.................................................

One month passed, Abhinav's mother,sister and Mitali didn’t leave a chance to make her life hell. They made her do all the house chores, they kept her hungry and sometimes slapped her or beat her. 

She tried to talk to Abhinav, but she never got a chance. He leaves early in the morning, and returns late in the night. He made love to her and slept. She was silently bearing all the tortures. 

One day, Pakhi was preparing chapati when Mitali entered the kitchen. She smirked seeing Pakhi, seeing her busy, she tried to put extra salt in food, but Pakhi stopped her and said,”Mitali Didi, aap ye kya kar rhi hai. Aaap mera khana kyu kharab kar rahi hai. Maine aapka kya bigada hai?”

Mitali jerked her hand, and said,”Tune mujhe mera pati cheen liya aur puchti hai ki maine kya bigada hai. Wo mere room se nikal kar tere paas chale jaate hai, aisa kya jadu kar diya hai tune. Jyada hawa mein mat udh, jaldi hi main tujhe isse ghar se nikal dugi. Tune aur tere bhai ne mere zindagi barbaad kar di hai.”

Before Pakhi could reply, her mother-in-law entered, seeing her Mitali changed her expression and said, crying,” Pakhi, tum mujse aise baat kyu kar rahi ho? Main bas keh rahi thi main Abhinav ka favorite gajar ka halwa banana chahti hu.”

“Kya ho raha hai yaha?” Abhinav’s mother asked looking at Mitali, she replied,”Maa ji, main to bas Abhinav ji ke liye halwa banana chahti thi lekin Pakhi mujhe taana marne lagi. Kehne lagi agar mard ke dil ka rasta khane se hota to kabhi bhi Abhinav ji dusri shadi nahi karte.”

Pakhi was shocked to hear her, she tried to defend her,”Maa ji, Mitali didi jhoot bol rahi hai.” Her mother-in-law didn’t let her finish, she held her hand and put on tava.

Pakhi was screaming in pain while Mitali was watching everything with a smirk. She left her hand and said angrily,”Hamari bahu Mitali hai, aur tu kuch hi din ki mehman hai. Jaise hi tera nasha humare bete ke sir se hatega wo chod denge tujhe, samaj gyi. Ja yaha se, aur aaj tujhe khana nahi milega.”Pakhi ran toward her room crying. 

After some time, Abhinav entered the room and saw her crying holding her hand. He looked at her hand, and asked with little  concern, but he didn’t show any expression,”Kya hua tujhe? Khana banate hue haath jal gya?”

“Maa ji ne mera haath jala diya, unhone mera haath tava pe daal diya.” Before she could finish, he said in a stern voice, “Meri maa ki burai mujhse mat kar, bhul mat maa hai mere. Aur ye ghar ki baatein karke mera dimag mat kharab kiya kar.”

He angrily walked inside the washroom, while she lay down on the bed. After some time, he came out of the washroom and saw her sleeping on the bed, with a tear stained face. He sighed loudly, he took the ointment and started applying carefully.

Feeling touch, she opened her eyes and was surprised to see him applying ointment on her hand. Seeing her looking at him, he said,”Ye bina dawai lagai kyu so rahi hai aur tune khana bhi nahi khaya.”

“Maa ji, ne mana kiya hai khana khane se aaj raat.” She informed him, he sighed again. He knows his mother is wrong, but he didn’t want her to be angry. She was already with him for marrying Pakhi, if he took her side, it would increase her anger. 

He called his servant and asked him to send food after everyone slept. He said, after cutting the phone,”Aage se dhyaan rakhna, kuch bhi aisa mat karna jisse maa ko gussa aaye.” Pakhi nodded  sadly, tears were still flowing through her eyes. He wiped her tears and said,”Ye tu bacho ki tarah har baat pe roti kyu rehti hai. Chal jaa ke muh do, khana aata hi hoga.”

Pakhi nodded and walked to the washroom.
