His Doll

Author's p.o.v

At Morning

"I am telling you for the last time if you bring that woman in my house than I will show you the actual hell," Abhinav said holding Devika's chin.

Right now Abhinav is getting ready for his office when devika talked about her mother to him. She wants to bring Bhabani here so that she can take care of her mother.

Abhinav is holding Devika's chin tightly and she is trying hard to free her chin from his hold. Tears have already formed in her eyes.

Devika said crying, " Try to understand. She is my mother. Where will she go now? You have returned our house to me. Thank you for that. But, If I send her there how will she live alone? She has just recovered. She needs care and her loved ones beside her".

Abhinav is less interested in Bhabani's wellbeing. Abhinav closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in anger. He is running out of his patience hearing Devika's words. She wants to bring her mother to his house. The woman who is the reason for his family's misery will live in this house!! This thought is making Abhinav mad.

He opened his eyes and said with a pissed off tone, "Just because you are carrying my children that doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want to do. You have many pending punishments waiting for you. Just give birth to my children. Then I will show you the real devil inside me for betraying, hiding Ruhi and Neel and now daring to bring your mother".

Devika said wiping her tears," She is my mother. It's my duty to take care of her. I have to......." She couldn't complete her sentence when Abhinav barked on her face, " If you bring her here then I will throw he away along with you. Send your mother to that place where you are hiding your siblings".

Saying that Abhinav gave devika a sinister smile. She understood the meaning of his smile. If she sends her mother to that place where Ruhi and Neel are hiding then he will obviously come to know about that place location and can harm her siblings.

"Divorce me. You don't have to throw me away. Just divorce me. I will leave you and go back to my house with my mother. Let me lead my life peacefully and you also live your life peacefully. If you don't divorce me then I will divorce you. Very soon I will send divorce paper to you, "Devika said angrily. Her eyes are now showing too much hate.

A slap landed on her right cheek and she almost fell on the bed on her stomach.

But somehow she balanced herself and said mockingly," You have raised your hand on a pregnant woman. Now, I am sure that you don't have any feelings inside you. You might have forgotten that I am carrying your children inside me. You are such a monster that you will not think twice before hurting your own babies".

Her talking fueled more anger in Abhinav's already hot mind. Abhinav leaned to her level and said clutching her both shoulder tightly," I will not divorce you. Neither I will let you divorce me. If I divorce you then you will go to another man. I will not let that happen. You are my possession and My doll".

Devika pushed him away and said with too much venom in her voice, "What do you actually want? Huh!! I am tired of being your punching bag. I am tired of your inhuman behaviour. I am tired of your psychotic words. Just let me go. Let me live my life peacefully".

Saying that she turned her face towards another direction and some tears came out from her eyes.

Abhinav held her shoulder and made her look into his eyes. He is looking at her intensely. He is looking into her eyes and found only hate for him.

After looking at her for some time he stood up from his position and turned to the door to leave the room.

Before leaving he said without looking at her, "This is my last warning. Don't bring your mother in my house".

Saying that he left the room closing the door with a loud sound.

"I don't give any shit to your warning. I can not let my mother suffer. I will bring her with me and take care of her. If bringing her here forces you to throw me away. Then, fine. Throw me away. I also don't want to live with a psycho like you," Devika said looking at the door.

At Abhinav's Office

Abhinav's p.o.v

"why this bitch Apeksha is still in Delhi? Didn't I tell you to transfer her from Delhi? I asked Omakara with a pissed off tone. My whole mood is ruined after my argument with my wife in the morning.

Omkara said with his professional tone," Sir, sorry for making you disappointed. But, DCP Apeksha Sinha has a strong position in the police. Her record in the police is very good with high quality. She has support from the upper section of the police. It's quite difficult to transfer her without any valid reason".

He completed his talking and I threw the paperweight in his direction. It hit his arm and he hissed a little but said nothing. He is now looking at his feet.

I said being too much pissed off, " Throw some money and transfer her from here. She has become a total pain in my ass. She is now interfering in my every business. Yesterday, she blocked another shipment of mine which was coming from Spain. She is after me like a mad dog".

Omkara looked at me and said, " But, Sir. I have tried every possible way to transfer her. But, nothing is working. She has a powerful position in the police department."

I pulled my hairs in total frustration and lit a cigarette. The smoke from the cigarette will calm my hot mind for some time.

I took a few puffs from the cigarette and asked Omkara, " And What about her personal information? Who is she? Where she lives? Have you found anything important regarding her personal life?"

I just wonder why she looks so similar to devika. Do they have any kind of relation!! But how it can possible!!

I am lost in my thought when Omkara said, " Sir, She is the only daughter of Naveen Sinha who is another business tycoon and billionaire like you. She was transferred here a few months ago from Mumbai. Apart from this, I don't have more information about her".

"What!! She is Naveen Sinha's daughter!! She is my business rival's daughter!! I asked him in disbelief.

"Yes, Sir," Omkara replied and I am now more frustrated. That bitch is Naveen Sinha's daughter. That Naveen Sinha is another trouble for me. A few days ago He wanted to complete a new project with me. But I refused him and insulted him in front of the whole businessman's community. After that, he has become my enemy and my rival in business.

Now, I am understanding why this bitch is too determined to arrest me. She wants to take revenge for her father's humiliation. I have to do something about her as soon as possible.

I am busy thinking about how to manage this DCP when Omkara reminded me, "Sir, you are out on bail. You have to prove yourself innocent in court about Rajendra Kumar's murder. Otherwise, they will send you to jail. How will you prove yourself innocent in Rajendra Kumar murder case?" He asked me with a slightly worried tone.

I said with a smirk, " You don't have to worry about that. I know how to handle this type of case. Kidnap Indrajit Raichand's son. The rest I will do".

He looked at me with total confusion and asked, " Sir, isn't he your business partner? Then, why are you kidnapping his son?"

I took a puff from the cigarette and said blowing the smoke in the air, " He betrayed me. At Rajendra Kumar's death, he was also with me. But, he has given his statement to the police against me. So, I need to show him the result of betrayal"

"I understood, Sir" he replied.

He knew very well that how I am going to trap Indrajit Raichand. I will make him the murderer where I was the real mastermind. Ain't I too much intelligent?

"But, I am not understanding how police found that record where I was ordering my men to kill Rajendra Kumar. Why my voice was too much clear in that recorder? I had never recorded anything. What do you think about it?" I asked Omkara frowning my brows.

I am really clueless about this matter.

We both are now thinking deeply. I am not understanding why my voice was too much clear like I have said all these words holding the recorder in front of my mouth.

I am still thinking when Omkara said, " Sir, I think the recorder was with you. Someone has set the recorder with you".

"What? I don't remember anything like that! Moreover, who will dare to set a recorder with me!!" I said surprisingly.

I am still looking at him when he signalled me to stop talking. I am seeing him with total confusion. He signalled me to open my coat. Though I am clueless about what's he up to, I am sure something is wrong.

I opened my coat and he took the coat from my hand. He pulled out a button from my coat and said looking at me, "I think I know why your voice was so clear on that recorder".

Saying that he gave me the button and I took it from his hand. Seeing it I become shocked. It's a damn recording device! Someone has put a recording device very smartly on my coats button.

"Sir, someone has intentionally done this to trap you. He set this recorder to hear your every planning, your every talk about your business and other things, "Omkara said making my blood boiled with pure rage.

I said angrily, "Who dares to do this!! If I find him in my clutch than I will preserve his hands for doing this mistake. What do you think who can do that!!!"

Omkara said, "Sir, as it's on your coat, so I think someone very close to yours I mean someone who knows what are you going to wear has put this recorder in your coats button. I am sure sir, he is the one who has given that record to police."

I tried to say something when he said, "Sir, as the recorder was in your cloth, I think someone who does your laundry and takes care of your clothes can do this."

Yes, he is right. Now, I am understanding everything.

I have to interrogate all the maids who do my laundry. Devika used to do my laundry but after getting pregnant I told her to not do any kind of work. It may harm the babies. "Don't you think it was all done by devika? She is the one who lives with you and knows everything about you and your clothing," My subconscious said making me a little doubtful.

After thinking a few moments I laughed mentally thinking that " Though she has become courageous she would never do these mistakes because she knows very well that if I come to know about her mistakes than what will I do with her. Moreover, she is naive. She didn't do this. An innocent fool like her can't do this. Moreover, from where she will find this type of devices".

"She has successfully hidden her siblings. Even after being a mafia, you are not able to find her siblings. Do you really think she is still very naive," my subconscious asked me making me question my outlook towards devika?

"Can devika be the one who helped the police"!!

Devika's p.o.V

Flashback

(I am entering Mrs Singh's room to talk about my toxic married life when I bumped with someone. The person might be holding some paper in his/her hand and the paper falls on the floor. I immediately bent down to collect the papers. After collecting the papers I gave the papers to the person. I didn't see the person's face yet.

Now, I looked at the person and become shocked. The person is also shocked after seeing me. We are looking at each other intensely.

The person is a woman who looks very similar to me. The difference is she is taller than me and looks elder. She might be Arnav's age. I said looking at her with too much shock, "I am really sorry. I didn't bump with you purposely".

She smiled at me and said with a soft voice," It's ok. It was just a small accident."

I smiled at her and looked at her carefully. She is wearing a police uniform and looking very confident. She might be any high profile, police officer. Her face is very similar to mine but she looks rough and tough and might be very straight forward. She is also watching me carefully from head to toe.

She said with amusement, "I think we both look quite similar. Don't you think?"

"Umm...yeah. It's very surprising for me. What a coincidence!!"I said smiling at her.

Then she asked me about myself and I told her about me. I just told her my name and where I read. And she told me that she is the new DCP of this town and her name is Apeksha Sinha.

She asked me politely, " If you don't mind. May I know why are you here? In a woman's organisation?"

Though her question was a little bit awkward for me but I think she is a nice lady. Moreover, she is a police officer. I can tell her why I am here!

"I am here to meet Mrs Singh. I want to talk with her regarding my toxic married life. I need her counsel," I said lowering my head.

"I am also here to meet Mrs Singh regarding a case. Let's meet her, " She said to me and almost dragged me inside Mrs Singh's room.

Seeing both of us Mrs Singh become surprised and she almost thought that we are sisters.

I requested Apeksha to complete her business with Mrs Singh as soon as possible so that I can talk with Mrs Singh about my matter. But Mrs Singh told me to talk with her in front of Apeksha. Since Apeksha is a cop she might give me better guideline.

I was telling everything to Mrs Singh and Apeksha about my married life. What my beast husband did with me. How he tortured me. I shared everything with them.

Hearing me, I can see Apeksha's clenched jaw and fist. She said standing up from her seat with too much rage, "Your husband is not any human. He is a monster!! "

I cried in front of her and she consoled me hugging me. Though we met just a few moments ago I am feeling like I know her for many years. I am feeling safe in her embrace. She is consoling me like a sister. After crying for a few moments I looked at her and said with my vulnerable tone, "I want justice"

She cupped my face and wiped my tears. She said caressing my cheeks, "I will give you Justice. He will pay for his sins for doing injustice with you. Moreover, I have many complaints against him regarding his illegal business and many murders. He is a complete criminal."

She said all the words with too much venom in her voice. I don't know why I felt safe with her. I again hugged her and cried loudly. She consoled me and said holding my face in her palm, " You have to be strong. You have to show him that you are not weak. The more you will fear him the more he will have satisfaction after torturing you, using you. You have to gather proof if you want to see him behind the bar. Can you gather proof against him? Can you?"

She asked me and I nodded my head in positive. I was always a weak and naive girl. But after meeting her I am finding some courage inside me to stand against him. I looked at her eyes and found genuine care for me in her eyes. I don't know why I am feeling that she is very close to me. I am feeling a pull towards her which I always felt for Neel and Ruhi.

I am seeing her with admiring eyes when she was talking with Mrs Singh about my case. After finishing her talking she looked at me and gave me her card. I took it and put it into my purse.

She said holding both hands, "I have given you my card. If you need any kind of help or if you feel that you are in danger than just call me on my number and I will be there. I will always protect you. Don't think that you are alone. I am with you".

Hearing her I couldn't control my emotions and hugged her tightly. I said hiccuping, "Thank you so much. Thank you".

She broke the hug and patted my head affectionately.

I asked looking at her, " Can I call you Apeksha Di?"

She said wiping my tears with a smile, "Of course, you can call me Apeksha di. You are my little sister devika".

Flashback ended

I remembered Apeksha Di. She didn't know me nor we have any blood relation but still, she helped me so much. I am very grateful to her. She helped me in hiding Ruhi and Neel. Actually, Ruhi and Neel are in her house with her.

She assured me that I don't have to worry about Ruhi and Neel. She will take care of them. She told me to only focus on our plan to trap Abhinav.

I was really surprised when I came to know that Arnav knew Apeksha di from before and I can sense that there is some chemistry between them. I have seen feelings in Apeksha Di's eyes for Arnav. And, Arnav also has a soft corner for her.

Remembering Apeksha Di a smile formed on my lips. I wish she is really my elder sister.

Right now, I am going to the asylum to bring ma with me. I can't wait to meet her in person. How much I missed her. How much I wanted to hug her. How much I crave for her love.

But, I am a little worried thinking that how she will react when she will not see Ruhi and Neel with me. I have to convince her. I have to make her understand that she can not meet Ruhi and Neel right now. She has to wait for a few days.

Author's p.o.v

Devika reached the asylum and talked with the authority about her mother's condition. They informed her that Bhabani is now fine but still she has to continue her medicines to recover fully. They also informed devika that, Bhabani needs care, love and support to overcome her mental pressure. The authority told devika all the guidelines about how to take care of Bhabani. Though she is fine, sometimes she behaved abnormally which is not that frequent. If she gets genuine mental support than she will recover fully.

Devika heard everything carefully and completed all the formality for Bhabani's discharge. She used to have no money but now she has enough to support herself and her family. Thanks to Abhinav's stupid planning to make her fall in love with him.

He gave her many properties to make her fall in love with him but she used all the properties to secure her future. How can he expect her love after hurting her too much!!

Devika is now waiting in the waiting room for her mother. She is sitting on a bench holding her big belly. She said smilingly looking at her belly," Babies, do you know today whom you are going to meet? You are going to meet your grandma. She will be very happy when she will come to know about you all".

Devika is talking with her children when an asylum staff came with Bhabani. Devika looked at her mother and her eyes get watered. She stood up and walked towards Bhabani's direction hurriedly to hug her. But because of her huge belly, she couldn't hug her.

Bhabani is watching devika without any expression and she understood that her daughter is now pregnant with Abhinav's child.

Devika said crying, " Ma, how are you? I missed you a lot."

"I am fine. How are Ruhi and Neel?" Bhabani asked devika frowning her brows. She is less interested to know how is devika. She is only worried about Ruhi and Neel.

Devika is slightly hurt that her mother didn't ask about her wellbeing but still, she is happy that her mother is with her. Devika said holding her mother's hand, " Ma, Ruhi and Neel are fine. You don't have to worry about them. I am taking care of them".

Though Bhabani doesn't like devika, she knows that devika loves her siblings very much and obviously she will take care of Ruhi and Neel. But, still, she wants to meet those children whom she loves the most. Bhabani asked devika," where are Ruhi and Neel? Why didn't they come with you?"

Devika assured her mother saying that " They are completely fine, safe and sound. Very soon she will arrange her meeting with them. First, Bhabani needs to leave this asylum".

"Where will I go? I have no house." Bhabani said with a hurtful tone. Once she used to have everything and now she doesn't have any shelter.

Devika smiled at her mother and said, "when your daughter is here. You don't have to worry. Just come with me. I will take care of you".

Bhabani thought mentally, "I don't have any choice apart from going with her. I can not even tolerate her shadow but right now I have to be on her good terms for my well being". Bhabani smiled at devika and said with a motherly voice, "I know. My daughter will always help her mother. I am lucky that I have a daughter like you". Devika just melted hearing her mother's soft voice. She said with her glistering eyes," Come ma. I will take you to my house. There I will take care of you always". "What if your husband doesn't like my presence there?" Bhabani asked devika with a worried tone. Because she knows how much Abhinav hates her.

Devika said caressing her mother's cheek, "You don't have to worry about him. I will handle him".

Saying that devika dragged her mother to the car when Bhabani asked devika, " You are going to be a mother?"

Devika smiled and said, "Yes, ma. You are going to be a grandma." Saying that devika looked at her belly with too much love where Bhavani just rolled her eyes.

"I have many things to talk with you, ma," Devika said holding her mother's hand and get in the car.

After 40 minutes car ride devika returned to Agnihotri mansion with her mother. She is looking very happy that her mother is with her. She has already told the maids to clean and prepare a guest room for her

mother.

The maids have already arranged a room for Devika's mother. Devika took her mother to that room and made her seated on the bed. Devika can not wait to share the news with her mother that their house is

now in her name.

She tried to say something when a voice boomed through the whole room, "What's this woman doing here?"
