FS - Punishing Her Demons
"Shivaay, iss waqt?" Anika made a puppy face.
Shivaay looked at her. "Alright. I will stay!"
Anika frowned. "What about those clients?"
"They can go back. I don't care." He went closer, "my wife is my priority."
" Aapka dimaag phir gaya hai. Chup chaap jaaiye, MATLAB itni Badi party rakhi his deal ke liye, usse hi haath she phisalne denge? Aap aadmi hai yaan..
"Paagal ho kya tum. Tum Ne hi toh.."
"Shivaay mujhe bigaadiye mat aur jaaiye jaldi..." Anika pushed her husband back into their room from poolside.
"Jaldi change kariye!"
"Anika par..
" Shivaay" she folded her hands like a strict principal.
"You are mad totally mad!" He said and disappeared. "Acche khaase mood ka chop kar Diya!" She smiled when she hear him whisper that.
She quickly helped him with the coat, while he fixed his hair. While he continued combing his hair she ran about the room gathering his phone's charger, his file, his medicine and so on.
He smiled through the mirror.
"O mere Rajesh Khanna , Baal ban gaye toh jaayenge aap.?"
He laughed. While she went closer and dusted his coat despite no dust.
"Dawaai le le na, aur...
" phaunch ke phone karna. Gussa mat karna. Anything else?" He smiled.
She blushed nodding in a no.
"Kabhi Kabhi mujhe aisa lagta hai ki main biwi hoon aur tum pati!" He spoke as they moved down the rear staircase.
"Acha listen jaldi she party wrap kara Lena aur..guests.."
"Pata hai pata hai!"
He smiled. "OK then."
"Rudra aur Bhavya nahi dikh rahe?" She asked him, "aapne dehka unhe?"
He inched closer and whispered in her ears," Long drive !"
"Iss waqt?" She asked baffled
He shook his head. "Anika! They wanted to spend sometime together so.."
"Ooo. " she said understanding.
He chuckled, she blushed hitting him on the shoulder.
"Now. Go. Main aur Gauri Sab sambhaalenge." She said.
"Tum dono behen ho hi itni Kamal.."
She gave a cute smile at that. "WO toh hai.." She waved as he left.
"Ab ye Gauri kahan hai?" Anika sighed to herself.
Anika instructed the servants to wrap up quickly, the guests had almost begun to dwindle.
She went back to her room and got her phone. She called Gauri. She din't pick up.
Maybe she was downstairs. She decided to dial once more but her phone switched off. Frustrated she lightly threw her phone on the bed.
"Aaj kal ke phone, ek call lagao nahi ki tu-tu-aur-band. Shivaay ka phone pe gussa jaayas hai!" She spoke to herself reaching down. Omkara had left two hours back to receive a few of his German clients. He said he would only return in the wee hours of the morning. Great, she and Gauri could spend some Girls Time Together, Anika thought excitedly.
She looked for Gauri as she greeted the guests and thanked them for being a part of the celebration.
Almost everyone had left. The servants were all outside wrapping up the dinner and taking the chairs in the lawn back to the garage.
Anika decided to check on Gauri in her room. She walked down the corridor. "Shaayad thak gayi hogi...isliye..pehle hi yeh kapde...pasta nahi Uss zammane ki heroine kaise pehnaa kart thii inhe.;" she murmured to herself.
As she got close to Omkara-Gauri's room she heard certain noises. "Gauri.." She ran wondering what had caused the sounds. Perhaps something had fallen due to Gauri's clumsiness.
The room was dimly lit. But what Anika saw made her eyes go wide and her heart skipped a beat. There Gauri was on the bed and a man above her, trying to shut her mouth with his hand . Gauri was pushing away his other hand and struggling to be free. The two hadn't noticed her.
Anika panicked and screamed. The man looked at her shocked. Gauri's eyes grew wide as tears continued to flow.
The man charged towards Anika, Gauri saw in shock.
Anika quickly grabbed the first thing she found- a vase. She hit it on the man's head. "Himmat kaise hui teri..!" She spoke.Nothing happened. He groaned and caught Anika's hair, her bun opened.
She struggled and slapped the man with her free hand. The man enraged pulled Anika closer and tried to get a grip on her hand.
"Jiji!" Gauri panicked scrambling out of bed and looking around for something like a rod.
"Chod!" Anika screamed in pain.
He laughed. "Buy one get one free huh?"
Gauri looked at the curtain rod. She had removed the curtains the previous day. Thanks to Omkara. But due to her height, even on the stool she couldn't reach and put the rod back up. So the rod was left aside on the ground.
She quickly picked it up.
Anika raised her knee to hit the man. The man moved and missed it. She tried hitting her elbow into his face. That didn't work as well. Enraged the man twisted her hand behind causing Anika to be ushered closer to the man. Anika felt disgusted.
Suddenly the man zoned out. Gauri had struck his head from behind. In a mad rush the man turned and charged towards Gauri she hurriedly stepped backwards. Anika looked at the scene wide eyed, catching her breath.
But before the man could reach Gauri he collapsed. Gauri let out a sigh and fell to the floor crying. Anika at once made it across to the room to her."Gauri ...Gauri..." She hugged her and cupped her cheek. "Tu atu think hain naa!" Gauri held her hands and hugged her nodding.
"Jiji aap theek hain naa?" She asked concerned.
Anika nodded and crid hugging her. The two looked at the fallen man in disgust. They sat their like that hugging each other and sinking in, all that had happened in a few minutes. Aniak repeatedly kept asking Gauri if she was alright.
Anika quickly wiped her tears and then Gauri's. "Mujhe bata tera phone kahan hai." Gauri pointed to the pieces of the broken phone.
Anika sighed, in despair.
"Mera phone room mein hain." She spoke tensed.
"Yaahan se chaliye please." Gauri pleaded
"Magar ye ...utth ...gaya ...toh..'
Gauri looked around tensed. Then suddenly her face lit up. " Basement. "
She walked up to the statue and twisted it and turned the lamp upside down. A hole opened up. Anika looked on shocked.
"Isse yahan daal dete hain." Gauri suggested.
Anika nodded simply still astounded at the little secret opening.
The two pushed the man inside.
"Bade Bhaiya khana hai?" Gauri asked.
"WO..meeting ke liye gaye hain!" Anika replied tensed.
Gauri's eyes couldnt stop watering.
Anika held her hand,and went closer. Wiping Gauri's tears she spoke, "Main hoon naa saath, kuch nahi hoga."
