WHISPER OF HEALING
episode 1
The belt shithered through the loops of his trousers with a hiss
she was already on the floor, knees scraped against the cold cement, the sharp corner of the iron bed digging into her back. The room was dim -- a single bulb flickering like it couldn't decide whether to shine or die . The walls, once painted a soft cream, were stained now , with anger and oil and years of silence
He stood over her, towering , faceless in the half-light -- only his shadow moving on the wall , large and angry , likke a monster in a child's nightmare
unknown
I feed you, clothe you, give you my name, -- and you still don't listen
the belt cracked against the ground once . She flinched. It never came straight away -- he wanted her to feel the waiting
unknown
I should've married someone normal . Not some defective piece they threw at me like charity
Her palm pressed against her ears, but the sound still found it's way in. Her heart beat pounded in her throat, her ribs, her wrists . And when the belt didn't fall -- not on her skin, but near her feet- she still screamed
But no one heard. No one ever did

Draft
she scrambled to the corner of the room , curling into herself like she could disappear into her own bones ,. The scent of cigarette smoke, the leftover daal from the dinner, his rage-- they all clung into the air like ghost

*about to reach for her *
maithili chopra (Fl)
*woke up with a gasp*
the room was still. The air was cool. A fan whirred above her in a steady rhythm. She wasn't there, she wasn't his anymore
But the panic didn't know that
she sat upright in her small cot, hands gripping the bedsheets so tight her knuckles turned white
Her chest rose and fell like she'd just run a mile. her long hair clung to her temples, sweat trickling down the side of her neck. the soft cotton of her night kurta stuck in her back
The dream clung to her like second skin-- cruelly real, even now
maithili chopra (Fl)
*reached for the glass of water beside her*
maithili chopra (Fl)
*drink the water forcefully , pushing down the lump in her throat*
maithili chopra (Fl)
*get up from the bed, *
In the mirror across the room, her reflection was barely visible in the dark just the outline of a girl with long hair , thin wrists, and eyes too tired for her age
she look like a bride that had been returned unopen
maithili chopra (Fl)
*went softly towards the courtyard outside her room*
where tulsi plant stood in its red brick alter, it's leaves dark and still under the morning sky. she lit the diya, her finger steady now,
maithili chopra (Fl)
*expression blank*
the matchstick flared, and for a moment, the flame danced across her face, soft golden -- before she shielded it with her hand from the light breeze
maithili chopra (Fl)
om shanti.. om shantii.. shantii.. *whispers*
