What hurts the most ?
Shattered dreams, broken reality Or clipped wings?
For Aarunya, she had already faced it all.
With a pillaged soul and an abusive marriage where all her dreams were shattered in the game of his revenge, she was burnt into ashe...

Aarunya's heart felt heavy as she gulped down the lump of pain in her throat and tried her best to Stop the tears that threatened to fall out of her hazel eyes. Her hand grasped the fragile hand of her mother who layed there in the bed, her body attached with various wires and tubes. The only relief was the fact that her precious mother was safe.
Aarunya felt like a failed daughter today. She had dreamt of becoming a lawyer one day and giving a life of happiness to her man but now she herself couldn't do justice for herself . Here she was, the girl who once dreamt of bringing fairness into.the world couldn't even punish her own rapist, her own abuser. Aarunya wanted to sob like a child ik the embrace of her mother and tell her everything of the fate she had suffered in these past nine Years She wished to hug her ma and complain about ll of the injustice she suffered in the hands of Trayaksh and his cruelty but she knew she couldn't. Her Mother was here infront of her, still laying in the hospital bed and all Aarunya could do was to sit there, watch silently and wait.
But how long can one wait huh?
To her, every second felt like a lifetime.
She has already lost everything already.
Her freedom.
Her dignity.
Her body.
Her soul.
Herself.
But she couldn't bear to lose her mother.
Abhimanyu watched the young woman. The numb pain etched on her features was enough to tell her inner turmoil and the agony she was suffering from inside. For a moment Abhimany had the sudden urge to wrap his arms around Aarunya and reassure her that everything will be fine. The vulnerability and sadness dancing in her Hazel orbs tugged at his own heartstrings and surprisingly he felt his own heart move slightly because of his own rival's wife who was sitting in front of her bedridden mother.
It wasn't a feeling of affection or fondness nor was it lust. What Abhimanyu Shekhawat felt for Aarunya was a whole different feeling. A protectiveness which he had only felt for his little sister, Adira Shekhawat. Just a few minutes ago this same young woman called him Bhaiya when he saved her from falling. It stirred something inside him when he had looked at her pure Honey eyes which looked at him with a hint of gratitude, confusion and uncertainty but again the way she thanked him with that beautiful endearment made him feel as if he's tied into a bond of brotherly love with her. Abhimanyu had initially planned to use her against Trayaksh but after seeing how vulnerable and pure hearted this woman is made him feel like the biggest jerk alive for even thinking to use such a small woman against that bastard. He clenched his jaw as his own heart ached for the small woman who was trying her to chase her tears from falling in front of him and he wished nothing but to beat Trayaksh to pulp at this time.
