Dehshat-E-Ishq

Chapter 10

Here Abhaya was looking at the faraway moon while Advit was looking at his moon that was now so close to him.

Advit looked at the food in his hand and then at Mahi who was looking dismayed, he wondered what his little sister and love are planning out of his reach and smile.

"Here, have your food." Advit habitually touched her head and Mahira looked at him before looking at the food that Advit placed in front of her and said, "I am not hungry."

As soon as those words left her mouth, Advit took a place in front of her and said, "You haven't had much food the whole day and you are telling me you are not hungry, do you want to anger me Mahi?"

Mahira looked at his face and suddenly an image of a man shooting at the female she saw before flashed in her head and fear flashed on her face. She looked at Advit with the fear and her hands hurriedly touched the food tray.

"Mahi, are you okay?" Advit felt the deep change in Mahira's emotion and his intuition proved right as Mahi started eating hurriedly. He stopped her from eating holding her hand and said, "I'll feed you."

He steadily turned the tray of food towards himself and fed Mahira who didn't say anything even when he was trying to feed more than her diet. Advit's eyes narrowed a little as he stopped feeding her and gave her the pills that the doctor prescribed. Finally, he told Mahira to sleep and left the room.

As he closed the door behind him and leaned his head back at the door with the tray in his hand that was taken away by the guard who stood the closest to him.

He turned his head to the other guard and pulled a few pills out of his pocket handing it to the guard and said, "Check what are these pills for." The guard nodded and left when Advit straightened and moved to the room adjacent to his room. He entered the room and locked the door.

He looked around for a while lost in thoughts but then choose to lie down quietly to get some sleep but when has sleep come to those that needs it, his sleep was already lost in the girl next door. He wondered many times about his reunion with his Mahi, that he will let her know what her Adit feels for her, if she isn't in love then he will work hard to make her fall in love...

But he never expected a situation where his Mahi doesn't even remember him and is completely stranger to him. He could see his Mahi in Mahira but as soon as somebody else enters the room, his Mahi turns into Mahira who is confused about her own self. That unnatural fear creases those brows.

Right now, he has to first find out what happened in the past that suddenly his Mahi became the daughter of Mr. Mittal and reached Mumbai from Delhi. How did she get out of that accident alive when he himself saw that accident from his eyes where that car was burned to crisp from the blast.

"Mahi, tumhare baare mein tumse sunna chahata tha par lagta hain ki tum chhupane mein bohot busy ho." Advit said and covered his eyes with his arm, his lips turned into a smirk. His half-covered face was extremely beautiful with perfect jawline and smiling lips. However, some beauties don't make one happy but rather ends up making one fear and Advit was devilishly handsome, looking at him won't make one savor in beauty but rather ravel in fear.

With a click from his fingers, the whole room went dim and Advit slept.

-

Here, Mahi who saw Advit leaving wanted to close her eyes to sleep but those deep black eyes just made her remember the images of that lady falling down right in front of her wounded self.

Young Mahi who was beaten to limit was already lying lifeless when the woman who was hitting her suddenly left her alone and Mahi heard shouts from the outside. Mahi got up to see what was happening and then, her eyes fell on a man with deep black eyes holding a gun riddling the female with holes and her younger self saw blood flying coloring the ground in red. Her eyes saw countless people killing and that was the last scene she saw before falling down in a dark, deep sleep with her whole self-filled with blisters and slash marks.

She laid there dead to the world when somebody saved her, her eyes saw this person and she knew him. He was her own brother, Vivaan...

Vivaan who saw her limped eyes kissed her forehead as he carefully held her close to himself covering her body with his jacket and her face was pulled into his chest. Her heart sped up once they passed through someone before it calmed, and her unconscious self finally slumbered with no care of the world.

Mahira opened her eyes as tears swept off her cheeks. She wondered what her Vivaan bhaiya will say if she asked him about that incident but then again, he would still give her the same guilty look as her father and maybe he will be even more guilty. She looked around the room and checked the time to leave from the room.

"Ma'am, do you need something?" Mahira was asked once she opened the door.

"No, I want to go to my room." Mahira said as she walked out of the room and none of the guards stopped her, however, one of the guards followed her to her room and stood outside her room.

Mahira looked at this and closed her door before getting ready to leave for college. Her walking posture wasn't really standard due to her swollen leg, and she limped towards the dining hall.

Before she could walk down the stairs, she was suddenly pulled and picked by someone to save her leg from more torture.

"Pagal ho tum?" Advit said as he held her in his arms and looked towards the guard who was folloing her and said, "Why didn't nobody inform me about her leaving the room?"

"Sorry sir, we knocked on the door, but you didn't open." The guard answered with his head lowered and Advit didn't ask any more questions before he strode own the stairs with Mahira in his arms.

His arms held Mahira steadily while Mahira didn't say too much and just wrapped her hand around Advit's shoulder to held on to him for support as he walked.

He looked at Mahira and said "Kahi nahi jana hai aaj tumhe. Rest kro." And Mahira looked at him and said, "I can't."

"What?" Advit questioned and Mahira answered, "I can't rest. I have classes today."

Advit shook his head as he placed her down in the chair he usually sits and Mahira said, "I really need to go."

Advit looked at her deeply before he said "Fine, your stuff will be moved to the room adjacent to mine."

"Why?" Mahira asked as her eyes looked straight at his.

"Because I said so." Advit said and the servants served them breakfast.

"Where's Abhaya?" Advit asked and one of his guards said "Sir, Ma'am left early in the morning."

Advit nodded and stood up to leave before stopping and looked at Mahira "Eat your breakfast, then I'll drop you at college." Mahira looked at his eyes before lowering her head and nodding at him.
