Manik is the reason.
Nooooooooooo.
It's not possible.

"Stay away from me" I said when he was trying to come over me.

I was crying miserably because what else could I do.

"Agar tumhare husband ne kal meri yeh halat na ki hoti,toh mein bhi tere saath yeh nahi karta nandu!" He said.

Means kal raat Manik came here.

"Pyaar karta huh mein tujhse Nandini,
Bohot zyada" He said kissing me on any place he found when I was pushing him away.

"Manik" I shouted again hoping he would hear me.

"Papa" I called for papa.

Someone save me.

"Nilay mujhe jaane do, please" I said almost begging him to leave me.

"No babe,not anymore" He said and kissed me on my arm almost tearing my kurti apart from the back.

Maybe it wasn't what was happening to me,
It was who was doing it.

My childhood friend who I trusted with all I had.

"Koi aao please" I shouted again crying,I was drained.

"Koi nai aayega,chod do na Manik ko aur aa jao mere paas" He said wrapping his arm around me almost digging his nails.

"I'm married to him Nilay and I love him" I said pushing him away.

Each touch of his disgusted me.
I was dying everytime he touched me.

Manik,papa,mumma,bhai koi toh aao.

I had no capacity in me to shout anymore.
My hands were falling weak.

Nilay was touching me on my back which was almost bare now.

"Nilay stop it please" I begged to him joining my hands, crying.

Dhak dhak dhak.

Suddenly someone was banging the door.

"Nandini" Came a voice,A voice I was dying to hear.
Manik.

"Manik" I said lowly,voice wasn't even coming out of my mouth.

"Nilay stop" I shouted as Nilay dragged me to some corner.

"Just shut up" Nilay said and started tying my hands with a rope.

"Manik" I shouted again.

"Yes Nandini,open the door please" He said.

Nilay had tied my hands and legs.

"Manik I can't" I said.

"Try kar Nandu" Bhai said.

They were still banging the door.
In no time,Nilay ran away from the small window that was there.

"Manik,woh chala gaya" I shouted crying.

"Koi baat nahi, I'm coming don't cry" He said.

____________________________

I rammed into the door and broke it.
I had no other choice.

The opened for me to see something that I never wanted to see in my entire life.

My life,my love tied with ropes, clothes ripped apart,eyes without their usual glow.

The ladies went towards her while both our dads called police and the boys went to find Nilay.

I didn't have the courage to look into Nandini's eyes.
I didn't have the courage to look at her disheveled state.

"Police aa rahi hai" announced dad as went towards Nandini.

"Living room mein chalte hai" Papa said after they were all done with consoling Nandini.

They all went outside the storeroom living me alone.

Mums were crying badly was what I noticed.
Both the girls were really emotional.

But what mattered at that time was Nandini.

"Chal na Manik, Nandini ke kapde change karvane hai we've to get her cleaned" Mukti said and held my hand dragging me towards the room where they took her.

She was sitting on the bed looking down.

"We're leaving kuch chaiye toh awaaz lagana" Aliya whispered in my ear and I nodded.

They went locking the door behind.

I gathered some courage and went towards her and sat towards her knees.

"Hey baby" I said softly as I sat.

"Queens never look down" I said raising her chin from my hand.

She just stood up without saying anything and went to the washroom.

I sat on the bed sighing.

It's going to be so hard to mend my broken angel,but I will!

And that MotherFucker is so gone.
