His Doll

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 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.
