She wanted to gain her freedom-- but more than that, she wanted the Jallad to...come. Give her the chance to reject HIM, tell the nurses she did not want HIM in her cabin. She wanted the Jallad to ask her how she was feeling, so she could coldly turn her head away, and show the red weals on her back in answer--the stripes that had been given to her because of HIS hatred, HIS refusal to believe. She wanted the Jallad to grovel, fall at her feet so she could step away, could absorb pleasure from his pain. HE should give her the right to turn HIM away, deny HIM her forgiveness, make HIM long for her mercy so that she could then not give it to HIM. The Jallad owed her many things by now, Paro thought, restless--her skin a tight, itching suit over her spasming muscles.

But most of all, HE owed it to her, to take this rejection, owed her the chance to inflict this one, small pain. She had borne so much pain, gifted to her, to her mind body and soul from HIM. Could the Jallad not bear just this one pain, this one rejection from her?

Where was HE?

Yesss!!!!! An angry, betrayed and vengeful Paro. But her revenge...or her repayment of his pain is not asking the universe for his pound of flesh in return but the smallest of things and yet the largest at the same time.

Rejection. Rejection of him, what he stood for, who he was. Just as he had rejected her protestations of innocence, her pleas of mercy and her begging for freedom. All the pain that is encompassed by a person being rejected so entirely. She thought it would be a small pain but we know better. Rejection especially by Paro is not something that Rudra has the ability to withstand. Especially now when he is being tortured by his own conscience.

I'm so happy that you included her perspective in this way. I know she is such a white character that she is almost transparent but had she not felt at least some negative feelings than it would be unbelievable.

She knows who was truly responsible for her pain and while she may not seek retribution like others, she at least wants him to acknowledge the repercussions of his actions. That he did wrong. to her. So very Paro!

Some part of Paro wanted her to let go, fall into the darkness waiting for her right behind her trembling body. The shadow approached behind her, a dark reflection wavering in the window before her. HIS eyes, gimlet hued, blazing with an eerie glow looked into her own in that weak reflection. Paro felt light headed. What was it she felt? Relief? Rage? It did not matter. She did not turn her head, as she heard the soft thud of his heavy body falling down, onto his knees, right behind her.

HE had come.

Navin just a request, can u plz add today's scene of Paro asking Rudra to pray to god to make Paro go away from his life forever, I don't know why but it really hit me hard that how hard it is for a woman to ask her husband to pray like that.

Ps: can u plz complete perfection as well, I am dying to read the end of that story.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Interesting request. I actually am more or less done with the update, but there is one spot where I can see incorporating this dialogue (in a modified form--as they are clearly not married, and still prisoner/jallad in my series) where this might just work. Let me know what you think about it when you see it used (just for you!) Farheen!</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">PS: Perfection is also being worked on, paragraph by paragraph. You'll get a PM when thats up!</font>
