Entwined
Chapter-36
"I...I've never..."
"-----oh no problem, you will get used..."
"But..."
"Let me just show you the ways, for now love..."
**
"AHHH!!!"
**
"I want you Khushi..."
"------Rohan please..."
"Let me feel your softness..."
**
"You need to be tamed..."
**
"You have to get used to it all.."
**
"You need to get aroused Khushi..."
And the weird molestation continued for as long as five months in her alleged marriage, making every passing day more and more distressing for her to live. It was like she dreaded each night that came after the day and hoped that she didn't have to see the day that follows later on. She didn't quite figure out what was going on with her, and if she had to tell anyone, let alone seek her parents help.
It was not until that very alarming day, that she finally was able to connect the dots, but maybe it was too late even.
**
She opened the door of her room to a tall, quite obscure man, with his neatly shaved face and sophisticated attire, barged into her room all too commandingly and his evil sneer echoing around, everything of which disgusting her right from the core of her nerves.
"Who are you?" she said quite petrified causing him to utter another amused giggle.
"Akash, Akash Singhania. I'm sure boss didn't mention anything about me, but I'm your family you see?" the tall figure almost hovered over, the sudden air of his extra strong cologne suffocating her causing her to stumble back in both disgust and horror.
"Boss said something about you being the feisty lamb ever? I thought I'd see it myself..."
The next minute she knew, she was pinned to the wall, touched, handled, persuaded, her skin being tasted, private parts being groped amidst her protesting loud screaming and little feeble fighting and just when she thought she lost the little battle, the monster of a man was abruptly pulled away from her petite form, leaving her struggling to catch her breathing.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" she heard Rohan's and as if coming out a horrendous dream, she rushed to Rohan, hiding behind him.
"Boss..."
"Shut the f**k up! Is this the way you behave with her?" she heard the almost angry-like voice, before Rohan turned around to face her. "She is still the fragile flower man, now we don't want to rape her, do we? That might cause her to die even... she needs to offer it all herself for this to work, she will get there, no?"
Finally the mystery behind those black eyes unveiled to her. His eye-brows creased in, even as his wicked smile remained intact, just as his face masked with that of such sudden malevolence, that it seemed like it has always been right there yet she couldn't just see it.
"Wh...what?" she asked her voice trembling with sudden terror, and her face completely blank and alarmed.
"Everything about you is my own very property, is there any rule as such?"
"-----huh?"
"Khushi my love, I need you to come with me now..." he said gripping her wrist abruptly, his evil eyes maintaining the dreadful eye-contact and he started walking, dragging her along with him and Akash closely following them. She stumbled on her walking foot, sudden panic engulfing her and just as all dangerous thoughts crossed her mind, she protested holding her hand back from being dragged away, her insides churning up with unknown apprehension.
"Rohan..."
"Stop fighting me you stubborn woman!" he snapped turning around abruptly to meet his gritted teeth with that of her horrified stance. Before she could process what was happening, she was being dragged away again.
"The time for innocent learning is now over Khushi Singhania, you have been the toughest one so far! You have already wasted a lot of my time. If not for the thrice of the usual money I would get for the fresh ones like you, you are not worth for the drama at all, bloody f**king hell!"
She stumbled on her foot again holding back, tugging the rigid objects on their way, pulling him back, refusing and wailing in all ways possible, but everything of which in complete vain. Just when she finally got her hand slipped from Rohan's deathly grip, Akash was right behind her, lifting her off her feet, throwing her on his shoulder, and walking away out of the house, completely playing oblivious to her yelling and wailing.
**
"Hey hey Stop..."
Her vigorous foots-steps continued to pace faster along the foot-path adjoining the thick snow-bed as the flakes of snow combined with accelerated wind flew in slanting manner, disturbing her vision while her hands took turns between hugging herself closer and wiping the tears off her face.
"Khushi..." He called out following right behind her, trying to keep up with her almost jogging pace, but she continued to walk ahead, tugging her coat around her much closer.
"Stop Khushi!" he said holding her elbow just as he reached her and turned her around. He took one sharp intake of breathe, gathering her extremely tortured face and tear-stained eyes. His heart felt so heavy inside his chest, his face constricted almost instantly and his grip tightened at her elbow with mixed tangle of emotions tugging him down, completely.
"Just a simple No, would do, stop doing this..." he almost said with his clenched teeth, agitation filling in his nerves as he pointed out his two fingers at her freshly filling tears. It only caused her to let out that much needed sob, the mere sound of which twisting the walls of his heart, only adding to his mounting concern combined with anxiety. Without giving her anymore time, he turned around and walked her back with his firm grip at her elbow leading them back towards the guest house.
"Arnav, please let me go.." She finally spoke in her hoarse voice, as he seemed completely unaffected to her words walking in a possessed mission, leading the both of them over the foot-path.
"Arnav..."
"I said NO!" he snapped just throwing a glare at her for a second before looking away.
"You don't know what you are doing Arnav...Just let me go please, leave me alone"
"That's not happening..."
"Arnav, you don't know what are you taking back, you don't want this Arnav, trust me..."
"Don't want what??"
"Me, us, everything, you don't know anything about me, you don't need any of my shit Arnav, enough damage have been done already, I have to go back to where I belong to..."
"I didn't know your ears weren't functioning lately, you could have told me, I would have arranged a machine so you could hear what I spoke about where you belong to pretty clearly..." He spoke nonchalantly continuing to walk ahead grabbing her right behind him.
"You don't know what you are getting into Arnav, just let me go!"
"I don't care...!"
"Is that why you have been trying to investigate about me?"
"---No that's because you are not safe and I had been trying to protect you..."
"Explains everything..."
And he suddenly stopped walking, his stance stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes going wide realization settling in and he turned around slowly yet reluctantly to come face to face with her hurt eyes. There was no hatred or anger in her eyes like he dreaded to see, but in its place was pure hurt, guilt and helplessness which was even more worse.
"Wh...what?" he tried to utter despite the lump in his throat.
"I do realize Arnav, I didn't leave you any other chance did I? Brilliant plan indeed, commendable, really! But you should have waited until you get the whole information before you did something like that inside, don't you think?"
His face remained blank, not being able to process the sudden revelation, and he remained still and alarmed as she rescued her hand from his grip, used the palm of the same hand to retrieve the phone inside the jacket of her coat, took his hand in hers, opening his palm and placing it and simultaneously working through the options on the screen and playing the last voice message------- with her eyes constantly captivating his molten orbs.
"The illegal activity in which Singhanias are involved is Sex Trafficking--------selling girls to prostitution' Arnav and I'm sorry, I'm positive Khushi had been the victim here..."
Whatever were the remains of blood in his face washed away, his face went even more pale if that was even possible, it was like a huge rock fell at the place of his heart and a his nerves were entirely accumulated mounting anxiety +rage+ protectiveness along with panic, all in mere few seconds.
He then heard her laugh out loud, bitterness coating completely in her voice as she walked around a little trying to come in terms with the situation...
"You sure don't want to marry a s**t now, do you?"
That brought him back to his senses and he charged towards at her in one vigorous moment gripping her back to the wall near-by almost rushing her under the roof of the closed store where they stopped. "Sh..." he said clenching his teeth, his eyes squeezed shut as his forehead touched hers while his breathing became uneven owing to his sudden rage combined with panic.
The mere reaction brought her back to her own reality and she closed her eyes even letting out those peals to crawl over her cheeks. "I'm a prostitute Arnav..." She wailed helplessly, causing him to tug at her hands.
"Shut-up!" he said only to find her withdraw them almost instantly. His eyes flickered between their hands before reaching out to hold her hands again, when she pushed him away using her palms.
"DON'T.PUSH.ME.AWAY"
"--------you don't bloody get it??? You don't want to have me around, I'm a bloody prostit------"
Her outburst suddenly was interrupted when he held her by her neck vigorously with one hand pulling her in, causing her to gasp-------- "Take that word one more time Khushi I swear I'll------------"
"That's the reality of me Arnav!" she cried helplessly, her feeble hands slapping the front of chest and he let her beat.
"NO!! Talk to me!"
"--------That is what I'm being called"
She continued to cry slapping him again, while he offered his arms to her slaps, with his tortured eyes crying along with her.
"Let me go!! I'm no good for you..."
"------Khushi..."
"I'm the victim of Sex-Trafficking..., I'm a s**t..."
"-----Shhh...shhh!!"
"You don't need this!"
"------Its okay..."
"I don't deserve you..."
"-------------I don't think so..."
"I can't take this pain anymore Arnav!! Why can't I just be deserving enough for all that you said to me inside?? Why Arnav? Why??"
And she cried and wailed, her frail hands not being able to vent in the form of the little beating anymore, when he finally held her both hands and pulled her in, thudding her weak form inside his embrace, holding her, accepting her grief and even as she protested initially, she gave in eventually, crying over his shoulder, weeping, sniffing, whimpering and struggling to breathe, with his hands offering her the much needed solace.
"Talk to me Khushi, just talk..."
Were the last words that she heard, before losing her consciousness, tired and exhausted as she slid inside his embrace, along his hardness, stumbling onto the ground, just when he held her by her waist in place, gathering her completely into him, all too protectively.
