Ruhana step in Anamika room and was left shocked to see the scenario before her eyes.. Anamika was burning down her law books which she had bought, few days ago. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Ruhana rushed to her, she snatched the book from her hand.

"Ye kya pagalpan hai" Ruhana shouted, she tried to push her aside as Anamika was standing very close to fire.

"leave me Di" Anamika shouted, struggling to free herself. But Ruahan grip was firm..

"chodo mujhe, main sab jala dungi. Kuch nahi chahiye" she shouted crying..

"Papa - Mumma" Ruhana shouted for her parents as it was being difficult for her to control Anamika..

…

Anil was in his room, sitting on the bed. Lost in the memories of past..

Flashback..

It was the time when Anamika was in second semester.

Anil was in hall, sitting on the sofa sipping his morning tea and reading a newspaper. Shakshi was busy in preparing breakfast. Anamika and Ruhana were in Anamika room. Anamika was holding a book in her hand and was roaming all over the room, reading loudly.. Ruhana was trying to clean the room but wasn't being able to because she (Anamika) was messing up..

"Anu, ek jagah baith ke padh" Ruhana said frustrated

Anamika looked at her "mujhe baith ke yaad nahi hota, aur ye toh itna confusing hai.. Sab mix hoke khichdi ban rahi andar.." she makes faces..

Ruhana laugh, Anamika glare her "hanso nahi"

"okay okay. Sorry. Shanti se baith jaa, mind relax kar aur iss tarah padhna band kar aise laag raha hai jhagda kar rahi hai" Ruhana chuckled..

Anamika sat down on bed closing her book "main relax karti, tab tak aap mera bag, admit card, registration and pen dhundh do na. Pata nahi kidhar hai, mille nahi mujhe" she spoke making innocent face..

"what, Seriously Anu. Abhi tujhe exam dene Jaana Hai aur tune kuch dhundh ke nahi rakha, how irresponsible" Ruhana scolded her..

"meine dhundha nahi mille mujhe, please dhundh do na Di" Anamika make puppy face. Ruhana sighed..

She moved to the study table which was messed up. She clean the table and found Anamika's Admit card, pen and registration card there and her bag was lying under the table.. She arrange her bag and handed her..

"Ye raha tera bag, aab jaa jaldi nahi toh late ho jayegi" Ruhana said.

Anamika stood up, she wore her shoes and marched towards the door. But again run inside, hugged Ruhana from back side. She kissed her cheeks and run out..

"Paagal ladki" Ruhana said smiling..

…

Anamika was standing in the road waiting for taxi, a taxi came and stood in front of her, she smiles.

"Arey waah, aaj toh aapne aap aa gayi. Chalo late bhi nahi hoga aab" she sat down in the taxi and told him the address of her college..

She took out her book and begin reading, after around 15 minutes, she look up from her book and noticed that they're not on the way of her college..

"Arey bhaiya, ye kaunsa raste pe le aaye. Mera college idhar nahi hai, aapne galat turn le liya shayad" Anamika spoke..

"bilkul sahi rasta hai ye" the driver said and grin at her..

Anamika finds it fishy "bhaiya, gadi Roko" she said..

"aab ye gadi wahi rukegi jahan main chahunga" he spoke and laugh, a fear run down Anamika body.. She tried to open the door but it was lock and the windows too.. She bang on the window but couldn't able to break it..

"koi faida nahi, ye darwaza nahi khulna wala.. He turn to her.. Tumhare baap ki wajah se main road pe aa gaya, croreo ki property thi meri aur aaj ye taxi chala raha hoon. Tere baap ki wajah se meri biwi mujhe chod ke chali gayi, meri beti mujh se dur ho gayi. Aaj uss sab ka hisab hoga, aab tumhare baap ko pata chalega kissi apne se dur hone ka kya anjam hota hai "he laugh evilly.

Tears slipped down her cheeks, the taxi moved out of the city towards jungle area..

" please mujhe chod do "she cried..

After some times he stop the taxi and pull her out. He pushed her and she fall on the road.. He took out a big sized knife..

" nooo "Anamika scream in fear, she stood up and begin running shouting for help.. The man run behind her..

" aaye ladki ruk "he shouted, Anamika didn't stop.. The man throw a wooden log, it hit her leg and she fall down. Her head hit a rock, she scream in pain, she tried to stand up but couldn't, her head was bleeding, her legs were paining.. She cried due to pain..

The man reach to her "aab kahan jaayegi" he took hold on her hair and pull her..

"aaaaaaaa, mummaaaaa" she scream in pain..

He was about to step the knife, when some mens passing by show them.. One of them shouted.

He pushed Anamika, she hit on a tree and fall down unconscious.. He ran away..

The mens stop there car and took her to hospital. They informed police about it and the police finding out about her family, informed them about the incident..

Flashback over..

Anil sighed deeply, at the same time he heard Ruhana calling him. He run out of his room.. She moved in Anamika room and was left shocked..

Anamika was struggling to free herself while Ruhana was holding her tight..

Anil moved to them, he tried to hold her but Anamika jerk his hand..

"don't touch me. Aapki wajah se hua sab, jab dekho aap sabse ladte rehte ho aur aapki aisi nature ki wajah se I'm suffering" she shouted over him, Anil pull back his hand.

"Anu shut up" Ruhana said Shakshi scolded her as they knows Anil wasn't in fault.

The man was smuggling drugs, Anil came to know about this and informed to police. Police arrested him and his property was ceased. But this was not known to Anamika..

"no I wouldn't, galti inki thi aur suffer mujhe karna pad raha hai" Anamika shouted pointing to her father, who was by now standing silently, his head bow down..

"Anu chup, tujhe kuch pata nahi. Dad ki koi galti nahi thi" Ruhana tried to explain her..

"nahi inki hi galti thi. Anamika again started blaming Anil for everything.. ye bewajah sabse ladte rehte hai. Inko…her sentence remain incomplete because of a tight slap…

Anamika look at the person in shocked, she didn't expected this to be happen..
