(WARNING: BLOOD AND ABUSE)

(TV Sounds)

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way

Oh! What fun, it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Hey! ~

Bengaluru city is filled with Christmas spirit. Churches and malls are bustling with happy crowds. The glimmer around has made the night a shimmery day. We can't wait for Santa to visit, can we? Hahahaha! This is Jonah reporting live...

"Are you nuts, Miss Roy? Why is the TV on? And why are you in the hall when you know I'll come today?" The smell of booze filled the air. The kind of smell that irritates her the most. The kind of smell which is also a warning that her day is going to be ruined

"The TV said that Santa would visit tonight. Fu*k my luck... I see you!" Sanskriti smirked in displeasure

She increased the volume of the television and spread her legs onto the coffee table lounging on the sofa while covering herself with a thick blanket

"You won't listen, do you?" Pavan unbuckled his waist belt and warned again. "Do you believe that I can strip you off your skin, Miss Roy?

"And do you believe that I can push you off the stairs, Mister Aroha?" Sanskriti replied nonchalantly

"You'll be buried in the basement tonight" Pavan was fuming with anger. He came closer to her with wavy steps

"You're high Mister Aroha. You are forgetting that I can do the same"

"Bit*h-"

He was high and enraged. Pavan was not in his senses. He whipped his belt and ripped Sanskriti's skin, so much that blood oozed. He pulled her hair and dragged her to the coffee table. The vases shattered, the cloth on the table tore. He slapped her in intervals and stamped her feet with his shoes

"Your mother, that sl*t fu*ked up with another man. How embarrassed do you both h*es make me" he mouthed in disdain

Sanskriti's eyes were icy; unchanged. Not a single drop of water would go down those cheeks. She won't cry by this torture. She let him do his thing until she got up and broke his hold from her. She pushed him to the ground with force. He tripped on his wavy legs and he passed out

She sat back on the sofa covering herself with the blanket and watched the television like nothing happened. Like it was normal. Like she was done for the day and now she can sit peacefully.

As she watched, slowly, she fell asleep.

An hour has passed, and Reeth had planned to visit Sanskriti who is also his neighbor by giving her a Christmas surprise. He came to Sanskriti's house with a red Santa cap, a gift in his hand and adorning a huge smile on his face

Reeth rang the doorbell a few times, but the door didn't open. The security helped him to get in as he was the most familiar face in the neighborhood to visit the Aroha house

"SURPRISE!" He smiled and just in a second, he was appalled to see the sight in front of him.

The TV was on. Pavan was on the floor with a spilled alcohol bottle beside him. Sanskriti was on the sofa and the whole house was a mess
