Chapter 2
Kabir paced the room nervously,talking to Saurav in a tensed voice."It was all my fault...I should never have shouted at her like that ...She has never been this late.It I already 10 PM.She should have returned by now.I should go find her..."he said and turned but stopped after taking a few steps towards the door.He hesitated because he didn't knw how to face her.Saurav understood his uneasiness."Kabir,you should really go ...she might be waiting for you."he said.He persuaded Kabir to go an search for Nisha.Kabir closed the door and took the keys with him ."Kabir ,wait" Saurav called from behind when Kabir started walking."I am also coming...and we will take the car..its pretty late "Saurav said.Kabir agreed.They both got into the car with Saurav behind the wheel
Nisha heard light footsteps behind her."Might be Kabir"her heart whispered to her with unbound joy.Nisha slowened her pace.The footsteps seemed to fade as she slowed down.She turned back and looked.Not a single soul was there."Where is he?"thought Nisha."Maybe he was not there.It might be my mind playing games with me."she said to herself and continued walking.Again,she heard the same light footsteps behind her.Nisha listened intently trying to make clear whether she really heard the sound.Yes.This time she was not mistaken.She stopped short and turned.Again, no one.
"Kabir.."she called out in the darkness.No reply.
"Kabir don't play these stupid games of yours with me.I know that you are here.Come out of hiding now."she said with a smile.Again,no reply.Nisha started feeling uneasy.The growing darkness,the calm and deserted surroundings, suddenly seemed to frighten her.Her instincts told her that the person might not be Kabir,but someone else.She stood there all alone on the road,not knowing what to do.She checked the time.It was fifteen minutes past ten.It was really late.Realising that she should get back to home immediately,she started walking faster.The footsteps returned,this time louder and more intense."No, It is not Kabir"Nisha realised.Walking with him down this dark path on countless nights,his stride was almost registered in her mind.She quickened her pace once again,falling short of breath.The footsteps behind her got faster,as if they were chasing her.Nisha could bear it no more.Somebody was following her.She broke into a run but before she could even keep two steps,strong ,masculine hands gripped her hands from the back,making her halt.
Nisha realised that she was in trouble.Deep trouble.Too late to realise.The man behind her twisted her hands,making her face him.Her first instinct was to break the grip and run,but his grip was so powerful that Nisha couldn't break free from it.Trying to loosen his grip on her hands, she studied his face,looking for any trace of familiarity.Her mind was racing fast,and her heart was pounding hard against her ribs.The instant she looked at his eyes,everything became clear to her.Her legs froze and her brain became numb.Her mind began flashing moments that she hated to remember.The pilani incident...six boys...all around her...tossing her back and forth as if she was a mere toy.The incident that changed her life.She took years to recover from that shock.His cold black eyes reminded her of cruelty that happened to her.The same expression...the same wretched stony expression...the same greed was evident in his eyes.Nisha frantically pushed the man ,desperate to get out of his hold. "Leave me...Leave me now..."she said angrily,her voice courageous,careful not to expose the mind-numbing fear that she was experiencing..."Don't even try..."he hissed "You cant escape now..."and he gave a wild smirk..Nisha was sweating profusely...her breathing became heavy ...she was feeling sick...she wanted to scream...scream out loud...but all that came out from her covered mouth was a muffled cry...the voice got stuck in her throat...
He almost dragged a protesting Nisha from the road into the wilderness lining the sides of the road.Nisha kicked and turned continuously,trying to escape,but he was too strong her...Her whole body was aching ...her mind was blank..."only if someone...someone comes this way"...that was all she could think...He finally dropped her near a web of bushes and weeds and moved closer to her.
Kabir and Saurav were searching on the road for Nisha...she was nowhere to be seen...Kabir knew that this was their usual route and she wouldn't go anywhere else...Saurav asked him to relax and said that she might be somewhere near but he felt a strange fear growing inside him.Instinct told him that Nisha was in danger...He was tensed...Where will he search for Nisha in the middle of the night?He had no clue...He just wanted to see Nisha now,wanted to see her smiling face,and make sure that she is alright...He cursed himself for letting her go alone.He was standing in the middle of a deserted road ,that lay like an endless stretch of land ,the wilderness on its sides making it look even more frightening.
Nisha cursed herself for this ugly turn of fate.The beast was looking at her like an eagle waiting for the prey to surrender...so that it can tear the prey to pieces ...That very thought made her sick.She knew that she will lose the fight any moment ,but she could not afford to lose...She was growing tired with every second due to the resistance she was putting up...She knew that .But she was determined to fight..." I will fight...fight till death,if that be so...but I won't let u touch me...it's better to die than let a beast like you to touch me with your filthy hand"Nisha said,her words spitting fire...her eyes clearly expressing how much she hated him."Wow wow wow!how courageous!Lemme see what I can do"the man mocked her. He inched closer to her and ran his filthy hand over her face...Nisha pushed him but he was too heavy for her...His eyes roamed over the entire length of her body...Nisha loathed herself for letting him glare at her in the wrong manner.She hated being helpless.She felt like stabbing herself when he touched her face.He was about to hold her but the sound of footsteps in the distance stopped him .Nisha ,who was too desperate to escape from his clutch, failed to notice the sound...She kept shouting to leave her but he silenced her by covering her mouth.His attention was momentarily diverted from her ...he seemed to wait for the footsteps to fade away,looking at that direction,his hand still tightly clasped over Nisha's mouth.Nisha didn't wait.She pushed him with all her might and he stumbled, losing his balance.He fell down and hit the back of his head on a stone and started bleeding.
"Run..."her brain told her..."Run until you reach safety".But she didn't run.Instead,she looked around and her gaze fell on a rusted iron rod that was lying near wild bushes...She took the rod and walked back to the man who was now lying there,unable to get up.The anger...the frustration...the helplessness...it took the better part of her.She was no longer aware of her actions.She could no longer see anything.All she could see was white curtains...curtains that haunted her all life...curtains that blocked her from all fun in life...curtains that prevented her from enjoying what normal girls do..."Not again..."she muttered in a low voice..."NOT AGAIN!!!"she screamed at the top her voice ,her eyes filling with tears..."I couldn't do anything last time...I was helpless...But no...Not now...I won't let anyone ruin my life...I won't!"she said, measuring each word..."I AM NOT WEAK!!!They snatched everything from me...my teenage...my joy...everything...but I couldn't do anything...not again...I won't let you do that again.You will suffer for your actions"her whole body was burning with rage"She lifted the iron rod high with difficulty..
"Nisha..."Kabir shouted...he had heard voice coming from this side and came to search for Nisha.He stopped short seeing Nisha in such a bad state,holding an iron rod...A man was lying on the ground..he was bleeding profusely."Nisha...what are you doing?..You will kill him...drop it Nisha"Kabir said.But Nisha was no longer listening.She didn't even realise that Kabir was there.She didn't hear anything.She had to take revenge.She had to.She lowered the rod to strike the man when Kabir came and snatched the rod from her.She grabbed wildly for the rod but Kabir didn't let her take that."Give me that...I won't leave him .He should suffer for what he has done...Give me that rod..GIVE ME NOW!!!"Nisha shouted."Nisha..."Kabir said,trying to stop her but she didn't listen."Nisha...please calm down"Kabir said again in a soothing voice.But Nisha kept shouting again and again. Kabir shook her shoulders wildly and glared at her intensely.
"Nisha!what are u saying?Are you fine?Please calm down...Nisha,please tell something"Kabir asked,his voice laced with concern and sadness .Nisha looked at him,dazed... and began muttering something..All her energy had waned and she was feeling weak and tired.All the dragging and screaming had taken a toll on her..."She shook her head in a yes.She could hear Kabir shouting her name.But she did not have the strength to reply... She kept muttering something,hot tears rolling from her cheeks...and slowly...slowly Kabir's voice began to fade...her vision began to blur...and finally ,the world blacked out.
Kabir held his unconscious wife in his arms ,and looked at Saurav,who was beating the man furiously,his eyes bloodshot,each time cursing him under the breath for daring to touch his best friend. Tears sprang out of Kabir's eyes.He felt guilty for leaving her all alone...for not being by her side when she needed help...He was broken from within...He took Nisha in his arms and started walking towards the road,where the car was parked,his heart burdened with guilt and his eyes pooling with fresh tears.
