Ending #6 [Mainline]

You, struggling to stand, feel the weight of shame and helplessness. You look at Radha, whose expression is a mix of fear and sorrow. And finally manage to speak, your voice hoarse. "I'm sorry, Radha. I tried..."

Radha, tears streaming down her face, can only nod silently. The trauma of the incident hangs heavily between you two. Radha quickly dresses up and leaves the toilet stall with a mix sense of sympathy and disgust for you. Slowly you too gather yourself and leave the office, tremblingly as you still can't walk properly.

In the following days, nothing is the same. The incident leaves an indelible mark on both of you. Radha, initially terrified, becomes distant and withdrawn. Unnikrishnan's presence in the office becomes more oppressive. Radha's interactions with him also change as she eventually realises the truth behind him being the mightiest of the lions and his alpha man qualities. You notice her spending more time with him. The power dynamic shifts, and you can't escape the turmoil of seeing them together.

To add to the burn and humiliate you more, Unnikrishnan often calls you to his cabin, just for you to open the doors and see Radha getting nailed in full force by him on the floor, against the glass walls, over the table or as if to reiterate the pain of that night - fucking her ass in full swing. The psychological toll is immense, and the once vibrant office atmosphere becomes a constant reminder of the incident.

In the end, the events of that night change the course of your relationships and lives. The power dynamics, the trauma, and the unresolved emotions linger, shaping your experiences in profound and lasting ways not just mentally but physically as well as you could no longer get erect. You try counselling, medicine and every way possible but with no luck. Every night as you lie down lonely on the bed in you home, Unnikrishnan's words that day keep floating in your head repeatedly.

"... And more than that, by the end of this I will make sure that, the lion will no longer be a lion anymore."

The end.
