It was calm, peaceful evening. I live in melancholy always since my childhood I kinda adjusted with it at first and now that I find happiness in it. So, I was sitting alone in my room, watching the night sky, thinking many things like how beautiful the stars look in the sky, where are they actually from,etc.. just then I heard a rough knock in the door of my room. It seemed really unusual to me as no one calls me usually that time. Gaining courage, I stood up and went towards the door with fear and confusion. As I opened the door I found a tall, slim man wearing a purple t-shirt and jeans looking lustfully towards me. I felt like I had seen this person somewhere and then in a reflex it came to my mind that it was one of the members of the group of my uncle. Shivering in fright I got frosted. After which I got a glance of my uncle at the back of that person.
"Ravin, here's our Arundhuti", said my uncle in a introducing manner. I gave a pale unknown look to my uncle to which he responded "Dear, from now on Ravin will owe you. You will no longer stay here in my house", he said in a commanding way. I got cold, freezer with terror. Even though I knew that some danger I might have to face anyday, but I never thought of this. How could I imagine that my own uncle would abandon, rather to say sold me to an unknown person? It broke my heart into pieces that my uncle kept me as a material in the game. I was buffled with so many emotions and tears rolled down my cheeks.

In a moment, Ravin grabbed my right hand tightly and dragged me out of the house forcibly. I also met the group while I was passing through the veranda. All those monsterous men were laughing so hard when the saw me. My uncle stood at the corner putting his head down as if all the burden of earth have been put in the shoulder of him.

I cried out throughout the whole way I travelled to Ravin's house.

It was a small house like of ours. It was dark inside and no one could be found. Ravin entered before me in the room and enlightened the room. There was a small window, a single bed, a plastic chair, a small kitchen at a side and a bathroom to the other side of the room.
He took me to the next room. It was a dark, cold room. He literally threw me there inside and locked me.
