Raj's pov

After I reached office today....I was introduced to my colleagues and my seniors.

The day seemed to be going fine until me and one of my colleague sneha went for tea in our office canteen.

After we took our orders and sat in a place near the big office window .....

"So how are you finding Australia till now?" Asked sneha

"Its nice till now.....except the place I live" I said truthfully

"Where do you stay?" She asked

"I stay in 4th main Baldwin street"

"Ohh....hardly people live there....its soo quite. ...sometimes I find it creepy. .... "

"Haha...yes me too..." I said

"I recently received a case yesterday evening in my NGO which works for women protection about a lady who lives in Baldwin street"

"Oh...really...who?" I asked

" we are still in search of that woman.... we heard that some peole hear her cry and sounds of beating and shouting "

"I have too heard that....do you know anything else?" I asked

"No nothing else....we are still thinking wether we should even take the case or not...." she said

" why are you thinking? You work for women protection its kinda your duty...." I stated

"I know..... but I don't know yaar....maybe its rumours ....it seems this case involves the rich and the powerful. ...."

"So what? We deal with them everyday sneha" I said kinda irritated how can she even think thus when that poor lady might be trouble

"Still...yaar....our NGO is still growing I don't want it to shut down before it even starts properly" she said

"Fine then....I'll fight this case..." I said

She smiled at me and we both got up to leave .....then I decided that I wanted to wash my hands....but I remembered

"By the way sneha....what is that poor lady's name?" I asked

She turned around and said

"Poonam...poonam singh"

Then she left

I stood there frozen. ....I didnt know how to react. .... poonam?...my best friend poonam?....oh my god!




Poonam' s pov

Since it was the first time sabir was taking me out I tried my best
To look good....I took out my mom's blue saree (also sabir's favorite colour) which she had gifted me but never had the chance.

Sabir came to pick me up at 7 as he told. He didnt say anything. ...no compliment. ..nothing....why did I even expect that?

When we seated in the car.... sabir was seated far away from me.....

The whole way I was thinking....what will raj do? What will happen if sabir gets to know?hooe everything is fine....I don't do anything stupid ..... hope no punishment after we are home.

Finally we reached the venue....
As soon as I got out of the car there were lightings and flowers every where.....

Sabir held my hand and whispered in my ear

"Behave poonam. ..they are very important clients. ...."

I looked at him and nodded my head.

Soon we entered the party hall...there were soo many people. ....ever since I have come to Australia I hardly interacted nor see soo many peole beacuse I am not allowed. .....as I am an embarrassment for sabir

"Hello mr and mrs singh" said an old yet dignified looking woman

"Hello ma'am " said sabir

" Namaste" I said

"Oh wow! Nama....ma...s...te" she said amazed

"Please come and join us...." she said and we did as told.

Everyone had a drink but I avoided as it was all cocktail

"Poonam why is your hand empty...please have a drink" said mr malhotra...I guess he is sabir's important client

"Umm...no thank you sir...I am fine" I said

"Take it poonam" said sabir in a deep and warning voice

I did as I was told

Everyone in the group was looking at me yo see if I take a sip.....with great difficulty I did.
Soo bitter

I wanted to puke so I excused my self I went to the ladies room.

As soon as I finished getting fresh the lights went of...then I came out of the room it was dark there too....i guess lights went of fir dance.....then someone pulled my hand and took me to a corner since it was dark i didnt know who it was I thought it was sabir then he said..."you look beautiful my dear...I didn't know sabir had such a beautiful wife....otherwise I might have given the deal long time ago" I knew it , it was Mr malhotra....he started touching my arm and later creased my bare back and stomach with his fingers. .... then he started pushing himself on me....I tried to push him away but couldn't .....I finally slapped that man and ran....as soon as I started running I kept hitting things on the way...due to that my saree tore ..... when the lights came back and music stopped....everyone in the room was looking at me....I was standing right in the middle of the dance floor with a torn saree and crying for help....

Soon sabir came looking worried. ...

"Poonam! What happened? " he asked first time he seemed to have cared....I guess he can protect me from that man.

"Sabir.....he....." I started crying and pointed at mr malhotra

He seemed to have understood everything. ....I thought he might go and beat him up....instead. ....

He slapped me!

In front of everyone. ....he believed and had more faith on that beast then his own wife.

He said nothing else and left me there in front of soo many strangers ....beaten

I was soo shocked to comprehend what just happened. ..... everyone was staring at me....some with pitty others hatefully and Mr malhotra had a smirk on his face.

I got out of the party hall....and looked for our car..... sabir had left me here. ....I didnt even know where I was....no phone....no way out......

What am I going to do????!!!!
