Chapter 5 AASHMAAN : Neil's ANGEL

Chapter 5) AASHMAAN: Neil's Angel

RUDRA's POV:-

"Aashmaan", I said and her name rolled and melted in my mouth.

A different and fresh name just like her. Aashmaan means Sky. Wow

"A very beautiful name just like you", I said and ruffled her silky soft hair.

"Why are you helping me?", She asked me and her eyes were staring at me.

"Because it's my duty", I simply replied and put extra honey on her pancakes.

"What are you, A prince charming?", She asked innocently and I threw my head back and laughed crazily at her.

"Aashu! You're a little girl and how would I forget about the most important fact about girls and their dreams about getting a handsome prince charming", I laughed at her and She made weird faces.

I remembered how Mompi said that I'm her Angel, her shining warrior in knight or God knows what? I didn't hear her properly because I was busy admiring her plump lips.

My Mompi.

"Okay so what will you do or simply say where will you go", I shook my head and concentrated on the kid.

"I want to go back to India", she said and her eyes were moistened.

I thought for a while and said, "Okay I'll help you but at least confront those people who tried to ruin your dignity"

I said grittedly but she shook her head negatively and left me speechless.

"No! I don't want to see them. I don't want to go there again", She said and started crying again.

"Okay! Okay! Actually, I can easily send you to India without your original visa and passport but if you help me then I'll send you back legally", I said and Aashmaan absorbed my words.

I'm a law person and don't want to take the law into my hands. I don't want to do anything illegal but I know someone can help me.

"Okay but I won't go there", She said and looked at me with her sad eyes. Her eyes made me think about my Mompi.

"Hmm, okay I can manage this part but don't you have anything valuable there", I asked and it struck her brain. She said that She had so many valuable things in her stair room.

"Stair room, seriously?", I asked and She nodded.

"But I'm scared because that woman sold me to him for billions of dollars instead of her daughter. If she got to know what I did. She'll kill me", She cried and hid her face with her hands.

I am staring at her red puffy eyes. Her sniffing is bad too. She has cuts and wounds on her body. Some look old and some are new. I know she is physically abused by them.

"I'll punish them for you, kiddo", I vowed.

After eating food, I took her to the hospital. The doctor treated her wounds and in return from the hospital, I bought ice cream for her. She jumped out and said, "Yaahoo", loudly.

I like her childishness and especially her sweet smile which is like a rainbow. She is licking her vanilla flavor ice cream with her utmost interest so I decided to ask her a very important question.

"When do you want to go back?", I asked and looked directly into her deep dark brown eyes.

"As soon as possible", She replied with a sad smile.

"Where will you go there?", I asked

"I have my house in Shimla", She said while remembering something.

"Any other family members?", I asked and she shook her head negatively.

"I have no one there but still I'm not going back to the mansion", She said and sniffed.

"Mansion?", I asked.

"Yes, Surya Narayan Mansion", she said and again started licking her melted ice cream.

I was stunned by the revelation. My mind was running wildly with thousands of questions but I chose to shut my mouth.

Surya Narayan? Gautam has a daughter named Avantika which means Aashmaan is the second daughter of Gautam Surya Narayan or is she related to some other members of Surya Narayan? I'll talk about this to my brothers first then to my father. How is it even possible?

I was thinking and then I remembered I have to return soon because my holidays are near the end and I have to join the training camp. But before going there I want to secure this Kiddo and I know that in this matter, only my father will help me.

"Ashu! My work is done here and I'm going back the day after tomorrow" I said and stared at her.

"Will you take me with you?", She asked hopefully and I smiled.

"You want to join me?", I asked her because I was worried about her safety here.

I know my brothers would surely help her but she is my responsibility and my brothers are busy with business and most importantly family matters.

She nodded and asked, "But your family".

I felt her nervousness running through her body.

"They went to attend a marriage function and my vacation is near the end so I have to go back", I replied and started to move back to my house.

"But I need my things back. it's important and I'm scared to go there again", she said in a low voice and wanted to hug her tightly but I didn't want her to think wrong about me.

Soon we reached home and entered the house.

"It's okay I'll get it for you", I said and we entered the guest room.

"Really?", She jumped out in happiness and she sat down on the bed in Indian style.

"Yes, I'll help you", I smiled at her reaction.

"My passport?", she frowned.

Oh, so she knows about this huh? Interesting.

"I can handle this part too. You just tell me where your belongings are", I said because it was true.

I can manage this easily because I'm Rudra Singh Rathore and nothing is impossible for me.

"You're a genie", She said and clapped her hands together and jumped in joy but winced because of the pain of her ankle.

I laughed with her and ruffled her hair lovingly. I found a sister in her.

"Just sleep Kiddo", I said and tucked in her and left the room to plan everything to protect her.

I called one of my trusted friends or classmates and I knew she would be perfect for this job.

"Ojas?", I said when she picked up the call.

"Rudra?", She said in a surprised tone.

"Yes", I replied.

"How are you brother?", She asked.

"I'm fine but I need your help", I said straightforwardly.

"What's it?", Her voice turned into a professional tone.

"I don't have much time to explain to you on the phone and most importantly it's urgent", I said and she agreed.

"Where are you right now?", She asked.

"In NY, at my house", I said.

"Oh okay then I'll see you in an hour", She said and cut the call. I took a relief breath.

True to her words, After an hour, Ojas came and I discussed the matter of Aashmaan with her. Ojas understood and she agreed to help me.

Being a Secret Agent, she learned how everything works without leaving any marks or information. She lives in NY and works with the government.

Ojas said that she would go to the Suryanarayana mansion in the middle of the night but I was not satisfied so I requested her to go immediately.

Ojas stared at me and I rolled my eyes. I was scared to lose my kiddo's belongings.

Finally, Ojas agreed and went to the Surya Narayan mansion secretly and searched the stair room. She found a stair room and entered the room without making any noise. She searched the whole room and then she got a hold of a bag and a few little things that were scattered in her room. She collected every little thing and put them into that bag and left the mansion without getting noticed by anyone. She came in the early morning with scary eyes which had dark circles and gave me a kiddo's bag. She also helped me with all the important procedures of boarding. Finally, we stood at the NY Airport.

But in all of these processes, I never slept for a blink. First, my Mompi was not picking up my calls, and second, Aashmaan and her safety.

I told Aashmaan that I'd help her but everything was not that simple. I put aside my ego and called my father and asked for help for her and thanks to heaven that he didn't ask many questions but threw a returning favor in my face and I agreed with him.

My father is a cunning man. Plans this and that every time but I'm Rudra and no one would change my mind.

My days are going to be over. In these two weeks, I helped Arjun to get a hold of Avni and destroy all of Vikranth's business and now this kiddo.

After doing everything for others, my heart is not calm maybe because I didn't hear her voice. I'll meet her then I'll join the training camp.

The whole journey I thought about Mompi. Her smile, her tears, her kisses, and her blush whenever I called her Rasgulle (sweet).

I chuckled and we came out of the airport. I put Aashmaan's luggage into the taxi, gave the address of the orphanage to the driver and almost threatened him to drop her off safely.

I just hope her new journey will brighten a new light in her life.

A little bit the Hades knew that the Devil would clash with the little angel soon.
