Ishaan pov

Failure, the word is something I have always been familiar with, it's like a hunting feeling which never leaves , from my childhood only the only thing I have always experienced is failure, I promised dad that I will protect mom and my baby sister ,

But I failed ,

I promised Zoya to protect her, to give her every happiness which she deserved, to full fill her every wish ,

But I failed,

I promised Asha maa to not let a a single harm touch her, to always protect her,

But I failed.

Now Nisha, I promised Asha maa that I will always protect Nisha from everything not only physically but mentally and emotionally also, but I failed ,

Nisha is someone whom I might have known for only month but I always felt a protective feelings towards her because of unawares of the evilness of the world, she is a pure soul she doesn't have a ideas of the dark side of the society, I won't say she is naive just a pure innocence, she is mature but also childish, her innocence is something which always remind of Zoya though both of them are completely poler opposite , but I won't let Nisha's innocence to be destroyed by the darkness.

She was suffering all these times and I didn't had a single clue about it , was I that much careless, did I made her felt neglected was that the reason she didn't tell me anything. I m not a person of expressing feelings, my life had made me reserved person, but I tried my best to not make her feel neglected and behave as nice as possible to her but then ,

I know she is feeling guilty but I have not spoken a single word to her from morning, I have straight away came to office and busied myself with my works, I m angry at her for acting this risklessly , what if something dangerous could have been, what if it had caused any harm to her.

Tomorrow I will take her to the best Psychiatrists , I have already told Kevin to make a appointment, I myself have been a victim of PTSD and I know how terrifying it can be.

I looked at my watch to see it's past 10 in the night, Jaiden have called me to inform that Nisha is still awake waiting for me.

My jaw clenched thinking about that stubborn idiot girl , Nisha sure knows how to get on my nerves Soo easily.

I huffed as I took my car keys and headed out of the building towards my car.

Ishaan was about to unlock the door of the mansion when the burst open and he was greeted with wide smiling face if Nisha which immediately made him Take a step back.

Nisha smiling Soo wide that it made her look creepy, " hi Ishaan, you look messily handsome." She told him still smiling widely thought her cheeks tinted pink lightly.

Ishaan looked bewildered, he looked at up and down and raised his thick eyebrows in question, did she hit her head he thought dumbfounded.

Nisha slapped her head," stupid me I m blocking your way , come inside." Nisha told him stepping inside.

Ishaan dropped his coat and turned around, his eyes widened more as Nisha was standing there with a glass of water still having sweet creepy smile,

What's wrong with her, ishaan thought he knows Nisha is crazy sometimes but her overly sweet smile was creeping him out.

He took the glass from her and just took a sip when," ishaan you look Soo hot while drinking water." Nisha told him.

What the fu... ishaan chocked on his water and started coughing, Nisha's eyes widened and she immediately started rubbing his back.

"Easy easy..." She told him worried, did he got embarrassed she thought.

"Did you allergy reaction also messes with you head." Ishaan asked her as he shock was subsided.

Nisha frowned offended." Why would you say that." She asked him.

Ishaan shook his head and started walking towards his room." Come quickly, I m hungry." Nisha shouted.

Ishaan stopped." Why , didn't you had your dinner." He asked her in his cold voice.

" No I wanted to have dinner with you , you know right I don't like to eat alone." Nisha told him. From the time Nisha was here she always had breakfast with ishaan lunch with her friends and dinner with ishaan.

Ishaan clenched his fist, " well then try to learn to eat alone ." Saying this he want upstairs.

Nisha was hurt by his behavior now but she shrugged it." He is angry Nish, you can always take your revenge by annoying him later.

She made a face at the way he went and walked towards the dining area , Ben has already dozed up ditching Nisha.

She sat in the dining area and started serving herself." What did he thought that I would starve whole night for that stupid vampire, huh I don't like to eat doesn't mean I can't eat alone, I won't starve myself for that grumpy old arrogant, angry vamp....." A throat clearing sound made Nisha stop death in her track.

Her eyes widened like soccer ball and she dropped the spoon she was holding, her conscious was slow clapping for her.

" I mean A total gorgeous attractive vampire," Nisha said as heart him coming tomorrow her.

Ishaan sat infront of her and she pretended to be surprised." Oh ishaan hi." She said laughing nervously.

He rolled his at her as he served himself,

"Ishaan your nose is Soo perfect."

"Ishaan your hair looks Soo silky and shiny , what shampoo do you use."

"Ishaan your eyebrows are Soo thick."

"Ishaan your jaw is Soo sharp , can I replace it with the kitchen knifes."

"Ishaan how you remain Soo fit."

"Ishaan your voice is smooth and deep , how do you maintain it even after shouting all time like a angry bird."

Ishaan was holding fork Soo tight that he was surprised that he didn't broken it yet , these was the was things he was listening throughout the whole dinner, and top of that some more which was nothing then nonsense to him,

"Ishaan, why does bees have sticky hairs , because they use honeycombs."

"Ishaan why does a nurse a need red pen ,...to draw blood."

"Time flies like a arrow, ... fruit flys like a banana."

He stood up for his chair hanging his his spoon as calmly as he could, which shut Nisha up." I m going to sleep." He said as he walked out from there with his vain throbbing in his temple,

This one also didn't work , now cooking Nisha thought disappointed huffing.

Next morning

Nisha looked at YouTube video of poha ,aloo Puri , for herself and Scrambled eggs with french toast for ishaan.

"Okay Nisha there is nothing to worries it's easy just keep following the video , don't worry you have made Maggie." She gave herself a prep- talk.

Outside the kitchen and a very frightened looking Jenny stood with Ben who equally worried for his owner, and Jaiden who always cold face covered with slight worry, from the time they have known her that got to know one thing that is , Nisha and cooking is like water and oil.

They all were threatened by Nisha in different ways,

"If you even step foot inside, then I will give all my friends who are always crushing on you to go ahead permission to hit on you as they please."

Jaiden remembered her threat , if he hated something in his life is how girls always roam around him like bees and he was shocked himself that how a mere girl could threatened him like this who was second in command of ishaan.

On the other hand Ishaan who just entered inside the Mansion after his early morning jogging was shocked on his place as suddenly fire alarms started ringing, he saw black smoke coming out of the kitchen area and immediately Nisha's face flashed infront of his face.

he was about dash upstairs in search of her when he heard some coughing from the kitchen area and felt tugging on his pants to see Ben trying to drag him towards the kitchen area , he immediately dashed there, several bad thoughts were running in his mind.

He saw to three figures there coughing, the smoke was already reducing as the auto fire extinguisher was turned on, relief immediately floaded him as he saw Nisha holding Jaiden as she coughed .

But soon that relief was replaced by anger, he stormed towards them and immediately all three pairs eyes widened in fear," WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE." He shouted and immediately Nisha and Jenny flinched at his booming voice.

Silence

"I FUCKING ASKED YOU ALL SOMETHING." He shouted again and then his eyes fall on Jaiden who immediately lowered his eyes making his anger fuel.

Nisha saw that and immediately stepped forward, she didn't wanted them to get scolded by him because of her fault." It's my fault , I was trying to cook but......" Nisha off as she was yanked by her arm in his infront of him.

She looked at his anger filled dark orbs with her own widened eyes.

"I will ask you only one time, who.told.you. to .cook." he said calmly with gritted teeth making Nisha gulped.

"N-no one...I wanted to cook for you to-to-to make you talk to me as...as..as...a.. apologize..." Nisha said stammering.

Ishaan gripped tightned arm but he immediately loosen it once he saw her face scrunch a bit in pain and instead clenched his other free hand, he anger running ten times thousands, different image of her getting hurt while cooking flashed in his mind fueling his temper

"Do you have any idea what could have happened, you could have hurt yourself, hell even a serious injury could have happened and with who's permission you wanted to cook with who's guidance, if you know how much lack in cooking then you could have taken Jenny Aunty's help , but no you though yourself to be Soo high and listen to me very clearly you did all these for me talk with you again and in form of a sorry , then listen Nisha Ahuja I don't give a Damm about your sorry and I don't want to talk with you Soo just stop doing this kind of things." He lashed at her in anger the thought of her getting hurt was to much for him just yesterday only he got know about riskless stunt and now this.

Nisha was hurt with his words and also frustrated granted she did mistake but she was continuesly trying to apology to him but he was just shutting her off, she had enough of it, she yanked her arm off him to glared at him." Fine I also don't give a Damm about saying sorry to , I m trying from yesterday to say sorry to you and mend things but Noo you have to act like a asshole , you want to continue to act like a asshole then act like one I don't give Damm , go to hell." She told him and walked away from him towards upstairs.

Ishaan run a hand through his hair and looked at the two audiences of the drama," fuck." He murmured.

In terrace

Nisha was sitting at the small sitting area in the terrace it was covered glass covered cabin like place,

She was sitting with Asha's pictures caressing her face with fingers." I feel bad for call him that A- word maa but I was Soo frustrated maa you know I tried everything from the list I have saw in internet on how how to melt a angry person but he was being Soo frustrating, and then he also talked with me like that." She told Asha huffing.

"You know nah maa how terrifying those nightmare were to me that's why I took those medicine in the first place but then you told me to stop them and I did because at that time you were there with me to hold my hand but now maa , now I have no one to hold my hand while having those nightmares how should I make ishaan understand this, before those nightmare were bad but now after you gone the images of day when I saw your lifeless...." She stopped herself as couldn't complete it.

She felt his presence as he sat beside her, she saw him forwarding her a bowl of cereal with milk, she took him from him keeping Asha's pictures on the center table.

She saw him fidgeting with his spoon, he then cleared his throat." I..I didn't mean it." He said quietly looking away from her.

He glanced at her to see her raising a eyebrow at him, he rolled his eyes," about the part of you know your sorry and that I don't want to talk with you." He said.

Nisha nodded she knows he was poor when it comes to expressing and how much it must have taken him to express these words to her, she smiled at him her usual smile,

"Well I also didn't mean what I said. ,but yeah I do think that you are, you know A-hole but yeah a sweetheart Asshole." Nisha told him cheekily making him glare at her playfully,

He was about to say something when she started talking again." you know three years back I meet with an accident mom said that it was very horrible, I was badly injured in my head and was in coma for few months." Nisha told him her eyes had a Faraway look , she never mentioned those again as Asha told her to forget those days and that incident as a nightmare.

Ishaan frowned he didn't Know why Nisha was suddenly mentioning it but he listened quitely as he wanted to know more about her and Asha's past.

"I woke up but with a shock that I no longer remember anything about my past , no childhood memories, no idea of who I was , what kind of personality I had , what type of person I was , I didn't know anything and it was terrifying you know I couldn't trust on anyone as I didn't know who was my own who was my enemy, I was freaked out that doctor had to made held tightly like a lunatic." Nisha said chucking but it was not her happiness filled bubbly chuckle but a humorless filed one filled with pain.

Ishaan head snapped towards her, he didn't had any idea that something sooo terrifying happened to her, he didn't had any words how could something Soo terrible happen to someone as bubbly as her he could see that she was reliving those memories and he had no idea of how to console her , he just did what his heart told him to do , he held her hand silently.

Nisha was surprised when she felt his holding her hand firmly , she smiled warmly she can feel that it his way of showing her that he is there for her, his way of consoling her, she could feel the warmness of his hand in her and she gladly welcomed that warm of comfort as she held his hand.

"Then maa came I didn't recognize her to but I felt that connection from her, I felt the part of me which told me that she was someone important to me Soo when she told me she is my mother I jumped in her arms and start crying badly , then I accepted my my new life it was as if I was a newborn again, but I embraced my new life with happy smile, but it wasn't for long soon I was hit with a new problem, nightmares it was it was horrible I couldn't sleep in night, maa said that I was getting because of my accident as it horrible and that was time I first took that sleeping pill, but maa caught me just like you scolded me Soo much, and stopped me from taking them further, and instead whenever I used to had nightmares I used to hold maa's hand tightly." Nisha finished wiping a tear which escaped eye.

She looked at Ishaan Soo him in deep thoughts still hold her hand , she wanted to see his reaction after revealing her most vulnerable truth.

Ishaan looked at her and smriked."wanna grab some ice cream before collage." He asked her .

Nisha's eyes light up as she immediately jumped holding his hand," you bet, I do." She said and tried to run but he stopped her and shoved the bowl of uneaten cereal in her hands , she rolled eyes and dragged him still holding the bowl.
