The moment Vishal came out and stood in front of us, I saw Ishaan's eyes darkened. He was not in his senses. He didn't care about anything else. He would have killed him. But I couldn't see anything anymore. I know Vishal needs to get beaten up for what he did, but I couldn't stand violence. So I ran out of the auditorium.

I ran straight I don't know where, and I ended up coming to 'our' bench. I was breathing heavily again: the first sign of panic attack. I was sweating heavily. I couldn't believe that Vishal did something like that. And Ishaan, he beat him up mercilessly. Will he ever hurt me? He did once, but I think not any more. But what if he loses his sense again like this?

I was in my thoughts when someone called me from behind "Aarohi" and it was Ishaan, I know for sure. I turned around with tears heavy in my eyes. He took steps closer to me.

"Don't" I say taking a step back. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"What?"

"Don't come close. You are not in your senses you will hurt me too." I said sobbingly.

He looked in my eyes and he took steps closer to me, but I didn't step backward. I just couldn't. Deep down I needed him and I knew he will not hurt me. I needed him to hold me when I was on verge of falling apart. 

He stood in front of me and I said "I saw the way you punched him."

"Toh main kya uska aarti karta." He almost yelled and I flinched back taking two steps back hurriedly. I started breathing heavily again. Will he hurt me now? 

His eyes softened when he saw like this. He reached out for my arm but I step back. He looked down before speaking again "I will never hurt you Aarohi." He said in his calmest voice and the voice calmed every nerves of my body. 

He soothed the pain I was feeling. He looked in my eyes again which was still not convinced, because he once hurt me when he was angry. And I don't want violence in my life anymore. My parents were enough for my 20 years of my existence.

He took a step back and I thought he was leaving but instead he kneeled in front of me and looked up with his ocean blue eyes to meet my amber eyes. No one ever kneeled in front of me. But here is Ishaan. The guy who will break other's knees is here kneeling in front of me. I scrunched my eyebrows to understand what he was trying to do. 

"I would rather end my life thousands of time before even think of hurting you, Aarohi. The first time was enough for me to realize that. " He said in his beautiful voice and that was it for me to believe him. His ocean blue eyes did it again. It's full of chaos, anger, love, honesty, tons of emotions but still it calmed me down.

"And it hurts me to see you being afraid of me, and I whole heartedly disgust myself for that. I will never ever hurt you Aarohi. That's my promise." he said after a pause, still while kneeling in front of me. 

"Get up." I said in a mere whisper.  And he stood up in front of me. He took my hand and said "I'm here for you. Please let me be."

I looked in his eyes, which always attracts me. His eyes are the most captivating feature of his entire body. And I guess no one before found that out. I'm glad that I'm the first one. Everyone was too busy with his charm and body to notice such a beautiful eyes. Who will not fall for this guy? 

"Whom did you get your eyes from?" I asked him out of nowhere. Or maybe I just wanted to know the source of eyes which was making me fall for him. 

As soon as I asked it, there was a sudden loss of spark. Like he have some bad past related to it. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath and opened them again before saying "My mother."
