•On the other side of the hotel• A man was searching for Aashmaan with the same boy who took her to the cafe to celebrate her eighteenth birthday but they didn't find her. Both of them asked almost everyone in the hotel but nobody saw her. He was frustrated because of her disappearance. The other person who called him when Aashmaan was eating her cake threw daggers at him. "Did you tell her everything?", Another person asked the boy and he shook his head negatively at the person. "No! I was wondering why you are planning to tell her the same things that she knew already", Boy asked that man. "I gave you money to lure her not to miss the chance like this, you stupid boy", That man yelled at him "She is still inside the hotel because I was at the front door and this hotel doesn't have any back door or other exits", the boy said and the other person took a breath of relief. "Good then just wait for the morning because I have to find her at any cost", That Person said to the boy
"Tell me what I do with you. Tell me what I do without you. Tell me", Neil's eyes were closed and he was recalling his lines thousands of times in his brain. "Aargh", Neil groaned mentally and emotionally he was tired and trying to find her soon. Her disappearance made a hole in his soul "It was you with me that night. I wasn't hallucinating", Neil said to himself. "I gave my first time to you too", Neil said as he closed his eyes. "Aashmaan", Neil was testing her name and her name rolled on his tongue and gave a soothing effect in his heart. "Aashmaan". Her name melted in his mouth and a small smile appeared on his lips. Neil opened his eyes as he stood up from his bed and walked towards the window. He stared at the moon which was bright like Aashmaan. He sat down on the passage of the window and covered his eyes with his arms. "I saw you but I thought that I was just thinking about you and everything looked like a scene from a movie which I was replaying again and again"
The Next Day:-"No. No. Please leave me. I don't want this. I hate you. I hate you all. Why?Why are you doing this to me? I trusted you then why did you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?", Aashmaan screamed and sobbed loudly as that boy who drugged her cake, was dragging her.That boy looked at her pathetic condition and said to her, "Listen, I don't know you but I did and still do because I got money for this. From trapping you in my words and luring you out of your safest place, Orphanage and celebrating your birthday was all a trap and a facade", That boy said and Aashmaan's mouth was wide open as she was terrified by the revelation."You lied. Everything was your lies", Aashmaan murmured and he nodded his head."Yes, I mixed medicine in your birthday cake just to make you senseless. It'll be easier for us to abduct you but our plan failed miserably when you disappeared from my sight", He stated and threw daggers at her.She stood calmly but when she watched why he was forci
At Neil's House:- The Devil carried his angel into his bedroom and onto the bed. He carefully laid her down on her back. The Devil stared at her pale and weak face, which was covered in bruises. He replaced her cheap lehenga with one of his shirts. He noticed how thin she looked. Bones poked out from her body. "I will kill every person who hurts you, Aashmaan", the Devil whispered, rubbing his cold long finger on her chubby cheeks. The devil sat in the front seat, staring at her without blinking. "What I did was right or wrong? I do not know, but you are mine, Aashmaan, and you will always be mine," Neil said, still looking at her face. He spent the entire time wondering how things had gone so wrong for them. She was nine years younger than him. He saw her for the first time in two pigtails, around the same time she got her period. He used his shirt to cover her bloodied frock. How they accidentally kissed and later became one. He remembered every detail from their past. "But
"Then? The rest, you know, Aashmaan", Neil was getting impatient with her behavior, but he controlled his increasing temper just for her. Angel shook her head negatively as Devil's eyes hardened when he noticed the blankness in her deep brown eyes, as if she was hiding something from him and he would like to know the secret. "No! tell me", She pleaded with him, and he again stared dumbfounded at her. "You were fifteen when we met again at the orphanage. It was a welcome party for me and Jun, new owners of the orphanage," Neil said. "Huh, Jun?", Aashmaan asked as she was puzzled. "Arjun! Arjun Kashyap. He is my brother" Neil said as he looked at her face and then continued to speak, "The man who came with me to save you from an unwanted forced marriage". Aashmaan nodded her head, remembering the darkest charcoal eyes. "You stole my kiss", Neil said, causing her to gasp. "No", She yelled and threw daggers at him. "It was an accident", she replied, and he chuckled at her angry
AASHMAAN's POV:- {In her POV, Aashmaan was talking about herself and Neil} I left him. I left him for his betterment. I'm sitting at the bus stand waiting for the bus to arrive. I don't know where I'm going and I don't have any destinations either but I still want to go away from here. I don't have anyone. I don't have any family. I'm wandering like a homeless person. This is my life and I'm used to it. But I never cried over this. But this time my heart is crying, shedding tears for the loss of my first love. I want him as much as he wants him. I need him as much as he needs me. But my cruel fate also intervened here and showed me the reality. Reality is bad, cruel, and broken. I'm sorry Neil but I am sick and I can't be with you. I'll be the only burden on you and your life. You're a rich, powerful, young, and handsome man. You will get anyone who is beautiful, strong, and powerful like you, not someone like me who is broken, sick, and an orphan. I'm a burden on my ow
•Flashback• [When Neil went out for important work leaving Aashmaan alone at his home] "So! Mr. Gautam SuryaNarayan, Will you tell me why you were selling off your daughter to that old bastard?", Neil asked grittedly. They gulped down in fear. "Speak", Arjun yelled at them and they trembled anxiously. Raghav was staring at the young lady who was squirming in her seat. "Oh sorry! We forgot to introduce ourselves. I'm Neil Khanna", DEVIL smirked evilly. "I'm Arjun Kashyap", BEAST said as his eyes shone beastly. "What do you want from us?", Nisha asked Neil while looking at Arjun. "Excuse me! You're not in the place to ask us but you have to open your mouth only to give a reply to us", Neil was mad and wanted to behead them. "Tell me about everything without hiding anything, Gautam. if you don't want to become a beggar then speak only the truth", the Devil said as his tone was coldest. "Aashmaan was an unwanted child", Gautam said as he closed his eyes. Devil and beast bot
