Ishita's Pov*

I opened my eyes slowly but closed it immediately to adjust with the lights. I felt someone caressing my hair and I don't need to open my eyes to recognize the person because this touch is very familiar, it was something I was craving from childhood. Look at my misfortune, I even got this from the person whom I hate to the core. I slowly opened my eyes, just to see it from those blue eyes which were filled with worry, guilt, care and warmth and to be honest I don't want anything from him and after today's incident, I got to know his real self. He can never love me. It's his obsession, a Mystic obsession.

My eyes went to the person who was crying miserably, the voice seemed familiar to me. I decided to break eye contact. I saw it was none other than my best friend. The moment I saw her I got all the flashbacks, I couldn't help but cry harder. I got up from the couch and hugged her tightly while she hugged me back.

" Manu, are you fine?" I asked checking her properly, to find even a single scratch on her, I will kill this Alvin. When I found no injury, I was relieved but scared as well. I hugged her tightly and poured out all my grief and sadness on her shoulder. I know it's embarrassing to cry in front of so many people but trust me it was not intentional.

I too don't want to embarrass myself, but I can't help. My tears are flowing out of nowhere. I don't want to look weak, especially in front of Alvin but it's not in my control.

" Ishi, What happened to you? Did you forget to take medicine? Why did this happen? As long as I know you will never forget, have you encountered darkness again?" She asked me with concern, while the moment I heard darkness fear crawled in my body, I felt like living that trauma again. I gathered myself before I fell into the trap of illusionary darkness.

" I am fine, don't worry" I said to convince her which she barely got convinced but we can talk later there is much important thing to do right now. I can't trust this bastard. He can do anything and can go to any extent in order to harm us.

" Mr. Romano, as you can see I am not fine, arrange the contract immediately. So that I can leave" I said in a cold tone but it turned out more like order.

To my surprise he agreed with me. Am I dreaming or is he just trying to be good in front of his employees? Obviously, the second one, humanity is least expected from this cruel human being.

Soon I signed the contract. I know it's going to turn out to be the worst decision of my life but anything for my Manu. Just when I was about to leave Mr. Smith came and apologised to me as somewhere I was at fault, so I accepted his apologies.

I was about to move, Miss bella came in front of me " I hope you're fine, Miss kapoor. Please take care of yourself" She said while cupping my cheeks. Her touch seemed really different to me but maybe I am thinking too much. I stepped back and nodded while I saw some changes of emotions in her eyes, I shrugged off and moved outside with Manu.

I settled on the passenger seat while Manu fastened my seatbelt. She looked angry, but what is my fault? Why is she upset with me? She settled on the driver seat and drove off.

The car was running on streets and inside I was feeling like I was sitting in a funeral of the person whom I have killed myself and now afraid that I might get caught.

"Manu? What happened?" I asked her, gathering all my courage only to get a deadly glare and I got it, I should keep quiet.
