He trembled at his sight, he realised she wasn't there, the stuffed toy was on the floor, he was too scared to move from the bed, the uncle walked in, shutting the door behind him, locking it, aunt wasn't home, she wasn't close by for him, the uncle had his hands folded behind him, stepping closer to the little boy, having the wicked grin on his face, he sat down on the bed beside the little boy, who wanted to move away,
"Move an inch..."he brought out the knife, using its edge to trace the little boy's face, he whimpered,
"Youre beloved aunt isn't here you know..."his deep voice said, making a very strong impact on the boy, his fear doubled,
"Uncle.....whhhyyy....why do you hate me?" He asked in a trembling voice, which was choked with tears.
"Because! Because!! Your father didn't think once before trying to send me to prison, if my wife! My wife, didn't beg him, he.....I hate him! And his wealth, his wealth, he put all in your name, leaving zero for me, or your beloved aunt... I can not lay my hands on it, unless.."he sat back on the bed, pointing the knife to his neck..."unless you're gone...and now...I have the opportunity, " he said, reaching in his back pocket he pulled out an injection,"now, be a good boy, "he said picking the little boy's hand , the boy already began to cry as he took the needle to his skin, the little boy shutting his eyes...... don't let him do it, don't let him... her voice being faint in his ear, echoed, he quickly pushed his hand away, running to the door, fiddling with the locks, fear gripped him, sweating all over, the uncle growled in the room, before he got up, the little boy opened the door, and fled, running as far as he could, but he was only little and his predator huge and monstrous, the uncle grabbed him by the collar, dragging him to the stairs,
"You bastard !!"he screamed, pushing him down, he rolled, hitting his body every where, screaming for help,my he uncle ran after him, picked him up again, and dragged him to the same room, the dark room, he didn't use a belt this time, he had different punishments for the boy, different tools to use, he grabbed the long chain hanging by the locked windows, the boy was screaming in pains,
"Shout all you want, no one will rescue, not even the Lord,"he said, force fully, after much struggles ties him the the pillar in the center of the room, and picked the whip, plaited to be thick and heavy, like the belt, he folded it in his hands
"Uncle please....please...please uncle..,.,I..I...illll...so as you say..." the uncle was driven by rage , burning anger, he didnt pay anymore attention, he raised the whip and landed it on his back, "aaaahhhhh" the little boy screamed, his eyes had no more tears to spare, the uncle being unsatisfied, tore the little boy's shirt off, he folded the whip again, raising it and landing it on his back, harder than the last, "aaaahhhhh....ha....ha.."he screamed, he broke down this time the tears flooded his eyes, the uncle repeated this same thing for a long time until he got tired, threw the whip aside and glared down at the boy,
"You defied me! You went against my wish!! You...."he grabbed his hair in his fingers, pulling his hair from the roots, "scoundrel! I will make your life miserable, I'll kill you myself, this....all this. .."he threw his head away from his grip and got up, raising his hands to the ceiling, " will be mine! All mine! And you....you will join your parents up there, you shall not eat anything! Nothing! No water for you! You shall rot in here," he screamed and stormed off, the little boy could hear from afar, the door lock, the keys shaking, it became a faze to him, the room began to spin...
"Momma....mo...."he fell to his side, unconscious. He opened them the first time to see a shadow, in the same veil, a white veil, she was the same girl, he shut them and reopened them to see her , she sat beside him, and he jolted away,
"Dont be afraid..."
"He...he'll..he's not nice "
"I know," she placed the cold towel on his bruised back,
"Owwww" he whinced in pain "Who are you?"
"I don't know"
"How don't you know? Why are you always around me?"
"I have no clue" he left her, sitting up straight ,
"No matter how in need I am of help, I won't accept it from you,"
"Your problem is you are stubborn," she said dropping the towel on the floor in anger, and getting up, "mend your ways," she said calmly now, he could feel the softness in her voice, the calmness and care behind it,"don't blame yourself for everything, free yourself from your past by building a happier future with a guilt free you, accept the happiness that is right in front of you...." he saw her fade away instantly, her voice echoing through the room, the little boy wakes up to realize he's on aunt's legs,
"Aunt" he cried wrapping his wounded arms around her,
"Son,"she called out in a whisper, crying too, "I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to leave you alone,"
"He whipped me so hard,"he cried, "he tied me up with the chain,"
"I'm so sorry, so sorry," they heard loud banging on the door, his little arms tightened around her, it was in the middle of the night, he broke the door down, raging and fuming, throwing every single thing on the floor, before he stood in front of her,
"Give him to me! "
"Stop this Raj! Please!"
"Sanjana! Don't let me release my fury onto you, you won't like it!" She pushed the little boy behind her getting up,
"You will not touch this boy!"
"He isn't your son! You're showing more love to him! Instead of finding a way to conceive kids of your own! Get our of way!" He growled, she did not move, he broke a bottle in the room,
"Let him go!"
"Kill me Raj! Do it! But don't lay a hand on this boy! He's don't nothing wrong to you!" He stepped closer and she went backward, until they were against the wall,
"Push him to me, "he said quietly, the boy was already shivering behind her, it had only been two hours since the last beating, he hasn't recovered from it yet, he threw the bottle aside, grabbed her hand, locked her up in their room, fuming back to the little boy, with red eyes and balled fists,
"You rascal!" His nightmare had a change now, as he wanted to grab the boy, she stepped in,
"Not one hand on him,"
"Ha! Ha ha ha ha ha,"he laughed wickedly,"you found yourself some friends...pretty ones too....listen here girl, get out of here!" She spread her hands wide in front of the little boy, her head and face covered, "I'm serious girl!" He gritted his teeth, he went close to her, grabbed her hand, and threw her aside, leaving the boy, he went to her, picked her up again,
"Who are you! Tell me who you are! "He struggled to take her veil off, the weak little boy didnt move from his spot, some part of him also wanted to know who she was...
