"Hey sweetheart."
His cheerful voice called for her and she couldn't control herself.

Tears flew out of her eyes and she started sobbing. How can she be calm about it? She was gonna get killed. Someone wanted her dead.

She cupped her mouth as to not make any sound. Shrithik was shocked when he saw her shaking. Quickly getting up he went to her and holding her shoulders, turned her around.

"Sweetheart? Why are you crying, sweetheart. Did something happen? Or-"

She cut him off by hugging him tightly and crying in his chest.

He pulled her towards the sofa and sat her down. She cried sitting there and he left her to get water.
And Sameera's pathetic ass thought that he was leaving her.

She was crying so much that she couldn't speak. She banged her head on the head rest of her sofa.

When Shrithik came and saw her disheveled shape, he sat beside her and softly spoke

"Sweetheart. I'm here take this water."

He said and she opened her eyes. Still sobbing she nodded and took the glass in her shaky hands. But before it could reach her mouth Shrithik took it away from her.

Her hands were shaking so much that she would have spilled all the water on herself.

He was not able to see her state like that. She was looking so........ vulnerable.

He brought the glass to her lips and made her drink the water.

"Yeah. That's like a good girl."

Then keeping the glass beside he took her sobbing mess of a face in his hands. Cupping her face he softly asked

"Now tell me, why are you crying this much?"

Her weeping which stopped for a minute once again started. She looked in his eyes with her watery eyes and her lips trembeled.

She took his t-shirt in her hands and crawled up on him. Straddling him she hit him.

Shrithik laughed. She was so voilent when sad.

Without saying anything he just rubbed her back. Slowly she stopped crying, and the sobs slowed down.

Now she was tired from all the crying.

Getting a good time, he asked
"Sweetheart? Tell me why are you crying. What happened?"

Sameera tightened her grip on his tshirt and removed her face from the crook of his neck.

Coming face to face with him, she said with a weak voice

"I.....I was coming b....b...back from the library and s-suddenly t-t-two men attacked me. I somehow ran away from there. He...he strangled my throat. L-l-look. T-the marks."

She turned her head to a side and with her weak fingers grazed the brusie.

Shrithik's light brown eyes darkened to black when he heard what happened. And that brusie was enough reason for him to just kill the person.

Sameera once again looked at him and when she saw his dark expression she got scared. It was the second time she was seeing him like that.

His jaw was clenched tightly, eyes were red and fists were tight. He was glaring at something behind her.

Still scared to core, she asked with a shaky voice

"S-shri-shrithik?"

"Huh?"
He said with that same dazed expression. When understood what happened he quickly changed his expression from dangerous to bright, happy and cheerful.

Smiling softly he cupped her face with his big hands and then wiped her tears with his thumbs.

"Don't worry sweetheart. Everything will be alright. Tomorrow talk to your mother, but don't tell her anything about what happened okay? Already she is very angry on you getting suspended, okay?"
He chuckled at the end causing her to laugh lightly too.

She then kept her head on his shoulder and felt him release a sigh.
Rubbing her back softly he asked

"Sleepy?"

"Yeah. A little."
She replied weakly and he immediately stood up.

As she was sitting on his lap she shreiked and wrapped her legs around his waist.

With shaky breaths she said
"Y-you should have t-told me."

He chuckled with the same dark eyes and supported her bum on his hands.

"I will. From next time."

He then went in her room with her clinging on him. Then lowered her on the bed and covered her with duvet. Her bloodshot eyes were now dropping.

Running his hand softly on her cheeks he wished that he was able to comfort her.

When he was assured that she'll be okay he left her room. As soon as he stepped out his rainbow expression changed to a stormy expression.

He was super suspecious about Shourya's father being behind all of it. And if it was true then he is gonna pay for every single tear of hers.

He went to his house to find out wether what he was thinking was true or not.

It was not a problem for him to get in the large overly secure mansion. In the main hall there was a large sofa on which Shourya was sitting drinking beer. In a tray there were different types of alcoholic drinks placed. And in front of him was his father who was trying to make him stop drinking.

Looking at his state Shrithik was sure he had been drinking for a long time as his eyes were bloodshot and his body swaying very often.

"I............I will kill that girl. Who does she think she is?! Who! I'll have dogs eat her body piece by piece. That whore............. I'll give herthe worst death possible!"

Shourya shouted throwing his glass and shattering it.

"Yes, son. I've sent my men to kill her. Don't worry. Soon we will get to see her dead. But stop drinking right now."
His dad said trying to convince his stubborn son to stop drinking.

Then lights of the house started fluctuating and an evil laugh resonated through the big mansion.
Both the stupid men in the room panicked.

"That is not the case. Sameera........is safe at her house. She is absolutely fine and sleeping peacefully. But don't you worry, your peace will be soon gone."
Shrithik said in a dangerously calm voice.

"W-who a-are you? Where are you? Come in front of m-me. I'll are-"

All the glass bottles of the alcoholic drinks shattered and all the glass pieces hit the two guy directly in their face.

Both started shouting and grunting in pain. Then suddenly both were hanging in air.

"Aaaaaaaaah. Leave me. Please leave me."

"Not possible. The one who tries to kill her, gets killed himself."

Saying this Shrithik threw both the men on the ground. Shrithik was immensely powerful. Immensely and insanely.

They both fell on their face and the glass pieces dug more into their skin.
Shrithik thought that it was the time for them to go to hell. He picked up the knife and made it visible and went to Shourya but the businessmen shouted

"Please. Leave us. I'll apologize to her in public. In her college. I'll make my son do sit ups. I'll give her all my money. I'll assure her safety for rest of her life. Please leave us. Please."

Shourya was unconscious and Shrithik was just above him with the knife ready to slit his throat.

His eyes were wide and nose flaring.
He dropped the knife and stood up straight.

"No need to apologise in public. Tomorrow at exactly 10:00 a.m. I want you both with those two guys who tried to kill her at her doorstep. Apologising to her. Otherwise...."

He trailed off and the big glass chandelier shattered into pieces.

It was enough for the businessman to understand what the invisible force meant.

"O-of course."

Shrithik didn't waste a second more there and went home.

Opening the door to his flat he saw that someone was there. Sitting on the sofa. He couldn't recognise the person and he slowly moved to the front of whoever it was.

If there is someone to harm her then that'll be the end of the person.

But his knees buckeled when he saw Sameera sitting there with her knees to her chest and her hands tightly around them.

Her face was wet from tears like she just washed it. Her eyes were red. But what really scared him to core was the knife, the sharpest knife they had, kept beside her. Was she.....was she trying to kill herself. For devil's sake he cannot loose her!

He loved her! He loved her so much that he'll destroy the world, destroy himself if it made her happy and safe. And at that moment he knew that she was his life. That she was his everything. That she was the one who ruled his heart, his body, his mind and his soul.

She was everything. Just she was.

She lifted her eyes when she heard something falling. And when she saw Shrithik on his kness with this scared expression she weakly asked

"Where were you?"

"I..........what are you doing with this knife?"
He asked picking up the knife from beside her.

She lifted her head and then weakly lifted the apple from her lap.

"I was hungry. I....I haven't eaten anything in the past 15 hours."

She said and he laughed. A tear fell out of his eye and he pulled her down. She fell from the sofa and landed on his lap.

He hugged her tightly. He buried her head in his chest and wiped his lone tear off.

"Why are you crying?"
She asked and he let out a laugh.

"Happy tears, sweetheart. Happy tears. I'm happy that you are not trying to kill yourself."

"I've been imagining scenarios like this my whole life, old man. And I don't want to die. I want to face it. And I want to be h-happy again. I-I.....but it's a lot more scary than what I imagined."

She said in a monotonous voice. She was so tired that she couldn't even cry now.

"Well, that's good. Now that you are hungry, tell me what do you want to eat?"

He said looking down at her tired face and smiling softly

"An apple is okay."
She said and started reaching for the knife but he pushed it away

"It's always recommended to not let babies touch sharp things."
He said grinning widely and she looked down. Even after trying she couldn't smile.

He grazed her cheek with his hand and butterflies irrupted in her stomach.

"Don't let the darkness consume you. Don't."
He whispered and connected their foreheads.

And then suddenly, cheerfully spoke

"Come on, tell me what do you want to eat?"

"S-something tasty."
