Author's p.o.v
It's afternoon time and Devika is pacing here and there inside the bedroom like a madwoman. She is only thinking about leaving this house.
But she also remembered her mother's saying. Her mother wants her to make this marriage successful. But how can she!!
She isn't living with a normal person!! She is living with a psycho. She understood that she can't make this marriage successful. She has already given up.
After thinking too much she decided to leave this house. She has that much trust in her mother that after seeing her condition her mother will not force her to return to this house.
Devika didn't think anymore and opened the closet. She took out some money from Abhinav's drawer.
She grabbed her purse and without taking any kind of accessories or clothes she came out of the house. She didn't even bother to change her saree.
Abhinav is not at home, Arnav is in his clinic, Avantika is in her office and Arushi has gone to meet one of her friends. Only Ruhani ma is at home. Devika didn't tell anything to anyone and came out of the mansion.
Devika is now in front of the main gate which is made of iron and various types of design are carved on the gate like it's any kind of Palace's main entrance.
Devika tried to go out when the security guards run towards her. They stopped her and said bowing their head," Mam, you can't leave the mansion. We have strict order from Abhinav sir that without his permission you can't go out".
Devika is already too much hurt and angry. And now these security guards!!
She said angrily," I don't give a shit about your psycho sir's order. Get lost from my way".
The guards are not moving anywhere. They are still standing in front of her like a wall. She tried again to go out but they stopped her. This time her anger rose its peak and she screamed," Let me go out from this cage. I can't leave with this mental patient. Just let me go"
Saying that she started crying. The guards are totally impassive because they are only doing their job.
Suddenly someone said from behind," Let her go!."
Devika along with the guards turned behind and saw Ruhani ma. Seeing her, every guard bowed down their head to show her respect.
Ruhani ma came forward and ordered," Let her go."
Ruhani ma's voice is filled with anger. She is angry with Abhinav because of his behaviour toward devika. One of the guards said lowering his eyes," But mam...Abhinav sir has forbidden..... "
The guard couldn't complete his sentence when Ruhani ma barked on his face," just let her go. I will handle Abhi".
Another guard tried to say something when Ruhani ma showed everyone her palm and every guard zipped their mouth. They stepped behind from their position and gave access to Devika so that she can leave.
Devika is crying and thanking Ruhani ma for her generosity. Before leaving, Devika hugged her tightly and said," Thank you so much, Ruhani ma. Thank you so much!!
Ruhani ma also hugged her back and said patting her back," Just go to your house, dear. I think your mother will help you. Tell her everything. Just go from this hell."
Devika didn't waste any time and came out from the mansions main entrance. After one and half month of her marriage, she has come out of the mansion.
Seeing the surrounding around her she took a deep breath. The cool breeze is touching her skin and making her relaxed.
Before leaving, she turned to the mansion and said angrily," Goodbye Mr Abhinav Agnihotri. I will never return to you. I will not be your doll anymore".
Saying that she took a cab and started her journey to her home. She doesn't know that destiny will again play with her cruelly.
Abhinav's p.o.v
I am right now in my office. Today I am feeling too much satisfaction thinking that finally, Agnish is in my clutch.
He has raped my mother with his fellow policeman huh!!! I will not spare him. He will see hell very soon. I will kill him slowly giving immense pain. I will also find out all those policemen who were involved with Agnish and will punish them cruelly.
I can't believe that he is the same policeman who was in charge of my mother's case. That's why he closed the case so early so that his crimes didn't come out. If I knew this information at that time I would have surely killed him.
But it's not late yet. I will kill him but first, I will play with him. I will give him all the pain which my mother felt. I will give him all the pain which I and my siblings faced after our mother's death.
That Bhabani bitch had already ruined my mother at that time and this Agnish had completely broken her.
Nalini said that ma was afraid of Agnish. That means she knew Agnish from the very first. Well, I will find out everything about why Agnish raped my mother. After all, I have him for many days. He will pay for his every sin.
I still remember that black day of my life. That day was the worst day of my life. My mother committed suicide that day. After her death, our lives become more mortifying.
Flashback
(It's been one week since ma has suffered those torture. After that night She has become quiet. She didn't go out for her work anymore. She doesn't even talk with us properly. I have asked her many times about those persons who hurt her. First, she didn't even want to talk about that matter. One day she only said that a policeman is responsible for her this condition. I have asked her many times to tell me that bastard's name but she never told me anything.
At that time we were staying in a slum type area and living in a small house. I and my siblings used to study at the nearby school. Ma tried very hard to make us educated. To help ma in her financial status I used to work as a hotel boy apart from my studies.
