CHAPTER
ONE
Madhubala
Malik watched in horror as the men invaded their chawl. It had been happening
these past few months, frequently. They often broke in picking up any girl the
liked and went away. Most of the girls were never to be seen again. During these
random, occurences her mother always would hide her into one their old oak cupbords.
She held in her breath as they searched the house. They often broke their
furniture. Sometimes Madhu wondered wether why god made women, they were
treated like dirt by men. She felt a shuffling in the cupbord itself. Oh shit
it was a cockroach.
She
screamed and suddenly the door was flung open she fell straight into one of the
men and a tear ran down her cheek. The ugly cockroach, snuck out she wrapped
her arms around the man's neck and held her legs in the air.
"Muje
bahut darr lagrah, kuch karona please!" She begged him.
She
felt a hand wrap around her picking her up a little higher.
"Kya
voh ja chuka?" She asked him. The man was rougly handsome, he looked a bit
like Edward Cullen mixed with Ranbir kapoor. Her two loves.
She
heard a click and then a loud shot echoed.
He
just shot the cockroach with his free hand.
"Bittu
ji, tu hamesha ek bhabi chati thi, kaise lagi?" She heard him tell a short
man with rounded stature.
"Atti
sundar chief, lagta hai Malik's hamse ek haseen cheez ko chipalia" She
tried to remove her self from his arms. She had put on a lenga, that her
neighbour Trishna had lent her, she had been getting ready for weddiing before,
The Doraki's had arrived.
His
hand touched the exposed skin of her lover back.
"Yeh
kya bathmeezi hai, choro" She muttered trying to pull away.
"RK,
naam hain mera aur ab se tum mujko tumhari swami bulow" He said leaning in
and sniffing her hair. She tried to pull away but he beared no heed.
"Chief
yeh hogi tumhari ab kya 10 th biwi" Bittu ji said laughing rather nastily.
Her mother stood at the door tears pouring down her eyes.
"Kya
karo Bittu ji jab ladkiyon bhag jathi toh muje na acha nahi lagti, gusa athi
aur uskohi meh nikalti" Then he wrapped his arm tighter around Madhu.
"Sasu
ma, ab se yeh RK, tumhari seva sab kuch karunga, jab tak yeh ladki mere saath
hi rehti" Madhu did her best to try and untangle her self from his arms.
The red bangles on her wrist broke at the strenght in his hold.
"Kya
kari, tumhari melaam hatoon par nishaana chorugi. Chup jap mere saath aona agar
nahi ayee meh tumhara paroso vali ladki ko mere admiyon dedungi" Trishna,
she would never let anything happen to her. Madhu flinched she stopped
struggling and held his hand defeatedly. Padmini held her hand at the door.
"Math
jao Madhu, yeh tumhari zindagi badbaad karugi, math jao" Madhu hugged her
and held her tears in.
"Ma
sab kuch teek hogi, chinta math karu na" She told her mother, they were
empty words. His hand tightened on her's.
"Sasu
ma, meri biwi ko choro na voh meri property hain" Madhu felt a hard tug.
She could not remember walking down the steps and getting into his car. But he
held her in his lap. He seemed to be the leader. She wondered how many girls he
had taken before, like this. The thought sickened her. He handed her pristine
white hanki with his initials on it.
"Asu
ponchlon Biwi, muje yeh rohna dhona pasand nahi karthi, kisi bhi cheez tumse
asu nikalti muje kedho mein usko katham karugi" He said, Madhu felt
awkward in his arms he used every opportunity he could to touch her.
"Tu
mera pathi nahi hain, bas karo" Madhu said annoyed, she looked out the
window she felt him pull one of the glass bangles of her wrist. He broke it
easy and picked up one of the sharper edges. He peirced his thumb and lifted it
and filled her forhead. Madhu held her breath in. He was utterly insane she
concluded. They came to a stop outside, a large house. Kundra mansion was written
on a plaque outside.
"Apni
sasural mein tumhara swagath, hain meri Rajkumri" He muttered winking at
her, everytime he looked at her with positively hungry eyes. Madhu felt a
strange uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
"Babhi
ji, kitna sundar hain RK bhaya, uski kohi behen vehen nahi hai?" One of
his men said making him laugh.
"Nahi,
sirf ek hain, aur sirf meri hain" He said Madhu felt like he had chained
her somehow invisibly to him.
He
then lifted her up bridal style and took her inside.
"Hamri
ghar mein koi doosra aurath nahi hai" He said , as he walked up some steps
and went down a corridor there was so many rooms in this house. Madhu wondered
how was it possible for so many men to stay without women.
"Aur
yeh humari kamra" He kicked the door open, there was a mosquito net around
the bed which was very big. The entire room was huge, you could probably fit
two of her homes in it.
He
put her down on the bed, and looked at her.
"Pasand
aya?" He asked her she said nothing and curled into a ball, resting her
chin on her knee's. He locked the room door, and picked up a chair and sat
across her and stared at her. She shifted and looked the other way.
She
heard a shift, and the bed dipped.
She
felt his forcefully grab her until she sat next to him.
"Koi
cheez mujse ek bar jurthi voh asni se mujse nahi ja sakti, agar meh chandh
pasand karthi hoon main usko cheentah hoon" Madhu looked away, he took one
of her hands and kissed them. She turned away he pressed himself onto her. She
felt her self, somehow lie fully onto the bed with him ontop of her. He pressed
her so hard into the bed that she felt it creek. His mouth found her own. His
teeth grabbed her bottom lip and sucked hard onto it. Never having kissed
anyone before.
***
She
could still feel him inside her, her centre hurt, though he stayed inside her,
ontop of her. He was asleep.
She
tried to moved, but he held her so tightly.
He
had taken her virginity, and slept so easily after ripping her out of her life
so thoroughly.
He
had no consious he had left his gun on the bed side.
Her
entire body felt sore.
She
fell asleep, only to awaken by his desire.
***
"Biwi,
uthona" He said, he was wearing a white button down shirt. With a careless
smile.
He
leaned in and kissed her lips.
"Maine
kal manwayi kapre designer salwar kameez ka sets tumhari liyyeh" Madhu
stared at the long rail. He picked up one in a dark green with silver border
and threw it on the bed.
"Jaldi
pehen lo, agar nahi pehna mein tumko pehana" Madhu, picked it up and at a
snails pace and got ready. He sat on the bed waiting for her as she brushed her
hair. He pulled out a mangal sutra from his pocket and quickly put it around
her neck turning her around her he dug into his pocket and opened a little box
containing sindoor and filled her mang.
"Ab
tu Mrs Kundra lagti" He said with a dimpled smile. He snaked an arm around
her waist and pulled her downstairs. There was the same group of men from
yesterday all noisly seated around a table. They were eating what looked like
take out food. Madhu looked at RK, and wondered if she proposed she would cook
for his men would he let her go to the market for vegetables and from there she
could escape him. And forget he ever touched her.
"Kya
mein sab keh liyeh badh mein khana bana sakti?" She asked him quietly, he
looked at her shocked.
"Tu
bhol sakti" He said laughing and kissing her cheek unashamedly. Madhu
could not hide the love bites he had made all over her neck or her bee stung
mouth. The men knew probably with one glance he had her.
"Tu
kitna sweet, ofcourse" He said dishing food onto her plate for her and
making her eat. She felt so hungry and ate her fill.
"Babhi
ji tu RK bhaya ke saath bahut achi lagti" Someone said, she felt him grab
her hand under the table.
RK
showed her the kitchen which was fully stocked. So perhaps at the end of the
week she wondered then she could make the suggestion. He followed her around
the kitchen touching her lightly every now and again. Madhu began to make the
roti he stood behind wrapping his arms around her waist.
She reached
out and messed his cheek with flour. And laughed at his shocked expression.
Instead of throwing any flour back on her.
He
grabed her and wiped his cheek on her.
"Chief,
voh Kuku Bhatya agaya voh sirf tumse voh lokhade shipment kebare mein bath karna"
Bittuji said blocking his eyes. Madhu blushed and hid her face.
"Usko
bolo ki yeh uska baap ka ghar nahi aur bahar mein jaye meri shadi ko ek din bhi
nahi hoyee mein apni biwi ke saath akele rehna. Sab kaam cancel karlo"
Madhu finished making the food. Which was a hit with the men.
RK
watched her the entire day.
"Tu
meri shakal se bor to nahi?" She asked him after having changed into her
PJ's and was brushing her hair. The love bites, all over her neck somewhat had
darkened.
"Main
puri zindagi bitawongi tumse dekh kar ke" He muttered as he loaded and
unloaded his gun.
Madhu
felt uneasy as she took her time brushing her hair. She did not want herbody to
betray her like yesterday and welcome his every touch.
"Maan
kartha hai ki kisi sunsaan jage mein tumse sabse door rakhe aur sirf muje tumko
dekhna bas" Madhu put the brush down and woke up.
"Yahaan
ayee" he said opening his arms. She reluctantly walked towards him. He
grabbed her arm and pulled her into his lap. His one hand was spent around her
waist while the other was holding his gun.
"Biwi,
itna sundar math dekhna, ki RK ki nazar tum par ajaye main darthi" He said,
Madhu allowed him to bury his face into her neck.
***
Madhu
refused to eat that morning and sat near the window on a old rocking chair. She
wondered how long it would take for him to get her pregnant. He probably
already had the thought of somehow forever being tied to him made her shudder.
She had to get out of here soon.
He
had left for some important work at a docks and had told her to eat properly
and explore the house meet all of the men. He had asked whome Madhu assumed was
his right hand man Bittu ji to stand outside her door. She felt her stomach
mumble asking for food but she ignored it and stayed put. The evening came and
RK entered the room. She ignored the urge to turn and look but from the corner
of her eye she could see him covered in blood. She couldn't help but turn and
scan his form, he had a cut on his head.
"Tumhari
sar par kya hua?" She asked reaching out and touching his cheek.
He
stared at her for a moment.
"Voh
admi jisne kiye ki haal poochona biwi" Madhu, remembered seeing a first
aid box in a drawer. She looked through for some wound cleanser. He hissed in
pain.
"Sorry"
She blew on his wound and then put a bandage on it.
"Agar
tu use kiss karthi, toh voh abi teek hojayga" Madhu hesitated but what
would a little kiss do she kissed him on his head briefly. He smiled the white
salwar kameez she wore made her look like an angel. She was very small infront
of him.
"Naha
le tu" Madhu said, he went to the bathroom. She felt dizzy.
***
She
woke up on the bed in his black sheets.
"Bittuji
ne kaha apne kuch nahi khaya" RK brought in a tray, filled with food.
"Muje
bookh nahi hain" Madhu looked away while, RK placed the tray down.
"Tumne
kyu meri baath dali thi?" He asked her, Madhu shrugged.
"Pyaar
karthi sirf tumse meri jaan, mera baath toh mani chaiyeh, main kabhi gussa nahi
karthi. Kisi aur ek tapar marthi agar uski biwi aisi karthi haan nahi
toh?" He held a piece of roti to her mouth.
"Tu
kabhi gussa mere upar nikali toh?" Madhu asked, he held her chin open and
pushed the food into her mouth.
"Agar
ek din ayeh, meh tum ko peethu toh tum na mujko goli marona" Madhu looked
away, she would not be swayed by his crazed love. He probably told this to
every girl he forced and brought home.
He
forcefully fed her.
"Muje
aur nahi chaiyeh" She moaned her stomach felt heavy. He still some how
made her eat it. He ate and then cleared the trey. Madhu layed down sleepily.
He had kept her awake almost every night since she got here taking her 5 to 6
times. He touched her cheek.
He
woke her with a kiss a long sweet one.
***
Madhu
pretended to be asleep a week later when RK came to bed.
"Natak
math karona tum janthe ki ab kya hoga, tu nah bolungi main tum he ignore
karungi, aur tab mein tumhe pane, jab mein tumhari andar hoon na, aur tum mere
bahoon mein ajati aur neend mein jahti, voh pal tumhe zaroor enjoy karthi natak
to phir kis liyee" He said, Madhu felt heat rush to her cheeks by his
words. He sat her upright.
"Tu
baht nahi karthi?" He asked biting her lip.
"Mein
tumhara bakwas ka koi jawaab nahi dehna" Madhu said pulling away. She had
grown used to him. He despite his age sat at the head of his table and always
brought the table to a silence with the meer appearence.
She
began cooking, their meals. The seemed to accept her. Madhu found it odd that
none of them were married.
She
succumbed to him.
***
Madhu
found a cat near the kitchen door it meweld softly she picked it up and petted
it. It purred happily the fur was a strange orange colour. It was rather small.
She picked it up and carried it into the house. It had no collar, so it must
have been a stray.
"Babhi
ji, chief does not like animals" Bittu ji said starrying at the cat with a
look of distaste.
She
scratched the cat which was a boy, she took out a sauser and poured in some
milk.
"Voh
kuch nahi kahenge" Madhu said picking him up and taking him to the room.
RK
got home around 4, he did not expect to find Madhu on the bed cuddling, an
orange ball of fur. He felt rather envios, as she kept gently rubbing the cat,
he wished on day she would touch his face so gently.
"Yeh
kahaan se aya?" He asked placing his gun on the table.
Madhu
whispered something to the cat.
"Voh
kitchen main ayeh thi" She said, looking at it adoringly.
He
felt annoyed, why could she love that but not him. He gave her everything a
poor middle class girl could ever dream off.
"Naam
kya rakha?" He asked, siting next to her.
"Bahsir"
She said.
"Agar
tu rakna jati, toh tum muje kiss karna" He said, She could not believe for
the first time in her life she would be allowed a pet. She let go and of Bahsir,
and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Thank
you"
She
muttered. And she awkwardly kissed his lips.
"Sirf
isi liyee kyu ki uska naam mere naam backwards hain" Madhu blushed and he
kissed her redened cheek.
The
cat hissed at him and and strached at his shirt.
"Aur
yeh bhi pasand nahi karthi jab uski jaan kisi aur keh pas" RK said. Madhu
rolled her eyes.
"Pehli
voh meri biwi baadh main voh tumhari mummy" He said putting him out their
bedroom door.
"Agar
tum ko ek tukra directly from your dil meriyeh rakha, toh meri zindagi, bahut
ache jayengi" Madhu allowed him to hold her until he fell asleep.
***
Madhu
was making the morning tea when she heard Bittu ji speaking with someone on the
phone.
"Voh
uski nahi biwi, har 2-3 mina voh ek nahi lathi, aur usko pyaar karne
lagjayenge, aur phir voh chorthi" Madhu cringed. At his words this was all
a game to RK, yeh pagaloo jaise mohobath aur uski junoon sab ek nahtak tah.
"Haan
janta hoon, voh..." Madhu did not listen to the rest she fell down to the
floor, and the world blanked on her.
***
Madhu
woke up, with RK holding her hand, while a doctor examined her.
"Congradulations,
Mr. Kundra, aapki biwi peth se hai" Madhu blinked shocked, a tear ran down
her cheek. She was unsure of a tomorow.
But
suddenly she was sucked into his vortex, forever.
She
would be tied to a man that would replace her in a month.
~The
end~
