Archana's PoV
I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. As far as I know, no one has ever laid their hands on her. But now, her cheek is swollen like a balloon and I could even see her husband's fingerprints on her cheek.
When she came home, she went straight to the room and locked herself. My mom got so scared and we banged the door.
"Please! Give me some time. I will come in an hour. Aunty, make some nice dinner." she shouted from inside.
We knew she would be alright if we give some time. I don't know anything that happened. I only got to know that she is married when Aakash anna said that they are coming home for lunch. After exactly an hour, she came out wearing my t-shirt and shorts.
"What happened? I thought you just wanted to visit me when you called. Shall I call Aakash?"
"No Achu. I'm fine."
"Fine? Seriously? Look at you. You have cried. Your eyes carry a big bag underneath. Your cheek is swollen! And you say you are fine?" She is unbelievable.
"Pch, Relax Achu. My husband and I had a fight and he slapped me." She said like it was nothing.
"I can see that on your face." I said.
"I never imagined my all-time dream would come true." she closed her eyes dreamily. My mom looked at me and her.
"Danya! Are you hurt somewhere else?" My mom asked her.
"Pch, Mom, Ask her straight. Hey, are you hurt on your head? Idiot. Your husband has beaten you and you say your dream came true?" I asked her angrily.
"Aunty, I’m fine. Give me your special Almond milk please." she sent my mom in.
"I really liked it when he slapped me. Actually, it was so sexy. I love it when he is angry." she whispered to me!
"What are you? You sure have gone nuts! He made you a mental case with a slap? I think your brain is affected!"
"ACHUUUU!" she rolled her eyes.
"What else do you want me to think? You enjoy his abuse on you? Then why the hell did you come here? Why don't you want to let Aakash anna know?"
"Achu, Listen, You all know that I married him just because dad said so right? But that's not the truth. He is my school crush, Achu. I love him! I came here because he is taking me for granted. I came here because he humiliated me in front of people who are not family. I want to make him realize that I'm hurt. He will come here to pick me up first thing in the morning. He loves me too, Achu. Sometimes shock treatments work like magic." she said.
"He knows you are here?" I asked her, puzzled.
"No!"
"Then how will he come here?"
"He will come for me, Achu!"
"You sure are nuts. Why did he beat you?"
"Pch because of his ex-girlfriend."
"WHAT?" I clutched my heart.
