Mistress novel Chapter 22

Sehreyar's p.o.v

I came back to my house after leaving Meher alone in that house. She is too much upset and crying.

I am now gulping down alcohol non-stop. Maybe this alcohol will give me some peace.

I am feeling too much disturbed. Meher's every word is ringing inside my head continuously.

When she told me that she is pregnant with my baby I felt an unknown sensation inside my heart. I don't know what was that feeling.

I was feeling like to hug her and tell her that I am too much happy that she is pregnant with my child. I was feeling like to kiss her belly where my baby is staying.

Then, I remembered Haniya. I remembered how Adeel killed my sister's baby. I remembered how Haniya was mourning for her baby. And now my sister is mentally unstable.

I want to do the same with Adeel's sister so that he can understand the pain which I have gone through and my sister faced. That's why I decided to abort the baby.

" The baby is yours too. It's innocent like Haniya's baby," My subconscious reminded me.

I thought rubbing my forehead," I want to accept the baby and I want to take revenge on Adeel as well. What I should do? I am not understanding."

I am in a total dilemma. Should I keep the baby? If I keep the baby then what will be its future. I can't marry Meher and accept her as my wife. Then, society will call the baby a bastard. They will humiliate that little soul. It's better to not born than being raised as a bastard.

But, I am Sehreyar Al Seikh. I have money, power, everything. Who will dare to raise his finger on my child? I have the money. I can bear the expenses of Meher and my child. I can also keep that bitch Sajal happy by money. I can handle everything by money.

Yeah, I should keep the baby. It's my baby also. I should call Meher and tell her that she can keep the baby. Hearing the news she will be happy for sure.

I took the phone in my hand and dialled Meher's number. I am sure she is still crying for the baby.

Before I could call her I heard Dadi's voice from behind.

I turn my head and found that she is looking at me angrily. I know why she is angry. She is angry because I am having alcohol.

She came forward and took away the liquor bottle from my hand. 

" Dadi, please. Don't take it away. I need it. I am stressed," I whined like a little kid.

She still took it away and asked affectionately," What's bothering my Sahu a lot? Tell me. Is it about business?"

"It's not about business. It's about Meher," I replied and tried to take the bottle again.

Dadi asked me curiously," What happened to that little bitch? Why are you stressed about her?"

I didn't like when she called Meher a bitch. Meher isn't a bitch. She never did any type of bitchy things.

I said rubbing my forehead," Meher is pregnant."

" What?" She uttered with too much shock. I saw her wide eyes which are looking at me like I am an alien.

She asked making me look at my face," Are you out of your mind? Why did you make her pregnant? How did she become pregnant? Are you sure that the baby is yours or not? There is no guarantee of this type of girl."

" I don't know when she conceived. Of course, the baby is mine. I think you know how a woman got pregnant," I said sarcastically hearing her last question.

She just made a disgusted face and asked," What's your intention about the baby? You aren't keeping it. Are you?"

I sighed and replied," I decided to keep it. It's my baby also."

This time she became angry and said," I thought you were taking revenge. But, here you have started making family."

" I am not making family. The baby is mine also. It has my blood also. I am just fulfilling my duty," I replied sternly.

This time she said angrily," I will never let that girl give birth to your baby. She is just a mistress. Only Sajal can give birth to your baby."

" Dadi, try to understand. I know Meher is my mistress. But, the baby is not only her. It's mine as well," I replied trying hard to convince her.

She replied sternly," You will make that girl abort the baby. I don't want any kind of trouble in future between your legal children and bastard children."

" Why are you thinking so far? I am not married to Sajal yet. I am keeping the baby and it's final," I said being pissed off.

I am going to stand up when she said holding my hands," You will abort that bastard. If you don't do that then forget that you used to have a Dadi."

I closed my eyes due to frustration and yelled loudly," Dadi, please. Don't exaggerate."

" I am going to leave this house right now. I don't want to see your bastard baby. And don't you dare to contact me again," She replied angrily and started going to leave my room.

I hold her hand tightly and said unwillingly," Fine. I will abort the baby. But, please, don't tell me to stop contacting you."

" That's my boy," She replied happily and kissed my forehead.

I didn't say anything further. I am not feeling like to kill my baby. But, still, for Dadi's happiness, I will do anything.

The Next Day

Author's p.o.v

Meher is lying on the hospital bed like a motionless person wearing a hospital gown. A white blanket is covering her body up to her chest.

She is looking at the ceiling without blinking her eyes. Fat drops of tears are escaping from her eyes continuously. She is resting her hands on her belly.

Dr Asmira is checking her who has aborted her baby as per as Sehreyar's order. The doctor is feeling too much bad for this poor girl. Meher has cried too much before aborting her little baby.

The doctor is still checking Meher when Sehreyar enterd the cabin having a guilty and uncomfortable expression on his face.

Meher didn't look at him. She is just staring at the ceiling.

Sehreyar asked the doctor," How is she?"

" She is fine now. I have given her the medicine as well. She will be completely fine very soon," The doctor replied with her professional voice.

The doctor told Sehreyar about some medicine which he should give Meher to heal completely.

After telling everything to Sehreyar about Meher's medicine the doctor is now ready to leave the room.

She will just leave the room when she said turning her head towards Sehreyar," Umm, another thing, Sir. Don't intimate with her for at least 2 weeks. Let her heal first. She is too young to bear all this in one go."

Sehreyar just nodded his head in positive and then, the doctor left the cabin.

Sehreyar walked towards Meher's and looked at her face. Seeing her facial expression which is full pain, he felt something which he didn't understand. He is just staring at her face continuously.

" Are you happy, now? Meher asked fixing her gaze on the ceiling.

Sehreyar is silent. He isn't understanding what he should say. He is feeling guilty and nervous.

Meher again asked chuckling," Aren't you happy now? After killing my innocent child, after snatching my baby from me. Aren't you happy?"

" How are you feeling? Do you feeling any kind of pain? Should I call the doctor?" Sehteyar asked hesitantly to divert this abortion topic.

Hearing him Meher started laughing like he has said any kind of joke. She is mocking Sehreyar by her laughter.

Sehreyar was standing beside Meher's bed. He is feeling too much guilty and upset too. Inside his heart, he is also feeling something for the baby. After all, it was his baby also.

Meher took Sehreyar's one hand and placed it on her chest. Then, she said sobbing," I am paining here. My heart is crying for my unborn baby. Can you give me any medicine for that? Tell me. Can you?"

Sehreyar is silent. He isn't understanding what he should say. He is just standing like a statue with a blank expression on his face.

Then, Meher said hiccuping," What was my baby's fault? You hated its mother. You want to hurt its mother. But, what was my baby's fault? He/she never did any harm to anyone. You killed him/her brutally without any reason. You murderer."

Sehreyar is still silent. He is just listening to her and controlling his emotions by clenching his jaw.

Suddenly, Meher took Sehreyar's right hand and made him touch her tears. Sehreyar became startled by her actions feeling the wetness in his fingers. He is looking at her with his open eyes.

Meher said anger dripping from her voice," Are you feeling this tears? They are a mother's tears whose baby was murdered. This mother is mourning for her unborn baby."

Then, she jerked off his hand angrily and said wiping her tears," I curse you Sehreyar Al Seikh. You will never be happy in your life. You will not find the happiness of being a father. You will never find happiness in your whole life. Remember my words. This curse is a mother's curse. Remember them clearly."

Meher's every word pierced through Sehreyar's heart like arrows. He felt pain inside his heart. He couldn't tolerate her words anymore and walked towards the door to leave the room.

He came out of the room hurriedly and stood behind the door. He closed his eyes tightly. He felt wetness on his cheeks as well. He doesn't know why he is shedding tears.

He can hear Meher's ear piercing painful screaming. She is mourning like someone has taken away her soul.

Meher said screaming," I curse you. I curse you, Sehreyar Al Seikh. You are a murderer. My child is also cursing you. You will never be happy in your life. I curse you........"

After 3 days

Meher and Asif are sitting face to face like statues. Meher is looking outside where tears are soaking her cheeks. But, she isn't making any kind of sound.

Asif is sitting on the bed with a stunned expression on his face. He isn't understanding what he should say.

A few moments ago, Meher brought Asif into the farmhouse where she was living. She shared her miserable condition with Asif. She told him what happened 7 months ago. She told him how she became Sehreyar's mistress. She also told him how Sehreyar killed her unborn baby.

" How can someone be so cruel? He is a monster. I will kill him," Asif yelled with too much anger. He is fuming in rage after hearing his sister's condition.

Asif is pacing here and there and yelling that he will kill Sehreyar.

" We can't do anything? We have to be here under his shelter because we don't have anywhere to go," Meher uttered with too much difficulty.

This time Asif kneeled in front of his sister and said holding her hands," We will stay under tress. We will stay in the streets but we will never live inside this monster's pathetic house. Let's go from here. You are not alone anymore. Your brother is with you. You don't have to worry. I will do any.........."

Asif couldn't complete his sentence when Meher hugged him tightly. She replied crying," I know you will do anything for my sake. I don't have any problem living in the street. But, we can't forget that Adeel bhaiya is still in jail."

" Api, I can't see you like that. Let's go from here. I will do any kind of work to bear our expenses. I can't see you being humiliated," Asif said crying like a small child.

Meher replied wiping his tears," Don't cry, Asif. Everything will be fine."

Both brother and sister are crying when they heard the honking of car.

Asif walked towards the balcony to see who has come. Meher also followed him.

Seeing the car, Asif remembered something. He remembered that car which bumped him intentionally.

" Whose car is it? Asif asked Meher knitting his brows.

Meher replied sighing," its Sehreyar Al Seikh's car."

This time, Asif looked at Meher and said with confidence," Api, it's the same car which bumped me. Is that mean he tried to kill me?"

Saying that Asif looked at Sehreyar's car with too much shock, anger and confusion. He isn't understanding why would Sehreyar try to kill him.

Hearing him, Meher isn't surprised. She was almost confirmed that Sehreyar is behind all those incident which had happened to her family. 

She said looking at Sehreyar who is coming out of the car," I have to meet Adeel bhaiya. I need to know for his which crime we are being punished."
