Chapter 5
household treated preciously by the family members, nobody dared to raise a voice against her except for her mother who once in a while scolded her behind her tauji's back, was now standing counting her bruises…like me Daksh also is not experienced, with time things will improve, Bani tried to cheer herself up, switched off the light and went back to bed…
++
Things did not get better and when Bani went for Pug Phere to her house, Rano quizzed her about her experiences, she knew Bani was in love with Daksh already before their marriage and could not wait to be with him, Rano at times overheard her 'love talks' with Daksh during their courtship and could not understand why Bani was looking a bit off and forcing herself to smile at her queries…
Di saab theek hai nah?
Theek hi hai...matlab Daksh at times gets a bit too much for me to handle...
Woh yeh baath, koi problem nehi soon you will be catching up with him, the girls told me so, initially it is a bit tough, girls do complain about pain, lekin baad me saab theek ho jata hai…
Is it so, Bani looked at Rano hopefully but how do you know that…
Di, surf the net, saab pata chal jata hai…
Oh Rano you and your internet, har samay lage rehte ho...
It is very interesting Di, kabhi toh dekho..
Ha I know, but it has its side effects too…
+++
Bani kept on hoping and soon she was dreading their lovemaking….one afternoon after a late lunch on a Sunday, Bani entered her room to find Daksh snoring, she gave a sigh of relief, picked up Daksh's laptop and sat down to open the internet….and as Rano said started searching and reading, violent sex, as she read on, she could feel fear gripping her, as she read one case after another, does Daksh have tendency towards this sort of thing, she wondered…..
Tum keya kar rahi ho, mera laptop leke, Bani got startled at Daksh's question, she quickly pressed the exit button and stammered her reply, kuch nehi was just checking my mails…
Your mails….tumhara mail account hai…
Ha gmail account….college nehi resume kiya toh thought of getting touch with some of my old friends….
Is it so, or are you spying on me…
Matlab mai kiyu spying karungi,
You never know, nowadays wives are upto various tricks…daksh got up and snatched away the laptop from front of her…
Looked at the blank screen and glared at her…
Keya dekh rahi thi, mere files khula tumne…
Nehi toh…
Toh off kiyu kar diya…
Maine mails par liya tha so I was about to switch it off anyway…
Jhoot phirse….
Bani looked frightened, yes it was a lie but why was she lying to him she did not know, she had every intension of sharing the learnings with him, so many couple have so many problem and they sort them out too, she had thought but looking at his face, she could not bring herself to tell the truth…
Daksh gripped her shoulders, I do not like anybody to touch my personal things…
I am sorry Daksh I just wanted …Before Bani could complete her sentence she found herself pushed violently on the ground, and as she collected her senses she was kicked hard several times, Bani crouched in fetal position, trying to save herself, suddenly it stopped, Bani lay there for sometime, realizing he has left, she got up limped to her mother in law's room…
Maaji she cried out…
No doubt the whole house was aware what was going on…
Keya hai, Gauri was looking stern…
Daksh mujhe peet raha hai…
Issme complain karne ka keya hai, mard hai, apne asu pochho aur sab ke liye chai banayo...
Lekin...
Dekho Bani, isko issue maath banao, mard hai, hote rehte hai, as Bani was leaving...
Aur ha Bahu, yeh khabar apna mayeke nehi pahuchna chahiye…
Bani bent her head and went towards the Kitchen…
Uptil now she could not inform her family about Daksh's violent other side, he was otherwise so calm and well behaved she knew her family will have difficulty in believing so, she also wanted to give some more time to Daksh remembering her mother's words the day her marriage got fixed, beta it is not easy to adjust with the best of family, you must have patience and loads of it..as Bani made tea, the other Bahus of the house joined in, everybody of behaving perfectly as if nothing happened….Bani thought are these people normal or did Daksh often loose his temper that they are all used to this….
+++
Next few days Bani avoided Daksh, slept on the floor and finally on the 4th day, Daksh hugged her and apologized…aisa aur kabhi nehi hoga, he said, mujhe maaf kar do…
Mai college join karna chahati hu, Bani said in reply…
Kiyu, college me keya hai, tumhe thori na naukri karna hai...
Your family had promised and I want to complete my studies....
Theek hai, I will think about it…
+++
It was over two months that Bani was married, things did not improve so to say…Daksh often twisted and punched Bani, Bani avoided him as far as possible, wore conservative clothes to cover the marks, hopes of her returning to college were also dashed as she soon discovered that Daksh did not like her to speak to any of the male members of his household even, Bani studied coed college…one day Bani quietly confessed to Rano when she went visiting….
While Rano wanted to call her mother and report, Bani prevented, Daksh abhi atahi hoga mujhe lene, aur shayad woh theek ho jaye….
When Daksh came to take her, Rano gave him unusually a cold smile…Daksh observed her…
As he parked his bike on reaching their home, he asked her what did she tell Rano that she seemed to be upset with him…
Bani got frightened…maine…kuch bhi toh nehi, again she started lying, I mean she is a bit upset in general today…
Kiyu…
She had a fight….
With whom,
With our Bhabhi…
Bhabhi looked all right aur Rano kis baath ki gussa mujh par nikal rahi thi…
Bani was loosing her patience, kisi baath ki nehi aap guilty hai, isiliye aapko aisa lag raha hai..
Mai guilty hu, kis baath ki guilty, women should be kept under the thumb nehi toh sar par char ke nachti hai and how dare you reply back to me…Daksh pulled Bani through the house to their room, Bani cried pleading to be released, the ladies of the house looked on, except for one of his brother's protested…keya kar rahe ho Daksh, …
Aaap se matlab Hari Bhai, aapke biwi se toh nehi kar raha hu….he shoved his brother away and pulled Bani to the room to beat her up black and blue….
+++
Rano of course informed the household, while Kiran cried, Nishikant could not believe that his daughter, who always got her way with her brothers by complaining about them to her taoji was bearing with all this for two months without a noise. He suddenly felt very proud of her, yes many marriages have problems and it will also be dealt with, we will talk to Daksh's family and sort it out, he assured and went out to discuss it with his brothers..
Next day when the Dixit's called up wanting to come over to discuss certain issues, Gauri kept down the phone…
Tu ne theek hi kaha tha Daksh, Bani lagta hai complain kar ke ayi hai….shaam ko ayenge, mai mana nehi kar saki….
Daksh glared at Bani…Bani limped around completing her job…Daksh got up….started approaching her, Gauri prevented…abh tu dukan ja, shaam ko dekha jayega…
Daksh stomped off…
Gauri came and stood in front of her, maine suna tha tu ghar ki ladli hai lekin yeh sasural hai, mayeka ka sukh idhar nehi milega jitna jaldi tu samaj ja utna hi achha hai…
