It's completely dark in that eerie midnight. The place was weirdly silent and cold, perhaps the air and the trees know what type of merciless act going to happen there. Tides moved slowly in fear and no other creature is awake to witness it."Rathi!" someone whispered in her ears and Rathi jolted up from her sleep feeling the creepiness in the voice and coolness in the ambiance.

The cold water beneath her thighs doesn't give shivers anymore but Aadhiyan did, the truth that she found out in the morning trembled the life out of her. Her hands slowly caressed over her stomach; she tried not to remind her about how dangerous her husband is; or will he harm this child if she is not here with him or in this world and Rathi felt like this child is going to decide whether she can be alive or not. She slugged down her saliva along with her fear and angst and exhaled slowly standing in the middle of the lake.The sun is shining mildly from the top and the streaming beam of sunshine fell on her half-naked frame. She closed her eyes feeling the mix of warmth and ice.All of a sudden, that familiar warmth and aura bounded her from behind. She became edgy and gasped in fear when Aadhiyan moved her long raven hair to her front side and gave a wet kiss on her nape. Then he encircled his hands

Rathi always believed in God. For her, it doesn't have a proper shape or it belongs to a precise religion or it will only understand a certain language. She once read in a book called The Alchemist that says always believe in one true God. In her confused spirituality whether God exist or not she found it interesting to follow it and believes that God is somewhere hearing all the prayers in this world, he might help some or many people but right now he didn't save Rathi and she couldn't think about that or anything else, as her brain took over by the pain on her skin and everywhere.She closed her eyes and curled hugging her knees on the floor while he whipped her with a rope all over her body except her stomach. Tears drenched her face; gritting her teeth she yelped in pain which dares to pass that room. She begged him so much but he's not Aadhiyan to consider her begging he's someone who wants her to die so what she can do.He stopped when he got that satisf

As the Rain continued in the night the place becomes too cold, her father in law gave sheets and shawls for her to cover and ignited the fire in the inglenook at the center of the wall. After having her dinner, Rathi felt somewhat better but she couldn't fall asleep and sat looking at the Rain through the window beside her."If you kept thinking about what happened, you can never fall sleep?" her father in law commented from the other side of the room sitting on his mattress. He gave his bed for Rathi and he's lying on the floor. She didn't answer him and stared out as it's the truth she's still pondering about that King."You are hating us, aren't you?" he asked that calmly after a moment."You want to hear my answer, then yes, of course, I hate everything here," Rathi said looking at him.
