Chapter 1 - 08/10 - Fractured - SS

Sunyy I couldn't not write it out. I won't make a book. Have tweaked it in my mind as a short story. Will avoid going into emotions.

Backdrop will be domestic violence and making marital rape illegal. Chapters will be short and to the point. Will not delve too much on the characters emotions because I will not be able to handle it. The stories I write affect me a lot and the emotions stay with me for quite a while

Introduction of the characters.
Kalpi an activist/ lawyer. Comes from a rich business family. Chooses to fight for women's rights. Lives with her mum and grandmaa. Single. 26 years. Kalpi is a reflection of the minority in society. Those wanting change.
Ragav a budding politician. Hails from a political family. Groomed to follow his father's footsteps. Married. 34 years. He is just like most men, crude, arrogant, a dirty politician, believes he is above the law. He is a reflection of what society is.

THE END

Prologue

Eighteen years ago

Ear pressed to her bedroom door, eight year old Kalpana Kapoor, known fondly as Kalpi shivers as she hears a muffled scream through her door. Taking a step back, she stares at the door in turmoil, debating whether this time she should break her promise to her mother.

She raises her hand towards the door handle, only to stop. Her soul fearing what she will see, she whispers, "no, I can't. I promised mum I would not come out of my room when daddy turns into a monster." Teary eyed, her heart cries out, "but what if mummy needs me... No, I can't break my promise."

Turning towards her dadi, who is lying in her bed, eyes open, staring at the ceiling, she races over, hopeful. "Dadi," she says as she shakes her trying to get her attention. "Dadi, please..." She says pleadingly as she continues to shake her, "please dadi..." Tears falling, she looks at the door helplessly, then back at dadi, who was fighting her own internal battle.

Decision made to help the woman she could, Kalpi lies next to her grandmother, links her tiny fingers with shriveled fingers and says softly, "you are not alone dadi... I am with you... I will never leave you..." Tears fall from eyes filled with agony as dadi's shriveled fingers tighten as she holds onto her granddaughter.

Minutes later, but feels like hours, the house is silent. Dadi turns towards Kalpi, her eyes filled with sadness, she says, "promise me you will be different." Not really understanding what her grandmother was asking of her, Kalpi smiles reassuringly and says, "I promise."

Fresh tears fall, shaking her head, dadi says, "you are a girl. It is our lot to suffer."

Fuzz!!!!😭 why do you always make me cry, cry and cry! 😭 💔

But really whenever a new story comes from you, I am like so so excited. 😃 I love how your write, so professional and intense and deep.Your portrayal of emotions is always so fantabulous. 👏 ⭐️ You are a star really. I want to thank you for giving the summary of this new story chapter-wise. 😳 I am giving you my feed-back in two capacities.

First, if I see from the point of view of a writer and as a story, concept. This whole story, concept, promised portrayal seems outstanding. One of those perfect stories which will leave an impact on the reader, even after months he/she reads it. Such stories do demand partly or complete tragic endings or even if not tragedies; then intense portrayals of characters and emotions, pain for a more effective impact. In order to amplify the significance of real objective of story, such scenes and portrayals are a demand. In that regard I am in love with it and your talent. 😃

Second, now from the viewpoint of a reader who always runs away from sad stories, too much painful stories, tragedies, tragic or too emotional portrayals. I simply do not like pain more than a certain amount in the stories as a reader. There is enough pain outside the stories, I often like to live my fantasy world in the stories as a reader. But as a writer; especially that of a non-RagNa story I do and can write anything; especially if it is issue based or objective based story. Though even then I may like to show a perfect happy ending mostly. But when it comes to RagNa, they become my perfect way to live love; my perfect love-couple; in fact perfect in everything. I tend to see and read them in a comparatively happier though not ideal way, in stories here, So in this forum painful stories are a complete No-No for me. I tend to mostly stay away from or leave such stories in-between.

Will you forgive me if I tell you, I'd be unable to read or unable to read regularly this particular story? 😭 I feel so bad.

And Fuzz love you. 🤗 Looking forward to read more of your work, old and new. 😳 I promise if I read something, I will try to comment more often. 😳 😃 😛
