Post by Naveen on Dec 23, 2015 1:50:40 GMT
Naveen had locked himself away in the office with his father, casually mentioning Nita's upcoming marriage to him. "Don't think you can threaten me out of this one son. Nita is sixteen years old. It's time she makes her contribution to this village by starting a family." His father sat lazily in his chair, feet propped up as he sucked on his pipe. Naveen stood across the room, doing his best to keep his cool. The last thing he wanted was for Nita to overhear them and get herself into trouble. "This is ridiculous father, she's still a child! The men in this village would not treat her well and I will not stand by while my sister gets beaten into submission." Naveen could feel his temper rising but he did his best to keep it down. His father slammed down his pipe, the sound resonating around the room as he pushed himself to his feet and approached his son. "Damn it Naveen, haven't you learned your place yet? You and your sister are the future of this village and I will not let your stupid little opinions get in the way of that!" The man brought his arm up, pinning Naveen by the throat to the wall behind him, causing his head to slam against the hard stone. Naveen groaned as his hand flew up, gripping his father's wrist. "Your sister is going to marry within the month and guess what? You're next. You will both have children of your own and continue my legacy. Your grandfathers and I haven't spent the last four centuries building this empire just to have you ruin it because you want to protect your precious sister." Naveen's gaze hardened at his father's words and before he could think straight, he brought his fist up and punched his father in the face. The man stumbled back, releasing his grip on Naveen only for a moment. "You sick son of a bitch, that is your daughter! You are going to put her in harms way with these scoundrels you call men instead of letting her marry for love?" Naveen's father turned to him, anger clearly showing on his face as he grabbed his sons arm, twisting it behind his back until Naveen fell to his knees before him. He grit his teeth and forced himself to look up at his father, pain shooting through his muscles. "If you speak to me like that again, I will have your little girlfriend raped in front of you. And don't you try to deny it, I know you've been sneaking around with an outsider. I've been ignoring it for now but don't think that this excludes you from your duties." His father sneered down at him, twisting Naveen's arm until he cried out in pain and then punched him until his body flung back into the wall. Naveen groaned as his body fell in a heap on the ground, his hand cradling his injured shoulder as pain shot through him. His father had gotten stronger, which was something he hadn't planned on but he had to stand up for Nita. He couldn't let her life get ruined because of his father's idiocy.

Nita jumped as she heard a thud and then heard raised voices, her mother had left earlier so she wouldn't be able to intervene. Before she could think things through, Nita hurried to her dad's office. A part of her knew that if she went on ahead, without knocking she'd face the consequences. Then again, she couldn't let Naveen face their father's wrath alone. That strengthened her resolve and then she pushed open the door, her eyes widened as she took in Naveen. He lay on the ground, plainly having been beaten by their father. Nita's eyes moved to look at their father, this was what she hated about him...he was abusive. "Why are you always so abusive? Naveen's just worried about my safety! He at least cares! Not like you!" She snapped as she stepped in front of Naveen. She knew she had crossed a line, yet she couldn't bring herself to care not when Naveen was clearly hurt. "All I have ever done is try to be the daughter you'd like me to be! I'm even willing to get married, but I will not get married if you keep hurting Naveen!" Those last words were said in an almost shout, she was that angry. "I won't....not if you treat him like this." She said firmly.

Naveen's gaze shot to the door when it suddenly flung open and Nita entered the room. He cursed under his breath, knowing exactly how their father would react at her interruption. Even though they had clearly been fighting, their father had strict rules when it came to his study and Nita had broken multiple in just her presence here. "Nita, stop it. Go back..please." Naveen groaned as he sat up, wiping the blood off his bottom lip with his sleeve. This had to be one of the worse beatings his father had given him, even though he had barely attacked him. Now that he was stronger, he didn't have to do as much to make Naveen cry out. Their father turned to look at Nita, his gaze hardening at the sight of his daughter. "You know my rules Nita. I'll get to you when I'm finished with your brother here." Just as he took a step towards Naveen, Nita stepped in front of him and he growled. Her words sent a spark of anger through him and his hand flew up, backhanding her until she fell to the ground beside Naveen. He knelt down, gripping her braid and pulled her up until she was eye level with him. "Now now princess, need I remind you the consequences of speaking to me like that?" A smirk came to his face but it didn't last long as Naveen's foot came up and kicked him in the stomach. His body fell back onto his back and within moments, Naveen was on top of him, his body straddling his father's as he kept him pinned to the ground. "Touch her again like that and I'll rip out your heart with my bare hands." His father only chuckled as he stared up at his angered son. "Give it up Naveen. You know you won't be able to win this, you might as well let Nita do this of her own free will before it resorts to raping her as well. If you're not careful, both of your little ladies will be nothing more than whores." Naveen's eyes widened at his father's words, barely even having time to react when his father punched him in the stomach and then the groin causing Naveen's body to fall to the side.

Nita didn't even have time to react as her dad backhanded her, causing her to collapse. She whimpered as he grabbed her braid and pulled her up, "N...no." She said quietly and then Naveen was there, she let out a gasp as the hold on her hair was released. Her gaze turned towards her dad and Naveen as her dad started talking. Absolute dread filled her then, "What did you say?" She asked, she had never thought her dad would ever actually say something like that much less mean it. She moved forwards and grabbed her dad's arm, "Stop it! You've hurt him enough!" She said with tears falling down her face, she couldn't think about the fact that he had actually threatened to have her hurt in such a manner.

The man pushed Nita away as he pulled himself to his feet, laughing at the sight of his children on the ground before him. "Maybe you'll learn your place this time Naveen. Now that you have two women to protect." With that, their father turned and disappeared from the room. Naveen grimaced as he pushed himself onto his knees, his body leaning over and he used his hands to support himself as he coughed, his blood mixing with his saliva. "Nita...you shouldn't have intervened. He's going to punish you..." He looked up at her, his eyes letting her know that he wasn't happy she came in. Naveen was used to his father beating him like that whenever they got into an argument and he never wanted Nita to know. He took so many beatings for her over the years and he planned on continuing as long as it kept her safe. Though now that he knew what his father was willing to put her through, he didn't want to leave her with him. Once he caught his breath, Naveen sat up and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, getting rid of the blood that crept down the corner of his mouth. "You weren't supposed to see that...I never wanted you to find out.." He winced as his hand moved up and clutched his shoulder, pulling himself unsteadily to his feet. When she tried to steady him, he nudged her away and shook his head. "I'm fine. He's been worse..I'm used to it. Are you okay? I never thought he would hurt you like that or even..." His words died off as he remembered his father's threat. He never dreamed of his father making threats at such drastic measures, but Naveen had threatened his legacy so many times that it must be making him insane. How he knew about Aurora, he didn't know but it made him uneasy.

Nita's expression darkened as she watched their father leave, "I don't care." She said stubbornly at Naveen's words. "Why didn't you tell me? About him hurting you all these years? Did you think I wouldn't want to know? That I didn't deserve to know? I could have helped you!" She added as she glanced over at him. At his other words she sighed and stood up, offering to help support him when he swayed a little on his feet. "It's nothing he hasn't done before...father didn't exactly leave me a choice when it came to my marriage." She said as calmly as she possibly could. Then again he'd never hit her as hard as he had that night. "I never thought he'd actually...that he'd threaten-" She broke off with a nauseated look on her face. She knew rape was bad and that it contained things that she still wasn't entirely sure about. "How does he know about Aurora?" She asked suddenly as she remembered their father's threat. "You have to take care of her...as long as I go through with the marriage, I should be fine." She said with a bracing smile. She stepped closer towards Naveen with a comforting smile, "Don't worry about me...I'll be fine." She said gently.

Naveen glared at her and forced himself to stand up straight. "You should care! He's going to make sure you get the worst husband now and I refuse to leave you with him. That man is going to get you killed. It's my job to protect you, that's why I never told you about this. A beating is worth it for your happiness." He frowned and picked up an overturned chair, sitting in it before he slipped off his shirt to check the damage. His hand ran over the back of his head, feeling a bit of wetness of blood from when his head smacked into the wall. "I don't know how he knows about her...but it's not good. He wasn't supposed to find out until we got married, now she's in danger because of me." He turned his attention to his shoulder, noticing a large portion of his skin purpling into a tender bruise. A sigh flew past his lips and ran a hand through his hair. "If we just run away...go to another kingdom, maybe we can actually get away from that monster..."

Nita sighed, "He was going to do that anyway." She pointed out with a frown. She watched as he took off his shirt, her eyes narrowing as she saw the growing bruise on his shoulder. "Getting hurt like this because of me...that should never have been your responsibility. I can't stand by and watch as you take the fall for my mistakes." She said quietly as she looked down at her hands. A huge part of her wanted to heal him, but she wasn't sure how he'd react. It wasn't like he knew the full extent of her abilities but he had risked so much for her. "Even if we ran away, he'd find us somehow. Remember that banker that owed father money?" She said eventually, remembering how the banker had been dragged by their father all the way to the man's house where he had savagely beaten the man to death. "He'll never leave us alone...not unless we play along with his rules. Which is why you need to look after Aurora, she needs you more then I do." She stepped closer towards Naveen then, and lightly rested one hand on his arm. "I promise I'll be ok." She continued.

Naveen frowned at her words. She was right and he knew it...but that didn't mean he was going to accept it. He grabbed his shirt, gritting his teeth as he lifted his arms to pull it back onto his body. Aurora would question what happened but she knew about his relationship with his father so he wouldn't have to explain much. "Fine...but swear to me that the moment he or your husband hits you..gods forbid that they do, that you will come find me and I will hold my end of the bargain." Naveen groaned at the thought. If anyone hurt her, he would rip out their heart. "Come on...mother will be home soon.."
