His Doll novel Chapter 12

Warning- Harsh scene ahead.

Devika's p.o.v

The whole day of mine went preparing his food, washing his clothes and cleaning his room.

He didn't come for lunch but he has ordered his maids that I have to eat boiled meat without any spices and obviously sitting in that place where I have had my breakfast.

Though he wasn't here at lunchtime but his siblings were here. They told me to sit on the chair but I know if he comes to know that I have sat on the chair than he will punish everyone.

I have seen everyone's face when they talk with him. All are scared of him, his anger. I don't want anyone to unnecessarily get punished because of me.

He wanted me to be his slave. And I am becoming his slave. But I am not understanding why he is doing all this!! What's his motive!  What does he want from me.! Should I ask someone? I am not understanding what should I do!

I am missing ma a lot. I want to tell her everything. That beast has snatched my phone and also ordered everyone to not give me any phone. He also prohibited me from using the landline. I am suffocating here. It's just one day in this house and I am already feeling suffocated. I don't know how will I survive here. I want to talk with ma. I want to tell her how he is treating me. Remembering her, my eyes become watered.

"Ma, I want to hug you. I want to keep my head on your lap. I want to eat from your hands" I am mumbling these words.

" what if I ask Arushi about his brother? Why he is so cruel!! Yes, I should ask her. Maybe she knows about her brother's motive. I didn't waste any time and walked towards Arushi's room.

I knocked at her door and she told me to come in. I entered and seeing me she gave me a big smile. I just slightly smiled. She said softly," Bhabi(sister-in-law), come here. Seat beside me".

Hearing the word bhabi I am feeling embarrassed. She is the same age as me. It's awkward for me to hear bhabi from her. "

"Please, call me by my name," I said to her lowering my eyes.

She chuckled and said," ok, my dear friend devika. But I want to apologise to you for Bhai's behaviour. He is always ruthless but he is doing extremely with you," she said with sadness. I can see the concern in her eyes.

" it's ok Arushi. It's not your fault. Umm...can I ask you something?  I asked her hesitantly.

" of course. Tell me what do you want to know? She said.

I licked my dry lips and prepared myself to ask her about her brother. " umm...do you know why your brother hate me that much? I asked her.

She blinked her eyes a few times like she wasn't expecting this question. She stared at me for sometimes and said," I am sorry devika. To be honest,  I don't understand bhai(brother) that much. He has totally bipolar nature. His mood swings are one of those things which we always want to avoid. I really don't know why bhai is so cruel towards you. I am sorry"

I sighed. She obviously doesn't know about her brother's intention. " it's ok". I said with a low voice.

" umm, Devika don't be upset. I am here for you. From tomorrow we will go to  College together " Arushi said with excitement.

Listening to her I remembered about my studies. I was so devastated that I almost forget that I am a student studying in a college.

" it will be fun," I said to her. But I am afraid, what if he stops my education. No, at least I will fight for my studies. My papa had seen big dreams about me. I have to fulfil his wish. Tonight I will talk to him about my studies. I am determined now. He can't stop my education. I will not back off about my studies.

And then Arushi and I talked for a few times about her family, about her relatives. But, surprisingly she doesn't know much about her parents and relatives. She only said about her siblings. But didn't say much about her father and mother. I wanted to ask her but then jerked off the idea of asking her. Maybe there is some reason and that's why she isn't telling me.

We are talking when Arnav entered the room. He looked at me with a sad expression. He said," Devika, come with me. I have some business with you.

I know which business he is talking about. It's obviously about birth control shots. Arushi also understood the fact. We all looked at each other awkwardly. Then I stood up from my seat and told," Let's go".

Then Arnav and I returned to my room. I mean that beast's room. We both sat down on the couch and Arnav took out an injection from his bag. He said without looking at my eyes," it's a three-month birth control shot. So, you are safe from pregnancy for three months".

I am not saying anything because I am feeling embarrassed. I am looking at the wall and thinking," Should I ask him about his brother. Maybe he knows about his brother's motive."

I didn't think anything further and asked him," Do your brother have any problem with me?

He looked at me like I am asking him for his kidneys. He curtly replied, " I don't know".

Saying that he stood up from his seat and walked towards the door to leave the room. But before leaving the room he turned at me and said," Do whatever bhai tell you to do. Don't make him angry. And another thing, I am sorry".

Saying that he left the room. I am really not understanding what's happening. This family is weird. And my husband is totally insane.

Author's p.o.v

It's night time. Devika is lying on the floor. Abhinav hasn't returned yet and Devika isn't waiting for him either. She is thinking only one thing and that thing is "why." why Abhinav is punishing her".

Suddenly the room's door burst opened and a drunk Abhinav entered. Devika immediately sat back on the floor and looked at him with a horrible expression. Abhinav is looking like a lunatic.

Abhinav came towards Devika and held her forearm. With an abrupt turn, he stood her up on her feet and said dangerously," my doll. I have something special for you".

Devika is looking at him with a scared expression. She is looking like a prey who has totally lost her courage in front of a lion. Abhinav gave a packet to Devika.
