Chapter 22

He stared at her for the longest time before his eyes fell on her hand that was attached to the drip. His hand caressed the back of her hand without touching it and placed a kiss on her knuckles. Her hands are warm as well. Let alone be the hands but her whole vibes are warm and calm. She is so innocent and simple, elegant and graceful. Her every movement and her every action looks graceful. Maybe because of the fact that she has been a dancer for most of her life.

Today in the office he wasn't able to concentrate on his work so he asked for her background check though he already checked them when she was marrying his stepbrother. There he again went through her life events and found out that she was a dancer for almost half of her life. She started dancing when she was pretty young and then got to know about her nothing-for-good father. Her father was always drunk and suddenly his mind started to run in another direction. Her father could be useful to him. He immediately dialed a call to his friend who is a doctor and fixed an appointment in her father's name.

Later he somehow forced himself on the work and once he was concentrated he worked till late at night. And after that, he straight away came here and was staring at her. He stared at her for the longest time as a simple action of her breathing looked interesting to him.

The next morning the fragile body under the blanket squirmed as she let out mwels of small groans before closing her eyes. There is a slight sweat on her forehead and her upper lip as she raised her hand to wipe it off but the drip on her hand remained that there was a needle under her skin. She sighed feeling lucky that she was asleep while the needle was being pierced. Or she knows. She wouldn't let them do that. Resting it in its prior place she wiped the sweat with her other hand. Her eyes roamed the ceiling before turning to her right and getting up with the support of her hand. The first sight that her eyes fell on was the lord Krishna which was placed on the nightstand. She closed her eyes and joined her hands before tapping her both cheeks and bowed her head to him.

As soon as she opened her eyes his suit came into her view. Her brows knotted in doubt.

Why was his suit here?

She thought as she glared at it for a while before turning her face away haughtily to get down from the bed from the other side. As soon as she turned she gasped as she froze in her place.

There he was. Sitting on a chair leisurely as he looked at her with blank eyes. She didn't realize he was here all the time. His every assault on her hit her hard as her lips wobbled and her soul trembled. Her legs curled and she moved back, still sitting on the bed. Her breath came out shaken as she gulped, still finding his stare on her. She looked down to avoid his gaze and turned away from him, planning to get down from the bed.

"What are you doing"?

His deep raspy voice rang in her small room. She shrank her shoulders as her head ducked in hearing his voice. Her hands formed fists except for her left hand as her eyes looked here and there in nervousness.

"I asked what are you doing".

"I-I...Nothing. I'm just g-getting down".

She can't help the tremble in her voice as she remembered everything that happened to her the previous day.

"Are you born stupid or pretending to be stupid".

Her brows scrunched offended as she meekly looked at him through her shoulder hiding half of her face except for her eyes behind the shoulder.

He tilted his face as his hand clenched in a fist looking at her posture. She looked like an innocent seductress with her legs folded to her rear with dress sprawled around and her body twisted back as she was peeking at him through her shoulder with that confused look in her eyes. That was surely a seduction. Even in a mess she manages to seduce him. Taking a deep breath he controlled himself as he spoke.

"You have a drip on your hand. Do not move".

He said and her eyes followed the drip wire. She forgot about the drip despite seeing it on her hand just a few minutes ago.

Her eyes were set on the drop dripping in the drip bar when suddenly she felt his lips on hers and she flinched back with a gasp as she looked at him with her wide eyes. He again leaned forward when she turned away and hid her lips with the back of her hand and mumbled.

"Please".

Her sound of hitching breath was heard as soon as her tears ran out in no time.

His face fell as he sighed exasperatedly.

"Fine. I'm leaving. Don't cry now".

Saying that he collected his coat and went through the same door he came from, yesterday night. She looked ahead shocked to see the door opening to his room. She did see the door and always wondered what it would be inside and thought it would be a store room. But it was connected to his room.

Her lips wobbled remembering all his assaults.

Her dignity is at stake.

And she couldn't take any risks anymore.

She has to run away.

But what about her laws? They were suffering as much as they suffered. They were in trouble as well. Didn't he beat them with a whip already? They need to be saved as well. She will talk to them about running away.

A few minutes later a nurse came and removed the drip and without wasting any minute she took a bath. She felt her body a little weaker but she is sure it will get better if she gets used to work starting with small works. She had many times come over fever attacks and that too without any doctor consultation.

Getting ready after he left for the office in the afternoon she visited her mother-in-law while Ridhima was busy preparing her home remedy medicine.

After meeting her she came back to her room and began to walk rides from one point to another fiddling with her fingers. It was only a 15-minute talk. And they didn't agree with her. They said why should they all run away from their home because of one rowdy pervert.

What she said was the point though. Why should they run away from their homes because of this pervert? What's the point of running away if he doesn't get karma for his actions? This house never belonged to him anyway. Then why should her in-laws lose the house? Where would they go if they lose the house?

She decided. She will do as her mother-in-law suggested.

She'll steal those papers and give them to her mother-in-law. And the rest will be taken care of by her.

With that determination, she sat back on the bed.

A brief explanation about Raja and Sita.

In Tretha yuga~

Lord Ram was married to Sita. Raja was exiled to live in the forest for 14 years. Along with Rama, his brother Lakshman followed him and his wife Sita followed him as well as she cannot live her life peacefully in a palace while he was dwelling in the forest.

While they were living in the forest one day Sita was kidnapped in their absence. Sita was kidnapped by Ravana and was kept in a corner of his kingdom by force under his security. He kidnapped her as he heard that he was the most beautiful princess and another part of the reason was that his (Ravan) sister was insulted by her brother-in-law Lakshman.

During her captivity for a year in Lanka, Ravana expressed his desire for her; however, Sita refused his advances. But he never dared to touch her or assault her as he remembers he was cursed by lord Brahma because of raping an apsaras that his head would be split into thousand pieces if he touches an unwilling woman.

During the captivity, she endured everything with great patience and courage and with a strong hope that her Rama will come to take her back. For which he of course took her back after winning the war with Ravana where Ravana was killed.

Actually. Ravana is the mightiest of all and earned a boon that no god or demon should kill him. He underestimated humans and didn't mention humans while asking boon. And for his alone destruction, the lord Vishnu took birth as a human. And top of all that he abducted a woman, the Sita, and brought his own destruction in the form of a human.
