Chapter 5 ) Angel In Fox's Skulk

• Soon Aashmaan landed in New York with his newly founded Father.
• Aashmaan was least interested in all. All the journey his father wanted to talk to her but her short replies made him understand that he had to work harder.
• Aashmaan's mind was trying to find a solution to go back to her Ammo. But she knew it was the last time when she saw her and hugged her.
• Aashmaan knew that she was all alone now and had to protect herself from the cruel world. Her body was shivering from the thoughts of the new house and family.
• She was only an eleven-year-old girl. Her memories were flashing in her mind. Her Ammo's sweet voices and her kisses were making her cry silently. She was preparing herself for a war. She was small, innocent, and pure and she was not aware of her future which would soon turn darker than before.
• "Let's Go", Gautam- Her father said and started moving forward without saying any extra words to her.
• Aashmaan nodded and quickly followed him. Gautam's assistant helped little Aashmaan to sit in the car. Her eyes were wide to see the big car. The whole ride from the Airport to the Mansion, she was staring out of the window. It was the first time when she saw those beautiful tall buildings in her life.
• Everything was mesmerizing for her but something little shattered inside her heart. She was not happy without her Ammo. This was her new life. She was praying for Ammo and her safety. Her eyes were moistened.
• Aashmaan was trying to memorize every street and corner of the way to her new house.
• After two long hours, the Car parked in front of a big and very magnificent Mansion.
• Aashmaan saw but it didn't make any sense to her. For Aashmaan her small town and her small house in Shimla were more warm and beautiful than this big and exquisite mansion.
• Again Gautam's assistant assisted her to come down out of the car. She stood and read the name that was carved on the big board with black bold letters.
• "SURYANARAYAN MANSION, NY "
• They entered the mansion and stood in the middle of the big hall where servants were working properly but they stopped their work and turned their attention to the little girl.
• Aashmaan felt uncomfortable under their curious gaze but her eyes stuck at the lady who was in her late thirties and most importantly she was glaring hatefully at her.
• Aashmaan wanted to run away from there and hide in the warm embrace of Ammo. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Ammo, I'm scared".
• That lady took threatening steps towards Aashmaan but Gautam came in between them.
• "Nisha", Gautam said and held his wife's hands.
• "She is Aashmaan, daughter of mine and you have to accept her as yours too", Gautam stated in his words in authority.
• "Never, Gautam Never. How dare you come here with this lowlife in our House?", Nisha removed her hands from Gautam's grip and used venomous words for little Aashmaan.
• "Nisha", Gautam yelled at his wife.
• "What Gautam? This bitch is not my daughter. She is the daughter of that whore and yours", Nisha screamed and slapped Aashmaan which caused her to fall on the floor.
• Aashmaan's eyes were red and tears were streaming down through her eyes but not a single word came out of her little mouth. She was just staring at the lady whose name was Nisha, who slapped her. It was the first time when someone slapped her. That was not a slap on her cheeks but a slap on her innocence.
• "Nisha! Don't forget that it all happened because of you. And never dare to touch my daughter again", Gautam said and helped Aashmaan to stand on her feet.
• Gautam touched her swollen cheeks which turned red. He tried to wipe her tears but she quickly moved away from him. He closed his fist tightly and said one of her servants took care of her and left the place.
• Nisha turned towards Aashmaan but suddenly Gautam called Nisha and she left to see him but not before spitting venom, "You'll pay for this, you slut. This house has only one daughter and it'll be my Avantika not some whore's daughter".
• Aashmaan was scared and alone But Nisha's words were terrifying and scared little Aashmaan very much.
• Aashmaan wiped her tears and servants took her and her luggage to the room.
• "Wait, Give her that room", Another servant whispered into the ear of the head servant and he nodded in agreement.
• They took little Aashmaan into the stairs room which was too small for anyone.
• Aashmaan saw and smiled at the room. She was at least happy to see the room. She didn't have so many things with her so it was okay for her to stay in the little room.
• Servants left her alone and she locked the room and took a deep breath and realized that It would be very tough for her.
• "I'm missing you, Ammo" " she whispered and cried silently.
• She never cried when she lost her grandfather. She never shed a single tear when she saw her mother's hanging body with her own eyes. but she was crying now. Crying for her Ammo. Crying for the slap she got from that lady named Nisha.
• Aashmaan's mind was absorbing the new words she heard today- 'LowLife, bitch, whore, slut' These words were new to her. She didn't know the meaning of these words but she knew that it wasn't not good enough for anyone to say.
• These situations continued in her life. It had been six months now and she was locked in the stairs room. Servants came and gave her food only one time and water to drink but only a little. Sometimes few male servants were creepily watching the Milky white body of her.
• Little Aashmaan was surrounded by evil people. Nisha never left any chance to torture her.
• Whenever Nisha got a chance she beat Aashmaan, slapped her, and made her do heavy household work and even the Servants were cruel enough to take advantage of her innocence and childhood.
• Gautam wasn't aware of anything going on inside his house. He left the mansion in the morning and came very late at night. He never asked about the little daughter.
• But his mind was always thinking about his first daughter Avantika Surya Narayan who was always busy doing parties day and night and drowned herself in the depths of alcohol.
• Gautam wanted her daughter to study well and took over his business but her lifestyle was worrying him. And Nisha never spared him. She mocked him and taunted him for infidelity.
• Gautam knew whatever happened was not right but he was not aware of Anvrita's pregnancy. It was true that he got attracted to her and badly wanted her in his bed and this process, he married her but he didn't know that she was pregnant when he left her.
• But Nisha got to know about his extramarital affair and she ordered the best detective to find everything about his mistress and then Nisha went to India to threaten Anvrita. Finally, Gautam thought that everything matters were sorted out but he was wrong when he got to know about Anvrita's sudden death and the most shocking news was that she gave birth to a girl and she was already three years old.
• Gautam did a DNA test and the results were positive. That little girl was his daughter. He felt guilty and went to meet her but Ammo hid his daughter from him very well finally, he got a hold of her weakness. Aashmaan's maternal grandmother was dying and he used this opportunity against her and claimed his daughter and took her with him to NY.
• Gautam was stressed about the very stress of his life, his eldest daughter, and most importantly his business. He just wanted to sleep and never woke up but he knew that it wasn't the right time for him. He needed to settle down his daughter Avantika first and hand over the Business to her and after this, he would be relieved.
• In all these things, Gautam forgot about the little Angel who was fighting with the inner vixen and hyenas of the house.
• .. ..
• Aashmaan was reading the diary that Ammo put in her luggage.
• Someone knocked at her door. She got scared and asked, "Whose there?".
• "It's me, SongYi", A young servant whose name was SongYi said. She was the only one who was a little bit gentle with Aashmaan but she was moody too.
• Aashmaan opened the door and she came inside the room.
• "What do you want? Do you want me to work for you?", Aashmaan asked innocently.
• "No! I'm going to the market. Do you want to come?", SongYi said and Aashmaan squealed in happiness.
• In these six months, it was the first time Aashmaan was going out of the Suryanarayana mansion. Aashmaan immediately nodded and followed SongYi.
• .. ..
• .. ..
• In the Market:-
• "Hey, I'm going to buy something and if you want to see around then go but you must come back in thirty minutes. Understood", SongYi said and Aashmaan nodded her head.
• Aashmaan was looking around the street. A cool wind blew over her body and she felt fresh and new beauty inside her.
• But suddenly her body started to shake and her stomach was wringing out. Her legs were shaking and tears were flowing through her eyes. She wiped her tears and clutched her tummy tightly.
• "Ammo help me. It hurts. I'm in pain. My tummy hurts badly, Ammo", Aashmaan fell down and after a few minutes, she collected her courage and started to crawl and move forward.
• She was struggling and her steps were slow and painful.
• Suddenly she heard a very deep masculine voice behind her. She turned around only to meet the most beautiful deep Hazel-eye man.
• This hazel-eyed man was Neil Khanna aka DEVIL.
• She could not help but stare continuously at him.
• "How old are you?", He asked and she was looking into his eyes.
• "Eleven", Aashmaan said and clutched her tummy and whimpered in pain.
• Neil nodded and wrapped his shirt around her waist and she smelled his manly scent she felt very odd because it was the first time when she had done something weird like this to smell someone but it was true that his scent calmed her down and gave a feel of warmness which was missing from her life from last six months.
• Neil told her to go to the house and she did but she gave him a new name 'Long leg Uncle' which made him laugh openly at her innocence.
• Aashmaan felt embarrassed and looked down.
• Little Aashmaan asked his name and he replied, "DEVIL".
• She narrowed her eyes down at the name but didn't say anything to him then he asked her name and she said, "Angel"
• Because her Ammo also called her by this name and Ammo also taught her to never talk to any stranger but this stranger was not giving her any weird feeling so she simply said, 'Angel'.
• Again Devil left Angel alone after knowing that she was fine. She smiled and promised that whenever she met him again she would return his shirt to him.
• This was their first meeting. Their lives were lost and separated from each other. There was no interference of each other but faith was cruel and Karma was a thing that worked like a boomerang.
• Their lives would turn upside down and dark gloomy clouds would engulf them and leave them with nothing but DEVIL with his CRUEL Love.
• Aashmaan remembered About SongYi and she started walking quickly back and there she found SongYi angrily looking at her.
• "What happened?", SongYi asked when she saw her wrapped in a male shirt.
• Aashmaan told her everything. SongYi gasped and quickly took her to the house gave her sanitary napkins and told her about the menstrual cycles and important things related to this.
• Aaahman nodded and slept in the pain, unaware of the upcoming darkness and the storm in her life.
