Flashback

Mukta opened her eyes, her head was hammering due to pain and stress. She looked around herself in fear. Where was she? again in devil dain? No her attempts couldn't go futile.....

"You awake dear....."

She turned her head to sweet voice of lady. A graceful lady in her mid 30s was standing at the door. Mukta came out from her shock and realized that she was not at Arjun's place.

"Who are you mam?" She asked in weak tone.

"My name is Sneha.... this my home.... and don't worry.... you are safe but Please tell me why you are wearing hospital clothes.... and what about your family? They may be searching for you dear?"
Sneha the lady bombarded the pile of questions. Mukta looked her with scared eyes when a man in his late 30s came inside,
"Oh cool down my teacher madam... looked at her pale face... you are scaring her....."

He smiled and turned to Mukta,
"Hello young lady.... myself Parkash.... she is my wife Sneha.... you are in our home.... do you remember anything that Sneha found you on the road last night unconscious?..."

Mukta looked them and nodded, Sneha smiled,
" sorry i couldn't take you hospital because i had to come Pune immediately and you should thanks to dear god.... Parkash is a doctor..... he treated you here..... now tell us where is your home? I will call to your home."

Mukta looked them with teary eyes on Sneha words...
"I am or..... orphan.... " she felt too much difficulty to accept the thing that now she was all alone....

Parkash patted her head in affection and asked in concerned tone,
"If you can trust us... will you tell us what happened with you? Why you were on the road in middle of the night all abandoned?"

She looked to them,
" my name is Mukta Singh.... that was my 16 birthday when he killed my father Raghubeer Singh.... he said that my father killed his family...... and he kidnapped me and..... and...." she hiccuped by remembering the torture while Sneha and Parkash was looking her with widened eyes....

"And?" Parkash asked in disbelief....

"He forcefully got married to me and tried to molest me.... so i ran from there.... Please don't send me there.... instead of that Please kill me...."

Sneha hugged her tightly on her emotional outburst.
"Shush..... we will not send you anywhere... now don't worry.... you are safe with us..... "

Parkash looked both of them,
"May i ask you who is he?"

Mukta replied meekly,
"Arjun Verma...... "

Parkash and Sneha gasped on her revelation,
"Son of mafia leader Yaswant Verma?"

Mukta nodded in yes but got scared by their tone,
"Please don't call him and don't tell him?"

Parkash composed himself in next moment,
"Don't worry child.... you are safe here... and by the way we are relocating to Bangalore already so you don't have to take tension.... from now on we have two daughters.... Mukta and Nooria.... am i right Sneha?"

Sneha smiled and replied,
"Yes why not.... even Noor will be happy to get elder sister... so this is done.... we all going to Bangalore.... far from this city..."

Mukta was surprised on destiny kind way. She got another family.... a far away from the black shadow of Arjun Verma..

Time was flaying happily. They were loving and caring people. She completed her 12th and after that she got admission in bachelor degree in Bangalore college. She always studied in women college because she grew up with a fear and discomfort from men.... Parkash was the only person whom she could trust..... Parkash and Sneha tried to treat her fear but at last they left her in her own comfort zone because they didn't want her broken personality harmed her career.

She was happy and content in her life. Sometimes she thought about Arjun and used to be scared but in that moment Sneha motherly love made her strong.

She passed with flying colors in her graduation. She got admission in bachelor of education program because she wanted to teacher like Sneha. Nooria was now 7 years old and Mukta was 24 They were happy like a family when one day life hit her hard again. Parkash and Sneha lost their life in accident and both the girls left alone. This time Mukta faced everything maturely, she became Nooria guardian. She started to do part time jobs for their survival. She didn't want to use Sneha and Parkash savings and property. She thought it righrfully belonged to Nooria. Nooria was child so she couldn't understand that things but for her Mukta was everything after her parents demise.

Mukta completed her education and was living a blissful life with Nooria when on her convocation day function, she met again to the devil.....Arjun Verma....

She was running late for the event because she had to drop Nooria at her school and after that she had to come back to home because Nooria school and her college situated in opposite directions in the city. Noor school was in south direction. Her college was in north side.. She was already feeling low that day. She couldn't understand why she was feeling that scared feeling again in her heart. She started to chanting Sneha's advice....
"Oh dear god.....Please help me.... Shiva... Shiva........ Why her college announced the event early morning.... how students like her can reach at sharp 7:00 am? Which guest of owner come early at 7:00 am? Idiot guest...."

She muttered under her breath...... she looked for time and she felt relieved.... it was 11:00 am already and only 30 minutes left in closing ceremony..... 12:00 pm was scheduled for lunch. So Mukta decided not to go to college. She thought to collect her degree from the administration department another time.

She was thinking to relax at home when her phone started to ring. She sighed to see the caller....
"Yes Siya... "

Her friend Siya was on the line,
"Hey Mukta.... why didn't you come for the function... after all you are topper of the class girl .... every teacher was asking about you...."

Mukta replied,
"I was late... and after dropping Noor to her school... it was already 11:00 am. I thought it will be stupid to come there now.... don't worry... i will collect degree tomorrow..."

Siya replied in urgent tone,
"You have to come here.... i don't know how much our principal praised you infront of trustee so he asked to meet you... principal asked me to call you...."

Mukta flinched instantly on her words, why was trustee taking the interest in her. who was he? Her suspicious sense awoke instantly so she tried to shrugged off Siya.
"Oh no.... Please Siya say them that my phone is unreachable right now.... i don't want to come... i am feeling low today...."
She abruptly dropped the call and switched off her cellphone so that they couldn't reach her again.

In the afternoon, she picked Nooria from the school and left for her part time job. She was busy in her work when suddenly her phone ping.

She checked her phone and found Facebook notifications, Siya and her other Bach mates shared there pics. She smiled and opened the pics and in next moment, she was feeling if entire world was spinning.

The guest of owner was fucking

Arjun Verma

She hurriedly collected her things and took a leave on the basis of sudden health emergency. She wanted to reach home as soon as. What if he reached there before her, Nooria was all alone.

She felt relieved when found her home like before. She hugged Nooria tightly. That whole night she couldn't sleep. She called Siya and asked her the favor.
"Siya Please bring my degree for me from the college.... i will call mam..."

Siya was confused,
"What happened Mukta? You are behaving strange since yesterday... Please tell me clearly...."

Mukta sighed,
"I can't tell you anything right now but Please can you help me.... i am in crisis..."

Siya was still unconvinced but agreed to help her.

"Thanks dear and Please bring that as soon as possible.... i will take it from you at railway station...."

Siya was skeptical,
" why railway station? Are you going somewhere......"

Mukta was speechless for some moments and replied,
"Yes we are going to Pune.... at Nooria grandparents home...."

She didn't want to tell anybody about her whereabouts because she feared if Arjun reached to them....

Next morning, she left Bangalore with Nooria. Siya gave her degree and she bid good bye to her for good.

She came to Delhi and started a private job at a convent school. After one year she applied in government school and after tests and interviews she got selected. Her new job location was muradnagar. Nooria was disappointed due to the small town. She always used to live in metro city and now they had to adjust in town but Mukta was somewhere happy. Arjun Verma couldn't think that she was living in north India's small town.

She started to do lots of social work because now money was not problem and having free time after school, she could do that easily. Soon Nooria also became habitual to their new life style. Mukta earned a good samaritan reputation in the town. Town people started to adore their teacher madam. Mukta was happy and content once again.

Her life was giving her experiences. She fell down so many times badly but risen up courageously. She had broken but learned to fix the pieces of her life each and every time. If one wrong person was creating havoc in her life, some good person always turned her savior. Humanity was not losing from the earth completely....
