Riya p.o.v
As soon as I enter the house, my mother hugged me and my brother is standing with kheer. I took the bowl and start eating kheer and tastes so good; I love kheer very much. My brother made an angry face, I asked why he was angry,
“you eat my handmade kheer, but you did not hug me”, he said in a child's tone. My brother is 17, but still, he is Innocent, I like his innocent and type sweet talking. I made a sorry face and catch my ears like a small kid.
“ok I will forgive this time but, don’t repeat this ok”, he said in a small smirk which he wants to hide from me, but I found it.
After that, three of us started making our dinner. We three every day together make our dinner, it is the only time we can spend together because everyday morning we wake up early, we will go to our works, we don’t have time to see each other and at night we make food, that is the only time we will talk to each other, we laugh at our jokes, share what we did in that whole day. this our daily routine.
After eating food, I went into the room and my brother stared at his study, he will study late night. How many times I told not to study late night but he will not listen to me, because of late-night his health with also damage, I tried my best to convince him, but he neglects me. He wants to study in Newyork university, for that he needs a scholarship, so he studies very hard. Sometimes during exams, he will do night outs to get a good grade, I’m really worried about him. Because I told my mom that I will always take care of him.
Thinking about my brother, I went inside my room and went inside the washroom, After doing my business I came out, I wore simple kurta, and went to the bed to sleep.
Suddenly my phone rang, I saw the number; it is Kamala aunt. Kamala aunty is my father’s friend’s wife, and she is also our family friend. I lifted the call in a very panic way. She told me.
“Riya beta raj is missing, he til now did not come to the home,” she told in a feared tone. “what is the meaning he is not coming aunty, I asked her,
She told me that in the morning he came to our home, then he did not go back home. Aunt told in a sad tone. I told the aunt that today he did not come to our home. Aunt told me to search for him. She is really worried about him.
It is late night and I can’t go out of the house, mom will be in panic; I tried to convince the aunt. (aunt always rub his mistakes on me, she will blame me for everything). But she is not listening to me and scolding me for his mistake. She angrily told me to bring him, and I agreed. She also told me that Raj is my future husband, and he is my responsibility. I should take care of him. I agreed to her.
I grabbed my mobile and went out of the house to take him home.
Raj always behaves like that, when we were small kids, my father told her father that after we grow together, we have to marry him so that their friendship turns into a relationship. But I don’t like Ram, his sister, and his mother. They always insult us about our financial condition. But Kabir uncle (Raj’s father) always treats us as his family, equal to Raj and his sister. Kamala aunt does not like Kabir uncle sweet gesture towards us. He helped us many times when we need money. So I always want to return something to uncle for his sweet gesture, so that is the reason I respect Raj and her mother, I will do what aunt and raj told to me do.
Raj told to every that I'm his future wife, in our college also he told to everyone that we will are future couples, I don’t like that idea. He always interferes in my life, he will always take his decisions in my life.he always follows me where I go. I sometimes feel disgusted about it but did not tell to anyone. He doesn’t want me to study and stay at home and do household chores and bear his children. For him, women are only to take care of husband, children and his needs. But I don’t like his idea, so I declined his idea. But he sometimes he becomes angry on me, he beat me many times when I disobey but I did not tell to anyone, that he ill-treated me. But I cry sometimes but did not share with anyone, because my mom likes him and she told me, I must marry him. so I'm bearing this only for my mom and for her happiness
I called Ram. Ram is my childhood friend, he is the only person who supports me when I need support. he always understands me, He also supports me in studies. While my mother did not allow me to study. My mom doesn’t like me to study, because Raj doesn’t like it. But Ram convinces my mom that study is very important for girls, so they can be independent. After lots of convincing my mom agreed for my study, even for my job also my mom did not allow and again Ram convince her. He is my 24x7 helpline. I'm thankful for God to give me a friend like him
He lifted my call and asked, “hello baby, why you called me this time, is there any problem?”. he asked in a panic and caring tone. I told him everything, and he came to my house within 10 minutes and he found Raj whereabout by using GPS tracker and he found that raj was in one of the famous clubs in Mumbai, we did not waste any time and went there.
While going to the club he asked me “why can't his mom search that coward, if she is that much worry” he asked in an angry tone. Ram aunty is old and she can't search him, so she sends me” I tried to convince him. But he is not ok by my convention. He also knows how they ill-treat me, that is the reason he hates Raj's family. Like me, he also doesn't like Raj's family. he always tells me to say, everyone, how he will ill-treat me.
after going to the club, I went inside the club and searching for raj. Ram told not to come inside the club because they will be many drunk men they will tease and humiliate girls, but I told him it is difficult to search alone. Ram is searching in one direction, I'm searching in another direction. I'm searching for him everywhere and even I called his phone, but he is not lifting it.
The club is full of the spotlight. So many people are dancing, some girls are barely wearing the clothes I feel disgusted for those girls. I can't see it anywhere. after searching everywhere I found him, he is dancing with a girl, and he is drunk. Seeing him dancing with the other girl, I felt bad. Because he is my future husband, if I liked him or not, I respect marriage and I will be loyal to him and expect the same loyalty from him. But seeing dancing and kissing the other girl, I felt sad;
I came out of my thought by a sudden increase of loud noise. I went near him and by seeing me; he hugged me and pulled me closer to him, he squeezing my waist, I felt embarrassed and angry; I tried to push him, but he is not moving and leaning more towards me. I Can smell his alcohol, I tried to push him but I failed; he is stronger than me; he took my kiss forcefully.
I want to give my kiss only for my future husband, but he took forcefully. I know he is my future husband, but after marriage I want him to kiss me. But he took kiss forcefully. Suddenly he twisted my hand came near my ear I Can feel his hot air”, how many times I told you not to go for an interview” he said in a cold tone, I tried to free my hand but he is twisting more I screamed, but he is not listening to me because of loud music.
“I told you, you don't have to do any job and study, after our marriage all you have to do is, only serve me and fulfil my needs. That is only your duty for the rest of your life”. he said while twisting. After lots of difficulties, he left my hand and again kissed me, this time I allow him to have his way, but I did not respond to the kiss. I know if I resist him he will become more angry on me, he will beat me. I don't want any scene here. He suddenly fell on me, because he is too much drunk.
I kept his hand on my shoulder and tried to take him to his house, I slowly went out of the club and called Ram; he came with his car and he helps me carry him and we went to his house.
