Mithila helped Meera lie down and sat next to her till she fell asleep.
Mithila kept Meera on mild sedatives so that her disturbing memories would be suppressed till her general condition improved. With every passing day, Meera was feeling better. She was recovering fast, like a wounded sparrow who was now fluttering her wings trying to take flight.
“How are you feeling Meera?” Mithila asked as she entered Meera’s room for routine rounds.
“I’m feeling good, alive,” Meera said with a smile.
“There’s something I need you to listen calmly,” Mithila said holding Meera’s hand, “We’ve found drugs in your blood, large doses of heroin and you are most likely addicted. Since you’ve been hospitalized here, I’ve been maintaining you on methadone so that you don’t suffer from withdrawal.”
“So, what happens to me now?” Meera asked with a sad face.
“After you are discharged from this hospital, we will be moving you to a rehab center. It is a beautiful place, a little away from the city, you’ll be safe there. You’ll have shelter, food and people taking care of you so that you get clean soon,” Mithila said.
“Will you be there?” Meera asked grabbing Mithila’s hand tightly.
“I’ll come visit you,” Mithila assured, “Dr. Keith will be looking after you there. He is a good doctor and a good friend of mine.”
“I have no money to pay for rehab, or the bill of this hospital either,” Meera said tearfully.
“Don’t worry about that sweetie,” Mithila assured, “I just want you to get well soon. I’ll be taking care of all your bills till we find your family.”
Meera’s eyes were filled with tears of gratitude and she hugged Mithila tightly, “I’ll go wherever you want me to go, I’ll do whatever you say, just stay with me a little longer…please…I’m all alone and I feel so scared…you have always been so kind to me…”
“Hey sweetie,” Mithila said reassuringly rubbing her back, “I am always here for you.”
“Could you hold my hand till I fall asleep?” Meera asked.
Mithila smiled and held her hand. Meera slowly drifted off to sleep. Mithila smiled at the sleeping girl and gently fondled her head. But soon she observed the Meera was restless. Her eyelids fluttered as if she was dreaming. And in less than a minute, she woke up and sat down on bed. She looked at Mithila with wide open eyes like she had seen a ghost.
“Are you okay girl?” Mithila asked.
Meera shook her head and sobbed bitterly.
“I can’t sleep Mithila. These bad dreams, they keep coming back. They don’t make any sense; I’m so fucked up in my head!” Meera screamed as she frantically began to hit her head with her hands, “Make these dreams go away Mithila! Make them go away!”
“Calm down Meera,” Mithila said holding her tightly, “It’s alright, we are going to figure this out, and we are going to make this stop. Tell me, what did you see?”
“I saw…a man, he had blue eyes…and there was another man; they seemed like best friends. And we were in this deserted place, these two men locked me in their car. You were there too, in my dream, Mithila, you were trying to help me…and then, that blue eyed man…he….” Meera started crying uncontrollably and couldn’t finish her sentence.
“What did he do?” Mithila asked.
“He stabbed you in the heart with a knife…you fell to the ground; you were still alive but he ripped out your still beating heart. I tried to scream, but this other man, he grabbed me from behind and smothered me, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t breathe, I tried to fight but he was too strong…and then everything went blank…” Meera said as she cried uncontrollably.
Mithila held Meera firmly trying to pacify her. “It’s alright dear, just a bad dream, we are both fine here, aren’t we?”
“Am I going crazy Mithila?” Meera asked.
“You are not crazy Meera,” Mithila said, “I would never invalidate your feelings or fears. Dreams aren’t entirely true, but they always have some connection to reality. The mind makes associations. Don’t be so hard on yourself Meera. Let time heal you. Everything is going to be ok.”
Meera smiled weakly.
“I’m increasing the dose of sedatives so that you sleep better, you need rest right now more than anything,” Mithila said
It was the third day since Meera was hospitalized. She had recovered almost completely now.
Meera was gazing out of the window, viewing the gleaming city. She was smiling, she was feeling free and peaceful. Mithila entered the room and she smiled lovingly at Mithila.
“How are you feeling now, Meera?” Mithila asked her with a smile.
“I’m feeling great actually,” Meera chirped, “There’s hardly any pain, and I’m feeling alive!”
“That’s wonderful,” Mithila said, “Any more bad dreams?”
“Thankfully, no, I could sleep well last night,” Meera said with a smile. Then she pointed at the bandages on her body, “But when do we get these off?”
Mithila’s smile suddenly faded. She held Meera’s hand gently and guided her to sit down on the bed.
“I need you to listen to me very calmly,” Mithila said to Meera, “I’m going to tell you something that may be disturbing to you, but I need you know to that I am here for you no matter what.”
Meera was now suddenly very worried.
“Do you have any kind of memory about any kind of tattoos that you may have had?” Mithila asked calmly.
“Tattoos?” Meera asked, as her expression suddenly became very grave. Her eyes were tearful and she suddenly looked very afraid. “I’ve been having these nightmares about...some very bad things written on my body…I thought it was just a bad dream…”
Mithila closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“Meera…” Mithila spoke calmly, “There are some words written on your body…with permanent ink. But I’ve already spoken to a dermatologist, there are treatments available, it takes time, but we will get them off you completely.”
“You put up these bandages just to cover them up?” Meera asked touching the bandages on her body.
Mithila closed her eyes and nodded.
“I want to see them Mithila,” Meera said, “Could you take them off?”
“I will,” Mithila said. Then she cupped Meera’s face and said, “I just want you to remember that you are a very strong girl, ok?”
Meera nodded. Mithila gently peeled off the bandages from her body, revealing the degrading words to Meera. Meera tried to hold back her tears, but broke down eventually. She buried her face in her palms and wept bitterly.
“How could they do this to me?” Meera cried. She felt shattered from within.
“Perhaps they were trying to break you,” Mithila said rubbing her back, “But you are way too strong Meera.”
Meera suddenly got aggressive and pushed Mithila away, “Don’t touch me! I am dirty! I am a whore!”
Meera began to scream loudly and throw things around in the room. Her eyes were red with rage. Her aggression rapidly spiraled out on control as she screamed hysterically. Shattered glass was everywhere, and Meera had become a threat to herself and others around her if not quickly controlled. Mithila quickly rang the call bell and two nurses entered the room.
“Hold her down,” Mithila ordered as she loaded a syringe.
“NO!” Meera screamed, “NOT THE NEEDLE! NOT THE NEEDLE!”
The nurses held Meera down on the bed as she struggled violently.
“Easy, easy girl,” Mithila said as she injected a tranquilizer into her, “You are ok, you are ok…”
Within seconds Meera was subdued. Mithila asked the nurses to leave the room. She sat down on the bed next to Meera and cradled her head and lovingly ran her fingers through her hair.
Meera was barely conscious. But she felt the warmth of Mithila’s body and her loving touch. She responded by snuggling deeper into Mithila arms. “I love you Naina di,” Meera whispered before she drifted off to sleep.
Mithila realized that Meera just referred to her by the name 'Naina'. She guessed that perhaps Naina was someone close to Meera. Mithila made a mental note that she would ask Meera about Naina when her condition stabilizes. But at the moment, she just held Meera in her arms, gentle fondling her head till she fell asleep.
Mithila rested her back against the bed’s headboard, still holding Meera in her arms. She closed her eyes. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed but, she was suddenly awakened by Meera’s scream. Meera was sitting up on her bed trembling in fear. Her eyes were red and tearful and her lips trembled. Her heart was pounding in her chest.
“Shhhh” Mithila said comforting her, “Calm down sweetie…”
“I saw something Mithila…” Meera said in a trembling voice.
“What did you see?” Mithila asked, “Another nightmare?”
Meera was silent for one whole minute. Then she slowly turned her head towards Mithila and started narrating,
“I was in a room…its walls were wooden…
I was lying on the floor, on some kind of a rug. I was wearing a white dress, but it was torn obscenely and it barely covered my body…
and my head was spinning…and I couldn’t see clearly…
Then there was a man…he was naked…he was wearing this mask…with holes cut out for his eyes and lips…I recognize his eyes, I recognize his voice…I’ve certainly seen him before…
He’s started touching me…he touched my breasts…started playing with me nipples…
He disgusts me, I wanted his hands off me, I wanted him to stop touching me, but I was helpless…
I felt a pleasurable sensation in my nipples, I couldn’t stop him from pleasuring me…
I wanted him to go away…but he kept playing with my breasts…and I felt heat growing between my legs…my legs slowly open up…I felt ashamed, I didn’t want any of this…
“When I first saw you at Queen’s Heart, you used to be such a prude, bitch,” he whispered in my ears, “Now look at you…a shamless slut with her legs wide open all wet and horny ready to be fucked…”
My body betrayed me…I felt a tingle in my pussy hearing his degrading words…
He ordered me to get on fours…and I obeyed…
He got on top of me and I feel his cock enter my pussy…and started fucking me…
“You…are…nothing…but…a…cock…hungry…hole” He said this over and over again!
Over and over again!
Over and over again!
Over and over again!
Over and over again!
Over and over again!
And then something happened to me…something snapped!”
Meera was frozen with fear as she finished her narration.
Mithila hugged her gently rubbed her back.
“Mithila,” Meera said calmly, “We need to go back to the place where you first found me.”
“Hey girl,” Mithila tried to comfort her, “You are safe now. You don’t need to go anywhere. Those bad guys can’t hurt you anymore.”
“No, you don’t understand,” Meera said looking straight into her eyes, “That wasn’t a nightmare. It was a memory from the night you first found me. The blood you had seen on my clothes, it wasn’t mine.”
Mithila kept Meera on mild sedatives so that her disturbing memories would be suppressed till her general condition improved. With every passing day, Meera was feeling better. She was recovering fast, like a wounded sparrow who was now fluttering her wings trying to take flight.
