TWO HOURS BACK
Nandini
Opening my eyes, I blink several times to clear my blurry vision.
As I look around, I find myself inside a dimly lit room.
The light is not enough to see properly, but I can make out it's someone's bedroom.
I am lying on the carpeted floor. A king-sized bed is in front of me, occupying the center of the room. There is a cupboard at the other end of the room across from me. And there is also a dressing table with a big mirror by its side, right in front of the bed.
As I try to sit up from where I'm lying on the floor, a pain-filled groan escapes my lips because even the slightest movement causes a painful throbbing right at the center of the head radiating down to my spine, causing the jolts of tingling pain throughout my entire body.
"Wher—" I try to speak but find my throat completely dry, making it difficult to even utter a word.
Slowly, I slide to the corner and then sit up, leaning against the wall there, pushing through the pain I feel while doing so.
Closing my eyes, I try to recall how I ended up here.
Amidst the throbbing pain in the head, I get some flashes.
Aastha and I in the washroom.
Her teary eyes when she apologized to me.
Feeling a pricking sensation on the nape of my neck.
"You did good, Slut. It's now time to add Nandini to my collection."
I immediately open my eyes when that voice reverberates through my entire being.
Then, I was in a semi-conscious state to realize who it was, but now, as his voice rings in my ears, I shudder in fear because I recognize him.
How can I ever forget that vile, disgusting man?
"What body you have, Nandini. Come on, don't hide it from me. Keep your hands by your side, and let me appreciate those luscious peaks."
"Come, sit on my lap."
"If you don't do what I tell you, not only will I hurt your brother, but I will also taint your parents' reputation by spreading the rumors in your neighborhood about how low you stooped in trying to seduce me."
"Next time. I'll do much more than just looking and pinching. Next time, I'll claim you as mine. And you'll remain mine until I get bored of you."
Squeezing my eyes shut, I put my hands to cover my ears, hoping it would stop his disgusting voice from ringing in my ears.
He is back.
Terror grips me as I realize Rishabh is the one who brought me here.
I bring my knees to my chest and wrap my hands around it, rocking back and forth, trying to lessen the paralyzing fear bubbling inside me.
"Are you awake, Nandini?"
I hear Aastha call my name, and it causes a tiny hope to bud in my chest.
Aastha is here. Maybe she can help me escape.
But how did she get here? Did she follow me? Or did she also get taken by Rishabh from the washroom?
The questions swirling in my mind suddenly stop when a realization hits me.
