Nisha's pov

Life is complicated you don't know what the next it's holding for you , it can give you Soo much happiness that you will feel in top of the world but in next second it's snatching everything from you that when you fall from the sky it will hurt you ten times more.

My whole life I had known only one person who was my family friends and world my maa, from the time I opened my eyes in the hospital and saw her teary eyes filed with motherly love for me I made her my world .

I never saw any of my relative ever in my life it was just me and mom and then Benji , mom told me that my father left mom because of some Reason, but I didn't cared about it all because for me my mom was my world.

And then suddenly my world was laying in front of me lifeless in a pool of blood. I didn't know what should call that moment nightmare but it felt Soo much small compared to that word.

That moment still fresh in my mind like it happened few seconds ago, I was just staring at maa i didn't shouted I didn't cry I didn't run towards her because I was numb ,

I didn't know how to react, yes my nightmares was fatal but that it was far worst my mom died in front of my my eyes

When doctor said that she is no more I know that I was all alone, in this whole world I was alone with no one besides me to hold my hand, but then in a far end if my frozen mind I heard a faint voice,

"I m here."

I didn't know how maa last rites where happened because after the doctor snatched my small hope that mom will be okay I was nothing but a living death who was breathing.

I faintly remember ishaan telling me to freshen up after we reached my apartment,but as soon as I stepped in the apartment all my sense returned back to me like a reality check.

My maa was no more in this world

I won't ever be able to see her again

Won't ever be able to listen to her scolding

No one will ever lecture me to dry my hair

No one will ever feed me with their hands

No one will ever pull me in their embrace when I will have nightmares

Ben mom and I I will no longer talk about our day while having dinner

My small little world is destroyed today

I m all alone in this world without my maa

A pain suddenly started rising in my chest making it difficult to breath, I slide down on floor as the shower water drenched me from head to toe.

My dream of completing my fashion designing course then finding a small little apartment of our own and providing mom with everything which she desired is broken today.

I didn't know what happened but suddenly I felt a soft gentle touch on my cheek and my face was turned to face him , his eyes were soft and warm.

I didn't know what come over me maybe his words were only thing which I was craving, craving to hear someone saying that I can relay on them and cry my heart out and that's what I did.

I soaked myself in his warm embrace trying to hide from the painful reality and cried my heart out , those warm arms provided me with the comfort which I was craving, it gave me a sense of protection that maybe I m not alone in this world maybe I do have someone who's hand I can hold.

"Nisha."

I snapped out from my thoughts by Jenny aunty who was looking at me sadly.

I forced a smile at her wiping my eyes." Yes aunty." I asked her.

"Come and have your lunch Nisha it's already very late." She said worriedly.

Jenny aunty is a very kind lady whom ishaan has requested to look after me , as I will be all alone in his huge mansion.

Yes his mansion.

The next day we left for new York, I didn't wanted to leave that place where I have those little memories with maa but I can't stop him to because he has his life here in New York, I tried to convince him to let me live alone there but his one word shut me up.

"Whom you here in India who will look after you."

It's true I don't have anyone not any friends nor any relatives no one and also I didn't had the energy to fight with him Soo I simply let him do whatever he wanted ,

It's been five days since I have come to new York and has locked myself in this room , I didn't face ishaan after that I wanted to be alone , Jenny aunty is very concerned for me as my appetite has also become very low that sometimes lock myself and keep myself with the little memories I have with maa.

"I m not hungry aunty." I told her looking back at the beautiful garden it's Soo big that it's only garden as far as your eyes could go .

" Nisha honey this is not good you skipped your breakfast to and had a very little dinner yesterday." Jenny aunty said.

"Aunty please don't force me I will eat when I will get hungry." I told her softly and she sighed and left the room.

I heard a soft woof and I looked down to see Ben standing by the door looking at me with his big eyes.

I opened my arms for him and he jumped into licking my face, I held him securely and sighed,

I miss you Soo much maa, I thought as my tears rolled down.

Ishaan looked at the busy city from the glass wall of his cabin , his minds was fully messed up it has been six days since Asha left them, leaving not only him but a alone vulnerable girl in this world,

His mind drifted towards Nisha, after they reached his mansion Nisha locked herself up in her room , and he also got busy with his business as because of his absence there was lots of Pending work even though Jaiden looked after most of it.

He told Jenny to take care of Nisha , Jenny was a kind lady whom he rescued years back along with many others. The lady instantly agreed hearing about Nisha.

He was brought out by his thoughts by the ringing of his mobile. It was from Jenny and he immediately picked it up,

"Yes aunt." He said.

"Ishaan I m getting worried for Nisha, she is not eating anything from and even if I force her she will eat only little at this rate she will get ill , you please talk to her." Jenny said.

Ishaan pinched the bridge of his nose , he had enough Nisha has locked herself since the moment they stepped inside his Mansion and he showed her room. He wanted to talk to her but he got busy with his business.

"Don't worry aunty I will talk with her." He said.

He hung up the call and closed his eyes he had been in this situation when he lost his parents, he still could remember the sympathy look of the doctor when they informed him and Rey that their family is no more., He was just like Nisha when they were shifted to a orphanage he didn't mingle with any children's and used to insulate himself all the time but then Zoya come to their life with her angelic smile, she filled his and Rey life with happiness.

She saved you from you the darkness and what you did you couldn't even protect her even when she begged you to save her his mind taunted him , he shook his head to clear the thoughts this is not time for his self loathing, right now his first concern is Nisha , she is his responsibility and Ishaan Singhaniya was determined to protect the girl from everything which included her step towards losing herself in the darkness of grieving.

In Singhaniya Mansion

Ishaan entered inside and saw Asha leaving for the angel house, " it's good you come back Ishaan, talk to her." She said.

He nodded." Where is she." He asked dropping his coat on the couch.

"She is in Terrece." Jenny said and he nodded.

In the terrese

Nisha was sitting in the terrese gazing at the sky Benji was sitting beside her gloomily,

It must be morning there now she thought, the memories of how Asha used to scold her for skipping breakfast flashed in her mind and a year escaped her eye, her life was simple and Soo were her dreams, she didn't wished anything big from God then why this much big punishment for her.

Ishaan entered the terrese and saw her sitting on the terrese floor with her hugging her knees and, her chin rested on her knees as her eyes gazed at the starts when a single tear slide down from her eye.

" Someone once told me that sharing your sorrow with someone makes you feel light." He said loudly walking towards her gaining her attention.

She was surprised by his sudden presence and quickly wiped her eyes and looked down, she knows he was talking about her words which she told him that day in park

"I miss maa ishaan, sh-she was my everything, it's..it's difficult for... me...." She said as a lump formed on her throat making it difficult for her to breath.

Ishaan sat beside on her the floor , his legs were stretched while he supported his weight on his hand." And do you think that by crying, neglecting your health , shutting yourself from the world while make it better." He asked her and she looked at him teary eyed.

" Ishaan you...you don't understand... Everytime I close my eyes maa lifeless body in a pool of blood flashes infront of my eyes.." Nisha whispered as her eyes become teary again.

" You don't know Nisha no one can understand you better then me, after all I m the guy who lost his whole family infront of his eyes at the age of 5." Ishaan said with pain in his eyes and Nisha's head snapped towards him.

He looked at her eyes and her heart pinched looking at the pain in those mysterious dark eyes, she opened her mouth and closed it again as no words come out of her lips, she did the only thing which her heart told her to. She slowly held his rough mainly hands in her and held it tightly, ishaan was surprised by her actions, but he after many years felt warm in his heart.

" Asha maa is always looking after you Nisha and trust me she will be hurt and sad by the way you are treating yourself and disappointed In me that I couldn't even take care of her precious daughter properly, tell me won't she." He asked and Nisha nodded innocently.

" Then promise me that you will stop treating yourself like this promise." Ishaan asked and Nisha nodded.

"Okay now tell me did you had dinner." He asked, he glanced at her their hand Nisha quickly left it.

She shook her head and glared at." May I ask why." He asked.

"I..I...m not used to.. have dinner alone... before mom I and Benji always used to have dinner together talking about our day wwll8ben just used to stare at us but now... now..there is...no...no ..m.one.." Sha Sha teary smile formed on her lips thinking about the memories.

"Wait I will just come." He said left from there.

After sometime he come back with two plates of dinner and one bowl of dog food. Nisha looked at him surprised." Here I know that little buddy of yours has also not eaten anything." Ishaan said passing the bowl of dog food.

Nisha smiled light and took it from him , she placed it infront of him and caressed his head." Please have it Ben see I m also eating." She told him and he started to eat.

"Now it's your turn madam eat." Ishaan said gesturing towards the plate.

" Stubborn vampire." Nisha muttered but he heard her , he was amused by her but he thought to act strict.

"What did you say." He asked narrowing his eyes with fake anger.

"Nothing." Nisha said as she took the plate from him.

She saw that he also brought his plates and she looked at him surprised." What eat nah." He said , he was feeling a little different as today after 8 years he was eating dinner with someone, but he was okay with because he wanted her to be comfortable.

Nisha smiled at herself the thing that he did this for her warmed her heart, and at this moment for her that little gesture of him was more then anything and she knows she couldn't thank him enough.....
