PART 4:
'She…I….Rahul she's hurting,' that was all Naina could say. How could she tell Rahul what Aman had done to Kakun, how he had violated her in the most terrible of ways. But he would have to know otherwise he would be unable to break the barriers that Kakun had already begun to build to lock Rahul out.
'Under the sink is a 1st aid kit give it to me.' Rahul takes a towel and dampens it, he gently washes Kakun face, there is no reaction, Rahul frowns looking concerned. He slowly cleans her hands and looks to see if any glass is in any of the cuts. Naina passes the box to him, with care and love he cleans Kakun wounds and dresses them, as he finishes he bends down and softly kisses the palms of her hands.
At this Kakun reacts 'No don't touch me Rahul! I'm unclean!'
'What do you mean unclean?' Rahul ask puzzled looking at Kakun then at Naina
'Rahul this is not the time or place for this discussion.' Naina replies worried.
'This is the perfect time Naina' Kakun replies 'I'm unclean Rahul. Dirty! Did you not understand what Aman said about being with me? Knowing me in a way you would never? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND RAHUL?!' the last sentence Kakun shouts at Rahul.
'I understand more then you think Kakun. And as for being unclean or dirty, you are the most purest, the most innocent person I have been blessed to ever meet, especially right now.' Rahul replies softly to Kakun, looking at her, showing all his love to her.
Kakun cannot believe what she sees in Rahul eyes or hears in his words and voice; love pure and simple. He doesn't understand what Aman did to her if he did he wouldn't be anywhere near her, she had to make him understand for that was the only way he would turn to Naina and her love.
'He touched me all over Rahul. There is not one part of my body that he didn't touch, he..he..came…he was….' Kakun could not continue what words could she use to explain what Aman did to her, 'he…..'
'He RAPED you Kakun. RAPE is the word you want.' Rahul finishes the sentence for her.
Kakun head lifts quickly, her shocked eyes searching Rahul, 'had she heard right?'
'Yes Kakun I do know what Aman did to you and if I could I'd sell my soul to the devil so I could change what he did. You are pure and clean Kakun- nothing Aman did changes that and don't you dare let him make you ever think otherwise!'
Rahul walks the few steps to Kakun and gently takes her shoulders in his hands, he lifts her head under her chin gently but forcing her to stare at him straight in the face, 'You are my Kakun; you are as innocent and pure as the 1st time I met you on the train in Kolkatta. You are as beautiful and delightful as you were in the mandir where we married. You are the only good thing in my otherwise selfish and miserable life and without you I am nothing; I am without soul, without heart and without love - you are my soul, you are my heart and you are my love!'
