LIGHT IN MY LIFE OF DARKNESS

CHAPTER 22

KIARA'S POV:

Bhai told me to come to his office in the afternoon and he told me that he has a surprise for me.

The next day Abhi informed me that his di and his father will be coming tomorrow to meet me. So I asked them to come to Rohan's office and uncle is very sweet, funny and caring and he loves me like his own daughter.

When I went inside with Melissa, I was shocked to see Chris, Katherine di, Maria, Rahul, Vikram, Gaurav, Adhrija.

"Why did Anirudh not come?"I asked them.

"Someone needs to take care of the company right and even the orphanages. " Chris replied.

It has been few months since I saw all of them together. We were talking for some time and then bhai suddenly raised the topic which I had been avoiding for the past 2 years.

"Don't you think that even they have the right to know what happened to you? " Bhai questioned me and all their heads snapped towards me.

"What are you talking about Rohan?" Rahul questioned.

"Bhai no please Bhai." I begged him.

"What are you talking about?" Gaurav questioned with authority.

"No Kiara. They were with you on each step and they have the right to know." Bhai answered.

I finally gave up and mustering all my courage I started saying them my most dreadful past.

I was not only a broken person  but a person who was kept in dark by my own family. I started business under bhai's and bhabhi's name as they were my second parents.

In one year only, I was a top businesswoman and was known for coldness, ruthlessness.

"I was going somewhere and suddenly someone injected something on my neck. Then suddenly everything blacked out.

I was taken to a place which was like a basement.

I was treated very well. I did not know why they kidnapped me. Then the next day one person came and took me with him. You know what that person did? He took a stick and started beating me. I was not feeling as you all know that I was emotionless and did not even pain when someone slapped me or hit me. So I asked them why they bought me here. You know what reply they gave me? They told just for some revenge they wanted to have. But I got to know that they were hired because they were saying on the call that yes she is with us and we will give 3-degree treatment but we will continue our business. I do not know who they were, why they were talking about some revenge because in that 1 year I never hurt or betrayed a person.

They asked me to consume some tablets forcefully and I refused. I started hitting them and biting them. I was very stubborn to take them so they dissolved it and injected it. It affected like even if something was done in front of me, even though I did not do anything I will see it as if I have committed it. Total hallucinations.

You all know that I held myself a little bit responsible after those tablets were injected. That accident used to come in front of my eyes and I'd slap myself to stop that. But it used to not stop and every day it was torturous to hold myself responsible for jiju's death.

Then they brought another 2 girls they were Meher and Siya. 

They started beating Meher and Siya in front of me.

They used to pour acid and start beating them and treat their wounds and continue beating them. You know, it used to appear as if I was doing it due to the effect of those tablets. I was losing my mental stability.

You know bhaiya, physical maybe little less painful but mentally I was going mad bhaiya. Every day those things used to replay in my mind as if I have committed all of them.

Bhaiya they raped Siya in front of my own eyes. She was hardly even 16 and she could not bear it and she died in front of my own eyes. She was the little sister of Meher and you know before they used to beat her every day at night but still, she used to come to sit beside me because everyone knew how madly I used to suffer. she used to say, di you were not at fault it was because of those medicines to think like that so please forget. So that I could reduce my pain, she used to play with me or say about her family and she used to sleep in my lap as she has a habit on sleeping on her mother's lap and Meher was very badly injured to take care of her and in that 1 month, she was like a daughter to me, like how I was to bhabhi. I used to slap myself, hurt myself with sharp objects around me so that those hallucinations can stop. But everyday her death used to appear in front of me, her death affected me a lot bhai. After her death, Meher became more vulnerable and she gave up and she was very guilty that she was not able to save her sister. They started hitting me badly.

Bhai they chained a girl beside me and they raped her, then they started beating her very badly. They were punching her in the stomach and pulled her hair and kicked due to which she became unconscious. But they did not stop. One person took out his belt and started bashing her very badly and they repeated this for few girls. They took all the girls' dignity except mine and Meher. When you came that day, we both were going to get raped Bhai." I stopped when I heard the sound.

I heard a thud sound and it was Gaurav who lost his balance. Bhai helped him to sit and he was going to come near me but I showed him my palm because I do not want to stop now at all. Because, my torture has been bugging me from the past 2 years and I do not want someone to see me vulnerable. It may be my own family or the people closest to my heart.

Then I started continuing....

"You know bhai, they gave a dosage which lasted for one year even though I was saved. But I was still living, those  hallucinations kept bugging me   for a month, those days were  like hell Bhai. After you saved me, it was very bad as I used to hallucinate every day that I was responsible for Bhai and bhabhi's death. That time Rahul handled me for one month when I suffered the most even though he did not know the reason. After that one month, those hallucination still did not stop for 10 months but they were decreasing as I used to take some medication.

I was missing everyone Bhai. You know that accident which took place and jiju pushed me aside and he became the victim of the accident. It was a planned accident bhaiya. That kidnapper himself told me in that one month that the person who hired them has some revenge against me and my family, so he did everything to hurt them by hurting me. But he did not know that I was thrown out of my family.

You know bhaiya, I used to hurt myself but I did not shed a single teardrop. I was welcomed into the darkness which I was recovering from. After Siya's death, I was a resident of the dark world.

It became my home, still everyday I remember that small child's death bhai.
There is not a single day that I do not remember bhai and bhabhi."

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IS THAT NEVER STOP TRUSTING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLOSE TO YOUR HEART. BECAUSE THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND YOU. TRY TO THINK FROM SECOND PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW AND NEVER JUMP INTO CONCLUSIONS. WHAT PRERNA HAD WAS LACK OF TRUST ON HER DAUGHTER. TRY TO LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY AND EVEN THEN IF U FEEL THAT SHE IS NOT THE PERSON WHO IS GUILTY THEN TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND THEN TAKE A STEP AHEAD. BUT NEVER TAKE A DECISION IN HASTE BECAUSE IT WILL DESTROY YOU WITH GUILT IN SOME POINT OF TIME. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT GUILT CREATES IN OUR LIFE. GUILT IS A SMALL 5 LETTER WORD BUT IT WILL INDIRECTLY DESTROY YOU.

THEY SAY RIGHT. ONLY SMALL THINGS HAVE A LENGTHY MEANING.
