Chapter 6

Her beauty was her enemy. Her beauty turned people evil. It was her curse.

Her mother's second marriage was a forced one by her relatives. She was a widow, with a girl and very poor. Instead of treating her with the love and providing her with strength, they viewed her as a burden. Her mother was a person with self-respect more than most of the women in their village. Her pride made her strive hard for Naku ignoring everyone's insults. Without even consulting her, the relatives decided on her second marriage to a man Ganpat. He didn't seem bad. He had a daughter,Roshini, a few years elder than Naku. Her Aiyi was apprehensive in the beginning but having a man beside her might help protecting her daughter, yet fate had proved it wrong. Her father didn't protect her, yet literally sold her out.

Naku had been excited to get a new sister but she was so different from her. Soon they had a brother, Setji, who was the only person who kept the family together. Nakusha slowly started assisting her mother. Her mother used to work as a servant whereas Naku started looking after her brother and the house. Their father however ended up as a gambler, irresponsible and wasting money.

When Roshini bloomed into her adolescence, her sister's sole aim was to somehow get married to a rich guy to escape the clutches of poverty. Not only did she start dressing provocatively but she was highly attracted to the ones who were following a path of dread. She loved men who smoked cigars with a ragged look, enjoying life as it came.

Nothing could stop her. Naku's Aiyi tried her level best to bring her to senses but . . .

Aiyi: " Roshini, villagers are talking so dirty about you? Why are you hanging out with those rowdies? "

Roshini shouted:"Why do you even care? You aren't my mother!"

Aiyi was shocked. Aiyi couldn't handle Roshini's hateful eyes scorching her soul.

Roshini:" I love my man. Whether you like it or not, he is my husband! I don't need you to decide my future."

The next week, a procession of people with different offerings in their hand came for taking her talking of the most feared, rich, crooked man of the village, MalMal More. He already had Ganpat in his hands, giving him money to gamble, giving him free drinks. Her father was the happiest to accept this proposal. Aiyi and Naku had no choice.

But that wasn't all. Years passed, Naku was extremely beautiful. She had started working in a household and was almost harassed by a man. Her mother was furious, even Setji, though he didn't understand what happened to her sister was ready to kill anyone who made her cry. Her mother often used dark kohl in work.

Her beauty, however, was known to another man; her own Jeeju. Naku's instincts screamed at her whenever that man laid eyes on her. He visited often and was quite pleased that Naku used kohl while going to work. His lustful eyes never left her. Roshini di and More had come home for a few months when Roshini was pregnant with her first child. Naku was disgusted by his advances, but she couldn't share it with anyone. Her mother however noticed the lewd behaviour of her son-in-law and that is when the war began.

Bhabi:" You know what Naku is going through. Our own son-in-law . . . "

Ganpat was bored to death. He coolly replied:"I know what is happening. More told me that he likes Naku too. I mean what is wrong? He is rich. He is a man. He even asked me to let Naku marry him. I mean why not?"

Bhabi slapped her husband and grabbed his shirt.

Bhabi:"I don't know what you think. But both the girls are my daughters. You are ruining two people's lives. Shame on you!! How would Roshini feel? How can Naku go to that house? Don't you dare interfere in their marriages?"

More:"Well, I can. . . " entered with Naku, his face adorned with an evil smile,"Naku. . . You will marry me right? " he asked getting close to her smelling his hair.

Naku:"Y. . Yes. . . "

Bhabi:"Naku!!!!"

Bhabi felt like her soul was ripped out of her body. What Bhabi didn't see was a gun sliding in Naku's back. When it came to everyone's view, Bhabi gasped.

More:"Naku knows exactly what will happen if she escapes. I wouldn't even have second thoughts about killing her family. . . "

(Present time)

Jagtap felt relieved, the gun shot was heard and all the men entered the forest. He gathered a few of his followers and they camouflaged silently behind them to plan an attack. A ring blared disrupting the serenity of the forest.

"Ji, Madam! "

Phone:" Guys, I need to meet you guy now. You useless bas***ds. . . " '

"But. . . "

Phone:" I don't want any buts and ifs . . . "

The men were retreating back when a few were whispering: "Atleast Bhau is considerate, this woman treats us like objects. Doesn't care whether one is alive or not. . . Don't know why I was foolish enough to join her."

Dadha didn't want to attack them. Though he blood was raging for whoever was behind it. He couldn't bring himself to kill everyone because he didn't want to shed blood unnecessarily. If these men die, then it is always another set of men under the leader. He might regret this later, but he knew that it is the leader who needs to be caught and not them. Right now, Dutta and Naku were safe so that's all that matters.

(Dutta)

His legs were begging him to give himself some rest and his stomach was growling, but Dutta couldn't eat anything knowing that Naku might be suffering, alone in darkness and starving. Hours of long travel was finally gifted with Naku's slender crouching form near a tree.

He sat down on his knees, " Nakusha. . . Naku. . . "

She didn't respond. Dutta reached out his hand to wake her up, shook her form. She slowly lifted her head and her eyes opened.

Dutta could see the stream of tears and was deeply concerned by her dead look in her face.

Dutta whispered gently:"Naku Naku kya hua?"

She suddenly clutched of kurta, her eyes erupted in tears and she begged,:"Please save my Aiyi, my brother, my sister, my dhadha. . . " and she fainted.

Dutta carried her to a nearby lake, took some water and splashed it in her face only to receive the shock of his life. He watched dark deposits give away to reveal Naku's true beautiful face. He gulped, awed by her beauty.

"Most people covet for beauty but this woman is hiding it from the world. If a woman has to hide her beauty, it can't mean any good. . . "
