She was trying to sleep in the darkness of her room.

Wiping her tears she took a deep breath to control her sobs. She should sleep. It was just a bad dream.

No one was actually coming behind her.

No one can ever dare to touch her.

She was with her savior, her God. In his Den, they can never dare to come to her.

Her Rasika kaki  had insured her that he would be returning any moment.

Who knows if he had already returned?

Should She go down and look for him?

Should She go and tell him about her nightmares? That they will find her and again She will get the worse round of slaps and punches, again her clothes will be taken off, again she has to lay on cold floors.

No! No! She should stop thinking all this.

He said it all was a nightmare and now it's over.

He said. Though she could never tell him exactly how much she had bore.

He said that mean it's true. No one will pull her hairs. No one will smack her face on walls or cold floors as she won't need to say No.

"No will dare to r@pe me."

She told herself with tightly shut eyes and her tears rolled at cheeks. Quickly she wiped them off.

At the same time she felt a shiver in her spine and her body got frozen at the sound of crank of door.

What if her God was still out and they have came to get her?

She tried her best to stay still under her blanket but her body couldn't stop from shivering.

Next second she could hear quick steps toward her bed.

She felt like screaming but She shouldn't, it would confirm her presence so She held her own mouth with both of her hands.

But it all proved useless as next moment she felt a heavy hand at back of her head.

'Run for your life.'

A voice echo in her head and she flung out of her bed to run like She had run last time.

But next second she felt a strong jolt on her face and front body.

As result She was on floor with bleeding forehead.

Pain was immense but all she knew was to run, she found herself grabbed in a set of arms from behind, pulling back towards the bed.

Her fear knew no limits. It can't happen to her again, not in her safe heaven, not in her God's residence.
She started to scream and threaten him with her savior's name.

"Leave me! Let me go!"

"He will tear you in pieces."

"Shuuu...."

His husky voice filled in her soul as he  switched the side table lights covering her mouth.

She knew it was her God only. She is safe. She hadn't been attacked.

"Saanjh calmdown..."

Before he could complete his sentence she pulled herself up and hugged him tight with all her might.

"Adi ji... I ... I thought they found me." She said struggling between her sobs.

He tried his best to keep himself on his hands behind her at bed to support both of them and to stop himself from touching her back.

"I thought they will take me away from you. I... I know they can't dare to come in your presence. Why you left me for whole day? I will die if you left me."

Her hold around his neck tightened with each word of her's.

She was so close to him that he could feel her pounding heart in her chest.

Her words, her affection, her closeness was doing something to him. It was affecting his remaining sanity as he already had enough of alcohol at party because his first love was there with her husband.

And here this girl was confessing her affection for him.

"I want to die in peace Adi ji... I want to die in front of you. If possible, I want to die in your arms." She concluded her words hiding her face in crook of his neck.

Her warm breath triggered something in him. He lost his remaining senses and hugged her back lying on bed. Taking her over himself.

"I won't let it happen. You will live. You will live a happy healthy life. With me or without me, but you will live."  He placed a passionate kiss at her forehead.

She closed her eyes firmly as this new touch of his was something She never had felt in her life. It made her still yet awkward.

She wasn't scared of him or his touch but why all sudden she was feeling awkward in his embrace.

His eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds before resting at her lips.

A small mark of cut was still present at the corner of her lips.
His thumb caressed at the mark, in response she tightened her closed eyes.

Something flashed across her mind, she saw herself on floor, naked, begging to let her go but that man again slapped her hard. As she sat back after collecting herself from floor his thumb lingered at the wound result of his slap at her lip corner.

He gazed at her ozzing blood like it was what his reward before poking his thumb in her wound.

She had screamed but before she could had, her mouth was crushed ruthlessly by his lips.

She started to shiver out of fear at sudden recreation of her past.

"What? What happened?"  Aditya came back to reality with a jolt as her warm tear fell on his own eye.

He realized how badly She was shaking.

"Saanjh.. relax. I'm here. He won't touch you ever, leave touching I won't let him lay an eye on you." He sat back quickly shifting her in his lap.

"You... You're smelling like them." She dared to frame her words with great difficulty.

Smell! Liquor! How could he forget?

He quickly placed her at bed under blankets and called out for Rasika kaki.

She held his hand before he could leave.

"Please don't go." She requested with tears and unsteady voice.

He turned to look at her face as since he realized what he was up to doing, he was unable to look at her out of shame.

How could he act so turbulent?
It was certainly not love but lust!

He felt ashamed to feel that way, especially for her. She was not in her senses completely. Doctors had advised him to treat her like a child or she can go back to that state of mind, in which he found her few months back in Forest.

He wanted to leave the room but her teary eyes and that trust in her eyes bound his feet.

He touched her forehead at corner. It was red as when he entered her room she tried to escape out of her past fears and threw herself against wall.

A tear escaped his eye to feel her terror.

Rasika kaki came in few minutes to take her head in her lap and make her sleep. But he had to sit there holding her hand.

As it was his presence only that can assure her of safety.
