His Doll

Chapter 37- Baby Devika

Devika's p.o.v

"Ma, what are you saying? We all are your and our father's children, "I told ma who is looking very

angry and aggressive.

If the staff didn't hold her then I am sure she might have killed me by choking my neck.

The staff said holding ma tightly, "She is talking like that every day. Sometimes she yelled, sometimes

she cried, sometimes she laughed. Your mother is really a crazy woman!

Hearing the staff, Now I came back into the reality that ma has really gone mad. That's why she is

talking rubbish. Ruhi and Neel both are now terrified of seeing ma's behaviour.

I am looking at ma with a pity expression when she said wriggling on that staff's hold, " I was just a

teenage girl when your 35-year-old ugly father married me. He couldn't resist his urge to have a young

girl as his wife. Bloody paedophilic bastard!!!"

"Ma, you are not in your sense. I hope you will get well soon very fast. Please, ma doesn't lose hope.

We are praying for your well-being every day," I said to ma crying.

I know she is not in her senses that's why she is bubbling like that. Hearing me, ma is now angrier.

She said gritting her teeth, " I don't need your prayers. I don't even want to see your face. You are the

result of your father's paedophilic thirst for my body."

Her every word is hurting me but I can't blame her. She is mentally unstable. But, this thing is making

my heart bleed that she is cursing my papa. My papa was elder than her but he never hurt her or abuse

her. He loved ma a lot. Even ma also loved him. I am not understanding why she is talking like that.

She is talking like another person. Like she is possessed!

I should leave the place hurriedly, I don't know next time what rubbish word she will say about my papa.

I told Ruhi & Neel to get back in the car. Both are already horrified seeing ma's unusual behaviour.

They obliged me immediately.

When they were leaving, ma said crying, " My children, don't leave me. Come back to me!!"

They didn't listen to her and left the area. This time ma snapped at me, " You bitch!! You send away my

kids from me. I will kill you".

Saying that she tried to free herself from the staff's hand. Seeing her condition another staff came with

a chain and bind her tightly. Her condition is making me shocked. The words she is telling me, I am

feeling like another person is telling me all this, my loving and caring ma can never talk like that.

I tried to say something when she started saying with too much hurt in her voice, " My conservative

father married me off with another man just because I loved Vivek. He didn't accept Vivek because he

was an orphan. I tried to escape with Vivek but my father caught me and broke my leg for escaping.

Then he forcefully married me off with an elderly man".

Her voice is too much heavy like anytime she will cry loudly. I walk towards her and cupped her face in

my palm. Now, She is really crying. I don't know whatever she is saying is true or not but she is still my

mother. She raised me with her love and care.

I said softly caressing her cheeks," I know ma, you are not in your senses that's why you are talking

like that. Don't worry. Your Devika will arrange......"

I couldn't complete my sentence when she bit on my palm drawing blood.

With a loud scream, I freed myself from her and flinched backwards. Now, I am sure that she is really

possessed by any demon. I couldn't believe my eyes. That ma who raised me with her love and care

she is now hating me. Is this even possible!!

Her lips are now covered with my blood. Her eyes are looking red and her nose is flaring like she is any

kind of bull.

She said angrily, " I have spent many years with your ugly father. That bastard tried to impregnate me

many times but I had killed his every child in my womb".

Her every talking is making me numb. I am not understanding what should I say. Is she saying the truth

or just mumbling in madness.

I am still looking at her dumbfounded when she said fisting her hand," Somehow, you managed to

survive. Your old father forced me to give birth. I tried to kill you many times but every time you were

saved by your father".

This time hearing her I am feeling like someone has snatched the land under my feet!! How can she

say like that!!

I said crying, " Ma, don't say like that. You are my mother. You are just talking rubbish because of your

mental condition".

She isn't hearing any of my talking like she is lost in her own world. She said looking to the ceiling, "

You are alive because of Vivek and your pretty face. Vivek told me to not kill you because we can use

your pretty face in earning money."

"What!! Ma, come to your senses. What are you saying!! I yelled loudly!! Her every word is piercing

through my heart. She tried to kill me!! Is she even real!! I again said crying, " Ma, please don't say like

that. You always protected me. How can you say that you tried to harm me!!"

She isn't listening to any of my words, she is still saying like a possessed person, " But, you didn't

come to any of my use. I thought that I will hang you up with that Agnihotri and will free myself from

you. But that bastard didn't give me that chance. He snatched my company which Vivek gifted me on

our first marriage anniversary".

Her every word is feeling like a bomb for me which are blasting in my head and making me more

shocked!! I always thought that the real owner of our company is my ma. Is she even real! Is she

saying all the truth!! Hey lord!! Please give me some strength to understand all this.

Then, She said laughing, " that company was Anamika's father's Umang Ag.........heck!! I have even

forgotten his full name. That old hag didn't understand Vivek's tricks!! Vivek tricked him and gained

ownership from that old hag. My love was really an intelligent person. I am proud of him".

Saying that she started smiling like a new bride. My mother has gone really mad!!

I couldn't hear anymore and fell on the floor because of shock. I am not understanding what should I

believe. The words which she is talking about right now or that reality which I had seen always. And

Anamika! Isn't Abhinav's mother's name Anamika! And umang is Anamika's father! Abhinav always

said that the company isn't my mother's. So, was he telling all the truth!! Is the company being the only

reason behind Abhinav's hate!!

I am in too much shock that I am not even hearing the hospital staff's yelling. They are telling me to

leave but I am still sitting here on the floor.

I am trying to come out of the shock when ma started laughing more loudly and said, " I had punished

all of them who did injustice with me. I had killed my father by removing the oxygen mask from his face.

I enjoyed it when he suffered from breathing. I punished him for taking me away from my love, my

Vivek!!!"

Hearing her, I looked at her in disbelief and found satisfaction on her face.

"Ma!! I yelled loudly.

I couldn't believe my ears what I am hearing. My ma can't be a murderer. She is just saying all this

because of her illness. No, this can't be true. She is possessed. My mother can't be a murderer. No!!!

I am mumbling all those when ma started crying and laughing at a time. She is now looking like a

complete psychotic mad person!!

The asylum staff couldn't handle her anymore and started dragging her towards her cabin when she

said yelling at me, "I will kill you. I will kill everyone. I will kill your bastard husband who snatched

everything from me. I will kill that Abhinav Agnihotri. He is Anamika's son or not I don't know. But I will

kill him. He is now my only enemy. I will kill him. I will kill everyone. I will kill...kill....kill...."

She couldn't complete her sentence when she fainted. The asylum staff took her to her room for

treatment. I requested the authority to take care of her.

Why she took Abhinav's mother's name. Does she know her? What's all this!! I can't take it anymore. I

will go mad just like ma after all this shock!!

I came out of the asylum and get into the car. My mind is now blank and I am feeling numb. I am not

understanding what should I say.!! Whatever ma has told, are they true? Or, it's all about her illness.!!

The reality which I had seen my whole life are false!! Is really Ruhi and Neel Vivek uncle's children.

How it can possible!! My papa was alive when Ruhi and Neel were born. And why was she telling me

that I am unwanted? I still remember that day when she almost ran over by a truck in the process of

saving me!

That mother who always protected me from every evil is now saying that she wanted to kill me!! Can

you believe that!! She killed my grandfather! Is she for real!! No, my ma can't do all this. She is ill and

that's why she talked like rubbish. No!! My ma isn't a monster!! It's all her illness!

I am thinking all this when Neel asked me, " Di, what's ma talking about Vivek uncle? Isn't our father's

name Kamlesh Gupta?"

I am already devasted and shocked after ma's every talking. I don't want to have any conversations

about this matter.

I said with a blank tone, " Yes, we all are Kamlesh Gupta's children. You don't have to worry about all

this".

He looked at me for some time like he is studying my face. His scrutinizing eyes are making me more

uncomfortable.

He understood that I am not in any state to talk. So, he stopped talking. I am recalling ma's every word

and becoming shocked and delusional. What should I actually believe?

I am thinking about all this and becoming mad. I am putting pressure on my mind and trying to digest

every word which my ma told.

After a few moments, I felt two heads on my shoulder. It's Ruhi and Neel. Both have slept on my

shoulder. My brother and sister are suffering because of my husband. I have to do something to free

them from the beast! My poor siblings!!

By the way, Are they really Vivek uncle's children!! I still remember they were 3/4 months when papa

died and they were 4/5 year old when Vivek uncle died.

Whatever!! they are my siblings. that's the truth I knew always. I will always protect my siblings. It

doesn't matter who is their father. I am their elder sister and I will do anything for their sake.

Abhinav's p.o.v

Flashback

( "Ma, why are you so happy? And why are you decorating the whole house and cooking delicious

foods? I asked ma who is cooking Mutton biryani ( one kind of rice dish with mutton)in the kitchen.

Ma said smilingly, " Because today guests are coming. They are very important persons for me".

Saying that she fixed the biryani pot on the stove. I am holding her saree's edge and my saliva is

oozing out from my mouth sensing the biryani smell.

I am wondering who are those important persons. We don't usually have guests. Then who are they?

Who are those guests?

I am thinking all this looking at the biryani pot when I felt Avantika and Arnav are pulling my pant. Arnav

is now 6 years old, I am 10years old, Avantika is 3 years old and Arushi is just a toddler.

My siblings are telling me to play with them. I couldn't refuse them seeing their innocent face. I took

them with me to the courtyard to play.

We are playing in the courtyard of our house when a man and a woman came in front of our main gate.

I looked at them curiously and understood that the man is looking quite older than the woman.

I also noticed that the man is holding a baby girl in his arms who might have the same age as Arushi.

The baby is too much cute. She is looking at everything curiously with her doe-like eyes. She is

thrashing her baby hands everywhere and giggling like she is very happy to be here. The baby is too

much adorable. I am feeling like to snatch the baby from that man's hold and kiss her chubby cheeks.

I am busy checking out the baby girl when the woman asked me, " Is this Anamika's house?"

I said with my curious tone, " yes. But who are you? I am Anamika's elder son. May I know who you

are?"

Before she could ask me anything further when I heard my ma's excited voice. She said loudly, "

Bhabani!! Oh my God!! You are really here. Finally, we met after many years!! My friend I missed you

so much!!"

Saying that ma ran towards the woman and hugged her. Now, I am understanding that the woman's

name is Bhabani and she is my ma's childhood friend.

Ma always told us about her friend's story. She loves to tell us about her best friend Bhavani. I always

wondered who is this Bhavani whom ma is very fond of.

Now I am seeing her. She is beautiful but not more than my ma. I also understood that the man must

be bhabani aunty's husband and the baby is their child. I must say that they had a cute baby girl. I have

never seen that much cuteness in any baby girl. Not even in my sister Arushi!!

After their hugging and crying session is over. Ma along with the guests entered the house and I am

following them like a lost puppy. I intend to play with the baby. I want to hold her in my embrace.

All are now seated in the living room area and started talking about many things. Hearing their

conversation, I found that the baby's name is Devika. Such a pretty name for a pretty baby!!

I am seeing the baby with too much adoration. She is so cute and looking like a real doll.

She is looking at me with a curious and surprise expression. Suddenly, Devika started wriggling in her

father's lap and raised her hands towards me.

Does she want me to hold her?

I looked at the man who is smiling at me. The man said giving Devika to me, " Hold her for some time.

She wants to be with you".

I hold Devika and she giggled. I seated her on my lap and now she is touching my hands with her baby

hands. I am melting seeing her cute behaviour.

I pulled her cheeks and she giggled more loudly. The man said smiling, " She likes you. Normally, she

isn't that fond of strangers. But she really likes you."

I chuckled and said, " Of course, kids like me very much. I have a great experience with them as I have

3 younger siblings."

We are busy in our talking and the women are busy in their talking. After all, they met after so many

years.

I am playing with Devika and she is letting out baby voices. She is a small baby and can't talk properly

yet. I am talking with her about many things and she is responding by touching my cheeks, my nose,

my lips.

She is clutching my fingers and my hand. She is also pulling my hairs. She is very happy to be in my

embrace. Suddenly, she said with her baby voice, " aaabbbiii....aaaabbbiii.....".

Hearing her I become shocked!! What the hell! She just said my name. How did she know my name!! I

haven't said my name yet. The man I mean Devika's father said to me smilingly, " You both are liking

each other too much like you know each other for many years".

I only chuckled hearing him. I said trailing my hands-on Devika's soft hairs," Uncle, your daughter is

really a cute doll. A living doll. Can I make her my doll?"

Devika's father just laughed at my words and said nothing. I also didn't say anything to her father.

I cooed in her ear softly, " My doll. I will play with you."

Hearing me she looked at my eyes with her doe-like eyes and said, " Aaaabbbii.....")

Flashback ended

I am remembering that day when I first met Devika. I still remember how she called my name without

knowing my name. I still remember how she was looking into my eyes and giggling. She was looking so

innocent at that time. She still looks so innocent.

Today after our conversation in the garden I am feeling restless. The whole time she is roaming inside

my head. She is playing with my mind. Whenever I am remembering her smile, I am skipping my

heartbeats. What's wrong with me!! This girl will be my doom. She will not let me fulfil my revenge.

Right now, I am in my room and pacing here and there. I am waiting for her. The whole day I have

thought about her. I don't know why I am missing her. I am feeling like to kiss her and hug her. I am

feeling like to see her innocent face all day. Why I am behaving like that. !

" Because you have fallen in love with that whore's daughter, you asshole," my mind spoke and I

sighed. Maybe he is telling the truth.

By the way, where is my wife? Why she didn't return yet? It's already evening. What's taking her too

long. I called my driver and he informed me that they are in front of our house. They will be here very

soon.

Author's p.o.v

Abhinav is pacing here and there restlessly when Devika entered the room with a gloomy face. She is

too much tensed and her mind isn't working properly. Her mother's every word is ringing inside her

head and she is feeling too much vulnerable. She isn't understanding what she should believe!!

Abhinav noticed Devika and hugged her tightly. He said nuzzling his nose on her and ear, " I missed

you, my doll. Why did you take so long".?

Devika is totally frustrated and now Abhinav. She isn't understanding why Abhinav is acting so loving

suddenly. She is afraid that what if he changes suddenly and beat her again!

Devika said softly patting Abhinav back, " Can I go to change my clothes? I am feeling exhausted."

Abhinav looked at her and caressed her cheeks.

He said chuckling, " Umm!! You can. Let me help me in changing your dress".

Saying that he gave her a mischievous smile. Abhinav is less interested to know Bhavani's condition.

Because he knows that, Bhavani is surely suffering. That's why he didn't ask devika anything about

Bhabani.

On the other hand, Devika understood that he intends to have sex with her right now. But she is not in

any mood to bear him. she is totally exhausted and can't bear his animalistic bulldozer on the bed.

Before she could react, he picked her up in bridal style and walked to the washroom. He stood her up

in the middle of the washroom and left the washroom. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He came back with a beautiful purple colour saree. He helped her to freshen up and now he is draping

the saree on her.

Devika thought mentally, " Is he on weeds? Why is he acting so weird and sweet? How did he know

how to wear saree? Should I ask him?"

Without further thinking, Devika asked softly, " How did you know how to drape sarees?

Abhinav gave her another naughty smile and kissed her bare navel. Devika shivered because of

sensations. He stood up to her level giving kisses on her belly and chest.

Devika is feeling too much weird. Her mind is now diverting from her mother's talking. But, she is

feeling scared too. She is afraid of Abhinav's mood swings.

Abhinav didn't waste any time and came back to the room with Devika in his embrace. Devika doesn't

have that much courage to say no to him when he is in total mood to have her. She sighed and ready

to bear him.

After two hours when Abhinav is done, he pulled her towards his embrace and made her lay on the top

of his body.

A bed sheet is covering their body. Devika is feeling like a chicken patty who is stuck between two

burger patty.

Devika is feeling too much shy to look at him. Abhinav smiled and said giving a kiss on her collar bone,

" You are still that baby Devika whom I held in my embrace once."

Devika looked at him frowning her brows, " Did we meet before our marriage?

Abhinav is looking at her those doe-like eyes and remembered that baby devika. He said trailing his

hand on her back and touching her sensually, " We have deep relation from the very first. You don't

know. Actually you don't remember".

Devika thought rolling her eyes, " Again his puzzling words. Can't he talk normally!!

Abhinav is enjoying her curious self when she said with a barely audible voice, " Can I go to my side

and sleep?"

" No, you will sleep on top of me," Abhinav said with a stern voice. Devika is very light and small

compared to Abhinav's beastly body. He is feeling like he is holding a baby.

Devika gave him a pleading look and Abhinav gave her a don't you dare look.

Than devika asked him a question gathering every courage in her body, " Abhi, can I admit Ruhi & Neel

into school? They will remain servant in your house. But please, let them continue their study."

Abhinav is dumbfounded hearing his nickname from her mouth. He is feeling like that baby devika

called him. He is feeling writhing inside his heart and agreed to Ruhi & Neel's education.

Devika never imagined that he will agree so easily.

Devika rested her head on his chest and said, " Thank you so much for agreeing"

Abhinav didn't say anything. He is holding Devika too tightly with him like he doesn't want to let her go.

On the other hand, devika is only thinking about her mother's every talking. After sometimes she heard

Abhinav's soft snores indicating he is asleep.

But there is no sleep in Devika's eyes. Her mind is totally messed up. She is thinking about her mother.

The woman she saw today and the woman who raised her are totally different. They are like the south

pole and north pole. She isn't understanding what she should say or do.

Devika thought mentally being too much exhausted, " Ma, in which puzzle you have thrown me. How

will I get out of the puzzle!!"
