part-3
the whole hospital had turned into a mess. people were running here and there in confusion. the whole of begusarai had reached there, they would not let their beloved poonmi.
their prayers would make sure of it.
as laakhan reached near the ot, he could see several things happening in his family at once.
bhushan was shouting at rekha for leaving poonmi alone.
rekha was further justifying herself with stupid reasons.
phoolan thakur was seeing shouting at the armed guards...the guards were trembling, fearing their lives.
dolte was seen running here and there with medical files of her sister.
poonams mother was crying inconsolably, while her father was still stunned with all the incidents.
baadi maa looked all exhausted, she had closed her eyes leaning on the wall.
guddi was in a state, angry tears were spilling from her brown eyes.
laakhan tried to reach near the ot, where poonam was, again, guddi stopped him, angry eyes flashing at him.
'mil gaya shanti...?? ab aap kyun aae ho?? sab kuch to khatam kar diya, mil gaya sukoon.pati ho na uske, shaadi ke waqt vachan diya tha na usko, ki use koi aanch nahi denge...sabko marne par tule the...?? toh aj kya hua...kaha the app jab meri doost ko aap ki zaroorat thi'...guddi shouted at him.
laakan went speech less. guudi's words were true.
she continued,' waise woh to pahle hi mar gayi thi...uski aatma ko apne maarhi daala tha...mentally torture karke...bas shareer hi baki rah gaya tha...ab to woh bhi...CHALO JAYO YAHA SE...AB TO BAKSH TO USSE' saying this she pushed him away.
he staggered and fell on the nearby bench.
tortured. yes, he had tortured her mentally, sometimes even physically.
he used these methods on poonam frequently.
but these methods bore no fruits.
poonam was always a silent child, innocent and dainty. her chirpiness was limited to priyom and guddi.though priyom and guddi were chilren themselves. fearful by nature, she never questioned elders authority or orders, no matter how idiotic those orders. she was so innocent and simple that anyone could
wash her brain. laakhan personally despised these 'goody goody' qualities of poonam.
begusarai was a place of twisted brained people, anyone could take advantage of her. very easily. without her realizing it.
this was one of the reasons why laakhan wanted poomni to complete her higher education.
perhaps then, she would be aware about the dangerous world surrounding her.
but alas, high marks in academics did not alter her innerself.
she was too pure at heart. dangerously pure.
a pureness which could destroy the whole of begusarai.
only he, laakhan knew that her innocence was far much dangerous than guns.
poonam was like a magnet to all things lethal and dangerous.
having no other alternative, laakhan chose the dangerous mean to toughen her up, so that she could fight for herself if ever the need arises.
he started to torture her up mentally as well as physically(sometimes). be it, soaking her up in cold water for 6 hours, forcing her to run a marathon race with his jeep and all such 'creative' ideas. most of his ideas made no sense and was simply atrocious. but then, life in begusarai was tough, especially for a lamb like poonam.
he prayed to the gods, hoping the one day., one day she will protest against his evil deeds. and one day she will shout at him and will stand forherself.
one day she will realize her true inner self. one day she will protest.
but it never happened.
she was too tame, too afraid, to simple and too innocent.
dangerously innocent!
he snapped away from his thoughts, the doctor had come out.
immediately, he was mobbed by the whole of begusarai.
'who is laakhan?" he asked.
all eyes turned at him
'me' he replied timidly.
'oh...well...am afraid ur wife have slipped into coma'
huge commotion ensued everywhere. dolt was about to kill the doctor, phoolan controlled him with much difficulty.
'it seems as if she hit her head hard on the floor while falling after the attack. there was much blood lost, fortunately her internal organs are fine by some miracle! she is alive...but...in coma...and yes, she called out your name mr. laakan,before slipping into coma'the doctor said.
there was deadly silence in the hospital.
the police arrived.
'this locket was found in the attack spot'
the gold locket was glistening in the light.
laakhan knew the locket, he had bought it 2 years ago to gift someone.
someone who goes by the name of...
'priyom thakur'
how was it??
reviews pls.
lots of love.
