“Surrounded By Darkness”

In Gomti Sadan
In Room No # 5 (Khushi’s Room)
After Praying for Her beloved Ones, when Her Eyes were closed, She didn’t know. Then after conversing with Armaan, Payal came in Her Room, seeing Khushi sleeping like this, Her & whole Family’s Innocent Baby She smiled. Walking towards Her, She adjusted Her Pillows and then make Her lay properly on Bed and Pillows under Her Head and tucking Her Baby Hairs behind Her Ears, She kisses on Her forhead. Unfold Comforter and places it on Her. Then walked to Her Ward-Robe taking out Luggage Bag and taking Her out all Dresses, Shoes, Sandals & Inners and packed them in a Luggage. Then walked to Her Room so that She could also Pack Her Bags for tomorrow’s Journey.

Meanwhile Khushi who was sleeping Peacefully had again Dreamt or Nightmare which had turned Her Life Upside and Down, and Remembering it still She feels that it just happened now.

***BE AWARE VIOLENCE IS AHEAD***

DREAM (From Khushi’s POV & Third POV)

DATED= 2001, September 28

In Mumbai
In Agnihotri’s House
In Dinning Room
After a Yesterday tiring Outing but it was worth it since everyone enjoyed alot. Outing or approximately 10 to 11 Hours. First Breakfast near Seaside Restaurant so that one could enjoy Beautiful View, watch Animated Movie “The Lion King III” in Cinepax, Lunch at Famous “Mumbai Street Food”, Amusement Park and last but not the least Dinner at Food Court after shopping & window shopping at “Falcon Mall”.
After yesterday’s tiring Outing all were so exhausted that after reaching Home all went in their BedRoom in a blink.
Now waking up little Late as everyone were so tired. Shlok (Khushi’s Father), Arnav, Padma (Arnav’s Caretaker) thrio were sitting at Dining Room. Soon Khushi with Khan Baba (Servant) came from the Kitchen and set the Table. Since Khushi is so small so Shlok never let Cook or Bake and left Khan Baba always with Her so that She can help Him. Today was the same Day also.
4 were having their Breakfast and also discusses about Last Day how much all enjoyed.

Then,

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Shlok: Is waqt itni Subha kon hosakhta? Mein dekhta hoon.

[Shlok: Who it could be here in the Morning? I should open the Door.]

(After saying this as He was about to stand up to open the Door to that He was Interrupted.)

Khushi (Smilingly): Papa Aap bait jaho aur Mujhe dekhne dijiye.
Shlok (Smilingly): Theek hai Beta lakin khyal se poch kar kholna.
Khushi: Jiii.

[Khushi (Smilingly): Papa you sit down and give Me the Honours to check.
Shlok (Smilingly): Okay Beta but carefully and after asking only Open the Door.
Khushi: Jii.]

(After saying this Khushi stood up and walked towards the Door not Knowing what is Bound to Happen. Which would change their Entire Life. She asked who is at the Door. And listening.)

Person: Arnav Malick haan yahan par? Unse milne keh liye uska Cousin “Shyam” aur Chachu “Abhinav” aye hain.
Khushi (Smilingly): Ji jiii Annav yahai par hain. Abhi khulti hoon.

[Person: Is Arnav Malick here? To meet him, his Cousin “Shyam” and Chachu “Abhinav” came here.
Khushi (Smilingly): Yesss Annav is here. I just open the Door.]

(Saying it She opened the Door by twisting the Door Knob and sees One Young Man alongwith 5 Other Men. Seeing them She thought 4 of them might be Body-Guards as She has heard from Her Father that Her Annav belongs from an Influential Family. Then Khushi welcomed them through Her Warm Gesture but none of them reciprocated it. Infact One Elder Person of them pushed Her.

Meanwhile hearing all Silence it made Shlok, Arnav & Padma confused so leaving their Breakfast aside, They walked to Main Hall and sees One Person pushed Her on the floor and this made Shlok & Arnav furious. Then Shlok walked towards those Persons to seek the Answers that Who they are and how they Dare to Push His Daughter. While after seen Khushi pushed on the Floor Arnav was so Furious but one Look at 2 Persons He was confused.)

Arnav: Mujhe asa kyun lagta hai keh janta pechanta hoon Mein inhe? Kyun Mujhe andar se koi feeling arahi hai keh bht kuch galat hone wale hai? Kyun Mujhe lagta hai janta hoon Mein inhe aur kahai dekha hai Mene inhe lakin kahan? Arnav socho. Sochoo.

[Arnav: Why do I feel as if I know them? Why do My Six sense is telling that something is really going to happen worst? Why do I feel as if I know them and have seen them somewhere but where? Arnav think. Think.]

(After saying this to Himself Arnav closed his Eyes and with all his might He tries to Remember Them. But it’s all in Vain. After taking much time to remember them in a Flash He open His Eyes Fearingly. And was hell worried, shocked and scared.)

Arnav: Nahi asa nahi hosakhta.

[Arnav: Nooo it can’t be.]

(Then in a Flash He heard Screams of Khushi, Shlok and Padma Screaming for their Lives. He saw His Aunt, Padma and Khushi’s Daddy or Papa, Shlok were Shot and now are lying on Floor like Lifeless Body.
But before He could anything His WORLD GOT SHAKEN with the amount of Pain He felt and endured. Next Seconds, He saw one of them Firing at Shlok and one at Padma. And then He sees Khushi with Red Cheeks & bruised Lips after been slapped. Says angrily with Her Teary Eyes.)

Khushi: Aap log bht bure hain aur bht Evil hain. Sharam nahi ati Aap logo ko is tarhan se Jaanain lete hue. Shayid nahi ati hogi tabhi toh kiya hai Aap ne lakin Yaad rakhyega ek Din Qayamat keh din Aap sab logo ko Saza milegi aur Aap logo ko barhi si Karahi main Garam tal main khub Fry karainge.

[Khushi: You all Uncles are very Bad and very Evil. Don’t You Peoples feel Ashamed by taking Lives. Maybe You aren’t that’s why You all done this but remember One Day on the “Day of Judgement” You all peoples will be punished and will be fried in Huge Karahi in Hot Oil.]

(As Khushi says this , all Men laughed at Her especially Abhinav who is Head of those Five-Men and Shyam who is in Second in Command. Then.)

Abhinav: Hum samj gaye aur yakeen mano Humain bht Maza karainge bhi. Lakin us waqt us Maze se zyada Humain ab maza ane wala hai yeh sochkar Tumare saath Hum kya karne wale hain.

[Abhinav: Okay Dear We understood it and Trust Me We would definitely enjoy that. But apart from that Time, We would enjoy this alot after thinking what is coming towards You.]

(Saying this Abhinav took few Steps towards Her and due to fear Khushi took steps backwards. And two Men came to Khushi from different directions scaring Her more. Then out of nowhere all heard Angrily voice of Arnav.)

Arnav: Khabardar Abhinav uski taraf ek Qadam bhi barhaya toh. Tum aur Tumara Bhai Avinash dono, Bhai, Chachu aur Family Member keh naam par ek daba ho. (Pause) Mein janta hoon yahan kya karne ho, Mujhe lene na aur Property Papers par sign karne. Hai na? Toh theek hai Mein chalne ko taiyar hoon aur jitni bhi Property Dad ne, Dada aur Nana ne Mere naam par ki sab Tumare Naam par kardonga lakin in sab main churdo usey.

[Arnav: Dare You Abhinav to take Steps towards Her. Both You and Your Bhai (Avinash) are Stains in name of Brother, Uncle and as a Family Member. (Pause) I know for what You came here for, to take Me and to Sign on Property Papers. Am I right? Alright I’m ready to go with You and also to Sign on Property Papers which Dad and My Grandfathers had transferred on My Name, I would transfer all of it but in all this leave Her.]

(Listening this both Abhinav & Shyam looked at each other and laughed hysterically. Then ignoring Khushi who was now kept on hold by 2 Men, Abhinav walked to Arnav.)

Abhinav: Mana parhega jo Arnav Malick kisi keh agaye jhukna nahi seekha aur Apni man mani karta raha. Kisi ya phr Mere aur Mere Bhai Avinash ki kabhi Izat nahi karhi. Aur bht guroor tha na tujhe apne Aap par keh Mein yeh karsakhta hoon woh karsakhta hoon aur Apni jahidat par toh aj kya hogaya. Wohi Arnav Malick kabhi na jhukne wala, kabhi na Meri Baat mane wala aur Sher ki dharta tha woh aj Bhiga Bila kaise bangaya aur kaise kehra hai “Mein Taiyar hoon chalne keh liye aur dastakat karne keh liye”. Mana parhega kya jaadu kiya hai is Nani si Jadoogarni ne…

[Abhinav: Must say that Arnav Malick who never learnt to Bow infront of anyone and does as He desires. Never Respected anyone or on Me and My Bhai Avinash. And You were so Proud on Yourself that I can do this & that and on Your Property so what happened today. Same Arnav Malick who never desired to Bow infront, who never listened to My Words and who Roars like a Lion how can He became Weak as Cat & is saying “I’m Ready to come & ready to Sign on Property Papers”  today.  Must say which cast is spelled on You by that Little Nymph. ]

(Saying this Abhinav turned at Khushi and looks at Lustfully that Arnav who was already angered now His Anger raise to extreme limits after seeing His inappropriate way seeing to His Khush. And in seconds, He ran to Abhinav and quickly grabbed His Collar.)

Arnav: Abhinav khabardar jo Tune Meri Khush ko ase dekha ya uske barema kuch galat socha warna kisi bhi Rishte ka lahaz kiye bagir tujhe yahai Zinda gardonga.

[Arnav: Abhinav dare You see My Khush like this or think about something wrong so without thinking about Our Relationship I would Bury You alive right here.]

(Listening this Abhinav again laughed then signalled His other 2 Men and they quickly loosened Arnav’s fist from Abhinav’s Collar and caught Him. And Abhinav after releasing from Arnav’s Tight hold He flexed His Neck and fist & unfist & fisting His Palm He quickly punched Arnav’s Right side Cheek and due to the intensity soon Blood came out and His Face turned to Left side.

Seeing all the Commotion Khushi feared for loosing Her Best Friend Annav and screamed.)

Khushi: Annavvv…!

(But ignoring Her Abhinav continued to punch Arnav and poor Arnav couldn’t able to fight as He was in hold of 2 Men who are very strong compared to Him plus he was not as strong as they were after all he was not Adult yet.)

Abhinav (Angrily): Tu Mujhe Zinda garhega? Haannn?  Teri toh Mein. Teri wajase Mujhe kya kuch nahi suna parha Bhai (Avinash) se. Tu toh gayab hogaya tha lakin Muskilain Meri barh gayi thi. Tu yahan agaya aur kya laga tha tujhe Tu bach jayega Mujh se? Haan?

[Abhinav (Angrily): You will Bury Me alive? Haan? You. Just because of You what had I not listened from Bhai (Avinash). You just disappeared but Your disappearance increased My miseries. You came here and what You thought You will be saved from Me? Haan?]

(Saying this He clutched Arnav’s Hairs tightly giving Him Pains and also punched Him sometimes on His Face, His Chest. And poor Arnav He couldn’t even fight back firstly He was in hold and secondly if He tries to fight back then it would create more problems for His Khush which He can never tolerate.

Hurting Arnav session continued some more till He hasn’t any strength left behind. His Face held bruises, T-shirt contains Blood Stains and Blood coming out from His Mouth still He continues to plead more.)

Arnav: Tumari Nafrat aur Dushmani Mujhse hai. Mujhe mar dal kar apna badal pura karlo lakin churdo Meri Khush ko. Woh bht Masoom hai. Uska kuch lena dena nahi hai is Mamle se.

[Arnav: You feels hatred for me and I am your Enemy so kill me and avenge Yourself but leave My Khush. She is very Innocent & Naive. She has nothing to do with all this.]

(Saying this weakly. Abhinav again clutched Arnav’s Hairs tightly and extend His Head.)

Abhinav: Kaise lena dena nahi hai uska in sab se? Zaroor hai aur bht barha wala kyuke woh Tumare liye maniye rakhti hai bht maniye. Tujhe jitna marloon lakin kuch din bad Tu theek hojahoge lakin agar Mene War Khush opps Teri Khush par kiya toh Teri Rooh ko chut lagegi hamesha keh liye. Aur woh Mein nahi miss karsakhta. Teri jaan chur kar teri Rooh par War karne se jo mujhe sukoon milega woh Anmol hai Mere liye.

[Abhinav: How isn’t She has nothing to do with all this? Surely it is and on extreme level because She matters to You alot. How much I hurt You still You will be healed but if I attacked on Khush opps on Your Khush then Your Soul will be bruised forever. And I can’t miss that. Leaving your life behind, attacking on your Soul will bring lots of Peace to Me which is very much important for me.]

(Fearing for His Khush, He lied.)

Arnav: Nahi Abhinav yeh Sach nahi hai. Khush Mere liye koi maniye nahi rakhti aur na hi Mujhe uski koi Fikar hai. Tumne uske Papa ko toh cheen liya ab kya reh gaya. Aur jab Mein Tumare saath chalne ko taiyar hoon toh uske saath kuch karne ka maqsad nahi banta.
Abhinav: Bewakoo samjta hai kya tu mujhe ya Mere mate par likha hai keh Bewakoof hoon Mein? Nahi na? Tujhe lagta hai keh usey bachane keh liye tu Mujh se jhoot bolega aur Mein Maan jahonga? Nahhii… Agar Tujhe uski zara si bhi fikar nahi hoti aur agar maniye nahi rakhti toh Tujh jaisa behtereen Martial Arts ka Student ase mar nahi kheta Mujhse. Ushe bachane keh liye Tu yeh sab bardash kar raha hai na? Hai na?

[Arnav: No Abhinav it isn’t true. Khush doesn’t matter to Me nor I care about Her. You snatched Her Father figure from Her so what is left now. And now when I’m ready to come so it doesn’t mean to cause any Harm to Her.
Abhinav: Do You take Me as an Idiot or its written on my Forhead me being as an Idiot? No? You think by speaking lies to Me You can Save Her from Me? No. If You didn’t Care about Her abit and if She doesn’t mattered to You a little bit then Excellent Student like You in Martial Arts would have fought with Me not like this getting hurt by Me. To Save Her You are enduring all this? Right?] 

(Listening to this Arnav still nodded in No. But Abhinav was done yet and now listening to His Lies, His Anger raise more that He gives some more Punches to Him earning more Painful “Aahhhs” from Arnav and pleadings from Khushi. Then He quickly He took out His Revolver and was about to press the Trigger that suddenly Flower Vase hit His Face making His forhead bruised.

Meanwhile on otherhand Khushi seeing Her Annav being tortured like this, She cried, She pleaded, She requests, She screamed but it went to all deaf Ears. Then seeing Abhinav taking Revolver, aimed at Arnav and was about to press the Trigger that Khushi diverting One Men direction and His hold on Her wrist became loosened so taking that Opportunity and seeing Flower Vase nearby quickly taking it and aimed at Abhinav hurting Him. Making Him more Angry and He quickly signalled Shyam and Men to look at Her.

Seeing Khushi’s attempt to Save Him, Arnav’s Fear for His Khush grew more. He knew now He need to react more than ever. Seeing Abhinav’s attention directed towards Her & signalling His Men He gained all His remaining strength and immediately kneeled down and taking same Flower Vase which hit Abhinav. With it He jerked it on those 2 Men who was least attentive towards Arnav and with few Tricks He knocked them down. Catching Abhinav’s attention back to Him but before He could react He was knocked down by Arnav.
Seeing now Arnav saving Himself She felt Happy but it was short-lived as Shyam who was about to take off Her Dupatta that after Arnav freeing Himself & knocking those 2 Men & Abhinav was about to come towards Her to Save Her that immediately someone or another Person of 2 Men started hitting Him for thrice time on His Head with a log which made Him standstill and slowly slowly Blood drops started to drop on Floor by His Head. When 2 Men left Him, He immediately landed on Floor. Give Him kicks but didn’t received His Painful screams like earlier. His whole Body got Numbed, His Vision got blurred, couldn’t able to scream it was like His whole Body Systems got Shut down. His brain didn’t had the usual energy to react. In fact his brain also got numb like his whole body.

Seeing those 2 Men who were earlier holding Her now moved towards Her Annav and started hitting Him & Kicking Him. And now didn’t see Him responding or reacting to any of it. Seeing all of it, She screamed at Arnav to wake up & to react but it felt it went to deaf Ears. His Senses were very Weak but in all this His all Motor Control was lost. He can sees, listens and feels but can’t put it into words or react. And on otherhand seeing this Shyam smirked evilly as work became more easy. And then He places His hand on Khushi’s Mouth so that She couldn’t scream more. Not wanting to give a chance to do against Him so without wasting single seconds He mercilessly tore all Her Clothes and started to Rape Her and Huge screams which was now muffled by another Men and Her hands were holded by another Men. Listening Her Muffled Screams, crying and Her helpless condition those 2 Men laughed seeing horrendous Crime infront of their Eyes Not realizing the Truth that Khushi was not a Mature Person but a Child. And Raping a Child is the most horrendous Crime.

While Khushi was being the Victim of Merciless Torture and there lying Arnav’s eyes were Crying, trying all His Courage and Energy to move His Limbs but couldn’t able to. His Eyes were Red-Bloodshot and soon Darkness were welcoming Him but still He was trying all his Might then soon after again numerous attempt He stood up with Sharp Shooting Pain in His Head and was about to fall again on Floor that He took support from nearby Table and walked Stumblingly. With Extreme Anger.)

Arnav: Leave My Khush, You bastards.

(Listening it 2 Men walked to Arnav and caught Him tightly, using his all remain energy as His Khush’s image isn’t leaving his mind and he started to hit & kick those 2 Men but it was very weak just like His Body has became & it doesn’t hurt them abit still He was saying to leave His Khush and Shyam was nowhere to leave Khushi yet as was done with Her Upper body & hasn’t yet entered Her. Soon He entered in Her and again all were welcomed by Her Painful screams. While listening to painful screams of His Khush, Arnav’s body became standstill and he was rooted on the spot. And quickly he was about to go to her to save her but he was never an opportunity as once again his body got hit by log on his knees making him fall on the floor by those Men. Those Men begin to torture his body and bearing all the pain, he started to crawl towards his Khush but he never got chance to save her from. Shyam who was well aware of his deeds proudly smirked
seeing His cousin’s bloody body but what amused him that being wounded from all places, he never back down. Shyam ordered his Men to hold Arnav till he doesn’t wound Arnav’s Soul brutally meaning fully destroying their Love which might blossom in future. But He being evil will never let that happen. Will never let his cousin Arnav NORMAL after all this. Because NORMAL Arnav means problem. So he decided to strike the place from where Arnav will never get over with. Meaning destroying His Young & Innocent Love and making him see that how well His Love is getting destroyed by his evil hands. And that would be Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone. Shyam’s Men who know by their heart to follow their boss’s order and didn’t let Arnav to reach his love in what way that suits them. While Shyam who was continuously hearing pleas, requests & begs doesn’t leave Khushi from snatching her dignity. Whereas Khushi who by now has stopped screaming as She went unconscious due to feeling such painful torture her body had underwent but her closed eyes never stopped shedding because Her unconscious mind was still feeling what her body is going through and once Shyam was fully satisfied with His Work. He threw Khushi’s lifeless body with newly marks given by Him. Threw Her on Chair and then after it He put His Revolver in Air Then.)

DISHKIYAOONNN ... DISHKIYAOOONNN…

(As Arnav heard it He looked infront and sees Shyam had pointed His Revolver in Air and now pointing at Khushi making His Eyes widen. And in Seconds She was shot near Her Stomach from Front. Due to the intensity of gun-shot so dur to Reflex Khushi fall on Floor. Next Shyam pointed His Revolver to Khushi’s Spine and Arnav was Crying, pleading, requesting and begging but He was nowhere to listen and Shot Twice over Her Spine, near Her Lumbar Vertebrae (from where Nerves which Innervates Lower Limb is coming out from its Root from Spinal Cord). Then Shyam hold large wooden Stick and hit it on Arnav’s back due to which He Kneeled down and now He was free from those Men’s hold and instantly started crawling or rather dragged his wounded body towards his Khush leaving Blood on the floor because of his body being dragged.

While seeing it all this those Men were laughing and sees still much Injured Arnav was dragging his body towards His Khush. Next, He tried to touch His Khush’s pale body void of clothes so quickly He took off His bloody shirt and made Her wear it then immediately hugged Her making Shyam Angry, and in the next Seconds He took wooden Stick from His Men and started hitting Arnav which was actually for Khushi as Arnav was covering Her, So He got been Hit. And then He heard His Khush was taking large Gaps of Oxygen but was failing miserably.)

Khushi: Annn...aaavvvvvvv.....

(She has said only this, and then She fell into Darkness completely.)

Arnav (Crying): Nooo...

 
(And then He was Shyam separated Him away from Khushi and give Him Huge Blow by Wooden stick on His head that now Blood started to come fastly from His Hairs & Ears and slowly slowly He was also losing His consciousness to never wake up. He remembered all the Moments He Lived with His Khush. Seeing Khushi’s Body lying on the floor, tears continuously started coming out from His Eyes. And says with all the Pain.) 

Arnav: I Love You Princess...!!! Mujhe Maaf kardena keh Mein tumhe in Janwaro se bacha nahi paya. Mein bhi araha hoon Tumare peche.

[Arnav: I Love You Princess...!!! Please forgive Me as I couldn’t able to save You from those Beasts. I’m also coming behind You.]

(Saying this He too closed his Eyes and then all things went Black and Numb and Shyam and 2 Men was about to take Unconscious Arnav that They heard Siren of Police Car & Ambulance which made Them shivered and immediately ran from there.)

DREAM ENDS

[Note:
Khushi remembers it but failed to remember Arnav and failed to see Arnav.
Sometimes Our Brain is so traumatized that it blocks some events. So likewise after what happened, her brain blocked remembering him or and seeing Him clearly… She sees there was a Person in a Negative effect.]

(As Khushi was seeing this Nightmare which She had already experienced and Her whole Body started to get Sweaty and Shiver. She was moving Her Limbs to Save Herself from those Beasts. And in No Time, She screamed making everyone to Rushed to Her Room. Seeing Her having these Kinds of Attacks, everybody had a Doubt might be She had became a Victim of a horrendous Crime and when Her Counsellor had tried to talk about it, She received was All SILENCE from Khushi. No sign of any words, no cries and certainly no Paleness nothing at all.
After seeing Khushi like this, Dr. Neha who is Family Doctor comes to Khushi and immediately Injected Her to Calm Her Nerves down and to make Her Sleep. And with effect of Injection, Her Behaviour slowly slowly lessened down. Then everybody walked from there except Guptas. And Garima with a crying voice.)

Garima: Neha kab Meri Khushi yeh sab bhool payegi?
Neha: Mujhe nahi pta Garima Aunty. Lakin Khushi ki asi halat ko har waqt dekhte hue yeh saaf zahir hai uske saath bura galat hua hai. Barbar un Palo ko Yaad karke kam Takleef de nahi hai jo usne Saha hai. Uski jo halat hai, Humari Medicines (Sedatives) kuch dhr tak usey araam toh desakhti hain lakin sirf kuch pal keh liye. Jo hua uske saath woh uske dimag main bait gaya aur yeh hi waja hai keh itna asaan hai uske liye barbar un palo ko yaad karna. (Pause) Ab tak toh uski Therapy rang le hi ati lakin Khushi ko ase dekhte hue lagta hai woh Therapy kahai se bhi uske kam nahi arahi.
Payal (with Teary Eyes): Toh ab Humain kya karna chaiye?
Neha: Badalti Jagaha uske kuch kam asakhti hai. Aur Khushi ki halat ko dekhte hue aur uski Zeheniyat ko kamzor din bar din dekhte hue Mujhe ache baat ka saboot nahi derahi. Usey uske Past se jitna door rakha jaye aur ase cheezo se jisey dekhkar usey Dar lagta ho. Yeh Attack usey 2 din bad aya hai. Hai na? Aur uski History ko dekhte hue usey Attacks tab hi ate hain jab kuch bht barha hua ho aur usey Parso bhi aya tha jab usne kuch asi cheez dekhi toh usey Attack aya. Aur ab yeh.
Armaan (with Teary Eyes): Hum isey kaise rokh sakhte hain Neha?
Neha (Sadly): Aise Cases main Psychiatrists, Psychologists aur Counsellor madat karsakhte hain. Cure ho bhi sakhta aur nahi bhi lakin kaise sambhalna yeh pta chal jayega. Lakin Khushi ko dekhte hue Mujhe us main 1 % Improvement bhi nahi dekhi is Counselling Therapy Sessions se. Lakin Mein ek Advice desakhti hoon, usey Delhi le jayain aur wahan kisi ache Psychiatrist ko dekha dain aur uska elaj karwayain wahai aur yaad rakhiyega FEMALE se.

[Garima: Neha, when My Khushi will forget all of it?
Neha: I don’t know Garima Aunty. But seeing Khushi’s this Condition everytime its all clear that She had became the Victim of horrendous Crime.  Remembering that everytime is no Less then Painful to what She had endured. In which Condition She is in, Our Medicines (Sedatives) would give Her relieve but just for sometime. What She had gone through it traumatized Her and this is the Reason that its easy for Her Brain to Recall those Moment again & again. (Pause) By now Her Therapy should have been brought Results but seeing Khushi like this it seems nowhere that Therapy is working on Her.
Payal (with Teary Eyes): Then what We should do?
Neha: Changing Atmosphere will help Her bit. And looking at Khushi’s Condition and seeing Her Mentally weak Day by Day it is not giving Me Good Vibes. Make Her stay away as much as away from Her Past and Things from which She is Frightened of. And She got this Attack after 2 Days. Right? Looking at Her History She get Attacks after major Thing happened and Day before Yesterday as She had seen something which caused to have attack. And now this.
Armaan (with Teary Eyes): How could We prevent it Neha?
Neha (Sadly): For this Type of Cases, Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Counsellors can help. There might be cured or not but it would definitely be Managed. But looking at Khushi, She is nowhere to get 1 % Improvement by this Counselling Therapy Sessions. But I can give You advice that Take Her to Delhi and get Her examined with Psychiatrist and get Her Treated there itself and remember one thing FEMALE ONE.]

(As Neha said it, everyone (Guptas) nodded. And Step by Step everyone Kissing on Khushi’s forhead left. Not knowing what will happen Next will surely not bring Good News.)

***********************

In Sheesh Mahal
In Arnav’s Room
After talking with Rohan and thinking about His Past Memories He got disturbed when He heard a KNOCK raising His temper. Then turn around and was about to lash His Anger out that He sees Parent standing near the Door making His Anger vanish. And about to say what They are doing here that He sees them taking Steps towards Him and His Maa cupped His Cheeks and.

Ratna: Kaise ho Chottey?
Arnav: Zinda hoon Maa abhi tak jo kuch dekha bardash karne keh bad bhi.

[Ratna: Chottey how are You?
Arnav: Maa I’m Alive still after what I have endured.]

(Saying it in Nonsense Tone made Ratna-Arvind made Their Eyes Teary, as whenever They asked Him, in Reply They have to heard this few Words Sentence. Neither He had ever Opened up nor He had seek any help. He has been since like this when He had Opened His Eyes in Hospital. Whereas on the other hand, Arnav seeing His Parent's Eyes Teary, He closed His Eyes and then Open it up.)

Arnav: Aap dono yahan kya karhe hain?
Arvind: Hum Tumse milne aye hain aur apne Bache ka Fashion Show dekhne aye hain.
Arnav: Toh phr PLEASE dekhiye. Aur Mujhe akela chur dain. PLEASE.

[Arnav: What are You both doing here?
Arvind: We came to Meet You and to Attend My Son’s Fashion Show.
Arnav: Then PLEASE watch it. And leave me alone. PLEASE.]

(After saying this Arnav took off Ratna’s hands from His Cheeks and walked from there leaving His Mother to Cry. Ratna started to Cry again seeing Her Beloved Son again distancing Himself from them and Arvind was Trying to Console Her when His Own Eyes were Teary.)

Ratna: Arvind Mujhe Mera woh hi wala Chottey kabhi wapas milega? Arvind Mein ab aur apne Chottey ko ase nahi dekh sakhti. (Grabbing His Collar) Arvind Mujhe Mera Chottey wapas chaiye. Mujhe wapas chaiye. Humare Chottey ko Humari madat ki zaroorat hai toh kyun nahi leta Hum se? Arvind please kuch karho Mein ab aur usey ase nahi dekhsakhti. Nahi dekhsakhti.

[Ratna: Arvind would I ever get My that  Chottey back? Arvind I can’t see My Chottey like this anymore. (Grabbing His Collar) Arvind I want My Chottey back. I want Him back.  Our Chottey needs Our Help but then whyy He doesn’t take Help from Us? Arvind please do Something I can’t see Him anymore like this. I can’t.]

(Ratna was continuously saying it and sametime Crying also. And Arvind was just trying His Best to console Her not through His Words but through His Silent support as He doesn’t know what to Reply, what to say, what to do and how to handle the Situation or His Son who has gone very far away from them. He had already Confronted Aman fully knowing Aman is Near to His Son, but Confronting Aman did no Help to Him as He was equally hopeless in this Matter. But was Happy that He had consulted Psychologist to help Him and how it turned out & what Psychologist said made Him very much upset & distressed that His Son is so vulnerable & isn’t in Good shape.)

On Terrace
After behaving in that way with His Parent Arnav straightly came to Terrace. He is feeling Guilty but what He could, would or should do, He doesn’t know anything.
Since after that Dreadful Incident and when He had opened His Eyes after 3 Years of that Incident & got to know about His fluctuating Health. Since then He has been this much Messed up.
After that He Lives alone so that none could Hear His Screams daily every Night for not been able to save His Khush from that Horrendous Crime and was unable to stop Her from Leaving Him. Every Night He remembered that FLASHBACK bringing much much Worst form of Him. And now remembering how He had left His Parents like that, He is feeling guilty and Teary as He knows aftermath of it that They would be Crying. And with Teary Voice.

Arnav: I’m sorry Maama Papa. I’m sorry.

(Then He closed His Eyes. Then hearing Ringtone and seeing Aman’s Name as a Caller ID. And receiving it.)

Aman: A.S.R Helicopter ready hai A3KR Designz keh Rooftop par.
Arnav: Theek hai. Mein araha hoon.

[Aman: A.S.R Helicopter is ready on A3KR Designz’s Rooftop.
Arnav: Okayyy. I’m coming there.]

(After saying this He cut the Call,  climbed downstairs and without saying anything He Drove His S.U.V from there.)

In Gomti Sadan
In Khushi’s Room
Few Minutes has passed since Guptas had left the room. Khushi opened Her Eyes which were Misty and Teary. Then looking at Her Hands which were Roughly holded by Shyam. And then seeing Darkness in Her Room made Her insides Scared. Trying to stay away from this Darkness as it make Her Realise how much Darkness had been engulfed in Her. Standing up She walked near to Door and sees a Person which made Her to Rooted at the Spot and Words echoed in Her.

“Abhinav: Hum samj gaye aur yakeen mano Humain bht Maza karainge bhi. Lakin us waqt us Maze se zyada Humain ab maza ane wala hai yeh sochkar Tumare saath Hum kya karne wale hain.”

[Abhinav: Okay Dear We understood it and Trust Me We would definitely enjoy that. But apart from that Time, We would enjoy this alot after thinking what is coming towards You.]

As those words Echoed in Her Brain, She further remembered what happened Next as He was constantly hurting ANOTHER PERSON who was trying to Save Her.
As She remembered, Her Face went more Pale and Hands get Numb and cold. But when She next sees that Person (Abhinav) again She took 3 Steps in another Direction and in Her Scared and Frightened form She ran away from there not knowing what Steps She is taking will lead Her to where.
But in attempt to Run this Time to Save Herself this Time, She ran from Her Room, from her house. She was running on a Road as in attempt to get Her Safe This Time. And like this She ran to a Big Palace from Backgate in order to Protect Her herself and hide and was continuously Sobbing and soon in Next Seconds there were Flashes making Her to Rooted at The Spot.)

Chapter Ends

****************

So Friends here Chapter No # 3 has ended…

P.S: Arnav has never seen Shyam as his Cousin but had only heard his name so he never knew how Shyam looks like. So that’s why Arnav didn’t recognise Shyam years ago that, that Monster is his Cousin.
