Next day evening she showed me her mobile. It had a message from Mr. Shekhar.
It was a pic of a coffee.
"Mr. Shekhar is asking me out for a coffee."
She said. I found a smile dancing around the corner of her lips.
"So what?"
'You want me to go?"
She put her hand around my shoulder. I got it.
"It's not up to me. It's up to you to decide"
I put the ball in her court. She looked deep into my eyes.
"I don't want to go"
She said.
I felt really good. This simple incident made me feel like we've dealt with the damage in our marriage.
She further proposed to take a week's leave from her work. It would not only let her regain her life but also send Mr. Shekhar a message that she's not very okay with what happened.
I instantly agreed to the idea. It eased my mind. But next morning when I left for work, all my comfort was gone. Because I knew she's alone at home. Mr. Shekhar still remained friendly enough to walk into our house any time of the day. At work I was constantly at worry thinking about the possibly of Mr. Shekhar visiting her at home. I didn't think she would stop him from entering the house. Even I wouldn't do it.
It was a horrible feeling. It was a horrible day.
My heart was constantly at pressure and I felt by evening that I would die of heat attack. When I was relieved from work, I rushed home.
She was there, sound and safe. Yet, I spent a few minutes for observing her very closely to ensure it. I had become suspicious. I regretted behaving this way but I couldn't help myself. That night I told her that I'm also taking a few days off. She was glad at my decision.
Suddenly there was some relief in my heart. It was so simple. At some point of our lives, we all do come across these types of struggles. The cure would be so simple and close yet we feel like there is no escape from the pain. I felt like I just found a way to ease my pressure.
She suggested we should get away by ourselves for vacation to some places. It has been more than an year since we had our last vacation in Kolkata. After much thinking, we decided we should do a short trip to Goa and spend a few evenings there watching the sea. We still had the money from the 'token of love' gifted to her by Mr. Shekhar.

By Friday evening, we were at Goa and we chose to spend our stay at a vacation resort. We didn't have much of a plan to follow. We got off our room on the same day itself, though we spent it site-seeing and walking through the beach only. After that we had dinner in a nearby restaurant that set the right mood in both of us. We spent the night in the comfort of each other's warm bodies. We just slept, nothing more than that. But we both were feeling a sense of relief at each other's hands.
Next morning I woke up to see a recharged Meera. She wanted to go out as early as possible. After breakfast we went to watch a film. Then we had lunch and did some shopping. Before evening we hit the beach again.
She wore a blue dress that was really sexy and oozed confidence she had gathered in two days.
There were many couples like us in the beach. The waves ran between ours feet as we watched the sun sinking to the other side of the sea. I held her with my hand over her shoulder and we walked forward to the water. Some couples were in the water, playing and swimming.
"Tomorrow we'll also swim" Meera said, watching them.
Her dress and my jeans up to knees were drenched in water when we got back. We sat down on the sand to dry them before going back. Crowd was gone and darkness was spreading through the beach by the time we left our place. A security officerman was also seen advising people to leave. Meera didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay there till night. We walked along the beach to right side.
"Let's go sit on top of the stones"
She pointed towards the stones at the end of the path. It looked like there beach ended there. We walked around the stones to reach the other side.
"There's no one here." I said.
She looked at me and smiled. I too smiled. She turned to me and gave me a warm hug.
"I'm so at peace now, I love you Krish."
I really doubted if she needed this lonely place to hug me. Never mind, I said myself and I wasted no time to reciprocate.
I embraced her and quickly landed my lips on hers. It was our first kiss in a week. We didn't want to stop ourselves. We stood there in the shades of the big stones and kissed.
Until I heard someone moving behind me. I stopped and turned back, but before that I felt a very hard blow on the right side of my head. It wasn't something that would break my head but it indeed carried enough power to make me fall to the ground. Meera started to scream, but I heard her scream being cut. With my head still spinning, I saw her being held by a man whose palm was pressed across her mouth, through the corner of my eyes.
"Leave her..." I screamed in a lesser volume than I believed I could make and tried to get up. But next thing I knew was a piece of cloth being pushed into my mouth. He then pressed me to the ground overpowering me very quickly and tied my both hands to my back. Then he took his heavy bag and hit my head again. I felt like this time it must have broken in parts. But I didn't care much about it. I was looking to Meera. The man pulled her to the darker side and simply laid her to the ground. She struggled in his hands and shook her entire body to escape. I saw the man from my side quickly walking to them.
"Leave her!"
And he removed his hand off her mouth. Next thing I heard was a sound that left my heart reeling. It was a hard slap across her face that was enough to make her as well as me to become numb.
"Don't move!"
He grunted. I thought she must have become unconscious. Though she wasn't, it didn't matter. We both couldn't do a thing. I wept like a child for that was the only thing I could do. I saw her taker leaning to her face and I closed my eyes helplessly. It was devastating.
