3| Her brother

"Varun? Its you-my friend?" shiva asked. His voice broken and defeated.

"No more your friend." the doctor spoke coldly.

"We used to be friends? In childhood right?" shiva asked but he already knows the answer.

Varun mittal is his childhood friend. And the real brother of the women he had abused. His heart pained. Varun had told him in childhood that raavi was his sister. They both used to live in an orphanage but got adopted by different parents. Varun had told him after they became friends that he wants to be friends with him because his sister were adopted by the someone who is shiva's family company's business partner. And they often visit them. Hence he can see his sister and ensure her well-being.

But as they grows up. Varun has to be move to a different palace and they were not in contact after that. But now he met him again.

But he had never thought he would meet his childhood friend in such circumstances.

Where he is the abuser of his friend's sister.

He wanted to hold her, to apologize and beg for her forgiveness, but it was too late. He had lost the right to beg for forgiveness, and he knew it. He was a monster, and he deserved to feel the pain and guilt that he had inflicted on Raavi.

After a long pause varun spoke.

"How? How can you do this to my sister. Let alone my sister how can you do this to any women." anger and disgust were visible on his face as well as the pain and worry for his sister as he continued.

"You are lucky that we are in this hospital right now, or i would have beaten you to death by now" a lone tear escape varun's eyes as he held shiva's collar and gave him a powerful punch.

"Raavi is my sister-My baby sister" he delivered another punch.

"How can you do this to her? You are a monster shiva. A monster. I wish you were in her place instead not her. She is fighting for life, her body abused and broken mind. Don't you felt any pity? What kind of a monster you are shiva? How can you-" Varun let go of his collar as he turns his back on shiva not wanting to let him see his tears, which is now flowing down freely.

Varun's heart has been broken into pieces, witnessing what his babg sister had suffered.

Hearing doctor words shiva felt the ground slipped under his feet. But what the doctor has said was true.He collapsed on the floor realising the depth of his cruelty.

Tears made their way out of his eyes as all the memories came infront of his eyes when he used to beat her.Taunt her.Humiliate her,His heart cried painfully remembering those days of hell.

Shiva feels himself getting shattered.He pulled his own hairs painfully as the guilt is not letting him breath.And he knows he deserve this.He deserve every kind of pain for destroying an innocent girls life. Punishing her for a crime she never did. Even if she was at fault she did not deserve that treatment. But he is realising it now, when it is too late.

"I-I am sorry" Shiva manage to spoke the only words he felt now. He knows what he had broke is beyond repair.

"Save it. You think your simple fake apology could fix everything. Can it fix my sister, who is now fighting for her life in this hospital. All because of you shiva. All because of you"

Varun spat, his own heart was breaking for his baby sister.

His words broke shiva more. He is a jerk a monster. He knows it all. But he also don't know how can he stoop so low to the point of abusing his own wife. His forced wife.

Tears flows down silently but shiva's heart longs to see her. To make sure she is okay and well taken care of. He wants to see raavi.

"Varun please allow me to see her. I swear i will not do anything, i will just see her. I am afraid she might me scared. She needs me varun"

Shiva pleads, desperate to see her.

"You are the last person she needs shiva. And you need to be behind the bars" varun almost screamed, cringing at shiva's words of plea.

"I know i will accept all the punishment. But please let me see her for once. I will just make sure she is not scared or uncomfortable-"

He was cut of by varun.

"Get lost"

"please. Just once"

"Get lost, before i comit a murder right here" varun growls.

A heart broken shiva looks at him again. His eyes hold a lot of pain and longing for her, hoping that varun will allow him to meet her but instead met with rejection.

Tears were continuously flowing from his eyes as he made his way out. He don't know what to do.

How to meet his raavi?

He wants to hold her in his arms and allow her to punish him the way she wants. He will happily accept any punishment even if she killed him he will happily die only if she wakes up.

Fear consumed him completely his hands shivering. He don't want to lose her. Not now when he knows what he had done wrong. She can't die without punishing him for his sin.

Without punishing her abuser.
