Demon's Secret Wife (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

OMKAR

'Hi Mukta....My name is Dr Nita...How are you feeling now' the counselor asked Mukta and she nodded with a light smile. That smile killed me.
I was used to a giggling Mukta!!!
Even after the wedding fiasco her smile hadn't left her and today she was forcing a smile on her lips.

The counselor began talking to Mukta who kept shifting towards me and kept replying her and the counselor signalled me...
I held Mukta's forearm and told her softly...
'Mukta...she is our friend...you are in a safe place baby girl...hmmm' I pushed back that one strand of hair behind her ears. Her body shivered at my touch. The shiver which made me smile when I first time touched her in the jungle was now a fearful one.

'Mukta...are you scared of me... I'm your friend Omkar... remember the 48 hours we spent laughing and giggling throughout our journey from Phulvaspura to Mangalore?' I asked and listening to the name of her village brought tears in her eyes...
'I want to go home...I want to go to my Baba....Omkar...I don't like this place' she said and the tears rolling down from her eyes broke my heart.

'Mukta...Dr.Nita is our friend...she is here to talk to you sweetheart...I'm here...see there are people around you and no one will harm you...so just speak up sweetie' I  spoke softly and she slowly nodded.

Just when we were about to speak to her my friend Commissioner Sandesh called me outside the room...

'O.K...we charged Mukta's mobile and we found some Srinivas Anna's number...so we dialled and spoke to him and he along with his friends are here...' and I saw a bunch of men aging from 25-35 standing there...

'O.K these men work in a small Udupi hotel in Mangalore...they are the staff there and....' Sandesh's silence was scaring me

'And???' I asked curiously...

'Mukta has been working as one of the kitchen staff there!!!' and I was shocked.

'Whatttt???No... not possible Mukta had a job offer from' before I could complete the man ...Srinivas ...he spoke up saying...

'Mukta didn't get the job Sir...she was late to join and she was in desperate need of money...when she first met us she looked worried and upset...we thought as time passes she would get better...but she looked worse as time passed...we have seen her for two and half weeks Sir...she is a graduate...but that housemate of hers Kaya and her disgusting boyfriend Harry that bloody pimp initially took away all her money saying they will return her back soon as they needed urgent cash and then smartly took away her certificates as well from her...

She had no other choice but to find a odd job for herself because gradually Kaya and her boyfriend Harry stopped giving her food too...How many days can a girl go hungry Sir...she joined our hotel and within days we got to know she was also like us...ran away from hometown...in search of better life and job but the recession and situation...above all the language barrier put her in this soup...' and I was trying to still absorb what the man kept saying...

'She would speak to me few days back..she had my number...why didn't she tell me...' I asked and he said...

'She was already indebted by your favour Sir...you already gave her shelter...but sir when she thought Kaya and her boyfriend had started crossing their limits...she tried to reach you...but you probably were busy ..you didn't pick her call'

That's when it striked me!!!
Damn why on earth had I started avoiding her...why didn't I think she is alone here...she maybe in need of help!!!
I cursed myself a hundred times.

'What do you mean by them crossing limits???' I asked clenching my fist tightly.
He looked hesitant but when I kept my hand on his shoulder and told him...
And Sandesh assured him
'Srinivas...trust me... I will make sure that her culprits rott behind the bars' while Srinivas looked at his friends and started speaking up...
