His Doll novel Chapter 16

Author's p.o.v

" Nice to meet you Mr & Mrs Khurana," Abhinav said to Vikram Khurana and his wife Kavya Khurana. They also greeted him back. Then Arnav and Arushi also came forward and greeted them.

Mr Khurana asked Abhinav," Where is my would-be daughter-in-law?

Abhinav called Avantika and seeing Avantika Mr Khurana said," Here you are. You are looking beautiful, dear".

Avantika blushed hearing Mr Khurana and smiled at him. Mrs Khurana hugged her and kissed her forehead.

They are talking when Arnav asked," where is our brother-in-law? He is late at his own marriage announcement!!".

Mrs Khurana informed," Actually he is trapped in traffic. He will be here very soon".

Now, Abhinav and Mr Khurana are talking about their business. Mrs Khurana, Avantika, Arnav and Arushi are talking about Avantika's would-be husband Shivay Khurana.

Well, Avantika likes Shivay Khurana very much and Khurana industries are a good friend of Agnihotrie's. When Avantika shared her feelings about Shivay to Abhinav, he didn't object and agreed immediately to this marriage. Tonight Abhinav will announce Avantika and Shivay's marriage date.

On the other hand, Devika is talking with her siblings. She is very happy that finally, she is meeting her family. She doesn't care what  Abhinav has told her or what he will do to her tonight. She is laughing and joking with her siblings. She will be back into his hell hole again so she is just enjoying this moment with her family.

She doesn't know that Abhinav is seeing her and fuming in rage because she is not with him. Moreover, She is ignoring him and totally engrossed with her family.

Bhabani is seeing Abhinav with her scrutinizing eyes. She is trying very hard to solve this puzzle.

She is sure that  Anamika's Children are dead. But, after seeing Abhinav she is in total turmoil that is Abhinav can be Anamika's son. She is totally frustrated and worried. She has already lost her company, her bank balance is almost empty because she used them to buy shares but lost miserably. She is in financial problems also and now this Anamika's case. She is feeling afraid if Abhinav is really Anamika's son than Abhinav will not spare her.

She is thinking all this when a message came to her phone. She opened the message and it's from Agnish.

Agnish wrote," Tomorrow meet me at the park. I have some information regarding Anamika and her children's case".

Bhabani replied, " ok. I will be there at sharp 4 p.m."

Bhabani and Abhinav are glancing at each other. Abhinav is seeing Bhabani with pure hate and anger. On the other hand, Bhabani is looking at him with confusion.

Devika's p.o.v

"Di(sister), you have become quite than before. I can't find that jolly Devika in you. What happened to you? Neel asked looking at me intensely.

I am just staring at him. I am feeling helpless. I can't say what I am facing every day in this house. My brother has sensed that I am not happy here. How can I tell him that my husband is making my life miserable? How can I say that I am not even allowed to eat proper food?

" No, Neel. I am absolutely ok" I said trying very hard to control my tears. I composed myself and tried to act normal.

I am talking with Ruhi and Neel but I am noticing a tension between ma and Abhinav. Their looks are telling me that something is wrong. Obviously, Abhinav will not share anything with me and Ma isn't sharing anything with me either. I am sure something is bothering ma.

I am talking with Ruhi and Neel when that beast came towards me. Seeing him my smile already vanished and I lowered my eyes.

He said with a tight smile," Khurana's are waiting to meet you. Come with me".

I don't want to go with him but I am helpless. I have to obey him.
