Aditi's point of view

Thud..

I fell on the floor of our living room when mummy pushed me harshly and that time no one is here to catch me in his arms and save me from falling. My body started shaking when I started crying on my fate. Fresh tears escaped from my eyes and I could not stop them if I want to.

"I know you are a worthless girl but I never know that you become a slut now." I turn my face to mummy and more tears streamed out from my eyes when I heard such words from her mouth.

I know she doesn't think high of me but

Slut..

Seriously...

Is every mother in this entire world could say such words to her own daughter?

"Mummy please belive me. I have not done anything that put our family in shame. I know my limits." I said while joining my both hands together in front of mummy.

"Belive you...? How could we belive you when we saw the proof from our eyes." Mummy said through her greeted teeth.

I got up on my feet and walked to papa whose eyes were filling with anger. He turned his face from me when I looked at him with plead, with a lots of courage I took his both hands in mine and said in my broken and shaky voice, "Papa, please trust me...there is nothing between me and Dhruv. He was just helping me that day. "

Smack..

Suddenly I stumbled on my feet. I hold the glass table to balance myself and my hand cupped my right cheek as soon as papa slapped me.

"I don't want to hear more lies from your filthy mouth and don't touch me next time. Your touch makes me feel disgust. Now I have to bath in Ganga jal to pure my soul." He said abominably and it hurts to see that I makes my father feel disgust.

"Papa, she studied enough. Find a decent boy and get her marry."

My head snapped to Atul bhiya and I looked at him in shock. Horror filled in my eyes and my heart started beating faster when I registered his words.

No...no...

It can't be.

I don't want to get marry now. I want to study further and want to do the good job after completing my graduation. Moreover I am still under age. Atul bhiya is educated, he also knows the rules then how could he suggest such things to papa. It will be crime if my family get me marry now. I will die if something happened like this.

I crawled to papa and hold his both legs.

"Papa, please don't...I beg you Please don't get me marry now." I begged to papa while holding his legs but he pushed me away from him and I crawled to mummy and started begging from her by holding her legs.

"Mummy, Please tell papa, don't do this to me. I beg you mummy Please. I will do everything what you will ordered me. I will all house chores alone. I washed all the dishes and do laundry alone. I will be your maid for 24×7 but Please mummy let me study further. I beg you mummy, Please don't get me marry. I am still under age..Please..." I started cry while holding her legs but her eyes don't show any mercy for me.

"How could we belive in you after you betrayed me." Atul bhiya said through his greeted teeth. I went to him on my knees and hold his both legs and asked for his mercy.

"Bhiya Please belive in your sister for last time. I won't do anything like this again in my life. I will never talk to any boy in future. I will never make friends but please give me one more chance. Please don't stop my studies. I beg your mercy, please Atul bhiya just last chance." I put my head on his leg and my body started shaking when I broke into many sobs.

"Please beat me if you want, starve me till death, makes me do house chores till my last breath but Please don't get me marry. Where will you get a free maid like me. Please just last chance." I closed my eyes and more tears escaped from my eyes.

Never ever think in my life that daughter has to beg in front of her family to continue her study. I never imagin in my whole life I will be ready to be a free maid for my own family so they stop my studies and won't me marry to someone else.

Why Nisha..?

Why...?

Why did you do this to me? Everyone knows Dhruv is not like this and nothing could happen between me and Dhruv then why did you lie to my family.

Why you fucked up my already fucked up life?

Maybe you are the princess of your father and brother but I am not. I already have tough time to make them talk to me. They hardly belive me on anything then why you cut the last stand of their trust on me.

You never have a problem to chase after your dream, you get what you want before you even ask but this is not with me. I am different from you. I have to work hard to complete my dreams. But after this stunt of yours, I am not sure my parents will let me continue my study. You steal the only family I have. My parents don't love me like they do to Atul bhiya. Before they atleast talk to me but now they will never talk to me. Suddenly my mind diverted to the one particular person.

Dhruv..

How is he?

Is he alright?

He fell unconscious.

God Please don't let anything happen to Dhruv. Today he supported me and stood against my parents. No one did this to me. Though I was nothing for him maybe he did all of that out of pitty but he did the things which no one ever did to me. He took a stand for me and tried to save me from my family's wrath.

Maybe I am just a neighbor to him but he is my all life.

He is the love of my life.

My love..

My Dhuv will hate me after tonight.

The only person who looked at me with respect, now hates me to core. How could I match my eyes to Dhruv after today. He will never forgive me to insult him and her family. Maybe after that Divya also won't talk to me. You steal the only friend I have.

You steal everything from me.

Why you did this to me Nisha?

Why?

"Fine...I don't have a stone heart." My train of thought broke by papa and I looked at him with hope. New set of tears escaped from my eyes when I looked at him with plead.

"You can continue your study but when you turn 18 I will marry you off. After that you won't have any relation with us."

My lips curled up and I smile through my tears.

"Don't get your hope up. If something ever happens ever again in future, I will all the relation with you Get into your mind." Papa warned me while pointing his finger to me. His every word laced with venom and I know how much he loathes me right now.

Atul bhiya jerked me away, pushing me to the ground while frowning to me. But I am more than happy to noticed it.

"Thankyou papa..thankyou so much for letting me complete my studies. I promise, I won't disappoint you." I smiled through my tears and wipe them off when tears escaped from my eyes.

"But Papa.."

Papa show Atul bhiya his palm to him in mid sentence.

"Atul she is still minor and I don't want any police case on my head. I don't want your future get effect because of this worthless girl. I promise when she turned 18, I will get her marry." Papa said while shooting daggers to me.

"But she deserves a punishment for what she did." Mummy intrupted.

"Then give her. What are you waiting for son. Do whatever you want to with her." I looked at papa horrifically when he announced my punishment.

"Gladly papa.."

Mummy and papa both leave the room, leaving me and Atul bhiya alone in the livingroom.

"Bhiya Please don't..please.." I crawled back looking at Atul bhiya when he removed his belt from his jeans and round it around his palm.

"Slut like you deserves the punishment. When next time you spread your legs in front of others, you will remember this." Atul bhiya raised his hand in air and I know what was coming next.

"Aaahhhhhaaaa..."

******

Dhruv's point of view

"Aaaddddiiiiiittttiiiiii....."

I gasped for air and woke up from the horrible dream while screaming Aditi's name. My hand automatically went to my chest, when I again feel the same heaviness which I felt earlier. Again I started having problem in breath. My heart was beating so fast that once I thought I am going to have heart attack.

Take a deep Breath...

Take a deep Breath..

I take a deep breath but wasn't ni useful. She was calling me. I can hear her painful scream.

"Dhruv..."

She asked me not to leave her hand. She was asking help from me. She is in danger. Her family going to kill her. I looked at my surroundings. It was not my room. I am somewhere else. There is tube attached to my right hand. But where I am? Last I remember I was at my home.

Dhruv...

I heard her painfull voice again. She is calling me. She is crying. Her tears freely falling from her eyes. I have to save her before it gets to late. I already lost Yesh. I can't let anything happen to Aditi.

I immidately pulled out the needle grip from my hand. I winced in pain but I ignore it.

"Ddhhhrrruuuvvv..."

Someone screamed my name but I don't recognize the voice. I choose to ignore it because I have important work to do.

I have to save my beautiful neighbor before it gets to late. I got up from the bed and walked to the door.

"Dhruv..."

Someone called my name again but her pianfull voice have enough power to block everything. I opened the door and walked in hallway of unknown place.

"Nikhil stop him."

"Call the doctor.."

There voice...

There voice irritating me. It irks me that level that I can feel my blood is boiling inside my veins and my eyes were filled with rage.

Can't they fucking shut there mouths.

I have to be somewhere urgently. But their voice increasing the headach which was ready to blast my head.

Dhruv...

Again..

Again, I heard her voice. This it was more painfull. Her head was bleeding and her cheeks are printed with fingerprints. I can saw her. She is standing just infront of me. Her eyes were filled with pain and sorrow. Her soul was missing in her eyes. They are looking almost dead.

Dhruv, please save me.

Don't leave my hand.

She forward her hand towards me to hold her hand.

"I won't..." I forward my hand to hold her but before I could hold her hand someone caught me and pulled me away from her.

"Leave me..." I struggled in a strong grip and looked at my beautiful neighbor. She was looking at me with hope and asking me hold her hand.

"Dhruv, where are you going? Get back to the room." Someone shouted from behind. I know the person is also struggling to keep his grip on me. I can hear his harsh breath.

"She is calling me. Leave me. I have to go." I keep struggling into the strong grip while Aditi was keep looking at me with her teary eyes.

"Who is calling you? There is no fucking one. Get back your fucking scenes Dhruv and come to the room."
I wanted to blocked the voice but I can't. The person was shouting at me near my ears.

"Mummy-papa call the doctor." Again the person shout.

"You fucking leave me. She is in pain. I have to go." I greeted my teeth while trying hard to get out from the strong grip.

"Fuck Dhruv your strong."

I looked at my beautiful neighbor. She is still wearing that beautiful red anarkali suit and still looking the most beautiful girl in this world. Her eyes were filled with pain. She going away from me.

"No...no...don't go. I won't let anything happened to you." I forward my hand to her to hold my hand but she was keep looking at me, don't make any move to hold my hand.

"Nikhil don't let him go."

"I can't hold him more. Do something." I hear the person grunt but I ignored him and keep focousing on the girl who was standing in front of me with tears in her beautiful orbs.

"Hold my hand. I won't leave you." I again said her to hold my hand but she didn't.

Suddenly the grip of one person turns more strong. I can feel more than two person hold me and tried to cantrol me.

"Leave me...I said leave me." I struggled in the hold but they dragged backward in the hallway. I saw Aditi was going away from me. There is no hope in her eyes.

"No..no..don't go.." She didn't hear my plead and keep walking backward and finally vanished from my eye sight.

The group of people dragged me to the room and laid me oth bed. I was moving my hands and legs to free from their hold but they blocked my legs and hands. I grunt angrily and looked at the person in rage who was checking my veins.

They are talking to eachother but I can't hear anything. My mind blocked everything.

"I said let me go.." I screamed the loudest to the person who was wearing a white coat.

Why can't they fucking understand, I have to go. She is calling me. She is in pain. They will kill her if I won't go in time.

"Uuuggghh..." I grunt painful when I feel a sharper thing like a needle pierced into my neck. After that my eyes started feeling heavy and the last thing I remember, I saw her again. She was looking at me with teary eyes.

****

"Dhruv..."

..

..

"Dhruv..."

I frowned and open my eyes when morning rays fall on my face. Someone was tapping in cheeks continuously toasting wake me up. I slowly open my eyes and saw mummy in front of me with her worried face.

Why she looks worried?

What us she doing in my room early in morning?

"Dhruv" she called me again

I blinked many time, tried to adjust my eyes in bright light. I opened my eyes completely and found myself in different surroundings. White walls, white curtains, I can smell the medicines.

It is hospital.

I am in hospital.

But what am I doing here. I should be in my room right now.

I winced in pain when I felt the pain on my right hand. I looked at my right and saw the needle grip attached to my knuckle. I tried to get up and someone helped me to sit on the bed.

"Dhruv, are you okay?" Nikhil's concern voice reached me.

I nodded my head while putting my forefinger and thumb on my both eyes and squeezed them tight.

They feel dried like someone drained the water from my eyes. My throat was dried too like a Sahara desert.

"Water.." I asked.

"Here.." mummy gave me the water and helped me to drink it. Mummy put the glass back when I drank the whole glass. She asked me for more but I shake my head as no.

"Why am I here? What happened to me?" I asked looking at Papa and he was looking me worriedly but didn't utter a word. I turn my head and looked at Nikhil for answer.

"Last night you fell unconscious after Aditi's parents took her home. We got panicked and took you here but at the mid night you were.." He stopped in mid sentence like it was difficult for him say further.

"What I did last night?" I asked him while fisting my hands. I was hoping they would not witnessed my panic attacks. I don't want them to know about my mental health.

He took a deep breath and continue.

"At the mid of last night. You woke up and get hyper. You acted weirdly like a insane." As he finished, like tape recorder, everything flashed back in front of my eyes.

Aditi, her parents, they accused us, Atul slapped Aditi in front of everyone, they took her with them, she asked help from me, I got the panick attack and again the incident of mid night also come in front of me. I never hit such kind of panic attack. I hallucinate her last night. She was just in front of me and asked me to help her. I acted insanely last night.

"What doctor said?" I asked Nikhil while fisting my both hands and look at spot on the floor blankly.

"Doctor said you get your blood pressure high because of some stress that's why you got hyper." I sighed in relief to know that my family doesn't know anything about my panic attacks.

"He got stressed because os her. Because of all drama created by Tripathi's and that girl Aditi." I looked at mummy when she spoke in anger. Her eyes were fill with rage.

"How was it Aditi's fault? She is innocent." I aksed mummy.

"Dhruv is right. Aditi did nothing wrong. It was her family who created the drama." Nikhil said. He blinked his eyes and assured me that he is on my side no matter what.

"You both just shut up. Can't you see how was Dhruv last night. For a second I thought, I lost my son." Mummy said through her tears but her eyes still fill with anger.

"But mummy.."

"I told you to shut up." Mummy shut me up and then continue, "Because of that girl, you are in hospital right now. I don't want yo see that girl again in my house. I'll tell Divya to cut all the ties with that girl and Dhruv you focous in your studies. Don't meet her ever again and if you do, I don't know what will I do myself."

I tried to protest but Nikhil out his hand on mine and assure me he will handle mummy later. I also keep quiet because you can't fight against a mother. It was her motherly love which was trying to protect me from any harm.

She wiped her tears and looked at papa who still did not say a word, "Apply for the transfer Gautam ji. We will leave this city as soon as possible."

My head snapped to mummy and I looked at mummy in shock. I know she is serious and will not change her decision. Papa also nodded his head in approval.

Again I feel heaviness in my heart. The thought of leaving Aditi behind shake my soul.

I am not ready to leave her.

How will I live without seeing her at night.

But the main question was keep buzzing in my head was..

Why do I care for her so much?

Why is she so important to me?

......................................................................

I hope you like the chapter.

This chapter is depressing as hell. Firstly I don't know what should I write in this chapter but then I remind something which I witnessed very closely so I write this chapter.

I choose the book name the broken souls not just for name. I wanted to show my readers that the both the main characters of my book completely fucked up and broken. That's why I choosed the name.

I know past few chapters are depressing but I promise you guys you will enjoy this journey and read this book again and again after it's completion. Of course with lots of tears.

Many more chapters are yet to open in Dhruv and Aditi's life.

Please do votes and comments. Don't forget to share my books with your friends.

Thank you..
