Me+You=We

Escaping again!

Anu's POV:

Today everyone will be attending the 25th marriage anniversary of Dadi's ( Grandma's) son and daughter-in-law. Everyone was insisting me to join them. Even Dadi (Grandma) and Annanya tried their best to take me with them. They even emotionally blackmailed me, but I straight denied them. So, in the end, they had to give up and all of them went, leaving me behind.

The first reason I didn't go there is because I don't like parties or you could say I am not used to it. I get nervous in front of a group of people. My head hurts and I feel like fainting. I know I sound dramatic, but to tell you the truth, I am afraid when I am with groups of people. I get nervous and mess up things. And I'm sure today at the party, there will be loads and loads of people and me being me, I'm going to do nothing, but embarrass myself. So I had better stay in quarters.

Today our cafe closed at 7 P.M. because of the party. Everyone went to the party, so I was left alone. I was hell tired, so as soon as I entered my quarters, I crashed on my bed. There was no one in the quarters, so I didn't mind closing the door.

I had a cold shower and wore my favorite pair of pajamas, I dried my hair and sat on the bed using my phone researching about the university I was enrolled at. Trust me, University of South Hampton was one of the best universities in the world. It was ranked within the top 100th in the world. I was just randomly scrolling through the websites on my phone when suddenly someone barged into my room. I stood up from my bed and kept my phone on the night stand. What shocked me more was, there Ajey was standing at my door and passing an evil smirk towards me. He smelled alcohol all over his body. And I am sure he is drunk as hell. I screamed for help and told him to get out of my room. But he didn't budge. I threatened him with calling the police, but his smirk grew broader.

I was about to pick up my phone but he just grabbed me forcefully and tore my pajamas, leaving me with only my bra and underwear. He was kissing me like a maniac. I screamed for help but nobody came. I pleaded with him to let me go but he didn't stop. And then, finally, he took the only precious thing of mine; that was my virginity. He forcefully entered me and I felt like I would die out of pain, as if my body was torn apart. My soul was ripped apart. He took my self-respect away and why only to satisfy his ego, to take revenge for that slap.

How can a person be so inhuman? Did I deserve this? My life was already messed up and here he is actually f*****g my body as if I am a w***e. Why God why? Why always me? Why do all the bad things happen to me? What wrong have I done? Do I deserve this? Maybe my mother was right, I am just a bastard who is filled with bad luck. I will run away from here and go very far away. I cannot be a s*x slave of this beast like today. I hate you Ajey. I hate you more than anything else. I was wrong when I thought you were a good person. I hate you for everything. I will never forgive you in my entire life. You took the only precious thing left in my life away. You took my pride, my self-respect and my virginity, which I had kept for the love of my life. I hate you. I just hate you.

Slowly and slowly darkness consumed me. I could feel my body being ripped away by that beast.

I woke up the next morning, it was still dark outside. Maybe it is around 4-4:30 a.m. Everything from last night came flooding into my mind. I wish it was my nightmare, but no, it is my worst reality. I tried to wake up but my lower abdomen was hurting like hell. A sob escaped from my mouth and a fat tear fell from my left eye. Each and every part of my body was aching. I tried to wake up again but a strong force stopped me and there I noticed that his hands were on my waist. He was sleeping peacefully. Oh...how much, how much I want to rip his face apart.

But I don't have time for all these things. I have to escape this place, escape this person. You may think that after being r***d I would be broken or shattered or try to commit suicide. But no, I won't be doing any of those. I will fight, fight for my existence, fight for success, fight for myself and myself. I just have to escape from here. I wish I had enough money to sue this bastard. But I'm a poor person with no family. Who's going to believe me? They may think I slept with this bastard for money and, on the other hand, he got money. He will hire one of the best lawyers and get out of this and he may have his own connections.

I slowly stood up from my bed and crawled to the bathroom and turned on the hot shower. I tried to rub all the parts of my body that this bastard had touched, but little did I know the black spot that he had left was never gonna get erased. There were hickeys all over my chest. Seeing this, tears gushed out of my eyes. I had no time for all this. I have to wake up before this bastard wakes up. Whenever my so-called mother came home drunk, she slept until the next afternoon. So I know this man is going to take a long time to wake up and I can escape from here.

I came out of my bathroom wearing a knee-length skirt with a simple white crop top. I didn't have lots of stuff, so it didn't take me a long time to pack my things. I packed everything in my old duffle bag and walked out of the room, making sure to make the least noise as possible. There was no one in the hallway, they maybe still asleep because of yesterday's party. My lower abdomen was still hurting but I didn't have time for all these things. I walked out of the gate and turned back for the last time to see the cafe where I got a huge amount of love from an unknown person ,Dadi( Grandma). But this is the same place where I lost my dignity. So I just wiped my tears and turned back and started to walk.

I had nowhere to go. I didn't have any friends, any family, no relatives and there was not even a single person on my contact list to help me. Wait a minute.... Last time Sam had given me his number in case of an emergency, but he had already done a lot for me and maybe he is still asleep or won't help me. But apart from him, I got no one. So I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. He didn't pick up his phone. Maybe he is still sleeping. I had no courage to call him again, but I had no option left. I would still want to call him for one last time, so, I started to call him again and this time he picked up his phone.

He said ,"Hello! Who is this?". His voice sounded groggy. Maybe he had just woken from his sleep, hearing his voice. I could no longer contain it and I burst into tears, telling him everything that had happened last night. I told him how Ajey r***d me and how I was trying to escape, but I had nowhere to go. Listening to me, his sleep had long gone away. He asked me where I was and said that he would reach me in 10 minutes. After nearly 10 minutes, he picked me up and took me to the nearby park. There we sat on the bench and I hugged him tightly and cried my heart out. He just hugged me and told me that everything was going to be okay. He consoled me for nearly 3 hours and said," Don't worry Behen( Sister), your brother is here. You are going to the UK today. I have already booked your flight for tonight at 8 P.M. I have already spoken to the university authorities too. You need not worry about your accommodation. I have an apartment where you can live. My friend will come to pick you up". I stopped for a moment and stared at him, and said ,"How can you be so generous, in this world full of selfish people, here you are being my life savior and helping me. Thank you so much for all this. I can never pay for your kindness".

He just patted my head and said," Don't thank me Behen ( Sister), I'm doing this as a big brother and here take my card. You can spend as much money as you want and you need not do any part-time jobs there. You should just study hard. So keep this card and use it for expenses".

Hearing him, I straight refused and said," You have already done more than enough for me, I can't take your card and, most importantly I can't use your money. Maybe you are rich, but I have my self-respect too. I'm not disabled, so I can work and earn money for my daily necessities and, overall, have already given me a place to live. Therefore, I need not worry about my rent".

He just glared at me and said," You know why I'm doing this for you because I had a little loving sister like you but, unfortunately, I lost her years ago. I had made all these savings for her. You look just like her , so take this card and use it there. And if I knew that you were doing part-time jobs and ruining your studies, this Bhaiya(brother) would woop your ass. I have got this right, I'm your Bhaiya( brother) now and you are not alone".

I had no option left, so I just nodded my head and took his card. I am still confused about how someone can be this kind only because I called him Bhaiya( Brother).

My stomach rumbled and I just blushed and looked at him. He smiled lovingly at me and said," Looks like someone's stomach is hungry". I nodded my head.

We had breakfast in the nearby restaurant and he forced me to do the most hateful thing that I hate the most; shopping. I groaned and said I already had more than enough, but he just scrunched his face and said," seeing your old duffle bad says everything". Then he dragged me to many expensive stores in the mall and bought me 4 big suitcases full of tops, jeans, Kurthis, Saris, skirts, frocks, hoodies, T-shirts and all types of shoes. He even bought me four expensive watches even after my denial. And he again dragged me to the jewelry shop and bought me many sets of jewellery and said that I was gonna need them for my college functions. He even bought me a beautiful moon-shaped diamond necklace and put it on my neck. Trust me, it was the most beautiful necklace I had ever seen. He said that it was a token of love from him to me.

Arghhhhh! Finally, the shopping was over. Bhaiya( Brother,Sam) called his men and told them to take the suitcase to the airport safely. Then he took me to Domino's for lunch and said," You know "Pichhu" You used to love grilled chicken pizza of Domino's when you were small, you forever dragged me here for pizza".

Hearing him, I froze in my spot, I don't know why this name "Pichhu" seemed so familiar and he said when I was small, what does it mean?

Seeing my confusion and realizing his mistake, Bahiya( brother,Sam) hurriedly said," I am sorry Anu, for a moment I thought you were my sister. Now come on, let's grab our lunch". I followed him and had our lunch at Domino's. After our lunch, we still had some time left, so we went to the cinema to spend more time. But little did I know that Bhaiya ( brother, Sam) would take me to watch a horror movie. All the time, I was closing my eyes with my hands and peeping through my fingers.

Finally, which seemed like a year after the film was over, we went out of the cinema hall. Bhaiya ( Brother,Sam) asked me whether I wanted to have an ice cream. Hearing the name of ice cream, I chirped happily. He took me to the ice cream stall. He asked me which flavor I would like to eat, so I happily jumped saying," Blueberry". Bhaiya (brother,Sam) smilingly looked at me and we had our ice cream.

I was already 6 P.M. in the evening, so there were only 2 hours left for the flight, so we headed to the airport. Finally, after 1 hour, along with the traffic jams, we reached the airport. Now it was time for me to go through the checking and I had to sit in the waiting area. So my bhaiya hugged me tightly. I could feel a few stray of his tears on my shoulder. He then kissed my forehead and said ," I will be there after six months, my dear little sister. Till then, just take care of yourself and eat your food on time". I nodded my head and shed a few tears too.

After one hour

The plane was about to board. I was sitting in my seat and wondering what my future beholds. I don't know where my life will take me. I hope everything will go well now. I hope I will be able to come out of my traumatic past. The plane took off. I was afraid, so I closed my eyes until my fear was finally over.

Let's see where my life takes me now.......................
