After one week
Author's p.o.v
It's been a week since Pari last saw Raakshas and talked with him. Actually, it's Raakshas who didn't come to his mansion and meet Pari. Even Abdul chacha doesn't know where is Raakshas living. In this one week, nobody brings the topic of abortion again. Nor Raakshas nor Pari.
Raakshas has taken back Pari from the dungeon and given her a separate room. But, he didn't allow her to live in his bedroom. After that day he didn't utter a single word with Pari.
On the other hand, Pari is becoming restless without Raakshas. She is feeling too much lonely. She wants to talk with Raakshas. She wants to spend some time with him. She wants to share her feelings with him.
After knowing about Raakshas's miserable childhood Pari thought it's just sympathy which was she feeling for him. But, after spending some time without him she understood that it's not just sympathy which she is feeling for him. It's something else which she doesn't want to admit.
Right now, Pari is just walking in the garden and thinking about Raakshas. She has asked everyone who might know where is Raakshas but nobody could give her a satisfying answer.
" Ankita, don't run so fast. What if you fall and hurt yourself," Pari heard Niharika's voice.
Pari looked frontwards and found that Niharika is playing with her daughter Ankita.
A rage builds inside Pari's system seeing Niharika. She is the reason that Raakshas didn't believe Pari. If she said the truth then Raakshas might haven't behaved rudely with Pari.
Niharika noticed Pari and she started leaving the garden. After Pari's abortion Niharika has started avoiding Pari. She is giving cold shoulders to Pari. She didn't talk with Pari and didn't even ask Pari's we'll being even after the abortion though they are living under the same roof.
" Why did you lie? Pari asked Niharika angrily.
Niharika halted and replied sternly," I have my own reason."
Pari sarcastically said," Own reason! Do you have any idea because of your stupid lies what I have gone through?"
" I am not interested to hear your rubbish talking," Niharika replied and turned to leave the garden.
Pari couldn't tolerate Niharika's this behaviour. She holds Niharika's hand and made her face Pari.
She slapped Niharika hard across her right cheek and growled at her," Rubbish talking! My husband has turned his face from me because of your fucking lies. He is thinking of me as a murderer of my own child. You are also a mother. How can you do that to me?"
Saying all this Pari started crying badly. Her beautiful green eyes have become red due to tears. She is feeling pain inside her chest for her unborn baby as well as for Raakshas.
Niharika heard Pari's every word and was silent for some time. She is looking at Pari with her blank expression but a tear roll down from her eyes.
Niharika said with too much pain in her voice," If you were in my place then you might have understood why I told lies."
Saying that Niharika left the garden with her daughter. She didn't glance at Pari again. But, a pang of guilt was killing her from inside.
