Dangerous Life Ahead

69 : || Her Vulnerable Side ||

Panchali stepped back in fear, she was scared of her sadistic father, who apparently looked like he would hit her same as her Mumma.

She tried to run, but her throat slipped a loud scream, while her eyes sprung tears, as Abhijeet grabbed her hair in his clutch, and then slapped her across her face.

Panchali fell over the floor, her head hitting hard.

He removed his belt from his pants, and landed it on Panchali's soft skin. A sheer painful scream left from her mouth, as a pain shot up through her body.

***

A sudden scream left from her mouth, as she felt a lava burning sensation on her nape.

Because, Akhil poured the hot melting candle on her soft skin, burning the area in the process.

The scream and cry of Panchali, satisfied his sadistic nature to hundred different levels.

"Do you know it's been years since I left trusting people and putting my faith in them? Do you know I am not normal? Do you know I suffer from insomnia just because I get innumerable nightmares? Are you aware of my claustrophobia, that closed spaces scare the shit out of me?" She shouted her words, her eyes spilling uncontrollable tears.

"And I take medicines for my sickness, I take daily anxiety shots even after knowing it's harming me but still I do. I am a drunkard because it helps me to forget my pain. It helps me to forget those nights of torture. DO YOU KNOW THAT?" She again screamed, crying hysterically.

I was scared, what if everyone thought of me as insane or psycho..." She trailed off as a sharp pain shot inside her chest.

Panchali jolted up awake. Her lips wobbled with the fear she felt.

Her face turned pale, as the sudden realization that she spilled her medical condition to her husbands made her blood turn cold.

She looked here and there. None of her husbands was there.

Her hands started shivering, as a fear of being left alone crawled within her.

Will they leave me thinking of me as a crazy woman? What if Bheem realized that it's better to stay away from an insane person?

She wondered, and with each word she felt a sharpness of terror rising through her veins.

"What if Bheem goes back to his first wife now?" She muttered, while her face paled with that.

Removing the duvet immediately, she marched to the door.

While she opened it, only to come face-to-face with Nakul.

"You're awake. How are you feeling now?" He asked, concern lacing his words watching her heavy breaths.

"N-Nakul, where were you? And... And where are your brothers..? Did they...?" Panchali visibly panicked, making him tense with her health.

"Calm... Calm down. I went to take medicine for you. And all of us were with you the entire night." Nakul tried to keep her calm, holding her forearms.

"Then where are they... Did- Did they leave me? What if Bheem went to his first wife thinking it's- it's better to stay away from a crazy wife..?" She asked, while breaking into tears in the state of panic.

Nakul was visibly baffled and worried by her change of behaviour.

"No Yuvrani, what are you thinking? He is-"
