"Thapki.." My headache welcomed me to see a dark room I was thrown on floor. "Thapki... get up" Soon my blurry vision was cleared when I recognized worry gestured face curving smile on me. I felt myself in a warmth, in an embrace, a strong one. "You" I groaned managing my dizziness. "Shh... Thapki be silent" said he. "Don't touch me" I fumed trying to detach myself but failed. "Where am I?" I managed to ask. "In Bauji's prison" He hissed. I didn't yet had gained all my senses. "You are free now... Just run away as faster you can" He said pulling ropes out of my injured wrist. My whole body was aching. Too many questions but I was weak to utter anything. "Water" all I managed to ask for. "You are free now... See there it is kept, have it and run" He shook my body and my eyes again managed to look at him. I lied my head on his chest, his heartbeats... Attracting me again... But no, not this time. "Thapki.... there's the water have some and run" He shook me again pointing at the table in the corner of the dark room. "How merciless you are... Can't you give me water at least?" I fumed. "No I can't... Just run away" He was worriedly spying all the corners glancing carefully.
I managed to get up out of his embrace, to get to the water. After gulping few sips I was somehow relieved. I turned to him after I got some energy. "What is your problem?" I groaned and my legs slipped of weakness.... I ended falling on my chest and my messy hair covered my face. I was weak to get up... So helplessly, I remained lying and spying from behind it. I was shocked to see his hand tied of... A huge chain. But before I could ask anything or analyse the whole scenario, he ordered me to get up and run. I was unable.
"Are you awaken my dear children" a monstery laughter pierced in my ears. Bihaan was terrified. He was also weak but managed to get up. "Listen.... Please leave her.... She's...She's innocent" said Bihaan. They didn't found me awake because of my covered face. "Please I beg you... She's... Not... She's not an orphan like me" He begged and I can sense pain in his cracking voice. "You too have a family Bihaan" another voice entered. I couldn't see his face because of the darkness.
"You cheated me...." Bihaan fumed holding his neck. "She's innocent I said." He was angry. Bauji tried hard to make that man free... "What is your problem??!!!" Bihaan groaned and that man huffed. Lastly, Bauji splashed a wooden rod on his head. He loosed the grip finally and that man inhaled fast breaths. "You are my problem... did you understand that!!! Your attitude... this bloody attitude is my problem" Bauji groaned holding dizzy Bihaan's collar. They shared a death glare. "This attitude is same as the day you broke jug on me... And now you have to pay" He hissed badly fuming at him. I was helpless... just looking at the scenario, helplessly. "Leave her I beg you.... She's innocent" Bihaan cried. "So is you Bihaan" sighed my heart looking at him with my tearful eyes. "No... She did a mistake... A big mistake" Bauji announced. "She did a mistake of supporting you... You remember? You are not taking drugs just because of her sake right??" Bauji fumed "Yes she did" Bihaan sighed agreeably. "And why is she with you??? Why doesn't she hates you till now??" Bauji groaned throwing him. Thankfully he managed not to fall. "She hates me now.... Trust me... She'll... She'll never come to me ever... Let her go" His reply fetched the floor away from me. It means he did all this so.... I... I could... I could hate him!! "You cheated us because of this girl." second man complained. "You weren't injecting drugs to yourself, and was fooling me!!!" frowned the second man squeezing his cheeks. "She doesn't likes it....so... I... I'll do anything but no drugs" He uttered in his dizziness. I felt to cry, I felt to hug him.... "Do you think we are fools?" Bauji groaned slapping him. Bihaan fell on his knees.... "Kill me but leave her" he uttered beside me. "I told you that one day you will crave for death" Bauji laughed and both of them left. He slipped and fell on his chest behind me. "I'll never.... never.... let anyone harm you Thapki" He hissed softly tugging my messy hair but before he could analyse that I'm awake and aware of everything his eyes were closed. Resting his heavy, tied, trembling hand on my cheek. "Bihaan" I caressed his injured hand on my cheek. They had tied him so badly with the chain so that he can roam inside the prison but couldn't reach even to water. My weak hands managed to reach to his cheeks and I analysed the wounds of fight on his cheekbone and chin, near his lips. He must also was here till the day I am. Oh Bihaan. Soon the darkness absorbed me again.
