Jairaj POV
"No! There is another reason."
She spoke, and glanced at me, maybe to seek permission. I nodded at her, making her free to feed him the truth.
"Nimmi!"
Nagma appi yelped at her elder daughter, who is just six now. The little girl calls me bhaiya, and sometimes chachu. She came out holding a small teddy bear in her hands. They keep her hidden, because some inhuman customers ask for little girls. She shouldn't be spotted by such monsters.
She was running to her mother, but the moment she saw me, she started running to me.
"Jai bhaiyaaaaa!"
She instantly hugged my knee, and I quickly bent down to pick her up in arms. She giggled and pecked my cheek.
"Chachu has gotten chocolates for you."
I muttered to her, bringing the chocolates and toffees out of my pockets. She clapped and took them from me.
"Yayayy!" She squealed happily.
"What the hell is going on?"
Armaan asked in frustration, he seemed confused.
"This is why he comes here"
Nagma appi blurted out, pointing her index finger at me.
"What do you mean?"
He asked again, his voice softened this time.
"He entertains us, sometimes dances for us. He brings us the food items that we crave for, but we aren't allowed to visit the market. Our seniors and customers torment us, while he provides healing to those wounds."
She asserted, her voice turned throaty gradually, and she glanced at me with tear filled eyes.
"He visited women of every age in this brothel and others as well, but he never touched any of us with evil intentions. Infact he was asking me how to touch a woman before his marriage, which means he has never done that."
She informed him, and my gaze lowered. I gulped to control my emotions. I feel sad about them. They sacrifice themselves so the demons out there don't attack the common girls, but that's not happening. Women are being tortured everywhere equally.
"And what did you tell him....... about touching a woman?"
Armaan asked in a low voice, devoid of anger this time.
"Consent! Before trying anything with her, may it be a simple kiss, seek consent, and he has done it, about which I'm very proud."
She told him, and he inhaled sharply. Nimmi was constantly struggling to unwrap the chocolates, and now she implored me in her cooing voice.
"Chachu! Chocolates."
I quickly tore the wrapped with my teeth, and moved my eyes sarcastically to make her laugh.
"These are your chocolates, baby."
She smiled widely, and took a bite from it. She kept the other chocolates safely in my pocket. The little girl trusts my pocket more than hers.
"Baby, come to your Chachu's friend."
Armaan walked to us, and spread his arms, asking Nimmi to go to him. She looked at me once, and she nodded, before jumping in his arms.
He started playing with her chubby pink cheeks, and she played with his beard too.
"I'm sorry, Jai." He muttered to me in a low voice, but I walked away to Nagma appi, ignoring his words.
