HEART SAVIOR

Delhi (India)

A pin drop silence was there in the air, under the broad day light of around 2 o'clock, and the entire house was in complete disarray. As if a heavy blow of wind came and destroyed everything, leaving gloominess and mess.

Glass shards were scattered all over the floor. It seemed like the house had not been cleaned for quite a few days. Clothes were lying here and there, and in some places, there were several pieces of broken glass bangles. On one side, a bloodstained bed looked desolate.

Her entire body was writhing in pain. She had so little strength left that she couldn't even stand on her own. Before her, the same scene replayed over and over again—the moment when that person, in a state of intoxication, brutally beat her, and even worse, forced himself upon her. She pondered, "Does a husband really harm his wife so brutally? Does a husband forcefully violate her without her consent? Does a husband imprison his own wife like a prisoner?”

But this all was happening with her.

Her own husband raped her last night, even though he was the person... the person she liked, the person of her choice, the person she loved. Despite that, today she started fearing him and developed hatred towards him.

Recalling the incident from the previous night, she closed her eyes in pain, lying on the ground. Numerous tears rolled down her swollen cheeks.

Due to crying, her entire face turned red. Even in such a miserable state, she appeared like a beautiful artwork. Deep black eyes with long lashes, snow-white skin adorned with several scars, long hair that hadn't been combed for who knows how many days, causing them to tangle with each other.

In the name of clothing, there was only a nightgown that came in violet color down to its knees, with strings to tie over her shoulders which was also open, leaving her body exposed.

She didn't had that in her to cover her exposed self. And even cover it from whom or for whom? When the guardian of this body, who should protect her, was a wolf in the form of a human.

Last Night

“N-Ut..Utkarsh I'm on my periods please… please don't do it today”, she plea with a crying tone.

“Did I asked for your opinion?”, he roared at her. And flinching, she shivers in terror while her eyes get shut closed and hands cup her ears.

"No... no... but I'm getting stomach ache."

"So, what do you want? Should I bring you chocolates like the guys or take you out for an outing... or maybe bring your pads, huh?”, he grits and lands a harsh slap over her face.

With whose intensity, she fell abruptly from the bed, causing the black glass bangles on her hand to shatter, scattering in pieces on the floor, and some piercing into her hand.
