Tainting The Void Canvas

7. ●Scars of Past●

"What if I do?"

"I don't know then"

Kissing her cheeks, leaving wet sloppy kisses on her neck he made his way to her front button.

"I'm not ready" Amaya stands up abruptly. She is not ready; this doesn't seem right.

"Why? Why not? I'm your husband damn it." He screams again.

Over the past month this had become quite normal for her but today there is a certain fear in her heart. A fear quite unknown.

"You need to understand. You can't force me without my consent."

"I so can. I have the right to do it. Just because I chose to give you time doesn't mean I will wait always. Listen you bitch today you have to give in."

"I won't. I will never give it. And about waiting. When did you wait for me exactly may I know? It's been always me waiting for you."

"Shut up you bitch." A hard slap made her loose balance, the taste of blood filled her mouth.
Her head is buzz as he throws her hard against the wall, blood comes out from the left side of her forehead.

She can see him undoing his pants, she screamed.

"No no no please stop no"

"Shut the fuck up." Making her stand he held her tight by her the elbow.

This is not even her worst nightmare, it's far from it. The person in front of her is not the one she loves; he is someone unknown to her.

The adrenaline rush in her system make her aware of the situation. His lips are on hers but this is not a kiss, it's force and if she loses to it that will be the end.

She will lose herself and he will die the next moment. He is drunk and not in his sense, she has to work first.

Without a thought she kneed him in his groin. He cried out of pain and soon loses consciousness.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh why???"

The next moment she sees herself in the mirror and screamed, it's not her anymore.

At this point Amaya is awake, but her limbs refuse to move, as if someone held her tight, as if someone choked her throat.

She could feel a weight on her chest, her mind screams the same words like that day, her heartbeat raced, her body is still numb whilst a lingering pain.

Finally, a scream left her throat,

"No"

Be-naam dhago se bandh gaya koi

Wo saath bhi nahi aur hum azaad bhi nahi.

And her mind goes back to that night when she ran away from there, the place she used to call home, the very next moment taking her suitcase along in the middle of the night having no idea where to go, what to do next, she just ran, away from everything, everyone.
