Roshni's POV

Last day, I asked the doctor about my parents but he ignored me and left. Grumpy look!

I realised someone is entering in the room.

Aman:Good morning, Roshni. Did you sleep well?

Roshni: Yes. Can you please call my parents now?

Aman's POV

She is again asking about her parents. How to break the news to her that they already abandoned her 1.5 months back?

Aman:I..I called them. They ..will come soon.

I lied. I had to.

Roshni:Is that so? Accha, they aren't mad at me na? I mean that inciedent.. Ghussa tph nahi hai na wo log?

Aman: Don't think about that, muchkin. Have your breakfast.

Roshni:Why didnt you come last night? I was waiting for you..

Aman: Looks like someone missed me!

Roshni: No, I mean I just wanted to talk and also apologise.

Aman:Kyun?

Roshni: I shouted at you yesterday, I felt guilty later. I am at fault in the whole matter and I was shouting at you for no reason..

Aman: Galti apki nahi hai. Jo hua, galat hua par ap galat nahi hai.

Roshni: Apko aisa lagta hai? Ammi abbu se baat kia na apne? Unko bhi aisa lagta hai na?

I became silent again.

Roshni: Doctor? Ap chup kyun hojate hai?

Aman: Enough of talking, my chatter box! Now eat. You are looking so pale. You were given only liquid food in last 1.5 months, you need to eat properly and I will make a diet chart for you.

Roshni: Fawad aya tha?

Aman: Fawad? Koun?

Roshni:Mera ..fiancee.. We got engaged and iss saal ke ending mein shaadi hone wali thi ..

Aman:Oh , I didnt find any ring..

Roshni: Expensive tha toh, usne bola utaarke rakhne ko. Actually arrange marriage hai hamari (blushing)

I passed a weak smile to her. I don't why I am feeling bad by listening to her.

Roshni:Wo aya hoga, apse baat nahi hui hogi.. Can you call him? Main number batati hun,mujhe yaad hai.

Aman:Han..sure!

I called on the number she said. A person picked up the call. She told me to put it on speaker. I was getting weird vibes, still couldnt refuse her.

[ON CALL]

Aman: Assalamualaikum. Is this Fawad?

Fawad: Ji batayein.

Aman:Actually I am calling you from Junaid Hospital. I wanted to talk about Roshni Ahm-

He cut me off.

Fawad: I don't know any Roshni.

I tightened my fist. Roshni was already in tears.

Aman: But.. she is your fiancee!

Fawad: Is that bitch awake? Did she said so? Tell her to shut the fuck up.

Aman:Jabaan samhalke, Mr.Fawad.

Fawad: What does she expect? After all these, I will accept her? I can't marry a rape victim. She is a used thing now.

Roshni was getting angry as well.

Roshni: I don't want to marry a person like you either. Thank you for everything. I thought that you loved me but you proved me wrong. And I. AM.NOT.A.THING. Do you get that? Good bye Mr. Fawad.

She cut the call not letting him speak further. She was controlling till now but she burst into tears now. I went near her to comfort.

Roshni:Bas..aur nahi horaha hai.. Wo bhi bakiyo jaise nikla..Meri kya galti? Main bas ghar laut rahi thi and those boys..they just grabbed me. They made me smell something and ..I wasnt in my sesnses.

Aman:Its okay..its okay..

Roshni:I was getting my senses in between. I was .. it was so painful, doctor. I was screaming but they didnt stop.They didnt, they didnt. They treated me as a toy and..and they.. Abhi bhi darr lag raha hai ki wo log phirse..ajayenge aur mujhe phirse-

She became unconcious in my arms. I cant even imagine what she was going through. I didnt tell her about her parents yet. I dont know how she is gonna react. Why everyone on earth is so ctuel with this poor soul? I am not gonna leave that Fawad as well. How dare he!

I put her back to sleep.

Sleep well, angel!

I sat back on the couch. Her mental health is ruining. I need to change her environment as soon as possible.

...

Its been 2 hours since she is sleeping. I caressed her hairs. She opened her eyes.

Roshni: Doctor.. Ammi abbu ayein kya?

Aman: Chaliye uthiye madam, khana finish karna hai..

Roshni: I am having pain here.. Ap kuch karo na please?

Before I could react, I heard a knock on the door.

Aman: Yes, come in.

Police had came. Yes, that day after I started treatment,police had come and they started complaining that we started the treatment before they came. But Roshni was more important then. I filed an FIR on behalf of her.

The police men are staring Roshni. I don't like their stares and I saw that my girl was not comfortable with their stare.

Aman: Yes, inspector. Batayein kya krne ayein hai..

Inspectr: Unko hosh agaya so ham kuch sawal karna chahenge..

I looked into her eyes. She nodded in yes.

Aman:Yes,you can proceed.

Inspector: Well, let us talk.

The inspector took a seat infront of her. I was about to move but Roshni held my hand tightly. The inspector looked on and I can bet that he didnt like it at all.

Inspector: So, Miss Roshni Ahmed, what was the date?

She looked at me and I assured her that everything was fine through eyes.

Roshni: 2nd March.

Inspector: Tell me how it all happened.

Aman: I already informed you.. Dobara puchke unko stress kyun-

Inspector: We need to take her statement.

Roshni: It was around ..8.. I was returning back to home after finishing my classes.

Inspector: Itni raat tak kounse classes?

Roshni: Actually.. I want to be a model so I was working on a project.. I got late and-

Inspector: Model, interesting!

Roshni: I was walking.. there was no auto and..and all on a sudden some boys grabbed me. They were drunk. I couldnt see the faces properly. They made me smell something-

Inapector: Did you count how many boys were there?

Aman:What kind of question is this?

Inspector: Dont teach us Doctor Aman. We know our work well. And these kinda girls as well.

Roshni: What did you mean by these kinda girls? I havent committed any crime, I am raped. They did wrong. With me! Meri galti thi?

I am tightening my fists only. I can feel that she is uncomfortable. She is trying hard to be strong.

Imspector: Shut up. We know better.

Aman:Enough. That was actually enough. I will send her other reports. Now can you please excuse her? She is not in a condition to talk further. Thank you for coming.

The inspector left giving me a cold glare. I was looking at my girl only.

As soon as they left, I took her in my arms. I know that she needed it and more than her, I NEEDED IT. She is crying silently. I know the reason. I know that what they meant. She needs to stay like this in my arms. I will protect her, I promise!

Writer's note- Sometimes the victims are treated with cruelty. People made the victim feel like it was the victim's fault only. No one can umderstand what kinda situation a girl go through in such situations. If we people cant comfort, we shoudnt question as well.
