''Here ..your protein shake'' Came her robotic voice.... ''I don't want'' I replied without turning towards her busy throwing punches on the bag... I was waiting for her to respond ....but no...instead I heard the shake going down the basin...I shook my head....how I wish that she would have pacified me...but No....she loves giving  3rd degree....that's my Chashni.....that's just a name...with me she is just opposite....My best friend ...buddy..critic...and my true reflection...I can hide pretend .... fake...but with of her  am bare...she can see through me....she is a sweet heart ...I know that but to many she is a beautiful stone statue ....some how I feel myself responsible for her cold eyes...

I am Neil Melhotra only child of Billionaire Nihal and Pererna Melhotra .... 5 yrs back a gravely injured man landed on our the door of our house in Mumbai...luckily we had come down on a vaccation from London ...he was a family friend of Dilip and Mala Mishra my parents child hood frinds..my father always spoke of them in high regards well I met them when I was 5....it was because of them that my parents were together....the man requested My dad to save Dilip's Uncle only alive child Radhika...Dilip and Mala Misha were murdered in their house over a property dispute and their elder daughter Ridhi whom I have a faint memory off committed suicide to save her honor...The man handed a copy of a will to my dad according to which my parents were the guardians of Radhika...I wanted my dad to ignore....but Nihal Melhotra turned the world upside down in search of 15 yr old Radhika....when we found her tied beaten locked in a dark room....her relatives were about to marry her off to a 40 yr old man...for 50 lakhs...when I first saw Radhika....I understood why that 40 yr old hog wanted to marry a child....she was nymph out of the stories....my mom cried holding the girl to her chest....she was so much like her mom....Dad avenged his friends in the most cruel possible way...we bought Radhika home after getting her treated...but I wasn't comfortable of her staying with us....taking responsibility of girl is a big job....I had many arguments with my parents..one of which was overheard by Radhika...in 2 days she informed us that she was leaving for a convent...I could never see in eye to her...My parents protested ...but the girl was adamant the day of her pick up....I came to see her off....she never looked at me....I felt guilty.....and then the eyes of the driver and the guard from the convent...they had sent a lady too...but I felt scared...Radhika left....2 hrs I felt I would choke...something was wrong....I picked my keys and drove off...my dad informed me that the Radhika's car met with an accident...I feared worst when I reached the spot....I found the staff with minor injuries ....I lost my temper....I have always been strong for my age..I made a pulp out of them and got to know ...she jumped of the vehicle to save herself....this was the first time in 18 yrs I cried calling out for her....no response...I searched in nearby  the woods and found her sitting in the shade of the tree.....her arm legs and face were badly bruised.....she had heard me yet she decided not to respond....I watched her with red eyes and trembling lips...she sat there without any emotion or expression of pain .... I requested she refused...finally my dad used the will to get her custody ..it took me one year to befriend her.....and when she did...trust me...I felt blessed to have her as my friend .... but the 3rd degree still is on

My Mom says she is my destiny.....I just laugh it off....I never believed in destiny...we make our own destiny on our will...and explaining my relationship with Chashni is impossible in words.... she is my reflection and I am her shield....nothing wrong will touch her till I am alive
