Sanskar's POV:

I got up when the sun rays fell on my face. I found her sleeping on me. Her hands sprawled on my chest while her left cheek rested on my shoulder. I kissed her forehead and got up from the bed slowly. Last night was the most comfortable sleep I had till date. I saw her innocent face while she was sleeping. She really looked like a doll.  But her face was a mess. Tears had dried and left stain marks on her face. I am addicted to her face. Something flickered inside me. She has done some spell on me. I stared at her for almost half an hour. This long? What the hell is wrong with me? Already I am addicted to something. I don't want another addiction.  No. No. I can't be addicted to her. I just want her body and nothing else, nothing else at all. I know once she gets up she will start hating me. But I don't care. I just want her body. I don't care whether she loves me or hates me.

"No, you care" my conscience screamed.

"Argh.. Damn! This voice... it will never let me live peacefully.  I guess it's just because I haven't taken my..." I said but then I heard Swara's voice. It seemed like she was getting up. I slowly got out of the bed without disturbing her. 

Swara's POV:

I woke up with an intense pain in my upper body. I was naked from the top wrapped in my dupatta. I covered myself with the duvet and brought it to my chin for it to act as a shield.  Then I remembered the happenings of the previous night. 

Him tearing my Kurti, kissing me, forcing me, my pleadings, everything. Then I realised that he had raped me. I was tortured again.  Why can't God let me live happily? I felt a little pain in my chest. How could he rape me? Did my tears not affect him? Is he so heartless? Why did he do this to me? Why am I in this situation? Why me? He not only raped my body but he raped my soul too. After what he did yesterday, I will always hate him. I thought he is not like those businessmen who only think about their profit but no, I was wrong.  All men are the same. They just think about themselves. I can't believe he is such a heartless criminal. It's my fault. I should not have trusted him. Everyone breaks my trust. They break me and leave me in that state. I saw the other side of the bed but it was empty.  I looked around and saw him standing near a drawer and injecting something in his veins.  Seeing me he rushed out of the room. Is he trying to hide something? Why do I care? Let him do anything he wants. After he went out, I quickly rushed to the washroom.

"Just pick your things and get out from here," Sanskar said to Swara while looking at a file.

"Of course, I will go now. You just needed me for one night. After raping me why would you want me to stop here?" Swara said.

"Just stop your nonsense," Sanskar shouted. 

"I will go. But..." Swara said in a low voice. 

"But what? Oh! You got addicted to me? You want more of me? You were a girl of your morals, right? What happened to your morals? I know girls throw themselves on me and you are one of them. Accept it," Sanskar spoke. 

"Just shut up. I don't say anything but that doesn't mean that I don't know how to give a strong reply. Silence is not my weakness, it's my choice. And my morals? You will never understand them. At least I have my morals with me unlike you. I just wanted to say that please delete Ragini' s video. I did what you asked for and now, as per the deal, delete it," Swara said as a tear came out of her eyes. 

Life is always a blend of twists and turns and our job is to straighten them out. Yes, it may seem hard sometimes. When it gets tough, never give up. Keep finding for your purpose in life and never. Because someday a clue will come to you.

Life is not easy for Swara. In fact, it never was easy for her. She lost her dignity, her virginity to a man who doesn't love her. In fact, he has odd ideas about her, Some sort of kinky ideas. The worst pain for her was that she was broken but had to hide her tears.

" I don't have any interest in keeping that video. I have already deleted it," Sanskar said, going out.

♡♡♡

Swara got out of the auto which stopped in front of her house. She wiped her tears and pressed the bell. Within no seconds the door was open.

"Di. Thank God you came. We were so worried about you. Where were you last night?" Ragini asked, hugging Swara.

"Ragini, I am fine," Swara could only say this much .

"She came?" Sharmistha's voice boomed from inside. "Where were you last night?" Sumi asked in a dangerous voice, scaring Swara. 

"Maa... that... I…," Swara could not form coherent words from her mouth.

"I asked something. Answer me," Sumi demanded, twisting Swara's hands. 

"Aahh..  Maa.. Leave me. It's painful,” Swara yelled in pain.

"Mom please leave Di,”  Ragini said.

"Ragini! You go inside," Sumi ordered. "Don't you have any shame? You pretend to be a decent girl but you are a cheap and characterless girl. You spent a whole night with a random guy? Shame on you," Sumi said, pushing Swara while her voice dripped with disgust. 

"Maa..." Swara said out of shock.

"This video is proof of all your cheap activities,” Sumi said out of disgust. 

Ragini ran to Swara to help her.

"Ragini, stay away from this girl. I don't want you to become like her. You go inside. And you cheap girl, why don't you die and let us live in peace?" Sumi asked, dragging Swara out of the house. 

"Maa.. please listen to me once.  I did nothing out of my wish. He raped me for..." Swara pleaded.

"Raped you? You must have provoked him. Now get out of my house. I don't want a girl like you to live here," Sumi said while closing the door.

Swara was still sitting on the ground and crying. 

Life is painful and messed up. It gets complicated at the worst of times and sometimes you have no idea where to go or what to do. Lots of time, people just let themselves get lost. But we have to keep trying.  We have to push through all that hurt, work past all our memories that are haunting us. Sometimes the things that hurt us, are the things that make us the strongest. And even if it hurts, never stop living

"Have you sent that video to her mother?” Sanskar asked someone over the phone. 

----------------

"Great job! What is happening at her home now?” he asked.

--------------------

"Her mother threw her out and she went somewhere? Perfect!" he said while disconnecting the call.

"Swara, I know after this you would hate me more but I have no other ways left to keep you with me. I recorded the video when I kissed you. I knew your gold digger step mother would definitely throw you out of your house after watching that video.  And then you will have no other option left. You will come to me. I am the one who broke you and I will be the one to fix you," Sanskar said to himself.

Swara's POV:

Ma threw me out of the house just because I was raped? Why me? Every time? Why do I always have to suffer? When I was walking out of the badi, I heard my neighbours talk about me. Within one night I was tagged to be a SLUT, WHORE, RAPE VICTIM, CHARACTERLESS and so much more. What was my fault? I went there to save Ragini’s dignity. He raped me when I was unconscious. 

I am a RAPE victim.

These five words are harder to think than I ever thought, let alone accept the fact that it happened. My heart ached when people looked at me in disgust. I don't know where I am. I guess I have been walking for an hour. I am just following my feet. Then I noticed that I was on a bridge. I paused for a second and saw the flowing water.

"Why can't you die and let us live in peace?" Maa's words echoed in my ears.

I saw the water.  It's better if I die. With this I tried to jump in the river but a hand pulled me back.
