Dhruv's point of view

People says light comes after the darkness but why this darkness is kept on in my and Aditi's life. Why it has to be more difficult for us? Difficult times have helped me understand things better or I must say, I can read people more easily now. Life teaches you lesson in every way but fir us it's getting difficult for both of us. Aditi was the one who suffered a lot.

I would not be surprised when she give up one day and handed herself to those whom wants her to suffer but I would not let her give up. I want her to fight against those people who make her life miserable and I would be the one who will not just hold her hand but I would fight for her.

I checked the time again in my car it's already 8:16 p.m and I was mking my way towards the address Raghav has sent me half an hour go. He asked me to reach this address urgently as he said it was important and related to Aditi. He asked me to come alone so I did not bring my convey with me and came here in one of the car of my convoy. The address he has sent mw is almost the one hour drive away from thw main city also located in a very isolated place. I have already texted Aditi that I am gonna be late for home but she did not reply me. She must be busy in her studies. She will text me later.

After half ad hour I reached on the place, Raghav has sent me. It was old house, surrounded by trees and bushes. I saw Raghav's car parked on the distance. I also parked my car near his car. I saw Raghav was standing at the porch, under the dim yellow bulb light and directly looking at me. I stepped down from the car and after locking it, I made my way towards him.

"I was waiting for you." He said when I approached him.

"Why did you call me here in this old house?" I asked while we both made our way inside the house.

"We used it as a Wearhouse sometimes as only few people knows about it." He said, I could hear someone's screams of pain from here.

We both reached inside the room where chaudhary and Shukla, the same constables who have arrested me when I transferred to the Lacknow, were beating a man who was already covered with blood and screaming in pain.

"Who is he?" I asked to Raghav looking at the man.

"The same person who was sending you Aditi's pictures with many men and blackmailing you to leave her.", Raghav said while greeting his teeth.

My bloold boils in anger when I saw that bloody man. I took a large strides, snatched the thick stick from chaudhary and started beating him with my all power while he keep screaming and crying and begging me to show some mercy but I did not stop I keep beating him, pouring all my anger on him. He was joining his both hands asking me for mercy but how could I stop when Aditi was in this condition because of these parasites. I threw the stick away and hold him by his collar.

"Why did you do this to her? Tell me or I'll kill you." I shouted on his face and I mean every word if he dares to lie to me I will kill him right now.

"Si....Sir...Sir ji.....I did not do anything to that girl. I don't even know who was that girl. I was only asked to sent you those pictures in exchange of some money. I only did what I said.", He joint his both hands in-front of me.

I fisted his neck in my right hand and slammed him to the wall.

"Who give you the money and if you lie, you'll die right now.", I said through my greeyed teeth.

"I worked for Rahul Sharma, the MLA. One day he called me and asked me to do a work for him. In exchange he assured me to give some money.", He chocked when I tighten my fist on his neck when he was confessing. He confessed that he was the one who put the pendrive in the L.E.D. screen on C.M's party by Rahul's order for that I have punched him again. When he was done I left his neck and he slammed to the ground, coughing roughly.

I came out from the room and Raghav followed me behind. I took a long deep breath, tried to calm myself. I have asked Raghav to find that person who was sending me these pictures as I know he was the beast of any private detective.

"How did you find him?", I asked him while lighting up my cigrette.

"Traced the IMEI number, used some cyber techniques and he is here. But I am wondering one thing, Rahul is aware now that we are planning something against him, what if he tried to harm you or try to sabotage proofs?" He asked while puffing out the smoke from his mouth.

"Don't worry about it. I have a friend of CBI inspector and he has someone who is undercover in Rahul's gang from last two years. He will inform us if Rahul plan something. You should also send a informer in Rahul's gang and asked him to dig deeper so we could have any solid proof of what he did to Aditi.", I asked to Raghav while puffing a drag from my cigrette.

"Hmm...good idea. I'll send a lady constable in Rahul's residence. I have heard Rahul needs a made in his residence where he done all his illigal work.", I puff out a smoke and nodded my head when Raghav suggested the idea.

"Keep all this unofficial until we have solid proofs and things get official. Do you trust Chaudhary and Shukla? Are you sure they are not gonna double cross us?" I asked him.

"Don't worry about them. They are the most trusted people, I have in my team." He said.

I checked the time in my wrist watch and it's already 10:30 p.m. I checked my phone, hoping a call from Aditi but there was none. It was never happened before. No matter how much Aditi was upset, she always texted me back or call me if I am gonna late for home. Ignoring other things I dialled her number but to my disappointment she did not pick my calls.

"What happened?" Raghav asked looking at my worry face.

"Nothing, Aditi is not picking up my calls or replying my texts.", I said still looking at my phone.

"Call, Divya or anyone from home? They must know about her." He suggested me.

"Don't worry. I am going home now. I will check myself.", I said while putting my phone inside my pocket.

"Are you coming?", I asked him

"No, I am going to stay here for sometime. Look if he have some other important information for us.", He said and I nodded my head. After saying our good bye I get inside my car and drive towards home.

*******

It was already 11:45 P.M of night when I reached the home. I found no one on the living room, not even her waiting for me and to see this I felt disappointed. At some point I wanted to see her in the livingroom waiting for me but I know what phase she was going through, it was almost difficult for her to thinking about anyone else. With a heavy heart, I made my way towards my room but I don't know why my heart was beating faster as I was approaching my room. Maybe to see Aditi after a long and tired day, it can't wait.

I hold the handle of the door and opened it slowly, not to disturb Aditi if she was sleeping but to my dismay she wasn't there when my eyes fell onto the bed as soon as I entered inside the room.

"Aditi....", I called her name but there were no reply from her side.

"Aditi.....", I check in the washroom but she was not there also and my heart started beating faster. I don't know but a fear crawled inside my chest and I feel heavyness on there.

"Aditi.....", I shouted her name and climb down from the stares in a high pace. Hearing my voice, Nikhil, Nikita bhabhi, mummy-papa, and Divya came out from their rooms. Even our maid Meera was present there.

"Dhruv, what happened?", Nikhil asked me.

"I could not find Aditi." I said while passing through him in the hall.

"She must be in her room." Papa said to me.

"She was not.", I replied whole wiping the sweat from my forehead. I was worried, what if Rahul kidnapped her behind my back? What if he done something wrong to her? These thoughts are killing me. I just wanted to see her in-front of me right now.

"Aditi.....", I ran towards the kitchen while calling her name but she was not there also.

Suddenly I remember that I did not check into our room's balcony. With this thought I again ran towards our while calling her name while Nikhil, Divya and Nikita bhabhi were looking for her in the other section of the house.

"Aditi.....", I entered inside our room while calling her name but suddenly I stopped when I noticed something on the bed.

I did not notice it before when I entered the room earlier as I was engrossed with many thoughts but now I can see it clearly. There were a paper putting under the same teddy bear which Aditi and I won in the carnival fest against that couple. I don't know why but this Letter was giving me a worst feeling and my heart was fealing very heavy that I can heard its heart beats clearly. With my shaky hands I picked up the letter and a lone tear drop from my eyes when I started reading it.

Dear Dhruv,

By the time you will get this letter, I would go from your house or maybe from your life also. It is not like I wanted to leave you or I don't love you anymor,  it is just that people around us don't understand our love. They don't want to see us together and how true it is, since I came into your life, I only gave you agony, sorrow amd distress.

I am not your that beautiful neighbour you have known eight years ago. I am tainted and does not deserve you. What happened in that night was my dark past which I wanted to forget but that night someone reminds me that I can not leave it behind as it's the part of my life. I don't want you to get into my messy life. You don't deserve this.

Dhruv, my love maybe I do not deserve you in this life but I would pray that in next life we would both meet again, we both fell in love again, you would be my husband again and that time no one can separate us. I wish I would be pure in my next life like you deserve my handsome neighbour.

Please take care of yourself.

I love you...

                                                        Aditi....

She leave me...

She leave me to die for her. The letter was wet with her tears and so my eyes. I could not control them. My eyes were red in anger and with tears. I wanted to shouted on her but at the same time I wanted to chain in this room close to me so she could not leave me again. I took my phone and dialled her number but her phone rang on my room and my eyes fell on her phone which was on her study table.

No matter what, I would not allow to leave me. I am going to find her and kidnapped her until she get ready to live with me. I threw the letter on the floor, wiped my tears with my forearm and made my way to the downstairs. I climbed down the stairs in anger while looking at my family in rage. They were all in the house then how could they allow Aditi to leave the house.

"Dhruv, where is Aditi...?", I was about  to made my way to the outside when Papa stopped me.

"You are asking me papa? Ask yourself... Aditi leave this house and no one care about her when she was leaving.", I said while glaring art everyone, fisting my palm, trying to control my anger.

"What...?", Papa gasped and looked at me shock while mummy was stood ineffectively.

"Bhiya, Papa came home late. I was also came home at 10:00 p.m attending after my friend's birthday party. I have asked Aditi to come with me but she denied. I thought she needs some time alone but We don't know that Aditi will leave this house.", Divya come forward and said. Shock was clearly written on her face.

"Yes, Dhruv Nikita and I also came home like half an hour ago. We also don't know when Aditi leave.", Nikhil said.

Papa turns to mummy and asked her, "Anuradha, you were home all day. Do you know when Aditi leave?"

I turn to mummy, pinning her with my ragefull eyes. I took a step towards her and stopped two feets away from her.

"Mummy, Do you know about Aditi?", I asked her through my greeted teeth. I know she was hiding something. In whole time she was ineffective with Aditi's absence, like she was the one who forced her to leave the house.

"I don't know when she leave. I was in my room whole time.", She said while turning her face to the other side and folded her both arms on her chest.

"Mummy please, do....not...check....my patience...", I closed my eyes and said with my greeted teeth.

"Look what that girl did to you? Now you are blaming your own mother.", Mummy also gkared at me. I know mummy not gonna accept anything and she will start her melodrama anytime. I don't have any time of this shit. I just wanted to know the truth.

I looked at our maid Meera and called her to come forward through my forefinger. She walked to me timidly and stood bending her head down.

"Do you know when Aditi leave the house?", I asked her daring her to only speek truth.

She nodded her head as yes and said, "Aditi madam did not leave the house of her own. Anuradha ma'am throw her out from the house."

"Aaaaaaa......", I picked up the flower vase and slammed it to the floor. It shattered on the floor and clattered. Everyone flinched on thier place when I screamed.

"Meera tell us what happened? You don't have to scre from anyone.", Papa came forward and asked Meera while glaring at my mother who was glaring at meera.

"Anuradha ma'am already packed her bags when she returned home after a walk. She asked her to leave but when Aditi ma'am denied, Anuradha ma'am insulted her. She called her slut and whore in-front of all servants. Aditi ma'am begged in-front of her, she hold Anuradha ma'am's feet not to throw her out. She was begging that Dhruv sir couldn't live without her but Anuradha ma'am keep blaming her for sleeping with many men. We were all present there when Anuradha ma'am literally dragged her out from her elbow and throw her out in the rain. She did not even let watchman to help her. She threatened Aditi ma'am if she ever try to come back to Dhruv sir's life she will disown him. Aditi ma'am begged to her not to disown you and promised her she will never come back into Dhruv's sir life.", As soon as Meera finished I took a ragefull step towards my mother and stopped in-front of her.

"Wwwwhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyy........?", I shouted on her face which made her flinch on her place while fat years streams down from my both eyes.

"I did not expect this from you Anuradha. Aditi is our daughter-in-law. How dare you to insult her and throw her out. ", Papa shouted on my mother.

"Mummy, even I accept Aditi as my Bhabhi. Then what is your problem to accept her?", Divya also showed her anger to my mother.

"Mummy I never feel that you are my mother-in-law then how could you do the partiality?", Nikita bhabhi said.

"Mummy toady you have lost a respect in my eyes. How could you say such words to Aditi. She is the part of this family and you insulted her in-front of servants also you have thrown her out. Can't you see that she was not mentally stable a week ago and she has a mentally breakdown. Then how could you do this to her? ", Nikhil also show his anger on my mother.

"That girl don't deserve you and we all have seen the proof in C.M. party.", My mother speak with rage while glaring at me.

"You have seen her with many man doesn't make her slut and whore. Divya have many make friends, does it make her whore also?" I shouted on her face.

"Dhuvvvv....", She dared me not to say anything further about Divya.

"Shut up......", I glared at her. Today she has crossed all the limits so I will also forget that she is my mother.

"If you don't know the full story you batter keep your mouth shut. ", I glared at her and shouted. Today I am not gonna control my anger in-front of her.

"That girl have relations with many men. Even her family blamed her for having many affairs. They even abandoned her years ago then I don't understand why are you keeping that girl in our house.", My mother said.

"First of all that girl is my wife and her name is Aditi Dhruv Malhotra so take her name with respect and second her family was a garbage. They never valued her. You don't have any idea what she has gone through. If any other girl would be on her place she would take her life by now.", I said through my greeted teeth. Today I was just not saying, I was literally screaming on my mother.

"Whatever she is, you can't change the fact that she has slept all those men you have seen in the picture.", My mother said with same rage.

"She did not slept with them. They raped her, not even once but for whole month. Her family throw her out even after knowing that she has gone through the worst. Her bua ji tortured her for five long years. They beat her until her skin rip out from her body, they starved her for days and made her work in other house for money and that day when I married her, they already sell her to some old man for some money. She was chained for whole week when I found her.", Everyone gasped in shock. No one dare to say anything they still not recover when I confessed about Aditi, even my mother was shocked and she has tears in her eyes.

"Do you want to know more about her huh!!!!! Then listen, One day I cought her having a mud sandwich because she did not have anything for a week. They gave her only two chupati with salt and chupati and made her beg for that two chupati like a dog. Thay even forced her to lick their spit and suck their toes to give her those two chupati if they were happy for her. Somethimes she did not even lucky to have them. She did not taste curry for whole five years and when I offered her she denies because she did not want to used of good food and when I finally forced her to her some proper food she vomited because for whole fove years she only have two chupati with salt and chutney. They don't give her basic things. When she got the period infection it was because her bua ji did not let her use senitary pads so she has to use all dirty clothes in her periods. Because of all of these she is suffering from Anemia and she didn't even know about that until I took her to doctor when she fainted after having a proper food after five years.", I confessed all the truth about Aditi and made my mother to listen my each and every word so she could know what sin she has committed.

"Dhuv... please stop it. I didn't know that she has gone through the hell.", My mother cried in-front of me but today her tears were ineffective in-front of me.

"Now tell me...will you throw out Divya from the house if all of this happened to her?", I asked my mother through my greeted teeth but she only shake her head and cried.

"Even after going through the hell she stood stong and fight to the world with a smile on her face. Aditi never get the love from her parents in her life. I bring her here after marriage because I thought my family would give her the live she deserves. She would know how mother's love feels like but you never accept her and today you thown her out. ", Tears left from my eyes when I glared at my mother. I took a little pause and then continue, "If Aditi disgust you then you should be disgust me too because I was raped too in my bording school."

My mother get shocked. She came forward and cupped my both cheeks, "What are you saying Dhruv..? Who did this to you?"

I jerked her hand away and said, "You don't deserve to know. You just thank Aditi because if I am standing in-front of you, is only because of Aditi. Otherwise I would die long ago."

"No..No...beta please don't say this. I am your mother.", She hold my hand but I jerked it away.

"Hum kaise aapko apni maa manle. Aapne to humse humari mohabbat ko hi cheen liya. Ab to hume humara jeena bhi bekaar lagta hai.", I cried like a baby whule bending my head down. My mother vome forward and she my head on her chest. Making me calmdown while rubbing my back.

(How did I consider you my mother when you had snatched my love from me. Now I feel I would be worthless if I would live. )

"Please don't cry beta. I will find her and apologize to her.", she said but I pushed her away from me nd gkared at her. I wiped my tears with anger and said, "What did you say to her that you will disown me if she will come back to my life? Then listen to me very carefully. I am going to find my Aditi any how and take her to my own house and from this moment I disown you. Your middle child is dead and I don't have a mother. ", After saying this, I wipped my tears angrily and I walked out from there.

"Dhruv, where are you going. Please stop beta... please stop for your mother.", My mother keep begging her but I also ignore her begs like she ignored my Aditi.

"Dhurv...we will find Aditi. Don't leave the house.", Papa also tried to stop me.

"Bhiya please don't leave the house."

"Dhruv what are you doing stop...",Both Nikhil and Divya tried to stop me by holding my hand but I jerked them away.

Nikhil, Papa, my mother, Divya everyone tried to stop me but I couldn't stop. I took my car keys and drove off from there to find my Aditi in this middle night.

Author's point of view

The rain has already stopped but the girl who sitting in the temple facing the godess, her eyes are still wet with her tears. She does not know how long she was crying because She could only see her husband's face in-front of her again and again. She traced her fingers again on her husband's picture and again broke into the tears. She kissed on his picture and said that how much she loved him. She was apologizing to him again and again for leaving him but she doesn't want that her mother also disown him like her family did.

Aditi sit there like a life less body and keep looking at the goddess in the temple. She does not know where to go. She could not go to her bua ji house because she doesn't want to go back to that hell again. She doesn't know what she gonna do but one thing she know she dies toady because living without Dhruv is impossible for her.

All her life she was abandoned by people, ignored by her family, today Dhruv's mother did not do something new. She wasn't hurt by throwing out from house by Dhruv's mother, the thing was killing her that now she has to live without Dhruv. She get used of him. She likes when he take care of her small things and in every moment he made her feel special. She doesn't understand why fate let her feel those beautiful things when it has to snatched from her. She saw hope in her life when Dhruv come but now that only hope also gone now she doesn't have any motive to live. The temple priest doesn't ask Aditi to live. He step back when he saw tears Aditi's eyes. He walked out from there without saying anything but he was there if she needs anything.

On the other side Dhruv was looking for Aditi on the road. He already inform Raghav and asked him to look for her without explaining anything. He just said that his mother forced Aditi to leave the house. Dhruv did not leave and bus stop and railway station where he did not check for Aditi. He even checked every hospital of the city with hope that he could find her but to his dismay Aditi was not any of the places. On the other side Raghav was being impatient amd he put all his team in the search of Aditi but they could not traced her. Dhruv and Raghav both are being impatient as they both know Aditi's life is in danger and they both don't want that Rahul would know about this. Before Rahul could find Aditi Dhruv has to find her. But there is saying that you can not find the person who doesn't want to be search.
