Ananya was sitting on floor hearing everything that Karan was saying. Now she isn't crying,  it's only a lifeless, emotionless Ananya who is slowly realising that her whole five years of marriage life was a lie. She couldn't understand whether to laugh or cry or just let out her anger by doing something.

" You should be pure, untouched and not even Gautham has the permission to touch you infact no one should touch up. That was the only condition he kept infront of us while agreeing for that much money " 

Ananya scoffed sadly hearing that. Five years living with Gautham not even once he tried to get intimate with Ananya. She always wondered why he is not interested in her. 

At first she thought that he has some issues and stupidly tried many local medicines from village without his knowledge but nothing changed. Many times she had to fought with him about this matter especially when they appear together for any functions in village Annu has to take all tauntings from mother in law and other people for not giving them a baby. They even called me a barren women for which she used cry at  nights watching Gautham..... All these happened because of a business deal. Other than laugh what she should do ?
Ananya  never belonged to Gautham. He was only a watching dog of his master to protect me.

" For five years why your so called master didn't came for me ? After all he was ready to spend 20 crores for a girl like me " Ananya asked in a weak sound.

" Actually..... Gautham was hiding you Ananya. That village was safest to hide you. If for long five years he could hide you from our masters then it's only that village can do it. If you remember well ....... Gautham never allowed you to go outside from there. He never took you out, he never allowed you to meet your friends and also opposed your friends to come and meet you. When he allowed you to complete your masters he didn't sent you to any far collages even though you had better options to study with scholarship and that's in national institutes. When Gautham leaves for work he never came back home regularly. Only after few weeks or took more than a week. That's because he is leaving from his work only when our master won't be there or hiding from him. "

" Our master....... He is a dangerous animal who don't have a bit of humanity in him. Other than hurting people he don't know anything. You see my condition......... " Karan pointed his hand towards his face.

" I got all these gift from him. He won't kill people quickly instead he likes to play with theme by torturing them giving all pain. He enjoys that because I saw him laughing when I screamed with pain and begged for my life. " Ananya gulped a lump from her throat in fear and stared at Karan nervously. She could hear her own screams inside her mind bearing the pain that monster was giving her. She felt like her whole body was on fire with pain.

" Now he wants to know where is Gautham so he can get you. Anytime his men will catch me then kill me. That night which Gautam met with accident actually everything was a trap. His men almost find about the village in which he was hiding you and they were coming to get you. " Ananya suddenly get alerted and a sudden fear rushed through out her body.

" It happened because of our greed. We wanted more money so that we can become rich in a short time and that greed made our life like this. We were sure that our master is ready to pay anything to get you  but for a second we also forget that with whom we are playing our game "

" Money which Gautham took from you without your permission  he gave that to those goons. He thought to make a deal with them and sent those goons back but Gautam itself fell into that trap. They were only waiting to kill Gautham through an accident. But it didn't worked so they beat him up  and left in the middle of the road to die. I ran from there with my life and money to meet our master to beg and spare our life. He asked me to get you for him and kill Gautham then he offered to take the whole money for myself. It's true I became selfish for a second but I was fed up with this life Ananya. When I was child my family doesn't even had enough money to give me food for atleast one time. No new clothes for festivals. Living a life in poverty I believed only money can make everyone happy. Money is all that you need in your life  but that wasn't true. Only hard earned money through right path can give you happiness. There is no short way to get them  " Ananya was still emotionless but on Karan's face she could see all regret, pain and hope to start a new life from pit.
