His Doll

Chapter 24- A rejected daughter

Author's p.o.v

"Is this what I have taught you.!! To leave your in-laws house. Huh!! You are a total failure. I shouldn't

have given birth to a failure like you. I should have killed you when you were in my womb," Bhabani

said angrily shedding some crocodile tears to manipulate Devika.

Bhabani's every word are piercing through Devika's already wounded heart. She isn't understanding

why her mother is talking to her like that even after seeing her crying.

Devika tried to say something but her saying become stopped by Bhavani's yelling, " You are making

me ashamed. Didn't I tell you that after marriage your husband is your everything? You have to obey

him always. You have to respect him always. Huh!! Didn't I tell you?? You have to adjust with him. He is

your everything now!!

This time devika couldn't tolerate it anymore. She was already so devastated and now her mother's

words are making her totally broken. She stood up from the bed and removed the edge of her saree

which was covering her chest and Naval area. Now, a good amount of her skin is visible.

Her chest and the naval area is full of bite marks and nail marks. There are also some bad hickeys.

Moreover, her chest and the naval area are looking like someone has tried to scratch her skin.

She said to Bhabani pointing her finger towards herself," are you seeing these bruises ma? It's all given

by that animal whom you are calling me my husband. Every day I am facing all this. He is accusing me

of those crimes which I have never committed. He always talks like a total psycho. What he wants from

me i don't even understand. Ma, he is always hurting me. You can't even imagine what I am facing

every night. After seeing all this, will you still call me that I am a failure? Ma, I might have tried to adjust

if he is a normal person. But he is a complete psycho. Tell me ma, how can I live with a psycho?".

Saying all this devika burst into tears and fell on her knees. She is feeling helpless and vulnerable. She

can't believe her mother is talking to her like that. Her innocent heart is breaking every time.

Bhabani understood that it will be a futile attempt to be angry with devika. She has to manipulate her

with soft talking and brainwashing her.

So, she tried her family card again. She bent down to Devika's level and held her shoulder. She helped

her to stand up.

She covered Devika's exposed chest with Devika's saree. Then she said shedding some fake tears,"

Only you are not suffering. Do you know what your husband has done with me and your siblings?

This time devika looked at Bhabani with curiosity. She didn't know what has Abhinav done this time.

" Your husband has removed me from all positions in my company. I am working as a swiper in his

company right now. I am in so much financial problem that I have to transfer Ruhi and Neel from a

reputable school to a normal school. I am suffering to bear all the daily expenses. I am in too many

tensions," Bhabani said everything with a hurtful voice.

Devika didn't know anything about all this. So, this new information is now too much for her.

She asked with disbelief, " When did all this happen?

" It doesn't matter when it all happened. The concerning matter is why your husband is doing all this!

Do you know why he is doing all this? Bhabani asked wiping her crocodile tears.

Devika nodded her head in negative. She isn't understanding why Abhinav is after her family. As per

his demand, the company's 80% ownership is his. He has married devika than why he is after her

mother.

" Because of you, "Bhabani said pointing her finger at devika.

" Me?" devika asked shockingly.

" Yes, you. Because you couldn't satisfy your husband. You are failing as a wife. That's why he is doing

all this. Do you know how it feels when everyone humiliates me saying that I was once a

businesswoman and now a mere swiper!! Your siblings have to e read in a normal school. I can't even

properly bear daily expenses. And at this moment if you also return to your mother's house, then how

will I show my face to society. They will taunt me along with you. They will call me a failure as a mother

who didn't teach her daughter anything that how to make a marriage successful," Bhabani said crying. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

This time her crying is genuine because it's all regarding herself.

Devika is crying badly. She is now believing her mother's words that she is a failure as a wife.

On the other hand, her heart is saying not to return to that mansion. She is in total turmoil. She is

understanding her mother's every word but still, her innocent heart is saying her that," she is now

rejected by her mother. No one wants to take her back".

She can't blame her mother but still, that child devika inside her is hurt understanding that her mother is

not willing to take her back.

" If you want us alive and your siblings to live a peaceful life than try to convince your husband about

my job. Try to understand him. If he is vicious than tame him with your love. You are married for only 2

months and you decided so early that you can't live with him. Huh!! You don't know I have adjusted

myself for years with an unwanted person!! You don't know what I had faced once!!! Bhabani said to

devika with an angry voice.

Devika is listening to everything but she is only thinking that her mother has rejected her. She has no

one in this world. She is now unwanted for her mother. These thoughts are making devika more

vulnerable.

" If you return now, how will I show my face to society. Society is already humiliating me, and if you

return than I will not be able to show my face anywhere. My other kids will also face humiliation,"

Bhabani said with a concerning tone. She is only concerned about herself and her other kids.

" Ma, if they are your children than I am also your daughter. Show some mercy on me. This society will

always talk behind. It's their disgusting job. But ma, don't send me to him. I can't live with an insane

person. I am your daughter..please....... " Devika said pleading.

She couldn't complete her sentence when Bhavani said," And I am your mother. I have held you in my

womb for 9 months. I have raised you by giving all the love and care. And you are returning those like

this!! If you have a single ounce of love and care for us than return to your real home. That mansion is

now your house. This Gupta house will always remain your home. You can visit anytime. But, your

permanent house is the Agnihotri mansion. You have to live there. Try to understand," Bhabani said

with a disappointing tone. She is shedding crocodile tears to manipulate devika.

And devika is again trapped. She is now blaming herself that because of her, her family is suffering.

Her mother is right. She should adjust. She should try to understand Abhinav. It's only two months. She

shouldn't give up so easily.

But her heart snapped at her," How can you again return to that house? That man doesn't give any

value to you. He doesn't respect you, love you. Then how can you think about returning?"

Her mind said," Than what about your ma. How can you be so selfish?? At least for themselves, go

back to your husband"

Her whole mind and heart are battling what she should do.

Bhabani is brainwashing her when Ruhi came running. Devika and Bhavani looked at her with

questioning eyes.

Ruhi informed," Di( sister), Jiju( brother-in-law) is here. He is asking for you."

Listening to her, devika became stiffed in her place. She is clutching Bhabani's saree tightly. She is

totally unwilling to go back. But Bhavani is determined to send her back.

She held Devika's one hand and started dragging her towards the living room. Devika is trying very

hard to not go in front of Abhinav. But Bhabani dragged her quickly.

They entered the living room and saw Abhinav is sitting on the couch like a king.

His expression is impassive. His hands are clenched in fists. He is looking at devika with cold eyes.

Anger is visible in his eyes. Seeing him, devika is hiding behind her mother like a small kid. She is

looking like a small child who is afraid of a scary teacher.

Bhabani said " Mr Agnihotri, you are here. At least you should...... "

" Give back my wife right now. I am a busy person. I don't have any time for unnecessary drama,"

Saying that Abhinav cut off Bhabani's words in the middle.

Bhabani felt embarrassed. She is feeling like to bang Abhinav's head but composed herself as she is

not in power here.

" Of course. Take your wife with you. After all, she is now your responsibility," saying that Bhabani tried

to push devika in front of Abhinav.

But devika isn't letting her saree's edge go. She doesn't want to return. She is understanding that she

has to leave her mother but her little heart isn't ready to leave her mother.

This drama continued for almost 5 minutes. Abhinav is looking at all this with too much anger and

irritation.

After some time Abhinav's patience level broke down and he stood up from the couch.

He marched towards devika and held her hand tightly and started dragging her towards the main door.

Devika understood that it's time for her to return to that hell. But her heart isn't ready to go back. So,

she said crying," Ma, save me... Please ma. I don't want to leave..Ma...."

Seeing Devika's crying her siblings are also crying. On the other hand, Bhabani is also fake crying. She

is acting like she is really hurt seeing Devika's condition and she is helpless that she couldn't take her

back.

Abhinav is still dragging Devika. She is thrashing her hands and feet like a child to stop Abhinav from

dragging.

Bhabani is shedding fake tears for Devika.

She said crying," try to adjust, dear. Your ma loves you a lot. For ma's sake, please try to adjust".

Listening to her Devika cried loudly and said, " I love you too, ma. I will not disappoint you this time. If I

have to give my life for you, I will happily do that".

Devika said all this genuinely but somehow she is hurt by her mother's behaviour that she is unwilling

to take her back.

Devika's p.o.v

Ma is right. I am a failure as a daughter and as a wife. Because of me, she is doing that odd job. My

siblings are studying in a normal school. Everything happened because of me.

I couldn't satisfy my husband. That's why he is angry with me and unleashing his anger on my family.

He can do whatever he wants to do with me. But I will not let him humiliate my family.

And ma, I understood her situation but shouldn't she at least hug me and console me? Today she

behaved like a completely new person. Shouldn't she at least tell me these words, " If you don't want to

go, then don't go"?

I am feeling like an orphan. Even after having a mother, I am feeling like an orphan. I am a failure.

There is no one for me. Even my mother is unwilling to take me back. I know she has to think about

everything. But, I am still her daughter. Couldn't she at least hold me to her for a few days!!

Ma, whatever you do to me. I will always love you. Thinking all this my tears are also dried down. My

eyes are also hurting because of crying hard. I won't cry anymore. If he kills me than it will be the best

option.

Right now, he is dragging me towards the car. His hold on my hand is too tight that it will leave a bruise

for sure.

Only looking at his face, I can sense how much angry he is. I know tonight he will show me hell. And

this time if he kills me then I will be glad. I will be freed from all this. From all the responsibilities, from

being a good daughter, from being a good wife.

After reaching the car, he opened the door viciously and threw me on the back seat and he also got

back into the car.

He ordered the driver to start the car and the driver obliged him. Before leaving I have seen a glimpse

of my family who is crying. Because of me, they are crying. I will never be the reason for their crying

anymore. I will adjust. Even if he kills me, I will adjust!!!

I will never return to my house. I can't be a black spot on my ma's reputation. I will adjust with him!

Author's p.o.v

Devika is blaming herself for her mother's condition. She is hurt by everybody's side.

Her mother didn't take her back. Her husband doesn't love her. He only used her. Her dreams of being

a successful person is now shattered. She has nothing.

She is completely blank from inside now. This thought has made her a stone. She isn't feeling anything

anymore.

She is sitting beside Abhinav and looking outside through the window. On the other hand, Abhinav is

looking at her with full rage. He is thinking about how to punish her.

He held devika's back neck and made her look into his eyes. He said dangerously," You dare to come

out from the mansion without my permission. Huh!! You have become so brave. Tonight I will punish

you so hard that you will not dare to do all this again."

Hearing him devika didn't say anything. She is looking at him with a blank expression. Her eyes are

looking dead. Face is tear-stained and She isn't even afraid.

Seeing her Abhinav become confused for a few seconds. He couldn't find any fear or emotion in her

eyes. Her eyes are only showing blankness. There is no fear, no anger, no reaction like a dead body's

eyes.

Her attitude is now bothering Abhinav. He isn't understanding what happened to her that she is looking

at him like that. She isn't even screaming at him. She isn't crying anymore.

After reaching to the mansion, Abhinav got down from the car along with devika. He is dragging her

towards the mansion with too much rage.

When he was passing the living room area Ruhani ma saw them and understood that Abhinav has

again taken devika back.

Looking at him she understood that devika is going to be beaten by Abhinav. She tried to stop Abhinav

but again Abhinav ignored her. But one thing is surprising her that devika isn't resisting. Like an

obedient child, she is going with Abhinav.

After reaching to their room Abhinav pushed devika on the floor and she fell on her stomach on the

floor. She felt pain in her stomach but remain silent. She sat back and looked at Abhinav with a dead

expression.

Abhinav is now opening his belt saying," Tonight I will beat your feet so much that you will forget to

even walk let alone go out without my permission"...

Listening to him devika started laughing hysterically. She is laughing loudly like a mad person. But too

much hurt is visible on her face. Seeing her behaviour Abhinav become startled. He is looking at her

with his confused eyes.

After laughing for a few moments devika said," don't worry. I will never again escape from here. After

escaping, where will I go? I have no place to go. Even my mother also rejected me. If you want to beat

me then beat me. My mental pain is thousand percent strong than my physical pain. If you kill me than

it will be the best option.".

Listening to her Abhinav become dumbfounded. He never expected that devika will talk like that.

Moreover looking at Devika's hurtful eyes, he felt an unknown pain in his heart. Other days, her tears

don't bother him.

But, he doesn't know why her tear is bothering him today. He is looking at her with surprised eyes. Next

moment devika did something which Abhinav never thought in his mind.

She removed her saree showing her exposed naval.

She said," If you want to fuck me, you can. I am now used to your hard fucking. I am now used to your

humiliation. I am now used to your beating. Do one thing, kill me in one go and free myself from this

misery and also free yourself from a useless wife who can't even feed you properly," saying that devika

again laughed like a madwoman.

Devika's every word is doing something in his heart. He looked at the marks on her body which he had

given her. He felt guilty. Looking at her eyes he is feeling an unknown hurt.

Without saying or doing anything he left the room. After his leaving, devika broke down into too much

crying.

She sat on the floor and cried out loudly, " why!! Why!! God!! I can't tolerate anymore. Just take me to

you!!"

She is now crying badly holding one corner of the bed".

On the other hand, Abhinav is again in his piano room. He is again playing the same tune. But today

his memory isn't occupied by his childhood.

His mind is occupied by devika. Her crying face, her hopeless dead eyes are coming into his mind. He

is feeling hurt. He isn't understanding why he is hurt. Why her crying is affecting him too much. Why he

is feeling guilty. He is thinking all this and the pressure on his finger are becoming high.

His mind is also now feeling too much pressure. At last, he stopped playing and screamed loudly,"

Devika".....

After spending some time in his piano room Abhinav returned to his room and saw devika is sleeping

on the floor in an awkward position. Her saree isn't in her body and a good amount of her skin is now

visible.

Seeing her injured body Abhinav again felt guilty. He isn't understanding himself why he is feeling hurt.

He walked towards devika and picked her up in bridal style and laid down her on the bed. He covered

herself with a thin blanket.

He looked at her face carefully. Her fair pink cheeks are now totally red because of crying. Tear stains

are visible on those cheeks. Her pink lips are parted and she is breathing softly. He is looking at her

with different emotions in his eyes.

Then he did something which he never thought in his life that he will do. He kissed her forehead softly.

Devika let out a small sound like a baby.

Abhinav didn't stay here anymore. He walked out of his room and went to his mother's room for some

peace.

Meanwhile at Gupta House

Bhabani is standing in front of the mirror and crying. She is crying badly like any of her precious thing

has left her. Suddenly her face expression changed from crying to laughing.

She said looking at the mirror laughing," You should be in Bollywood. After all you acted so good".

Bhabani is complimenting herself for her acting skill. She has again fooled devika and sent her back

with Abhinav. She knew that devika will surely try to convince Abhinav about her job and company.

Moreover, she is happy that she has brainwashed devika so much that, devika will never ever think

about returning to her house.

She said laughing," This bitch daughter of mine is like a super glue who isn't leaving my ass. I should

have killed her with her dearest papa. But, my motherly instinct never gave me that courage to kill her

after all she is also my blood!!

Saying that she started singing like a creep," Tu hi mera sab kuch, tu hi mera pyaar. Tere bin kaishye

jina, tere bin kaishye marna!!!( you are my everything, you are my love. Without you how can I live and

how can I die)
