"If it's a man?" I asked.

"If you're stuck with a man, kick him where it hurts." He closed his eyes dramatically.

"Where does it hurt?" I didn't understand and I slapped his face to stop acting and to open his eyes.

"Don't you know?" He bit his lower lip by squeezing his eyes.

"No." I shook my head no.

"Give me your sandwich and I'll tell you." He held out his hands for my sandwich.

What the hell?

This is not in his condition.

Well, this is my need, so I must give him whatever he asks.

I placed my sandwich in his palm and he took a bite and chewed like a goat to annoy me.

"Tell me." I raised my voice.

He took a bite before saying,
"Kick at his crotch."

▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

I shot opened my eyes and saw the merciless man sitting on top of me taking off his belt.

I didn't waste a second, summoning all the power I had left inside me, I kicked straight into his crotch. He curled up on the floor with his hands on his crotch.

My one kick is enough for him.

I ran out of the cursed room crying and he stood up and followed me and I ran down the stairs and crashed into someone.

Those hands grabbed me reflexively and I think I was in another mighty trouble.

I tried to move back but the he pulled me closer to him and I looked up and saw, my father's face.

Everything is over.

Arnav came to the resort and almost killed Manu in front of my eyes, he beat him till he bled. If the police had not come that time Manu would have died by now under the blows of that military soldier.

Now I am in the safest place in this world, sitting in my room. Just five hours ago I said my final goodbye to this room.

The house where the wedding ceremony was to be held became like a house where a funeral was held.

Pain is felt all over my body. I don't know how long I was in that room with that monster. Five seconds? Ten minutes? I never thought he would turn out to be such a ruthless man.

I can't imagine what would have happened if dad hadn't stepped up on the floor.

Nightmare. Whatever that happened today is a nightmare. Forget it and sleep well Rishma. Gathering the courage to move on, I decided to get a good sleep.

I wiped my tears and buried my face in the pillow. I waited for the sleep.

Tossed and turned left and right. There was no change. I covered with a blanket. Minutes later I felt intense heat inside the blanket and I pushed the blanket away. I opened my eyes and sat on the bed.

A part of me is still stuck in that hotel room.

I clearly remember everything that happened inside the room until I ran out of the room.

I feel the intense pain coursing through my veins and blood.

My hands slowly traced on my cheeks, those slaps.
