"Ohho,Mehendi (Henna) looks great" All the neighborhood woman complimented Sneha.
"Dhriti,come apply Mehendi" Aarohi insisted.
"No,didi it's alright" Dhriti denied politely.
"Dhriti sit down next to Sneha" Dhaani spoke in a honey laced voice but her orbs glared her daughter.
Dhriti unwillingly sat down with a sulking face.
"Excuse me" Dhriti excused herself from the women who sang crazily.
Dhriti sat on the roof and scrunched her nose seeing her palms.
Gosh I hate henna! The odor makes me puke and stupid bra sucks.
Dhriti dragged down the strapless foamed bra and removed it off her torso internally through her blouse.
Hush...such a relief of this killer bra.
Dhriti smiled as she felt light again in her skin.
"That's a cool bra" A boy spoke out scaring Dhriti.
Dhriti immediately hid it behind the black water tank.
"What? What's wrong with you creep!" Dhriti exclaimed at the dark figure.
"Dhriti,chill it's me"the boy chuckled.
"Me...who?" Dhriti frowned.
"I didn't you recognize me Senorita" the boy with a chuckle.
"Mayank Monkey! Damn you built abs and muscles,scared shit out of me" Dhriti exclaimed.
"Hey don't call me Monkey" Mayank spoke out.
"You are a Monkey!" Dhriti teased.
"And you are a lizard,a skinny one" Mayank retorted.
"Nevermind...when did return from Mumbai?" Dhriti questioned.
"Just now" Mayank replied.
"Massi would be mad at you, you skipped your sister's wedding" Dhriti spoke out.
"Wedding is not yet done" Mayank replied.
"Why did you return? Didn't you left the house for eternity" Dhriti questioned.
"Nothing is for eternity" Mayank's demeanor fell.
"What happened?" Dhriti spoke out worriedly.
"It's not easy to become an actor there" Mayank sighed.
"You left IIT in the middle to pursue acting.Fought with your family to go to Mumbai.Come on,don't give up Mayank. At least you were pursuing your passion and gave hope to me" Dhriti spoke hastily.
"What kind of Hope?" Mayank asked amused.
"Uhmm hope to all the cousins to follow dreams and I could also state your example to pursue basketball and Archaelogy" Dhriti stated.
"Dreams are bloody illusions don't fall for them" Mayank replied.
"Are you really that Mayank who preached pursuing dream life? What's wrong Mayank?" Dhriti questioned.
"It all got fucked up. I got selected for an audition. The casting director appeared as good person but that fucker trapped me" Mayank sniffed.
"What did he do!" Dhriti exclaimed.
"He asked me to give nudes pictures,I denied.Later he threatened me to sleep with someone.He had goons looking over me.He even didn't pay my fees for the ad shoot I did earlier.I couldn't pay the rent and the landlord threw me out ,he didn't had penny to eat.I did odd jobs to survive,some nights I slept on footpath with empty stomach" Mayank ranted.
Dhriti was speechless for a few seconds," Mayank it's going to be okay" she spoke out in a low tone.
"Nothing is going to be the same! Dhriti....I lost my soul there " Mayank broke down into tears.
"Mankie what happened?" Dhriti spoke out with serious concern on her face.
"He later contacted me to pay my dues. I went there without giving a second thought,I was starving I needed my money. He called me to a 5 star hotel as I reached the room he wasn't there.They locked me up in the room. There was no network,I couldn't contact the outer world for help. For days I didn't see the sunlight and they fed me once a day to keep me alive. I was so weak I couldn't get up from the bed. Not only this, that bastard got me raped for uncountable times for his dirty films. One day at once 3 women gang raped me and I was fucking tired to defend myself! I hate every part of my body now. They were powerful, if I tried to seek help or justice probably I would have been murdered,therefore I ran away and came back to Agra" Mayank sobbed like toddler.
Dhriti cried along with him and hugged him in sympathy.
"You need to be strong Monkey" She wiped his tears.
"Don't tell this to anyone,promise" Mayank spoke out showing his little finger.
"Promise,Pinky promise" Dhriti locked her little finger with his,just like they did as kids to keep secrets and promises.
Mayank again regained his normal composure after a few minutes.
"That bra is cool,definitely you haven't bought this" Mayank joked to bring back smile to Dhriti's face.
"Yeah,Mummy bought them.She thinks I look horrible..." Dhriti spoke out.
"in those small boobies" Mayank completed her sentence.
"Haww! Shut up you idiot" Dhriti smacked his shoulder.
"What's the big deal? Not all with big breasts are desirable and for your kind information beauty comes in all shape and size" Mayank spoke out chewing his favorite mint gum.
Dhriti looked him with respect and admiration.
"Monkey when did you became so wise?" Dhriti spoke out amazed.
"College time,those first two years ,I had made Two girlfriend for each year respectively.My first girlfriend was straight out of those fashion magazines,small clothes, big boobs and bum,it all made her attractive to a small town boy like me. Soon,she turned bossy so,I dumped because physical attraction fades when hearts don't connect.The other girl whom I met in second year was poles apart from earlier.She spoke tamil,had long silky hair,always wore traditional clothes. She was simple girl with that talkative nature,her skin was wheatish but her eyes were sparkling with enthusiasm. She didn't had tall height,she was way smaller than me,I literally scoop her in my arms.Her boobs were small and first time,I saw them I laughed.I had never seen them so small. She was furious by my reaction,didn't talk with me for days" Mayank reminisced.
"Then you broke up?" Dhriti spoke out in between.
"No, infact she maintained distance from me. I barged into her hostel room,one night.Her roomie had not returned from her hometown.My gf was all alone. She threw books at me and I apologized a 100 times before we patched up. That night we made out love,amazing it was" Mayank spoke dreamily.
"Where is she now? I can see that you love her" Dhriti spoke happily.
"We didn't had a fairytale. I left her alone to pursue acting. She kept pleading me to stay in IIT and plan our future. I revolted for senseless ambitions,left her weeping at the campus gate" Mayank spoke out emotionally.
"You can find her now,she might not be married yet" Dhriti spoke hopefully.
"Life doesn't give second chances. She died 3 years ago by suicide" Mayank replied.
"What!" Dhriti exclaimed with shock.
"While I struggled in Mumbai,she fell into spiral of depression.Nobody could help her.She called me once,I could sense something was amiss but I didn't knew what she was going through.Her parents were forcing her to marry someone,she could never forget me.When they over persuaded her,she chose to die on her wedding day wearing her red bridal dress,the one she always dreamt to wear for me as a bride" Mayank's eyes brimmed again.
Dhriti hugged,"May she rest in peace" she spoke out crying.
