2weeks later....

It's been two weeks since Ishaan meet Asha, everything was going smoothly in their life , Ishaan delayed his return to New York, he would come to visit her everyday, their life was going with happy days Asha was relieved because she saw a hope of protecting Nisha in Ishaan, while Nisha was happy as she got to meet him and irritate him everyday with her blabbering.

Ishaan many times tried to convince Asha to move into his mansion and stop doing her work but she refused.

That day was not different for them not knowing that it was the day of first step of destruction.

"Asha maa please come with me to New York." Ishaan again tried to convince her.

"But Ishaan how can I leave from here Soo suddenly." Asha tried.

"I don't know maa but I have to return to New York day after tomorrow and in no way I m leaving you here." Ishaan said with a end of discussion voice.

Asha sighed, she looked at the sky which was clouding with darkness engulfing the light in them, there was restless in Asha's heart , her instincts were telling her that something devastating is going to happen, this was not the first time she is getting this feeling it happened with her on that fateful day to.

"Ishaan what is the time." Asha asked worriedly .

Ishaan frowned and looked at his watch." It's 7:30 maa." He said he could see that she was getting tensed looking at her face.

"It's past Nisha's work hours where in the world she is." Asha asked standing up from the table where she was chopping vegetables.

"Maa stop panicking she will be coming back maybe struck in traffic." Ishaan said to calm her panic stricken self.

Asha shock her head." You don't know ishaan I feeling like something bad is going to happen and Nisha's late returning adding to my restlessness." She said looking at the sky where it was drizzling lightly.

"Maa maa calm down okay don't worry I m going to see where is that trouble magnet daughter of yours is you just relax okay." Ishaan told her keeping his hands on her shoulder while Asha nodded half heartly.

Ishaan smiled and was about to turn when Asha held his hand, confused ishaan looked at her." Ishaan can you promise me something." She asked him.

Ishaan smiled." Anything maa." He said .

"If someday something happens to me take care of Nisha, she doesn't have anyone in this world except me , protect her like a guardian , she might look like a grown up girl but her heart is soft like a child , she is way to fragile don't leave her ever." Asha said honestly.

Ishaan frowned." Maa stop talking Rubbish okay, until I m alive I will not let any scratch come on you, I couldn't protect my mom dad baby sister and Zoya but i can't let you go away from me now when I found you." He said in a dangerous calm voice.

"Ishaan no one knows what hold for us tomorrow, but I be at least relieved that my daughter will have someone beside her who can hold her when she will have no one in this world, please ishaan promise me I have already lost my one daughter ishaan and now thinking about leaving Nisha all alone in this world filled with evilness scares me to death , please promise me." Asha said with cracked voice as her eyes welled up she hold his one hand between her two.

Ishaan was bewildered seeing her getting Soo vulnerable, he sighed and held her hand." Okay I promise but just know this that nothing is going to happen to you okay." He said softly wiping a lone tears which escaped from her eyes.

Asha nodded knowing very well it's waste to argue with him, ishaan smile and left from there.

Asha sighed it's been a week already and I should tell him the truth before his departure to new York Asha decided.

Ishaan walked out of the car and walked towards the cafe in long strides but stopped when he finally saw her,

There she was distributing chocolate to some homeless kids, a amused smile graced his lips as he walked towards her.

"Byeeee." She waved them bye.

"I think you have something called mobile right Ms.Nisha." ishaan asked sternly crossing his arms.

Startled Nisha looked behind to find him standing there, she grinned at him as she stood up from her kneeling position Dusting her clothes.

"Yes I have but what are you doing here..." Nisha told him taking out her mobile but her eyes widened looking at the number of missed calls from Asha.

Nisha smiled at him sheepishly to which he glared." I come here to get you." He said.

"Awwwww you were worried for me." Nisha told him cooing knowing very well he will get irritated.

He glared at her." Not in this lifetime." He snapped at her.

"Aww ishaan no need of lying I know you have already accepted me as your friend." She told him sweetly

She looked at his face which was looking hilarious with anger , she tried to stifle her laugher,

"For fuck sakes I was not worried Asha maa was tensed about you that's why I come." He said irritated and Nisha Bursted out laughing.

Ishaan got irritated." Stop laughing and get into the car." He said with gritted teeth walking towards his car and Nisha followed him trying to control her laugher.

Thunder erupted in the sky as the first drop of rain touched mother earth wetting it's soul.

Asha looked at the pouring rain, she remembered she had hanged clothes in the building terrace to dry, she hurriedly locked the apartment door and went to Terase,

The rain was pouring heavily as Asha collected the wet clothes drenching in rain that's when her worst nightmare come true.

"It's been Soo long since we meet Ms.Asha Ahuja." Asha heard that hunting voice which was enough to make her numb.

She turned around and there she was standing with few bulky man ,one of them was holding a umbrella on her head, her face still had that lethal smrik which was enough to run Asha's blood cold.

"You know I had Soo much plans of torturing you for making me search you all these years like a maniac , and you remember right how I tortured your precious Zoya and Nisha, then think what will I do with you for causing me Soo much trouble." She said smriking coldly.

"But but I can give you a chance of chosing less painful death , tell me where you have hide our little Nisha." She said as her face turned serious.

A ray of hope bloomed in Asha's heart as she heard they yet didn't know where Nisha is, she looked up at the pouring sky silently thanking god.

"Tell us where have you hide our little Nisha ." She asked,her red hills clicking on the floor as she walked towards Asha.

Asha smiled."I will prefer death then tell you anything about Nisha." She told her calmly, Asha didn't felt anything she just felt calm knowing that this is it , but a small part of her was relieved that she took that promise from ishaan because now Nisha is with her protector and he won't ever let a single scratch to come on her.

"You ungrateful bitch , my father gave you job when your husband left you in streets and you only betrayed as by escaping with that girl." She shouted angirly.

Asha remained quiet. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths and then looked at her with a psychopath like smirk.

"You will prefer death then telling me about Nisha right , but when I will drag you with me and torture you every second ruthlessly, painfully when you will beg me for death that time you won't have any other way then telling me about her." She told Asha as her bloodred lips formed in smile like a psychopath.

Asha smile." I won't even give you that chance, but just remember you won't ever get your dirty hands on my Nisha because she has got her protector." Saying this Asha pushed herself backwards and before anyone can do anything her body crushed with the winds.

"Thank you very much for giving me the so called direction of your shortcut which only end up making us half hour late." Ishaan said unbuckling his seat belt as Nisha smiled at him sheepishly.

They both got out of the car as the heavy rains hit them Making their whole body drench.

"Walk fast Asha maa panicking Soo much for you." Ishaan told her loudly as the while walking fast towards the building as the loud sounds of rains overpowered their voices.

They both were walking towards the building when something or someone fall in front of them making them halt in their place, as a nightmare which no one would ever think unfolded in front of them.
