His Doll

Chapter 25- The Flame

After one week

Devika's p.o.v

My fate hasn't changed drastically. Still, I have to sleep on the floor. As Ruhani ma is here still now, so I

don't have to eat meat every time. But I am great full towards God about one thing that Abhinav didn't

force me to be intimate with him.

In this whole week, he didn't even talk with me nor he did anything to me. I am happy that I am not

earning beating anymore.

But, I am hurt about ma's behaviour. I can understand her situation but still, my heart isn't ready to

accept my mother's rejection. The whole week I have shedded my tears thinking about my mother's

rejection. Well, it's not her fault. It's my destiny that is too much cruel towards me.

I am laughing at my destiny that even after having everything, I have nothing. A husband who has no

care for me, a loving mother who has rejected me. Such a pathetic life of mine. My subconscious

always mocked me.

As ma has told me to adjust and I am adjusting. I will not give anyone any chance to insult my ma.

It's almost midnight. I am lying on the floor and there is no sleep in my eyes. Not because of the floor's

hardness, because of my life's hardness. Where is my life taking me, I don't know. What will I do in

future, I don't know. If I could start my study again!!

In this whole week, he didn't do anything with me. We are living under the same roof like strangers.

Should I talk with him again about my study? But last time's insult is still fresh in my mind. At least I can

try again. His insults don't affect me anymore.

"Don't beat her. She didn't do anything. Don't hurt her. Ma!! Don't cry! Hey, stop!! Don't... Why are you

doing this! Ma, I am here. Don't cry. Ma, I will always protect you. Please, don't beat her......please...

Please...

I am thinking about my life when I heard him screaming again. I am noticing this every night that he

become panicked in his sleep.

He screamed in his sleep with too much fear and agony. Like he is afraid of someone. Why he is

behaving like that, I don't know. After screaming for some time he became normal and again slept.

This is now common for me to hear his screaming. But tonight he is screaming too much. Should I go

towards him and comfort him!! " you shouldn't.he is a monster. let him suffer," my mind told me angrily.

"Maybe he is a monster but you are not. Just go and help him, "my heart suggested. Yeah, my heart is

right. I am not a monster like him.

Leaving every hesitation, I walked towards his bed and found that he is still screaming.

His whole body and face are sweating. He is nodding his head abruptly and throwing his hands and

feet everywhere.

Should I help him! "Why? Even after his torture and humiliation, you will help him?" my subconscious

asked me angrily.

"If I return cruelty against cruelty than what will be the difference between him and me. I will help him

because of humanity. He might be a monster but I am not.

I didn't hesitate any more and sat beside his head. I held one of his hand in my hand and with another

hand, I started stroking his hair.

I said softly," Don't worry. No one is here. No one is beating anyone. You are safe. "

He is still panicking. But, after a few moments, he became normal. I understood that he is ok now and i

should go to the floor.

I stood up from the bed when I felt someone has held my hand. It's him. He held my hand tightly.

He said with his sleepy voice," Don't go. Don't leave me alone".

Ma says that whatever he says, I have to obey. So I didn't argue further and sat beside his head.

He said still not opening his eyes," Sleep here with me"

Like an obedient wife, I laid down beside him.

He held me tightly in his embrace and said," Don't go anywhere. Always stay with me"

After one week I am again feeling his touch. This touch isn't any painful touch. This touch is like he is

afraid of letting me go. What if he always behaved gently with me!! What if he tried to understand me!!

What if our fate was like any other normal couple!! But, Such an irony. Everything just stopped on this

what-if!!

Our relationship is filled with too much void. I don't understand him nor he understands me. Maybe I

am not trying properly to understand him. Should I ask about his nightmares.? Will he tell me?? I don't

know.

But at least I can try. I will ask him about his nightmares. I can feel that he has buried too much pain

inside him. He is hiding many things. I have to know what's he hiding. And I will find out everything. I

am determined. If I want to make this marriage successful as per ma's wish then I have to know

everything about him.

Author's p.o.v

Agnish is still tied with ropes. It's been two weeks since he is locked in this torture room. And, That

deep voice kept his promise. He promised Agnish that he will show hell to Agnish. And Agnish has

seen hell in these two weeks. He was tortured so much that now the executioner has to check from

time to time that Agnish is alive or not.

In these two weeks, Agnish has been forcefully eaten musty food from the dustbin. As a result, he

started having diarrhea and other stomach diseases. The torturer didn't even give him proper medicine.

They gave him that much medicine which is enough to keep him alive.

The executioner didn't even give him enough water to drink. He hasn't showered for two weeks. His

own vomit is all over his body.

Insects are now crawling on Agnish's body. Because of the insects bites his skin is now totally

damaged and some of his body parts started decomposing. The most disturbing part of his torture is

that the executioner has cut Agnish's dick and made him a gelded. Moreover, his condition is too much

horrible.

Right now Agnish's eyes are shuttering and he is saying only one thing," Water. Give me some water".

" If you give me answer of some questions then I will give you water," the deep voice said.

" Whatever you wanted to know, I will tell. But give me some water. I am dying, "Agnish said with

difficulty.

" Then tell me did you know any Anamika? The deep voice asked.

" I don't know any Anamika. Who is she? Just give me some water," Agnish said with a desperate tone.

" You will not open your mouth!! Huh!! Ok. I have other ways to make you open your mouth. Let us give

you acid for drinking instead of water. Hmm!! It will be the best option..guards..bring... "The deep voice

couldn't complete his sentence when Agnish cried loudly and said," I will tell everything. Please, give

me some water. And about which Anamika you are asking me?

" Anamika Agnihotri. The same Anamika Agnihotri whom you raped with your fellow policemen in the

middle of the street. The same Anamika Agnihotri whose case you closed without investigation to save

yourself. Now, tell me everything from the very first that how you know Anamika Agnihotri and why you

did that heinous crime with her?" The deep voice snapped at Agnish with too much anger.

Agnish gulped down his saliva because of fear. He was silent for a few seconds.

Then he licked his dry lips and started saying," Anamika and I used to read on the same college. She

was my Junior. From the very first day, I had a crush on Anamika. But she didn't give me any chance

because she loved someone else. One day I proposed to her in front of everyone and she rejected me.

I became a fool in front of everyone. I couldn't tolerate her rejection. From that day, a fire of revenge

started erupting in my whole mind. I was waiting for the right time to take revenge.

One day Anamika was returning home from college alone. The whole road was empty. Using this as an

opportunity I tried to force Anamika but she was smart. She kicked me on my balls and left the place.

She complained to the police against me. As her father was a reputed person so the police took

immediate action against me. I had spent one week in jail because of that bi...I mean Anamika!! give

me some water. I can't say anymore, "Agnish cried.

" Complete the whole story and only then I will give you water," the deep voice said with too much cold

anger.

" My family was also reputed. Using the money I came out of jail. Because of that incident, my family

also faced many humiliations. Even my father beat me black and blue for becoming a shame on my

family. And, Everything happened because of her. The thirst for revenge which was already in my heart

increased on another level after that incident. My father sent me to another city. I had completed my

further study in another city and then joined the police with the reference of my police uncle. All the

years the hate for Anamika increased in my whole heart and mind. I was hoping that one day I will take

my revenge on her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

And, my prayers were listened by God when I was transferred here after joining the police. Here I met

Anamika again.

One day I went to a bar for some pleasure when I saw Anamika there. I was stunned by seeing her

there. I couldn't believe that one day I will see her in this condition. She was dancing like a slut. As per

as I remember she belonged to a rich family. But what's she doing here? These questions were

roaming in my mind.

Then I gathered information about her when I came to know that Anamika's father is dead and their

company is snatched by someone and she was married and had 4 children. I didn't bother to know

about her husband. I was so happy that her condition is that miserable. As she had no power at that

time, I thought that it will be the best time to take revenge on her, to show her place. That's why I raped

her, "Agnish completed his sentence and a belt slash landed on him. He screamed with pure agony.

The deep voice said with a crying yet angry tone," because of you she committed suicide. Because of

you, her children suffered. Bastard!!"

" She didn't commit suicide. She was murd....." Agnish couldn't complete his sentence and died.

His voice was so timid that no one heard his voice. The deep voice is still beating Agnish's dead body.

Agnish died without knowing who has tortured him.

After sometime when the torturer realized that Agnish is no more so he ordered his guards," Throw this

body to the piranha( a flesh-eating fish) cell so that no one ever knows that someone named Agnish

Batra ever existed."

Saying that the voice started laughing like he has gained something. After laughing to his heart's

content he said creepily," my next prey is Bhabani Gupta. I will kill her giving mental pressure which

she Once gave to my mother. I am eagerly waiting to see that bitch's vulnerable mental condition,"

Saying that the voice left the room.

At Night

At Gupta house

Today Bhabani Gupta went to the hospital for a check up as she wasn't feeling good. After her

checkup, the doctor informed her that she is having too much mental pressure. That's why she isn't

feeling good.

The doctor told her not to take stress. But how can she not take stress? Agnish is missing for two

weeks. She couldn't find any information about Abhinav's identity. Moreover, her life is totally messed

up.

Right now, she is sitting on her bed and talking with a man's photo. She is trailing her fingers on that

photo and saying," I still remember our first meeting. How you were seeing me secretly. How you were

looking at me with too much love.! My love, I miss you every day. You know, I am having too much

problem in my life. If you were here then I wouldn't have to worry about anything. Why you left me,

vivek? Why? saying all this she started crying.

Her crying is interrupted by a call. She saw the caller id and it's from an unknown number.

She wanted to avoid it but subconsciously received it.

She said," Hello, Bhabani Gupta is speaking".

The other person on the phone said with a deep husky voice," I know who killed Vivek," saying that he

cut the call.

Listening to him Bhavani started yelling, " Hello..hello...who are you? How do you know vivek? Hey!!

Tell me everything.... "

Bhabani is behaving like a madwoman. She tried to call back on that number but the number is off. She

is trying again and again but nothing happened.

Her mental pressure is increasing. She started chanting," Who was that bastard who killed my love?

Who? If I find him in my clutch than I will give him the most painful death."

Meanwhile, the person who called Bhabani sat on an easy chair and started laughing. He is swinging

on the easy chair and saying only one thing," I have set the small flame, now I am waiting for the

complete fire".

Saying that he again laughed swinging on his easy chair.
