Raakshas - A human demon novel Chapter 42

Pari's p.o.v

Hearing me, Niharika stopped her crying and said looking down," Vedant never wanted to force me. It was my stupidity that made him like that."

" What do you mean, Niharika? Didn't you tell me that Vedant raped you?" I asked her with total confusion.

She took a deep breath and I saw her beautiful brown doe-like eyes are getting blurred because of tears. She is hiccupping continuously.

" I..... shouldn't.....have..... tried.....to.....run..... away.....," She said hiccupping and I can sense the regret in her voice.

I asked her trying to understand what she is actually saying," Niharika, can you tell me everything from the very first? I am not understanding your puzzling words."

She stared at my face for some time with her wide and teary eyes. She is having a regretting expression on her face. Her lips are trembling and she is trying to say something but her words are not coming out from her mouth.

Suddenly, she stood up and started screaming like a madwoman. She is pacing here and there like an impatient person and screaming.

I become shocked by seeing her condition. She is looking too much disturbed and she is also crying.

" Niharika, are you alright? I asked her trying to calm her down.

She replied screaming," Amma(mother), where is my Amma.......please, tell her to come.......please...."

She is now literally pleading in front of me for someone called Amma. I am wondering who is this Amma. Is she Niharika's mother? I never heard her talking about any Amma. It's the first time I am hearing about this Amma.

" Who is Amma, Niharika? Is she your mother? I asked her confusingly.

She didn't reply to my questions. She is pacing here and there. I noticed that she is murmuring something and pulling her hairs like a crazy person.

" Niharika, calm.........." I tried to say something when she held my shoulder tightly and said crying," He killed my Amma. Pari, he snatched the only person I ever loved. I will kill him......I will kill him........"

She said the last part with too much hatred and loath in her voice. Her eyes are showing rage. Then, She burst into tears and shaking badly like she is having some kind of panic attack. I tried to console her but nothing is working.

" Niharika, hosh mey aaw( Niharika, come to your sense)," I said shaking her slightly where she is murmuring only one thing. She is saying that she will kill him. I know she is obviously talking about Vedant. That bastard has tortured her mercilessly.

Suddenly, she stopped screaming but started whining. She said whining," I am responsible for everything. I am at fault. Everything happened because of my stupidity."

This time, hearing her I am sure that she has lost her mind and become crazy. She needs a psychiatrist's help.

What's happening with her? Sometimes she is blaming Vedant and sometimes she is blaming herself. What's wrong with her?

" Niharika, you need to calm down. Let me check your bo.........." I couldn't complete my sentence when she fainted. She fell on the floor like a rag doll and her body is slightly shaking.

I bent down to her level and caressed her cheeks. I said worriedly," Niharika, ....Niharika.....open your eyes, girl......"

I checked her pulse which is very weak. I am sure something is very wrong with her. I would have checked her properly but I don't have any medical equipment here. I have to call a doctor.

Without wasting any time I called one of the maids and ordered her," Tell Vedant that Niharika has fainted. Tell him to call a doctor right now."

After one hour

" Pari aunty, what happened to Mommy? Why she isn't opening her eyes? Vedant's 5-year-old son asked me innocently.

I patted his head and said affectionately," Your mommy will be fine. Don't worry, baby."

Well, Vedant and Niharika has 6 children. Their eldest son is 5 years old, then their triplets consisting two daughters and one son are 3 year old, their another daughter is 2 year old and the youngest one is five months old.

Vedant's son nodded his head and went towards his mother. He touched his mother's face lovingly.

A lady doctor is checking Niharika and Vedant is looking at her with his worried eyes. He is looking too much tensed and upset. I can see emotions in his eyes for Niharika.

" Is she fine?" Vedant asked the doctor worriedly. He is sitting beside Niharika's head holding her one hand progressively.

The doctor replied with her professional voice," She is suffering from anxiety and stress. I will recommend you to take her to a psychiatrist. Moreover, she is suffering from anaemia. It's not that good in this condition."

" What do you mean by this condition?" I and Vedant both asked the doctor confusingly.

The doctor replied," She is 4 weeks pregnant."
