His Doll novel Chapter 57

Abhinav's p.o.v

" Bhai, sign the papers. Just divorce her. I never thought that I am helping the daughter of my mother's murderer," Arnav said angrily giving me the papers.

He came to meet me at the jail and told me to sign the divorce papers. He is very devastated after hearing our mother's reason of death and our father's identity.

I took the paper from his hand and tore it down into pieces and threw it on his face.

I said angrily," Fuck these papers. I will never give up on my Devika and my children".

" You did the right thing. I never thought that I am supporting my mother's murderer's daughter. If I knew the truth then I might have never helped her," Arnav said with a hurtful yet angry voice.

No sooner had he told those words than my palm landed on his face.

I said grabbing his collar," She is also a victim of her mother's schemes. Don't blame her. I have already damaged her unknowingly. She was innocent"

This time he held my shoulder and said shaking me," Bhai, come into your senses, she doesn't love you. You will find a far better person than her. After coming out of jail, you can marry another woman who will not be a murderer's daughter. Let her go with her children. You don't need her."

Hearing him, my blood gets boiled and I slapped him hard on his face again. How dare he tell me to marry another woman! I only love my Devika.

I warned him resting my hand on his shoulder," Don't you dare to tell me what I should do. I will never let her go. She is the mother of my children. She is mine. She is my wife."

He is going to open his mouth again when I said sternly," Until I am in jail, always keep your watch on her. Though I have given her enough property to lead her life peacefully, make sure that she doesn't face any kind of difficulty."

" I used to be her friend. Not anymore. Nor I like her nor I hate her. I just can not accept a murderer's daughter as my bhabhi(sister-in-law). I don't give any shit about her. But, I will keep my watch on your children. After all, I am their uncle" Arnav said and smiled at me.

" Do as I say. Her mother deceived her.  It's not her......" I couldn't complete my sentence when he said giving me a sinister smile," Bhai, that bitch is suffering. I can't wait for that day when we will kill her".

" shh..... Don't say all this here. Bhabani Gupta will get what she deserves. You can't even imagine what I am planning for her. And Don't blame my wife. If I knew that bhabani didn't just do injustice with my family, she also did injustice with Devika and Kamlesh uncle then I might have never hurt Devika," I said pulling my hairs. I am regretting whatever I have done with Devika.

" Bhai, I am sorry for going against you. please, forgive me," Arnav said holding my hands.

I said patting his head," You are still that little Arnav who used to break my toys and then apologise to not punish you. Hmm.!! How many times you will apologise? I have already forgiven you. Don't say sorry. I deserve all this for hurting an innocent girl like Devika. You did the right thing. Forgive me for misunderstanding you"

This time he hugged me and said crying," No, bhai. You don't deserve all this. You have tolerated enough. Thank you that you have told me everything about our childhood. The cruelty you have faced, if I were you then I might have not survived. I am lucky that I have a brother like you. Don't ask for forgiveness. I should ask for your forgiveness for going against my brother. You were always right."

I wiped his tears and said joining our forehead," If you love your brother then take care of Devika and my children until I return."

" I don't know about Devika but I will keep my watch on your children. Your children are also my children. Those 4 small bunnies are a bundle of joys," He said smiling.

I asked him seriously," You are saying that Devika is our mother's murderer's daughter. Do you know about your Apeksha's identity?

Yes, I know about Apeksha and Arnav's relationship. Arnav told me that he met Apeksha when he went to a Doctor's conference in Mumbai. She was in charge of security there. They both fell in love there and now wants to marry each other.

" What do you mean?" He asked me frowning his brows

I said taking a deep breath," She is Bhabani's elder daughter. She is Kamlesh uncle's elder daughter."

I can see his shocked expression. He said surprisingly," That means we both have loved our mother's murderer's daughters!!"

I said resting my right hand on his left shoulder,"  The mistakes I have done with Devika, don't repeat those mistakes with Apeksha. Promise me."

He wasn't believing my words about Apeksha. I told him that I heard Devika and Apeksha's conversation and that's when I come to know that Apeksha is Bhabani's elder daughter.

" That woman is really something. My hand is itching to kill her right now," Arnav said fisting his palms.

I said giving a sinister smile at him," Do what I am telling you to do with that woman. Remember one thing that she shouldn't die. If she refuses to eat then feed her forcefully. Torture her and then treat her. Continue all this until I return. She will die by my hands"

He nodded his head and going to say something when a constable came and informed him that the meeting time is over.

" Take care bhai. Take medicines regularly. Don't worry about your children. I will inform you everything about them," He said and hugged me tightly.

I patted his back and said smiling," Take care of Arushi and Avantika always. After me, you are their guardian. Take care of Ruhani ma also. She is always tensed about me".

He assured me that he will handle everything and left the jail. I am feeling a little bit relaxed after having my brother's support. I have done the right thing by telling him everything.

Flashback

( Seeing Bhabani Gupta I remembered everything about my present and past. I remembered how I spent my time in the mental hospital and how Devika took care of mine.

After Bhabani's trial on the court, we all came back to our home. I couldn't meet my eyes with Devika because I am ashamed of myself. I thought that by hurting Devika I am hurting her mother. But, I was wrong. That woman never cared for Devika.

Now, I am sitting in my study room and thinking about how to apologise to Devika when an angry Arnav entered my room. He is totally shocked after hearing Bhabani's wrongdoings towards my family.

Before I could say something he said angrily," Today you have to tell me everything about our childhood, our mother, our father and the relation between Bhabani Gupta and our mother."

" You don't have to know anything. Just for......" I couldn't complete my sentence when he banged his hands on my table and yelled," Enough, bhai. I am not a child anymore. You have to tell me everything. I am your brother."

Looking at his eyes I become surprised. There is no fear for me in his eyes. I can only see anger and loath in his eyes. I understood that today he will not leave me until I tell him every truth.

I sighed and started saying everything about our family.

After hearing everything he fell on the nearby couch with utter shock. He has lost his words. I said sitting beside him," That woman is the reason for our mother's misery."

Arnav isn't saying anything. He is completely silent. After some time he opened his mouth and said, "Bhai, I want to kill that woman"

"What? Whom are you talking about?" I asked him being surprised. He never talked like that. He was always a soft-hearted person. But, right now he is looking like he will kill anyone at any time.

" Bhabani Gupta. I want to kill her. Lifetime imprisonment is small punishment for her crimes," He said having a dead expression.

I tried to convince him that I will handle everything and will give a cruel death to Bhabani but he is like a stubborn kid. He said that whatever I am going to do he will help me.

And then we both brothers planned everything to kill Bhabani Gupta. For this, we have to take her out from the central jail.

As I am still in police custody so two constables are always keeping their watch on me so that I can not escape.

Arnav gave them money to tell us everything about central jail and how to enter there. We also bought an inspector by using money to help us. They agreed to help us and promised that they will keep their mouth shut.

That inspector created the fire accident incident and took out Bhabani Gupta from jail. And that's when I took her to my museum where her beloved Vivek's heart was kept.

I ordered Omkara to remove all the body parts because seeing those parts my brother can freak out.

Bhabani Gupta was unconscious when we take her there. After getting back her senses she became shocked seeing me and my brother.

We were thinking to kill her immediately but first, we wanted to torture her. That night We tortured her by throwing her into cold water for hours. We didn't let her die.

Every day the level of torture will increase. After torturing her to our heart's content we will kill her. Before I could torture her more  my dear wife sent me into jail.)

Flashback ended

I am now sitting on the jail floor and regretting my every action towards Devika. She has endured my all wrongdoings for her family. For her mother, she agreed to marry a beast like me. For her mother, she tolerated my every torture and that mother tried to sell her to the brothel. What kind of woman is she!!

" you can easily escape from the jail and be with devika but you are stubborn," the devil inside me reminded me.

I said with a frustrated voice," You are still here. Just leave my head."

" I will never leave you because I want to be with Devika and those 4 little bunnies," He said excitedly.

" Asshole, if you again provoke me to hurt devika then I will commit suicide before hurting her," I threatened him pulling my hair.

He said," No, I will never provoke you to hurt devika anymore. I love her. We love her."

I angrily replied," Just shut up. Why are you here now? I am not torturing anyone right now"

" I can come whenever I want because I am you." He said and I just pull my hairs to save myself from his bubbling.

I am now thinking about Devika and my children. I am already missing them. When I will come out of jail my children will be able to talk and walk. They will be 2 years then. I can't wait to meet them. Will they call me papa? Will Devika tell them about their father!

I will spend my two years in jail without seeing Devika and my children. I deserve this. I don't know how will I earn Devika's forgiveness. Will she ever forgive me?

I know Devika will surely try to run away from me but she doesn't know that she can never escape from me. 

After few months

Devika's p.o.v

" Say, Mamma," I said to Devansh who is busy crawling on the bed with his siblings.

" pa.....ppa...pa.," Devansh said and I closed my eyes in frustration. Finally, my Devansh has also taken his first word and it's "papa".

My every kid's first word was "Papa". He is not here but still, my children are their father's fan.

It's been months since my children have started taking some words and crawling on the bed.

It's really hard to handle 4 children and study at a time. I have to take care of my siblings also. I wanted to appoint a nanny but stopped because I won't like it if another person tries to touch my kids. I am obsessed with my children. Now, I am always busy in life raising my children and taking care of my siblings.

Apeksha Di always comes to my house to see me and my children. Even after being a busy police officer, she is always there for me. She always supports me. I am lucky to have a sister like her.

I don't have to worry about finance because the properties which Abhinav has given me are huge. Huge enough to lead a peaceful life.

Abhinav didn't sign the divorce paper till now. Everyone has tried their best to make him understand that I don't want to remain his wife anymore but this man is stubborn as hell. He refused to sign the divorce paper.

I don't know what will I do when he will return after 2 years. If he tries to snatch my children then I will not hesitate to strangle him! I will not give my children to him.

On the other hand, These Agnihotri siblings are weird. They used to behave with me nicely but after knowing my mother's truth they have started giving me cold shoulder. Only Ruhani ma is still behaving nicely with me.

Among the Agnihotri siblings, Arnav is very rude. He comes to know that Apeksha Di is Bhabani Gupta's daughter and he has broken up with her. I don't understand how can a daughter be responsible for her mother's sins!! These Agnihotri brothers are really psychos.

They always come to my house to meet my children. I have returned their every favour by helping their brother. I wanted to cut my all ties with them but I can not. They always come to my house with Ruhani ma to meet my children. Because of Ruhani ma, I don't say anything to them. Moreover, they never harm my children. They always care for my children. But, My relationship with them has become sour.

And my mother!! It's been months since she is missing. Where did she go? How she escaped nobody knows. I can't stop caring about her even after knowing her heinous crimes. Whenever I tried to hate her the sentence comes into my mind that she is my mother who has given birth to me! She has held me in her womb for nine months!

I am now worried about my future. Time will fly by and Abhinav will come out from jail. I don't want that man again in my life. The obsession I have seen in his eyes is dangerous. The determination I have seen in his eyes are toxic.

His promise is always ringing inside my head every time. Will I be able to get rid of him ever!
