“Do u want some drink….??” I asked her as soon we entered my apartment….
“Yes….please…” She gave a tiresome reply…of course she would be tried Bcoz of that heavy bridal dress…. Yet she was looking stunning….I couldn’t take my eyes off her….
I removed my coat…and went to kitchen to check some….drinks… If any…. Bcoz I hardly drink…. While finding….I went to into a flashback…. The flashback of…how we got married…. Filmy style…. I brushed my thoughts away….and went back to the hall..where she sitting…on the couch…… Resting her head back…..
“Here….” I offered her one glass…as soon as it filled…. I was sitting beside her…..
“U live alone here..” She questioned…taking the glass….. “I mean…who’s there in ur family…..???” She added
“I’ll tell u…everything….just wait…. Till this bottle finishes…. We will play a game…. For knowing eo past….” I winked at her…. She looked confused with my answer..but we sat down there…. Quietly..drinking….. We were sharing an intense eye lock….whenever she asked for more….this drink was surely making her bold…. She asked for the last glass…but the drink finished fortunately….
She drank more than u … God….shame on Dev….. My chauvinistic ego groaned at me….
I recovered from my thoughts…. “Let’s play now…” She nodded….. We walked up to the dining table…which was placed behind this couch…. I sat on the head chair…and she sat beside me….
“Listen to the rules…carefully….” I almost warned her…. And again she nodded….
“We are going to play…the typical truth dare game…. But….this way…we will tell our past to eo….so it will be somewhat different….” I glanced at her carefully
“But u know me…..” She said….. “I have been working as ur secretary since last year”
“Not all of u….. Ms. Sonakshi Bose…” I replied mockingly….wile she flushed….. “And u also owe the explanation of last night….” With this…I could see her expressions changing….
“Ok….let’s start…” She says firmly….
I spun the bottle….and it was her turn first….. Oh yeah….I wanted that….”Truth or dare”
“Truth…” She sighed…… Ik why..Bcoz she think…I will ask about her past….but not so soon…. I have many questions from myside to her….
“Was there any….. Lady…. Ummm….mmm…. Ishwari Dixit…. Where u lived…???” I questioned her in hesitation… Her expressions changed to excited state…. “Yes….yes…. She was there…. Ishwari Anty…. But …why r u asking….and how do u know….???” She questioned….
“It isn’t ur turn…. Don’t be so desperate…. U will know everything about me…. After all…I are my wife now…” I caressed her face
I again spun….and again it was at her…. “Yes…..” I gasped
“Truth…” She answered herself…. She smart… She don’t want to ask again and again same thing….
I took out my wallet….and show her the photo..I had in my wallet….. “Is she the one….???” I asked her
“Yeah….” She answered with confused expressions…. “But, I think it’s her old photo…. And who is the boy with her…. The boy is so cute….and Ishwari is looking so young and beautiful….. I think… This boy is her son…. She always used to talk about him….” She started blabbering and took photo from my hands….and I was sitting there teary eyed…
“But…where did u get this photo….???” She asked…. I have no reply…. “Don’t tell me… U r that Dev…which Ishwari Anty kept talking…. U r the one….her son….” She as aid after a moment…… This girl is really intelligent…..
Without replying…..I again spun the bottle….and fish….. It’s at me…. I cursed myself….
“Truth” I said….
“Same question….. Are u ishwari’s Anty son…???” She narrowed her eyes at me
“Yes….” I said….. And she beamed with pleasure… I thought…she will get angry….
“We take her out of that place tomorrow….. That place will be closed now…. She will be extremely happy to know this…. She will be extremely to know… That her Dev…found her…” She was looking more excited than me…. I found my mother after twenty years….I should be happy….but she is more…
“Yeah…..” I said wiping the tears which escaped….without my permission
I spun my bottle again…. It’s her…. Yes…. I mentally thanked God…. Now it’s her turn to me her past…..
“Truth….” She said unbelievably
“Tell me about everything about ur past…. From the start…. What were doing there last night….and many more questions….” She sighed at my question….and started
“Born in a brothel…..to a pr*stitute and that too by mistake…. Spending my childhood their….seeing that filth….and forcing me also to join that…” She sobbed…..
“Ur mother…Ishwari Anty I mean…..and my mom were best friends….since their childhood…. They were very close to eo….knowing eo really well…. As soon as they grew up…. Both eloped with their boyfriends….and both were brothers……and ended up being in that place….. Their boyfriends flirted…took them to their bed….had their pleasures…and then sold them to a man working in brothel….
After nine months….. Both gave birth to us… U and me…. Their boyfriends used to visit them but…when they got to knew about their children….. They placed u there in an orphanage and I ended up being their….Bcoz I was a girl….. A heiress of their bl**dy business…..” She started crying loudly….. And I too have some tears in my eyes….. “Then” I asked eagerly….
“Then……aaahhhh” she took a deep breath…
“I was of fifteen years….when my mom died infront of my eyes….. A man killed her Bcoz she wasn’t able to put up to his pleasure….. I was shattered….and Ishwari Anty was also….. Both friends kept regretting their decisions…once they reached there….. Ishwari Anty took care of me….and saved me from the eyes of men….. But as she grew old….. She had to leave…..and they started forcing me to do this…. I was adamant not to….and Anty also tried to save…..but she couldn’t….. That day…. One man came to my room….. Using my all nerves….I offered him a drink…. He drank it…..and after ten minutes before he could do anything to me….. He died….” She laughed between her tears
“Drink….dead…. How…??? Did u added anything…??” I asked….and she laughed more making me frightened
“I added rat-killer pills in it…. He drank it….and died…. I immediately changed the date on the wine bottle….and I was saved…..” She winked at me
“Wow….u r such a genius….” I was amazed….seriously, so clever…. “Then….didn’t anyone suspected u…?”
“Nah….. First….two-three died Bcoz of drink….. And as I was young and inexperienced do i didn’t get more…. But some were injured badly….. I used the wine bottle or vase….and hit them on their head….and as self-defence….I would injure myself….and they were out from there…..four-five times I remained in washrooms for hours if the man was healthy and sturdy….and sometimes, if he was young boy….I would make him drink more…and would scare him….u know ghosts and Devils…etc etc…and they will get scared easily…..” She was so happy….and feeling relieved telling about the killings she did….. And I was scared…. She was seriously beauty with brains….
“Then…as I grew up….I used these tricks…and was saved….. And then… I started my job…..first, I took some advertising company…to keep myself away from men….but then at night…the crowd was more….so I joined ur office last year….due to which…I stayed late at nights at office….and would save myself…. Ishwari Anty was really glad…..she and me shared that beautiful bond….and I told her about what I used to do with men….. And one day… The head unfortunately listened our convo….and he made me as a erotic dancer….at bars…. Where u found me last night….. Actually, I think….the dancer role was easier….Bcoz there….u don’t have to loose ur virginity……to any bas**rd” She is really smart…. I thought….
“Then why u allowed me to touch u last night…. And also u lost ur virginity to me….u didn’t even stabbed me….. Why…???” I questioned bemused
“U r different…Dev….” She said…… “How?” I asked
“U r different…Bcoz no men…till today…tried to take me out of that place…. U were very caring….from the start since I joined the office…. U always…tried to save the respect of women….I have seen…..and noticed it personally…… The way u dragged me out of the bar yesterday…… Ur eyes…full red in anger….and ur suddenly ur coat around me…. Me in ur apartment last night….. Everthing was showing ur love…and care…. Respect for me…..for every women” she was saying all this looking in my eyes…..
“I have seen the ruthlessness of men throughout my life…. But u were so soft….loving…. I gave myself completely to u….. I wanted to lost my self in u….and my dream came true….when u took over me…..last night…. I fell in love with u…..” She added
Suddenly, I felt something cold at my lips….and there she is…. Kissing me…passionately…. I also replied with equal passion…. We stood up still kissing and went in our room…..
After coming to climax….of our love making….. We slept in eo embrace….. I was extremely happy to meet my mother….. I Have always carved for mothers love but…..tomorrow she will be with me…. My patience has paid off…. My eyes always searched for her days and night…..everywhere I went…. Her only photograph….with me as an infant….I took from the orphanage…..
Next morning,
I was remembering…..how Sona woke up and started crying over losing her virginity….and I arranged everything after that…we got married….. I’m was in love with her since she joined office…. U know love at first sight…. But couldn’t confess…. But after knowing everything now….. I’m loving her more….and more…..
She brought tea for me….and also me out of my world….
“Get ready soon….we have to take mom from there….” Mom….a new revelation….. She’s accepting everthing so fast…. I love her….
“I love u” I hugged her still sitting in my bed…. “I love u too” again a revelation…..she’s gonna kill me…. She loves me….. Yay yay…. My subconscious danced happily
We went to that place….and I made Sona sit in the car and asked her not to come out…. I walked through the stairs up…. And a man was sitting with an album placed close to him….. I immediately called the police….and put the mobile in my pocket to let the cops hear the convo…..
“Come sir…. Which girl do u want….???” He handover me a album
“She’s is the most se*y one here…. And most priced one too…” He motioned to one of them….
We kept on talking…..until the cops reached there…as at night I told them what to do…. It was full proof plan….
They captured the area…. Freed all the girls and women…. Took the men to police station who were involved…. Some women…whose families won’t accept them…were sent to NGOs….. Media reporters gathered that place…. And I ran with my mom….before anyone could catch me…for interview
I grabbed mom’s hand….and make her sit in car…. She was confused….obviously she didn’t know me….and haven’t seen me…. As soon as she saw…Sona… She questioned her…..
“Sona…. Where were u….??? I was waiting for u…. I was so tensed…” She frowned…. “And who is he….?? What r we both doing in his car….??” She added…. During this I was had started driving the car…. I saw her frowning at Sona….and asked Sona…to keep quiet……
“Mom….don’t scold ur daughter-in-law like that….” Me and Sona giggled…. At first, she couldn’t understand….but then she understood…..
“Dev…..” She said with trembling voice…. I stopped the car…. And hugged her…. Sona also joined us from the back seat….
“Keep smiling…. Stay happy….” She blessed us and again we trio shared a hug…..
