Guys, can you be a bit more responsible to vote at least?It's sometimes demotivating to see how the responses are decreasing gradually. I am sorry if I am being persuasive. I just needed to say this because there was a time I used to get so much votes and comments from you all. I have given you the liberty to share if you get bored with any story. I will try to rectify. Just be clear and honest. Thank you.

"Ishita, are you busy?" Mrs. Sinha asked as she stood at the doorstep of Ishita's room. Ishita whose face was ducked into a book she was going through. Ishita's mother, Yashika Sinha was someone you wouldn't dare to mess with. Even though Ishita had been treated like a spoilt princess with her deamnds being fulfilled every moment, her mother hand been quite strict with her from the beginning.Yashika had been very possessive and protective about her daughter. Not to mention, she could do anything for Ishita. Ishita had been pretty much afraid of only one person in the world and it was her mother.

"No,I am not busy. I was just studying." She replied as she closed the book standing up from her bed. Her mother gave her a curt nod walking inside her room. Her face was all serious, no trace of emotions visible in her eyes as she stood in front of her daughter crossing her hands against her chest. Ishita slightly fidgeted her hands looking down on the ground after seeing her mother's heated gaze on her.

"You know whatever you are doing is absolutely wrong." She said after a few seconds of silence. Ishita looked up to meet her eyes.

"What am I doing? What's wrong?" She asked with confusion written all over her face.

"Don't try to act smart. You have seriously become such an insane person to put up with that guy. You are dating the boy who caused you to attempt suicide and you think it's fine?" She asked.

"No Mom, don't go there. I love Raghav." Ishita mumbled slowly.

"Ishita, I can't believe you are speaking such bullshit. You are just 20 years old girl who doesn't even understand the meaning of LOVE. And seriously Raghav? I can't believe that you will lower your standard so much specially when it's a matter of your partner." Yashika taunted her raising her eyebrows.

"Mom please, stop saying such things against him. He is not that bad. And I attempted suicide because I was stupid and naive. I should not have taken such a drastic step. It was just my reckless and idiotic behaviour because I apparently couldn't take a rejection well. Stop putting the blame on him when it's my own fault from the beginning." Ishita told her mother in defensive tone. It was probably the first time she had stood up to her mother and had denied to be threatened by her intimidating aura. Yashika snorted in mockery shaking her head.

"I can see what he is doing to you. He has bad influence on you. Just look at your attitude, Ishita. You have completely changed into a different person talking to your mother like that for some street boy." Ishita let out a frustrated groan at her mother's answer and didn't say anything in return.
