Ezhilarasi pov:
"I will" I heard a voice which is coming from the back.
I turned, I mean we all turned and seen at the entrance. There stood a man.
Did I know him. I have seen him somewhere. But where??
Anna made me to stand, I just kept looking at the man who is standing.
"Hey bulky boy, give me a way" I heard another girlish voice.
Then a girl popped from back of that man, I kept looking at her.
She
She that girl..... That girl who me and Vihaan saved from getting raped right....
Moni... Monisha yeah.
"You are my younger brother, but here you were standing in tall like a pine tree" I heard her voice.
Suresh Anna laughed at their bickering. I turned towards him he stopped his laughing.
*Throat cleared sound *I cleared my throat.
That girl turned and seen me. Then she immediately runned towards me and hugged me tightly.
"Akka" she shouted at me.
"Akka?" I heard suresh Anna voice.
"Yes do you have any problem in that Mr??" monisha asked suresh Anna.
Anna looked shocked at her questioning level. I controlled my laugh.
"Do you remember me" she asked me.
"How are you sweety?" I asked her.
"It's my nickname" came midhuna's voice from behind.
"It's mine too" monisha argued with my daughter by kneeling down in the floor.
Midhuna came towards me and hugged my legs.
"Hi sweety" monisha said to her.
"Hello" saying this midhuna shyly hided behind my legs. Awww.
"Oh my god. She is sooo cute" saying this monisha scooped midhuna in her arms. Midhuna kept seeing monisha with her big doe eyes. Monisha started to kiss midhuna.
"She is soo cute" monisha again chirped at us. I kept looking at her.
Indeed my daughter is cute. She is cute for her antics. Every child is cute. Every child is beautiful. I thought myself.
"Mumma who is she" midhuna asked me.
"Let me introduce myself. Am Monisha aka Pragathi. If you call me Pragathi, I will be very happy. As monisha is my mom name, she is no more so my dad will get sad once he heard this name. So don't call me with that name. So yeah am Pragathi, am working as an HR in XYZ company. My dad name is Bharath who is wrking in private company. And, this moron is my younger brother just by 2 mins. Whose name is Vishal...... " Pragathi stopped.
" Mumma who is she "midhuna again asked.
We all laughed after seeing Pragathi face. As she gave 'am I joke to you' face towards midhuna.
" Mumma" she tried to come out of Pragathi clutch.
"Sweety, don't worry I won't do anything" saying this pragathi hugged midhuna tightly.
Pragathi is one beautiful girl. Because she is having the lean figure with exact color complexion which everyone praised. Mmmm. So I don't know how many hearts she breaked. Hahaaa.
"Midhuna come to suresh mama(uncle)" Anna tried to scoop midhuna from Pragathi. But Pragathi turned.
"Mister" Pragathi said at Anna. Anna kept glaring at her.
"Two useless morons, where are you guys" another voice came. What is happening here.
We all turned towards the entrance and seen that an old man were standing with two luggages in his hand.
He is pragathi dad right. I remembered him.
"Appa" pragathi and Vishal both uttered at the same time.
"What appa. Come and collect your bags. You both were yound guys, but here am taking your bags. Such a useless creatures I must say" he said.
"You go" pragathi said at Vishal.
"Better you go. Give that small girl to me. She is looking so adorable. You know me right. Am fan of a small childrens more than you. Give her to me, I want to play with her" visual said.
"No I won't" pragati said.
"Ahh, am tired of your bickerings. Atleast please show some mercy towards your father ungreatful brats." uncle shouted.
Anna immediately gone towards uncle and get some luggage from his hand. Abinash too gone and helped him. I kept looking at them.
What is happening here.
Wait.
Something he said like 'I will' right.
I immediately gone before that vishal and stood before him. Who is arguing with her sister for my daughter.
"Vishal" I called out his name.
He stopped and turned towards me. And smiled at me.
"Hi akka" he said to me with a bright smile in his face.
"What you said that I will. What that does mean" I asked h desperately.
"Oh that's, actually we heard your conversation akka. Wait I can call you as akka right" he said. I nodded my head.
"Akka" saying this he hugged me tightly.
But
But my heart stopped. Am not meant to this hugs and all.
My shivering started. My whole body started to tremble. He might have sensed it, because he immediately started to call me.
"Akka akka what happened" he asked me.
Anna immediately came to my side and started to console me by hugging me.
"Breath iniya Breath" Anna said to me. I just nodded my head. I can't come out of that dark past. I can't. I can't socailaise. I can't.
I can't never be a normal human being. I cant
My tears were drenching his shirt.
"Mumma" I heard midhuna's voice. She kept on calling my name.
Once I become normal. Pragathi came towards me and gave midhuna to me.
Pragathi and vishal looks like they have seen some ghost
I don't know whether to laugh or cry right now.
"Am sorry akka" I heard visual voice.
"It's okay. I.... Actually...." I stopped as I don't know what to say to him.
Midhuna grabbed my face and kept on kissing my lips.
"Mumma pease do.. Don't... Cry... Appa and midhuna hate it" I heard midhuna voice.
I wiped her tears and consoled her. When everything looks fine,i tried to speak.
"Vishal, why are you like this" uncle started to twist Vishal ears.
"He is bad boy appa" pragathi said to her dad.
"You are a bad girl. Am not." Vishal shouted at her.
"We three were better it seems" suresh Anna said. I hugged him tightly. Abinash came towards us.
"Yes Anna" he said.
"Can we all take a seat" uncle asked.
"Yes uncle. Am sorry, I forget" I said to him. He smiling nodded his head and tapped my head.
We all settled somehow in the sofa.
"Akka, am sorry again" Vishal said.
"Abish mama I want to play" midhuna said. Abinash took her from me.
I nodded my head at Vishal.
"It's not your problem. It's.. Its... Act
... Actually mine. I...... I..." I stopped.
"Leave that. What is you were saying. Can you say. Please something regarding Vihaan's case right. " I asked Vishal.
"Yeah akka, actually am a lawyer" he said.
"What" I shouted.
"Really" I stood up.
"Yeah akka, fortunate yes. The only good thing he has done still now is that he choose his carrier towards lawyer, so now he can help you all right. " pragathi said. Her dad laughed.
"But akka, am not a well versed lawyer. Am just joined as a junior under Manish sir. I know you don't know him. But what am trying to say is. Am a lawyer, but doesn't have much practice." Vishal said.
"It's okay. Actually we don't even going to get one. But atleast you are there for us. Wait, when everyone is against Vihaan. Why you were trying to help us" I asked them incredulously. What if they came because of that pr....
No no.
They can't be right.
"Akka did you forget. Vihaan Anna is the one who helped me from getting raped. He and you are the reason that am still sitting and speaking. Or else I don't know whether I will be alive or not" her voice started to quiver. Vishal hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Calm down pragathi" he said at her. Her dad too were consoling her.
When I think back, I didn't have one to console me. Only akka is there. But at night time I don't have anyone beside me. It's cruel.
The same goes for Vihaan.
My tears were started to flow.
"It's our payback time akka" pragathi said.
"But, when everyone is against Vihaan. Why you... How you were believing him" I asked them.
"How can I not" pragathi said in different tone.
"How can I not" she again said.
"When he is the one who helped me. That you already knows. But you don't know whatever he did to me it seems." she said.
"What... What he did I mean Vihaan" I asked them.
"He helped me akka. He put those bastards behind the bar. He came to our home next day and asked me to be brave. Then he took me to police station to file a complaint against them. And also he took me to some therapy session. He took me akka." pragathi said.
Vihaan you are a gem.
You are.
You are.
Am a wife of a very good human being. Midhuna is having the world's best dad.
I need him. I need to wrap my hands over his torso. I want to hug him tightly.
Am lucky.
Am actually lucky to have him.
Am!!
All I need to do is to took him out from jail. Right now we are having lawyer.
"All we can do is repay our help beta" uncle said to me with a tears in his eyes.
"Uncle" I called him out.
"Thanks" I said to all of them.
"No beta, don't say thanks and all. Nothing can be equal to what you both did to my daughter. You both saved her. She is so precious to me." uncle said to us.
"Thank you so much to you all" I said to them.
"Akka, its our duty right now. See, actually we all were in Mumbai. We went there for some relative marriage. When we were returning we seen the news. So directly came here with our luggage too" vishal said.
"Thanks" I said to them again.
"Enough of thanks. First thing first. Right now the time is 8 clock at night. So it's not possible to meet Vihaan Anna. So it's better we will go tomorrow to police station. And right now, I need something to eat" vishal said.
"Piggy always eating. Such a foodie" pragathi hitted her brother forehead.
"Who is saying that. I know you also want to have food right now. " he shouted back at her.
"Stop. Am not. You are the one who eat everything" she reverted back.
"Comeon guys they are like that. Right now it's better to leave them. They both will then start to hit each other and even they both would be rolling in the floor. So we all can leave from here" saying this uncle stood up from the sofa.
"Appa" both his children were shouted at him.
"What appa. Were is your behaviours." uncle shouted at them.
"Leave them uncle, they both were trying to lighten up the mood of this house. I know" I said to them.
They both turned and smiled sheepishly at me.
"How are you akka? First reply to this" pragathi asked me.
"Am not okay. How can I be....." I started to cry.
"Akka don't cry, we will took him out akka. He is a good human being. We won't leave him just like that. We need to put our fight akka rather than crying. I know you are brave, right now you were having me to your support. So, definitely we will win." she said to me. And came towards me and hugged me tightly.
I nodded my head at her. She wiped my eyes. I smiled at her.
" You look beautiful akka with the smile. Vihaan Anna did some good things in his past life it seems, see he got you as his wife. " she said to me.
"How do you know that am his wife" I asked her
"Your thaali, your daughter calling him as her dad. And your sadness for his misery. Your crying, your shoutings for anna. With all these I just guessed akka" she said to me.
"Am I right" she again asked me.
"Yeah you are right" I said to her.
"Wow" she again shouted. And hugged me tightly.
"Okay comeon it's time" uncle said.
"Yes akka, it's time. We all go now and then will come back tomorrow then we will see anna in station." she said to me.
"No, please stay here itself." I said to them.
"Why" pragati asked me.
"It's actually, that prasanth.... Ta... That..." I stopped what if they don't want to take this case if I said that prasanth will won't leave them and he even having some goons.
"I... I..."
"Tell akka" vishal asked us.
"That..... Prasanth... You know him right. The previous case. Rape case...." I stopped as I don't know how to tell this.
Anna holded my hand. He nodded his head.
"Akka what happened say" vishakl again aksed me.
"Actually.. That prasanth son and his friends death sentence you all know right" I aksed them. Three of them were nodded their head.
"What is the connection" pragathi aksed.
"Actually, his... So... Son kav...kavin.. And his friends w.. W.. Was... Rap.." I stopped and took the heavy breath. I have to open up or else they won't understand the seriousness and three will even go to their home. And I don't even want to think about the consequences, once prasanth came to know that we are having vishal as the lawyer.
"If you don't want you don't have to lil sis" anna said to me.
"No anna I want to..." I stopped. I took heavy breath.
"They three I mean kavin and his friends..... Rap.. Raped me." I finished.
"What" everyone shouted. I nodded my head.
"At my 16. They raped me. They gangraped me. Vihaan......." I said everything from Vihaan getting know my past to prasanth words which he uttered. Even midhuna is not being my child too.
"Akka, you are brave woman akka." vishal said.
"Then Anna why.. What happened in his life akka. Am sure he is not a rapist" pragathi aksed me by hugging me.
" Yes akka, I need those details. Then only I can know what to do." vishakl said.
"Okay" I nodded at them.
"Vihaan's aunty Aruna and his fiancee.. That shit Ananya you know right. Those are the ones who gave the complaint. Actually th.. They... Raped Vihaan" I said.
"What" pragati shouted.
"How" vishal shouted.
"But he is a man" vishali again asked.
Pragathi immediately hitted vishal's head.
"So what, its a rape. Be it a man or woman, everyone is human being" she said at him.
"He actually got raped in his 17, then it's continues still. Actually how it started is...." I said everything starts from our meeting, everything till the hotel incident how I came to know.
"He... I.. Don't have words akka" vishakl said.
"He is a gem akka" pragathi said.
"Indeed he is" I said.
"Don't worry akka, we will get the justice for him. First we will see him tomorrow" vishali said.
"And beta you are right. Its better to stay here itself." uncle said. I said my thanks.
"Mumma who are they" midhuna again asked at me once she came into the room. Abinash is looking tired.
Vishal scooped midhuna in his arms.
"Am your uncle" he said.
"You too my uncle ahh" she asked him by grabbing his chin. He nodded his head.
"My dad.... I want my dad" she started to cry in his arms.
Anna took midhuna and started to console her. She is missing vihaan very much.
Even me too.
I need his embrace.
That's it.
"Okay take rest. I will order food" Anna said.
Everyone nodded their head. I asked Abinash to show the rooms. I gone to Vihaan room. I slept like past days.
Time skipped:
At morning, me, Anna and vishal gone to the police station.
Once we reached there. We meet the writer and asked for inspector. He said that he is inside only. So we three moved inside.
"Sir" I called him out. My hands were trembling, albut Anna clutching my hand tightly.
"Mam, how many times we can say. That you are not allowed to see him" inspector shouted at us.
"Why not" vishal asked him.
"We won't show him as we were keeping him for the investigation Mister" inspector said.
"Am a lawyer. Am going to appear for Vihaan. So right now I want to meet my client" saying this vishal showed some card
Inspector looked shocked. He even checked the card.
"But he is in our custody. So no we won't allow anyone to see him. You know right that we won't allow anyone, as we don't want to corrupt our investigation" inspector argued with us.
"I know everything. What did you do to him" vishal asked.
"It's a normal procedure. Investigation only." inspector said
"Allow us to see." vishal again argued with inspector. After a lot of arguments by vishal and Anna, the inspector allowed us.
"Just 5 mins" inspector said and called constable to took us to some where.
We followed the constable. Anna placed his hands over my shoulder. I hugged him tightly in sideways.
Atlast he took us to one of the room which is inside.
"Fast" constable said. Vishal just glared at him. Then we all gone.
There Vihaan is sitting in the floor, who is half naked. His body is having some other fresh marks like some latti marks.
"Vihaan" I called out his name slowly.
"Vihaan" I again called him. As he didn't respond first.
"Fl.. Fluffy" his slurped voice came. They didn't allowed us inside. This room too having some grilled door.
He looked up, somehow with a difficulty and seen us. Once he seen me he smiled at me.
How can he smile.
How, even in a situation like this.
"Fluffy" he somehow stood up and came towards the grilled door.
"Vihaan" I touched his face.
"Ahhh" he shouted.
"Oh my god" I shouted as some blood were dripping from his jaw, his eyes. Everything. His body is looking like inflammated.
"Vihaan" I shoutedly crying at him.
"Vihaan what happened" I aksedhjm.
"3rd degree treatment f... Fluff.... Fluffy" he slowly said.
"How can they. Didnt you open up the truth Vihaan" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"Didn't they seen your marks in your body. Then why they were beated you like this." I akaed him. Atleast they should get some suspicious right.
"I said fl.. Fluffy.. That it was marked by them while they raping me. So they called that... Aunty.. Them... But... T.. They said,, I itself done to myself as I many times behave like a mental, .... After my parents death.. So those marks were happened... T.. To.. Me... By.. Myself "he said.
" Vihaan.... I will.. Do.. Something Vihaan. "I said to him by grabbing his face. As I already kneel down on the floor. As he too in the Same state.
" No fluffy. Please don't involve in it. Pl.. Please... The... They won't... Going to... Leave m.. Me.. Please don't flu... Fluffy. Please you already suffered a lot, its your time to enjoy your life fl.. Fluffy" he said to me.
I just moved back as he tried to touch my face. He tried to hold my face.
"Don't" I shouted.
"Mr. Vihaan, am not doing it for you. Am doing it for my husband. I will take him out. Will you shut your negativity. Will you" I shouted at him like a maniac.
He looks like disappointed at me.
I glared at him.
I gone beside him.
I took hold of his face in my palm.
" Either you willingly or unwillingly have to live the rest of your life with me. Did you get it. You are my husband and am your wife." I stopped.
"What you will do Vihaan, if the situation is reversed. Will you leave me and enjoy your life" I asked him. He vigourously nodded his head as no.
"Then why I have to" I asked him.
"All you need to do is, just have faith for me and yourself. Above all that, the true will find it own way to glow Vihaan. And am searching for that glow right now. And I will succeed in it." I said to him.
"Love you" I said to him.
He smiled at me.
"Is it paining Vihaan" i asked him slowly as he is having many bruises all over his body. Many beatings, many cuts. Dried blood.
"Not.. Really.... Fluffy. These tortures are not new to me right" he said.
I cried.
I again cried.
He wiped my tears. I too let him.
I smiled at his antics. I took his hbad and kissed his palm.
"You will be safe Vihaan" I said to him
"No fluffy, no one will appear to defend me. Every police said that to me. As every lawyers were gave their consent to this as a okay to not defending me" he said with a difficulty.
"Am there anna. I will defend you" vishal said. He looked up, as he still now didn't seen other two.
"You" he asked him.
"How is pragathi" Vihaan asked.
"She is....." vishal said everything and I also said that what happened yesterday. How they came, and what they said everything.
"Thanks" Vihaan said to us. As he too got some hope.
I smiled at him.
I tried to kiss his forehead but couldn't as because of the grills.
"Don't cry fluffy" he said.
I nodded my head at him.
"Mam it's time up" I heard the constable voice.
"Yea.. Yeah" anna said. He made me to stood up. I hugged him.
He consoled me.
"Bye fl.. Fluffy" vihaan said.
"Ta... Take care Vihaan. I will took you out. That's for sure Vihaan. Then be ready to mine" I again said to him.
"Mmmm" he hummed by seeing me.
I smiled at him again.
He too.
Then we came out of the room. Once we came far away from the room. I started to shed more tears.
