Who is she ?

Past of ladies👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 (part 10)

Pov: Vivan

"No, no police" Naina repeatedly says. Her eyes were full of tears and she was very scared as if we are giving her some kind of punishment by taking her to the police station.

The phone in my pocket starts to vibrate, it was Rishab calling me. I picked up his call "Do you know my Pendrive ?" He asked. "Which one?" I put another question mark to that he replied " In which there is an interview of those ladies who have brutal past and now they all live on their own. I have told you about them, do you remember?". When he said this it gave me the idea that why don't we take this girl to that place "Vivan, you there?" Rishabh asks me on call. "Ohh yes, I mean no I don't remember. Okay, bye" saying this I cut the call immediately.

I took Siya aside and told her about the house where females who don't know each other before are staying together and set an example of females helping females. So I suggested to Siya that we can take Naina to that house. Siya shared everything with Ayna and Ayna agreed to this and she also managed to convince Naina.

I called Rishabh and explain everything and took the address of that house from him.

We reached that location and we all were standing in front of that house. We were all in a dilemma that how to approach them and how to introduce Naina there. Somehow we got the courage and knock on the door. One of the women inside the house opens the door and was looking at us with a question mark. Neither she nor we were saying anything just look at each other, breaking the silence Ayna continue saying "I am Ayna, and with me is Naina. We have come here for her. We found her on Ram mandir staircase crying. She is alone in this city and is afraid also to tell what happens to her so if it is possible then can you help us to know about her and can you please till then keep her with you? "

"I am Saima, please came inside, and yes our door is always open for girls like her" she replied.

When we entered their house I was a little bit surprised as I thought women here would be pessimistic or regret their past or curse their life but the reality was different. They were optimistic and move on in their life.

We all settle down and other women introduce themself. Saima sat beside Naina and said "if something bad happens to you then feel free to share with us" she continued confessing "Look at me there was a day where I was there in your condition, I was married to a man who used to beat me and oppressed me. I thought that this is it, this is what my life has to offer me. One day he removed me from the house and with no job and no home to stay I was alone wondering where to go and what to do next. I was well aware of the fact that even my parents will not welcome me to their house as my husband left me. I knew about NGOs that help women get jobs. I contacted them and as they promise they help me till I became self-sufficient. I started my business and bought this house for myself but one day I saw a baby girl on road crying. I bought her home, as I understood that she is left alone there because of her gender. I adopted her. See she is standing there Reha is her name. Then I decided that for every woman who wants to move on and get their life I will help them and my doors are always open for them. Every woman who is here they have some brutal past, so feel comfortable sharing your part of the story with us, believe me, we all are there to help you."

Naina after listening to this stopped to cry but was still hesitating to tell what happen to her. As if her mind was finding words to say her part and kind of confused about where to start from. After a few minutes, she spoke up "I live in Haryana, it was pre-decided by my family that after my 12th they will marry me to a man. Everything was going smoothly, it was the last paper of my 10th boards center which was a little far from my home so Mayank who's my father's friend's son used to come to pick me up and drop me off. Even that day he came to pick me but instead of taking me home, he took me to some isolated area saying that my father called me there." She stops here and her eyes were filled with tears.
