I wish the CVs would hurry up and give her some happy moments already!😡
She tried to leap out of the bed onto which she had been roughly shoved a moment ago but couldn't. It was as if she as paralyzed and tied down to this abomination while the monster advanced on her with a leering smile
"What is it dearest wife? Scared to do your duty and make me happy? "He taunted cruelly, savoring her fear with each step
She whimpered, terrified beyond words, terrified of what would happen if he crossed that small distance and reached her
"Go away" she whispered
He tutted at that and said" Just for that I will ask Ma to punish you in the kitchen today. After our tryst of course" With that he was there, his hands were around her neck and mouth, gagging her and all she could do was scream inside...
Ganga woke up screaming. Sweat poured down her face and she felt cold all over. She turned around frantically and then zeroed in on the tiny body sleeping next to her. Turning over, she gathered her precious baby to her, deriving comfort from the soft peaceful little bundle sleeping without a care. Frantically she glanced over to the door before letting out a sigh of relief. It was locked
Though the creature was still in the same house as she was in, there was some comfort to be had in the thought that he was at the opposite end of it. Also now that there was Padma he wouldn't come to her now. Dear God, please...
She still kept vigil the whole night, clinging to her child and staring terrified at the door
*******************************************************************
The nightmare was back. He was there twisting her arms and wrists and she felt the old feeling of helplessness flood down her, her mind was going to that blessedly blank place...
"Ganga!"
She woke up with a start. Two strong arms were holding her down and she felt sick with horror at the knowledge that the nightmare was real. She twisted in the grip, crying out helplessly. It slackened immediately and the voice said again
"Ganga"
She stilled. She knew that voice. Opening her eyes slowly she found herself facing two worried dark familiar eyes. She collapsed with a sigh of relief
Jagya stared at her worriedly, keeping his hold on her gentle. He had been released from jail and had returned home immediately longing to see his family but a flat tire had delayed him and he had reached late. Not wanting to disturb Ganga and Mannu he had made his bed in the living room when her screams had started and he had raced upstairs to find her thrashing about in the bed
"Ganga?" he tried again softly. Keeping his touch infinitesimally gentle, he slowly raised her chin so that he could get a better glimpse of her face and stilled as he felt her tears soaking his shirt
"Ganga?" now his voice was laced with panic. She shook her head and clung to him tighter clearly not wanting to talk about it. Well too bad for her
"Ganga you know as well as I do that I am not leaving this without an explanation" he said keeping his voice firm and neutral, trying to hide down the bounding panic
She sniffled and raised her head. He stared down at her. With two red eyes, a swollen face, tear streaks on her face and a blocked nose she was the most adorable looking person he had seen. His gaze softened and he suddenly felt a warm glow suffuse him at the knowledge that this little woman was his wife.
She had apparently come to the conclusion that he was serious. Staring up at him she said
"Erhgventmears"
He blinked. "Sorry?"
She sighed and looked up
"I have nightmares" she admitted in a small voice.
"Of what?" he asked, completely serious in an instant. She looked up at him again, staring for a moment before coming to a decision. Tightening her hold on him and concentrating on the feel of his arms around her she told him
He didn't say anything when she finished. Slowly lifting her off his lap, he loosened her grip on his shirt. She clutched tighter, terrified that he was disgusted with her and that he no longer wished to be married to her now that he had heard her shameful past. She looked up at him pleading with her eyes to understand
His jaw seemed a little tensed but his face was carefully blank. His eyes softened as he stared down into her terrified eyes.
"Shh, sweetheart, I just want to tuck you in" he said softly and lifted her off him to gently lay her down. Carefully tucking the coverlet around her, he smoothed a strand of hair around her face and then asked
"When did this start again? You didn't have them at the Haveli"
She said sleepily" I felt safe there, Dr.Saab. He couldn't get me there. By the time I went to Mangalore, it was almost gone. But then, Bala tried to...and you went to jail...and I felt so alone..." she broke off, fear coating her voice again
He shushed her and said slowly and carefully, staring into her eyes and willing her to believe him
"You are my wife now Ganga and that means you will always be safe. No matter if I am not there by your side at that moment, I will never let anything happen to you. Never. You are mine now and I will kill the next man who thinks to hurt you"
She tensed at that and clutched at his arms, the word kill clearly terrifying her, memories of his arrest still fresh in her mind
"Shh..shhh..I didn't mean that" he lied, soothing her back to sleep
She closed her eyes. He was stroking her face and humming something. Blackness was closing in but somehow it didn't terrify her so much. She smiled softly
*******************************************
It was morning and Ganga hurried down, eager to start the day. She pulled up short when she entered the hall. A truck had drawn up at the front door and people were carrying in pieces of furniture into the hall which was looking strangely bare.
" Jagdish Bhaisa has decided that he needs to gift us for our help and therefore has decided to buy new furniture for the hall" Koyal's cheerful voice sounded behind her accompanied with a roll of her eyes. Doctor Saab, who was standing outside with the truck saw them and raised a bandaged hand in mock salute, winking
"He cut himself when he was helping them lift down the furniture" Koyal said hastily "It's just a graze Bhabhisa"
Ganga smiled with pride. That was her Doctor Saab. Turning away she made her way to the kitchen, laughing with Koyal, ready for a new start
Koyal heaved a sigh of relief. Just as well that she had not told Ganga Bhabisa how the old furniture had been got rid of. She had returned home early in the morning to find Jagdish Bhaisa huddled in a corner of the hall, the furniture in shards around him and a long jagged wound on his arm from a splinter
