"Swayam is abusive."

Simmi gasped at what she heard. Swayam, of all the others?

"Kriya, you're making some mistake. This can't be. Not Swayam! Y-you know him. You know how he is. This can't be real."

"I don't know Sim. I thought I knew him but I'm not so sure anymore" Kriya frowned as she spoke. Swayam has been her best friend since the first year of college. And now this? "I'm not making any mistake. Have you not noticed how lost she has been of late?"

Simmi nodded. Kriya was right. Sharon was barely there with her whole mind. She'd be physically present but always so inattentive, ever since she had moved in with Swayam.

"And the marks" Kriya continued. "She's always coming with fresh red marks on her skin everyday."

"Well, maybe she got hurt or something," Simmi shrugged being unsure herself.

"No! I saw it. Yesterday there were marks on her wrists only. Today, they were on her arms. BOTH her arms. They weren't there yesterday evening when we finished our rehearsals, Simmi. You got to believe me, I've been noticing."

 "I can't imagine this is happening." Simmi spoke in disbelieve. "Should we talk to her?"

-"Talk to who?"

Their heads moved quickly at the cheerful voice coming from the entrance of the locker room. "What are you girls doing here so late? Its almost an hour since rehearsals ended. You want a drop or something?"

Sharon continued speaking as she picked up her books and keyed her locker. The other two just stared in disbelief. So normal, like nothing happened. It must be killing her inside.

"Sharon" Kriya meekly called out. 

"Is anything wrong?" Sharon moved towards her, placing her hand on Kriya's shoulder then looked at Simmi for a reaction. "Why do you both look so worried?"

"You tell us Sharon." Simmi spoke. "What is wrong?"

Sharon looked at Simmi, confused. "What is?" 

Kriya sighed. "Sharon. Look. We know whats happening okay?"

"O-kay?" she answered, still trying to figure out whats happening. Kriya pulled her towards the bench and both of them sat while Simmi settled on the floor, holding Sharon's hand on her lap.

"And we want you to know that you're never alone" Simmi's voice choked as she spoke. She couldn't believe what her best friend has been going through all this while. "We'll find a way. You can live with me till then."

"Yea. Till we get to the police" Kriya suggested but was cut off abruptly.

"Whoa. Wait" she pulled her hand out of Simmi's. "Okay. Someone has to tell me what's happening. Police!? And Sim, I'm living with Swayam now. Whatever this is about, you know I'm safe with him right?"

"Sharon! Stop it! Please" Simmi was furious by then and it was starting to show. Kriya looked at her, gesturing to keep calm.

"Sharon, this is about Swayam. We know."

Sharon froze.

No!

"Wh-what do you know Kriya" she stammered, unable to meet her gaze.

"About this!" Kriya pulled her arm and eyed at the red horizontal marks on her upper arm. Three. On each side.

"Uh-what" Sharon's voice trembled. Stupid, stupid! 

"I-uhh. I fell."

"Sharon these are clear fingerprints" Simmi said, matter-of-factly.

"Oh these!" She let out a nervous laugh. "Haha..these happened today. While doing lifts. You know how it is."

"No, Sharon don't cover for him. Don't be scared. You're not in this alone. We'll go to the police today itself." Kriya stood up and pulled Sharon out of the locker room. Simmi followed.

The next 2 minutes were a blur inside Sharon's head as they walked towards her car. Unable to think of any other excuses, she decided it was time.

"Wait."

The other two stopped in their tracks and turned to face her. 

"Its not what you're thinking."

"Then what is it?" Simmi asked, raising her eyebrows.

Sharon mentally cursed herself one more time for forgetting to apply enough concealer this morning before starting to talk.

"So Swayam and I" she spoke, alternating her gaze between Kriya and Simmi. "We-uh. This is so embarrassing!" she whined. 

"Sharon just say it"  Kriya curtly replied.

"We were experimenting."

"Experimenting what?" Simmi spoke, still not ready to accept bullshit. "What are you talking about?"

"You know, Sharon eyed. Just. Trying out new things" she felt her face getting warmer. 

"Sharon, please. Elaborate." Kriya's voice was stern. "What is it?"

"Sex." Sharon blurted out. "I cannot believe you guys."

The two stood their, eyes wide. Mouth shut.

"Can I go home now? Please?" Sharon pleaded.

"Wait so. The marks?" Simmi spoke as she felt herself go red. 

"Its all consensual" she answered. "And very embarrassing to talk about can we not. Please."

"No wayy. I can't believe this" Simmi bashfully replied, her lips curving into a shy smile.

Yeah. Thats what I thought too. Sharon said to herself. But she always knew Swayam was an intense lover and somewhere within him there was a dominant streak that just needed to be spurred.

"And you guys were ready to believe that Swayam abuses me. Geez!" Sharon looked at Kriya and widened her eyes asking for a reaction. "Say something!" she laughed shyly. 

"Nothing its just" Kriya giggled. "I had no idea Swayam would have fetishes."

"Oh, you girls have no idea. At times he is insatiable."
