Chapter2 Izna Mallick.

Rahil's Perspective.

I stepped into my house and all the memories of childhood flashed like a movie in front of my eyes. I saw a little seven years old, carefree lad running away with a mischievous smile, while a handsome man in his early thirties chasing him.

'Hey, you champ stop running.' The man said while panting and sunk into the sofa beside him.

'Baba, you can never catch me.' The boy came towards the man and showed his tongue before running away.

I than move towards the kitchen and saw the same man serving some pasta to his son.

"Baba you know that your handmade pasta is the best." The boy said eating happily.

"And Baba also know that Rahil loves pasta. That's why I made it for my child." The man said with affection and pat the boy's head with love.

The scene bought tears to my eyes which I wiped expertly with the tip of my thumb. Drowning into the past I totally forgot that I have to go and meet my grandmother because Aunt Elakshi told me to pick Grandma from her house as soon as I reach Mumbai. I took the keys from the chauffeur and went to grandma's house with the help of GPS.

It was five pm when I was still stuck in the traffic from last few hours. Sitting idle I started looking here and there when my eyes landed on a girl and a kid. The kid was sitting on the bench at the footpath, with a cut on his left knee. Tears trickled down his cheeks continuously and he was dressed in some ragged pants with a shabby shirt. He was continuously blabbering something while the girl was busy treating his wound. The girl was dressed in blue trousers with a white satin shirt. She had long silky dark brown hairs turning into blonde at the end. Her face was covered with her dark brown bangs preventing me to see it. After treating the child's wound the girl pulled out some chocolates from her bag and give them to the kid. The kid's pain flew away after having the chocolates and he kissed the girl's left cheek in a way of expressing his gratitude.

I was so lost in the cute scene in front of my eyes when I heard loud horns, I swiftly look at the front and saw no sign off a traffic rush. So the traffic is cleared! Before moving forward I glanced towards the footpath but there was no sign of the girl while the boy was busy munching his chocolate. Nodding my head in disbelief, I drove to Grandma's house.

"You are the reflection of my son. My Karthik." Grandma said kissing my forhead.

"Do I look like Baba?" I questioned with astonishment.

"Yes my child, you resemble your father a lot. Your height, the color of your beautiful eyes is the same as your Baba." She said with love filled eyes.

"Features might be the same, but I can never become a great man like him." I said looking nowhere.

"Why didn't you and Grandfather let baba marry my mother?" I asked in a pain-filled voice.

"You know Baba never said anything from his mouth, but after the demise of my mother he have always felt the lack of your presence." I told her while tears trickled down her old wrinkled face.

"That's life my child. People sometimes took some decisions emotionally never knowing that in future they will regret." Grandma said politely.

"Okay just let go of this emotional drama. It's getting late." I said diverting her attention.

"Are you leaving my child?" She asked with a tint of sadness on her face.

"No, we are leaving." I replied with a smile while she was surprised.

"We." She said plainly.

"Yes Grandma I'm here to take you with me to Baba's house." I told her while she was shocked.

"Child but how can I..." She was going to decline when I interrupted her.

"No ifs and buts Grandma. You will let me live alone." I said faking sadness and she quickly got agreed

It was my first day at the prosecution office and I was excited like a four years old who is going to school for the first time. Grandma laughed at my excitement and prayed for my best.

I made my way towards the office of the District Attorney, after reaching the prosecution office. I saw the nameplate outside the D.A's office which reads: 'District Attorney Kabir Mallick'. I felt fire burning inside my chest after reading the name and took sometime to calm my senses.

'May I come in Sir?' I asked politely after knocking the door. He was busy talking with someone when his eyes landed on me and he signaled me to come inside. After making myself comfortable on the chair, I looked towards him who have just ended the call.

"Welcome young man, It's a pleasure to have a talented prosecutor like you, here." He praised me while I faked a smile expertly.

"Thank you so much Sir." I said professionally.

"Why thanking me son, This country needs honest and talented prosecutors like you." He said while I tried to calm the burning fire inside me at him calling me 'Son'.

"Okay young man I'll call someone to show you the way towards your cabin." He said while I stood up and shake hands with him unwillingly.

"Sir, you have called me." The same receptionist came inside who have guided me the way towards Mr.Mallick's office.

"Yes, Rhia go and guide Mr.khanna towards his cabin." He said to the receptionist while she nodded and asked me to come with her.

I was going towards the cabin when someone bumped into my chest and was about to fall when I held her with a swift. Her eyes were closed and she has clutched the collar of my shirt in her death grip. She was dressed in black denims paired with a black-colored satin shirt and jacket. She had a light complexion with a beautiful turned-up nose and beautiful bow-shaped lips adorned with red lipstick. She slowly lifted her lashes and I found myself drowning into those beautiful almond-shaped eyes. I was so lost into her beauty when she let go of my collar and came out of my grip.

"I'm so sorry." She apologized looking down.

"It's Okay." I said and she glanced towards me and than ran away from there while I noticed her silky dark brown and blonde colored hair.

"Ahmmmm." I heard someone clearing clearing her throat and turned to find Rhia with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Seems like someone has stolen your heart already?" She questioned with a serious face while I chuckled.

"It's not so easy." I said with a smile.

"Ahan, is it so? Than I think I have a chance?" She asked and then we both laughed.

"By the way, who is she?" I asked not showing the eagerness building inside me.

"Izna Mallick. The only daughter of our District Attorney, Kabir Mallick." I can never explain the way her words stabbed my heart. My whole world came crashing down the moment I came to know that she is the daughter of my enemy, all the feelings flew away in seconds and pure hatred filled my heart.

"What happened? Why so shocked?" She snapped her fingers in front of me.

"Ah, Nothing." I said and faked a smile while she handed me the files of some cases and left. I came inside my cabin and sunk into the chair.

"Fate loves to play with me. It loves to make me writhe in pain." I thought to myself.

It's your turn to feel the pain. Yes, Mr.Kabir Mallick now I'll show you how it feels like, when you saw your beloved in pain.

"Izna Malik, I'm going to make your life a living hell.Just wait and watch!" I said imagining her in my mind.
