His Doll novel Chapter 22

Author's p.o.v

Devika has changed her saree. She has worn a beautiful light blue colour saree and came downstairs to set the plate on the table as it's dinner time. After setting she said one of the maid to inform everyone that dinner is ready.

After some time everybody came downstairs to have dinner. Looking at Devika Arnav couldn't take off his eyes from her. The blue colour is looking too good on her. He is admiring her mentally. He didn't notice that Abhinav is seeing him with his scrutinizing eyes.

Abhinav said to Arnav with his dangerous voice," Don't put your eyesight everywhere, especially where it doesn't belong".

Arnav understood what Abhinav is telling him. Immediately he took off his eyes from devika.

Abhinav is seeing Devika with various types of emotions. He is complimenting her beauty. She is looking like a shiny star in blue colour. He looked at her pink lips. She is wearing lip balm which is giving her lips a glossy look. An urge to kiss those lips came to his mind. But for now he controlled himself. He will kiss her maddeningly when they will be alone in his room.

Everybody sat on the chair and have their dinner. When everybody has finished their dinner, Ruhani ma said to Devika," Where is the kheer, dear?

"Kheer?" Abhinav asked slightly frowning his brow.

" Devika has prepared kheer for us," Ruhani ma replied.

Abhinav liked the fact that Devika has made kheer. He loves kheer a lot. He remembered his mother how she used to make kheer for him. How she fed him with her own hands. He is thinking that Devika might have made kheer for him willingly. This thought is making him happy. A small smile formed on his lips.

Devika served kheer on everyone's plate. Abhinav smilingly put a spoonful of kheer inside his mouth. After tasting the kheer, his face expression got changed and he stood up from his seat. He threw away the kheer from his mouth and said loudly," Is this kheer?"

Hearing his loud voice Devika flinched backwards from her position. Adrenalin rushed through her whole system indicating she is too much afraid.

Other members of the family also tasted the kheer and tasting it they also threw away the kheer from their mouth.

Abhinav threw the plate in front of Devika and it landed near her feet. The plate is now shattered into pieces.

With a shaky voice, Devika asked," What's wrong?"

Abhinav looked at her with pure rage. He marched to her and held her hairs tightly.

He barked on her face," You dare to serve me salty kheer"!!

Devika looked at him with disbelief because she clearly remembered that she has added sugar in the kheer.

She said trying very hard to free her hairs from his grip," It can't be possible. I have put sugar in the kheer, not salt".

This time Abhinav couldn't control his anger anymore. He slapped her in front of everyone. He said venom dripping from his voice," First you serve us salty kheer and now you are telling lie!!"

Abhinav took a spoonful of kheer and shoved it into Devika's mouth forcefully. When the kheer touched her taste bud she also threw away the kheer because it's too much salty.

Ruhani ma is observing Abhinav and understood that Abhinav will not spare Devika tonight.

She said, " it's just kheer. Don't get mad that much. She has made a mistake. People do mistakes. Leave this matter".

Arnav and Arushi also agreed with Ruhani ma but Avantika said rolling her eyes" If she doesn't know how to make kheer than why she made it. Abhi bhai was so happy that she made kheer for him after all he loves kheer that much. But, now because of her irresponsibility, his mood is ruined. My brother works very hard day and night for us and our bhabi can't at least feed him a sweet kheer. This is totally unacceptable".

Avantika's word fueled more anger in Abhinav's already hot mind. He held devika's back neck and said dangerously," You tried to feed me salty kheer!!  Huh!! Why!! Why you did this? First, you have started playing with my mind and now you are also messing with my food!!! Just wait and watch what I do to you"

Listening to him Devika's mind became blank. She is pleading continuously to leave her and apologising for her mistakes which she isn't even committed.

Abhinav ordered his siblings to leave the dining area. Avantika left immediately giving Devika a boring look but Arnav and Arushi tried to save Devika. But They stopped seeing Abhinav's look.

But Ruhani ma didn't go anywhere. She is trying her best to make Abhinav understand that it's just kheer. Don't make this matter too big.

Abhinav isn't listening to anyone's words. He ordered one of the maids to give him the whole pot of salt. The maid obliged and give him the pot.

Devika is looking at everything with horrible expression. Her soul, mind and body are now trembling with immense fear. She can't imagine what is going to happen to her.

Abhinav held her chin tightly and shoved one spoonful of salt in her mouth. She coughed loudly tasting the salt. She is thrashing her hands to free her chin from Abhinav's hold.

He said dangerously," You are very fond of putting salt in kheer!! Huh!! After this day you will never become irresponsible when you are preparing my food"

Saying that he shoved another spoonful of salt into Devika's mouth. This time she couldn't control anymore and vomited on the floor. She fell on the floor coughing very hard.

Ruhani ma couldn't control herself anymore and raised her hand to slap Abhinav. But her hand stopped at the middle seeing Abhinav's eyes. He is looking too angry like he will kill anyone anytime.

Abhinav couldn't believe that his Ruhani ma tried to slap him just for devika. This thing made him angrier. He held devika by her hairs and dragged her towards their room. 

Ruhani ma ran after him to stop him but he barked loudly," I respect you Ruhani ma. But don't come into my matter. I will forget our relationships!!"

Saying that he again dragged Devika towards his room.

Ruhani ma stopped in her track listening to him and looked at Devika with a pitiful expression.

She can't believe she has raised a monster with her own hands. Thinking this she is feeling very hurt that is this the same Abhinav who came to her home injured!!  Is this the same Abhinav who always respected her!! She can't think anymore. And with a heavy heart, she left the place. She is now praying for Devika only.

Abhinav is dragging Devika by her hairs. Devika understood that he will again torture her. So, she tried her last attempt.  She is holding every furniture and maids whatever is coming to her path to prevent Abhinav from dragging her. Her denial is making Abhinav more crazy.

He is now irritated by her behaviour and picked her up on his shoulder. When he reached their room, he threw herself on the floor with full force.

Devika hissed in pain because of the impact. Abhinav closed the door with a loud thud. He turned at Devika and started having predatory moves.

Seeing him, Devika is now crawling backwards and saying only one thing," I didn't put salt. Please, don't beat me. I am sorry. Please......" she doesn't know why she is even saying sorry. She didn't commit any crime.

The whole night Devika cried and begged for mercy. Abhinav has again unleashed his wrath, anger and frustration on her.

On the other hand, another person who put salt in the kheer saw Abhinav's behaviour. That person was smirking seeing Devika's misery.

That person said smirking," This bitch needs more punishment. I will make her life miserable. Slut!!! From this onward, she will get his beating everyday and I will make sure of that. Then she will understand what's the result of putting eyes on someone else's man."
