Chapter 14: The Gift

By the time I reach home, I am hungry and exhausted. I have a hearty meal and take a little nap.

I hear my phone ring. I force my eyes open to see my phone. My nipples harden as I see it’s Ravi.

“Come to the place immediately”, Ravi orders through the phone and cuts off the call.

His order sends a bolt of excitement in my body waking me up.

“Mom ... going to a friend’s house”, I shout.

“Did you finish your homework?”, she asks.

“I don’t have any”, I say.

I don’t know if it’s true. I was busy the whole time.

“Okay. But you should study anyway”, she says.

“I am going to study with the friend. We will study together “, I say.

“I know what girls do, you will study a little and gossip a bunch!...”, she says but it’s just complaining for complaining sake.

“Alright. But I trust you to study”, she adds.

I nod my head.

I remember why she trusts me so much. Until this weekend, I was a perfectly good girl. I never gave her a reason to distrust me, ever.

I feel tears bubbling up again. So I hurry back to my room, put some random books in the school back, and start walking towards the usual place.

Ravi is waiting for me. He starts his vehicle immediately after noticing me.

“Why do you have the bag?”, he asks.

“I had to tell Mom I was going to study with a friend”, I reply truthfully.

“Whatever, sit”, he says as he starts the engine.

I climb on the back seat and he immediately starts driving.

“I have the best gift for you!”, He says delightedly. “What gift?” I ask.

I feel frightened at how delighted he sounds. His delight almost always means something bad for me. Now, I feel like he has planned something really bad. But what worse can he do?

He doesn’t reply.

We reach the storehouse.

There are multiple bikes in front.

“Your gift is already here!”, he says delightedly.

I understand my gift is to be gangbanged. But they already did that in school. What more can they do?

“Wait”, I hear him say delightedly as he covers my eyes with his hands from behind, just before opening the doors.

I can’t believe Ravi is acting so playful. His gift must be really bad. I start feeling really scared.

I hear the doors spread open and then a sudden outburst of cheers. From the sound, I can guess there are at least four people in the room.

I feel better. It’s just a gangbang.

Cheers die out.

“I have found the perfect gift for you cunt...”, Ravi says and starts laughing. His friends join him too.

I really want to know what the gift is. Is it not just being gangbanged?

“ ... a very special someone...”, Ravi adds and laughs again. His friends continue laughing.

Someone? A person? Ravi’s friend? That doesn’t make sense. He has already allowed his friends to have their way with me. Maybe they are his friends outside of school. But why would it matter that much?

“ ... guess who?”, Ravi asks me.

I don’t have any idea. Should I know this person? I can’t think of anyone who would be a perfect gift for me.

“I don’t know”, I reply.

Ravi uncovers my eyes.

“Rahul!”, I scream as I see him standing in front of five of Ravi’s friends. All of Ravi’s friends are pointing their phone’s cameras at us.

Suddenly I am crying.

I have always thought of Ravi as my brother.

He can’t be here. He can’t see me like this. He can’t see them treating me this way.

It would be devastating, it would kill me if one of the people I love just sees me like this, sees me do these things.

And he loves me!

He will try to protect me. He will try to stop them. They will have to hurt him. And even if they don’t hurt him for trying to stop them, they won’t be sure that he wouldn’t tell anyone. They won’t be able to let him go.

Ravi planned to kill me on the first night. Ravi can and will hurt him.

I turn around, fold my hands and cry and beg Ravi, “Please don’t do this. Please let him go. He has not seen anything. He won’t do anything”

Ravi and his friends laugh and Ravi looks at Rahul.

“Rahul, you can go”, he says while laughing.

I turn to look at Rahul. He doesn’t move.

I turn to look at Ravi again.

“Please promise that you are not going to hurt him, please just let him go...”, I beg again.

Ravi laughs and then suddenly pushes me from behind toward Rahul.

Rahul catches me in his embrace before I fall.

“Run. Just run as fast as you ... please now...”, I whisper urgently to Rahul after moving my head near his ears.

“Shut up!”, Rahul suddenly shouts at me. I look at his face. It is filled with hate.

I don’t understand. Does he not get that his life is in danger? He can’t be angry. He can’t fight them.

“Rupa ... I left Rupa ... I left the love of my life for you ... a filthy fucking whore! ... Fuck!”, I hear him growl in rage.

Every word Rahul speaks is like a dagger to my heart. Every word makes an unhealable wound. But it’s not important now.

“Please ... I am so sorry ... I am sorry ... please ... but you have to leave ... now ... please...”, I tell him as tears fall from my eyes.

“Shut up”, Rahul shouts in anger.

I hear Ravi start to say so I turn to look at him.

“Just start already ... those two are waiting since morning...”, Ravi says pointing at two boys who didn’t have sex with me in school.

Ravi looks at them and says, “Don’t worry guys, you will go after him”.

Suddenly, I understand.

Noooooooooooooo. It can’t be!

I pull away and take a few steps away from Rahul keeping my eyes on Rahul as realization hits me.

For a few moments, I see a doubt in his face but it changes to angry resolve.

Suddenly, he grabs me and pulls me closer, squeezing my body into his, and wraps his hands tightly around my back.

“Where the fuck are you going after ruining my life!”, Rahul shouts at me.

I don’t know what to say. I start weeping. It feels like all the energy is drowned from me. I love Rahul, not in the way that he wants, but I love him. He is a good person. I have seen him play with stray dogs, genuinely take care of elderly people, and help poor people...

His parents always invite less fortunate people to every celebration that they have. A few years ago, they invited some kids from the local orphanage for his birthday party. They were given books, pens, new clothes, and some snacks to take back along with the cake and food.

Rahul started opening his gifts but then saw one of the kids from the orphanage look longingly at his favorite gift, a beautifully detailed action figure of Batman that he had begged his parents for the whole year. Rahul didn’t hesitate even a second before handing it to him and then proceeded to distribute all his gifts to the kids from the orphanage.

I don’t know what to say to one of the best people I know grabbing me tightly to do something horrible to me. I don’t know what to feel about the hardness that is pressing against my stomach.

My disgusting body has however started reacting by hardening my nipples and making me damp between the legs. It likes the horrible disgusting fact that the person who I thought to be my brother, who I love, is holding me tightly, pressing his hardness on me.

“Please don’t ... don’t do this...”, I plead with him while my tears continue to leak from my eyes.
