In present times, women emerge as sole leaders in the various field of life but still it is a bitter true that there conditions doesn’t change too much. Still they are the losers in the end of all these facts. Why should we go to temple or mosque when god is everywhere? I think that the answer to such question lies here that although air is everywhere but still we need a fan to feel its presence. You need a compressor to fill it in your vehicle’s tube similarly to understand the existence of god one need a medium like religious monuments or some natural charisma. I also want to throw light on something that we often neglect in our life while choosing a partner or friend that is character. To understand a human being you have to analyse his character. This story starts from a big city of Indian subcontinent. I start this story from the introduction of one of my main characters of this story. This story totally revolves around him. His name is tarun. He was a proven rapist which he admitted himself and now he is in the jail in relation to a murder. Every one is talking about him as this news becomes the highlight of newspapers. No one is ready to believe him. He is saying that he is innocent but his past record was against him. People are giving their judgement to hang him in public place but law did not allow this. There is no advocate ready to fight his case. All have strong faith that it was a clear cut case as he was caught red handed at the murder cite by police. Leaving only one girl in this world, all believed that he is guilty. The girl who is in his favour is gazal, the victim of the rape by him. She was quite assured that he cannot be a killer but still she kept her mum. Tarun in the jail had only one wish that gazal will get all the happiness she wishes in her life. Sitting in a corner of jail he was remembering his past. He went back in his memories. He was quite happy in his small family. But fate did not remain good for him for a long time and the worst in his life happened. Tarun’s father and mother died in an accident when he was sixteen years old. His uncle Mr. kalp narware took responsibility on his shoulders to provide him good education and to fulfill all his needs. Tarun’s father left a good bank balance behind him. His uncle was also a big businessman. Most of his uncle’s time was spent in the foreign countries in relation to his business tours. Though his uncle was good but his wife trishala (tarun’s aunt) was a modern highly selfish lady. She was medically unfit due to which she can’t deliver a child, but still she knew how to remain happy. She never considered herself to be responsible for this vacuum in their life. She had a firm believe that Mr.narware lack the reproducing power. Though, she had never discussed this belief with anyone. At first she didn’t like the decision of his husband to bring tarun. But later on, she agreed as he helped her in various household works. Tarun’s arrival had changed her life. Tarun was a teenaged boy, very shy in nature. He always followed the instructions of her aunt without arguing with her. It was the night of December month. Very cold waves were blowing around. Mr. narware was on the tour of Europe. He called from there to have a general talk with his wife.
Mr. narware said, ‘hello, how are you darling?’
Trishala replied, ‘I am fine. What about you?’
Mr. narware, ‘all’s well. I am missing you a lot.’
Trishala said, ‘so do I. even the weather here is also romantic.’
Mr. narware, ‘oh, this shows your love towards me. Take care. Someone is knocking the door here. I will call you back. Or otherwise I will talk to you tomorrow.’
After such general talk he kept the phone and so do his wife.
Trishala was feeling too cold. She went back in her bedroom. She changed her dress and wore nighty. She was touching 32 but still she appeared as young as a lady of just 22 years. She picked the remote and pressed a button to switch on the television before going into the quilt. Only night bulb of her bedroom was on spreading dim blue light all over the room. She kept on changing the channels and suddenly she stopped at a channel showing an adult movie. She could not move her eyes from the hot scenes shown on the television. Her body started shivering and she was feeling the absence of Mr.narware. She was dreaming about Mr.narware and suddenly the knock on the door of her bedroom broke her dreams. She changed the channel quickly and opened the door to find out tarun standing there.
She asked, ‘what happened?’
Tarun’s voice was shaking and he only uttered these words, ‘It was too cold. I want a quilt from the trunk that was kept in your room.’
Trishala looked at him; he was shivering in the cold in his night dress.
She ordered him to come inside. He followed the instructions. He entered the room and she asked him to open the trunk but there was a big lock over it. So she asked him to forget the quilt as the keys were in the cupboard of Mr. narware who locked his cupboard and keep the keys with him. Tarun turned back but trishal soon offered him to sleep in her bedroom. He had no courage to refuse the proposal. So he quietly lied down at one side of her bed. She closed the door and came back to join him. She looked at him; he was a very innocent, good looking boy. She also lied down next to him. The cold waves were still freezing her body. She just kept her hand over the hand of tarun. He didn’t respond. She got closer to him. Tarun was a teenager without thinking for the consequence; he didn’t oppose any of her moves. Trishala was still appeared to be a newly married bride. She leaned over him and at this moment tarun also turned his face to look towards the face of his aunt. He was still shivering and trishala in a romantic mood kept her lips over the poor boy. The boy also enjoyed this kiss and slowly he tried to hold the waist of his aunt. Knowing his motives, his aunt helped him in doing these activities and slowly she unbutton him lying completely over him. Both of them were enjoying that moment and thus after some time trishala crosses all the borders to fulfill her desire by removing her nighty. The white body smooth like marble with only undergarments over it was enough to deviate a young boy from his path. And thus the thing that happened between the two broke all the barriers of their relations. It was the beginning of sex life of tarun. He enjoyed every bit of it that night. Even his aunt also became lenient to him and she always took a great care of his needs from that night onwards. The first intercourse between them was accidental but it opened the gate for regular sexual intercourse between the two. She was in the physical relation with the young boy but still she could not conceive. Though the truth came forward to her that Mr. narware was complete but the deficiency lies in her but still she was not ready to cope up with the truth. In her greed for sex, she was already playing with the future of her nephew who being a teenager was not familiar with the bad consequence of this illicit relation. As there was no one in their family hence this truth was not revealed to any one even not to her husband. But everything in the life has tenure and slowly the young tarun was fascinated by his other young class mates of opposite sex. It happened when tarun passed his higher secondary exam and reached college. He got admission in an engineering college of his own city. In the first year of his college life, he met a beautiful middle class girl sonali. Though he liked her but he was unable to express his feelings towards her for one year. It was the night of 29th july, when one of their common friend priya organized her birthday party in hotel shalimaar. Tarun performed a dance at that party which drew attention of all the young girls present there. Sonali also sang a song which was praised by everyone present there. Priya introduced them to each other. They appreciated each other’s performance and shared there experience and other details in one or two hour conversation in that party. When the cake was cut, they pasted it over one another’s face and thus they came close to each other. That night priya had taken the responsibility of dropping sonali at her home but due to her friends and relatives she could not stand upto her promise so she requested tarun to drop her. Tarun happily accepted the offer and the two love birds got the chance of flying with each other without company of any other. In the way, tarun try to say something to her but could not dare to say.
Just to start the talk after starting the engine, He said ‘would you like to hear some soft music.’
She said shying, ‘whatever you like’
He said without waiting for a moment, ‘I like the song which is your favourite.’
She looked at him and said, ‘what?’
He turned the subject quickly, ‘where to precede means where your home is?’
Amazed by the questions She said, ‘you didn’t know my home. At the time of first semester’s exam, you came with gourav, one of our classmates.’
He said surprisingly, ‘you had noticed me, but that day I didn’t come out from my car.’
She said, ‘I have noticed you so many times roaming in my locality with your friend in this car only.’
As a thief caught red handed he quickly tried to turn the subject by asking, ‘how your studies are going?’
She said, ‘fine, but you please answer my question first.’
He shivers and said, ‘forgot it. It came out from my mouth accidentally.’
She said with a smile, ‘even you flirt with young girls accidentally.’
Both of them laughed.
After a pause filled with silence, he again said, ‘you girls are very smart. You knew each and every fact still you try to be ignorant and innocent.’
‘Yes, but we believe in a true relationship hence never overreact over small incidents. Stop the car here only. I don’t want that my colony people talk rubbish about me.’
She said with full confidence.
He could not understood that what she want to say. He drove the car to his home. That night he dreamed only about her.
After that night, they came closer to each other.
Slowly they started meeting each other often without any specific purpose. There is a saying that once the insect of love bite a person, he or she forgot whole world. Same was the case with the two. In the meantime, the management of the engineering college organized a picnic for the students of all the semester. Every one wanted to come on the picnic tour but the money charged by the college for this purpose was too much for middle class or poor students. So, sonali refused to ask her parents about the money. Tarun offer her money to join the party and get her name registered. At first she refused but once tarun insisted her, she agreed.
They all with their other friends were busy in the next few days planning for the picnic. In this session, tarun proposed her.
At first she didn’t respond but after few days she accepted his proposal.
They went to shimla on the tour, a cool hill station in the north India. The place was too attractive.
When they landed there, all were excited seeing the beautiful natural cites all around them. Hills with snow shedding over them seemed like mountains wearing white caps. They all reached the hotel by the bus arranged by the management for them. All together they were 152 students. Out of which 67 were girls. After getting fresh, they ate the breakfast and then they left with the party to see various beautiful natural spots. Both of them were sitting in the same bus and enjoying the Indian games like antakshari with full joy and pleasure. They roamed at various places and clicked photo graphs of each other and also get them clicked by the others in which the two appeared.
They promised to marry each other and the natural scenery of shimla became the evidence of their love.
In the evening, all the troops returned back to the hotel. The boys went back in their room to enjoy cigarettes and drinks by hiding these items from the faculty members. Though, the girls enjoy getting a small nap of sleep in their room. Tarun was also forced by his classmates to drink one or two glass which he had never done before. In the night, a camp fire was organized. In this camp fire all boys and girls get together to dance and sing with faculties watching the proceeding silently sitting over the chairs arranged there for them. Even one or two professor joined the dancing students for few minutes but till 10 o’ clock most of them left the place to have a nice sleep. As the night grew, most of the boys also left to enjoy the drink and all the couples move in secluded places to talk with their pair in loneliness. In the cold night of shimla, tarun accompanied with his girl friend sonali went to his room. His room partner went to other room to enjoy drink in a group. He asked sonali to come inside. At first she refused.
Tarun insisted her, ‘come on, he will not come before 2 o’ clock I know the boys better than you.’
Sonali said, ‘but if he would came earlier then what he will think about me.’
Tarun in harsh voice said, ‘what he will think? We are not going to do something illegal. I am calling you just for a talk.’
The trust she was having in him made her to change her decision. She entered the room.
Tarun locked it from inside and went to the bathroom to clean his hands. Sonali was feeling thirst so she looked around and luckily found a jug and a pair of glass on a table. She filled the glass and drinks it. Soon she spilt it out. Actually she drank the wine kept by tarun’s room partner in it. When tarun came back he saw the wine spilt out on the floor and sonali was sitting on the bed catching her head in his hands.
He asked, ‘what happened?’
She said, ‘I drank that liquid kept in the jug. Though I spilt it but even I am not feeling well.’
Hearing her words tarun started laughing.
She asked, ‘why are you laughing?’
He said in joking mood, ‘I thought that you are a good girl but I didn’t know that you also like to drink.
She said in surprise, ‘you mean it is liquor?’
He answered with a cute smile, ‘yes you got it right. But why did you spilt it? Is it strong for you?’
She nodded, ‘not so much but it tasted worse. I did not know why people like to drink it.’
He explained to her, ‘you are saying this only because you had not tasted it purposely. Just try one or two glass then give your opinion.’
She refused by saying, ‘thanks for your suggestion but I don’t want to drink.’
He insisted, ‘actually you are afraid of loosing self control.’
She said opposing tarun, ‘no, this is not the matter.’
‘Then come on drink it. For my sake,’ he said and offered a glass full of wine to her.
She took it and drank it in one sip. She asked for another and tarun quickly fill the other one for her.
After drinking two or three glass, she started feeling toxic effect. She tried to stand but fell on the bed after loosing the balance. Tarun also had two or three glass of wine with her but he was habitual so it didn’t affect him too much.
She asked for tarun’s help and again tried to stand by holding his collar but his shirt torn out and she again fell on the bed.
She giggled at her act and said, ‘I am extremely sorry that I torn out your shirt. You please don’t get angry. Take mine.’
Though tarun was not angry but he was still looking towards his torn out shirt quietly. Before he could understood something, sonali under the effect of liquor, started opening the button of her shirt. She took it off and by stretching her hand offered to tarun. But tarun’s eyes were focused at her body as a young girl in black brassiere tied over her well shaped grown up breast was lying in his bed. He took the shirt and threw it aside. He was excited after seeing sonali in this position. He took out his torn out shirt and lean over the beauty.
She asked, ‘what are you doing?’
He said calmly, ‘nothing just checking your smoothness.’
She resisted a little. But he kept his hand over her breast and without wasting a second pulled the bra up. Her medium size nice boobs appeared to him. She tried to keep him away but he forcibly made her to lie on the bed and put her nipples in his mouth and started sucking them. At first she tried to oppose him but soon she surrendered as she was also enjoying the process. He moved his hand slowly to her jeans and pulled its zip to take it out from her legs. He started kissing her at various parts madly. Then he took out his pants to do the thing which he had never thought of doing with sonali before marriage. Sonali and tarun both enjoyed it that time but when she realized that what she had done on waking at 4 o’clock. She left the room crying over her own fate.
Tarun woke at 6 o’clock. By his luck or god’s grace, his room partner didn’t return back. He stayed at the party room with the group of boys in the night. Tarun after seeing his own condition realized what happened last night. He was feeling extremely sorry for his own act so he tried to contact sonali by dialing her room’s telephone number but it was picked by her room partner. When he asked to give the phone to sonali, she said that she did not want to talk to him. In the morning, the whole group got ready to visit different places so she had to come with them. She wanted to stay away from tarun but tarun followed her to each cite to talk to her. At last he found her alone at one point to put forth his view.
He said, ‘I know that I am your culprit but please don’t behave like this. I assured you that whatever happened between us remain a secret between us and I will marry you as soon as possible. But for god’s sake, please smiles don’t remain quiet like it.’
She responded in anger, ‘it is easy for you guys to say sorry after committing a sin but you will never understand pain of a young girl after it. I am worried about my future. I broke the heart of my parents as I am unable to keep the faith of my parents over me. I lost my self esteem and honour of my parents just to please you. I am not blaming you. I am cursing the moment at which I drank the liquor.’ And with these words she started sobbing.
Tarun tried to sort out the matter by making her believe that he will surely marry her but still she was not convinced completely. The joy of the journey was lost for the two, though others were still enjoying. The picnic proved to be a disaster for the relationship of the two. They went to it with full joy but returned back sadly due to that black one night of their life.
When they came back to the city, tarun tried to sort out his fault by convincing his uncle and aunt for his marriage with sonali. His uncle was again on the tour so he thought to have a talk over this subject with his aunt. He was quite assured that it was easy to convince the aunt who had the last decision in his home as uncle never objected to her.
His aunt was thinking something else as she was waiting eagerly for tarun to fulfill her needs. Once tarun came back, she called him to her room. Tarun, seeing an opportunity to talk, quickly responded and reached her room. She was waiting on her bed dressed in silky white coloured gown.
Looking towards tarun she said in an invitational mood, ‘come on chap, I felt all alone these days without you.’
Tarun uninterested in her offer sat beside her on the bed with head down looking on the floor to discuss his own matter. She did not notice it and tried to pull him but soon she realized that he was not interested in her.
She asked him in soft voice, ‘is everything okay? What happened to you? I am waiting for you eagerly to enjoy the night but you are thinking of something else. Is there something that was disturbing you?’
He just shook his head to say yes.
She asked by pulling his chin by her hand to turn his face towards her, ‘what’s the matter?’
He said looking in ground, ‘I wanted to marry.’
She was totally amazed at his answer said, ‘are you gone nut? How can we marry? What you will say to public and what is its need? We are already living and enjoying with one another. So, form where did you get this rubbish idea?’
He said with little hesitation, ‘I am not talking about our marriage. I am talking about my marriage. I am in love with a girl and I want to marry her as soon as possible.’
Her face turn red and she said, ‘what about our relation? What about me? I will not leave you now.’
He said begging in front of her aunt, ‘whatever happened between us was an accident. Please forgot it and leave me to live my own life according to my will.’
She filled with anger said, ‘it was an accident! Then why that accident happened here daily. You men were all rascals. Once you desire you want a women and when you achieved her then you leave her at your own will. No, I will not leave you. I will not let you to marry any girl.’
He also came in anger, ‘and what will be the probable reason you give to uncle against my marriage. I will marry the girl of my dream against your wish.’
After hearing this sentence she get calmed and said in polite manner, ‘I am just measuring the depth of your love. You won my dear, I am ready for it. I will love to talk to your uncle regarding this matter but at least gave me her introduction.’
Overwhelmed by the response of her aunt tarun told her, ‘she was my class mate sonali. I love her too much. She lived in richa apartments, flat no. 291, borivali.’
‘Okay I will talk to her parents about the marriage.’ She promised to tarun.
Tarun got excited after hearing this and after thanking her aunt he left her room.
Her aunt remained all alone in the room. Her lips were shaking due to anger and once her ire cross the limit she threw the entire make up items kept over the dressing table in anger. A heart broken lady is always dangerous than a futile serpent. She thought something and dialed a number by her mobile.
‘Hello, teja,’ she whispered.
‘Yes, teja is speaking.’ The voice from the other side appeared to be confused.
‘teja, I am mrs.trishala narware speaking. I want to meet you.’ She spoke on the phone.
‘Oh yes! I remembered you madam. You have called me after very long time. Is everything okay?’ he inquired.
‘Yes, you just listen me. Meet me in the evening at hotel lake view at sharp 7 o’clock tonight.’ She ordered and cut the call.
On the other side tarun tried hard to have a talk over this matter with sonali but all his efforts gone in vain as she did not pick his call for a single time. He went to her house also but she didn’t come out and her mother gave him the excuse that she is not at home though he knew the truth. He left the place after deciding that he will convince her in the college and later on talk about this matter. Next day when he went to the college, he didn’t find her. He asked her friends but no one knew the reason. He bunked the classes and left the college to reach her home. He was surprised to found a big lock hanging over the door. He asked in her neighbourhood but no one knew anything about the family. He thought that they went to visit any of their relatives. So better to wait for few days but no one of the family members returned after a week. This made him little confused. Even priya and other also helped him in his search. They all lodged a complaint in the nearby police station but nothing happened.
Tarun broke after losing his love like this and started drinking liquor too much. Even several times he did not come home for so many nights. This situation worried his uncle and aunt. They wanted a solution of this problem. Trishala was also feeling as a loser. She wanted him back. So she put forth a proposal in front of her husband and decided to marry tarun with the daughter of a rich merchant bhuvan bhadauria of their city.
Mr.narware objected, ‘but you know that his daughter is mentally disturbed.’
Trishala at once replied, ‘so, whom do you think will give her daughter to a drunkard who did not return home for so many days. They will give lot of money as dowry and atleast we will have a reason to force him to stay home. If the idea doesn’t succeeded then also no one will object over it as Mr. and Mrs. Bhadauria also wanted to get rid of their mentally disturb daughter.’
The ladies are always at their best in handling the situations or convincing their spouse. Same happened there and mr. narware agreed with her. Though, he did not know about the plan running in the mind of his wife. She wanted to keep tarun at home but didn’t want to share him with another lady. She planned it as she guessed that after marriage he will do sex at least for one time and this helped him in forgotting his love and once he found a mentally disturb girl as his wife he will surely chose me. ‘By this method I will once again get him back’ she thought like it.
As decided they started planning of marriage of tarun with pratyasha (an insane girl).
Trishala called Mr. bhadauria and his family to share lunch with them according to the proposed plan. She asked tarun to stay at home today as someone very important was coming to meet him. Though tarun did not want to stay at the home but still he had no other choice. He sat in his home and started drinking liquor which was his routine nowadays.
Mr. and mrs. Bhadauria when came for the lunch till that time tarun had drank one complete bottle of liquor. He was not in proper state so when Mr. bhadauria asked him about his wish, he without saying a word agreed to his proposal. All celebrated the moment due to different reasons but the matter was same that is engagement of tarun with pratyasha. Trishala without wasting time took out an engagement ring and asked tarun to pour it in the fingers of pratyasha. He was under the influence of liquor so he acted according to the instructions provided to them. With the exchange of rings with one another, the ceremony was completed and Mr. and Mrs. Bhadauria left the place happily after giving various presents which they brought with them. Next day when tarun woke then he found a ring in his finger. He at once left the bed to inquire about it. When he reached drawing hall, he found his uncle and aunt sitting there on the breakfast table busy in conversation. As they saw tarun, Mr. narware called him for sharing breakfast with them.
He pulled a chair to sit and without waiting for a second asked, ‘who put this ring in my hand?’
Mr. narware smiled at his question and spoke gently, ‘tarun, don’t take it otherwise! It is just an advice. You control your drinking otherwise one day you will forgot us also.’
Amused by his answers, tarun again inquired, ‘I am not getting your motive. Please, explain me in detail whatever you want to say?’
Now it was the turn of trishala, she strictly scolded him, ‘what the hell you don’t understand? It is quite clear instruction that leave your drinking habit otherwise one day you will not recognize us also as you had forgotten your fiancé.’
‘fiance, what rubbish you are talking? Who is my fiancé?,’ he showers the questions in amazement.
Now it was the turn of his uncle to get amused. ‘What do you want to say? Is it that you forgotten your engagement that took place with your consent last night with pratyasha.’
‘Yes, I don’t know when it happens? I don’t want to marry anyone.’ He argued.
‘This is not the way to respond. What about our prestige? How you can play with the emotions of an innocent girl.’ This time his aunt shouted.
His uncle also stand at his place in anger and threw the glass on the ground, ‘what the hell you want to say? Are we fooling? Whether we have any importance in your life or you want to live all alone with this bloody liquor? You have to choose between us and your decision of not to marry pratyasha.’
The fault was his so he accepted their decision as he did not want to create any scene there. He can’t go against the wishes of his uncle so he agreed to marry the girl whom they have chosen for him without willing to see her again.
Love is not a line that can be wiped out by a wet cloth or rubbed by an eraser. Same thing happened with tarun. His marriage with pratyasha was just a contract on which he had signed forcibly. Every night he came home late by late but no one was there to argue with her. Pratyasha, who does not know what marriage is, had never protested. The only person who was not happy with this was trishala. Her plan did not work according to her. One night when tarun came home at one o’clock in the night, he found trishala at the entrance door waiting for him. His uncle was again on the tour and he drunk too much that night, thus not in the position of standing on his own feet. Trishala took him to his room by giving support of her shoulder. When she entered the bedroom of tarun with him, pratyasha was sleeping deeply. Trishala was fully familiar with the state of pratyasha and tarun. So seeing a chance, she closed the door and tried to kiss tarun. Tarun was drunk so he did not revolted but didn’t show any interest in her.
In the drunken state he spoke, ‘I hate you trishala. You arranged my marriage against my wish but still I am unable to forget my love sonali. I will remain her forever. I have no interest left in sex with you. You just stay away from me.’ After saying these words he pushed trishala away.
Trishala was an expert lady. She knew how to handle these situations so she try to drew tarun’s attention towards his young wife pratyasha and said, ‘I knew that you are in love with sonali and hence I arranged your marriage with your love. See towards her she is none other than sonali.’
Tarun protested, ‘you think I am drunk. I knew my sonali. I can smell her. She is someone else.’
Trishala convinced him by continuously saying that the lady sleeping on his bed is none other than sonali. She gave her two more glass full of wine after filling them from the bottle arranged in a shelf. The wine worked and it made tarun to believe that sonali was lying on the bed. He reached closer to pratyasha misunderstanding her with sonali. As he touché d her hand she woke up and get frightened after seeing tarun sitting so close to her. Trishala controlled her and asked her to drink wine remained in the bottle. She obeyed her like an obedient child and trishala moved one more step close to her motive. Once pratyasha get intoxicated, then trishala asked her to remove her nighty. She refused to do it. She inspired her by removing her own nighty. She followed her and did the same. Although she was mad but god had gifted him with a perfect body. Fully grown breast, thin waist and a sexy navel just in the middle of her stomach was enough to divert tarun. Seeing her well shaped body, even trishala got jealous for a while but soon she shook her head to throw all this rubbish from her mind and concentrated on her work. Tarun after seeing her got excited and the liquor did its work. by removing his shirt he moved a step further. He tried to touch the body of pratyasha but again she protested. Tarun get frustrated by her protest but trishala made her to copy her. She opened the hook of her bra and asked pratyasha to do same process. She was enjoying copying trishala. This make the work of trishala a little bit easier. She also removed her bra. This act excited tarun. He wanted to kiss her body parts without waiting for a second but she was not letting him to do it. Trishala asked him to kiss her first so she will repeat the process and you may fulfill your desire. Tarun in order to achieve the closeness of pratyasha kissed trishala at various parts. This excited both of them and trishala hold him so hard that he had to fulfill her desire first. Pratyasha watched the entire process as a spectator. After satisfying trishala, tarun get tired and lie aside on the bed but his desire to taste the body parts of pratyasha didn’t end there. Trishala after enjoying sex waved his hands in the hairs of pratyasha. It makes her feel good. After ten or fifteen minutes, tarun told her desire to trishala. Trishala didn’t want to enrage tarun so she tried to convince pratyasha for sex. She advised tarun to move her hand slowly over her body parts. Tarun followed her instructions. At first pratyasha didn’t objected but once tarun moved over her. She try hard to rescue herself from his grip. But this time he was helped by trishala who hold pratyasha’s head straight and stretch her hand up to keep them under his weight. Tarun then forcibly made physical contact with her. She screamed lot but no one except those two were present in the house to listen her cry. Even if someone was there then also he can’t do anything as a husband was making physical relation with his wife which was not an offence in any country whether it was forcibly or without her consent. Yes the offense was that it was in presence of one more external member but who cares. That night pratyasha felt the pain of physical relation but it proved to be good for her mental sickness. This process took place for so many other nights. This brings tarun closer to his wife and even it helped pratyasha to gain healthy mind. She was improving day by day and one day when tarun called a doctor to check her when she complaint of continuous pain in the legs, the doctor told him that he was soon going to become father.
He was so happy and for the first time in life he noticed the change occurred in his wife pratyasha. She was recovering from mental illness very rapidly. She also slowly started feeling the change in her condition. Her mother when heard about her pregnancy felt too happy. She called her to her own home to deliver her first child at her parent’s home. Tarun also sent her happily as he knew that her mother can take better care of her. Trishala was shocked by this news and now she was planning something which can affect the health of pratyasha. The recovery of pratyasha was an obstacle in her motives. She also favoured the decision of sending her to her parent’s home. She did not want to do any harm to her here because it can directly raise finger towards her. So when she went back to her parent’s home trishala behaved normally and send a maid after giving her instructions to take care of pratyasha. The maid hired by her reached the pratyasha’s parent’s home and handed them a letter signed by trishala. Trishala wanted to kill pratyasha with the help of that maid. She wanted that the killing appeared to be an accident. For this she gave one lakh rupees to the maid in advance. But fortune was always with pratyasha. Whenever the maid got a chance, someone came in and her plan failed. This irritated trishala and one day she abuses the maid on telephone. The maid refused to do the job provided to her.
Trishala wanted her money back but maid didn’t return the money and left the job. Trishala’s fate smiled at last. One day when pratyasha was descending down the stairs, her leg slipped and she fell with her bulged stomach. She was taken to the doctor but they could not save her as too much blood flew before reaching hospital. This incident made trishala smiled over her luck but it broke tarun completely. He got drowned in the liquor after this accident. Life proved bitter to him second time after he grew up.
Trishala met vishambharnath at the house of Mr. bhadauria on the occasion of last rituals of pratyasha. Vishambharnath was a politician and in those days he was searching for a new face to contest election on their party ticket from their constituency.
A common friend of two gave the introduction of them to each other.
Vishambharnath said, ‘Mrs. Narware, I have heard about your beauty and reputation and found that all the things said about you was a bitter lie. You are extremely pretty than expected by me.
Flattered by his words trishala responded, ‘I had heard that the politicians didn’t have heart but that also appear a wrong judgement after meeting you.’
Vishambharnath said, ‘this is not the time to discus these matter but still I think politics need ladies like you very badly.’
Trishala responded, ‘but I don’t like politics.’
Vishambharnath gave her a free advice, ‘you join our party and see the changes that will occur in your life. What ever you desire will be in your reach and if it won’t happen, you may leave it.’
Trishala added with a relief, ‘I will definitely think over it.’
Vishambharnath quickly replied, ‘I will wait for you this Sunday.’
She smiled and moved towards pratyasha’s parents to show her concern in their grief.
Tarun was shattered completely and this results in his deteriorating health. He was advised by the doctors to leave the city to change the environment around him. In order to change the environment his uncle sent him to Bangalore as manager of their old company. He left the city with the memories of pratyasha and his future child. Here trishala became all alone in that big house. She had no servant as she didn’t want any disturbance in love making with tarun but now the loneliness tease her so she decided to join the politics. An ambitious lady got all the things she needed in this field when she entered the politics. Vishambharnath was a politician of age nearly about forty five but still young to attract a thirty plus lady. Their views matched with each other and she started enjoying his company. He took her on foreign tour with him which her husband had never asked for. He bought her a diamond necklace without caring about its cost. All these small things he had done for her were enough to fascinate her. He wanted her to contest election from sadhogarh constituency this time as the seat was reserved for a lady this time. His wife died in riots five years ago during the election time. Although the truth lies behind her death was something else. She was murdered by her own husband in order to win the sympathy of public to win the election. But the truth was not always proved to be victor in this modern age. It was buried under the ground with the weightage of money and power. Same case happened there. He had a son of age twelve years studying in Bangalore. Since he had no lady member close to him hence he wanted an experienced lady to contest the election so that he can use her for fulfilling his own motives. He found these qualities in trishala and hence offered her this chance. She also agreed without waiting for her husband’s permission as it seems a golden chance to her to grab such an opportunity coming to her at the door. A housewife when turned into politicians then her life changed completely. Daily meetings, public meetings, social activities etc. how the day ends in this busy schedule was not known to her.
Tarun with his grief reached the airport of Bangalore where he was received by his secretary anushka, a pretty young widow with long hairs upto her waist and big beautiful innocent eyes. Her age was about 27 to 28 years. A mother of a daughter of age eight to ten years was still young. Her daughter’s name was gazal. She also came to the airport to receive her mother’s boss.
Anushka was standing at the airport with a board mentioning tarun’s name as she had never seen him though she got an email with his photograph to have a rough idea about him. Tarun after coming out from the routine checking of custom waved his hand after seeing his name written on the board to inform his arrival to the lady. After coming closer to her he inquired, ‘so you are mrs.anushka.’
She said, ‘yes sir, and she is my daughter gazal.’
‘hi gazal, what a sweet name you have? I am sorry I hadn’t been informed about you otherwise I had brought chocolates for you. So please pardon me.’ He said to her to please her.
Gazal responded with a smile and said, ‘its okay uncle, you talked to me in such a good manner that I got the sweetness of chocolates in your wordings.’
Fascinated by the effective talking manner of a small girl tarun added, ‘I would like to make friendship with you if you don’t mind.’
‘I felt special on your offer.’ She responded and offered her hand to shake.
He shook his hand with her and kissed her at her forehead to show his respect towards her. Her mother drew their attention by asking a question, ‘sir, if you give permission shall we move.’
‘Oh, yes mrs.anushka I forgot while talking to my small friend that we have lot of work to do.’ He added with a smile and moved towards the company car standing outside.
Anushka instructed an office boy to pick up the luggage of their boss and he followed her instruction with full respect.
Anushaka was an efficient and faithful secretary of her boss. She was living a nice life as a house wife of mukul. Both of them love each other too much. They eloped against their parents wishes to marry each other. But their fate had something else for them. Two years after their marriage mukul died in indo-pak war. He was a brave soldier who died for the country. But mukul parent’s thought that it happen due to the worse feet of anushka. They didn’t help her after their son’s death nor do the parents of anushka pardon her. When all the doors were closed for her she decided to do job herself for her child’s sake which was in his stomach that time. She was an educated girl so she applied in various company and was selected here as the personal assistant of the manager.
Tarun when came here didn’t like the company’s work in the starting. He always liked to stay away from work and try to remain alone. Anushka first thought that he is reserved nature but soon he discovered that he was hiding something in his heart. The only time she found him happy when he met her daughter. She never knew what bond lied between the two that they enjoy each other company. Gazal found a security in the form of tarun who appear as her father. Sometime anushka also got confused as so many habits of tarun matched with mukul. One day when tarun was signing a document without reading it, anushka advised him, ‘sir, if you will not mind. Should I ask a question from you?’
‘Yes, why not?’ arose from his memories he said.
‘What is the pain that you are trying to hide from me?’ she asked.
‘Why do you think so?’ he utter with vibrating words.
‘I have seen you crying in the loneliness.’ She said with guilt.
‘Oh, that is the matter. I don’t want to tell my past but still I lost so many loved ones, first my parents, then my love sonali and now my wife pratyasha.’ He said with grief.
‘You know sir we all have lost so many precious things but life is like that only. What you think that I have not lost my husband but still I am living for the sake of my daughter’s future. I didn’t leave my work. So why are you behaving so? Don’t you have friends like my daughter and well wishers like your uncle and aunt and even me?’ She informed with slight hesitation.
‘I am a lady still I didn’t let my life to win easily.’ She added.
‘Okay I understand what you want to say but there was a condition if you agree to it, I am ready to do my work popularly.’ He kept his view over it.
‘And what was it?’ she asked in confusion.
‘You and your daughter will have dinner with me once a week.’ He said in a breath.
After thinking for a while she added, ‘but it will be at my house cooked by me.’
‘We will have dinner only for two times at your home and remaining two dinners outside in a month.’ He proposed.
‘Are you afraid of my cooking?’ She inquired.
‘No, that’s not the matter actually I promised to gazal earlier.’ He described.
She smiled and shook her head to give her consent.
The bond and the relation between them become strong and friendship of anushka and love of gazal gave him power to forget the memories of pratyasha. He again started smiling. Their life was going all well till the time the problems arrived suddenly without any notice. It was night of august month. Tarun went to anushka’s house for the dinner of that week. The clouds were darkening at that time. They all sat on the dining table to take the dinner. Rain started felling with loud sound and lightening. Gazal demanded ice cream from her mother after the dinner.
Anushka try to convince her, ‘sorry dear, I forgot to bring it. You will get it tomorrow.’
Gazal said, ‘no I want it now.’
Anushka scolded her for misbehaving.
She kept quiet. But tarun stood to bring ice cream.
Anushka requested, ‘sir, please don’t go outside. It was raining very heavily.’
Tarun kept her quiet by saying these words, ‘you don’t worry anushka, and I will bring it from the nearby shop at the corner. You just give me an umbrella.’
She didn’t resist anymore but severely criticized her daughter for her act.
Tarun returned back after ten minutes but he was completely wet. Anushka asked him to change his cloth first.
She said, ‘sir, you change your cloth and give your wet cloth to me I will dry them in the washing machine.’
At first he refuse but when both mother and daughter forced him he agreed.
She gave him a towel and a pair of pant shirt of her husband and put his cloth in the drier of washing machine. Since the measurement of pant didn’t match with him so he just covered his bottom with the towel and wore the shirt. They ate the ice cream which was served by gazal in the meantime. He was feeling awkward and the moment they finished the ice cream electricity supply of their locality was cut off. The darkness prevailed all around. Anushka ignited a candle to provide light.
Gazal enjoyed the situation and said, ‘tarun uncle, why don’t you stay tonight at my home?’
She said it with such innocence but her mother got little worried over her proposal. There are only two bed rooms in their home and if tarun stayed here then it will give people a chance to talk rubbish about them. But how can she ask tarun to leave her home in such a heavy rain without his cloth in such darkness. Both of them remain quiet for a long time and only gazal talked in the meantime. Anushka called electricity board office to know the time when the supply was again started. They answered that a major fault was the cause of power failure and it will be repaired after the rain stopped. Gazal now feeling sleep so she decided to go to bed. Only they two left in the room and the rainfall is making the atmosphere cool. Tarun asked her to tell something about mukul to avoid awkwardness.
Anushka started telling him about her husband. She went back in her memories and become emotional while telling about his death. Tarun sympathized with her and kept his hand over her shoulder. She was shocked by the touch of a gentleman after such a long time. To avoid the condition she stood from her chair and try to move but strike something in the darkness and fell down. Tarun came to help her. He picked her up and helped her to stand by his support. Nerve of her leg stretched and it become painful for her to stand. She wanted to keep him away but couldn’t dare to say it. Suddenly a lightening with a loud sound threatened her and she hugged him in fear. Tarun gripped her strongly in his arms. She was trembling but her lips were not opposing tarun’s action. May be it was the fire of sex that again ignited by the touch of tarun in her. Tarun was excited by the touch of her long hairs lost his thinking and put his lips on her shoulder. Excited by the kisses on her shoulder anushka also tighten her grip on him and started moving her hands on his back. He gave a jerk to her head and brought it in the front of his eyes. She lost her thinking power and tarun put his lips on her lips. The heavy rain made the atmosphere cool and a hot lady in your arms were enough to distruct you from true path. Early in the morning anushka awoke to found herself sleeping in the arms of tarun. The electricity fault was repaired. Thank god that gazal was still sleeping. With a feeling of guilt she awoke tarun and asked him to leave her home as quickly as possible. Tarun also realized his fault and after changing his clothes left the place.
Anushka was amazed on her own activity. How could I do it? Why I couldn’t control my emotions? Why I felt week at that crucial time? So many questions were running in his mind since this morning. If there was a switch to erase our past she will definitely used it. But nothing could happen now so she went in the bathroom and took a long bath to clean her soul. Though it was obvious for a lady to deviate from the right path in these circumstances but why true Indian ladies are termed as goddess lies in this fact that they never dream to cheat their dead husband also. Same was the case of anushka. Anushka and trishala were two opposite faces of same coin. One was feeling guilt as she cheated her dead husband while other wanted to enjoy the life by cheating her alive husband. May be possible that the readers consider them culprits but in my opinion they were not wrong, it was the loneliness that threw them in these condition. A person who is still alone can understand their condition properly. What was our frame of mind in such condition made us to distinguish between true and false. But sex is a thing that blocks your mind first. Leave that matter I am not a psychologist to discuss that whether she had done right or wrong but one thing was sure she was feeling the guilt of her act.
Tarun on other side was also tense. He could not gather the courage to face anushka again. She was a widow away from sex for long time so it’s easy to understand that she needed it badly and that one touch of love memorize her sweet memories of her husband, but why he had done this to her. Why he awoke those sleeping memories in her hearts. Why he took advantage of a nice lady who could not resist his illegal intentions? All such questions were striking his mind. After a long fight with his intuitions he came to a conclusion. Isn’t it an injustice to her by god that he took her husband away when she needed her too much? Why she didn’t oppose his act? Doesn’t she need love in this age? A good heart person is like that only, he try to compensate all the worse condition happened due to his fault. He decided to propose her for marriage. But again a thought struck his mind, how gazal will react at this relation? Whether she will accept me as her father? How she will face her colleagues? After thinking for these questions he dropped the idea of proposing anushka. But he wanted to repent for his sin. He was thinking of the way to repent, suddenly his mobile rang.
He took the call and said, ‘tarun is speaking, and can I know who is calling?’
The voice from the other side said, ‘hi tarun, I am trishala speaking. There was good news for you. You just pack your luggage and come back today itself.’
‘You mean to say trishala aunt; you have again changed your mobile number.’ He asked with wonder.
‘Not only numbers I have changed my mobile also but forgot about these things you book your ticket at once and come back quickly.’ She ordered.
‘But what’s the matter? Atleast you tell me that.’ He requested.
‘I got the ticket of praja shakti party for the member of parliament from sadhogarh constituency.’ She said cheerfully.
‘What?’ he said surprisely.
‘Yes, I want you to come here back and start propaganda for me.’ She ordered.
‘Is my presence essential?’ he asked.
‘No, I will win the election without any support.’ She yelled in anger.
‘Okay I am coming.’ He said and cut the call.
He was as confused as he didn’t want to go back but he can’t disobey his aunt. Even he didn’t want to leave anushka and gazal here but the incident that took place last night made her to leave the city. He thought it was better to go back than to face anushka.
He made a call to his office to enquire about anushka.
Tarun said, ‘hello, I tarun is speaking. Give the phone to anushka madam.’
‘I am suzy speaking sir; anushka madam didn’t came office today.’ She explained.
‘Any application or reason behind her leave that she had sent to the office,’ He asked.
‘No sir, till now we have not received any excuses or application.’ She described in polite language.
‘Please call her back and ask the reason and intimate me immediately. Remember it’s an emergency.’ He ordered.
‘Okay sir.’ She said and cut the call to make another call.
She dialed anushka’s number after seeing the staff’s diary and said, ‘hello, anushka madam, I am suzy from the office. I called you to know the reason behind your absence as order by tarun sir.’ She said in one breathe.
‘I am not feeling well today that’s why I didn’t come to office. I will send leave application if it is needed now or otherwise I will talk to sir.’ She spoke to her.
‘Thank you, madam.’ She said and cut the call to dial tarun’s number.
‘Hello sir, she is not feeling and she said that she will talk to you later.’ Suzy described to her sir.
‘Thank you, Miss suzy.’ And he cut the call.
He dialed anushka’s land line number and said, ‘hello, it’s me.’
She said, ‘why did you call here?’
He explained, ‘I know we have committed a mistake and after that you didn’t want to see my face but this is my request to you. Please, don’t try to leave the job. I am going back today and I promise you that no one will know about that mistake which happened between us. You please try to understand that I have not made friendship with you with such purpose but for that one moment I became weak and this happen. Please, keep working here not for me but for gazal’s future. You will not have to face me anymore. Please, I don’t want to loose a well wisher of mine. I am extremely sorry. If you trust my words then please come back to the office otherwise I will understand that you didn’t faith me. Please give my love to gazal and tell her that wherever I will live I will always remember and care for her and her mo…..ther.’ the words shake a little bit And the tears came out from his eyes; he cut the call before he started sobbing.
He packed his luggage and In the evening took the flight to reach sadhogarh.
Reaching the sadhogarh the first thing he had done next morning was a call, back to Bangalore. He called at office number to enquire about anushka. But no one picked the call then he realized his fault that most of the office opens after 10 o’clock. He waited till 10 o’clock as his aunt was out of sadhogarh in relation to a meeting in a nearby town. At 10:18, he again called to confirm whether anushka joined the duty or not.
‘Hello suzy, I am tarun. I called to know whether anushka madam came today or not?’ he spoke at phone.
‘Yes sir, she is in her chamber. If you want to talk to her then I will transfer the call to her.’ She asked.
‘No, don’t transfer it. I just called to know whether she came or not. Thank you suzy for informing Me.’ he pleaded.
‘That’s my duty sir.’ She said and kept the receiver.
The call was cut and tarun was relaxed. He was too happy that at last anushka joined the duty but he was little worried about gazal. So he called at her home to have a chat with her. She took the phone.
‘Hello, can I know who is speaking?’ she asked.
‘Hi gazal, I am tarun speaking.’ He told her with excitement.
‘I don’t want to talk to you. You are a cheater.’ She yelled at him.
He got afraid by her wordings and in fear pleaded, ‘what happened? How I have cheated you?’
‘You left me alone without any notice. I hate you. You cheated me. You have broken your promise of staying always with me.’ She had thrown so many reasons behind her ire and started sobbing.
‘Please, control yourself and listen to me carefully. I am always with you but somebody here needed me more than you. I came here for few days and soon I will return back to you.’ He tried to convince her.
‘Promise,’ she said with joy.
‘Promise,’ He confirmed.
After a long general talk with her, he kept the phone.
In the evening, again phone number of gazal’s home started flashing over his mobile. He picked the call.
‘Hello,’ he said.
‘I am anushka speaking. I want to talk to you.’ Without any formality she spoke directly.
‘Yes, say what I can do for you?’ with a joy in action and smile on his face he asked.
‘If you want that I shouldn’t leave the job you have to do a favour for me.’ She kept her proposal.
‘Okay tell the job that I have to do for your happiness.’ Coming out of his guilt he spoke.
‘I want that you have to stay away from my daughter. Please don’t try to contact either her or me anyhow. Please leave us at our own conditions.’ She pleaded.
‘Why you are doing this to me? I had accepted my fault and left the city but now breaking all contacts mean what?’ he asked after being shocked by hearing her conditions.
‘I don’t want to become weak in my decision. Please stay away from her. It will be better for her future. I have no complaint with you. I have no regrets with my past but I will not want that the society will point any finger towards my daughter. So, please remember this. Whenever I came to know that you have try to contact my daughter I will leave the job and left the city.’ She warned him.
‘But what should I do if she tries to contact me.’ He asked.
‘Don’t respond to her call. Slowly she will forget you and I will help her in doing so.’ She said without bothering about his response.
‘But don’t you think that it is an injustice with me and her.’ He again asked.
‘Yes sure, but you have to pay price for the sin you have done.’ She proclaimed.
‘But you also accompanied me in that sin.’ The words which he didn’t want to say came out of his mouth.
‘Yes, I knew and I am ready to pay for it.’ She whispered and cut the call to control her emotions. She too was missing a friend whom she likes too much but she didn’t want her heart to win over her mind. Hence, she buried all such emotions deep in the depth of her hearts. As her punishment, she started wearing pure white cotton saris so that she will not appear beautiful anymore. She was a typical Indian lady who sacrifices everything for the sake of her child even her own happiness also.
On the other side, tarun’s aunt when returned back from her tour was unable to recognized by him as she had lot of change in her. Her hairs were cut into short, a bag was hanging at her shoulders, and too much lipstick at her lips with black eye lines in her eyes was making his appearance a distinctive one than her previous one.
She gave the job of propaganda manager of her election program to him. He had no right to oppose this decision. He had to follow all such instructions given to him. For the next two month he had not seen his bedroom also as he was busy in covering different areas of sadhogarh constituency either with trishala devi or with vishambarnath. Sometime he had to tackle various situations all alone. These two month just before the election gave him a good idea of politics and made him an expert in this field but still he have to learn a lot. His aunt went too far to catch her. His uncle try to help her but soon fade up of all these problems and advised him to leave this field and live a happy life but trishala was an ambitious lady and this time she was under the control of vishambarnath. She was unaware of the fact that she was a weapon in the hand of vishambarnath who was using her for his own sake.
But the sparrow was trapped completely in the trap of fowler. She enjoyed his company and try to be with him for most occasion while his husband was against her decision of joining politics as this was disturbing his own life. When the water level went above his head he started applying restrictions to her night outings. This made her in furious and she started violating such rules made by her own husband. Consequently, these small disputes created a valley in their relationship. Just a week before the election, Mr. narware died in a car accident that took place when he was returning from his office. His accidental death put a question mark on her political future and she decided to quit it at the last moment shocked by the death of her husband. His party members pointed finger towards candidate of opposing party shri dharmdas baghmare. Vishambarnath helped her lot in this crisis and convince her to fight the election as his back out at this last moment can prove fatal for their party. He used the death of mr.narware as a sympathetic wave to turn the pan of the balance towards their won side. He succeeded in doing so and before the fire of her husband’s last ritual extinguished she won the election with a huge margin of votes. People started gathering at her home congratulating her at the success. She also forgot her husband’s death in this sparkle. Tarun was unable to understand behavior of her aunt. He was shattered by his uncle’s death and most of the time he was visiting police station to find out that who was behind his uncle death. But most of the time he didn’t get any success. Even when his aunt was selected as Member of Parliament from this constituency, he was not co-operated by the police in this case. His aunt wanted him to stay away from these policemen as she didn’t want that media should highlight her husband’s case and her victory appeared to be a sympathetic one. She wanted the credit of this victory hence she ordered tarun to forget the case and move forward in his life. Actually it was the planning of vishambarnath to keep the case buried. He used trishala as his puppet and asked her to do such things. He also advised her to provide president ship of youth of their prajashakti party. His function was to choose new student leaders to contest college election and to made new party members. In this way vishambarnath hit two bushes with an arrow. One thing he keep tarun away from the case of his uncle’s death and secondary he got the closeness of trishala by removing the only obstacle in his way. Tarun fitted in the job provided to him and within few month of his joining he started enjoying his job and become popular in the field of politics as a youth leader. Vishambarnath with his efforts was successful in obtaining the port folio of minister for trishala. Once she became minister, vishambarnath’s work become easier. Tarun’s popularity goes on increasing day by day. He was becoming rude with each passing day. Success always makes a good person proudy. Same thing happened to him and he became an alternative name of terror. He was soon promoted to divisional leader, then state leader and then national youth leader within a period of three years.
Soon he joined an additional group related to his community known as ‘Hindu yuvak sansthan’. This sansthan or institution work for the welfare of Hindu community. He often used to help youth belonging to Hindu community to get job. Even so many times they fight with Muslim youth in favour of any Hindu boy or man. Even he was involved in communal violence so many times. He was arrested by the police so many times but each time he was arrested he was released on bail due to the power of trishala. Vishambarnath appreciated his act and there was no one in his family to show him the right path. Instead of being condemned by his aunt he got appreciation as she felt it was good for her political career. These act made him a good political figure and he started his own association in the president ship of vishambarnath and named it deshi group. Their main function was to oppose foreign culture and to promote our Indian culture. Though they are doing some good things but still their way of doing such things was against the right of an individual. These acts often turn into violence whenever any one tried to oppose them. In the night time, tarun was most of the time found in bars or night clubs. He became habitual of drinking heavily and often he used some banned drugs to relax. He drank to keep himself calm as he never like his aunt’s work. The power he was having was due to his aunt’s post so he never tried to go against her but the fire was ignited in his heart. Dirty politics had spoiled his life. He had done so many sins in his past but the load of the sins he had done during his political carrier were hard to bear. He had moved long distance from the right path and now he was finding himself in a dark and isolated region surrounded by so many troubles. He have lot of friends virtually but he knew that they all were temporary and they remain with him till his aunt or he was at an important post in the party otherwise they will be thrown away from this world so easily. With a tilak on his forehead and arms and ammunition in his hand he was always ready to beat any one. The frustration of leaving his love was easily seen by anyone in the time of valentine day when he beat every lover so rudely that even the observer also got afraid of word love.
On the other side, the path chosen by trishala also didn’t bear fruit for her for long period. After becoming minister, she went on a foreign trip with vishambarnath. There vishambarnath told her to sleep with party’s president who was present at the hotel previously. She was shocked at this statement of vishambarnath as she loved him. She was thinking that vishambarnath was also in love with her but soon her dream gets broken. He was a purely selfish politician who use women like her for his own purpose. She was not a woman who will surrender so easily she revolted against vishambarnath by refusing to sleep with an unknown person. Vishambarnath in anger put forth some visual compact disc in front of her.
‘What’s this?’ she asked in anger.
‘Just insert it in the V.C.D. player kept there.’ He said by pointing the fingers toward an electronic device kept in a corner of the room.
She acted according to the instruction provided to her.
‘What the hell is this?’ she yelled loudly after seeing the contents of the C.D.
‘This is truth of your life.’ He explained.
‘But this is cheating. I have never done this with the man depicted in the C.D.’ she said to oppose.
‘Yes, that’s true. This is a dummy but this is also true that you have done this with me and I eliminate my image but your image was true one. How will you prove it wrong? Watch the whole movie and you will found your several illicit and porn images where you are all alone. I will put all of them on website for public view.’ He warned her.
‘You can’t do this to me.’ She begged his mercy.
‘I will surely do it if you resist more. There is no other way for you as you can’t go back India without your passport and visa which I am having. So it is better for you to do the things as I want you to do.’ He roared at her.
A lady who can fight anyone tooth or nail became weak at such instant and she lost all her tricks and other methods to come out of such condition. Howsoever a lady is bold or characterless but it was quite difficult for a lady of loose character also to sleep with a man without her wishes. Such type of pain can be experienced by prosecutors only. Trishala was an ambitious lady and she often cheated her husband but every time she cheated him to fulfill her own desire but now the time had brought her at such stage that she had to commit the same sin on the will of someone else. A person whome she loved a lot deliberately had cheated her. Seeing the no other way, she committed a sin by surrendering her body in front of party president but his soul was wounded so badly by this incident and she decided to teach a good lesson to vishambarnath.
A person who fell in his or her own eye was the most pity one in the world. The self conscious of trishala was killing her by intimating that she had done a sin by cheating her husband and god had punished her for that offence. She was feeling guilty after doing a thing which she never thought of in her past. Is this much big cost she had to pay for achieving success in her life, then it is wrong for a lady to dream high. This incident had broken her into several pieces from inside. She was hurt by this world of man and now she decided to take revenge from them. A man or woman understands pain of a sufferer only when he or she goes through all of this himself or herself. She started remembering all her sins one by one.
She was born in a poor muslim family and wanted to earn more money without doing anything. Her real name was mehak hasina. In her teenage when she was in higher secondary school, she saw an opulent that came as chief guest in her school for annual function. He was accompanied by his wife. He told their love story that how he met his wife who was belonging to a poor family and how they get married after felling in love of each other. He told the story to tell the student that there is no gap between rich or poor on this earth. She got his message wrong and started dreaming of such prince who will marry her and rescue her from the jaws of poverty. When she reached college she tried hard to draw attention of rich boys. Many of them offered her date with them but on the subject of marriage they all rejected her. This continued rejection tilted her towards wrong path and she made a plan to marry a rich boy or man. In her plan, she included teja, a vagabond. Teja was small offender who was ready to work with her for the sake of money. They made a plan in which they want to tangle a big fish. This big fish was none other than Mr. kalp narware. Kalp was younger brother of famous industrialist Mr. vikalp narware. Mr. narware was living in foreign country with his wife and widow mother but he own few factories and bungalows also in the India as he started his business empire from this country only. His younger brother kalp was looking after his business in India as he loved Indian culture and people. For past one month He was learning new technologies in the field of computer in a computer institute where he was going everyday by his car which passed by the road in front of mehak’s house. She always watched him going by his car and returning back. Most of the time a driver was driving the car but sometimes she watched him on the driver seat. It was quite clear from his gesture that he was learning the car in those days. One day, when he was going to the institute he was all alone that day they planned something. According to their plan, when he was returning back from the institute, mehak asked for lift from him in the midway. She was wearing school uniform so he provided her the lift. She stated various reasons for taking lift from him. When they reached a street, a small girl suddenly came in front of their car from somewhere. The car struck to her and she was thrown away sidewise. With this sudden accident, kalp became nervous and he stopped the car. At the same moment, teja with a sword in his hand ran towards them at the accidental site. He was abusing him loudly for the accident. Seeing him coming towards them, kalp got frightened.
‘Take the car in forward direction, if you want to save yourself from the furious crowd.’ She yelled.
‘But what about that girl?’ he inquired.
‘They will take care of her. You just try to escape from the crowd. Do as I am telling to you.’ She pointed.
He was too terrified that he put his foot on accelerator and without caring for the child fled away from the accidental spot.
He drove the car according to the guidelines provided by mahek. She guided him to a secluded spot where they were safe but soon they found themselves in the trap laid by teja’s men around them. Then teja arrived there with a sword in his hand. He wanted to take the revenge of the girl’s death that he was pretending as his daughter. Kalp was frightened to see the messenger of death in front of his eyes. But, mahek presented her in front of teja and said, ‘I am driving the car and entire fault is mine. Please, let him go.’
This act of her astonished kalp but teja didn’t melted.
‘You want to save your boy friend by telling lies.’ He roared.
‘No, I just want to save an innocent.’ She replied firmly.
‘How can I believe you?’ he questioned.
‘I am ready to take oath of my husband. No lady in this world will swear false for her husband.’ She again said seeming more confident this time.
‘You are trying to befool me. He is not seeming like your husband and if he is your husband then ask him to bring one lakh rupees here as the price of my daughter’s medical compensation. Till then we will keep this car and you as mortgage here.’ He suggested.
‘Yes, I am ready.’ She said.
‘No, I can’t leave you alone amidst these people.’ He revolted.
‘How can I believe you people? I will pay you the desired money in one hour and till that time you can keep my car.’ He kept his opinion with a bubbling heart.
‘Okay, we are ready for this deal also.’ Teja said and let them to go from that place on foot.
In the mid way mahek asked, ‘are you gone nut? Why did you leave your car there?’
‘Just, to save myself from the accidental case.’ He explained.
‘But why did you did this drama?’ he questioned with lot of confusion in his mind.
‘I wanted to save you from beating. I knew that they will not beat a girl or woman but they will surely beat you hash and bash. I wanted to save this smart cute kindhearted guy to pay his debt of providing lift to me.’ She described politely with twinkling her eyes amidst the description.
‘You had done this to save a stranger. I am impressed and what prompt you for the idea of husband and wife.’ He again inquired.
‘I always do whatever my heart says and at that time it prompt me for these words. But don’t take them seriously.’ She babbled.
‘But if I would mind it seriously then what will be your response.’ He asked with fumbling voice.
‘I know my limits and I have never tried to cross those. I knew that there I s no space for love between an ordinary girl like me and a smart wealthy boy like you.’ She responded quickly.
‘But I need a good partner like you.’ He proposed.
She felt happy in the heart but couldn’t reveal her happiness to him and keep on her acting continuously.
‘Please, don’t show dreams to me and let me at my own state. You please don’t bother about me as this is our first meeting and you want to spent whole life with me. What a funny joke!’ she commented.
‘No, I am not joking. I am in your love now. I always dreamed about a brave and sacrificing girl like you. Today, I got my dream princess by chance. I will always keep you happy.’ He uttered all these in one long breathe.
‘But do you know that I am a girl from a poor family and you belong to a rich family. Whether you think that your parents got agree for such relation. I am sure they will oppose this decision of yours. So, you just forgot about these things and concentrate on the main problem that is how you will pay them one lakh rupee.’ She gave a good opinion about their relation.
‘I have fallen in love with you and the way you are talking to me on various subjects are enough to boost my decision about you. Otherwise who in this world care for an unknown person or I have never seen someone laying her own life for a stranger. Yes, that’s sure that the last decision will remain in your hand in this case.’ He whimpered.
She did not utter any word in response to his proposal and kept mum over the subject. Both of them reached a taxi stand from where they hire a taxi and reached kalp’s house.
Kalp went inside his bungalow and when he came out he had a big suitcase in his hand. He quickly came near mahek and both of them left that place for their destination. He handed over the big bulged amount to teja and rescued his car from him. After taking the possession of his car back he asked teja to signed on a piece of paper in his own handwriting after writing a matter dictated by him so that he can kept it as the proof.
teja signed on a plain piece of paper as a proof of accepting money from kalp. After being assured, kalp left the place with mahek to drop the pretty girl at her destination. She stopped him at the mouth of a street to hide her residence from him on the pretext of his parent’s anger that she came with a boy. She was successful in achieving success in her motives and their plan was almost successful. The problem arose when the girl used by them in fulfilling their purpose die in reality due to wound caused by the clash of car with her hind part. Her parents wanted their daughter back whom they included in their plan by giving greed of money. They have been paid ten thousand rupees for this act but the girl received some internal injuries in the accident and she succumbed. The anguished parents started teasing teja who convinced them by promising them a high amount of money as the compensation of their daughter’s death. Her mother didn’t deviated from her decision but the father agreed to compromise at the cost of one lakh rupees cash as the price of her daughter’s death. The promise made by the teja became a problem for him as he had to pay an additional ten thousand rupees with one lakh rupee to the girl’s father. This problem resulted in an argument between mahek and teja. Teja wanted mahek to ask more money from kalp, while mahek wanted teja to pay this money as the fault was his. She didn’t want to loose the chance of gaining closeness of kalp due to foolishness of teja. At last both of them derived a third solution to the above problem. They wanted to remove the problem from its base so they decided to uproot the problem completely. According to the plan, teja took girl’s father manmohan to a secluded part in the deep forest with the greed of money and killed him there by cutting his neck with a sharp knife. Then he reached his home and told his wife that manmohan was involved in an extra marital affair and thus after getting the money he was trying to elope with his love.
‘I came here as I am your well wisher and I can’t see my friends family should be destroyed by a prostitute so hurry up we can catch him red handed.’ He said with full confidence by acting beautifully like a professional actor in front of her.
She believed his words and accompanied him to the jungle on his bike. In the midway teja changed his mind after seeing the beauty of manmohan’s wife ojaswini. He proposed her for a better life with him.
‘Why you are wasting your youthfulness for such an ugly husband. If you want I am ready to marry you. We will live so happily. What do you think?’ he asked while driving the bike.
‘Where is my husband? You just stop the bike. I don’t believe you. I want to go back home.’ She pleaded.
‘Your husband is dead. Just forget him and think about the future that I will give you. He again suggested.
‘You stop the bike. She shouted.
But the bike moved on and this act of teja tickled the mind of ojaswini. She jumped from the moving bike disturbing its balance and both of them fell consequently.
She tried to run from him but he quickly covered her after initial fumbling. She requested a lot to him to have pity on her but that leopard ate the innocent lamb. After satisfying his thirst he forced her to sit on the bike. He took her to a brothel where he sold her for mere ten thousand rupees against her wishes. When he was returning back from the brothel with money in his hand, police arrested him on the charge of murder of manmohan, whose body was found by a shepherd in the jungle and the shepherd informed the police. Police in his investigation came to know that manmohan was last seen with teja and thus police seized him on the basis of doubt. Teja was a professional criminal. He didn’t reveal the secret of mahek’s involvement in this plan and accept his crime. He was sentenced for rigorous imprisonment of seven years. Thus he gained faith of mahek who won the heart of kalp slowly. Mahek developed a fear in the heart of kalp by misguiding him.
‘Police was searching for you in relation to that girl’s murder case and the bad news for you is that his father and mother were disappeared from that date.’ She informed him with false details.
He believed her words and followed her instruction in order to save himself from the hands of police. She won his trust and closeness and within a week he married her without informing to his brother. After getting married, she pretended in front of her husband as she was trying hard to get him out of the case by contacting various police officials. In reality she never went to jail but always lied to his husband to gain his confidence and one day she made him believe that there was no danger to him now as due to her efforts the police had dismissed his case. At his leisure, he converse with his brother on mobile about his business but never told him about the case. After getting this happy news he again joined his office and pretended there as he was on holidays these days. Mahek achieved the success in becoming wife of a rich man but the problem was not solved completely as the reaction of vikalp and his mother was still suspense for them on this issue.
For how many days a truth can be kept hidden from the people. They started talking about a lady residing with their boss. So kalp told his staff about their marriage. As they thought before same thing happened in the end. Someone transmit this news to elder brother in the form of congratulating him on his brother’s marriage. When Mr.vikalp narware got this news he got a major shock and decided his trip with his family to India in order to confirm the news. He left his mother in the foreign only as he was not assured of the news to be correct.
When he reached his brother’s bungalow in India, he was astonished to see his brother’s wife there in the form of mahek. He was hurt due to this behaviour of his brother. He was not wounded by his marriage to a poor girl but the thing that was teasing him was that his own real brother hadn’t involved him in this major decision of his life.
‘You really grown up now my dear brother’ he stated.
‘Sorry big brother, I want to tell you but the circumstances in which I got her married were such that I can’t gather courage to improvise you the details.’ Shocked by his surprised visit and presence he explained.
‘I don’t want to hear anything. You have crossed all your limits and now I don’t want to keep any relation with you. I am going back to London by today’s flight only.’ He announced his decisions.
‘But brother you can’t be so harsh with me. I beg your pardon.’ He entreated.
‘Please brother, pardon us’ mahek at once touched his feet by bowing to him with tears in her eyes.
‘Just stand sister in law’ both husband and wife said in unison.
‘We have no complaint with you but at least he had to call us in the marriage or not. Remember we will also not call you in tarun’s marriage’ vikalp’s wife monika complained to her.
After saying these words the two ladies hugged each other. All the complaints and anger was washed out with the tears of regrets from the eyes of kalp.
His brother vikalp hugged him and wiped out his tears with his own handkerchief. All matter was settled now. Kalp took blessing of monika by touching her feet and then took his nephew in his hand from her. He was of three years at that time.
They stayed there for one month and then returned back to London.
Mahek was too much impressed by the way of living standard of monika , her dress sense, her collections of ornaments and all this made him so greedy that she started planning for removing them from her life so that she can rule the whole empire. She also decided to visit foreign with his husband so she convinced him to take her on a foreign trip. When they reached there she met her mother in law sushila devi, an orthodox lady who never want to accept her as her daughter in law. This theory of her mother in law about her hurt her too much and she became furious toward her. She decided to kill her so she added poison in her morning tea which was everyday prepared by sushila devi’s elder daughter in law monika. She did it by hiding herself from the eye of every family member. She found some rat killing pills in the home, that morning she rose earlier than monika but pretended as she was in deep sleep. When monika was preparing the tea, at that time she dialed landline number of their home. The phone was in drawing room when monika went to pick it up, she went to the kitchen and drop the pills in the tea. Then she returned back to her bed without making any noice. The call was cut by her before monika can pick up the receiver. She also erased the details of the dialed number at once. Monika unaware of the poison gave the tea to her mother in law who started vomiting and in front of the doctor, she took her last breathe. Doctor examined her before her death and concluded that this may be the case of food poisoning. Thus the family lodged a police complaint and to keep herself away from the doubt she couldn’t oppose their decision. The police on the basis of their investigation concluded that someone from the family is involved in murder but due to lack of proof discarded its own theory. But their investigation created a big rift between the relation of mahek and her in laws as her in laws also started doubting her. Her husband kalp was firmly believed her and he always stood side by her. He always spoke in her favour and made his family to realize that the death of their mother was possibly a case of food poisoning and no one from the family should be blamed for this. His belief on his wife strengthen her confidence and weaken The doubts of other family members which was however diminished with the time as there was no evidence that confirm her involvement in the murder. Mahek learnt a huge lesson from this problem that nothing should be done in so hurry. This mistake of her made her to drop the idea of becoming sole owner of all the property and she forgot this idea for next few years. But greed is such a property of human nature that never dies its own death. After five or six years, she again started dreaming about her incomplete ambitions. she went on foreign trips so many times but couldn’t get success in fulfilling her dreams of removing her brother in law and his family from the way. The tease of not conceiving a child also struck her mind and she think that her in laws were responsible for all this. Without help of teja it seemed to be a difficult task so she waited long for release of teja from the jail. When teja released from the jail after completing his punishment she met him and told her plan to him.
‘So what do you think about it.’ She asked his opinion after telling her plan.
‘Madam, I want to breathe this fresh air for sometime before again going to jail.’ He answered without paying any attention to her.
‘What do you want to say? Please clarify it to me.’ She said anxiously.
‘I had been in jail for seven years due to your plan only. Now I don’t want to go back there. Why should I do this? Just to change your living standard. What is my profit in it? I never told your name to police just to live a relaxed life after completing the sentence as I am sure that you will pay me the huge amount that I was going to demand in return to this small favour from me for you. But you want me to go back to the same dirty place again for your comfort. I am not such a fool.’ he clarified rudely.
‘I will pay you ten lakh for this work.’ She tried to fascinate him with her proposal.
‘I am looking like a fool but in reality I am not. What the hell you think yourself. You owe this much money already to me. So why should I take that risk.’ He showed his intentions clearly to her.
‘So you will not do this work even for me.’ she said politely with a motive of attracting him.
‘I will think over your proposal if you are ready to pay the cost of my seven years of rigorous prison.’ seeing her eagerness he offer her a deal by putting his hand over her shoulder.
‘You are getting me wrong teja .’ she just jolted his hand and warned him to observe his limits.
‘Oh now a lady like you will decide my limits. I want my ten lakh at once and I don’t want to hear anything.’ He said in anger.
‘If you want ten lakh then you have to do this work for me first otherwise I will not going to pay you any money. If you are agree then just call me at this number and I will give you five lakh in advance otherwise do whatsoever you want.’ She dictated her decision and threw a piece of paper in front of him on which a number is printed and left the place.
Next day teja called her on that number which was given by her to him.
‘I am ready to do your work madam so please sent me five lakh rupees today only.’ He gave this message to her.
‘No I will pay you only three lakh and that also after one week not now. This is just as your punishment of disagreeing with me. Are you agreeing for this then we will talk further otherwise keep the phone now.’ She again put a new clause in front of him.
‘Okay I am ready. But please sent the money as quickly as possible.’ He confirmed after thinking for few minutes over it.
Within one week she herself took the amount to teja and described her plan to him. then she came back home and started activation of her plan. But almighty power had something else in the future. Next day mahek’s plan snubbed due to teja’s arrest. He was again charged with the crime of attacking someone from his locality with the intention of killing. All this happen due to excessive drinking. Teja and his men after getting such a big amount arranged a party at a dhaba, where teja abused someone of his own locality in the state of intoxication. The argument become so intense that teja hit him on his head by a metallic rod lying at a nearby construction site. The man’s relative lodged a complaint against him and he was arrested by police. Though mahek tried a lot to rescue him from this case indirectly but couldn’t succeed in doing so. Again she had to postpone her plan for four more years, duration o f teja’s punishment.
The bitterness of her plan’s failure intensified her desire and she became a wounded lioness for her in laws. Teja when released from jail again postponed her plan for some time as he was burning in the fire of revenge and was busy in planning the murder of that person whose complaint sent him to jail. He got success in fulfilling his own motive after duration of one year. Then he again sat silently for six month. In this time, mahek and teja were busy in planning their new strategy.
Mahek called her in laws to visit holy shrine in India. When vikalp and his family came to India she went with her husband to receive them at the airport. At the airport, she received them with honour and welcomed them heartily to show his husband that how much she loved her in laws. When they came out, she opened the door of a car and request vikalp to sit in it with his wife. But kalp intervene in between and ask monika to accompany him. Seeing the problem tarun suggested an idea that he will accompany his uncle and vikalp and monika will share the same car.
‘So in which car do you like to sit dear aunt?’ Tarun inquired while opening the gate of his uncle’s car.
‘Obviously yours,’ she giggled and abused him in her heart.
‘So what are you waiting for?’ he said in a cheerful voice.
Both the car started moving. Mahek tried a number from her mobile but teja had kept her mobile off. On a small bridge over a rivulet, a truck collided with the vikalp’s car as per their plan and the car fell in the rivulet from a height of about eight to ten feet. tarun’s mother died on the spot but his father’s body was flown with the current. She got success in fulfilling her desire but still tarun’s life was saved by the god and she had no confirmatory proof that vikalp was dead. Thus she pretended herself as an ideal one by adopting tarun.
She met teja after the last rituals of monika was performed. She gave him money and asked him to search for the body and whenever they got any news about him then inform her. Teja also left the city to live a life of comfort in other city.
She woke from her dream and again come back to routine life. She wiped out her tears and decided to take the revenge of all these when the time will arrived. She tried to behave normal but the mirror in her room was showing a wounded image of her to her eyes. She got frustrated after seeing herself in this stage and thus broke the mirror by throwing a flower pot kept at the table as a show piece. Sound of two things broken will be heard but the sound of her broken heart was overshadowed by these two glass materials.
In India tarun was becoming dangerous by each passing day. he was addressing a meeting where someone passed a comment on him so he left his speech incomplete to beat the person. Soon the person who commented was joined by his friends. Tarun’s friend and well wisher also jumped in the fight. They started beating them tooth and nail. Seeing the condition unfavourable the person who commented ran away from the place. While fighting with someone tarun saw him running from the field so he followed him and reached a brothel where he collided with a pretty prostitute. Both of them fell down and the person got the time to escape from him.
‘Don’t you have the eyes or just collided with me after seeing a young girl.’ She queried.
‘I am sorry actually I didn’t saw you in the hastiness to catch that guy who escaped from me.’ He explained.
‘Oh I have heard this type of excuse from so many like you and I don’t believe you men. You people are all same and you always found girls or women as the object of your entertainment. So just tell me the true motive of your arrival here.’ She just abused him.
‘Hey you just control your tongue otherwise I will cut it.’ He tried to threaten her.
‘Oh you want to threaten me. Don’t you know me I am champakali of this garden and you know I have thousands of lovers who are ready to die for me. Once I gave them a hint they will kill you here only.’ She responded.
‘I got afraid of you but still I want to see your lovers. So please call them as I need severe beating.’ He mocked at her.
‘I liked your bravery. That’s why I am leaving you because I love to make friendship with such robust people. So calm down and be a good friend.’ She insisted.
‘I don’t want friendship with ladies like you who sold their bodies and soul for few pennies.’ He told his decision.
‘It needs guts to make friendship with a lady with such dark sided background.’ She challenged.
‘If the matter is this then I am ready to accept your friendship.’ He accepted her offer.
‘So what is your plan about tonight?’ she again initiated the move.
‘I think you want friendship with me and now you are deviating from your own choice.’ He kept his point.
‘I misjudged you. You are a true friend and I would like to keep this friendship whole life.’ She clarified.
‘You are pretty and may be possible that people want to have a night stay with you but I never want to take advantage of a women’s helplessness. I think those men who do such activities are worst quality rape offenders.’ They not only rape a woman but also try to keep her mouth shut by paying the cost. Poor woman has to go through such ordeal just for the sake of few pieces of papers called money.’ He kept his opinion.
‘So why did you make friendship with me?’ she asked.
‘I had done this Just to help you in needs so that you can leave this job and do something reputed. But that decision depends upon you. Whenever you need to leave this work just call me at this number.’ He gave his card to her while saying this.
‘By the way can I know name of my new friend if you doesn’t mind.’ He asked.
‘My name is tara.’ She said.
‘My name is tarun. So I will wait for your call tara.’ He left that place after saying this.
Once he reached outside his mobile started ringing. For a second he thought that tara has called him. A new number was flashing on his mobile. He was quite assured that the call was belonging to tara. He picked the call.
‘I didn’t expect your call so soon.’ He said to the caller.
‘Is it tarun speaking?’ the caller asked to confirm the number.
‘Yes, I am tarun. Can I know your introduction?’ He asked as the sound of the caller appears familiar to him.
‘Hi tarun, I am anushka speaking. I need to talk you. If you are free then could you talk privately with me?’ She insisted for privacy.
‘I am alone here you can talk openly here.’ He said with a joy that anushka called him that means she was no longer angry with him.
‘I need your help tarun. If you don’t mind can you come to Bangalore?’ she insisted.
‘Off course, I will come there but can you tell me what your problem is?’ he asked.
‘I can’t tell you on phone but for your information it is much serious problem. It is related to me but I want to share it with you. I am unable to find its solution hence I called you because leaving you in this world I can’t trust anyone else.’ She said these words with sobbing sound.
‘Please control yourself and don’t worry. I will be there in one or two days.’ He assured her.
‘Thanks’ she said and cut the call.
Tarun was in dual mood. He did not know whether to feel happy or to feel sad. As anushka called him and invited him at her home while on the other hand she was telling him about some problem and he guessed the problem was so serious otherwise self-respect of the lady like anushka never allow her to call him.
He just shook his head to disperse all ill-trodden thoughts from his mind and happily went to the airport to confirm his ticket of Bangalore in that day’s evening flight. Though he had good connection that he can have that ticket confirmed on the phone but he didn’t want to wait anymore and hence he decided not to take the risk and contact the booking officer directly. He got the work done and after packing a single bag he quickly caught the flight and reached Bangalore that night only. He was keen to meet gazal and anushka but the etiquettes or fear of anushka stopped him from reaching their home in the late night. He caught a taxi and decided to stay at hotel for that night.
That night appeared to a very long night for him as he was unable to sleep due to the eagerness to meet anushka and her daughter gazal. He was thinking that gazal may be grown up into a teenage girl and how she will appear now. Whether she will recognize her or not? What prompted anushka to call him again. Is she feeling loneliness now or she is in trouble? So many questions like this were striking his mind. Early in the morning he felt asleep and when the waiter knock on his door asking for breakfast then he woke up. He said no to the waiter for the breakfast and quickly went to the bathroom to have a shower. After getting fresh he again borrowed a taxi to reach anushka’s house. He leave the taxi outside their home and went in by opening gate of their lawn. Then he knocked the door of her home. A sweet girl opened the door. She was so pretty that in the first sight he identified that she was none other than gazal. In the period of six to eight years, his body got somewhat fatty that gazal didn’t recognize him.
‘whome do you want?’ she asked.
‘I want to meet your mother. Don’t you recognize me? I am tarun, your uncle.’ He said with excitement.
‘Mother someone came to meet you.’ She glared at his face for a minute and then called her mother loudly.
‘gazal, don’t you remember me. We had enjoyed here in the same house. I am your mother’s boss and your uncle tarun.’ He again gave his introduction.
‘Look mr. tarun whosoever you are, I don’t care. Please don’t try to be familiar with me. You came here to meet my mother so talked to her and leave the home. Did you get it?’ she talked rudely to him and then went back to her room in anger.
Till then anushka came out to receive him with full respect and honour.
‘Please, don’t bother her words as she was upset these days with herself.’ She tries to justify her anger.
‘Why she was behaving so? Is really he forgot me or she didn’t pardon me yet.’ He asked.
‘You come inside we will talk on this issue in detail inside. First tell how are you? Did you ever remember us?’ she asked with wet eyes.
‘I remember you everyday but never gather courage to call you and ask you even about your health or formal information.’ He told her.
‘But in these years I learn lot of things and one thing that I gained is learn to live a life without any motive. I missed you people a lot and my one mistake made me all alone in the life. I have several friends and followers but still I feel loneliness to much extent. Greed to come closer to you threw me so much away from you. I had regrets of that day till now but one thing that surprised me is your call. A Woman who hates me up to such an extent calls me to discuss her problem. How can you trust a man who broke your faith once?’ he explained his views.
‘These are your views. I always trust you. That is the reason I asked you to leave the city and you did according t my wishes. Why a boss followed instructions of his employee. This shows your true love towards me. The reality is that I didn’t want to believe that I can forget my husband’s sweet memories due to a stranger. I never want anyone to comment on my daughter considering about our relations. A person who never questioned my wishes is sweetest one and lovable in my opinion. I think I destroy my life with my own hand by letting you go due to the fear of this society. God chose a big punishment for me for my that act.’ She broke into tears while saying all this.
‘What happened? Are you okay? Is everything right here or somebody is creating problem for you?’ he launched so many questions at a time.
‘It was the worst phase of my life when I told you to leave this city. When you went back everything turned black for me. I kept you away from me in fear of losing my daughter’s future but I never thought of the harm I was going to do to her. Once you left this city, she tried lot to contact you. I never cared for her as I thought slowly she will forgot you but this had made my daughter’s relation with me so weak. She was always coming to me and asking about your unavailability. She wonders how you could leave her in this manner. She started feeling loneliness and my negligence also made her wonder about your absence. She was too much upset but no one was there to hear her voice or complaint that she must have with her life. I never estimated depth of her love towards you. Unknowingly I detached him from her most precious thing that is you. I never knew that how many days she wept for you in loneliness. She stopped eating food and even started taking drugs in my absence. All this made her so weak that she lost interest in her studies and her academic graph also fell abruptly. I was unfamiliar with these facts was busy in earning bread for my small family. In the race of life I left my daughter so behind that she disappeared from my eyes after a period of just one month. Not even this much she met a boy named deepraj in the meantime. He lured her with the promise of marriage and provides him the much needed company in that time when she needed someone badly. She met her in the bar during that phase of her life where the sexual and behavioral changes are common in a teenage boy or a teenage girl. I am quite upset from myself that I left my innocent and adolescent child at that time all alone to face this cruel world on her own. I never thought of paying such a huge cost for that small mistake of mine. He slowly gained confidence of my innocent daughter and also her closeness. One day they broke all the barriers of the social limits and form physical relations with mutual consent. My blood never told me about all these. I don’t know how many times they slept with each other but one thing is sure that when I came to knew about all these running behind my back; it was too late for me to bring back my daughter.’ She started sobbing.
‘So how and when did you come to know all about this? Did you caught then red handed?’ he inquired.
‘I never caught them red handed. All that I knew came to my knowledge when gazal told me that she was pregnant. I was shocked after listening that. I slapped her continuously to bring out all my anger on her that day but after that when I get my conscious back I was frighten with the fear of loosing my esteem, my family’s honour and my child’s future. Being mother I can’t gather courage to kill that little one growing inside her and even if I want to do so, it was too late for me to risk her life. I try to contact that boy but I came to know that he went to Mumbai to appear in an interview. When I talked with him, he showed his willingness to marry gazal but he told me to wait for three years as he need time to settle down and even he had to convince his parents. I described the situation to him. At first he asked me to wait for two months then after two months when I contacted him he said without any hesitation to abort the child. Till that time it was almost impossible for anyone to abort the child. I requested him a lot but he changed the number after few days. I went to visit him personally but all the addresses and the name he had given found to be faked by me. Now I have given up all the hopes and I called you to solve my problem.’ She said without waiting for my reaction.
‘What she was saying over this issue?’ he asked about gazal’s reaction on the matter.
‘She still believe his words and waiting for him. Though she knew in her heart that he will not come back but still she had faith over god and her love. If I asked him to forget him she revolted against me and held me responsible for al this. She hates you to such an extent that she didn’t want to see you again. It happened by chance that she opened the door and faced you by god’s grace.’ She sketched the present picture of gazal.
‘Okay I will like to talk to her first over this issue whether she liked me or not. Then only I will tell you the solution.’ He told his decision and willingness to her.
‘But she will not talk to you.’ She doubted his decision.
‘This is your opinion. Let me try once.’ He said with much confidence and moved towards her room.
Gazal was sitting on her bed with her back facing the door. He went inside with much caution and kept his hands over her shoulder.
‘So my cute baby is still angry with me. Don’t you like to hug me as you did before? Remember my dear I am not that much old as you are thinking and if still your anger doesn’t calm down then beat me or slap me to bring your ire down.’ He requested her humbly.
‘I don’t want to talk to you. You just go out as you did previously. Leave me alone.’ She said and started weeping.
‘I am sorry my dear. I always tried to contact you but the promise I made to your mother stopped me from doing so.’ He explained and waved his hand in her hairs.
‘That means your promise is more valuable than my happiness. Don’t you know how much I missed you?’ She said and turned back to hug him.
Both are crying and complaining to each other. Anushka was feeling so awkward that in anger she tried to extract soul from the body after seeing the love of two towards each other. Still gazal’s first priority was tarun’s love. She love him as his guide and friend or searching for her father in him.
For the first time in his life tarun felt his importance to someone. He was as angry with himself as he left his daughter like friend amidst the wolf of this society to torn out her skin. How foolish he was? Why didn’t he gathered courage to revolt against decision of anushka to leave her and gazal alone? Why he didn’t forced anushka for marriage after that fault. Though he know that a lady without her will can’t fell in love of a men then why he considered himself as the guilty? So many unanswered questions arose in his mind and continuously raising finger over his decision and indirectly pointing toward himself as the main cause of present situation of gazal.
Though he pretend as all is well in front of gazal but the faces of anushka and tarun was telling that all is not right. After general talk, tarun had taken breakfast with them. After taking breakfast, he went back to the room of gazal with her and just hinted anushka not to intervene in their talks. She followed his instructions. For privacy he closed the door from inside. He sat at her bed and she kept her head in his laps. He started whirling her hair and then he asked a question that stunned gazal for a moment, but soon she gathered courage to face the truth bravely and described the whole incident word to word.
When you left me without any information I try to contact you so many times but each time I failed, it increased my frustrations. Mother also appeared to be confused, though she kept her busy in official works. My academic report showed a great fall in my studies. All this led me to such frustration that I choose to wipe out all this from my memory and thus I started drinking liquor first with a sip and then complete bottle in short span of three months. In this meantime, I met deepraj who helped me in coming out of depression. He showed his love towards me by fulfilling my every demand. He not only proposed me but arrange a grand party for me to show deepness of his love towards me. I was so hurt by you that his showiness also appear true love to me. Slowly I also started feeling attraction towards him. He often comes to my home to pick me up for the college. Then slowly he started taking me to the discos and to restaurants. One day he offered me a powder that he described as the medicine of removing stress. I smelled it and my mind rotate for a while. Soon I recover and asked ‘what’s that?’
He answered, ‘it’s the mean of visiting heaven.’ I believe his words and slowly he made me drug addict. After that he used me so many times for fulfilling his body desire and it all stop when one day I came to know that I am pregnant. I couldn’t believe the news first but when confirmed by the medical test, I asked him to marry me. He assured me that he will marry me soon but didn’t keep his promise. I was cheated by him and when I told mother about it then also he assured us that he will surely married me but he needed some time to convince his mother and father. We gave the time and he used that time to left the city to spoil someone else’s life. Now the time had gone and I can’t opt for abortion also. After hearing the whole incident tarun remain silent for few second. After that they had a heated argument between them. The voice of the argument was heard by anushka also but she didn’t react as she thought that gazal didn’t want to reveal her secrets and may be possible that tarun is forcing her to do so. Then sudden scream of her daughter alert her. Various sounds of many things falling in the room were clearly heard. But soon all Sounds were over shadow by the melodious songs played on the C.D. player. Anushka knocked at the door but tarun said in loud voice, ‘every thing is alright and we are just coming out in fifteen minutes.’ So she believed him and again sat silently. After half an hour, tarun opened the door and without talking to anushka rushed outward. Anushka followed him to ask what happened but he didn’t utter any word and left the room quickly. She ran back to gazal’s room to inquire what she said to him that made him angry. When she reached inside she was shocked to see gazal in such position.
‘What happened to you my child? Please explain. Just tell to your mother.’ She eagerly asked her daughter.
She kept on weeping. When her mother forced her she revealed a secret that was quite shocking to her.
‘He raped me mom’ and she burst into tears.
‘What the hell you are saying? Do you realize it? He love you like a father.’ She argued.
‘Yes, I also think like that but these men have no meaning to any relation. After knowing truth from me he raped me taking advantage of mine state.’ She said while crying.
Anushka did still not believe her daughter words. Whom she was trusting this much how can be he is so mean. She loves him and seeing as gazal’s father, still he put a blot on such a pure relationship. Why did he believe such a person? She was still blaming herself for trusting this kind of wolf in the form of man or friend. But nothing could be done now. She broken by heart realizes her daughter’s pain so she comes close to hug her to relieve her pain. Getting her mother touch gazal broke her silence.
‘He came closer to me showing his sympathy and suddenly he tried to kiss me. I opposed him so he said that I am already a used one then why I was behaving like this. He gave me an offer that if I agree with him he will sort out all the matter. I opposed him and he forcible push me on the bed to rape me…,’ saying these word her tongue trembled too much and she couldn’t utter remaining words.
‘Why he did with you? What the hell god wrote in your fate? Why he was always taking examination of my patience?’ she had lot of complaint with god which she was shouting in anger. She was in deep sorrow that even the pain of her husband death is not that much severe? It is tough to face this world for a widow with a young raped daughter.
‘What I will do my child now. Whom should I trust? I lost my mind now.’ She asked her daughter.
‘We will lodge a complaint against him.’ She said after a long pin drop silence between the two.
‘What rubbish you are talking about? You know he had huge terms with big people and even he have a political post and contact presently. We will surely loose the case and the prestige of our family suffers a lot when the matter will opened to the world. The society will make your life problematic. It is better to keep silence in this matter.’ She kept her opinion.
‘No mother I will not keep the silence anymore. This will always encourage culprit like him. I will surely lodge a complaint against him and no need of worrying about the prestige as it is already on stake due to my fault.’ She said confidently.
After thinking long anushka agreed to her daughter’s opinion, as this complaint gave them a way also to run from the first problem.
They went to police station to lodge an official complaint against tarun. They were asked to wait for their turn as the in charge officer was busy in dealing with a case of theft. After waiting for long time, he called them to inquire the matter.
‘What happened to you madam?’ he asked in routine manner.
‘My daughter had been raped.’ She said with slight hesitation pointing towards her daughter.
‘What? You mean her?’ he showed his amazement.
‘Yes, I am raped. Do you have any problem in writing the report?’ gazal yelled.
‘No miss I have no problem but the matter that was enclosed in the four wall of your house will soon become highlight of newspaper. Thus, it was my advice that you will not gain anything by lodging complaint. It will be better to keep silence instead.’ He suggested other way and option to them.
‘You please don’t try to show sympathy with me. Just do whatever I will tell you to do. Write the report.’ She shouted at him.
‘Okay then tell your name, address and also the name of the person who raped you?’ he started lodging an official complaint.
‘My name is gazal, my address is ……….. And the person who raped me is tarun.’ She described.
