Little by little
Day by day,
What is meant for me
Will find its way...
It's a connection I can't explain
~ Shanvi
Shanvi POV.
It's been three days since I went out. After that incident everyone around me is supportive. Some show fakeness. But some seriously cares for me.
Now everything has been normal. Even Ammama came on that day itself. She gave her statement and was dropped at the house by the constable. And more shocking news is that she is been silent from that time. She doesn't control me not even orders me. I think she must be in shock. She never went to the police station maybe this is her first time.
She has been silent so I thought to talk to her. I took her plate of food, water, and medicines. She was in her room. All seating ideal........
I went to her room and knocked on the door. She didn't respond. After a few seconds, I only went in.
Shanvi: Ammama hear is your food and tablets.
She didn't turn not even moved. So I only went to her and placed her food near her.
Shanvi: Ammama leaves it. What happened happens. Why are you stuck in that incident only? Nothing happened everyone is fine.
She turned her head to me.
Author POV.
Shanvi stood straight seeing her Ammama's anger-filled eyes. She was sure this day would be bad for her. Savitri Devi stood up from the bed. She moved near Shanvi and stood straight to her.
All of a sudden she pulled her hair bringing her close to her face. She was more like a witch now. Poor Shanvi was scared to the shit now. Only God can save her from Savitri Devi's assault.
Savitri Devi, who doesn't seem to be as she looks. She is the store and evidence of one big truth which stood in front of her. The cunning lady can go to any extent of her greediness.
She had this doubt on Shanvi from the time of that marriage incident. She saw a different kind of happiness in her face. The happiness which was lost before the marriage was back on the drastic end of her marriage.
Her suspicious started when she saw tears of happiness shown in Shanvi place when the police arrested the culprits. She can't forget that. And her suspicious got strong by absorbing her from two days...
She knows that Shanvi an innocent soul cannot do these things. Someone was helping her for sure. At last, she couldn't take it anymore. She directly asked it to Shanvi...
Ammama: tell me who is helping you?? Tell the truth.
Shanvi: what are you talking about??
Ammama: don't act innocent. You know what I can do. Just tell me the truth or else you know your punishment.
Shanvi shivered to hear her words. But she can't reveal his name. She thought to take punishment rather than punishing others. She knows well about her Ammama is a witch in the form of a human.
Shanvi: Ammama please leave me. I didn't do anything.
Savitri pulled her hair more. Tears formed in Shanvi's eyes due to the pain.
Ammama: You are bound on telling the truth. I know how to make you spill it.
She pushed Shanvi and went to the backside of the house. Here Shanvi curled up in a ball and scared of her Ammama.
After a few minutes, Savitri came with a heated iron rod. Hearing the sound Shanvi moved and saw Savitri. Her eyes filled with tears and fear. She shook her head and moved back. She couldn't move more. Her body collided with the wall.
She joined her hands in front of her and shook her head.
Shanvi: please........ Ammama don't ........do this to me. I didn't...... do anything. Believe me.
Savitri Devi went near her.
Ammama: I am asking you for the last time. Tell me the truth.
Shanvi: Ammama....... I don't know anything. I didn't do....... anything please ....... believe me.
Poor soul cried more. Her tears added to screams when Savitri kept the hot rod on her legs..............
Shanvi felt her body numb with a burning sensation on her legs.
Ammama: this is what happens when you cross the limit. Do you know how much loss I went through with all this drama? Do you know how much they had paid me? Your trash couldn't even do this much for me. You rot here only.
She went out and locked the door from outside.
Shanvi was in shock hearing the words from an old lady who tried to sell her. She couldn't even think about it. She cried in pain and her fate...
Next morning.
When the cold water hit her face hard. Shanvi woke up shivering. Her body was burning with fever and more to this cold water.
Ammama: wake up soon and do your morning work. Don't forget you even got a penny less job too. Don't you dare to eat anything. Or else the same incident will repeat.
Shanvi stood up with shivering legs. She did her morning chores. She served Ammama and cleaned everything. She got ready for work in difficult conditions. Her legs couldn't move for a long time. Each step she took was shivering.
Shanvi: Ammama I will be late for work. As I need to report for holidays too
Ammama: I don't care where you go or stay or die. Just get me your monthly salary it's enough.
Shanvi nodded her head. Now the problem was that she needed to walk so long with these legs.......
How are you guys??

Shanvi POV.
I reached late to the work. It was hard to walk. I couldn’t afford to auto-rickshaw. If I did I will not be able to save for my own. I made some savings with my scholarships and salary. Apart from salary, I save a small amount, like a bonus or any extra money I get which is hidden from Ammama. I could only save little as she can investigate about my salary with others. If she gets to know it will be the death of me.
First I went to the washroom to clean this blood which happened on my legs. Somewhere eyeing me with curiosity and others with disgusting. I washed off the blood, tore the kerchief into equal parts and tied it around my wound.
I slowly walked to my disk. I started doing my work. My stomach was grumbling as I didn’t have anything from yesterday. Even I didn’t feel to eat anything, my appetite has died.
At noon. When he entered with his brother and manager. I stood wincing up o hide my pain behind the fake smile. I greeted them. He just glanced me in an eye blink and went of nodding his head.
At lunchtime, everyone went to have their food. But I didn’t as I had not carried my box and even I had more work pending to complete.
In the evening When everyone was winding up there work. I had still more to do. So I informed my colleague who stays near my house to inform me about my late arrivals to Ammama.
My stomach started making more noise. I neglected it and completed full work. I cleaned my table. I collected my things. Carefully I stood up and went out. But my hunger made me return. I drank a lot of water before leaving. Who knows what is waiting for me in the house. I may not get water also. I bid my departure to watchman uncle.
I still have a long way to go with small steps every minute. I walked as much possible, as I feel comfortable. Though the pain didn’t go. I can’t sit here and wait for a lift that too at late at night.
I sat for a few minutes as the pain become more. I thought about my life. Slowly tears formed and blurred my vision. I felt pity. It’s more like pathetic as I am crying in the middle, in the middle of nowhere, on the pavement.
This is not the first time I went through all this. This is not the first time I am feeling this. Nothing is new, but the pain is immense that you can find in my blood. I curse my fate. I curse my birth. I am cursed. There is no King nor a Prince to protect and save me. These are all lies. “Nobody iShanvi POV. I jerked when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I saw it was him. What he was doing here? Why he is here? Even his brother is behind him. They both were seeing me like an alien. I saw behind them to see that beggar was still there and eyeing me. They both followed my vision and turned back to me. Thrivikram: what happened?? Shanvi: Nothing. I slowly stood up balancing myself as I don't want to fall on him and create a scene in front of his brother. I don't even want to face Ammama's warmth if she gets to know about this. Thrivikram: Are you fine. Shanvi: Yes. I gave them a small forced smile. Shanvi: I must go it's getting late. I started to walk but couldn't go far enough from them. I can hear their talks. Thrivikram: Surya. They talked in a hushed voice. I couldn't hear much. Surya: ok Anna ( bro). I was pulled back and made a seat inside his car. Shanvi: leave me. I want to go home. He didn't respond and drive God knows where. He took a different route than usual. I know today I am gonna die in the hands of Ammama. My fate is only this. Slowly tears formed my eyes and sobs turned out uneven. My silent cries didn't go unnoticed. The car stopped in the desert area. He got down. He opened the door for me. Thrivikram: Get down. His tone was harsh and he was rude to me. We didn't talk anything only my tears and sobs discussed with each other. Thrivikram: last time I am asking what happened?? His voice was low and anger was evident in his voice. I trembled to tell anything to him. Thinking for a few minutes. I said what I wanted to... Shanvi: I.....want.....to .....go......home.......... I can't tell him anything. Even if nothing will change. My sobs turned to hiccups. After my reply, he took a long breath rising his chest up and down. He pulled me forcefully to me. He twisted my hands back causing a painful cry from my lips and holding it with his one hand. He squeezed my jaw with his other hand. He dangerously came close to my face dropping his height to mine. Thrivikram: when I ask a question. I want a perfect answer. Nothing else. He roared like a loin on my face causing me to cry more. Without knowing what to do. I simply leaned on his broad chest and let my tears go. My cries didn't stop and they will never. Thrivikram POV. I don't know what do now. I didn't felt like this. What I must do. She is leaning on me like seeking for my comfort. I don't know how to specify people. But this is something I don't know how to specify a woman. I never did this to anyone. Not even my mother. I let go of her hands and jaw. We stayed in the same position. Only her cries were heard which is eating my brain. If you can't share the reason for your problems then you don't have the right to cry in front of others. My thoughts broke my the grumbling sound. Surely it was not mine then it was hers. Even she realised our position and moved away. I controlled myself and calmed my range. Thrivikram: what happened? I asked in a low and calm voice as much as possible. Which I didn't do in my entire life. She didn't reply only wiped her eyes and nose. Thrivikram: did anyone do anything?? She nodded her head negatively. Okay, may this work. I remembered her looking at the beggar. Thrivikram: did that beggar to anything?? She nodded her head negatively again. And wiped the tears. Her while the face is swollen. Thrivikram: then... I couldn't complete my sentence as her stomach grumbled again... Thrivikram: Are you hungry?? Again no. Her guts to accept. My patience is decreasing down gradually. One last time. I specified myself. Thrivikram: Then what happened?? Shanvi: my leg hurts. Thrivikram: did you fall somewhere?? Again no. God, what shall I do with this girl? I scooped her in my arms and made her seat on the car bonnet. I pulled her legs forcefully to see any wound. But her pants covered in blood. I see the bloodstains. Did she?? I gulped down. In want situation I am. It's irritating and frustrating with this girl. Thrivikram: Are you..... are you in....periods... I asked her slowly. Again no. My patience was gone a long ago now. I pulled her legs forcefully earning a cream from her. I moved her pants above. I saw a big wound tied in a small kerchief. I removed the cloth to see the huge wound which is all fresh and blood was flowing. I did the same to her other leg. It was also in the same situation. Who did this to her?? Thrivikram: who did this?? No answer. Being patience is not gonna work here and on her. I creamed at her. Thrivikram: WHO DID THIS?? Shanvi: Ammama... The suddenly frightened answer came from her.

Slowly tears turned into sobs and hiccups. This is what happens when I cry long. I tried to control myself but couldn’t. Some only countable strangers pass by eyeing me but didn’t bother. But a beggar who was far away was staring at me. He didn’t move his eyes after being caught also. I was afraid of his appearance and looks he was giving me. He stops up with fear even I did carefully. He started to come towards me. I got more afraid and took a few steps to my destination. I tried to walk fast but couldn’t. When something was alarming in my mind as a warning of bad things going to happen.
I winced in every step I took. I gave up when I couldn’t. I saw he was still in his track. I cried covering my face and Chanting ‘ please let me go’.
I felt a hand on my shoulder………… I jerked with fear……..
