“Will you please give your cell phone to me now? I need to make two important phone calls.” holding the paper with her fingers Susmitha asked Sukanya.
“Oh, sure. Why not?” Sukanya said. “But I have no habit to keep my cell phone always with me. I left it in my room. May I go and take it for you?”
“Please.” Pleadingly looking into her eyes Susmitha said.
It had taken only five minutes or so of time to Sukanya to go into her room and took her cell phone with her. Then she handed it to Sukanya.
“Do you have Madhuri’s number with you?” Susmitha asked Sukanya.
“I don’t have it. But Madan sure does have it. May I ask him to share it with me?”
“Please”
Then Sukanya talked with Madan and when finished she looked into the face of Susmitha. “He is going to share it just now.”
“Before that I shall make my first phone call.”
Then while Susmitha was talking with his cousin Seshendra, Sukanya looked at with rather amusement.
“Are not you feeling fear to let them know about your whereabouts now?” Sukanya asked her when Susmitha finished that phone call.
“I have entered into my twenty second year and I am going to be married very soon. I am not feeling any fear from them while this many number of people are protecting me now.” Susmitha said.
“You are absolutely right.” Sukanya laughed and said.
By then Madan shared the number of Madhuri also. Susmitha phoned to Madhuri and talked with her more than half an hour. This time also Sukanya just observed Susmith while she was talking like that with Madhuri.

“It seems madam planned to go somewhere now.”
Madhuri startled and stopped. There were Manohar and his usual two friends Sundar and Chetan standing on the threshold. She did not expect them at all then. She prepared all her luggage and just about to come out and closed the doors.
“Oh, er… yes.” She stammered. She did not know what to say then.
“Will you kindly postpone it for one hour at maximum?”
She was feeling fear to look into the eyes of Manohar then. There was some expression in his face she could not read now. He did not come to her at all recently. Why he had suddenly come now with his friends she could not understand.
“Sure. Please come in.” she walked inside.
They came back of her. She did not see Sundar’s latching the doors from inside.
The four of them settled in the chairs in verandah. Madhuri’s heart was beating fast. If these people did come a few minutes later or if she had started a few minutes before, she could have escaped from this situation.
“May I know where you are going preparing all your luggage like this?” looking at her bags Manohar asked her.
Madhuri was expecting that question but could not prepare with an answer. She did not know what to say to that. If she told him the truth it would hundred percent create havoc.
“I don’t think you suddenly became deaf and dumb. I am expecting an answer.” There was a change in his voice now. It was sharp and threatening.
“Er… yes. I have decided to go to my native place. It is a village and quite good to stay. I wanted to stay there a few days and then come back.” She was not able to look into the eyes of Manohar.
“But you did not tell me about your decision at all. You used to tell me all your programmes in before.” Manohar accusingly said.
“I want to phone to you when I reach there.” It was quite clear to her that he not believed her words. He was just playing with her.
“I see.” Manohar nodded his head. “I think that Susmitha’s marriage as well is going to be performed in your native place itself. It seems that she invited you to come quite in advance. That is why you have started to go there and enjoy the ceremony.”
Madhuri became dumbfounded. She did not know what to say to that. It meant that Susmitha phoned to Manohar as well.
“That devil got the courage. She has entered into her twenty second year and is ready to marry also. She said very soon she marries and expels all of us from her house. She said that we can do nothing to her now.” He was shivering with rage. “You know every bit of this. You know where she is, you know that girl is in love with Madan and about to marry him. Once she entered into her twenty second year and marries also that she gets full rights over her properties.”
Even in that fearful situation also Madhuri smiled in herself. Until Susmitha said to her in phone that she has to marry also after entering into her twenty second birthday to get full rights over the properties of her father, Madhuri did not know about that. This bastard and his family all the time waited for an opportunity to kill her rather than to make her to give some properties as she would not get any right over them until she marries also apart from entering into her twenty second year. She did a very nice thing by not letting her doubt to be known to this bastard that Susmitha might be with Madan.
“If you told me in before where she is, I would have done with her. We would not have been put ourselves in a predicament like this.” The rage in him was becoming more and more.
She then remembered the day when she thought of conveying her guessing of the possibility of Susmitha going to Madan’s home to Manohar. She remembered that too how she had gone to Manohar’s guesthouse to say about that and how she found him with a black lady both of them all naked on the bed.
“You thought that you can escape from me. How could you think of that you can escape without any damage after betraying me like this?” straightly looking into her eyes Manohar asked her.
“Sorry. I could not guess about her whereabouts. I came to know where she is only after she told me.” She lied even she knew he would not believe her at all. “I didn’t know any of this until she phoned to me and told me.” Her voice shivered.
“My assumption is hundred percent right. So she phoned to you and invited you to the marriage also. You both are such good friends always talking and conveying things.” he was not wavering his looks from her face and the expression in his face at that time was fearsome.
“No….no….it is not so.” Madhuri’s voice faltered as she realized what mistake she said. She should not have said about Susmitha’s phone call at all.
“See the courage of that devil now! She challenged me to try to do something to her now. Yes, she is right. She entered into her twenty second year and is going to marry also soon. She is in very protected hands and we cannot do anything to her now. Once she marries, we have to be felt grateful if she feels satisfied by expelling us from her house without throwing us into jail.”
Madhuri just remained silent as she did know what to say. Manohar was appearing very fearsome to her and his both friends were with smiles on her lips.
“How much I did for you? I have given you this house. I have given you lots of money. You have forgotten all about that.”
“Sorry. Cheating you is not at all my intention. I wanted to say everything to you. I wanted to phone to you once I have reached….”
Manohar’s bursting into loud laughter stopped her in the middle. “Are you still thinking I believe you now too? No more. I have come here only to give the correct punishment for your wrongs.”
“What you are going to do to me now?” suddenly there was lot of fear in her. Her subconscious was telling her that something very nasty was going to happen to her then. The sadistic expressions on those three faces was confirming that to her.
“You are going to know about that just in few minutes.” One of Sundar said. She never liked him but he was always attached with Manohar. She did not see that Chetan much and was not at all person to give a good impression to anyone.
“Very soon you do know about it.” Sundar smiled and his facial expression was insinuating something worst to her.
“Better we move into the bed room now. That is the exact place to it.” Chetan said.
“Are you thinking that we are going to venture it here in these chairs? Come we four are going into the bed room now.” Freeing himself from the chair he sat Manohar said.
By then Madhuri could understand what they were planned to do with her. Instantly her heart filled with disgust, hate and fear. Involuntarily her mind brought back the memories of her mother’s helpless cries while she was with two or three men in her room.
“I am not going to allow you people to do anything bad to me.” Madhuri got off from the chair and shrieked.
“We never have thought that you would agree to it happily.” Blocking her way Raja said.
&&&
Madhuri just did not know how much time it took but by the time it was finished her body was with mass of pain and full of blood. She just could not withstand the brute force of those rogues. All the time she just remembered the pathetic cries of her mother and how she suffered in those days. Once she came back to her senses hours after the incident, her heart was filled with burning rage. She felt more angry on her helplessness than those three rogues. What she could do? She was quite powerless in many a thing comparing with them. Anyhow she remembered the warning Manohar gave to her before going away from that place. She must not stay there by the time he came into it again and should not say what happened on her to anyone else. If she disobeyed, would meet with the same fate again. That very thought was creating tremours to her and she slowly came out of that house with her luggage.
&&&
Susmitha and Madan, Vineet and Sukanya’s marriages were performed with lot of pomp. Susmitha not invited many. Almost all the invitees were from Madan and Sukanya’s side. The main invitee on Susmitha’s side was Madhuri.
Susmitha felt quite happier on seeing Madhuri. She kissed on her right cheek. “I am so happy that you have come to my marriage.” Susmitha said.
“How can you feel like this towards me even after I have tried such cruel thing on you?” Madhuri’s eyes were clouded with tears.
“Forget all about that. Everyone does mistakes and you too did. We shall be good friends from now on.” Susmitha said.
“Not just that. I have tried to tell Manohar where you were.” Then Madhuri told Susmitha that her sudden assumption that Susmitha might come to Madan and her trying to convey that to Manohar. “What would have happened to you if I conveyed that to Manohar? Only because I have seen him with that girl so, I have stopped. Otherwise I would have said that to him.”
Susmitha kissed on the other cheek of Madhuri. “Still you can be a good friend to me. Forget everything about the past.”
All the rush and pomp was over and those three were in Sukanya’s room then. “How some people can be as good as you are!” Madhuri said. “But I have paid full for my sins.”
“What you are saying? I cannot understand.” Susmitha said looking into the Madhuri’s face. There was something unexplainable in her expression.
Then Madhuri told her how she was gang raped in the bed room by Manohar and his two friends.
Susmitha shivered with rage on hearing that. “Bastards! Rouges! Scoundrels! Rascals! How dare, how dare they did such a thing to you!” her eyes became red and her palms turned into fists like rocks. “Why did not you have told me about this until now? I am not going to leave them for what they did. I shall see that they would be hanged.”
