Chapter Seven: Unpacking

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

Nandini

Seriously it was really tough for us to climbing the stairs with those heavy luggage.

7th floor!

"Nandini, drink it. You will feel better." Navya gave me a glass and honestly it's not looking like a water.

I took it and investing the glass. "Isn't it looking weird? What is it?" Navya and Aliya looked at each other.

"Um it's water." They both said in unison and that time Mukti came.

"For the god of heaven. What are you giving her?" Mukti shouted and take the glass from me.

"Umm..."

"Have you gone mad?"

"We thought it would help her." Aliya is really scared. "Okay fine. It's not the right thing for her. Now please let us live you anaconda. Don't need to hiss like a snake." She took the glass and drink it like it's nothing.

Mukti shook her head. "Unbelievable."

Well I can't suffer anymore. "Guys I am hungry." I know I am looking like an i***t now.

"But the food is not ready." Navya respond lowly.

"Let's order something. What do guys want to order?" Mukti asked as she went to call.

We agreed to it because we all are hell tire to cook something today. But Mukti is so generous to order soup and some healthy food for and the rests are okay.

After few minutes we gathered to have our dinner. I ate my soups and rice as doctor said. I can't have junk foods for some days but today we all are tired so I had to have it. But from tomorrow we decided to make homemade food.

My heart is pounding with joy at their affectionate side. It's new for me yet I feel connected. For the first time I am thinking that I made a right choice. If I couldn't run that day then I wouldn't meet Mukti and never ever I wouldn't know that good people exist in this world.

Then through Mukti I met Aliya and Navya, however they seem crazy but actually they are good hearten people.

"Hey!!" Navya swayed me and breaking my half-conscious state and bring me to the reality.

"Nandini we are talking to you and where have you been lost?" Aliya questioned.

"Umm... I- uh... Nothing. Just---- tired!"

"Okay!"

"I think I need to sleep." I paused then asked, "Which room I will stay?" I wonder because I am still shocked to see that they got such a beautiful apartment in cheap rent.

I mean look at the view. Three rooms and with two attach bath and also a common bath. Then the living room and the small dining space!!

Although rooms are not too big but for us it's enough.

"Take the one you like except the corner one. I and Aliya is going to share that room but if Aliya wants to move in another one I don't mind." told in suspicious voice.

"NO! Um... yeah we are going to share." Aliya quickly said so Navya can't take the room alone.

Mukti frowned!

"What is so special about this room that you both want to take? As far as I know you do not like to share rooms." Mukti asked with suspicious tone.

"Umm." Both Navya and Aliya started to cough... "Uh—New... I mean we both like that room so we don't want to give up. So we are sharing." Aliya explained.

"Really?!!!"

"Don't you believe us?"

"Well it's hard to believe you two. But for your information I didn't take your words so I am going to check." Their eyes widened like Mukti drop a bomb.

Both stood up in defensive mood

"CAN'T WE SHARE A GOD DAMN ROOM?"

"No you can't."

"Muktiiiiiii..... For god sake stop be a Momma."

"I am not being a Momma. I am just curious."

"Then stop being a detective. We just want to share the fu*king room."

"Mukti, if they want to take that room then let them. Think the better side we both got our personal room. It's their loss."

Aliya and Navya make a face that I and Mukti can't control our laugh.

"Whatever!" Aliya flip her hair and walked to the room. "I have work tomorrow so I am going to sleep." Navya followed her.

"Uhu... I am not buying this. This is unusual."

"Why?"

"They never share room Nandini.... unless it's not related to a boy... a crush."

This time it's my turn to get a heart attack. "WHAT?"

"Oh my poor innocent Nandini. Don't think so much. I will tell later now it's time to sleep. We have to unpack tomorrow."

"Don't you have a work tomorrow?"

"No. I took a leave." She grinned at me.

And then we went to our room. I took the room which has big balcony. And Mukti took the other one. It's small but she didn't mind.

I am so happy today. I lay down on the bed and soon drifted into sleep without worrying about anything. But I forget that happiness is not for me. Until I face my fear I was happy.

Opening my eyes I saw I am tied with a bed and my body is aching. I tried to pull my legs and hands but both were tightly bind to the bed.

I struggle to get free but it's only given me more pain.

My hands were cut now it's bleeding more with the friction.

"Oh."

"You wake up ugly bi*ch?"

I look at the voice and saw the cruel face who is torturing me from the day I met him.

"Please let me go."

"Oh now we are talking. You shouldn't have disobeyed my rules sl*t."

"Dad, please."

"I am not your dad. I don't want to be your dad. Call me Ramesh baby." With that he touched my thigh... my body started to tremble with disgust.

"You married to my mom." I cried out as he started to lift my kameez

"Yeah unfortunately I am married to her but you are not my daughter. Not biologically, of course." He proceed further and kiss on my bare stomach.

"So lovely.... So smooth." He traced his tongue on my stomach.

I screamed... wiggled. But he is kept going on.

He was about lift up the kameez over my br* but I couldn't take it anymore... and kicked him on his leg, he break free and got angry. Without thinking he started to punch me.

"Nooooo.... Please." I begged

"Nandini"

"Nandini."

Squirming my eyes, I saw Mukti is sitting beside me.

"Ssshh don't cry. I am here." She wiped my tears.

"Oh Mukti." I hugged her. So painful to forget.

"Don't cry."

"How do you know that I was dreaming?"

"Well in those days I have a pattern to check on you and when I entered I saw you are screaming and crying and---."

"And?"

"Uh nothing just wiggling side to side." She thinks before answering. "When you feel that you ready to share then tell me. Now sleep. I am here until you sleep." She ran her hands on my hair.

When I will get rid of those memories. I left them but the memories doesn't leaving me.

I soon fallen into sleep as I laying my head on Mukti's lap.

Next morning I woke up feeling so fresh. I look around saw it's 9:30am.

Oh my god!

Quickly I got up from the bed and ran to washroom.

Sh*t. What Mukti will think? She is doing so much for me and I am just doing nothing. Sitting like a free loader.

After doing morning routines I hurriedly walk out.

Seeing Mukti is doing her breakfast.

"I am so sorry. I slept so long."

"Nandini, I told don't be formal. Okay." I shied.

"Where is Navya and Aliya?"

"Navya is sleeping and Aliya went to her work."

"Oh."

"Today I manage to take holiday but from tomorrow I have to do work."

"Then I would be alone."

"Don't worry, our work place is near. We can come and check on you."

She took her plate to the kitchen and came back with a bread and vegetable curry.

"Have your breakfast till time I am going to clean those things. Then we will started to unpack."

I don't feeling like to eat.

Sitting in home like a free loader is bothering me so much. I want to help them. But how would I ask them?

I also want to work. But I have no degree. Who will give me a job?

My stomach growled. OH I am so hungry but don't want to eat. Still I took a bite and started to eat because I don't want to make Mukti feel bad.

The day passed normally. We unpacked and have our lunch. Now it's evening. Aliya came back early.

We are watching TV and having fun. Aliya and Navya are so funny. There is not a moment when they don't fight.

Full day I thought and now I am gathering courage to ask them.

I coughed to get their attention. When they don't I called Mukti's name.

"MUKTI."

"What?" she turned.

Everyone is now focusing on me.

"Um... I want to tell something. Or should I say I want a favor. Don't take me in a wrong way. I just... umm."

"What? Ask nandini."

"Umm... I don't want to sit alone in home. I also want to work." I drop the bomb.

Everyone looking at each other and then started to laugh.

"Well Nandini, That's it?" Mukti asked.

Every again started to laugh and I looked like a fool.

"You took whole day to ask this one question Nandini." Mukti said.

"Yeah. I was so damn irritating by her thoughts. I was waiting for this question whole day." Navya said.

"When? You slept all day." Mukti mocked her.

"Whatever. I waited for this question by sleeping. Okay."

"Nandini we know that you wouldn't want to be sit here. So--."

"So?"

"So we decided to find a job for you. But there is a little problem."

"I don't care I just wanted to work."

"Okay then here is your job offer. I heard your singing so I think you can join with us in our----."

That's how the entire evening gone. We gossip and talked and Mukti offered an idea. Now it's my decision if I want that or not.
