His Doll novel Chapter 34

Author's p.o.v

Devika and her siblings are so busy sharing their sorrow that they didn't notice that their mother has gone to the balcony alone.

Bhabani is totally depressed, scared and delusional. She is hearing whispers inside her head and a woman's voice who is cursing her and threatening her.

She is chanting non-stop," She will not spare me".

Bhabani is now standing on the balcony and looking at the garden without blinking her eyes. She is standing there like a statue and chanting, " Anamika!! Anamika will kill me."

She is lost in her own world when she saw a familiar figure in the garden and the figure is none other than Anamika.

Seeing Anamika, Bhavani's eyes get widened and she started mumbling, "She is here. She is a ghost. She will not spare me. She will kill me!!"

Bhabani is chanting all this and shaking badly due to extreme fear. On the other hand, to scare Bhabani more, Anamika started laughing and just in a blink of an eye, Anamika vanished in the air spreading some white smoke.

This time Bhabani couldn't hold her fear anymore and cried out loudly. She started yelling like a mental patient. She is already a BP patient. And after all this stress her condition is now worsening. 

Hearing Bhabani's yelling Devika, Neel and Ruhi ran towards the balcony and found their mother lying on the floor almost unconscious and shaking badly.

 Seeing their mother's conditions, Gupta siblings cried out loudly.

Devika screamed, "Ma. What happened to you?"

They held Bhabani and took her to the room. They laid her down on the bed. 

Devika didn't waste any minute. She ran towards downstairs and found everyone having their dinner. Abhinav noticed devika and tried to say something. He is smirking because he is the one who told Rupal to scare Bhabani here. He understood that Rupal has done her job and Bhabani is surely not very well. 

Abhinav almost opened his mouth to mock devika but devika ignored him and ran towards Arnav.

Seeing her worried and frightening condition Arnav became surprised and asked with a worried tone, "What happened?  Are you ok?"

Devika joined her hands in front of Arnav and said," Please, save my mother!"

Arnav didn't waste any minute and ran Upstairs to Devika's room. He understood that something is wrong with Devika's mother because he was also noticing Bhabani's unusual behaviour.      

Devika & Arushi also ran after Arnav and reached Devika's room.

 Only Abhinav is still standing here with a smirk on his face. All the guests are looking at Abhinav with curiosity and questioning eyes. Avantika didn't care about devika so she is enjoying herself here.

Abhinav said smiling, " It's nothing. Everyone, please enjoy your food. Actually my mother-in-law isn't very well. So my brother went to check her.!"

 The guests didn't say anything further and they are now enjoying their meal. Avantika is busy with her pervert husband who is trying to find a scope to have a glimpse of devika.

On the other hand, Abhinav mentally said smirking," Now, it's time for the real game." 

Inside Devika's room

Arnav is checking Bhabani's pulse and pressure. Bhabani's pressure is unusually high. Bhabani is mumbling in her sleep and panicking.

Seeing her condition devika & her siblings are crying badly.

Devika asked Arnav crying," What happened to ma?" 

" your mother's condition isn't that good. Her pressure is unusually high. Anytime she will have a stroke. It will be better if we shift her to the hospital," Arnav said with a worried tone.

Listening to him devika burst into more tears and almost going to fall on the floor. Ruhi and Neel held her.

Arushi said to Arnav," Bhai, I think you can shift Bhabani aunty to your clinic. After all we are all family".

Arnav nodded his head in positive and looked at devika who is looking at him with hopeful eyes. Arnav still has some soft corner for devika. Her crying is hurting him badly.

Arnav didn't waste any time and called on his clinic's reception. He ordered his staff to send an ambulance immediately.

After cutting the call Arnav walked towards devika and said softly, " Don't worry. Nothing will happen to your mother. I am here. Very soon we will shift your mother to hospital.!"

Devika said crying, "Thank you." She is feeling grateful towards Arnav.

For some moments Devika and Arnav looked at each other intensely. Devika's eyes are showing gratitude where Arnav's eyes are showing concern & softness.

Their eye contact is broken by Abhinav's deep voice. Abhinav said with his calm tone," No one is going to the hospital."

Everyone turned their head towards Abhinav and found him standing at the door without any worried expression.

Abhinav noticed Bhavani's condition and mentally said," Bitch. She deserves this!!!

Arnav said, " Bhai, Bhabani aunty's condition is very bad. If we didn't take her to the hospital She might have a stroke very soon!"

"Let her have a stroke. It's none of my concern. Take her away from my room and throw her away. The guests are already gone. I think my in-laws should also leave."

Saying all this, Abhinav looked at Ruhi & Neel. Both understood that Abhinav is insulting them again.

Hearing Abhinav's straightforward reply everyone become surprised and thinking how can he say that about someone's illness.!!

Abhinav is standing here without any expression on his face when he felt someone's soft hand on his hand.

He looked at the person and found a crying devika.

Devika held Abhinav's hand and pleaded, " Don't be so cruel. Let us take ma to the hospital. I will do whatever you say, I will remain your doll always but please let us take my ma to the hospital."

Abhinav is still standing without any expression. He is seeing devika like her crying is nothing in front of him.

This time devika kneeled in front of him and hugged his both legs. She didn't bother to kneel in front of him. She has done this many times before.

Ruhi & Neel yelled with disbelief," Di(Sister)!!!"

Arnav & Arushi were seeing all this like puppets. They can't say anything in front of Abhinav.

Devika said pleading," I will be your slave for the rest of my life. I will do everything per your order and wish. Please, let us take my ma to the hospital."

Abhinav thought something deeply for a few moments. Then a sinister smile formed on his lips. Something big is cooking inside his psychotic brain.

He held Devika's right forearm and with an abrupt turn he stood her up on her feet.

He said wiping her tears," Do you mean all of your words?"

Devika is still crying but no words are coming out of her mouth. Suddenly all heard the sound of an ambulance and devika panicked.

She said in one go," I mean all the words. Please, let me take my ma to the hospital!"

Abhinav said resting his hand on Devika's waist," Arnav, take my mother-in-law to the hospital. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law can go with Arnav. My doll will not go with you!"

Devika looked at Abhinav and pleaded, " Please, don't say no. My ma needs me there. How can I stay here when my ma is in the hospital! "

Abhinav said with a boring tone," I think you want to see your mother's death very soon. Didn't I say that you can't go to the hospital? I think I should change my mind!"

" No, no. I will not go. But please, don't stop my ma's treatment," Devika said joining her hands.

Ruhi & Neel can't believe their eyes and ears that their mother has married off their sister to a monster.

This time Arushi came forward and said resting her hand on Devika's shoulder," Don't worry. I am also going there. If you want to know anything, call me on my number using the landline. I think bhai will not oppose."

Saying that Arushi gave Abhinav a disappointed look. Abhinav didn't care about anyone. He is busy making every Gupta's life miserable.
