His Doll
Chapter 34- Unstable

Author's p.o.v

Devika and her siblings are so busy sharing their sorrow that they didn't notice that their mother has gone to the balcony alone.

Bhabani is totally depressed, scared and delusional. She is hearing whispers inside her head and a woman's voice who is cursing her and threatening her.

She is chanting non-stop," She will not spare me".

Bhabani is now standing on the balcony and looking at the garden without blinking her eyes. She is standing there like a statue and chanting, "Anamika!! Anamika will kill me."

She is lost in her own world when she saw a familiar figure in the garden and the figure is none other than Anamika.

Seeing Anamika, Bhavani's eyes get widened and she started mumbling, "She is here. She is a ghost. She will not spare me. She will kill me!!"

Bhabani is chanting all this and shaking badly due to extreme fear. On the other hand, to scare Bhabani more, Anamika started laughing and just in a blink of an eye, Anamika vanished in the air spreading some white smoke.

This time Bhabani couldn't hold her fear anymore and cried out loudly. She started yelling like a mental patient. She is already a BP patient. And after all this stress her condition is now worsening. Hearing Bhabani's yelling Devika, Neel and Ruhi ran towards the balcony and found their mother lying on the floor almost unconscious and shaking badly.

Seeing their mother's conditions, Gupta siblings cried out loudly.

Devika screamed, "Ma. What happened to you?"

They held Bhabani and took her to the room. They laid her down on the bed.

Devika didn't waste any minute. She ran towards downstairs and found everyone having their dinner. Abhinav noticed devika and tried to say something. He is smirking because he is the one who told Rupal to scare Bhabani here. He understood that Rupal has done her job and Bhabani is surely not very well.

Abhinav almost opened his mouth to mock devika but devika ignored him and ran towards Arnav.

Seeing her worried and frightening condition Arnav became surprised and asked with a worried tone, "What happened? Are you ok?"

Devika joined her hands in front of Arnav and said," Please, save my mother!"

Arnav didn't waste any minute and ran Upstairs to Devika's room. He understood that something is wrong with Devika's mother because he was also noticing Bhabani's unusual behaviour.

Devika & Arushi also ran after Arnav and reached Devika's room.

Only Abhinav is still standing here with a smirk on his face. All the guests are looking at Abhinav with curiosity and questioning eyes. Avantika didn't care about devika so she is enjoying herself here. Abhinav said smiling, "It's nothing. Everyone, please enjoy your food. Actually my mother-in-law isn't very well. So my brother went to check her.!"

The guests didn't say anything further and they are now enjoying their meal. Avantika is busy with her pervert husband who is trying to find a scope to have a glimpse of devika.

On the other hand, Abhinav mentally said smirking," Now, it's time for the real game."

Inside Devika's room

Arnav is checking Bhabani's pulse and pressure. Bhabani's pressure is unusually high. Bhabani is mumbling in her sleep and panicking.

Seeing her condition devika & her siblings are crying badly.

Devika asked Arnav crying," What happened to ma?"

"your mother's condition isn't that good. Her pressure is unusually high. Anytime she will have a stroke. It will be better if we shift her to the hospital," Arnav said with a worried tone. Listening to him devika burst into more tears and almost going to fall on the floor. Ruhi and Neel held her.

Arushi said to Arnav," Bhai, I think you can shift Bhabani aunty to your clinic. After all we are all family".

Arnav nodded his head in positive and looked at devika who is looking at him with hopeful eyes. Arnav still has some soft corner for devika. Her crying is hurting him badly. Arnav didn't waste any time and called on his clinic's reception. He ordered his staff to send an ambulance immediately.

After cutting the call Arnav walked towards devika and said softly, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen to your mother. I am here. Very soon we will shift your mother to hospital.!" Devika said crying, "Thank you." She is feeling grateful towards Arnav.

For some moments Devika and Arnav looked at each other intensely. Devika's eyes are showing gratitude where Arnav's eyes are showing concern & softness.

Their eye contact is broken by Abhinav's deep voice. Abhinav said with his calm tone," No one is going to the hospital."

Everyone turned their head towards Abhinav and found him standing at the door without any worried expression.

Abhinav noticed Bhavani's condition and mentally said," Bitch. She deserves this!!!

Arnav said, " Bhai, Bhabani aunty's condition is very bad. If we didn't take her to the hospital She might have a stroke very soon!"

"Let her have a stroke. It's none of my concern. Take her away from my room and throw her away. The guests are already gone. I think my in-laws should also leave."

Saying all this, Abhinav looked at Ruhi & Neel. Both understood that Abhinav is insulting them again.

Hearing Abhinav's straightforward reply everyone become surprised and thinking how can he say that about someone's illness.!!

Abhinav is standing here without any expression on his face when he felt someone's soft hand on his hand.

He looked at the person and found a crying devika.

Devika held Abhinav's hand and pleaded, " Don't be so cruel. Let us take ma to the hospital. I will do whatever you say, I will remain your doll always but please let us take my ma to the hospital." Abhinav is still standing without any expression. He is seeing devika like her crying is nothing in front of him.

This time devika kneeled in front of him and hugged his both legs. She didn't bother to kneel in front of him. She has done this many times before.

Ruhi & Neel yelled with disbelief," Di(Sister)!!!"

Arnav & Arushi were seeing all this like puppets. They can't say anything in front of Abhinav.

Devika said pleading," I will be your slave for the rest of my life. I will do everything per your order and wish. Please, let us take my ma to the hospital." Abhinav thought something deeply for a few moments. Then a sinister smile formed on his lips. Something big is cooking inside his psychotic brain.

He held Devika's right forearm and with an abrupt turn he stood her up on her feet.

He said wiping her tears," Do you mean all of your words?"

Devika is still crying but no words are coming out of her mouth. Suddenly all heard the sound of an ambulance and devika panicked.

She said in one go," I mean all the words. Please, let me take my ma to the hospital!"

Abhinav said resting his hand on Devika's waist," Arnav, take my mother-in-law to the hospital. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law can go with Arnav. My doll will not go with you!"

Devika looked at Abhinav and pleaded, " Please, don't say no. My ma needs me there. How can I stay here when my ma is in the hospital! "

Abhinav said with a boring tone," I think you want to see your mother's death very soon. Didn't I say that you can't go to the hospital? I think I should change my mind!"

"No, no. I will not go. But please, don't stop my ma's treatment," Devika said joining her hands.

Ruhi & Neel can't believe their eyes and ears that their mother has married off their sister to a monster.

This time Arushi came forward and said resting her hand on Devika's shoulder," Don't worry. I am also going there. If you want to know anything, call me on my number using the landline. I think bhai will not oppose."

Saying that Arushi gave Abhinav a disappointed look. Abhinav didn't care about anyone. He is busy making every Gupta's life miserable.

Finally, Arnav, Ruhi, Neel and Arushi are taking bhabani to the hospital. Devika is seeing all this from the balcony and crying for her mother.

She is again cursing herself for not being with her mother. On the other hand, Abhinav also left the house for some work. He is planning something to send Bhabani to the mental asylum. Abhinav's p.o.V

That old bitch is now hospitalized. I can't describe in words how much I am happy right now. It's just starting of that bitch's destruction. Mark my words, just in two days I will send her to the mental asylum. There she will face more fear and mental pressure. It's going to be fun seeing that old whore's miserable condition. To make my plan successful I have already told Rupal about my plan. She has to scare Bhavani at the hospital also.

When Bhabani will lose her sanity and then I will send her to the mental asylum. I have also talked with the mental asylum authority. I have given them money to permit Rupal to enter. So that she can scare bhabani more. I will make her mentally unstable for four months.

My ma was also mentally unstable for four months. So, it's time for Bhavani to feel the same pain that my mother felt once.

I still remember those times when ma used to behave abnormally. After his leaving, my ma became mentally depressed and unstable. For her medical expenses, I used to work as a servant at one of our neighbours' house.

I was struggling to bear all those medical expenses of my ma. One day I stole one of my neighbours gold necklace for my mother's treatment.

For this crime, my neighbour punished me by forcing me to lay down on the street fully naked under the burning Sun. I was 13 years old at that time. That lady didn't show any mercy. She burned my fingers for stealing.

That humiliation and horrible memories are still fresh in my mind which gives me immense pain inside my mind and heart both.

Flashback

(Ma, why are you sitting in the darkness? Where is Arushi, Pranav and Avantika? I asked ma entering into her room.

Her room's light is off. I turned on the light and found her lying on the floor and chanting something.

I walked towards her and said touching her cheek," Ma, why are you lying here? What happened? Please, don't cry."

Ma didn't answer any of my questions. She is staring at some paper and crying. I don't know what kind of paper is this.

Suddenly ma started shaking me holding my both shoulder. She said crying," She snatched everything from me, Abhi. She is a witch."

I don't know whom she is talking about. I asked her holding her in my embrace, "Whom are you talking about? Who snatched everything from us?" Ma said crying," That Bhabani Gupta. That witch!!"

Ma started behaving unusually. Sometimes she is crying, sometimes she is laughing. She is pulling her hairs with too much force and cursing everybody.

Seeing her unusual behaviour I became afraid and cried out loudly. My siblings were in another room. They ran towards ma's room and found her behaving unusually. We all started crying for our mother. Our neighbour Rafiq Durrani was a good man. He came to our house hearing our cries. He saw my mother's condition and took her to the hospital. There the doctor said that because of mental trauma she is behaving like a mad person. Without treatment, she will go completely mad.

Our financial condition wasn't that good. To support my family I started working at my neighbours' house and delivering newspapers. My mother was mentally unstable and depressed for almost 4 months. Those 4 months I was the only earning member of my family. I have done many types of odd jobs like swipers job, washing sewerage lines and drains.

After 4 months my mother started becoming normal slowly. But she couldn't get over those mental traumas permanently)

Flashback Ended

After 4 months of that bitch's suffering I will treat her with all the modern treatment and make her stable. In this whole four-month, her children will see the worst side of me.

After being stable, when she will see that her every child is struggling to survive in this world than she will feel how I felt all the time. After my mother's death... No.. No...my mother's murder our condition became worst. I was fucking 15 years old when I had to take responsibility of a whole family!! My childhood was totally disturbed by all the chaos which that bitch created.

Last but not least the cruellest punishment of her is still pending. Seeing her elder daughter being thrown away on the road and her death. I will give her those punishments slowly after breaking her and her children.

Thinking all this my heart is feeling another kind of satisfaction Right now, I am going to Arnav's hospital where my dear mother-in-law is kept. When she will become mad and lose her sanity this scene will be the best scene for me. How can I miss it!! It will be fun.

After 3 days

"Abhinav, Ma is in a mental asylum. There is no guardian for Ruhi & Neel. Please, let them stay here at our house. They are just a teenage boy and girl. Without any guardian how will they survive out there," Devika is continuously pleading in front of Abhinav who is sipping his coffee and reading a newspaper? He is now sitting on the couch like a king inside his room.

Devika is sitting on the floor near his feet. She is trying very hard to convince her siblings that they will face difficulties out there without any Guardian.

Abhinav has kept his promise. Just in two days he has made Bhavani completely mad and sent her to the mental asylum.

Right now, Abhinav is completely ignoring devika. Devika's talking isn't affecting him. After finishing his coffee he stood up to leave the room but devika isn't letting him. Like a lost puppy she is following him and pleading him to give permission about Ruhi & Neel's staying.

After 20 minutes of Devika's crying and pleading, Abhinav said with a boring tone," Fine. They can stay here.!"

Hearing him devika wiped her tears and said holding his hand, "Thank you so much. Thank you."

"But, they will stay in the servants quarter and will work as servants in my house. If you agree with this condition only then they can stay here", Abhinav said dropping water on Devika's hope.

Devika couldn't believe her ears. She is thinking, "How can someone be so cruel?"

"They are my siblings. How can you say that? Don't they have any self-respect? Why are you making our life miserable?" Devika yelled loudly making Abhinav's ear ringing.

A sharp slap landed on her cheek making her eyes more watered. Abhinav clutched her hairs with one hand and grabbed her chin with another, "Always keep low your voice. Otherwise, I will cut that tongue of yours and make you feed it."

Devika is hissing in pain and crying. Her eyes are now paining because of extreme crying. Devika said removing Abhinav's hand from her chin," I don't know what's your enmity with us. But please, don't be so cruel. They are still young. Let them stay here with me!"

"I was also young like them. What was my fault to see the cruelty of this World? What was my siblings' fault to endure people's insult and extreme humiliation? Everything happened because of your mother and that bastard uncle of yours. Your whole family will see those horrors which I have seen," Abhinav barked on Devika's face making her flinch.

She understood that it will be a futile attempt to convince this psycho. He has again started his bubbling which devika didn't understand. Without accepting his condition there is nothing she can do.

Moreover, it will be a better option for her siblings to stay with her rather than staying at any kind of slum.

Devika said looking down," Fine. They will stay here as servants. But, please give them shelter." Defeat is clearly audible in her voice.

Abhinav smirked and said patting her head like she is any kind of child," Finally you decided something using your brain!"

At Night

Devika's p.o.V

"Di, you don't have to worry about us. we are fine" Ruhi & Neel said holding my hands.

I didn't say anything. I am feeling too much vulnerable. My mother is in mental asylum and suffering alone. I am wondering how she is doing! Is she ok! Are they feeding her properly! Are they taking care of!! These questions are making my heart heavier. I don't understand how ma become mad suddenly. She was completely fine. Then, how she becomes mentally unstable. My whole family is suffering and Abhinav is making our life more worse.

As per his order, Ruhi & Neel have to live with the servants. So, I am here to show Ruhi and Neel the servants quarter. When I told them that they have to work as servants they become stiff in their place. They couldn't believe that how can someone be so cruel to behave like that with the relatives.!!

I am a total failure as a sister. I can't even manage some proper hospitality for my brother and sister. Though they are not saying anything but I can understand how much they are feeling ashamed. They are helpless. They can't do anything. Even I can't do anything. Being too much helpless, they have to agree with his all conditions.

I wanted to run away from here with my siblings. But, where will I go after running away from here? I have no guardian with me. Who will give shelter to me?

Moreover, Abhinav will not spare me if I step out of the house. If I try anything stupid than he will not hesitate to cut my legs. My life is now totally messed up. Everything is feeling painful for me.

After settling Ruhi & Neel to the servants quarter I have to go to my room. I am not feeling well. I need some rest.

Everything is too much for me. I am only praying desperately one thing to God to make my mother normal. I want to hug her and tell her how much I love her. I also want to apologise to her for my indifferent behaviour.

I am thinking about all this and walking towards my room. I am walking without seeing anything properly.

Now, I am crossing Avantika's room when someone held my right hand and pushed me into the room.

The sudden touch made me startled and seeing the person I become shocked and afraid. It's none other than Shivay.

Avantika and her pervert husband are still staying here. Avantika wanted to spend some time with her family. I understand her wish but that pervert is also not Leaving this house.

I almost yelled loudly freeing my hand, "What the hell!! Why did you push me here? Let me go. Otherwise, I will scream.!!"

That pervert said seductively," Bhabi ji, don't be so cruel with me. Let me fuck you for once. I promise you that you will like my fucking.!!"

Note- So, what do you think? What will happen next? What will be Abhinav's reaction when he will come to know about Shivay's behaviour with Devika?☐☐☐☐☐
