For just a second, I want you to close your eyes. Now imagine a different time and a different place, in the vast depths of outer space. In a different reality lies such a beautiful kingdom, with many different planets in a new solar system. Unlike here where on Earth we reside, there were inhabitants everywhere, and everywhere of different kinds. The true difference between our solar system and theirs; was that these people were given gifts that were beyond compare. They had the power of water, fire, earth, and air. There was gravity, lunar, electricity, and more of the rare. Different people with different powers share them all, and they would all convene on the planet Mangal (*mon-gul*). This planet in the Center is ruled by two brothers, Whose powers made them so different from each other. One was Lumus with the power of Creation, other was Nox, with the power of devastation. Such a beautiful planet with all these people living within, but this isn't their story, so let the real one begin.
"Kapde utar," he said coldly.
["Strip"]
Dhimahi's hands shook as she reached for her dupatta. There was no point resisting. She knew it.
But she was too slow.
Trayambak stormed towards her, ripped her kurti, and forced her down to her knees.
"Muh khol."
["Open your mouth"]
She looked up at him, her eyes full of fear, pleading silently.
"Mere paas duniya bhar ka samay nahi hai, muh khol, warna mujhe aur bhi tareeke aate hai," he snapped, grabbing her hair again with one hand and slapping her lightly with the other.
["I don't have all the time in the world- open your mouth, or I know other ways to make you,"]
She was empty now. Her tears kept falling, but she didn't fight. She couldn't. Like always, she did what she was told.
Because Trayambak wasn't a husband.
He was a monster.
And she was trapped.
