TRIPTI

PART:4

*Time skips*

Tripti enters her room while the bunch of keys keep ringing. Her room was all covered with the blue light of the moon.

Tripti sat down on her bed and took the diary in her hands. She holds a pen and was about to start writing.

Bade thakur: At least light the lamp.

Tripti turns to see her husband sitting on a chair near the window. She keeps the diary on the table and gets up quickly.

Bade thakur: What is that?

Tripti takes the matchbox.

Tripti: Nothing.

And moves to light the lamps.

Bade thakur: Why do you look so guilty, Tripti?

Tripti: *keeps lighting lamps* No.
That is... It's just.... something personal.

Bade thakur: The only thing personal in a wife's life is her husband.

Tripti looks down. While bade thakur gets up and walks towards Tripti.

Bade thakur: I'm headed to Calcutta...along with Satvik.

Tripti looks at him with sad eyes.

Bade thakur started to leave.

Tripti: Why? Why are you taking Satvik?

Bade thakur: We have to get....his travel documents prepared.

Bade thakur leaves the room while being angry and frustrated. Tripti runs towards the window with teary eyes.

*After a while*

She starts writing her diary.

Three,four....five..six..seven.. eight...nine...ten..eleven..

Tripti kept doing her things and every time she looked out of the window in hope to get a glance of someone she wanted to return back.

Ready or not, here I come!

*Days passed*

Tripti was looking out of the window and suddenly ran out of her room towards the entrance of the palace as she saw Bade thakur coming inside.

Tripti runs nervously and fast downstairs as she sees Bade thakur getting inside.

Tripti: oh, you're back, thakur mushair?

Keep running downstairs and looking towards the entrance.

Tripti: Satvik?

Bade thakur: *climbing upstairs* I've sent him to London.

Tripti looks at the entrance blankly and looks at Bade thakur leaving her site with teary eyes.

*Time skips*

Bade thakur was looking at the diary that was on the table with a blank face.
He moves towards the bed to see Tripti sleeping peacefully, he takes a glance of her and leaves the room.

Tripti opens her eyes slowly and gets up and starts moving towards the diary. She takes the diary with her shaking hand and opens the pages while sitting near the fireplace and crying softly.

*Inside the diary*
Satvikjeet thakur
Mrs. Tripti chaudhary

Cries and tears the page apart and throws it into the  fireplace and she keeps tearing and throwing the pages in the fireplace while crying hard and she lights the fireplace and sees her feelings burning in the heat of the fireplace while crying heartly.

Tripti: No.

Suddenly she started to remove the pages from the fireplace trying to save the pages. She got tired and lost all her hope.

Meanwhile

Bindu was fixing her saree while looking at the mirror.
She moves towards the bed.

...? : Is Roohan still asleep?

Bindu: Yes.

Bade thakur was on the bed lying partially while Bindu moved towards him. She sat on the bed and lay on
Bade thakur's chest after handing him a glass of wine.

She kissed Bade thakur's chest softly
and look at him.

Bindu: How is badi bahu doing?
It's silly of me to ask. Of course she must be devastated. She must be in mourning--*Bade thakur gets up quickly off the bed*

He leaves Bindu's room and reaches his room to see no one on the bed.
He moves towards the fireplace and takes a rod, he moves the burning paper and sees Satvik's and Tripti's name on it.

His eyes became bloody red and he started to move outside the room slowly with a rod in his hand.

He kept dragging the rod and entered the washroom where Tripti was lying naked in the bathtub with her eyes closed.

Bade thakur looked at her and caress her hair gently. Suddenly he moved her head and grabbed her hair strongly. Tripti looks at him in confusion as he pulled her out of bathtub and throws her on floor infront of a mirror where her reflection was clear.

*Tripti screams loudly*

She looks in the mirror and saw bade thakur holding up his rod and he hits her legs as she screams painfully. He takes out the rod from her legs dripping the blood all over the walls and floor of the bathroom.
He kept hitting her with all the force he had while she kept screaming painfully.

Next day

There was a white surgical plate that had the pieces of iron coated with blood.
Dr. Sudeep takes out long pieces of iron from the legs of Tripti.
He takes a surgical thread and needle passing through her wound making his hands and the needle cover in blood. He takes the feet of Tripti after the treatment and hangs it with bandage on her bed.

Dr.Sudeep looks at Tripti lying lifelessly and leaves the room.
He comes towards the stairs at the entrance where Bindu and Bade thakur was standing.
They were looking at the rain while a servant carries a briefcase leaving the palace.

Bindu: Do you have to leave?

Bade thakur: There's nothing here for me.

Bindu looks at him.

Bade thakur: Don't worry. I'll keep sending money.

Dr.Sudeep approaches them.

Sudeep: She hasn't yet gained consciousness.

Bindu turns to look at him.

Sudeep: I have done the needful, but her feet--*cut off*

Bade thakur: She fell from the stairs.

Sudeep: She fell from the stairs?

Bade thakur: Pay the doctor...and give him a little top for his services.

Bade thakur opens his umbrella and leaves the palace.

*Time skips*

Tripti was dragging herself on the floor while moaning in pain.

Tripti opens her eyes and started breathing deeply she looks towards her hanging feet and crys loudly in pain.
