His Doll
Chapter 26- Scared

After another week

Devika's p.o.V

I woke up early in the morning and looked beside me. Abhinav is still sleeping. This whole week we are sleeping on the same bed. I don't know what happened to him. He told me to sleep on the bed with him. His behaviour is now quite tolerable.

In this whole week, he never forced for once though we are sleeping on the same bed. Every night he sleeps cuddling with me. And I am noticing that he doesn't scream at night anymore. Am I the reason that he is feeling comfortable.? I don't know.

Maybe he is changing. He doesn't beat me anymore nor he talks with me rudely. Maybe he is also trying to cope with me. His psychotic behaviour is nowhere to be seen in him. In these two weeks, he behaved civilly with me. I am glad that he doesn't beat me and force me anymore. I hope he always behaves like that.

I wanted to ask him about my study but again I didn't replace enough courage to ask him. What if he again gets angry and beats me. I don't want him to turn back to his previous behaviours.

Right now, I am looking at his face. He is sleeping peacefully. His beard has grown up a little bit making him more grumpy. His facial feature is always holding a dominating aura even in his sleep. Should I wake him up? No, let him sleep. Last night he came home late at night. He needs rest. I didn't bother him and got down from the bed. I went to the closet and took out a simple pink colour saree. I went to the washroom and did my morning routine. I should go to the kitchen and make breakfast.

I came downstairs and noticed that some workers are coming inside of the mansion with flower, various types of the vestry in their hands like there will be held any kind of Puja(worship).

I am not understanding which Puja is today. Nobody told me anything. With a confused mood, I walk towards the kitchen when I heard two maids are talking.

One maid said," I will ask Sir to help me get my son admitted into the college."

Another one said," I will ask Sir to help me in paying my debt."

What are they talking about! How can they ask Abhinav all this? He will not help them obviously. But why are they so confident that he will help them. I entered the kitchen and seeing me both the maids greeted me. I greeted them back.

I wanted to know what kind of puja is today.

I asked them," Do you know what's today? Workers are coming with flowers and vestry."

"Mam, today is Abhinav sir's mother's birthday. Every year he holds a puja on this day," one of the maids informed me.

So, today is my mother-in-law's birthday. That royal lady's birthday whose picture I saw in that room. I don't know anything about her. I will ask Ruhani ma about her. Maybe she can give me any information. Abhinav never told me that his mother's birthday is today.

"But what were you talking about? Something about asking for help?" I asked the maids curiously.

They two looked at each other face for few seconds and then one of them said," Actually mam, on this day anyone can ask anything to Sir. And he gives that thing without any saying. So, we are thinking to ask him to help us."

They completed their words and I understood the matter which they were talking about. I ordered them to continue their work.

So, today anyone can ask him for anything and he doesn't say no. If the maids are saying the truth then I can ask him about those questions which I wanted to ask him. I will ask him about everything. Why he hurts me!! Why he behaves unusually! Why he screams at night!! Everything.

And he can't be able to say no today. I will know everything about him.

Yes, it's the best chance. I will ask him about those questions answers. This time he can't refuse me.

I make my mind and started making breakfast. Tonight I will know everything about him.

Abhinav's p.o.v

Today is ma's birthday. Every year I hold puja for the peace of my mother's soul. And on this day, if anyone asks me for something I never say no because my mother came to this earth today. This day is like a blessing day for me. She is the purest soul I have ever known.

Right now, I am checking all the arrangement about puja. Everything is almost done. I have told the Khurana's to join. They are on their way. The priest will be here at any moment. The puja will be starting very

soon.

I am wearing a simple trouser and a t-shirt. I should go and change myself into a white Punjabi. I went to my room and entered without any sound.

I saw that devika is only on her blouse and skirt. She is wearing her saree. She is trying to wear a pink colour saree.

She is back facing me. I can see some skin on her back is exposed. Her smooth back skin is glowing. Her waist-length hairs are lightly bound in a small bun.

Seeing her my hands are now itching to touch and feel her smooth skin. It's been two weeks since I haven't had her.

I was giving her some time to adjust. After her mother's rejection, I understood that she is totally broken. I can feel her pain.

When you expect something from your loved ones and that person rejects you. This pain can be too much for anybody. No one knows this feeling better than me. She and I are in the same boat. That's why I am giving her some space.

But right now seeing her, I couldn't control myself anymore. I walk towards her and held her waist from behind.

I started roaming my hands on her bare waist and stomach. I can feel her softness on my hands.

She gasped feeling the sudden touch. She tried to turn but I didn't give her any chance. So, she has to keep standing without any struggle.

I touched her neck by my nose and I can smell her sweet smell which is making me crazier.

I removed some of her hairs which were falling from her bun. I gave a sloppy kiss on her back neck. I can feel that she is shivering under my touch. I said softly in her ear," Are you ok?"

I heard a timid voice," I want to ask you about something. I heard that today you give whatever anyone wants. So, I want to ask you about something".

My holds from her waist become loosened and I faced her towards me. She is looking at me with hopeful eyes. But, I am feeling restless. What if she asks for divorce. What if she tries to run away from me. Obviously, she will ask for divorce. Whatever I have done with her, she will definitely ask for divorce. What if she wants to leave me. No, she can't leave me. She will not leave me. She will always be with me. But, if she asks for divorce what will I do! I can't refuse anyone's wish today!! Oh, God!! Which trouble you have brought me for this time.!!

I ask her with a slight angry yet afraid tone," what do you want to ask?"

"I will not ask you right now. After the puja, at night I want to ask you about something," She said fidgeting her fingers. I can see her hesitation and fear.

"whatever you want to ask, ask me right now. What difference it will make if you ask me right now or ask at night? I asked her this question with a desperate tone. I really want to know what she wants to ask. But, she is so stubborn. She said looking at me with a fearful expression, " Please, don't force me right now to ask. I will ask you at night".

I said with a disappointed tone" Fine. You won".

Saying that I again held her in my arms. She wriggled for few times but looking at my eyes she stopped wriggling.

She is looking in another direction. I can sense her fear ness. I held her chin softly and made her look into my eyes. But, still, she isn't meeting my eyes. I sighed and looked at her pink soft lips. How much I missed those lips.

I didn't waste any second and placed my lips on her lips. She closed her eyes and her hold on my shirt get tightened.

I am licking her lips softly trying to push my tongue inside her sweet mouth. She denied at first but after a few seconds gave me access to enter her mouth. I held her more tightly and started kissing her like a mad person.

Man!! I was missing her body warmth badly. For the first time she gave access to me, I didn't have to force her. and I know she did this unknowingly.

I picked her up in bridal style and laid her down on the bed. I can see her frightening face.

I asked her with my dominating voice," Are you afraid?"

She nodded her head in approval like a small kid. Her innocent face is killing my heart. I said softly in her ear," Don't worry. I will not hurt you".

Saying that I kissed her neck hardly. I missed her so much. I am kissing her madly leaving hickeys on her neck. I can feel her stiffness under me. I told her to hug me back and she obliged. I can feel that she is still afraid of me. Well, a little bit of fear ness should stay on her otherwise she will not obey me.

I am in the total mood to have her right now but a bitch ruined my mood. It's one of my maids who knocked at the door.

I yelled," What the hell? Why are you here?

Listening to my yelling voice I can feel devika is trembling under me. I know she is now hell afraid. I hugged her tightly pressing my head in her chest.

I said softly," Don't worry. I am not scolding you"

I am busy soothing my little wife's fear when the maid said," Sir, it's time for puja. Everyone is waiting for both of you. Even khurana Sir is also here."

I sighed and got down from the bed. Around her, I always forget everything. She is a magician. She always plays with my mind. I didn't waste any time and ordered devika to wear her saree quickly and I also went to change my clothes.

Author's p.o.v

Everyone is sitting on the floor joining their hands and praying for Abhinav's mother.

The priest is chanting mantras non-stop. Devika is sitting beside Abhinav. Ruhani ma, Arnav and Arushi are sitting together.

Mr and Mrs Khurana are sitting together. And Avantika is sitting beside Shivay.

Devika is closing her eyes and praying truly for Abhinav's mother. Though she doesn't know much about Abhinav's mother but she can sense that Abhinav's mother has seen so much pain in her lifetime. She can sense all this by seeing Abhinav's behaviour.

Devika is totally lost in her prayer that she didn't notice that a pair black eyes are looking at her like a hawk. Those eyes are looking at her lips, delicate neck, her soft hands. Moreover, thos looking at her with total lust.

After sometime when the puja is done Devika opened her eyes and found that Shivay khurana is looking at her like a hawk.

Seeing his intense glare she felt uncomfortable and sat more close to Abhinav.

eyes are

She remembered that party night when shivay was checking her out. She is feeling afraid and disgusted seeing Shivay. That man is totally shameless. Even after having a fiance, he is looking towards a married woman.

Shivay is smirking seeing Devika's uncomfortable situation. He is enjoying her fearful and disturbed expression.

This puja is completed and Everybody stood up from their position.

Abhinav said to Mr Khurana," Have dinner with us. After all we are all family now".

Mr khurana is saying no when Shivay khurana said, " Of course bhai, we will have dinner together. After all I want to taste my would-be wife's cooking," he said all this holding Avantika on her shoulder but his whole attention is on devika.

Devika is now clutching Abhinav's shirt from behind. She is feeling afraid of seeing Shivay's lunatic behaviour.

Arnav said sarcastically," dear brother in law, your would-be wife can't cook. She doesn't even know how to boil water. Our bhabi always cooks for us and her cooking is awesome." saying that Arnav looked at devika who is clutching Abhinav's shirt tightly.

Avantika gave Arnav a death glare but Arnav is still making fun of her.

Abhinav isn't understanding why devika is scared because she always scares seeing only one person and that's him. Right now, he didn't do anything to scare her. Then whom she is afraid of!! Abhinav's trail o thoughts is cut when Shivay opened his mouth.

"It's ok. My wife doesn't need to cook for me. She will only love me. But, I will surely eager to try bhabhi ji's cooking," Shivay said licking his lips and looked at devika with lust.

Avantika is noticing Shivay's interest in devika and she is becoming angry. She isn't angry with Shivay. She is getting angry at devika. She is thinking that devika is giving any type of flirty signal towards shivay. That's why he is interested in devika. She is looking at devika with full rage like she will kill devika anytime.

Everyone is talking about many things. Arnav and Arushi are teasing Shivay and Avantika. Mr and Mrs Khurana are talking with Ruhani ma. Abhinav is noticing Devika's scared behaviour.

He asked her holding her waist," are you afraid? Why are you feeling nervous?"

Devika isn't understanding what she should do. She wants to tell Abhinav that shivay is not a good man. But she stopped in the middle thinking that Abhinav might misunderstand her. After all, he has always accused her of twirling man.

Devika said with her timid voice," No. Everything is fine. You talk with everyone. I should go and set the table for dinner."

Saying that she left the area immediately. She didn't even wait for Abhinav's reply. Abhinav only looks at her suspiciously and with total confusion. He isn't understanding whom she is afraid of.

It's 8 p.m and everybody is sitting in the dining area for dinner. Devika is sitting beside Abhinav. Shivay and Avantika sat beside each other but Shivay is sitting directly opposite Devika and he can see her properly. Everybody is talking about random things. Abhinav is talking with Mr Khurana when he felt that Devika has held his arm tightly.

He looked at her confusingly and noticed that she is looking at Shivay with a disturbed expression. He looked at Shivay and found him talking with Avantika.

Abhinav didn't give any importance to Devika's fearful expression but he is happy that she is holding his arm willingly.

Maids are serving food on everyone's plate and everybody started eating.

Tasting the food shivay said moaning," Umm...I have to admit bhabi ji cooks really delicious food. I am wondering how much delicious is her body, "Shivay said the last part very timidly but Avantika heard him. Even after seeing Shivay's lunatic behaviour Still, she is blaming devika.

She thought with too much anger," This bitch needs severe punishment. She is trying to snatch my man. That day bhai should have shoved the whole salt pot in her mouth. Fucking bitch!! Next time I will not mix salt. I will mix detergent powder in her cooking and made her earn beating from bhai".

Yes, that culprit who mixed salt in the kheer is none other than Avantika. She noticed Shivay's behaviour towards Devika from the very first day. She is feeling too much jealous of devika.

After some time everyone is done with their dinner and returned to the living room area. Devika didn't go saying that she has some work in the kitchen but her intention is to avoid Shivay. She didn't notice that another person also stayed behind.

Devika walked to the kitchen and entered. A maid is cleaning the dishes and devika is setting them on the rack.

Suddenly the maid and devika both heard an angry girly voice.

The voice said," Rewa, leave the kitchen right now".

The owner of the voice is none other than Avantika.

The maid's name is Rewa. Having ordered from Avantika, she left immediately.

Before devika could say anything Avantika marched towards her and twisted back Devika's right hand.

Devika hissed in pain. She said trying very hard to free her hand from Avantika," Ms Agnihotri, what are you doing? Leave me!! You are hurting me".

"Tell me bitch, how many men do you want? Isn't my brother enough for you? Fucking whore!! With how many men you have spent your night? After creating problem between my two brothers, now your eyes

are on my man!! You whore, slut!"Avantika said with full rage. Her eyes are looking too much red and she is fuming in anger. She is still twisting back Devika's hand.

Devika couldn't tolerate this sever insult. She snapped at Avantika," First, control your man. Than accuse others. Are you blind? Can't you see that your fiance is a total lunatic who is putting his eyes on a married woman".

"you are signalling him with your dirty tricks, bitch. It's not his fault. You have made many men mad after you. I am wondering how my bhai is tolerating you," Avantika said putting more pressure on Devika's

hand.

Their argument is interrupted by a man's voice. The voice said," Avantika".
