The beginning
Today there was only darkness in the sky, neither the stars were seen nor the moon, like her heart which was drowned in the darkness of utter despair.
She was looking at the sky with a cup of tea in her hands, and a drop fell on her face, she thought it was going to rain, but she did not want to go in. Shortly there was a drizzle from the sky, and she kept getting wet like there was no fear of getting wet in that night of cold. She did not know that the unknown city she had gone to make her own would engulf her.
She had all in her family, but there was no one to share her sorrow, the glare of this world had pulled her to the direction from where there was no way forward for life's kayak.
She kept getting wet not knowing how long, her thoughts broken down due to the knock of the door, and she ran towards the door.
Ramesh's voice rang in his ears, shouting, and she ran and opened the door. Like every time, this time too, he was completely intoxicated. As soon as he entered, he pounced on her , beat her up and hurled drunken abuses, until he did not fall unconscious himself. This was the story of everyday in Rajni's life.
Leaving her parents, she came to Mumbai with countless dreams.
She remembered the faces of everyone whom she had left and went on to create her world.
Then she got in touch with Ramesh, who showed her golden dreams and imprisoned her.
Her dreams remained dreams only but Ramesh's dreams were fulfilled. He got a free maid in the house, which he also used in his nefarious intentions to extinguish his quench of stomach and intoxication. Somehow she picked him up and took him to the bed and laid him down or else the next morning would have been disastrous.
The next morning Ramesh got up and took bath and had breakfast. Then as soon as he was about to leave, she said, "Please give some money,I have to get some clothes. "On hearing Ramesh got furious and jumped to hit her, she fell at his feet and apologized. He pushed her with his feet and said," Be happy in that, got it, some guests will come today, be ready ."
She cried frantically, "Yes, okay."
All day she worked, prepared food, for the wolves who were going to tear her to pieces.
Finally there was a knock on the door and she ran to open the door in fear. On opening, she saw human wolves who seemed eager to drink blood.
Ramesh ordered, "Aye, what are you seeing with wide eyes,just go and bring us snacks and serve wine." She went in and brought the wine in beautiful glasses like every time.
They kept drinking through the night and eventually Ramesh tripped and fell,other man who tried lifting him fell down as well.
Rajni also tried her best to lift them,sprinkled water on their faces, but today she had luck, they did not wake up. She heaved a sigh of relief and went to sleep.The next morning, she saw that their breath had stopped.
She immediately called the police and said, "Sir, my man and his friends are not getting up, come and see. Just fell unconscious after they arrived home drunk."
She cleaned the glasses and went to throw out empty bottles of sanitizer.
