Healing Her Broken Heart✔

1

It was a normal morning for avni-every night she used to wish to never wake up again the next day but life was too cruel to her- neither could she live peacefully nor die easily

She was never the damsel in distress but in past 7yrs adwait had turned her into a mere human body- alive yet dead

Her husband adwait, was a well renowned businessman-but just for the world
Avni had married him against the will of her family but as its said- "never judge the book by the cover" this was the only& the biggest mistake of her life as this is exactly what she did

It had been 7yrs to their marriage which was less of marriage &more of a living hell for her
There was never a night when he didnt force himself on her
She used to scream& shout but nobody cud help bcz his house was soundproof inside out
If he wasnt enough, his mother used to fill the void of his absence &beat her brutally
As for his father, he had died long back- of some chronic disease

Avni had made5 attempts to escape from the house& the marriage but failed bcz everytime she escaped, adwait's men used to find her -by hook or by crook from the darkest corners of the world

Moreover, on her every attempt to escape, after finding her he used beat her brutally
Her body was filled with scars &bruises

She couldnt take the help of police as he had contacts their as well& he cud easily buy all the evidences& proofs
Their werent any witnesses as it all used to happen behind closed door& soundproof walls

She wasnt allowed to go out/socialise much as it might expose adwait's true face in front of the world
Their were 2-3 servants in the house who used to do all the housework- from cleaning to cooking

*****

Same evening-

Avni& adwait were having dinner
His mom had gone out for some work& wont return before a week which was a semi relief for avni bcz though the bruises will be there, the pain will be less this time

The servants knew everything but couldnt do anything bcz of the fear of their families safety being at stake& them being a major breadwinner

Avni didnt want the servants to suffer- that too for something they arent even responsible for so she didnt keep any expectations from them

*****

In bedroom-

Ad(in his usual stern voice-something which was enough for avni to understand that its a command from him)-
I have to attend a business related party tom evening so be ready at home SHARP 8:00 pm- not a minute more

A(in dull tone)- ok

Ad-and yes, plz wear something which looks elegant &covers your scars as well

A-ok

*****

Ad-tumhe yaad h na ke tumhe kya karna h& kya nahi?

Avni just nods
They both enter the hall& adwait is greeted by his colleagues, business partners& few random friends

Keeping a fake smile on her face, avni silently stood next to him- just nodding at intervals

Suddenly she felt the urge to puke
She excused herself while adwait gave her a "dont even think of escaping" look
She nodded &left

Restroom-

Avni spilled everything out-
Though she mostly ended up starving the entire day,(thanks to adwait's mom) yet she spilt everything she ate since morning
She thought of it to be just weakness
But was it just weakness or something more?

She came back& soon everyone had dinner &started leaving
She also left with him

On the way back as well avni wasnt feeling well- she was dizzy but had to stay awake at any costs- thanks to adwait's unpredictable nature

They reached home& after long time god finally showed a little mercy on avni as adwait wasnt in the mood to force himself on her so he changed& simply dozed off to sleep
Avni thanked god for this& went to the dark storeroom- not to fetch anything
Instead, TO SLEEP!

Yes, thats how brutally he treated her
She used to sleep in his room only when he was in the mood
He used to fulfill his physical hunger& then she had to sleep on THE FLOOR in his room while he slept on his king size bed
There wasnt a single window in the storeroom except for a small skylight window

There was hardly any scope for sunlight to enter
It was filled with all the non- usable stuff of the house
If it wasnt for the servants, then the room would've been filled with dust& dirt
This darkness had made her hell scared of the dark

She spread her mattress (chatayi)& lay down on the floor with a worn out bedsheet to cover herself
Looking at the small window& remembering her family, she sobbed the entire night- this wasnt something new to her& had become a part of her colorless half finished life

*****

Next day-

As usual avni got up, freshened up& moved towards​ the kitchen& prepared breakfast
While serving the breakfast, she again felt dizzy &had almost lost her balance when adwait held her, pulled a chair& made her sit on it

Ad- be ready in the afternoon
Im booking an appointment with a gynecologist for you

Avni was thrilled &confused due to the change in adwait's behavior

Ad-bcz if something happens to you, then how will i fulfill my desires he said, with his official dirty smirk

A(to herself)- he will never change& i will never get freedom
But what if my wildest dreams come true?
Avni became extremely worried
