So he put his arms around her waist and under knees picking her up in his arms. Inaayat gasped when she felt herself getting in the air and she looked around that he was holding her in his arms. She looked at his face in utter confusion while his face was void of any emotions. He walked towards the bed and gently placed her in the middle. When she felt the soft mattress touching her back her tensed body relaxed. "Ab aap yahan aaram karengi aur hum baki ki baatein baad mein karenge." He said more like commanded instead of asking her. She just nodded her head silently not defying him. (Translation: Now you will rest here and we will talk about the rest later.) "A-Aap bhi aa jaiye." She said patting the empty space beside her which shocked him to his core. (Translation: Y-You also come.) The way she innocently asked him to lay beside her made something twist in his stomach and he couldn't let out a word due to shock. She was waiting for him while looking at his face with her
Tears were streaming down from Inaayat's eyes when she stopped speaking and her breathing was laboured too. Her body was trembling like a leaf and her lips were shaking badly making it difficult for her speak clearly. Hiccups were coming out of her mouth and she looked like a complete mess. Her fear, pain, anxiety and trauma was coming out in front of Ryker who was blank for a moment because it was all shocking and new for him. He has already comforted her in the best way he could but now her condition was worse and he just didn't know how to calm her down. Deep down he was something odd and foreign feeling after watching her in a complete mess. Her tears, her painful cries, the agony in her voice tearing something inside him. He could feel that seeing her in pain he felt as if he was hurt more than her, he could feel a physical jab in his chest. "H-H-Hame bohot dard hota tha. Hum unse mana b-bhi karte the lekin wo hame bohot m-marte the." Inaayat sobbed out remembering years of p
He pulled her down, flat on the floor while holding her ankle earning a cry from her. Her back got badly scraped against the hard floor. He tore the part of her torn clothes exposing her stomach and grinned at her maniacally; before she could understand what he was doing he stuck the burning red hot at her stomach earning a loud painful cry from her. She tried to roll off from there but his vice like grip didn't let her. "Ab dekhta hoon kaise mujhe mana karti hai." He said through his gritted teeth while she just wanted it to end as soon as possible but the worst was about to come. (Translation: Now let's see how you reject me.) He threw the rod away in the corner and opened the container of spices. Fisting red chilli powder and salt in his hand he rubbed the spices on her burning wound making her eyes go red due to intolerable pain and burning. She thrashed on the floor wanting to break free from him hold but it was impossible for a fragile girl like her to fight against his b
Flashback It's been two years since Inaayat has lost her Bhanu. Two years of being abandoned, orphan and alone but still she didn't loose her hopes and kept that string of expectation in her heart that one day her Bhanu will come back to her. Two years of her moving out or more like the people of haveli throwing her out of Bhanu Pratap's room and gave her an abandoned room on the other side of the haveli as per Abhinendra's will. She also didn't have any say in it so she complied the orders without any questions. He didn't want her to live in the servant quarters because if he will go there to see her anytime he likes, there will be so many servants around then and his intentions towards her were not clean enough to be seen by the people around so he told Sudha that he wanted her to keep Inaayat at such a place that he would have access there always without coming in anyone's acknowledge because he had to keep his reputation clean too due to political reasons. So Sudha intentio
"Acchi jagah? Wo hame kyun nahi le gaye acchi jagah? Hum kab jayenge iss duniya se hame bhi uske paas jaana hai." She asked wiping her tears immediately after hearing that her Bhanu will be sad if she'll cry. She sniffed and tried to control herself. (Translation: A good place? Why didn't he take me to a good place? When will I leave this world? I also want to go to him.) "Wo aap ko nahi le jaa sakte the. Wahan par koi apni marzi se nahi jaata. Sab wahan bhagwaan ki marzi se jaate hain." He said recalling Arjun telling this to Nancy once when she lost one of her friends. (Translation: He could not take you. No one goes there on their own will. Everyone goes there by God's will.) He didn't believe in god but to make her understand about the things he told her that everything happens with the permission of God. "Bhagwan? Wahi jinki dadi roz subah pooja karti hain?" She questioned again with a frown on her face. (Translation: God? The one whom Dadi worships every morning?)
He felt so helpless that he wanted to kill himself for being like that. He didn't want Inaayat to marry the monster she was talking about, he wanted a calm, mature and understanding man to marry her who would protect her from the cruel world around her. He himself wanted to marry her off to someone like that but all of his dreams shattered, with each heavy breath of his he was crying that he couldn't do anything for her. He tried to move, to scream, to cry, to beg but couldn't do anything and then everything went still. He felt as if his body was on feathers, lighter than the clouds, he felt as if he was free from the world, free from the responsibilities of each and everything. That day everything shattered, his dreams for his baby girl, his dreams of giving her a better future everything ended and he felt his soul leaving the body still he wished a better future for her even in his absence. He blessed her soul with the core of his heart, he wanted someone to come and save her fro
