Ruhaan's POV:

Flashback:
Mira and I were playing tiggy when she said she wanted to have a tea party with her dolls. Fuming in anger, I stopped chasing her, and in amidst the moment, words slipped from my mouth,

"I hate you" I said.

She came closer to me and stood on her tippy toes with her hands behind her back,

"I love you too" she whispered, kissing me on the cheek before running off into the distance.

My hands trailed over my skin where moments before her rosy lips were. After a moment, I began chasing her once again.

Flashback ends.

"So you smile too?" Abhi asked from beside me, as I succumbed my smile.

"Yeah, I smile, and guess what, I have a heart too."

"You do? Now that's a miracle" he said before the wheels screeched the pavement to the penthouse building.

I had spent a lot of time here. This has become my home since the day my mum.. it just became home.

I only went back to the mansion I once knew as home to pick money off of the bed in my room, other than that, I have nothing to go there for. Just money.

{§}

I opened the door and picked Mira in bridal style and headed for the building with Abhi walking in front of me. He pressed the button for the elevator, and it opened and closed behind us.

I pressed the number 22 and waited for the elevator to stop at the floor. I walked out and told Abhi to grab the keys out of my trackies pocket and he unlocked the door.

"Where you going?" Abhi asked,

"I'm just going to put Mira in bed, then I'll be back" I said as I saw him muttering something under his breath.

I opened the door to my bedroom and walked towards the bed. I carefully placed Mira on the bed, covered her in the white quilt and put a pillow under her forehead.

Realising she still had a gash on her forehead, I headed back to the kitchen to grab the first aid kit. There sitting on a bar stool, at the breakfast nook in the kitchen, was the devil himself, Abhi.

"Bro what happened to your face?"

"Wow you noticed?" I questioned sarcastically and he shook his head,

"Never giving up are you? Anyways, its not my fault there was bad lighting in the alley. Talk to the government about it, if I were you.." he said taking sips from the wine glass in his hand.

He noticed me eyeing him drinking and spoke, "what? It's been a while since I last drank. First the warden, then my parents, and now you? What is this? Some kind of a conspiracy against me?"

"Something like that" I said grabbing the glass out of his hand and putting it in the sink and grabbing the first aid kit out of one of the three drawers.

"Where are you going? You're not going to go sleep with her are you?" he asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. I shook my head and walked towards him and gave his head a little shove,

"stop with your dirty thoughts you wrong person. I'm just going to treat her gash and I'll be back" I explained as he nodded his head.

With my back towards him, I started walking to my room when he said,

"I'll be in the guest room if you need me" and I heard the bar stool shift on the wooden flooring.

I closed the door behind me, wanting no more interruptions from Abhi as I treated her wound. I kneeled beside her and dipped a piece of cotton in some rubbing alcohol and rubbed her forehead. She flinched as the ball absorbed the blood but stay put.

After cleaning her up, I wrapped a fabric bandage around her forehead, holding the cotton ball in place. Packing up the kit, I got up and was about to walk back to the kitchen, when a hand wrapped around my wrist.

I turned around to see Mira take my hand in hers and I smiled to myself eyeing her cute antics. I tried to free myself, but to no avail. Giving up, I moved her over and lay next to her, covering the two of us with the quilt.

I think she was feeling cold as she snuggled right up against my chest and tangled her feet in mine. I turned the heater on with the press of the remote, and put my hands around her, not being able to control myself any longer.

For the first time in 17 years did I ever get to sleep peacefully with no nightmares, no night terrors, no nothing.

This is so, so cute.

I think Ruhaan is starting to fall for our Mira!

But remember, he can't love?

I just wish he could. He can't love and she is scared of love.

What a pair!
