The 1:00 am confession !

at home

Once we reached home. We took Nidhi to bed. She fell asleep really quickly, and we stayed up in the hall.
I had made coffee for us and did not wish to switch on the at all. We talked about what had happened and how we could adjust to these situations.
We decided to apply for the visa to U.K . That would be a place away from everyone and the people.
Ryan searched out for all the possible ways and the fastest way to do so.
And I was planning about getting married to him so that it wouldn't be a problem about people talking about us in a live in relationship. I knew it I wasn't generalising or caring about what the people said. But for our safety.

We slept at around 2 am .
The next day I woke Nidhi up, she got freshened and then I spoke to Ryan, he was glad I decided to get married and he too was ready after all I was old enough, mature, and could earn a living. We both in fact could do so.
We told Nidhi about this and it all happened so quickly. She was a bit startled by the decision but to she accepted it and was happy for us.

We left for work together and asked her not to open the door no matter whoever came.
She was quite confident. And now I'm glad that we could do it.

In the evening when we returned, she had made coffee and tea for us already. And I was so proud of her.
I then went into the room with her as Ryan went to get showered . For a few days we decided to live in my apartment .

I slowly asked Nidhi about what all had happened when I was away and she started stammering.

She told me about how she was physically harassed by father and his friends and she could do nothing about it. I was shocked to hear this. I cold believe my ears. She mentioned how they used to tie her up, force her to work and what not. They even made her keep quiet.
This was insane.
I knew not what should I tell Ryan and tried to calm Nidhi down as she was sobbing hard.

We decided to eat at home tonight, and so I quickly made some pasta and garlic breads because everyone loved it.
After we had dinner I helped Nidhi get to sleep and started collecting the utensils.
Ryan came into the kitchen while I was doing the dishes and asked me if Nidhi was alright.
I shook my head. And tears started dropping.
He held me and asked "what happened?"
I described everything she told me .

He responded by saying "we'll have to take some action!"
He hugged me comforting me and kissed me tenderly. I knew he felt my tear drops and looked up to wipe them off.
All I did was gave him a gentle smile.
