Chapter 4 HADES Met ANGEL

Chapter 4) Hades met ANGEL

~• Flashback, [After a week in NY]

"Mompi, please pick up my call", Rudra murmured softly and again tried Mompi's number but again she didn't pick up his call.

It had been two weeks of him in NY and he was dying just to hear her voice. At last, he called Porishma and got to know that Mompi was at her parents' house.

Rudra felt relieved but something was different in his heart. Like a voice was nagging in his mind telling him to go back to his first love.

He was walking and scrolling his phone and suddenly he collided with a little girl who stuck to his body like a baby monkey. He amusingly looked at her.

Her eyes were closed and her face was bruised. Tears were streaming down from her eyes to her cheeks.

"Ple. Please. Hel. Help", She said while She was trying to catch the oxygen to breathe normally.

Rudra stared at her innocent face which was full of tears.

RUDRA's POV:-

That little girl was about to fall and immediately I wrapped my strong muscular arms around her tiny waist.

"Are you okay?", I asked anxiously when I saw her bruised lips and swollen red cheeks.

She shook her head and burst into tears. Her tears pinched my heart.

"Help me, brother, please", She said and then sobbed at the same time.

"Brother? This was the first time when someone called me brother. Apart from my future elder sister-in-law who is going to marry my elder brother. My elder sister-in-law calls me Brother Rudra. Why? only she knows but I like to hear the word brother from her mouth and now when this little girl calls me Brother I feel happy.

I didn't know why but she jumped on me and hid her face in my chest and made me chuckle loudly and I held her protectively in my toned masculine arms.

"Hey Kiddo! Do you always jump on a stranger like this?", I asked in my deep manly voice which sounded like an arrogant man but she was calmed by my booming voice and shook her head again and sobbed loudly.

I again hugged her and rubbed her back. I felt bad for her. I didn't know what happened to her but I got one thing: she was emotionally and physically hurt.

"At least open your eyes and see whom you're sticking with like a baby gorilla", I said and made her giggle. At least I made her smile.

She stood up on her feet but winced and I held her and not even for a second I removed my hands from her hands and her waist. Finally, She opened her eyes and I saw a deep brownish beautiful eyes that had fat tears in them because of the tears her eyes were red and puffy.

I saw her appearance and immediately closed my eyes and looked away from her. I cursed under my breath.

'Who the hell is in the right sense to give this kind of dress to a child?'.

My heart burnt and I gave my jacket to cover her body.

She wore my Jacket and I felt relieved to see her comfortably around me. I saw her inhaling my jacket and I chose to shut my mouth.

I really didn't know what happened But soon She started crying and I held her again.

"He. Hel. Help Ple. Please", She stuttered badly.

I nodded. I observed her and got to know that something wrong must happen to her.

She was shaking like a dried leaf.

I rubbed her body, pulled her close to my chest and asked her, "Will you tell me what happened to you?".

She started sobbing again and I sighed loudly and I did what my mother used to do for me whenever I cried. I ran my fingers in her thick smooth locks.

"Stop crying Kiddo. If you tell me then I'll help you so please stop crying", I said.

No, I pleaded and she stood properly and I gave my handkerchief to her. Not mine, that handkerchief belonged to my Mompi.

She wiped her face and blew her little red button nose in his handkerchief. I chuckled at her.

"Why will you help me and how?", She asked me and I stared at her innocent baby face.

She wanted to know why I would help her. I'm a law person and soon going to join the police force.

"We don't know each other and most importantly I don't have any money with me to give you", She told me in her soft voice and looked directly into my black orbs.

I knew that I had to work hard for her just to make her understand that it was not a threat to her.

"I don't want your money because I have mine and secondly because it's my job to punish bad people", I replied in all seriousness and didn't disclose anything about myself.

"Really?", She asked and her eyes were big as soccer which held so much purity and innocence. Such a sweet and pure child like an angel. Like my Rasagulla; Mompi.

"Mompi", I remembered her.

"Mompi", I said her name mentally but soon my eyes landed on her hands and what I saw, made me see only red.

I was staring at her bruises and knew someone tried to ruin her purity.

I wanted to kill that bastard who hurt this kid to this extent. I fisted my hands and clenched my jaw tightly. I badly wanted to beat someone. I was angry.

"Let's go", I took her hands and started to move.

"Aah!", She yelped in pain and I saw the reason for her pain.

I looked at her legs which were swollen and red. I sighed and bent down on my knees. This was the first time when I bent down on my knees that too for a kid.

I never bend down for Mompi too but I will do it soon when I propose to her for marriage. I smiled and tried to concentrate on the little Angel which hurt badly.

"What are you doing?", She whispered and her eyes were wide.

"Come and hop on my back", I said to her and God knows what I was doing. Whatever I was doing was new for me.

"Huh?", She looked at me confusedly.

"Kiddo! I'm giving you a piggyback ride", I said but little Angel didn't know what I was saying to her so I taught her to climb on my broad back and lock her little hands around my neck.

She climbed on my back and I knew she felt safe and secure around me.

"No one ever carried me like this", she murmured words and smiled at her childishness but I sensed the hidden pain behind her words.

"Don't worry kiddo. Everything will be fine", I said to myself.

I heard the sound of her pounding heart and she again inhaled me but I caught her action and turned my neck to look at her.

"Did you sniff me, Kiddo?", I asked her and she nodded, "Yes" and I was stunned at her innocence.

"Why?", I asked her.

"I like your smell", She whispered and looked down embarrassingly.

I smiled and remembered Mompi. She said the same things whenever we were close. Mompi loves to hide her face in the crook of my neck. I tried to lighten up her tense mood.

"What are you, kiddo? Werewolf? Don't tell me that I'm carrying a werewolf baby pup on my back", I joked about it but she was too naive and innocent to understand my words.

"Where are you taking me?", She asked but hiccups were still with her.

"Where do you want to go?", I asked her because I didn't know anything about her and her family.

"I don't have any house and family", finally she said what was running through my mind.

"Oh! okay then firstly I am going to take you to my house", I said and felt her uneasiness.

She stiffened.

"Don't worry kiddo. I'm here with my family and you need clothes and most importantly you need a doctor for your injury", I said and smiled warmly at her.

I had to take her to my house and the timing was good too because my brothers went to attend an important marriage function.

Suddenly my thoughts broke by Her loud growl and she blushed slightly.

"You're beautiful, Kiddo", I said and smiled widely at her. She is really beautiful but I wish that her smile would always be there on her face.

"But I want to know everything so will you tell me what exactly happened?", I asked her because I wanted to know who stooped so low to snatch the purity of a child.

"A bad man tried to tear my clothes", she sobbed and clutched my neck tightly.

I closed my eyes in anger.

'Who dared to hurt a child?', I thought

"Tell me everything. Who did this to you?", I was angry and She told me everything about how she came here and how she ended up in the hotel room and what that old bastard tried to do with her.

"How can anyone hate a child to this extent? Her father? Her stepmother and step-sister? And not to forget servants too. You'll pay for this whoever you are?", I thought and took steps towards my house which was not so far away from the street.

I took her with me. My house was big and I was glad that my brothers were not here to ask numerous questions.

"It looks like my family is not here", I said to her and bent down on my knees again and put her down on the couch.

She was observing the house. I don't want her to get scared.

"Kiddo! Firstly, take a shower. I'll give you something to wear", I said but she was staring at me.

I sighed and understood her hesitation to trust me.

"Kiddo, trust me. I'll not harm you. You're safe here with me", I said and held her tiny hands in my big hands. She nodded in agreement and I took a deep breath.

I helped her and took her into the bathroom. I arranged clothes for her but I heard her sobbing noises coming from the bathroom. My heart cracked to hear her whimpering low sound.

I know that all the evidence will get erased after the shower but I don't want any traces of that wild man on her mind, body and soul. I will find a way to give her justice. To this, I don't need to go to the police and file a report against the perpetrator.

"Kiddo, come out. You're inside for an hour", I knocked at the bathroom door nervously.

"I'm coming", Her voice was low but scratchy and I felt her pain so I left clothes on the bed and went to cook something for her. After fifteen minutes, She came downstairs and found me cooking something in the open kitchen.

I saw her and gave a warm smile just to remove the awkwardness from the atmosphere. Track Pants and a T-shirt covered her whole body. It was big for her small figure.

"Oh hi! Are you done?", I asked her and she nodded.

"My childhood clothes suited you well", I said and She blushed again in embarrassment.

I chuckled and murmured cute but my Mompi is a cutie.

"Do you live here?", She asked while clutching the clothes.

"No, I do not live here but I always come here with my family for a vacation", I said and she nodded.

"How old are you, kiddo?", I asked her because I wanted to know her.

"I'm twelve years old" " she replied.

"And you?", She asked me and I smiled.

"Mmmm, I'm twenty-one", I replied and she nodded. I gave them a glass of warm milk to drink and she drank it in a gulp. I smiled at her.

"You're a good girl. No tantrums on drinking milk", I said and wiped her milky mustache with my thumbs.

She gave her a sweet smile too.

Mompi doesn't like to drink milk and I remembered How Pari always complained about her to me.

'Rudra, tell her to finish the glass of milk', Pari said loudly and I heard all the complaints about Mompi.

I shook my head negatively.

"Eat something then we'll visit the doctor", I said and gave her pancakes to eat.

She ate the pancakes and tears welled up in her eyes and I panicked to see her tears.

"Hey! Is it not delicious?", I asked nervously.

"It's very tasty", she replied and chewed up her food.

"Then why are you crying?", I asked and wiped her teary eyes with my hands.

"I ate something good after a year", She said and looked down.

I stood frozen And I killed her,

so-called family in my mind thousands of times.

"What's your name, Kiddo?", I asked and looked directly at her.

"AASHMAAN", She whispered slowly.
