How do I have to handle him in this situation?

I gently asked him what happened. He looked towards me and said mom got a cardiac arrest this morning.

"WHAT! How she is now."

So that's why he got drunk. Because of this stress,.

"She is safe, and now she is in the hospital. She will be discharged soon."

"Oh, so are we going to meet her? Yes, of course we will. I will do the packing for you and me. When we have to leave."

"Are you out of your mind? Why would I go with a low-class person like you? I will feel ashamed if you stay beside me. You know I never take you to any party, even when my friends ask me to bring you with me. I simply say she doesn't want to come. What do you think you are?"

"How.....how can you say.....say that?"

I want to see her, and I can't even leave Jeevan alone. He can't handle himself in this situation.

"Please, please take me with you. I want to see her. Please.... please."

"JUST GET OUT OF HERE."

"Please, please, Jeevan. "Why do you hate me so much?"

"NOW YOU ARE MAKING ME ANGRY."

"I am sorry. But it is my request to you."

I think I shouldn't have forced him. I should have talked to him later because he is drunk and doesn't have any control over himself. I thought that because I would soon regret saying that. I got such a hard slap from him that I fell to the ground. How can he slap me? I put my head down, and tears are coming out of my eyes.

"DON'T CRY NOW. I WARNED YOU TO GET OUT OF HERE. YOU NEVER LISTEN TO MY WARNINGS, AND LATER YOU WILL SHOW YOUR DRAMA."

He came near me and kicked me so hard that I fell back, and my head got badly hurt by the ground. I started feeling dizzy. My eyes got blurred, and I wasn't able to see properly.

Then he came back, held my hair, and pushed me to sit.

"WHY YOU MARRIED ME. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU. I GOT BAD LUCK SINCE YOU MARRIED ME. I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY BUSINESS, AND NOW MY MOM GOT A CARDIAC ARREST. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE."

I am not in the state to resist him or fight back.

In a dizzy voice, I said," How am I responsible for it? I am not doing it by myself. It's not in my control. Maybe you are not taking good care of your business. That's why you are facing problems with your business.

"NOW YOU WILL TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, HUH. YOU LOW CLASS."

The next thing he did shocked me. He opened his leather belt and hit me. I felt the sharp pain. I tried to run away, but I am so dizzy that I can't do it. I am crying, begging him to stop in my low and dizzy voice. I wasn't able to speak properly. He is continuously hitting me with a belt, slapping me, and pulling my hair. Please stop; he is totally out of his mind.

Suddenly, he stopped. He ran towards the washroom. By the voice, I got to know that he was throwing up. It gives me the chance to run away. Slowly, I stood up, walked towards the door, and went out. I went to another room and locked the door from inside so that he wasn't able to come inside.

I lay down on the bed. I am crying as hell and screaming in pain. Now it's enough.

I can't take it anymore...
