Chapter 3

• Sakshi:
• I sat on a chair as Randhir left me there. I couldn't find where he is. I felt tired and what all I need is just a good sleep. However, I can't go without informing Randhir because if I do so, this would be my last day. Randhir came there with two glasses of wine.
• "Have it, I brought it for you," Randhir said, shocking me.
• "I quit wine," I said.
• "Is it so Mrs. Randhir? Did you quit drinking before our marriage or after the marriage. I know well that you love having wine. Stop faking and have it. I am not going to say anything to you," Randhir said.
• I remembered the past where I loved to have wine and how many times Randhir requested me to stop drinking as I lose the control over me after having the wine.
• "I stopped drinking before our marriage," I said.
• "No problem. Restart it now. I know how this party environment makes you crazy and happy. Do whatever you want, baby. Enjoy the party. I know well that you have no happiness with me. So, atleast be happy here," Randhir said.
• I remembering my words which I said to Randhir in the past. I thought to reply him but a girl came to him asking for a dance. Randhir went with her and started dancing with her. I felt possessive seeing their dance. Randhir didn't like parties and his priority is always me and then, his business. However, he never stopped me from partying but always warned me to be cautious and he used to take lot of care about me and my safety. My eyes were about to rain but suddenly stopped hearing someone's voice.
• "May I take the seat, Mrs. Randhir? By the way I am Randhir's former business partner, Nandagopal. You can call me Nandu."
• "Hello," I said.
• My eyes are on Randhir dancing with someone else but still observing me with anger. I was frightened but didn't understand what to do. I know he hates me talking to any guy whoever it is. Randhir stopped dancing and came to me.
• "We are leaving," Randhir said.
• "Hey, why are you leaving so early? After all it's your wedding party, Mr. Randhir," Nanda Gopal said.
• Randhir gave a death glare to him and then, caught me hand dragging me to the car. We reached home and he dragged me to the room, throwing me on the floor.
• "You will never change. If I am not with you for a few minutes, you have started flirting with another guy. How dare you to do that even after warning you to be in your limits?"
• "I am sorry but I didn't talk anything with him. He just came and introduced himself. Trust me," I said.
• "Shut up, you bloody bitch. I am not going to trust you. I will give you the punishment so that you would never do it again. Come with me," Randhir said.
• I followed him silently praying to the God to save me. He took me to the kitchen and turned on the burner of the stove. I didn't understand what he is doing. He took a steel spatula and burnt it.
• "Open your mouth," Randhir said, and I shivered listening his order. I tried to walk back but he grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard making me scream. As soon as I opened my mouth, he burnt my tongue with the hot spoon. I shouted out loud and fallen down on the floor sobbing.
• "Remember, this is a very small punishment for now. Next time if I find you talking with any man other than me, you will face even more. Now get up and arrange the bed. Your second punishment will start there."
• I got up slowly and did as he said. He laid on me and started torturing me. My body became an instrument for him to let go off his anger. He bit me and grazed my skin making me to shout more and more. He left me after 2 two hours. My entire body has marks of either his teeth or nails. I tried to get up but I couldn't. He left me in the room and went off downstairs. After sometime, I heard his car sound and understood that he went out.
• I cried for the whole night feeling the pain on every part of my body. I tried and got up slowly. By catching the wall, I went slowly to the washroom and took a hot shower. I couldn't walk but slowly searched for Randhir in the house. I didn't understand where he is. Maybe he didn't return to the house the last night.
• I tried calling Randhir but his mobile was swiched off. Two days passed off but he didn't reach home. I called to his office and they too said that they don't have any information. I gave a police complaint finally praying that Randhir should be b safe.
• I got a call from the police and I went to the hospital which they told me. I saw him there. His legs and head has bandages.
• "Someone admitted him here when he met with an accident. We recognised him as a great entrepreneur Mr. Randhir. We asked him to whom should we inform about his accident. But he told that he has no one to worry or care for him. So we appointed a nurse to take care of him," the doctor said to me and the police.
• "Doctor, please discharge him. I am his wife. I will take care of him. You can provide the treatment at our home," I said.
• Ok, Mrs. Randhir. Incase if you need a nurse, inform us."
• "No, doctor. It's the time for me to pay back what he gave to me in the past. His love, his care and his affection, now it's time to show him. I will take care of him."
• I went to Randhir and saw him sleeping. My eyes filled with tears and I caressed his hairs, placing a kiss on his forehead. He opened his eyes and saw me. Immediately he became angry.
• "Why did you come here? Who told you that I am here? Get lost from here," Randhir said.
• Why didn't you inform me? I am your wife and I should to take care of you," I said.
• "You?? caring for me?? I still remember you leaving me when I need you the most. Don't act assuming that I will trust you again and will change my way of treating you. It never happens. I will surely kill you everyday for your betrayal."
• I didn't answer him anything. I went out and asked doctor to discharge him. I brought him to the home. I tried to feed him but he jerked my hand and plate fell down of my hands.
• "Randhir, please understand. You are not well. You need someone's help. Please take my help."
• "Call to the hospital and inform them that I need a nurse," Randhir said.
• "Nurse can't do everything which a wife can do. Why don't you understand that? Let me help you to recover fast. I am not asking you to trust me or forgive me. But please let me help you."
• Randhir became calm listening to me. I brought the food again and slowly fed him. I gave tablets to him. In the mid of the night, Randhir started coughing continuously. I woke up immediately.
• "Randhir, what happened to you? Please take this water."
• I helped him to drink water and made him to sleep again. For one month, I treated him like a baby with utmost care and love. He recovered completely and started walking. The doctor came to test him.
• "You have recovered completely, Mr. Randhir. You are very lucky to have a wife like Mrs. Sakshi. She is the only reason for your fast recovery," the doctor left saying this.
• "Sakshi, Come here and sit near me. I want to talk to you," Randhir said.
• I went to him with fear and sat near him.
• "Thank you for helping me to recover fast. Do you really love me or you did everything only to pay me back," Randhir said.
• "I did everything only to repay you and as your wife, it's my responsibility to take care of you. That's it. I don't love you."
• Randhir laughed which showedhis pain and hopelessness. I controlled my tears as I don't want him to see my tears.
• "I know about you. You don't love me. I know you will never change."
• Saying this, he caught my hair and pulled it.
• "I won't leave you easily till the truth comes out. How many times are you going to hurt me saying that you don't love me? However whether you love me or not, you should stay with me forever. Don't forget that."
• He left the hold over my hairs and I immediately went out of the room to another room. I sat on the floor crying.
• Randhir:
• I love you, Sakshi. I love you so much. Why don't you understand that? Why do you hurt me always saying that you don't love me? Your eyes show love for me but why don't you accept it? I just want to know the truth behind you leaving me? If you love Ajay, then you didn't you marry him? Where is Ajay? Why did you agree to marry me? Is Ajay alive or dead? or did he betray you?
