7.

With the first ray of the Sun, Vyom opened his eyes. He knew that the sin which he committed at that time, still didn't let him live in peace. Peace, only thing, he wanted now. His whole night was passed in the lane of those memories which are good and bad both just like light and dark, this is what Meenakshi said. His eyes are red, enough to understand that he didn't get any sleep.

He saw his life sleeping peacefully in his one arm and put another in the protective manner.

"Just sleep for sometime otherwise, it will be difficult for you to concentrate while working." said Meenakshi in sleeping tone breaking his stupor. It brings smile on his lips seeing her wife antics. He knows she is awake and pretending sleepy in order to save herself from doing little exercise as well as saving herself from getting scolded. He decided to make  this wish of her true. But obviously just for today. And put his face in her hairs while holding her protectively and sleeps for sometime knowing today is going to be a hectic one.

It's sharp 9:30 in the morning and Vyom is ready in order to leave for the office. He told the maid about breakfast and lunch items and informed Meenakshi about everything and kissed her before leaving making her red and left.

.................................

It's the another meeting that was going on as they have to give progress report of yesterday's case but they didn't get any clue. Police needed the girl's statement, but much to their disappointment she was unconscious and in ICU. For that's part, they have to wait but how much no-one knows. All the officials decided to end this meeting but interuppted by a 15year boy who came always to serve them tea.

But something strikes in the mind of Senior Inspector Vardhaan, he was the person who is  handling that case as they all knew if superiors will not pressurise their subordinates, they aren't going to do anything till media doesn't create a havoc.

Inspector Vardhaan called that boy while others were looking him in question.

"Raju, there is something in which we all need help of you and your friends. Will you help us? he said.

"Sahab ji, Main to bas ek chaiwala hoon, main kya kar skta hoon aap sab ke liye. Aap sab to jyada padhe likhe hai, apko mere jaise insan ki kya madad chahiye. (Sir ji, I'm just a Tea boy what I can do for you all. You all are so much educated, what help you need from person like me.)" Raju answered but not to forget that he is a student in a government school. Although the school is not good but if he had doubts, he asked for the help of Vardhaan, Vyom and other employees.

His reply (Raju's) made him understand if they want his help, they have to tell him about the case and so they did, on which Raju agreed to help them. He collected all his friends and children and took them to meet Vardhaan. Vardhaan show them that girl's photo and asked them to tell all the information they get to know about her.

Meanwhile Vyom was contacting and discussing further procedures with a Child Care organisation and decided to take strict action against the employees of State Commission for Protection of Child  who neglect their duties because from his view and in the NGO workers opinion their negligence leads to this.

Two days, had been passed, still they didn't get information. Meanwhile, that girl's condition is also becoming worse.

Vardhaan came to meet Vyom and they were discussing to find some other way to solve the case. Just in time Shambhu came with a photo. Shambhu is a friend of Raju.



Just by seeing that picture, they both became numb. Now they don't need to know anything about what exactly was happened with her. Till Today, both of them fighting with their brains and instincts in the mind. But what never thought reality sometimes can be more cruel.

Shambhu told them her name is Gudiya, how he get this picture and all other information. Vardhaan and his team quickly reached at Gudiya's home and arrested her in-laws, her family and her husband. Under Vardhaan's threat, they confessed their crime. Her family sold her in the name of Marriage in return of 5 lacs. Her husband indeed married her and waiting for the right time to impregnate her but his father lost the track. He forced her to get pleasure but that wasn't a first time. He did that many times and her husband and mother-in-law were aware of it. For them, she was just a tool to get a boy as a successor.

Their confessions were like someone poured charcoal on them. They didn't expect some people can be this much cruel in their fake pride. At they same time they also remember the stories of the So-called Landlords aka Zamindars of the villages and what they did. Although the case is solved but something is amiss.

When the sun is setting off, a day is saying bye peacefully, but sometimes it is not peacefull for everyone.

Sometimes a sunset is also enough to bring the memories of cruel reality from the grave which you buried in the deepest corner of your heart.

The cruelty which Vyom once again encountered, reminded him about the doings of his family. But he stopped himself from going in that lane as he knows if Meenakshi gets the idea behind his sadness, then she also became tensed which is not good for her.

..................................

Again its a sleepless night for Vyom. After coming home he was lost. He didn't talk to her much, mostly he was silent on which she thought he was listening. He didn't even eat the dinner properly nor he scolded her as usual and was hiding his face. All the time she didn't get to notice the unshed tears in his (obviously that's what he thinks) and slept while he was awake.

His mind was bringing the memories of their miserable conditions, their sufferings, their struggles and their nightmares.

His mind again took him to the next morning after that sinful night where in his over smartness he committed that sin. The sin of snatching of the innocence of a girl.

Flashback

Vyom lazily opened his eyes and was feeling tired, very tired. So he changed his side. Just he changed his side, he sat with a jolt. His face became pale while his body became numb. She was lying naked and slightly bleeding. Seeing her brought tears in his eyes and his mind was unable to comprehend what wrong did he do which made her unconscious. Slightly shivering, he put all her clothes on her first. After doing it quickly, he started patting his face in order to bring her consiusness which went in vein. He was afraid of what his family do after seeing her like this. He made all efforts on his level but all failed. So he decided to tell his mom and started searching her. After few minutes of searching, he finally found her.

"Mom, hurry come with me and see something happened to her." Vyom said to her mother and she quickly went to their room. She entered into the room and after seeing her she understood what had happened last night but she thought it's better to ask him.

"Did you do something with her last night?" His mother, Usha asked on which Vyom nodded with little fear.

"Don't worry, she would wake up after sometime." after saying this, she went away.

Vyom waited for sometime but after seeing no change in her condition, he again went to his mother.

"Please! Maa take her to the hospital. She is bleeding. Please,please take her to the hospital. I'm begging you." Said 15 year old Vyom to his mother who is doing pooja.

"Nothing will happen to her. Why are you crying for her. She is your wife, you have all rights on her. She has to do what you say. You're her god. You did nothing wrong. It's common. Even Me, your dadi, chachi (aunt) all are once in her place. And look we are fine. So don't worry nothing will happen to her." Replied his mother in carefree tone.

But her words didn't provide any comfort to Vyom. He was tensed after seeing her. As he didn't know about marriage life, difference between right or wrong. At the age of studying, learning and playing, they are living a life of husband-wife.

So, he decided to take her hospital without delaying and somehow managed it.
