Author's p.o.v
Abhinav is sitting in his office cabin and smoking a cigarette. He is looking very calm and contented. He is wearing his Armani grey suit and as usual, looking devilishly handsome. He is deeply thinking about his doll. Yesterday, when she said crying, looking into his eyes to believe her he felt a writhing in his heart.
" She is affecting you too much. She is a magician. She is playing with your mind," the devil inside him said angrily.
" Don't hurt my doll anymore. She is enduring too much," The good Abhinav protested.
"this time you are right," he supported his good side. He is fighting with his inner self. He is thinking everything about Devika and feeling restless. He doesn't know why he is feeling like that.
His thinking is interrupted by an intruder who entered with a worried face. The intruder is none other than Shivay.
He said without greeting Abhinav, " Abhi bhai? What's all this? Why did you seize our new shipment?"
Abhinav is still smoking without giving any glance at Shivay. He is totally impassive by shivay's behaviour.
Shivay is becoming irritated by Abhinav's behaviour. He again said with a pissed off tone, " Abhi bhai, that's not right. This new shipment is very important for my company. Why did you seize them?"
Abhinav threw away the cigarette into the trash bin and stood up from his seat.
He walked towards Shivay and said with his usual dangerous voice, "Guess, why I sized your shipment!?
Shivay is now totally run out of his patience by hearing Abhinav's foul talking and yelled loudly, " what the hell is this? Why did you do that? Have you forgotten that I am your brother-in-law? Your sister's husband.!!"
" Awaz niche rakh!!( lower your voice ). Bhul mat ki tu kaha khara hey ( Don't forget that where you are standing), "Abhinav warned with his calm yet dangerous tone.
Shivay gulped down his saliva because of fear. He is understanding that Abhinav is angry with him. He is only fearing one thing that what will Abhinav do if he finds out that Shivay had tried to rape devika.
Shivay tried to manipulate Abhinav saying softly, " Abhi bhai, are you angry with me for any reason? Are you angry with Bhabi ji's matter? I am telling you the truth bhai. It's bhabi Ji who tried to seduce me".
Shivay completed his sentence and a hard punch landed on his face shaking his two teeth.
Before he could react Abhinav yelled, " Omkara?"
And Shivay felt someone has injected something on his neck. He looked behind and found a tall figure who is looking at Abhinav like he is waiting for Abhinav's order.
Shivay said with difficulty, " what..did... you...inject...on...me?"
Saying that he immediately fell on the floor and became unconscious.
Abhinav ordered Omkara, " Take my brother-in-law to my most favourite place. He doesn't know what's waiting for him".
Omkara replied with his professional tone, " yes, sir."
After two hour
Shivay opened his eyes slowly and discovered himself inside a big room sitting on a chair. The room is lightened with yellow lights. There is no window in this whole room but only a wooden door. The room's atmosphere is quite cold.
Shivay tried to stand up from the chair but he couldn't move his hands and feet as they are tied up with ropes. He looked carefully at his surroundings and gasped loudly.
The whole room is looking too much creepy with red colour paint. The most disturbing part of the room is there are many tables in the room.
And on every table, there are many jars filled with some liquid and human body parts are preserved in that liquid. There are various types of human parts. Heart, eyeballs, head, hands and many more.
Seeing all these disturbing scenes Shivay's body is now shaking because of tremendous fear. He started sweating like a pig.
He cried out loudly and said, " Please, someone save me!! Abhi bhai. Please. Don't scare me like that".
" My bastard brother in law is now awake," saying that Abhinav entered into the room dragging a chair with him.
He sat on the chair in front of Shivay. His eyes are looking quite dark and he is smirking. Moreover, Abhinav is looking like a psycho.
Seeing Abhinav, Shivay asked with his shaky voice, " What's all this bhai? Why am I here? What's this place?"
Abhinav said with a calm tone rubbing his beard, " How can you think that after touching my wife and cheating on my sister you will be fine!!"
Hearing him, Shivay's eyes get widened and he is now gulping down the lump which is forming on his throat because of fear.
He asked trembling, " Bhai, what are you saying? I have already said the truth".
This time Abhinav stood up from his seat and walked towards Shivay. He gave Shivay some hard punches which resulted in Shivay's nose and face bleeding.
Abhinav grabbed his chin tightly and said angrily, " What did you think that you will check out my wife every time and I will not say anything. How dare you to put your fingers on my doll and cheat my sister?
Shivay is now sure that Abhinav has come to know about everything but still, he refused saying, " Bhabi Ji, tried to seduce......"
He couldn't complete his sentence when he felt another punch on his stomach.
Abhinav yelled angrily, "You still are denying that you didn't do anything!! I am surprised seeing your audacity to lie in front of me".
Shivay is still denying when Abhinav barked on his face, " Bastard, I knew very clearly that your eyes were always roaming on my wife. That day when she cried in the kitchen and hugged me, I understood that something is wrong and you are obviously behind all this. But I wasn't sure. Moreover, I didn't want to break my sister's dream to marry you. But, recently in get together, I saw your eyes which were undressing my doll. I was feeling like to take out your eyeballs but I controlled myself thinking about my sister. I wanted to talk with my sister about your perverted nature. But before I could say something to her you dared to touch my wife. You motherfucker!!
Saying all this, Abhinav gave more punches on shivay's stomach. Shivay coughed blood from his mouth.
Shivay understood that this time Abhinav will not spare him. So, he started pleading.
He said crying, " Bhai, please. I am sorry. It was my fault. Don't kill me. I am really sorry. I will ask for forgiveness from bhabi Ji and Avantika. Don't kill me."
Abhinav laughed a few times and bent down a little to Shivay's level. He whispered in Shivay's ear, " you have committed a sin by touching my wife. Now, you have to face the consequences. Do you know what's this place?"
This time Shivay looked at Abhinav with too much fear in his eyes. He is feeling like his soul has left from his body. Shivay is now badly sweating and pleading.
Abhinav stood up from his bending position and started saying proudly, " Well, this room is my museum where I collect those people's body parts who betray me or try to harm me and my loved ones. Let me say you in details."
Saying that Abhinav walked towards a table and held a jar where two human eyeballs were preserved.
Taking that, Abhinav walked towards Shivay and said creepily showing the jar, "These eyeballs belong to Raghav's who claimed to love my doll. He looked at my doll with these eyes. So, I take out his eyes from his sockets when he was alive.!!
Hearing Abhinav's words Shivay understood that this psycho is going to do something like that with him. His whole body is now shaking abruptly and he has peed on his pants.
Abhinav noticed Shivay's behaviour and gave him a sinister smile. Then he again took another jar in his hand and showed it to shivay.
He said with a satisfied voice, " this heart belongs to that bastard whom I hate the most. I took out his heart from his ribcage when he was alive."
Abhinav is saying all this without any hesitation and remorse like it's normal for him.
Than, Abhinav said more creepily, " As you have looked at my doll with your eyes and touched her with your fingers, so I will preserve your eyes and fingers. I was thinking to persevere your dick than I thought I am not that creepy who will preserve a dick!! It will be fun to cut your fingers!! Isn't it!!
This time Shivay's begging and pleading got more loudly. He is crying and saying, " How can you do that? I am your brother-in-law. Think about your sister. She loves me a lot. Please, let me go".
" Tuz jeise hazar Shivay Khurana kharid sakta Hu , mey apni behen ki liye ( I can buy thousands of Shivay Khurana like you for my sister.). Tu uski tension mat ley, Tu apna tension kar( you don't have to worry about her, worry about yourself)," saying that Abhinav called someone and a man entered with some knives which will be used on Shivay.
Abhinav said with a normal tone, " After going back from here, you will say everyone that you had an accident where you lost your eyesight and fingers. Then, you will make my sister hate you in just one month so that she can divorce you. I can't let my sister live with a pervert".
Shivay said crying, " Please, I will do everything whatever you will say. But don't punish me."
Abhinav ignored his pleading and said trailing a knife on shivay's balls, " If you fail to do as I am saying then I will cut your dick along with your fingers. And about your shipments? It's just a demo that I control the whole business of yours."
( what shivay is feeling right now, the author can't describe in words.??)
Abhinav than started his sadistic works. He really took out Shivay's eyeballs and then cut his all ten fingers.
Shivay's warm blood is giving him more pleasure. Whenever Abhinav was torturing Shivay, his screaming is giving satisfaction inside Abhinav's heart.
After completing his psychotic works Abhinav ordered his man to preserve these eyeballs and fingers. He ordered Omkara to treat Shivay and send him back.
Before leaving, Abhinav said leaning towards Shivay's ear, " This is your punishment for looking &touching something which belongs to Abhinav Agnihotri. And another thing, Do as I say. Otherwise I will make your whole family bagger".
Saying that Abhinav left the room with a satisfied smile on his lips.
At Afternoon
Her eyes are looking red because of crying. Her small pointed fair nose is red. Her cheeks are tear-stained. She is looking too much hurt.
I said, " I am sorry".
I don't know how I said that. But, I said. What's wrong with me!! She wasn't expecting any sorry. She is looking at me with a surprised expression.
I kissed her forehead and rested my forehead on her forehead for few times. We both are now closing our eyes. She didn't say anything. After some time we opened our eyes and I noticed that she wants to ask me something.
I asked resting my hands on her shoulder, " What do you want to ask?"
She said looking down, " Can I go to meet my ma? Can I take Ruhi & Neel with me?. Please don't say no. I am missing ma a lot".
" You can. Take some money from my wallet and I will tell the driver to drop you at the asylum," I said softly. I don't know why I can't refuse her this time.
Hearing me, her face lit up and she said smilingly, " thank you so much. Thank you."
Saying that she pulled my both beard filled cheeks like I am a baby and smiled.What the hell she just did!! I become frozen in my place. She pulled the beast's cheeks!! This time she giggled and ran towards the mansion quickly.
And here I am standing with my racing heart, mind and soul. I am done for sure!! Why she acted so cute!! The devil inside me said, " See, she is a fucking magician. She changed your mind so quickly!!.
I said angrily, " Just shut up. She is not a magician. She is mine. My doll".
Devika's p.o.v
I can't believe that the beast said sorry!! I know whatever he had done with me, that's unforgivable but still this small sorry from a beast like him feels kinda weird. Today when he was talking with me I was feeling like he was very very hurt!! But why he was hurt? And why he asked me that weird question?
I didn't understand his behaviour at all. Sometimes he acts so emotionally, sometimes he acts like a monster!! Which side is true of him? That emotional Abhinav or that monster Abhinav!!
And I am another fool. Why did I pull his cheeks!! He must be thinking of me as stupid. Sometimes I can't control my emotions and share everything with anyone. In too much emotion I sometimes forget with whom I am sharing my emotions. Stupid devika!!
Right now, I am sitting with Neel & Ruhi inside the waiting room of the mental asylum. We are waiting for ma.
After a few moments, Ma came with an asylum staff. She is looking so thin and pale. Her once healthy body is nowhere to be found. Seeing her condition my eyes become watered. She is looking down and completely silent.
Ruhi and Neel ran towards her and hugged her tightly. She wasn't expecting that.
My both siblings cried out loudly saying, " Ma, we missed you".
She was silent for some time and when she looked at their face, she recognised Ruhi and Neel. She hugged them tightly and also cried out loudly.
She said crying, " My children ".
Hearing her voice I am feeling happy. I hope my ma becomes normal so fast.
She didn't notice me yet. She is hugging Ruhi and Neel when her eyes fell on me. But seeing me, she isn't happy. She marched towards me angrily and choked my neck.
She said with too much rage in her voice, " What are you doing here? I don't want to see you. Get lost from here".
I am thrashing my hands to remove her hand but she isn't letting me go. That hospital staff somehow removed her hand from me. I am panting hard. Ruhi and Neel hold me. But ma is cursing me saying various types of curse word. I am not understanding her behaviour. She behaved normally with my siblings. Then why she is rude to me. I almost forget that she is mentally unstable.
I said crying, " Ma, I am your daughter. Your devika. Why are you behaving like that?"
She yelled loudly wriggling in that staff's hold.
She said, " You are not my daughter. You are that ugly and fool Kamlesh's daughter! Get lost from here. You bitch!!"
This time I couldn't control my emotions anymore.
I asked her, " Why are you acting rude to me. But behaving nicely with Ruhi and Neel? What's my fault?"
" Because they are Vivek's children. My love's children. They are the result of our love. You are the result of a forced marriage. I hate you".
Ma said yelling and I looked at her with disbelief. What's she saying!! We are all my father's children.
What the hell she is talking about!!
