Love or Stain

TORTURE BEYOND LIMITS

The next day, as the sun's rays filtered through the trees in the jungle, dimly illuminating the mansion's interior, Naina returned to that dark room. Rishi was still in agony from the previous night's torture. His hands and feet were burned, and the nails in his soles caused him constant pain. He lay unconscious, but hearing Naina's footsteps, his eyes slowly opened.

Naina held a bucket filled with ice-cold water. Without any expression, she poured all of it over Rishi. The shock of the cold water made Rishi flinch violently and groan in pain. His body began to tremble from the cold.

"Get up," Naina said in a harsh voice. "Your reckoning isn't over yet."

Rishi was in such a bad state that he couldn't even move. His lips were blue, and his eyes were glazed over with pain and weakness.

Naina tightened the ropes binding Rishi to the chair. Then, she picked up a leather whip from a corner of the room. Rishi closed his eyes in fear. He knew what was coming.

Naina struck Rishi's back with the first whip. The cracking sound of the leather and Rishi's agonizing scream echoed in the room. She lashed him repeatedly, and with each blow, Rishi's body convulsed, and his screams grew louder. Deep red welts appeared on his back, and blood began to seep.

After whipping him, Naina paused for a moment. Rishi was panting, his entire body drenched in sweat.

"Do you remember anything now?" Naina asked in a calm but dangerous tone.

Rishi shook his head no. He was so broken that he couldn't remember anything now, or perhaps he simply couldn't muster the courage to tell the truth due to the pain.

Naina's patience ran out. She decided to try another horrific method. She picked up an old iron griddle from the room and began heating it over a fire. The griddle slowly turned red. Rishi's eyes widened in fear. He understood what Naina was about to do.

When the griddle was fully heated, Naina brought it close to Rishi's face. Rishi could feel the intense heat of the hot iron.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll press this on your face," Naina threatened. There was no mercy in her voice.

Rishi was terrified. He pleaded, "I... I don't remember anything... please let me go..."

Naina didn't believe him. She touched the hot griddle to Rishi's cheek. The smell of burning flesh and Rishi's scream filled the room simultaneously. Rishi's body convulsed in pain.

Naina removed the griddle and looked at Rishi's burned cheek. Anger still burned in her eyes.

"How long will you lie?" Naina screamed.

"How long will you hide the sin you committed against Riya?"

Rishi was completely broken now. The pain and fear had hollowed him out from within. He was just sobbing and begging Naina for mercy. But the fire of justice for Riya in Naina's heart was so intense that she felt no pity for Rishi's suffering. She was determined to torment him until he confessed the truth about the injustice he had done to Riya, or until Rishi died. In that desolate mansion, a terrible story of justice and revenge was being written, with Rishi inching closer to death with every passing moment.

A terrifying determination was in Naina's eyes. Even seeing Rishi's condition, her anger hadn't subsided. She was hell-bent on avenging the injustice done to Riya and wanted to inflict every pain on Rishi that Riya had endured.

She looked at another bucket of nails in a corner of the room. Last night, she had hammered nails into Rishi's soles, but now she was thinking of something even more horrifying. She picked up a nail and looked at Rishi's fingers. Rishi began to tremble with fear, the terror of death clearly visible in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, Naina drove the first nail under one of Rishi's fingernails. Rishi's scream once again echoed in that dark room. A thin line of blood flowed from his finger. Naina hammered nails into his other fingers one by one. With each nail, Rishi's body convulsed, and his agonizing screams grew louder.

After this, Naina picked up a burning candle from the room. Rishi closed his eyes in fear. He knew what was about to happen. Naina brought the burning candle flame close to Rishi's skin. Rishi could feel the heat of the hot flame. He tried to turn his neck, but the ropes held him tight.

Naina slowly moved the candle flame over Rishi's hand. The smell of burning flesh filled the air, and Rishi cried out in pain. His skin began to blister and burn. Naina kept burning him until his skin turned black.

Then Naina tried another method. She picked up some sharp stones from the room and began to rub them against Rishi's body. The rough surface of the stones created more wounds on Rishi's burned skin. Rishi was screaming in pain, but it had no effect on Naina.

With every passing moment, Rishi's condition worsened. He was completely broken, physically and mentally. His eyes were glazed over, and his voice had grown weak. But Naina's anger had still not subsided. She would continue to torment him until she found out the truth about the sin he committed against Riya, or until Rishi died. In that desolate mansion, a terrible saga of pain and revenge grew deeper with every passing moment.

The silence in the room was suddenly broken by Naina's phone ringing. Naina was slightly startled by the unexpected sound and then quickly got up and went to another room. Her father's name flashed on the phone screen.

"Hello Dad, how are you?" Naina asked as soon as she answered the phone. There was a slight concern in her voice. "And Veer... how's Veer doing now?"

From the other end came her father's heavy voice, filled with deep sadness. "Veer is not well, Naina. He's insisting on one thing: he wants to meet his Naina. He keeps repeating – I want to meet my Naina right now. How long until you come back, Naina?"

Naina took a deep breath. "Dad, I have two-three days of office work. I'll finish it and come back soon. Until then, please tell Veer that Naina has gone to get his favorite chocolates. She'll be back shortly." There was a painful sweetness in her voice.

Who exactly is Veer? This question might be on your mind too. So, let me tell you. Veer is Naina's husband. There was a time when he was a cheerful and intelligent boy. Their love story was no less than a beautiful dream. But fate, perhaps, had something else in store.

An unfortunate accident cast a shadow over Veer's life. After that accident, Veer lost his mental balance. Now he behaves like a ten-year-old child, with all his innocence and stubbornness. For Naina, Veer was not just her husband, but also a child who needed her motherly love and care every moment.

So, friends, today's chapter ends here. We'll meet again tomorrow. Until then, Radhe Radhe.
