As kanak was moving forward someone grabbed her from behind , muffling her mouth.

Something took her behind the car, kanak was shock to see that person.

" What are you doing here?", kanak question that person.

" Whatt are youuu doing here?" That person, Surendra, questioned her.

" I'm just here, minding my own work", kanak lied to him not wanting him to caught anyone.

" Really, do you think I'm dumb?", Surendra said in sarcasm.

" Yes", kanak Muttered under her breath.

" What?", Surendra asked, "nothing", kanak said not wanting to continue the fight.

" Surendra don't waste my time", kanak said.

" Okay, so we will go together ", Surendra held her hand and started moving before she could response.

They both started moving —slowly, behind vatsal.

Vatsal stopped at a house and ran inside it in hurry shouting,"Priya".

Kanak and Surendra looked at each other and too ran in the direction of vatsal.

Kanak and Surendra enter the house and were shocked.

Surendra shouted," Priya" and ran inside the house.

Kanak was standing there being shocked —priya, was getting beaten miserably by her husband.

Surendra grabbed her husband's, anup collar and pushed him on the floor.

Meanwhile, vatsal was handling her sister who was crying badly because of her husband, his behaviour and the marks on her body.

Kanak ran towards her ," are you okay? , please stand up", making her stand up.

She was crying miserably on kanak's shoulder.

Anup again got up and with his angry red eyes, shouted," who are you all do interfere in husband - wife's matter?"

" You are beating her and telling who we are? Don't you have any shame", kanak shouted with the same intensity.

" Heh, ladki mujhse itni unchi awaj me baad karne ki teri himmat kaise hui" Anup said in his rude loud tone.

(" Heh girl, how dare you to talk to me in this loud tone")

Kanak moved closer to anup and said with the same loud tone," me isse bhi zayada zor se chilla kar baat kar sakti hu".

Kanak roared to him, Surendra who was very impressed by her—a girl who never fights but today she was different.

Priya who was continuously crying, vatsal told her," priya don't cry baccha, are you too hurt tell me baccha".

Surendra moved to priya and held her face and wipes her tears on cheek" what I told you , that if anything happens tell me first, before vatsal I'm here for you , I told you know na I'm your elder brother, anything bad happened tell me not vatsal"

Priya— vatsal's younger sister, who got married at a young age , but soon her husband turn into an alcoholic man, who used to often beat her in his drunk condition.

" Kon ho tum log, why are you all interfering in my matters?", anup glared at them.

Surendra was very angry and wants to kill him as he moved closer kanak hold her hands and stop her.

" Let police handle him".

"P..police" priya whispered.

" You so need to worry, your brother is still alive, and I will protect you from everything ", vatsal took her in embrace—a protective shield ,every brother has for his sister.

Surendra looked at kanak, signing her to take priya inside.

Kanak took her inside and started bandaging her wounds.

In the hall, Surendra and vatsal was beating anup—blood was coming from his nose and mouth.

Surendra break his hand from which he was beating priya.

Just then police came and with the voice of siren everyone gathered outside.

Priya looked at kanak with fearful eyes.

Kanak assured her and took her out, anup was half unconscious, the officers were holding him.

The tears were continuously flowing from priya's eyes.

" Anup is arrested but before that we need Mrs. Priya's statement about all the incidents that took place", the police officer requested her but priya was silent.

" Mrs. Priya, look your statement is very important without your statement or proof we will not be able to do anything, we won't be able to arrest him".

Everyone started looking at each other and priya tensely.

Kanak held priya's hand and said," priya, if you will not tell the truth, how will they take any action against the wrong that happened, agar tum aaj nhi bologi , to vo har ladki jo iss domestic violence ka shikar hoti hai unki himmat kaise badhegi, tum sirf apne liye nhi balki har ladki ke liye apna statement do, ek baar himmat krlo priya, hum tumhe kabhi kuch nhi hone denge.."

Priya looked at kanak with hopeful eyes and said ," just after my marriage, anup used to drink and come late at night, and one day in his drunk condition he came and slapped me because I was late in serving dinner, after that he often used to come and beat me, I tried to stop him but he did not and said me if I told anyone he would kill me".

" And today also, I didn't do anything and he started beating me", priya said her voice trembling with the fear and her sufferings.

Police recorded her statement and arrested anup.

They all went out from the house , but the crowd outside did not let them move.

Police who was taking anup, stopped midway.

The crowd Started whispering about the incidents that happened.

One women from the crowd said," what would has happened,if she would have compromised , today her husband wuld not have to go to jail".

That boiled the anger of Surendra and kanak.

Kanak stood in front of priya and said to that women," why she should compromise, he is the one who is wrong, so stop accusing her".

" Because she is a women and women should compromise, what happened if her hand just slap her, he didn't killed her, so why so much drama?", another lady who was standing near her, said.

" JUST SHUT UP ,just because she is a women , a man has a right to slap her or even beat her, you are also a women and how would you even say this?", kanak was disgusted by their words.

" Why we should just up, she should be in her limit, ladkiyo maryada me rehna chahiye, lekin aaj kal ki ladkiya to maryada kya hoti hai or usme kaise rehna chahiye yeh to bhul hi gai hai, inhe to comprise karna bhi nahi aata".

" Satyug me PRABHU SHRI RAM KO MARYADA PURUSHOTTAM kaha gaya tha kyuki maryada unka GEHNA tha , or Aaj hum maryada ki bediyo me ek nari ko band dete hai, maryada me ek ladki or ladke dono ko rehna chahiye " kanak roared at them like a lioness.

Surendra was looking at her like, that's my girl.

" Aap logo ko to khud per sharm aani chahiye, ek nari ho kr bhi aap dusri bari ko keh rahi hai usko compromise karna chahiye, hum ladkiya hi compromise kyu kare, shadi to dono ne ki haina to dono ko karna chahiye".

Before anyone could point out kanak and say anything further, " ENOUGH " Surendra shouted.

" Inspector, you take him", Surendra said and officer nodded and took anup with them.

Kanak and Surendra too moved out from crowd .

Just as they all were moving, vatsal stopped and looked at kanak, " Thank you so much kanak and Surendra, because of you , I was able to save my sister".

Surendra slapped vatsal and said him," she is not yours but mine sister too, that's why I saved her".

Just then Vatsal and priya's parents came to them.

Priya hugged her mother and cried her heart out. Priya's father placed his hand on priya's head and said," just for once, you should have told me beta, I would have taken you to home, your home".

Vatsal told them everything that happened.

Priya's father joined her hands in front of kanak ," because of you beta, today my daughter is safe, I will always owe you this, whenever we need my any help just tell me".

Kanak hold his hands," please don't join your hands in front of me, you are my elder, please uncle ".

With a slight smile, he put his hand on her head.

After that they all left from there, Surendra had already called his car .

Kanak was moving to other side, to which Surendra said," where are you going?, car is here".

Kanak looked at him ," don't worry I can take an auto".

Surendra glared at her and said, " I'm here and you are talking about taking an auto".

Kanak looked at him , he held her hand and made her sit in her.

They went at home, only for all of them to welcome them with a lot of questions.

They both told them everything and sigh on relief.

" Me uss anup ki jaan le lungi, matlab koi aese kaise kr sakte hai", sapna's anger boiled.

" Sapna shant usko police le gai hai", tej assured her.

Next day, kanak was moving downstairs, she saw that Surendra and priya were together sitting in the car, before kanak could ask them anything, they both left.

Kanak followed them and saw them moving inside the police station.

Kanak being curious follow them,but was totally stunt after hearing the officer," after signing these paper, you can bail anup, and the complaint against him would be taken back".

Kanak thought that anup would have manipulated priya —to forgive him.

Before priya could sign, kanak snatch the papers from her hands.

" What the hell are you doing priya, you are taking your complaint back?", kanak was shock to see priya doing this.

" Kanak, leave that papers and move back" Surendra said .

" Really Surendra, I thought you would fight for right but I was wrong ", kanak said her voice laced with the betrayal given by Surendra.

" KANAK", Surendra moved towards her and took paper from her hands and gave them to priya.

" Priya, listen don't do it", kanak was trying her best to stop priya but Surendra held her hand and stop her .

Before kanak could stop her, she signed the papers.

Kanak stood there— a silence of disappointment, a silence of betrayal, a silence of victory of wrongs.

As anup was released, and stood in front of priya, kanak with the last glance left from there.

Kanak directly left to college with others.

After some time Surendra enter the class, and sat beside kanak.

As Surendra tried to talk to kanak, she started leaving the class, by holding her wrist.

Kanak looked at him, then wrist and then to others present in class.

Surendra signed them to leave and one by one everyone left from there leaving them alone in class.

" Kanak ,first listen to me", Surendra tried to talk to her.

Kanak free her wrist from his hold ," I don't want to talk to you, I really thought that you are a person with good heart and will never leave the side of what is right but you proved me wrong ".

" Kanak—", Surendra tried to speak but kanak again interrupt him," please, I don't want to listen " , and left from there.

As kanak was roaming in corridor with the anger, someone pulled her inside a room.

"What the—, Surendra again you", kanak said .

" Yes me, and now you are not going anywhere ", Surendra told her and took her in his arms and made her sit on the table.

" I don't want to —", kanak tried to get up but Surendra held her tightly from waist and pulled her closer.

" If you want me to do something, which you will regret, then try to move from here", he said in his deep voice, dangerously closer to her, her lips brushing her cheeks.

Kanak stood there silently knowing very well the consequences.

" I really don't want to release anup but priya came to me and told me that anup had called her and he has realised his mistake, he promised her that he will treat her right and he is sorry for everything".

" And you believed his words", kanak mocked him.

" Do you really think Surendra Rathod belives easily?"Surendra said.

" I went to police station at night and warned anup not to manipulate priya in his words but he was really guilty about his work, and I saw in his eyes, and when I met priya again, I refused her because my mind was not ready but she told me that if I consider her as my sister them I have to bailed him, she swear on me ".

I was bound between the situation, and I was left with no choice.

When kanak heard him, she was feeling bad for not listening to him.

" Okay, I'm sorry na, I know I should have listen to you", kanak said with her puffy eyes.

Surendra with a slight smile said, " it was neither your fault nor mine, so don't take it so much".

" Yes, but what if anup again—?", kanak asked him.

" Don't worry I have talked with anup in very clear way, so he won't do such a thing " Surendra assured her.

Kanak nodded and asked him to put her down.

They both left from the class.
