WHEN THE ROYAL BOWED DOWN TO LOVE(COMPLETED) #ICA

A WOMAN AND HER LOVE

Khushi had made Payal sit on the bench in the lawn and was trying her best to calm down her friend who was crying nonstop while clutching her hands tightly..

It was getting too much for Khushi to handle.. It was hurting her to see her friend in such a state and she was angry as well.. Well angry because she had seen those finger imprints on her wrist and she just wanted to sue the person who was responsible for it..

Payal.. You need to speak up.. These tears aren't going to help you.. She said to her friend tenderly..

Payal looked in her friend's eyes and she knew that she has a support now.. She need not bear this all alone.. Atleast she can open it up to someone now..

She held her hand and said-
Its killing me Khushi.. I can't take it anymore..
The pain.. The humiliation..
Its becoming unbearable now..

Khushi was in tears listening to it.. She had an idea about what is she talking.. Still.. She needed clearance regarding it..

Who is responsible for this Payal?

Khushi asked which made Payal alerted.. She stood at once and said with little stammer..

No.. No one Khushi.. Nothing is.. Is wrong..

Khushi lost her calm when Payal denied to speak even though she knew that Khushi is in a way aware of her sufferings..

She turned her towards herself and said little angrily-
Stop it Payal..
I know something is majorly wrong with you..
I want you to be out of it.. I want to help you..

But I can do that only if you speak..

She then held Payal's hands and asked politely-

Tell me Payal..

Is Shyam behind all this?
Is he not treating you well?

Treating well?
He considers me as a pet tied in a corner of the house.. Payal finally chose to break her silence..

What?

Then.. Why the hell are you still with him? Khushi asked shocked.. With the information and with Payal's decision as well..

Do I have a choice Khushi?
M married to him.. Payal said while wiping her tears..

What the hell Payal?

Is that really you saying so?

I cant believe it..
Are you the same girl who worked for Woman Welfare during her college days?
Khushi was losing it more and more.. Along with Shyam.. She was angry on Payal as well because her friend Payal was a fighter.. A brave modern woman and this woman standing infront of her was no one was an enemy of herself who chose to burn herself in agony..

You have no idea what I have been through Khushi.. Payal said bitterly with her puffy eyes..

Then give me the idea.. Khushi said while placing an assuring hand on her shoulder..

Please Khushi. Just let it be.. Payal said now little scared.. She knew if Khushi persuades her more.  She won't be able to keep it within herself and although she desperately wanted to do so.. She couldn't..

So she just said honestly-

I can't..

Please Khushi.. Just go before my control dam breaks..
