"You are a curse in our destiny. Why don't you kill yourself? It would have been better if we had died before seeing this day." Her mom yelling on her and cried.
" We are Brahmin, and you are a huge stigma on us. Kill yourself or kill us. How will show our face to our relatives, this society? What was left of our honour in this society?" Her father cursed her and slapped hard on her face.
The girl is crying badly in the corner of the small house. Her lips are swollen. The whole body is stamped with bites given by her rapist. Yes, she was raped.
Her father again raised her hand to slap her again but her brother holds his father's hand.
"Papa, it was not her fault, if she is raped by someone, what is her fault? We should file the complaint at the police station." Her brother said.
"Ohhh, great idea, but my honour on the fire, what will we get back? Only blames and cursed from the people. Her beauty is her crime. She is cursed. And the most amazing thing about your sister, she didn't see the face of the rapist."
Her father is continuously cursing her and clapping hands for not seen the face of the rapist. Nobody ate that black night.
She didn't sleep the whole night, the early morning she wakes up and runs to the river, The Godavari.
She is standing near the river, the sun is rising, she looks herself in the river, the beauty of her face vanished, more than half of her dress was stored, lips are swollen and blood is dried on her face, Neck was completely bitten by the devil. No place remains without a mark.
She knows swimming very well. She tears her dupatta and tied her legs, and tied her hand with the dupatta, with help of her mouth.
She jumped into the Godavari river, with cursing her fate and God. She was sinking in water and a pair of huge arm saved her. He carries her in her arms and puts her in his car. He reached the hospital in a few minutes with the unconscious body of that girl.
She became conscious after treatment given by doctors.
She asked, "Who saved me?"
A sound like a roar is colliding in her ears
" I, The Samarth Goenka.
"You...... What the hell ?" She yelled.
"Don't shout Ms Aradhya Kashyap. Now I gave you a new life so you have to pay for this." Samarth said conditionally.
"What should I pay?" She asked back.
"You have to marry me." He smirked at her.
"Marry you, my foot. I will choose to die... Go to hell, Mr Goenka." She replied.
"Really"
He saw her photos when he saved her, she was in stored clothes and it was visible that she was raped.
"If you will not marry me, I will publish it in the newspaper. The choice is yours." He smirked again.
A tear spilt over her cheeks, she replied, "Yes, I will marry you. But...."
"What but..??"
"I'm only 17. How can you marry a minor girl?"
"Let me remind you, Ms Aradhya Kashyap, you turned 18. Today is your birthday, 21st February."
