chapter 4

My mind was loosing its sense and my heart was full of fear and anxiety.Everyone's hostile attitude was making me crazy."Omm believe me, I didn't do anything, there might be some mistake . Please trust me" I said to him with teary eyes. He walked forward to me, I thought he might have believed me I saw a glimpse of hope to clarify my name."Do you really believe this shameless girl above all these proofs?" his mom said. He didn't answer to her  and walked to  me, I gathered a little hope that if he trusts me then we can solve this problem together and I will be able to prove my innocence. "Thankyou Omm for trusting...." I didn't even able to finish my words,that hope of mine proved wrong. He came to me and grab my chin tightly and said "if you were that hungry then why didn't you tell me! I would have satisfied you with everything""Omm what are you saying!" I was surprised. His words were piercing my heart like a pin."No... I think you can't be satisfied with one person that is why you did this right!" He told this and pushed me away, I fell on to the ground and my hand got fractured. Still that physical pain was nothing compared to the pain I was feeling in my heart. I stood up and again requested Omm to believe me. But he rejected every means to believe me."I truly loved you, I went against everyone to marry you but what did you do to me?" Omm said with tears, his pain could be measured from his tone."Omm believe me, I" I was about to grab his hand  but he shook away and said "don't touch me, you stinks. It's even disgusting to breath in same air as you. From now on there is nothing between us. If anything remained between us is enmity. I will never let you forget what you did to me. You will pay for everything you did to me and my family. Wait to face the real Omm Birla from now on. Let's go mother I can't stay at this place anymore".He left with his family without looking back. I ran after him calling his name and I even ran after his car to stop him but he didn't stop. But when I was outside I felt many eyes on me, I started to shiver from their gaze. They muttered behind me"What a shameless girl""We thought she is a good girl but who knew she had so many secrets""She always pretended righteous but who knew she was dark from inside""I proposed her but she rejected me, now I understand she only need that type of things"I felt I was dirty and their gazes were dirtier than me.I ran into the house to save myself from their gaze. When I went in my father was still there, he came to me and slapped me as soon as he saw me. That was the first time when my father ever hit me."I thought you are my pride but who knew you would be the one to slap me on my face"."Father, please trust me..." I desperately asked for his trust."Trust! I will never able to trust you in this life time" he said.I went to my father with hope and said "Father you know ... It's not me and I will never do something so shameful".My father slapped me on my cheek again and said "why didn't you die on the day you born. Everything is over now, I couldn't show my face anywhere because of you".He left with those words."I am the one at fault,may be my upbringing was wrong that's why you made us like this" my mom said with tears."No mom, you did nothing wrong" I tried to make her believe me."Then why did you do this! why didn't you kill us before doing these shameful things. If anything happens to our family then only you will be  responsible for everything" My mother said this and left after my father. "Sister you were pride of our family, you were my ideal but what you did will never leave our family alone. Shame will follow us everywhere, I'm very disappointed at you... No, I'm disgusted with you sister..." My younger sister who was my bestfriend said this and left.I was completely broken and alone, no one heard my explanation. No one even believed me.How come it became like this! It was just yesterday when everything was alright. I was happy and excited to start a new journey. It was just yesterday when my family was celebrating my marriage functions.It was just yesterday when Omm called me and teased me saying I look ugly in my sarre.How it all changed into like this. I cried and cried while seating there on the floor. I cried a lot and like that it was already morning. But even after sunrise it seemed dark to me. I felt sun was covered by clouds. In morning there used to be my mom's tea smell and father's shlokas while worshiping God, but on that day there was no noise at all in our house. It felt like everyone was gone to somewhere.I had no courage to get up and went out. I didn't want to face anyone, I didn't even changed clothes from last night. I thought what could be done by me! The only answer was I need to proof my innocence. But I was afraid to open that envelope again. Still I got up and took a shower to clear my eye and head,then changed my clothes and opened those photos. After seeing those photos again and again, I felt I knew nothing about those photos. How can it be real! I wanted someone's help to check photos so I called my friends for help but no one received my call. Those who received either they mocked me or they said they don't want to spoil their  reputation because of me. Fun fact was those were the people who always followed me like dogs and were dying to become my friend. Is that how friends act! I lost all my hope and looked at those photos again. I realised those were the photos clicked on the same day but I was wearing different dresses. I realised it from background of those photos.After looking a lot at it I found it was on that night when I went out in to a hotel with my friends and where my sister and her friends also joined me there for my bachelor's party.I got a hope to clear my name.
