Meetha sa Ruhani ISHQ (Sequel)

209. Traumatic incident part 9

Mini moved near him and sat closer to him. She wrapped her hands around his neck and kept her head on his shoulder.

He shifted closer to her embracing her to provide her the warmth she needed. He felt his shoulders getting wet and knew that she was crying. He cross folded his legs and made her sit on his lap, draping his arms around her protectively. Her knees folded close to her chest and her toes curling on Neil's thigh.

She finally spoke without panting and panicking.

Mini: Uss din.... Hum... hum tumhara wait kar rahe the jab vo R... Ritwick aaya (in sobs).... Veer bhi uske saath hi tha.... Usne mujhe dhamki di.... Maine socha me sambhal lungi.... 2 hi to log hai.... aur vaise bhi tum to aa hi rahe ho na....

Neil noticing the confidence in her voice felt the extent of trust she would have had, on him, back then.

FLASHBACK

Mini and Vaishnavi was walking across the basement. They heard two voices saying the same thing.

Voice: Ruk jao Madam.... Itni jaldi jaane ki kya zarurat hai?

Both turned back to see Veer and Ritwick together. They stepped back a little while saw them smirking.

Ritwick : (to Vaishnavi) Tumhe to tumhara aashiq Veer dekh lega but kya hai na (looking at Mini) Mini ke saath zara personal panga hai mera..... Haa to Mini... tum sochogi ki problem kya hai mujhe tum dono se to suno... I have no specific problem.... bas yeh sab pasand hai mujhe.... I enjoy using girls... Ab tumhare aashiq Neil se ek raat hi maangi thi na... Tab to tumhe gusse me lekar chala gaya... 

Mini: (confused) Ek raat mangi thi?..... Neil se......

Ritwick: Tumhe jis din pehli baar dekha tha apne ghar ke bahar....

Mini now understood why Neil was so angry at him that day and why he didn't even stop for a sec after punching him once. She knew he didn't wanted her to hear something like this for herself ever. That's why he was angry at him in the cafe the other day too.

Ritwick: (continuously walking around her with his lustful gaze moving on her) Huh... Possessive bahot hai tumhare liye.... Ho bhi kyu na... Tum cheez hi aisi ho.... Socho jab pata chalega tumhare Neil ko ki tumhare saath kuch galat hua hai to kaisa lagega usko..... Bardaasht kaise karega ki kisi ne uski Mini ke saath kuch kiya... Trust... emotions... feelings... relations... love... sab kuch khatam...

Mini: (snapping her fingers at him) You can not even touch me..... Don't you even dare....... Tumhe bola tha na meine.... I am a Karate black belt.... So If you want to save yourself.... Get lost you two.

Ritwick: (evilly) Haaye tumhari yahi masoom adaa to jaanleva hai yaar.... Tumhe kya lagta hai?... Hum akele aaye hai? Karate black belt beauty?

8 more man came and they were surrounded from all sides. The men started coming closer. 

Mini thought to call the police and as the police station was just behind the building, it won't take even 2 mins for Police to reach here and she didn't wanted to take risk with Vaishnavi. So she opened the zip of her purse but Ritwick snatched the purse from her hand. 

Ritwick: Itn.... 

Mini enragedly kicked him hard and he fell a little distance away from her. 

She got surrounded by the men.

Mini knew that all she needs to do is continue to fight till Neil comes and she was confident that she can handle at least till then. 

Ritwick: Jo karna hai karo.... Bas zinda chorr dena iss Mini ko mere liye.

Mini was held by 2 men but she kicked them and freed herself.

She turned and saw Veer dragging Vaishnavi behind the front wall.

One man grabbed her coming from behind from her neck and two other came from side and grabbed her hands...Ritwick came to Mini....She kicked him with a lot of force. He fell on the ground.

Mini punched, kicked, slapped and tried all the ways to defend herself..... She was alone infront of the men.... Still she fought fearlessly..... They were bruised and beaten but feeling their ego getting hurt by getting beaten by a girl they attacked her together.

Then a man came from behind pulled her hair.. slided his hands disgustingly on her back from top to bottom..... At the same time two men came from either side and held her hands before she could defend.... and two men came and kept the one feet on her either of the feet.... Ritwick came from the front and held her by her neck and slowly tightened his grip suffocating her. Now she was stuck. They moved their hands on her body lustfully. She was feeling miserable but still had strength left.... and hearing the screams of her friend... She in rage.... kicked and punched them again.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Mini was wholly in tears, speaking while recalling the painful incident.

Mini: (helplessly crying and snuggling more onto his neck) Me kuch nahi kar pa rahi thi.... I was stuck.... Stuck unable to do anything.... (crying badly)

Neil was gently stroking her hair, still wrapping her in his arms with tears flowing from his eyes listening to her pain. He wasn't able to listen further but he knew there's a lot more she has to speak and he has to listen for her, for her to feel liberated for this pain, from the pain she is suffering for the past week. So he remained still and listened to her, controlling his breaths from getting uneven.

Neil caressed her arms to console her. She while snuggling didn't realise that she was sitting shrinkingly.

Mini: but Vaishnavi chilla rahi thi.... Meine bahot koshish ki..... meine bahot koshish ki khud ko chudane ki..... Bohot maara unko..... (blankly) par phir.......
