Rafiq took Zainab to a typical restaurant of the community. The area had a strange pungent smell which a normal person cannot inhale and if a normal person visits the area then the rotton smell in the atmosphere is so contagious that he could not have food for a few days.
Smell of rotten meat surrounded the atmosphere... There was too much din and bustle and no one was following any road discipline. The roadsides were captured by illegal hawkers. There was filth all around and Zainab felt sick and uncomfortable.
She saw ladies in the same tent in which she was caged and they were walking like zombies being slaves to their master ( Husband). They had no right to talk or speak in public just like her. None of the women were alone as it was a taboo. In some cases one man was rearing up to four women.
It was a scary scene. However, Rafiq took her to the best restaurant in that area. The amenities of the restaurant looked good and it was comparatively much cleaner than the shops in the vicinity.
Rafiq was a known person in the restaurant and the owner himself came up and greeted him and he was in high praise for him. He guided Rafiq and Zainab to a private cabin which was well decorated and neat and clean.
The waiter rushed to cater to this VIP guest. Rafiq was hungry and he ordered a lot of non vegetarian stuff. He did not ask Zainab her food choice. Zainab felt bad but did not say anything. He ordered Zainab to remove the tent wrapping to which she felt very happy. She was feeling very uncomfortable with being fully covered and she felt relieved to remove the extra covering.
Rafiq : I must say you are very beautiful. I had eyes on you from the age of six and was desperate for you when you reached the age of nine..
But I am a lucky man... I got you at the ripe age of 20 years and that too as a virgin.. Wow ! What a wonderful experience to take your virginity... You were so tight...
Zainab felt embarrassed at Rafiq's comment but stayed silent.
Rafiq : I must say that I have never seen such beautiful breasts in my life along with your perfect pink cunt and your perfect round ass. You navel is so deep and the sweat accumulated inside it tasted like nectar...
Today I am seriously seeing your eyes and your face. You are a damn beautiful girl and lovely deep black eyes and the perfect juicy lips.. Tonight I will surely suck it dry...
He started running his fingers on Zainag's lips and moved his hands on her cheeks.
He instructed Zainab to open her mouth , take his fingers inside her mouth and lick his fingers. Zainag was not in the mood but she obeyed her husband and opened her lips and Rafiq shoved his fingers inside her mouth and told her to suck his fingers...
Both of them felt nice and Rafiq became excited...
He took out his fingers and lowered his hands to Zainab's breasts and started playing with them,
Zainab signaled to stop this as they were in a public place and the waiter can come any time with the food...
To Zainag's relief the waiter came in without a knock and started serving the food. It was all carcass of dead animals who were painfully slaughtered for satisfying the taste buds of selfish, cruel human beings..
Zainab : I do not eat non veg. I am a vegetarian.
Rafiq : What the hell !! There is nothing called vegetarian in my dictionary. Animals are made for us and killed to satisfy our lust for food. These animals who serve us with their life are rewarded in heaven so that when we go to heaven we will again slaughter and consume them,,
Zainab knew that Rafiq is a horrible bigot with no feelings for women as well as animals..
Her thoughts went back to the good times she had with Mr. Mehta who respected animals. He regularly fed street dogs, cows , cats and even crows and eagles.. He said that the resources of this Earth are for all species and not limited only to humans who unconditionally have proclaimed themselves as a superior race fit for exploiting sentient beings who have no voice.
Rafiq : Darling have the non veg, It will give you the much needed heat which I will take out tonight... For fun you have to feel hot and excited. with all your private parts craving for fun and sex...
Zainab felt that she can no longer argue with this man with such decadent. rustic, regressive and dilapidated thinking. Sex and Submission of others are the only things this man things all the while and he is incorrigible..
She felt sad and option less.
Rafiq : Darling !! we will have food from the same plate. Let our salivas meet and made the meat more palatable.
Saying this he shoved a big piece of meat in her mouth.
Zainab coughed and took the meat out along with a large portion of her saliva.
Rafiq grabbedthe piece and gobbled it down.
Zainab was awe stricken. This man is mad but is very different. She also felt tinge in her body...
After all she is just 20 years with her libido oozing with excitement for sex. At this young age she has been deflowered by her RAPIST who is now her husband. Also it is true that he has married her legally in front of the society and she is now his legally wedded wife.
This old hog is just spending time with his wife after marrying her. Zainab felt that by this logic this man is not wrong and unjustified. As a married man, she can talk to his wife in a lewd manner... At least with all the negatives in him , he is not a hypocrite who has something in their heart and something else on their tongue..
As his legally wedded wife.. she cannot stop him from gazing at her private parts, touching them or playing and using them for intercourse... Any court of law will not listen to such logic...
She thought that in the current situation "Her rape in inevitable at the hands of Rafiq and so when Rape becomes inevitable then better Enjoy it..
Rafiq was enjoying the Chicken leg and he told Zainab to have a bit from the same piece..
Zainab had become tired in the labyrinth of logic and rationality and so she put a cap on her thinking and after closing her eyes opened her mouth and Rafiq shoved the chicken piece in her mouth...
She felt odd and sick and wanted to puke but she somehow gulped it down... Like wise both of them completed the food and after lots of positive feedback from Rafiq to the restaurant owner... they finally left for home..
Zainab was thinking that now she is the legal wife of this unethical man and as his wife. it is her duty to keep her man happy and attracted toward her..
Also she felt that her libido also craves for a lot of sex and once she is at the helm of sexual heat... she needs a man like Rafiq to satiate her needs..
She also felt that the pain her her private parts have gone away and the pain has been replaced with sexual scratch which at the moment Rafiq can fulfil.
She knew that Sadia is fighting life and death in the hospital and if she runs away from this hell then she will die of grief ...
Doctors and close relatives have been assuring Sadia that once she recovers and comes back home... Zainab and Ashraf would re marry and have a good life.. Sadia was recovering with this assurance..
At this moment , she cannot dump Sadia and go. She has an emotional connect with Sadia.. She was just like her mother who cleaned her bed sheets when she was an infant... changed her napkins,, told her stories of brave kings and queens which helped her to sleep in the night. She remembered that till recently also a few years back when she was 18 years also ... Sadia told her stories and fables... Sadia has taught her cooking, stiching clothes and other household chores..She considered her as mother figure from her kindergarten days and she cannot be the reason of tension when Sadia is fighting for her life in the hospital..
So Zainab thought that at this moment she has to stay with Rafiq and so it makes sense to make his happy and in return be happy too..
Thinking about this she wrapped her hands around Rafiq and rested her head on his strong broad shoulders as a gesture of expressing her willingness and in a way justifying his entry in her life...
Rafiq felt proud when he saw people in submission to him but he too was happy with the time spent with Zainab and he was becoming infected with her contagious beauty and youth...
