"Sufferings."

~~~~~~

Mallika's POV

I went to police station in the morning and submitted that pendrive to inspector.

Mal: Inspector I surrender myself to justice, I kidnapped a boy and tortured him physically for 8 months. Yesterday I let him go. This pendrive is the proof.

I said in low tone feeling ashamed of myself. My eyes were down.

Ins: Tum ye gunah kyu kubool kar rahi ho?

Mal: His memories haunts me.

My eyes are watering. My heart is beating so fast. His fear filled face flashed in front of my eyes.

Ins: Why did you let him go?

Mal: I have fallen for him.

I said truth. The heat and ache I feel for him.

Ins: Tumhe 3 saal ki jail hogi.

Mal: Mujhe Manzoor hai. Meri 1 request hai.

I requested. My words cracking. 

Ins: Bolo.

Mal: Mere arrest hone ki khabar media mai mat dijiyega

Ins: I will talk to commissioner then only I can proceed.

I nodded. My tears are about to fall. Lady constable put handcuffs in my hands. I was locked in the jail. Di don't know about this.I sighed. She stared the wall with different emotions. My Jaana. I will punish myself for my deeds.

Mallika's POV Over

(A/n: Don't kill me. I know it doesn't works like how I mentioned but please adjust for the story. Also the punishment is less. Cause the ages of characters. See the Character part.)

At Sumedh's Side

All were eating food. Khicdi - porridge because Sumedh was not able to eat Chappati so Shivya cooked porridge. To not to make him feel left out all are eating same.

Shi: Sumi kaisa bana hai?

Sum: Bahut a.. accha hai di.

He forced a smile.

Shi: Sumi mai tujhe jo puchungi tu uska sach sach javab dega?

He looked at her then at dau then at Kinshuk. He looked down and nods.

Bas: Kanha kuch to bol.

His sibling were worried for him because he used to blabber whole day but now he is just nodding and humming.

Sum: Th.. thik hai.

He stammered. 

Bas: Kanha atak ke kyu bol raha hai clear bol.

He looked down. Shivya wrapped her arm around his shoulder to comfort him.

Shi: Pichle 8 mahino se tum kaha the?

Sum: S.. Singhs 507.

He was playing with his fingers.

Shi: Lekin tum to hostel gaye the na humme shuru se sab kuch batao.

She wanted to know the truth from his view.

Sum: D.. di meri shaadi ho chuki hai.

He stopped playing with his fingers and looked up. Everyone got shocked. Even Kinshuk didn't knew it.

Sum: M.. Mallika Singh mafia Queen hai. U.. uska underworld naam QUEEN hai.  M.. mujhe bhi yahi laga tha ki mai hostel ja raha hu par Q.. queen drive kar rahi thi. U.. usne mujhe banduk dikha kar chup rehne ko kaha. V.. vo mujhe apni mansion lekar gayi aur mujhe k.. kuch papers dikhai MARRIAGE PAPERS. Un par mere sign the pata nahi kaise par the.

He gulped a lump formed in his throat.

Sum: Q.. queen mujhe regret karvana chahti thi. U.. sne meri hatya karne ka prayas kiya. U.. usne mujhe h.. hunter/belt se maara kyunki maine usse Queen bulane se mana kiya. U.. usne mujhe force kiya.🥺

He hugs his Basant as he was not able to control his emotions more.

Sum: u.. usne mera rape kiya u.. usne mujhe drug diya.

Trio got shocked.

Sum: U.. usne mujhe baar - baar force kiya. U.. usne mujhse meri aazadi cheen li. M.. mujhe andhkaar mai torture kiya. M.. maine aatmahatya karne ki koshish ki p.. parantu u.. usne mujhe marne nahi diya aur mujhe saza di. Vo m.. mujhe 1 sex slave ki tarah treat karti thi. E.. ek baar usne mera haath ubalte hue p.. pani mai daal diya tha.😭

He sobs while thick tears roll down his cheeks remembering the moment. Shivya held his brunt hand caressing it.

Shi: Abhi dard ho raha hai?

Sum: Bahut jyada di..

He cried more.

Sum: Q.. queen ka ex Sumedh Malhotra m.. mera hamshakal hai. Q.. queen ko usse apna revenge lena tha kyunki u.. usne 7 ladkiyo ki jindagi kharab ki aur illegal kaam kiye. Mai aur unka ex jaise dikhte hai isilye q.. queen ko misunderstanding ho gayi aur usne mujh par.😭

He sobs while breathing heavily.

Sum: Mujh par sharirik atyachar (physical torture) kiye. usne mujhse chakari(work of a slave) karai. mujh par apna krodh vyakt kiya. Unke 1 dost hai Rushi bhaiya vo Q.. queen ka saath dete hai.🥺

Basant hugged him.

Sum: mujhe bahut bhay(fear) lagta tha vaha par. aapki bahut yaad aati thi. M.. mujhe bahut akelapan mehsus hota tha. Mujhe aise ghut ghut ke nahi jeena. M.. mujhe maar daalo m.. mujhe nahi jeena.😭

He cried.

Bas: Kanha marne ki baat karna acchi baat nahi hoti Shaant hoja.

Sum: Mujhe maar do.

He pleaded.

Shi: Sumi Shaant hoja pani pi lo.

He was not in a state to do something he tried to say but he choked. Because of exhaustion he fainted. Shivya and Basant got numb knowing his pain and looked at him. Kinshuk was shocked.

Kin: Sumedh ki age kitni hai?

Shivya glared him.

Shi: 19.

She put his head on her lap caressing it.

Shi: Dau Sumi mai bahut himmat hai usne ye sab 8 mahino tak saha.

Bas: Hmm

He looked at him.

Shi: Dau, mujhe lagta hai ki humme Sumi ko psychologist ko dikhana chahiye, aap khud hi dekho ye kitna dar raha hai, Mujhe to lagta hai ki isse breathing problem bhi hai.

Bas: Tu sahi keh rahi hai mai appointment book karta hu.

Kin: Mai kaam se bahar ja raha hu.

They listened but didn't reply. He sighed and left. Basant came with a blanket and wrapped it on his siblings.

Bas: Mai apna resignation letter submit karva kar aata hu, Apna aur Kanha ka dhyan rakhna.

(A/n: He was working in M.S. Industries. Now he will not work in her company anymore after knowing her.)

Shi: Bye dau jaldi aana.

Bas: Bye.

~~~~~~

At 4:00 PM.

Sumedh woke up and jolted up realizing he is in a lap of girl. Shivya also woke up.

Shi: Kya hua Sumi?

Sum: K.. kuch nahi.

He sat straight and yawned. He rested his head on her shoulder.

Shi: Kuch khaega?

He nodded in no snuggling to her. She smiled and caress his curls.

Sum: Di dau kaha gaye hai?

He asked softly.

Shi: Kuch kaam se gaye hai jaldi aa jayenge.

Sum: Di aap konse year mai ho?

Shi: Mera to result bhi aa gaya maine job ke liye interview bhi de diya hai.

Sum: Accha.

Shi: Mujhe to bhuk lagi hai mai kuch bana kar aati hu.

Sum: M.. mai bhi help karu?

Shi: Tujhje khana banana aata hai?

He nodded.

Sum: Mujhe M.. monica di ne sikhaya m.. maine unse request ki thi.

Shi: Accha.

Both went in kitchen.

~~~~~~

At 7:00 PM.

Kinshuk and Basant came. Sumedh came to Basant.

Sum: Dau maine aapko bahut miss kiya.

Bas: Maine bhi.

He kissed on his forehead. Shivya came there.

Bas: Shivi, Ishita ka accident ho gaya hai mujhe jana hoga.

Sum: Ishita di? Bua ji ki beti?

Bas: Hmm.

Shi: Aap khana kha lo Sumi ne banaya hai mai packing kar deti hu.

He went to get get fresh while Sumedh helped Shivya in her chores. Kinshuk silently went to his room.

~~~~~~

At 9:00 PM.

Basant was going to leave Sumedh hugs him.

Sum: Jaldi aana.

He rested his head on his chest.

Bas: Mai kal shaam tak aane ki koshish karunga.

He looked at Shivya and gestured her to come near him. She hugs him.

Bas: Khayal rakhna, Bye.

He went.

Shi: Chal Sumi raat ho gayi hai sone chalte hai.

He nodded and held her hand. Both went upstairs.

~~~~~~

At 11 PM

Shivya woke up because of her phone ringing.

Shi: Hello.

Bas: hello Shivi.

Shi: Haanji Dau aap pahunch gaye?

Bas: Haa yahi batane ke liye phone kiya tha, Kanha so gaya?

Shi: Haanji Dau.

Bas: apna khayal rakhna.

Shi: Bye dau.

She yawns.

Bas: Bye.

Call Cut

She turned her side and saw Sumedh was squirming. She patted his cheeks to wake him.

Shi: Sumi kya hua?

He was changing his position. She held his hand. He woke up.

Sum: Di.

He was panting.

Shi: Ha Sumi bol.

Sum: Mera haath pakdiye na.

He was not able to speak clearly. She grabbed his hand. 

Shi: Sumi kya baat hai? Kuch chahiye?

Sum: Di bahut ajeeb sa lag raha hai puri body dis-balanced lag rahi hai.

He started coughing.

Shi: Mai yahi hu Sumi tu deep breathes le.

She was very tensed. She hugged him. He was continuously changing his position.

Sum: D.. di.

Shi: Sumi aisa mat kar. Shaant hoja. Kya hua? Kya takleef ho rahi hai?

Sum: Ajeeb sa lag raha hai. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha kaise bolu.

He was panting.

Shi: Chakkar aa rahi hai kya?

Sum: Pata nahi.

Suddenly he felt something in his stomach. He started crying.

Sum: Di mujhe.. mujhe khada hona hai.😭

She helped him to stand. She took him near washroom as his wish. Her eyes widened in shock seeing him vomiting blood.

(A/n: Shivya has HEMOPHOBIA, fear of blood. Period blood isn't as bothersome or triggering to her because it often has a different color, texture, and smell than blood that comes from other parts of the body. So, she doesn't get scared of period blood.)

She screamed. Kinshuk came there running. He saw her crying in fear.

Kin: Shivu kya hua ro kyu rahi ho?

For a moment he forgot everything and cared for his love.

Shi: Khoon.. khoon.. Sumi. Mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai. khoon sumi.😣

Kin: Shh shaant. Shivu tumhe Sumedh ke liye strong rehna hoga. Sumedh kaha hai?

Shi: Washroom.

Kin: Tum shaant hojao Sumedh ko kuch nahi hoga.

He went in washroom and got shocked seeing the sight in front of him. He helped him to clean and make balance. He took him in and made him sit on the carpet again near his di. He put his head on her chest while crying and panting.

Suddenly he started screaming in pain.

Shi: Sumi kya hua baccha?

Sum: Pet mai peedha ho raha hai.

Shi: Aise nahi rote Sumi. Kuch nahi hoga. Thik ho jayega.

Kinshuk made him lay down properly in her lap.

Shi: Sumi chup hoja aise nahi rote. Dard aur badh jayega.

Kin: Shivu oil rub karo dard kam ho jayega

Shi: Niche almirah ke last shelf par coconut oil rakha hai vo halki aanch (low flame) par melt kar lao.

Kinshuk went.

Shi: Shh shant.

She caressed his forehead while he was crying. Kinshuk came with oil. She dipped her fingers in oil and rubs his lower abdomen slowly.

Sum: Ahhhhhhhh! Di touch mat karo bahut dard ho raha hai.😰

Shi: Sumi thoda sa dard seh le abhi kam ho jayega.

She again rubs it. He clutched her dress tightly in pain.

Sum: Di aisa lag raha hai ki mai aaj hi mar jaunga.😥

Shi: Sumi aisa nahi kehte dard kam ho jayega.

He kept on screaming in pain. After few minutes he slowly got calm and hugs her.

Shi: Shaant ho ja Sumi.

She caressed his hairs. He slept snuggling to her. She wiped her tears and looked at Kinshuk. Both fell in an awkward silence.

Shi: Thank you Kinshuk.

Kin: Mai chalta hu raat bahut ho gayi hai ab tum bhi soo jao. Mujhe bulana agar koi problem ho to.

Shi: Hmm Good night.

Kin: Good night.

He went. She laid down and covered them with duvet and slept.
