The weather outside is stormy.. strong winds are blowing but as it is said people perspective matters .. for Ekansh this weather is stormy but for a girl named Ruhanika this weather is beautiful... When ekansh shut down his cabin windows and curtains so that stormy wind won't effect his life which is already destroyed by storm . on the other hand Ruhanika was enjoying the wind and the smell of wet sand ... Ruhanika life is a storm but when the winds and the smell of wet sand blows she seek something beautiful in that storm ....

Two different persons with different perspectives....but both are wounded.

Both are weak ... One who shut down his emotions because he doesn't wanna feel anything... That is ekansh Malohtra  and other always remain bubbly happy because she knew there is no one who will hold her even though she get vulnerable.... She knew everyone will hate her if she show her vulnerable sight to them ...Ruhanika Sharma.

Working in his cabin his barren eyes fixed on laptop screen ...not until his phone went off ...

" Dad you know I do not like to go to social gatherings. " Said ekansh Malohtra.

" But son my health is not good ..it's my best friend daughter marriage. I can't go so please just for sometime. You are getting married soon ..you need to learn socializing. " His father said making him sigh .

No matter how cold and emotionless ekansh Malohtra is but he is respectful towards others (those who deserve it )

" Fine dad , please get ruhi ready too.." he said making his father smile

Ekansh Malohtra pov :

My eyes caught the photo of mine and Ishita,my ex wife who is no more in this world. But her shadow is there our daughter ruhi . people say nightmares are the ones which haunt us ,hell they are lieing. Ishita and mine good memories haunt me making me shattered every second. Her memories shattered me because I want her not her memories . Soon I am getting married because my daughter needs a mother...if she was here we would be perfect..a perfect happy family. A perfect happy couple.but perfect and happy words are not in my fate I guess... The girl I am getting married to is my friend her name is Nitika sharma . She knows me and my daughter. She said she loves me but I told her I can't love anyone else now.. she said she want to complete me . And I don't know when dad heard our conversation. He just wanted us to get married after that . At first i refused them but he convinced me saying a child needs a mother. For ruhi future get married. After one month of emotinal blackmail I agreed . And next week I am getting married. I don't wanna marry Nitika . She is nice but I do not want to spoil her life ...I don't know but I think I am curse...when I born my mother fell ill ...and soon after giving birth to Rahul she leave us ..and then come Ishita . We got married at the age of 24 . I knew it was soon but we both were stable financially and in our career too that one year we spend together is just a dream for me which haunt me like a nightmare but when ruhi born she leave us as she was too weak to concive but she hide that from me...

People always lie ...

" Ruhanika,are you sure you want to pull this stunt . I mean it's not necessary to complete the dare . I will do there assignments ." Shivangi spoke to her bestfriend Ruhanika.

" Shut up shivangi...it's just a simple dare to sneak in the wedding stop scaring and making me scared too ." Ruhanika glare at her .

" I am going to get warning for third time today and soon i will be kicked out of the hostel ..it's not an ordinary wedding it's a buisness man daughter wedding"  shivangi said .

" So what  just let's go " she said and hold Shivangi hand . And about to enter inside but shivangi said to her that guards are asking for invitation card ...

Ruhanika smirked and went to lady manager as she saw her checking prepration.

" Excuse me  miss ...can I please use your  venue washroom actually my periods started just now.. " she said looking at her with innocent looks making Shivangi sigh understanding she will not give up ..

The lady manager smiled and took her  inside..

" Mam please leave as soon as possible I let you enter but if anybody find out my boss will fire me ." She said

" Don't worry we will leave soon " said Ruhanika

" You lied ?? " Shivangi said making her shrugg ...

" I didn't.. we need to use washroom for changing our clothes ofc we can't go to this elite weddingin causual.." Ruhanika said and took out two dresses from the bag she brings

" Get ready " soon they get ready .

(Ruhanika look )

Soon they went inside the wedding and Ruhanika went to panipuri stall where as Shivangi being introvert is feeling shy in this unwanted environment. But shivangi pull her with herself...they enjoyed and video call there classmates who gave them dare to sneak in the wedding...soon after eating food .

" Let's go Shivangi" Ruhanika said .

" Just few minutes I will come back after using restroom ..." she said and went inside the washroom...

Ruhanika saw icecream stall ..she thought to have one more icecream..

As she was going to icecream stall ..her feet got Tangled in carpet but she handled herself but bump into a broad shoulder ...

" I am sorry uncle " she said without looking at the person but only to pull back by him ...

" Am i looking an uncle to you ? " The deep voice ragged through her eardrum...she scan the man infront of her . The sharp jaw , hazel eyes , gaze that had ability to make people freeze which is screaming power and dominance but she was unaffected...

" Nhi toh kya aunty ho ?? " she said looking at man and his  daughter whose  duo eyes were scanning her ..she gave her a sweet smile and wink at her but soon she saw shivangi running in her direction...

" Let's leave we are caught". Shivangi said and hold her hand .. but Ruhanika anklet fell on ground catching his eyes ...he realised it's a diomand anklet...he pick it and about to give it to her but she was nowhere to be seen ...

He signed and about to throw the anklet but before he could his  daughter grab the anklet...

" I want it " she said in her babyish voice..

" Baby i will bring you more beautiful one ..it's not yours .." ekansh said trying to take it but ruhi grip was too tight ..and if ekansh try  pull with force anklet will broke ...he signed

" You have no work except whoring around right.. isn't it enough whatever you did and destroy our respect. I wish you were dead that day ... In our family one daughter is Nikita and one you a shameless whore... I am ashamed to be your dad . You are just here because of your grandfather otherwise i would have  thrown you on streets.. I am talking to you speak -

His voice stops as he Ruhanika entering her room ...

RUHANIKA POV

Entering my  room i remove my airpods thanking them how much they saved me . I noticed my night suit is tore from shoulder, I sighed and took another tank top ... As i remove my upper my eyes caught the mark giving me  horrible flashback...I still remember my teenage days ..I was 18 years when the horrible incident take place... reading romantic novel I also got a urge to experience the love life even though in our family that is not allowed...but heart is heart we can't control it ...can we ?? At that my huge crush was on my senior ( kavyansh) ... And my crush turned into love when he proposed me .at that everything seems like a fairy tale and Bollywood type... So innocent and only love but only from my side ...after 7 months of dating for the first time kavyansh tried to kiss me but i refused him saying I trust him but my family trust me too and I don't want to get intimate so soon .I know a kiss is not big for some people but at that time there was innocence in me . Next day we went to club with other friends I do not want to go but kavyansh emotionally blackmail me ..or you can say emotionally manipulate me making me agree ... shivangi was also there but that night she has to leave early because she was not feeling well ... Kavyansh made me drink lemonade ..but that was not only lemonade. There was drug in it .... And soon I was high on it ....he tried to take advantage of me in that condition but i push him and run from there and sit in my car and drive but he was following me maybe cause he knows i can't drive far due to drug effect and he was true ..I was sweating my vision was blurry.. resulting my car collision with a tree ..my forehead and back was bleeding and I fell on road ..still in that condition he didn't leave me. He drag me in car and do all things which became my nightmare and the first boy whom I love ...my innocent  love for him died that day along with me . My screams still haunt me .... And it doesn't end there ..he send the video to my family.... I look at my wrist making me remember how many times i tried to end my life ...

Not until one day I was lying on hospital bed ..drips were connected on my hands ..I woke up  only to see shivangi and my grandpa beside me .

They took me too the room where many patients were laying lifeless struggling for there lives. They didn't say a single words and leave me there because they know maybe i understand what they want to show me ...and i understood.people were Begging for lives and breaths and here I am giving up on myself especially when I didn't do anything wrong .... seeing those lifeless patients i understood one thing...

" Wrap yourself with positivity even in

The darkest situations"

A

nd that day I got a new life . That day I decided to become lawyer because when I filed a complaint against them police didn't file f.i.r because kavyansh is a son of politician .. lawyers were not ready to take my case and i decided I will fight this case myself and he will be behind bars..and about my family. I am immune to them ... It's not like this I don't want to talk them even though sometimes I have an urge to scream the hell out of my pain ,such that it reaches skies...but at the end this world won't hear that either. Sometimes I wish they could drink there words and realise how bitter they taste... But I am used to it . My mother doesn't hate me I am sure but does she love me ?  Idk infact I hate love . My perspective changed that night for love . Love is beautiful but only for some people. Maybe love is not in my destiny but happiness is . I deserve to be happy and I will always.

I realised my food got cold making me sigh...I went to kitchen and put the food there and took an apple instead. And saw people roaming there and here .... Ohh yeah I forgot the good and obedient of daughter of this house is getting married next week ...my cousin sister. Well me and her is also a short story but I am too tired to recall maybe someday else ..

I made messy bun and take out my books n drown myself in law books
