Chapter 1
The creaking of the door as it opened woke her up and she cringed in terror. Almost as a reflex, she closed her eyes and held her breath in. He tried to be quiet as he walked into the room, not wanting to wake her up but these damn hardwood floors... As he neared the bed, she held onto the covers as tightly as she could, afraid of what the future would hold for her. As he neared the bed he realised that she was already awake and aware that someone was in the room. He noted the stiffness of her otherwise relaxed frame. He took in the fact that he didn't see the rise and fall of her chest as she breathe in. He immediately took action and quickly climbed into bed beside her, moving in to hold her tight. She didn't move, she didn't breathe. She had learnt a long time ago, that it was best to be still and let him do what he wanted rather than put up a fight. Putting up a fight just made things more horrifying for her. If she just laid still he would be done quickly and would be on his way just as quick and she could forget all about it, pretend like it was a bad dream... just a nightmare.. yes, a recurring nightmare.
He put his arms around her terrified frame and whispered in her ear, "Shhh...Shhh... Its me.. Its just me." She was already in another world, locked away from the realities of life. A world where nothing and no one could hurt her. A world where she was just an innocent little girl loved by her Daddy and Mommy. A world where the only things that could scare her were her exams. A world where she would be anxious but at the same time excited about her first kiss. A world where one day she would adorn a beautiful wedding dress and marry the man of her dreams. A world where she would willingly bear the pain of child-birth because she knew the happiness that would follow. A world where her life would revolve around her hyperactive kids, a loving and caring husband and a fulfilling work load.
He patted her sweat drenched wet hair and kissed her forehead a few times all the while talking to her. "Its just me... open your eyes.. come on you can do it... open your eyes just once."
His voice vaguely registered in her consciousness. It sounded as if it were coming from far away like someone calling out to her from a distance. She felt his voice more than she heard it. She trusted that voice but was finding it hard to follow it. She pushed herself towards it.. She pushed till she could hear it as if he were standing right next to her and yelling it into her ear. She finally managed to bring herself to open her eyes. She gazed into his worried all knowing eyes and felt her body automatically begin to relax. As her eyes recognised him, her body recognised him and it didn't have to be told to relax, it just knew. She took in her first breath and let go of her hold on the covers.
He was glad to see the anxiety and panic in her eyes vanish and the steady rise and fall of her breathing.
"Rishab.." she whispered as she finally turned her body towards him, pushing herself atop him, embracing him with everything she had. "Shhh... its all over... He cannot hurt us now.." Rishab assured her as he embraced her shivering body as tightly as he could.
