RAAHII clutched onto my bag tightly and looked at Saksham."I... I don't think it would be a good idea," I muttered.All I could imagine was how Arhaan would react if I brought a male friend home and that scared me. I didn't want to be a hindrance in the relationship between Saksham and his wife."I mean... How would your wife react? I don't want to give rise to a fight between you two," I muttered in an upset done."Oh!" He chuckled.His chuckle made me look at him. I was surprised, why would he even laugh?"I and Mrinal are pretty cool. She wouldn't even mind having friends. I mean, who minds at this time? She knows that I love her and that's enough," he confidently replied.I was surprised. Are relationships like this? His wife wouldn't mind my presence in his life? On the other hand, Arhaan.I gulped as I thought about Arhaan at that time."You know what. It's okay. Take your time to think about our friendship. But, you won't be having time to think about this job. I need immedia
ARHAANFLASHBACKI was waiting for Raahi outside the washroom area of our college but she was taking too long. This girl never wastes a chance to frustrate the shit out of me.I couldn't wait for her anymore, I needed to be with her right then and that's why, I walked towards where the washrooms were. As I entered the space, I spotted Raahi, standing outside the girl's bathroom, I quickly walked towards her just to get shocked.My girl was holding another man's hand and smiling? How the fuck she even dare to look at another man? Doesn't she know that's not how an ideal girl, ideal girlfriend should behave? Does she want to whore around?I immediately stood in front of her and glared at her. She didn't even bother to acknowledge my presence and that angered me much more."What the fuck is happening here?" I growled.Raahi and that guy immediately flinched and turned towards me. She left his hands and the smile on her face disappeared. Why doesn't she smile when she sees me? Why does
RAAHIFLASHBACK"And I will punish him right in front of you."The words of Arhaan made me horrified.I was already in extreme pain due to the torture he had inflicted on me and it made me feel sick to my stomach and miserable, and now, he wanted to punish Saksham?No. I can't let that happen. I can't let Saksham be harmed at any cost. He... He wasn't at any fault.END OF FLASHBACKI walked after Saksham as he walked towards the waiting area to meet Arohi. I was nervous thinking how Arohi will react to him as she never knew I had any friends. It was making me nervous."Hello, little Miss," Saksham muttered as he bent down to face Arohi equally.He had a charming smile on his lips and I couldn't resist looking away from him."Hello," Arohi responded, confused about the person who just greeted her.She looked towards me with her questioning eyes and I slightly nodded."What's your name?" Saksham politely asked."Arohi Awasthi," my daughter answered, a bit scared about the man."Do you k
RAAHI"And do what? Die?" I questioned him.He looked at me with a shocked glance while I monotonously looked at the other side."Why would you say that?" Saksham asked me."Because it was my misery. I had to suffer through that, maybe it was in my destiny and that's why your death wouldn't even matter. It would have only left a black spot in my concise," I replied, looking at him."Raahi. Like I used to tell earlier, destiny is the choices we make," he softly responded."Yes. And I made choices that made my life miserable," I scoffed."Okay. Let's go, Arohi will be waiting for you. I will be talking to my wife about her old house for the rent," he gasped."Thank you," I slightly nodded.And then, both of us walked out of the waiting area.FLASHBACK"Punish...punish him? Why?" I stammered, looking at Arhaan as he looked angry.He suddenly gripped his fingers on my cheeks, pressing it and hurting me more. I hissed in pain but it felt like my pain had no effect on him."He dared to talk
ARHAANFLASHBACKI was torn between feeling ecstatic and angry. I felt the happiest just because finally my Raahi accepted our relationship. But then, I felt angry because she did that just to save this guy from dying. Why does she even care about a guy, if he lives or dies?But I had to take out my anger on her, and I knew the perfect way to do that. She has to fear me and do whatever I say like an obedient little girl. That's what will make her my ideal girl."Strip!" I ordered her.The moment I said that I could see the horror in her eyes. The fear of me that I wanted to see, but apart from that, I also wanted to see something else."Wh... What?" She stammered."Didn't you hear me at the first time? I said strip," I growled in a loud tone.She flinched and then gulped. I was enjoying watching her reactions. It soothed the burning anger in my heart exactly the way I wanted. I couldn't help but smirk at the naive petite looking at me."Do fast, or else, I would kill him," I threatene
ARHAAN"Officer. She has been missing for more than a couple of days. Please find her," I shouted on the phone as I talked to the police officer.I had to find my Raahi, I had to find my daughter. Where could she even go leaving me like this? Has she no idea about the consequences? How could she be so naive?"We're trying to find her. But it seems like she ran away on her own," the officer replied, irking me more."So? Your job is to find her," I scoffed."Not if she has walked away of her own will," he replied."What do you mean?" I asked. I was frustrated at the officer's behaviour."Well, I checked on to your records and whatever I have found out, compels me to not search for her at this moment of time," he spoke."Look. Don't twirl your words like a merry go round. Speak to the point," I sneered."Okay. Fine. After looking at your records, I found out she has filed multiple cases of harassment on you. A couple of them were after your wedding with her. So, I do think, she had no o
RAAHIFLASHBACKI was completely shaken by Arhaan's decision regarding me. He spoke about Mansi's character and as a friend, I should have stood against him. But I couldn't. I was exhausted from fighting for myself, and after whatever happened in the few days, I have decided one thing, I wouldn't fight back. I would not question him or say anything against him. No matter how wrong he was, I gave up and that's why I have decided to accept everything as my fate. I can't fight anymore."You won't be talking to her anymore," he spoke as he kissed on my forehead. I had clenched my fists as that kiss disgusted me but I couldn't say anything. I gulped and closed my eyes tightly."Am I clear?" He asked, staring at me."Yes," I weakly mumbled.He cupped my face and smiled. That smile scared the shit out of me but I couldn't say anything.And then, he caressed my hairs while smiling and I stood still, not even saying a word or doing anything."I don't want to hurt you, Raahi. I don't want to s
RAAHI"Mumma, when will daddy come? I am missing him."Arohi muttered as she munched on the cereal that I had served her. Her words made me worry about the truth that her dad isn't coming here.I remembered the times when Arhaan was a great dad. He used to play with Arohi, take care of her, give her everything that she wanted, basically, if she would have asked, Arhaan could give his life away for her and now, I have separated Arhaan's life from him.Somewhere, I regretted my decision, I felt bad for Arhaan and Arohi. She didn't deserve to be far away from her father, but one thing was for sure, I couldn't let her be another Raahi. "Baby, you are dad's good girl, am I right?" I asked, planting a wide smile on my face."Yes," she innocently replied while nodding."Then, you will have to learn to live like a good girl with Mumma, or else daddy will get angry," I pouted."No," Arohi immediately cried out.I was surprised and I held her hand tightly."Aru? What happened?" I got concerned
