of the room before she can pounce at him again.

"I HOPE A MOSQUITO FALLS IN YOUR BELOVED COFFEE JERK." She shouted at him, and in next seconds she broke into a hearty smile, She felt....happy..., She didn't know were they rushing to fast or taking baby-steps but She didn't care because whatever it was, she was happy....They were happy and that's all mattered to her.

"Next time please, knock me out before pulling me inside of anything that can fly." Nisha muttered as buried her face into his arms as another wave of nauseous hit her, it has been a few minutes since they landed, and from the Time the Jet took off, She has been throwing continuesly, eating Ishaan's head off, clinging to him like a Koala, Throwing Curses at him Everytime after she had a throwing Episodes, pretty much giving the flight attendant a Minor attack at her Behavior towards their Employer.

" Next time warn me how much of a handful you become with Jetleg and motion sickness." He deadpanned back to her receiving a low whine from her.

When they reached Reyansh mansion , he nudged her to wake her.

" Get up Nish, We reached." He told making her whine again and finally raise her head.

They both got out and Nisha stood besides him,

"Do I really have to meet them like a zombie, Can't I have a more presentable first impression on Reyansh Bhai's family." She asked him and he gave her look.

"We are going inside come on." He said grabbing her hand pulling reluctant her with him.

Reyansh was the first one to notice them and immediately engulfed Nisha into a warm hug.

"Congratulations for cracking the ice." He whispered to her ears , making her smile secretly.

"Wait, Why are you looking Soo pale, Don't Tell this Jerk is torturing You." Reyansh asked breaking the hug and giving a pointed look to Ishaan.

"It's kinda opposite Rey , and she has Jetleg and motion Sickness." He said rolling his eyes, and Nisha smiled sweetly at him.

"Wow You guys Reached, we were waiting for you only." Mr and Mrs Malhotra Approached them along with Reyansh's Sister Ayesha.

"Mom This is Nisha , the one I was tell you about." Reyansh introduced Nisha bringing her infront, who Awkwardly greeted them.

"Awww You are sooo pretty Dear, Reyansh told me a lot about you, That How You have The Big Bad Singhaniya dancing at Your finger tips." Mrs.Malhotra said making everyone except Ishaan laugh.

"Thank you Soo much for spreading Rumors Reyansh Malhotra." Ishaan said shooting him a icy look, who in return just shrugged.

"You guys Freshen up , I arrange the dinner until then." Mrs.Malhotra said with a smile.

Nisha was sleeping in the room Ayesha Showed her, It was already past midnight, When she heard a faint rustling near door, Grumbling she looked towards the door to see a shadow peak through the gap from bottom of the door.

Don't tell me I am having a stalker she thought annoyed , The Jetleg and motion sickness already took a toll on her and a stalker in middle of the night was a the last thing on her list tonight.

Whoever is this they are going to get a good hit from the vase tonight for breaking my sleep, non messes with Nisha's sleep and get away She thought getting up and picking up the vase beside her.

She tiptoed towards the door and sending a silent prayer yanked the door open , coming face to face with Ishaan, the vase in mid-air halted in her hand.

"May I knew what are You doing with that vase in your hand , and if You are going to say that to hit someone then I have to say you have a brain more stupid then the Stupidest person on this planet." Ishaan said rasing a eyebrow crossing his arms.

A tint if red covered her cheeks and she immediately dropped her arm behind her back,

Why do you have to embarrass Yourself Soo much Nisha....but WAIT A MINUTES She looked at him with narrowed eyes as something crossed her mind," That is not important, what important is what are You doing here." She asked him.

Now it was his turn to flush and look away, great fucking great motherfucker out of all the Damm places You have to drag Your ass here in front of her door He thought closing his eyes with pursed lips , He cursed himself in thousands of Different languages for Having the moment of dilemma of weather to knock or not.

" Nothing Go to sleep." He said trying to turn but she gripping his hand.

" Ah ha Mister You don't get to walk away while breaking my precious sleep without giving me a proper response, and remember No ignoring and hiding Things." She told him with a pointed look and he sighed.

"I couldn't....I couldn't sleep Alright , Soo I was thinking Whether You were wake...Soo I came.... nevermind Go to sleep." Ishaan said embarrassed trying to walk away again but she clutched his hand and pulled him inside closing the door.

"You know what , I was also not sleepy , Let's Watch a movie Together." She lies through her teeth and cheerfully pulled her laptop and sat on the bed pulling him with her.

He looked at her keenly knowing Damm well how pathetic she was at lying, she was sick from the morning, continuesly throwing up and whining for sleeping, and now when she was finally got the chance she is sacrificing all those just for him, does he deserve her, absolutely no.

"Let me choose a movie, which Genre do you..."

"Why do Care for Me Soo much Nisha." He cut her off without looking at her, he wanted to know, them he wanted know Soo much , what did she saw in him to go this extend.

"Simple Because I love You." She blurted out and both of them froze, If the most self-hating Award someone deserved that was Nisha , Only she knows how badly she stopped herself from smashing the nearby Vase in her head,

Ishaan felt he forgot to breath, Damm her for confessing something Soo... Dangerous Soo abruptly and simply, His heartbeats quickened At that One word, yes last time they promised to give each other a try but this is, Fuck him.

"Okay You weren't supposed to hear that , and I wasn't supposed to blurt it like that and it wasn't supposed to be......" Nisha started her blubbering of damage control but he cut her off.

"Why." He asked in a whisper, and She stopped greeting him with her silence.

"I don't know, And I don't want to know because for me there won't enough countable numbers in the universe to list you the reason why I ...I love you, i just know Ishaan that I want to be the reason of your smile, I want to hold your hand in both of our hardest phrases of life , I want to be the person whom you feel safe enough to be vulnerable , I want to write thousands and millions of poems for your eyes, I want to see those light crinkles in your eyes when you laugh , I want to see those mischievous light in your eyes and I want to see that annoyed sight of you when I irritate you. Honestly Ishaan I cannot tell enough reason to why I want to spend my forever with you." She whispered to him looking at her fingers.

He clenched his eyes shut to stop the heaviness of his breath , He was not supposed to get Soo much love. No, he was supposed to rot in hell in the pot of loneliness with nothing but his traumatic past and darkness of the future.

" I was maybe 7 or 8 when mom had my baby sister, we were returns from the hospital when our car broke down down , Reyansh and I was playing our toy fall outside Soo we both got out without the notice of our parents. Just as we got off , the car blow of up." Ishaan stopped to steady his heavy breath, and Nisha immediately got between his legs and hugged him to her chest z rubbing soothing circles on his back.

"You don't have to remember Your past Ishaan, I don't want to do anything with your past , I just want your present and future, just give me that." She whispered to his ears soothingly but he shook his head and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"I want to Nisha , you are giving everything you have for this to work and i also want to give whatever I can, I want this to work Nisha, I don't to let You down." He told her staring deep in her eyes as he hold on her waste tightened more firmly.

" We were throwed away because of the force Reyansh got knocked out, But I was wide awake Nisha, I Saw my entire family burning Alive, My baby sister whom I promised to protect till my last breath, She couldn't even look at the world." He breathed hard swallowing remembering the day which still hunt his dreams.

"We were rushed to the hospital, The enemies were still searching for us , but The Doctor was indebted to my father, he sent me and Reyansh to a orphanage in India, my father empire was taken over by the Enemy and I could do nothing but mourn my family."

" But then I found Zoyi, She was my first friend in the orphanage, No one used to talk with us , Reyansh and me were the weird kids , no one befriended us except her, She was the ball of Sunshine, sweet and protective. Soon Reyansh was adopted by the Malhotra's and I was alone like never before but she was there , always there, That was time also I meet Asha Maa. You know Nisha She was the angel of mine life always guiding me and being there for me. After Our High school I got a scholarship for abroad will she remained here." Ishaan smiled slightly remembering the few beautiful moments of past, Zoya was the like a ray of light in that dark phrase of his life , she made him believe in peace and forgiving, she made him believe that there is good in this world, if there is darkness then there is also light.

" The distance couldn't affect our bond , we're stronger and closer then ever , and I realized that maybe I wanted her more than just a friend , I wanted her with me for a lifetime, I wanted to grow old with her , I wanted to full fill each and every dream of hers and protect her till my last breath."

Ishaan felt Nisha's grip loosening a bit around his, he feel her body stiffened from the time he mentioned of his feelings towards Zoyi, he knows what was going on in her mind, insecurities. He squeezed her hand and held it tightly.

"But Destiny was never in my side, It was Reyansh birthday, Mr.Malhotra throwed a Lavish party and even arranged my travel expenses, I planned to confess my feelings to Zoyi that day. But in middle of the party Zoyi disappeared, I searched for her everywhere but I was disappointed, I was going berserk Nisha the hostel she used to stay, and then I got a call she was shouting for help , she sounded Soo Damm Afraid Nish and I could do nothing, I was Running back to Malhotra mansion to ask for help and....and I found her on the Road, I could still see her blood on my hand Nisha." His voice chocked remembering that scene, her words , her pleads for help, her last smile, her last words.

" I went everywhere Nisha, I seeked for justice everywhere but no one came forward, Who would help a orphanage Student who had nothing and that was when I realized to survive in this world you must have power, that was Time I stepped into the world of Darkness, I took back the throne of my father , I revenged the killer of my family and now I am just waiting for the day I could give justice to Zoyi." He looked into her eyes finally, to see Tears dripping from her cheeks.

She immediately hugged him," I am sorry, I am Soo sorry Ishaan, She.... She... Deserved sooo much....You deserved sooo much but...but...I am sorry." She sobbed in his neck and he was left confused as he caressed her hair.

"Why are you apologizing Nish." He asked confused.

" Because no one did." She replied looking at him.

He was surprised by her words, he smiled lightly and wiped her tears," You being in my life is worth a million of apology Nish." He said back to her kissing her eyelids.

" I have revealed my most vulnerable part to you Nisha, there is nothing in me which is hidden from you." He whispered against her forehead and she fluttered her eyes open and smiled at him.

"And I will protect your vulnerability till my last breath."

They both laid together with her head on his chest drawing circles while he played with her hairs, Ishaan felt light after opening all about his past to her, But Nisha felt whirlwind of emotions, She couldn't stop thinking how much he suffered and Even though She knows it was all past Her mind still got tangled in the webs of insecurities.

Zoyi as he called her was his first love, Was she the reason Ishaan refused to fall in love again, Was Nisha taking someone else place , She didn't wanted to be a replacement, Was she forcing herself on him.

"Ishaan."

"Hmm." He hummed, prepared that for the upcoming questions.

"Are you still in love with Zoyi." She whispered, she knows she sounded pathetic but she asked it genuinely with no hard feelings, whatever his response will be she will respect it.

Ishaan smiled," I will always love her Nish not because she was my first love but because she was my best friend, She was there for me in my everything and for that she will always have a pure place in my heart, You understand what I am trying to say right." He asked uncertainly , afraid she will not his point and get misunderstood.

She smiled and nodded her head looking at him," I do, and I never want you to forget her, and Also promise me you will give the cruelest punishment to those who Snatched her from living her dreams, you make them suffer , you make them regret their every breath." She told him unknown to the reality.

"I promise."
