FLASHBACKARHAANI was in my office when I checked the CCTV cameras and noticed she was leaving for the market. I saw her smiling while she left, and I had rarely seen her smiling that meant something is for sure fishy.I immediately called one of my men and asked him to follow her and inform me where she was going. And then, I was shocked to know that she entered a restaurant.I had asked her to purchase groceries? What was she doing that the restaurant? I had to confront her, and that's why I quickly got out of my office. Luckily the restaurant was near my office so I reached there within ten minutes.The moment I got inside, I saw her talking to some guy. My blood boiled in anger. So my wife was doing this behind my back? She was cheating on me?The moment I got near them, the guy turned around to leave, and the moment I saw him, I immediately recognised him. It was Saksham. The rage in me grew more. I was about to kill that bastard in college, and now, he was with my wife? How cou
FLASHBACKRAAHII felt a sharp pain in my back when Arhaan threw me on the bed, making me unable to move. My entire body was hurting due to the hitting I got minutes earlier. I felt terrible.I tried a lot to explain to Arhaan my side, but he didn't even listen to me. He continued to blame me for everything that I haven't done. I couldn't find a way.And then, I saw him removing his shirt. The horror I was in grew more as my eyes widened."No," I gasped.And then, after removing his shirt, he hovered over me."No. Arhaan, please," I cried out as loud as I could.He didn't listen to me.And then, I felt his lips on mine, struggling to kiss me. I tried my best to resist. I didn't want to kiss this man at any cost. I tried to push him away but he held my hands and pinned them on the bed over me. I cried as I struggled but this felt like he wasn't even interested to hear my cries."No, please!"I cried once more as he started kissing me on my neck. I felt horrible, I was struggling a lot
FLASHBACKRAAHIThat night was just the beginning. I just got a hint of what kind of monster Arhaan actually is and up to what extent he could go and that scared me the most.The next morning, my entire body was aching and I couldn't even get up from the bed. I was in sobs and pain."Raahi, Where is my tea?" I heard Arhaan shout.His voice immediately made me flinch and I was trying to get out of the bed. But the pain was so much that I couldn't even move.And then, he barged into the room and saw me. He rushed to me and yanked my hairs immediately."You bitch. I am shouting and asking for tea for hours and you're here? Laying down on the bed and chilling?" His voice was hoarse and it was plain anger."No! Act...actually my body is aching bad...badly so I can't get..m get up," I cried out in pain.And then, with a jerk, he pulled me out of the bed and threw me on the floor."Ouch!" I cried out. I hit the floor on my elbows and it hurt."I don't want excuses. I want my tea," he shouted
FLASHBACKRAAHI"What?" The officer was shocked after hearing my answer.I nodded in affirmation."Girl. Look. He is your husband, how can he rape you?" She questioned me."If he did that to me, even after I cried and begged him to stop. Wouldn't that called to be a rape?" I looked at her with painful eyes."But he is your husband," she said in a low tone."Does that change anything? Does that ease the trauma and horrific experience that I had to go through? Does that soothe the pain?" I questioned.She went silent and looked towards the floor. For a moment, I couldn't even believe that she wasn't ready to file an FIR just because Arhaan was my husband. Even if he is my husband, does that give him a right to rape me?"Well, I can't file a complaint against rape committed by your husband," she muttered."Wh...what?" I was shocked.I looked at the police officer with a terrible shock that I felt moments ago. She wasn't ready to file FIR against him? Why?"Actually, in our constitution,
FLASHBACKRAAHI"Take the case back." My mother ordered.I fell numb to my mother's words. She just asked me to take my case back."B...but why?" I stammered."Because I am telling you to do that," she spoke in a firm voice."Why are you telling me to do this?" I asked."Because, he is your husband," she shouted in a loud tone."So? Does that give him a right to torture me physically or mentally?" I retorted.I couldn't believe that my own parents were taking his side. I knew they were strict and they didn't support me in the things I wanted to do. But I had never thought that they would be standing against me at the time when I needed them the most. They would break me entirely like that."Arhaan had told us what you did," my father spoke in a cold tone.I turned towards him."What did I do?" I questioned.I wanted to know what their loving son-in-law told them. I wanted to know how low he would stoop to destroy my life. I couldn't cry, I had cried enough, I had to know what my paren
FLASHBACKARHAANThe moment I entered my house, I saw her talking to someone else. Who the fuck was she talking to?I quickly walked towards her and grab the phone from her before she could even hang up. I wanted to know who was she talking to.She continued to look at me in horror while I placed the earpiece on my ear."Raahi, I hope you understand what I say."It was my mother's voice.This bitch was turning my mother against me? I slammed the telephone on the floor and Raahi flinched.She stayed there, shivering in fear and thinking about my actions. But before I dealt with her, I had to make sure I deal with my mother. Because whatever she was doing, wasn't correct.I dialled my father's number and waited for him to pick up."Hello, Dad," I spoke as soon as he picked up the call."Yes, Arhaan. What happened?" He questioned."Your wife is getting out of your hands," I scoffed."What do you mean?" He growled."Your wife means my mom was supporting Raahi in this little stint that she
FLASHBACKRAAHIAnd the journey continued. Day after day, year after year, I was tormented, tortured by Arhaan just because he was my husband and he had a right to do so.He played the part of a perfect husband when outside, proudly showing me off like I'm his trophy, at parties and get-togethers. I had to learn to do make up and hide my scars, I had to learn to put a fake smile on my face and talk with everyone.Even if he introduced me to new people, he never mentioned them my name, he used to address me as Mrs Arhaan Awasthi. No one apart from our family knew my name, not even our neighbours or Arhaan's friends or colleagues. He was successful at wiping off my existence entirely and was proud of it.With all the show off of being a perfect husband and his trophy wife, no one knew what happened behind those closed doors. The ones who knew just told me to accept it as my fate and make amendments.I was abused and raped on a daily basis. He would beat me, humiliate me, hurl abuses at
FLASHBACKRAAHI"How could you even scold my daughter? Who gave you the right to do that?" I heard Arhaan's angry words as he pulled my hairs and made me stand up. My forehead was hurting badly due to the hit, but he didn't care."You will have to be taught a lesson," he growled and then, he dragged me towards the room."I'm sorry, please, don't," I cried as I didn't want to bear that.But all my pleas were going to fall on dead ears as Arhaan care about nothing. He just needed reasons to torment me, and when he has got one, he wouldn't let it go at any cost.He dragged me to the room and whipped me with the same belt, and when he was done with that, he asked me to get up and go to prepare for dinner.I somehow tolerated all the pain, and when I walked towards the kitchen, I looked at Arohi. She looked confused by what happened. Maybe, initially, she thought she was happy that Arhaan scolded me, but in my later condition, I could see in her eyes that my daughter was scared of it.But
