SWARA~~His Caged Princess

08

****SWARA.......

After Kuldeep left, I cleaned Baba's room and completed some of the remaining work as well.Now there was nothing to do so I thought of going to my room and clean there too...as I m bored...

While cleaning I saw a box. I wanted to know what was inside it. I opened it and saw that it contained my old books.A big smile came on my face, my eyes started shining, I started remembering my old days, how a book always remained with me throughout the day I quickly moved some books around and took out a story book of my choice and sat on the bed and started reading.I was so into  concentrate on reading the story and then my eyes fell asleep...

.I woke up with the sound of the door opening loudly and I opened my eyes and saw Pramod standing there he was not able to open his eyes properly, obviously he must have drunk, this is not a big deal to handle it's has became a habit to me....

I took the book from the bed and put it back on the trunk and went near him so that I could help him come towards the bed.He angrily jerked my hand......I  got confused, then he angrily said....

"..Aaj to bahut khush hogi... tumhara yaar Jo aaya hai itne dinon ke bad.."

(" You must be very happy today... As your lover has come after so many days.")

I did not understand whom he is referring to...what I should do now.., I was confused and asked

"..Kya matlab main samajh nahin Rahi aap kahana kya chahte Hain .."

( " What do you mean...I m not able to understand what you're trying to say..")

"...Are vah kr toh aise rhi ho ke  kuchh pata hi nahin..."

(" Ohh...nice... you're acting like you don't know anything...")

he said in a taunting way

"...Dekhiae aapko jo kahana hai saaf saaf kahiye aisi baten mat ghumaiye.."

( " Look whatever you have to say just say it clearly Don't...make is complicated...")

"..Achcha main baten ghumata Hun badi juban chalne lagi hai tumhari.."

( "..ohh I m making it complicated... Seems like your tongues have started running alot..." )

he said angrily

I moved a little away from him and started thinking what did I do today that he is so angry with me Then I remembered that Kuldeep has come today, does this mean that he is angry at me for talking to Kuldeep?I wanted to ask him but I know if I tell him anything now, he will blame me instead.

Seeing me standing silently he got more angry and he held my arms tightly and pulled me towards him and asked me

"...Mere pass aane mein to bahut problem hoti hai aur use apne pass baar baar bulati hn mere samne bada ijjat ki baten karte ho aur duniya bhar ke logon ke samne slut...Bani firti Hn.."

( "...you have problem in coming close to me and you keep calling him.. again and again... infront of me you act all respectful women and in front of others you behaves like a slut....")

What...Did he call me a slut how could he insult me like this I angrily freed my hand and planted a tight slap on his cheeks....I am not that weak ....yes I am not fighting for myself but for my respect No one can point a finger at...... The sound of the slap echoed in the room. he touched his cheeks and looked at me angrily. His eyes were red. I know I have made a mistake, but whatever happens...,Even if he kills me, I will never regret slapping him

"..Sali Teri itni aukat tune mujhe thappad mara....aaj main batata hun.."

( " You bitch... you've that audacity to slap me.... today I will tell you your real place...")

he yelled at me

Pramod was coming towards me  with slower steps...I stepped back ....His eyes were red and he was about to raise his hand on me when he stopped because of the sound of the door

someone was knocking at our door He looked at me angrily and went towards the door and opened it.When he opened the door, we saw Kuldeep standing there, blood was flowing from his hand and he was gasping for breath.he said taking a quick breath

"..Lagta hai koi aaya hai Maine Koshish ki use  rokaneki lekin usne  mujh  per hamla Kiya.... aap jakar dekhiae kaun hai "

( "...I think someone has broked into here....I tried to stop him but he attacked me... instead.. please look for him...")

Pramod first looked at his hand, then at his face and after a while he turned back and looked at me and then he went away from here..

I took a sigh of relief that at least he will not beat me now, then I turned my attention towards Kuldeep's hand, a lot of blood was coming out from his hand, I did not think anything and went to him.Holding his hand, I brought him inside the room and made him sit on the sofa on the side of the room.Quickly I went inside the bathroom and brought the firstaid kit and sat on my knees in front of him

I grabbed his hand and started cleaning the blood from his palm The cut was fairly minor, so it didn't look like someone had attacked him.I said as I bandaged his wound

"...Aapko yah hamesha karne ki jarurat nahin hai main Sambhal sakti hun khud Ko .."

( " You don't have to do it... always..I can protect myself...")

He chuckled a little And then said..

"..Dikha mujhe bahut Sambhal rahi thi khud Ko .."

( " Yaa I have just seen how you handled that...")

"..Achcha band kamre ke andar kya ho raha hai aapko kaise pata .."

(" Ohh really...how can you peep into close door....")

I said arguing...

"..Main vo sab nahin jaanta mujhe Bus itna pata hai ki main yahan se Gujar raha tha tab Maine Pramod Ko chillate dekha mujhe aur kuchh nahin socha bs ye kr dia
.....mujhe maloom hai vo kaisa insan hai.."

( " I don't know about that..I just know that I was crossing the way when I heard pramod yelling....and I couldn't think of anything else at the time...I know how pramod is..." )

"..Vaise aapko Bata dun Maine use pahle thappad mara lekin... shukriya aapane Jo Kiya mere liye aur jo Aaj Tak karte a rahe ho .."

( " By the way let me tell you that...I m the one who slapped him first..still thank you for the things you've been doing for me...")

Kuldeep has done a lot for me since I have known him and since he has understood my situation, he has tried his best to get me out of this situation.

Sometimes I feel that he is more desperate than me to get me out of this place ...

Smiling proudly at me, he patted my head with his other hand and smilingly got up from there.

"..Khayal rakho apna aur so jao aaram se...."

( " Take care of yourself and sleep...")

saying this he went away I closed the door and went back to my room and sat on the bed.For a moment, I let my mind wander around random things.I thought about the person who has always been thinking about me I don't know much about Kuldeep, but I have heard from somewhere that he had made a girl pregnant and ran away from here and then the girl he loved betrayed him and left him.I always thought that a person's actions tell about him but I am confused about Kuldeep If we consider his past deeds, then he is probably not  better than Pramod because he has hurt someone's feelings, but if we look at his current actions, then people may change their perspective.I lay down at my place and fell asleep and the last thought that was in my mind before sleeping was of Kuldeep......
