Ruhaan's POV:

She came back. The girl I saw that day on that swing at the park is no stranger to me.

It's been 17 years since I last met her, but today, 17 years later, she is still the same innocent, naive girl I knew.

She is still that 4 year old girl who became this beast's princess, this Kishan's Mira, who was, is and always will be the only one who could ever enlighten love in a dark room, she became the only light.

Seeing her once again awoke hope in my heart that maybe, just maybe I'll be able to love again, to feel loved again. But would I be able to?

No, I can't do love. It only brings back pain. Brings back painful memories. I can't harm her. But I can protect her for as long as I can. I will keep my word.

She has been taking over my sleep as I only dreamed of her. Everyday, I hurt myself to accept that she can't be mine.

In every word, I hear her name. In every picture, photo, every face, I see her. In every song, I hear her voice.

She is in every last drop of blood in me, in my heart, she has become it's beat. She runs in my veins.

I don't know how to get rid of this. I can't let her in.

I told Abhi everything. He knows the deepest, darkest secrets of mine, and he is the only person who knows what Myra means to me, who she is to me.

Abhi became the person who put my broken pieces together again and mend me after Mira left. He helped me get through all my troubles with my head held high. He became my medicine.

He is the only person who cares for me. I don't know about love, but when it comes to him, I am ready to give my life up for him because I owe him, with my life.

I knew she would return one day, but I was not ready to know that she has forgotten me. She might've forgotten me, but I never did and never will.

Today I called her Mira. I shouldn't have, but it all just came out.

"You don't need to be scared of me Mira"

She has to be scared of me, she has to fear me, because if she doesn't, she'll be caught up in a nightmare that my life is.

{§}

I decided not to go to dinner because I wasn't sure if I can manage to have her near, yet keep a distance from her. I can't. I just can't.

I told Abhi to make a excuse on my behalf if anyone asks about me and he assured me he'll take care of it.

I stayed back in the dorm that Abhi, Francais, Seb and I share. While I had some spare time on my hands, I decided to work out a bit.

I tied bandages around my palms and fists and walked over to the punchbag, taking my shirt off over the top of my head. 

Each punch brought back a scene, a memory,

"I love you" she said pecking my cheek softly with her hands behind her back and a huge smile covering her face.

"I-I lo-v" I stuttered until the sound of glass breaking tore me from Mira's eyes.

Punch.

"Catch me if you can" I yelled panting, trying to get my breath back.

"I'll get you"

"Carefull Mira"

Disregarding my warning, she ran in full speed towards me until she plummeted to the ground, tumbling over a rock in her path.

I ran over to her to see her cheeks stained with tears. I rubbed some off until my eyes found her grazed knees which were bleeding.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to go get someone?"

She shook her head and hid her face in my chest, holding me close,

"No. I'm okay, now that I got you Kishan" she said, rushing to her feet and running off into the distance, poking her tongue out at me.

Punch.

"Can I have one more piece?" Mira asked referring to the chocolate in the maid's hands. The maid shook ber head before leaving.

Mira crossed her arms over her chest with a angry expression etched onto her face. I shuffled across the grass to where she sat in the middle of her dolls' tea party.

I took her small hand and put my piece of chocolate in it before smiling up at her,

"You can have mine too, if you want" I offered as she smiling nodded her head and wrapped her arms around my neck, giving me a warm hug full of love.

Punch.

I made my way to my single bed and waited for sleep to wash over me.

Some more 'memories' but why is Myra in Ruhaan's memories?

This makes no sense? It will later on.
