FF: Raj Naina - Knight in Shining Armor Pg 18

Raj made his way to his hotel room. He was a weapons expert but he hated this part of his job. Being on expert military panels to oversee the purchase of new weapons and equipments. He hated dealing with defence contractors who were often willing to make money even by putting the lives of the men in uniform at risk.

He hated such men. And maybe out of all them, he hated the man he met today the most - RAGHAV SACHAR. He had spent the entire day trying to woo him instead of focusing on the specifications and details of the equipment he was trying to sell to the army. And he appeared to be a ruthless man. He couldn't remove the image of the way he verbally abused his wife when he discovered a shortcoming in the preparations she had made for lunch.

Interesting story

Naina married and living with a monster.

Well will be thrilling and exciting to read next lparts

Keep updating

Waiting...

When Raj moved to Ambala he sent Naina a text "I am here in Ambala. Let me know if you ever want to meet or need any help from me. Rajveer"

He never heard back from Naina. He wasn't surprised.

Naina, on the other hand, cherished the text. She had even considered replying but decided Raj didn't deserve to be dragged into her messy life.

Many months passed. Raj was enjoying his teaching role at KMA. He enjoyed mentoring his cadets outside work. He had also become good friends with many members of the staff icluding Dr. Shalini.

INFIRMARY

Raj: What's up Doc? You look worried.

Shalini: Looking at the pregnancy reports of one of my patients. It's positive.

Raj: She doesn't want the baby?

Shalini: She does.

Raj: So what's the problem?

Shalini: Raj she's in an abusive marriage but has no way to get out. That scoundrel she's married to - he's not human. A year back also she was pregnant. He pushed her and she miscarried.

Raj: That is heart breaking

Shalini: She was devastated. She had so many hopes pinned on the baby. When she first saw the baby in an ultrasound scan, she cried and smiled - this was the first time she smiled in months.

Raj: But why would she want to carry the baby of such an abusive husband. She needs to leave him.

Shalini: She can't. Her family circumstances are complicated. And last she was pregnant she basically dissociated herself form the fact that the baby belonged to that man. She just saw it as her source of happiness. Only bright spot in a horrid life. I am sure she'll decide to keep this baby as well. But god only knows what will happen going forward.

CITY HOSPITAL

Naina walked into the Shalini's cabin and Shalini gave a yelp of horror.

Shalini: Did he?

Naina nodded.

Shalini: That's it Naina. I am going to the police.

Naina: Shalini you know what my situation is. PLEASE!!!!!

Shalini: Naina you can't go on like this. You have been in this abusive marriage for two years. And now your baby... Yes Naina you are pregnant. 12 weeks.

Naina: Shal my baby is it ok?

Shalini: We'll have to check.

Shalini: Naina it's a miracle that the baby is OK.

Naina: Thank God!

Shalini: When will you tell Raghav?

Naina: In a few weeks.

Shalini: So that abortion doesn't remain an option? Naina I know he will ask you/ ftry and force you to abort. Naina this needs to end.

Naina: Shal please just tend to my wounds. I need to go home.

Shalini gave up. She tended to Naina;s wounds and let her go. Rajveer was just entering the hospital when Naina was leaving the cabin. He called out to her but she ignored him.

Raj: Was that Naina Sachar in your cabin?

Shalini: I can't say.

Raj: Shalini tell me!!! She was wearing shades but I could see her bruised eyes.

OMG... Is Naina the woman you told me about?

Shalini: Raj I can't tell you the name.

Raj; Don't. I am going after her and talking to her myself.

Raj ran out and caught up with Naina just as she was leaving from the parking lot. He held her hand and made her stop.

Naina: Rajveer let me go!

Raj didn't say a word. He gently rolled up the sleeves of her kurta and saw bruises all over. He removed her shades and saw her bruised eyes.

Raj: Come with me to the police station. You need to stop this.

Naina: It is none of your business Rajveer. None of your business.

Naina left and Raj was frustrated. He kept calling and texting her over the next month but she ignored him. He considered going back to the Sachar house but he knew that would make things worse for her.

ONE MONTH LATER.

Raghav and Naina were at his colleagues party. Naina had worn a flowing dress to hide her emerging bump. But someone spilled wine on her dress. She was forced to change into a dress that made her bump visiple

Raghav and Naina got home.

Raghav: You have put on wight haven't you?

Naina: Yes. I'll start dieting and be back in shape in no time.

Raghav: You are still gorgeous and the glow on your face.

He kissed her and made her lie down on her back. He then lay on top of her. Naina was very nervous about the baby.

Naina; Raghav you keep suggesting we try something different. I can go on top or maybe we can try something from the side.

Raghav: No good old fashioned missionary works for me. He began putting more pressure on Naina till she finally pushed him away.

Naina: No Raghav... No.. I am ... I am pregnant.

Raghav got up and yanked her to her feet.

Raghav: I realized the moment I saw you in the dress. Waiting for you to end your charade. How many weeks? I said how many weeks.

Naina: Raghav please listen to me.

BAMMM...BAMMM...

Raghav slapped Naina across her face twice.

Naina: 17 weeks.

Raghav pushed her against the wall. Naina supported herself with her hands to prevent her stomach from hitting the wall. Raghav pulled her hair.

Raghav: Smart girl. Knew that no doctor will perform an abortion at this point. But you need to stop acting smart with me.

He used all his force and pushed Naina to the ground.

AAAHHH.

Raghav stormed off.

Naina was in agony. She touched her bump and could feel herself bleeding. She desperately called Shalini. Shalini wasn;t picking up. She was becoming helpless. Finally she decided to call Rajveer.

Naina: Rajveer. Raghav pushed me. I need help.

Raj: I am close to your house. Be there in 5. Just hang in there.

Raj rushed over and found Naina writhing in pain on the floor. He picked her up and drove her to the hospital. Shalini had just gotten out of surgery and was trying to get in touch with Naina. She saw Raj bring in Naina in a stretcher.

She rushed her into the OT. Raj waited outside. Praying with all his heart and soul for Naiina. Shalini came out an hour later - exhausted and relieved.

Shalini: Its a miracle. We were able to save both Naina and the baby.

Raj said a silent prayer, Naina was wheeled into the recovery room. Raj sat oustide. She regained consciousness a few hours later. Shalini told him that Naina wanted to speak to him.

Naina: Raj, I owe you my life. And my child's. You came despite how badly I have behaved with you.

Raj: Shhh... Rest. We'll talk tomorrow morning.

Naina: No Raj. I need to say this now. Otherwise I might change my mind.

HELP ME!!!!!!

I want to get out of this. I want to fight. I want to fight for myself. For my baby.

But I need help. Please help me.

She put out her hand and Raj immediately put her hands on top of them. He felt Naina's tears fall on his skin.

Raj: Enough tears Naina. It's now time for Raghav Sachar to cry.

Raj as Savior, continue soon
