Chapter 53- Conditions
Author's p.o.v
Devika said angrily," I don't want that madman in my life again".
Ruhani ma held Devika's hand and said crying," Try to understand dear. His condition is very bad. If
you don't help him then he will become mad completely."
Devika heard Ruhani ma and she isn't even feeling pity for Abhinav. Devika used to be a soft-hearted
girl who always helped people. But, Abhinav's torture and her mother's betrayal has made her a strong
rude woman.
She said sternly," Sorry to say Ruhani ma, I don't care for that man. He has already died for me that
day when I send him into jail. If he is rotting in the hospital than it's karma. He is paying for his sins".
Saying all this Devika picked up Daksh who is almost crying for his mother. Devika rubbed her son's
back and he is now relaxed in his mother's chest.
Ruhani ma is shocked and silent for some time hearing devika. She can't believe that it's the same
devika who used to be so domestic and submissive.
Ruhani ma tried to say something when devika said rudely," you have come here to see me and my
children, I am happy for that. But, don't force me to meet that monster. I feel disgusted remembering
him".
This time Ruhani ma said," Please, devika. He will go completely mad without you. He is suffering too
much. Please, help him".
Hearing Ruhani ma, devika said with a hurtful yet angry voice," Suffering!! He is suffering!! What is
suffering called I only know this? Your sadist son used to beat me without any reason, your sadist son
used to scare me without any reason, your psycho son never asks my consent before using me
brutally. Can you imagine what I felt whenever he used to torture me!! No, you can't. You have also
seen your son torturing me. Then, how can you request me to meet him!! You are also a woman!!
Knowing all this how can you tell me to help that monster!"
Saying all this in one go devika started crying badly. She remembers all those painful days and her
heart is feeling heavy. Her beautiful fair skin and small pointed nose are now red because of crying.
Then, Devika said shedding more tears," your son tortured me for two years without any reason. He
used to call me by dirty names and accused me of whoring around which I never did. He never even
feel pity for me when he used to torture me".
Saying all this devika is now crying hysterically holding her son in her embrace. Remembering
Abhinav's torture her whole body is now slightly shaking because of fear and disgust.
Ruhani ma heard everything and she is also feeling bad for devika. But, her maternal instinct is still
telling her to convince devika to help Abhinav.
She said with a heavy voice," Devika, as a woman I was feeling contented hearing that you have sent
Abhi into jail for his wrongdoing towards you. That's why I didn't even come to meet him because I was
also angry with him. The woman inside me said whatever you have done was right. But, recently,
seeing Abhi's condition I can't hold myself anymore to meet you. The mother inside me is crying and
hurting for my son. Please, help my son. I beg you".
Devika heard everything and she is feeling pity for Ruhani ma. But, she is determined to not meet
Abhinav.
Devika said wiping her tears," you are a mother, right? Then, I am also a mother. Your son never
thought twice before hurting his wife. Is there any guarantee that your mad son will not hurt my
children? No, there isn't. He deserves to be in the mental hospital. He was not a sane human being
from the very first."
Ruhani ma is now feeling helpless. She can't see her son's misery anymore, on the other hand, she is
also feeling bad for devika. Her motherly instinct again forced her to convince devika.
She said to devika loudly," His condition is so bad that he doesn't even remember his name nor his
family members. He is forgetting everything. He is only calling your name and your children. At least,
for me meet him and help him."
" Ruhani ma, I respect you very much. But, please don't force me to meet that man. I am sorry if I hurt
you. Forgive me for that. But, remember one thing that I will never meet that psycho monster. I don't
have any emotion inside me for him. So, I request you to not tell me about him anymore," Devika said
in one go having a hard expression on her face.
Ruhani ma understood that devika will never meet Abhinav. She is now feeling helpless and a little bit
angry with devika. Her motherly instinct is now too much angry on Devika for not helping her son.
She said to devika with a hard voice," I never thought that you will become that much heartless."
" your son made me like that. I was never a heartless person. Your son made my heart stone just like
his heart," Devika said sternly looking directly into Ruhani ma's eyes.
Ruhani ma didn't say anything to devika anymore. She just silently left Devika's house with a heavy
heart wiping her tears. She doesn't know how she will cure Abhinav. Devika is calling her from behind
but she didn't turn. She is now praying to God to show her some path.
Devika's p.o.v
" Please, Abhinav. Don't beat me. I didn't do anything. I am sorry."
"Please, don't beat me with that belt. It hurts a lot"
" Ahh.....Abhinav...it's hurting. Please, let me go. ...my feet are burning. ...the burning coals are too
hot....please....let me go....."
I used to plead like that in front of him. He used to laugh seeing my miserable condition. He used to
raise his hands on me and slapped me so frequently that I almost forget that if someone slaps you then
you should react to the slap.
He has broken me beyond repair. I hate him from the core of my heart. Every fibre of my body hates
him. I will never help him to recover.
I respect Ruhani ma but in that matter, I can't help her. I have suffered enough. Not anymore.
And my mother!! She is another psychotic monster who sold a 3-day old small child to a wealthy man
for money and just because the girl was my father's daughter. And the girl is none other than Apeksha
di. She really is my sister!
A few hours ago she came to meet me and told me about her real parentage. I was obviously shocked
but I am happy that I have a guardian like Apeksha di. When I asked her how did she know about her
real parentage she told me that she will tell me another time. I also didn't force her.
She told me to live with her but I refused saying that this house is our father's. I can not leave it. I have
many memories in this house with my father.
A few days ago I used to worship my mother and now after knowing her true face, I am feeling too
much unlucky that God has given me a mother like her. She didn't just try to harm my children. She is
the one who intentionally tried to kill the Agnihotri siblings. I can't believe how can someone have that
much hatred inside her!!
I am the most unfortunate daughter and wife in this whole world. My husband tortured me and my
mother hated me!!
Right now, I am sitting in my room with my children. My three children are sleeping. Only Drishti is
awake. She is smiling and thrashing her small hands and feet here and there.
I picked her up on my lap and kissed her forehead. She is letting out baby voices.
I said affectionately," My princess, are you happy seeing mamma. I am waiting for that day when you
all will call me mamma and hug me tightly."
My children are the only reason for which I am still fine after enduring so much torture and betrayal.
After one week
"What is my Daksh doing? Are you want to be in mamma's lap? Is my Daksh hungry?" I said to my little
Daksh who is listening to me very carefully.
He is looking at me with his innocent eyes. He has gotten his eye colour from me and I am happy about
that.
Right now, I am sitting in the living room and playing with my little children. I am touching their small
hands and saying many things playfully and they are smiling.
Ruhi and Neel have gone to school. I was really worried about them after all those incidents. They were
upset too much. But Slowly, they are becoming normal.
After one month, ma's trial will be held in court and I am sure she will get her punishment for her
crimes. She has confessed her crimes in front of Apeksha Di.
Apeksha Di informed me that my mother is daily crying to meet Ruhi and Neel and she is now very
sick. I wanted to meet her but I stopped remembering her betrayal. Whenever I remember my mother
one part of me always refused to believe that she is a monster!! But alas!!
I am thinking all this and a tear roll down from my eyes.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and I wiped my tears immediately. I walked towards the main door to open
it. I am wondering who has come at this hour.
I opened the door and found Ruhani ma with Agnihotri siblings. Arnav is in a wheelchair, Avantika's
head and hands are still bandaged and Arushi is also bandaged in her hands.
Seeing them I am not surprised. I am sure they are here to talk about Abhinav again. But, I am happy
seeing them fine. I am really ashamed of the fact that my mother was behind their accident.
Last time I clearly told Ruhani ma about my decision but still, she has again come. And this time the
Agnihotri siblings are also with her.
I said to them with a slight smile," Please, come."
All entered the house without saying anything. They sat down on the couch and before I could ask for
forgiveness from my mother's side for their condition Ruhani ma said," Devika, save my son. I am
begging you"
" I have already told you about my decision Ruhani ma. Still, why are you forcing me?" I replied sternly.
Arushi said crying," Devika, please. Save my brother. I request you. As a friend, please help me".
I said lowering my head," Arushi, I am sorry for my mother's deeds. But, I really can't help you. Try to
understand. By the way, your brother is still in police custody than how can you expect me to live with
him and cure him?"
Hearing me Ruhani ma informed," I have requested to the DGP of police to consider Abhinav's mental
condition. After analysing his crimes, he reduced Abhi's punishment from 10 years to 2 years and also
permitted bail. Abhi will be out of jail until he becomes a little bit fine again".
I heard them carefully and disappointed thinking that he will have just 2 years of jail after torturing me
so much. I can't let that happen. He should rot in the mental hospital.
They all are requesting me to help Abhinav and I am refusing. I am feeling bad that I am refusing them.
But I am helpless.
Suddenly, Arnav said sternly," Your mother is the reason for our miserable condition. As her daughter
don't you think you should help us as redemption from your mother's side".
I become shocked by hearing him. He never talked with me like that.
I replied," whatever my mother had done, for this you can't blame me".
" I am not blaming you. I am reminding you that you have debt to pay. I went against my brother on
your request and gave statement. I helped you always. Now, it's time for you to return the favour. Live
with my brother until he becomes a little bit fine," Arnav said and I become too much shocked. He is
talking to return the favour!!
I asked him with a shocking tone," Arnav, how can you...."
" If you don't help us then I will think that you are an ungrateful person and selfish," Arnav said with an
angry tone. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
This time I am shocked beyond the level and can not refuse him. I am not an ungrateful person. If he
demands to return the favour than fine. I will return it. So, I decided to help them.
But, something comes into my mind. If Abhinav becomes normal and spent 2 years of jail then he can
again come into my life and claim his rights on my children. I can't let that happen. I will never give him
my children. They are my children only.
I asked them," So, you want me and my children to live with him to cure him, right?"
They all nodded their head in positive and I can see their hopeful eyes.
I said to them," Fine. I will live with him and try to help him"
Hearing me, they all become surprised and obviously happy. Smile formed on their lips.
Before they could thank me I said to them sternly," But, I have few conditions?"
Their smile got vanished from their face and asked me in unison," what type of condition?"
" 1- After becoming normal, he will have to sign on the divorce paper.
2- He will not have any kind of rights over my children.
3- He will never try to harm my siblings and me.
4- After our divorce, he will never try to contact me and my children.
5- He will have no connection with me and my children.
If you all assure me that he will accept my conditions only then I will go to meet him and live with him. I
will try my best to help him," I said all this in one go.
They all are looking at me dumbfounded.
Ruhani ma said," Abhi loves you and his children. How can you expect all this from him?".
Arushi and Avantika also supported Ruhani ma.
" If you are ok with my conditions than I am ready to meet your son," I said to Ruhani ma sternly.
They looked at each other's face for some time and I am sure they aren't understanding what they
should say.
Then, Arnav said to me," Ok. I accept your all conditions. If it's the only way to help my brother then
fine. I assure you that your all condition will be fulfilled. In return, you have to promise us that you will
help my brother".
" Fine, I am ready to meet him with my children. I promise you that I will try my best to help him," I said
sternly.
Abhinav's p.o.v
" Hey, why are you beating, devika?" She is my wife. Don't beat her," I said to a person crying who
looks exactly like me.
He is beating devika and devika is crying lying on the floor. The person trapped me inside a huge cage.
I couldn't come out from the cage as it's locked.
The person laughed and said sarcastically," She deserves all this and you can't save her. I will not
spare her."
"Please, don't hurt her," I pleaded joining my hands in front of him. But he isn't showing any mercy.
He raised his hands with his belt in the air to slash devika when I yelled loudly," Devika".
"Devika....." I yelled loudly and wake up from my sleep. I saw this nightmare again. I don't know why I
am seeing this nightmare again and again.
I looked beside me and devika is not with me. My children are also not with me. I become panicked and
started calling them. But, no one is responding. I started crying for devika and my children.
Hearing my crying and yelling, a person came in a white dress and scolded me.
He said angrily," You asshole!! Why are you yelling? Moron".
I said holding the door frame," My wife and my children are not here. Please, tell them to meet me.
Where are they?"
He laughed hearing my sentence. He said sarcastically," You mental. You have no wife and children.
You are imagining some shit."
" no, I live here with my devika and children. Please, help me to find them," I said pleading. I am really
worried about my family.
The person tried to say something when another person came and opened the door of my room. He
also opened the chains from my feet and hands.
He said," Your wife and children are here to meet you".
Hearing him I said excitedly wiping my tears," please, take me to them. Please, I want to meet them".
He nodded his head and took me to a room. I entered and found devika in a yellow saree. She is
looking too beautiful and as usual innocent. She is standing in the room holding a big baby stroller
where 4 small children are sleeping. My eyes got watered seeing them.
I ran towards devika and hugged her. I said crying," Where did you go leaving behind me? I was scared
without you. Don't leave me again".
I am saying all this but she isn't responding. She broke the hug and gave me a disgusted look. I don't
know why she is behaving like that. She didn't even call me by my name.
I asked her," Are you angry with me? Why aren't you talking with me .please, talk to me".
Before she could say anything I felt that someone has clutched my pant. I looked down and found that
my one baby has clutched my pant. I immediately bent down to my babies level and said
affectionately," Are you want to be with papa? Where did you all go? You scared me too much".
I tried to touch my children when devika said yelling," Don't touch them. Your hands are dirty. First,
clean yourself and then touch them."
Note- So, what do you think about Devika's conditions? Is she heartless or doing right?
Don't forget to share your opinion.
Next update will be a little late as I have to write. So, kindly be patient. Thank you.
