CHAPTER 24

Please vote and comment it would encourage me a lot.

Vikrant's POV(past)

I went towards her and slapped her hard across her face. Though it was against my values to raise a hand on a woman but this human infront of me wasn't a woman but just a filthy piece of shit.

"How dare you to touch my wife with those filthy hands of yours. Just because I am tolerating you it doesn't mean you get the right to hurt my wife. I have had enough of you now. Just get out of this house right at this minute." I held her hand and pushed her towards the door I wish I could kill her right at this minute. I walked into the guest room which she had occupied since the past 3 days bringing all her things I threw them at her.

"Dare you enter this house again I will not hesitate to strangle you till death." I really don't know how I am controlling myself from killing her.

"That slap will cost you a lot Vikrant mark my words." she said and walked out. It was just so frustrating to bear her for even a minute more.

After relaxing myself for a few minutes I went to check on Arushi. Thankfully she had left the door unlocked. I found her sleeping peacefully and her fever had also subsided a lot. I sighed in relief.

"Just let me find Naina Arushi, everything will be fine then." I said peeking on her forehead.

While I was cooking dinner Praveen informed me that they had found Naina's location it was somewhere near Pune between some dense forest like area. He said his team would leave for the place in a few hours and he asked me to be there as well. Right now all I am praying is for Naina's well being. I cannot face mom if anything happens to her.

I was platting the food when Arushi walked into the kitchen.

"Arushi why did you have to come here....I was bringing dinner for you." I said because I actually was going to take it for her.

"I am asking you something? Are you feeling better now?" I asked and she chose to stay quite ignoring my question. She walked past me to the fridge and took out a bottle of cold water. She really lacks some brains. I snatched the bottle from her before she could even take a sip. 

"What the hell....give me the bottle." she yelled.

"You had fever this morning and you want to drink ice cold water....Are you for real a doctor?" I really doubted on her being one after what she was about to do a few seconds ago.

"Dermatologist." she replied as though that wouldn't make her a doctor anymore.

"Ya what ever even a Dermatologist is a Doctor." I said dragging her towards the table. I brought the dinner and we started eating in silence. I needed to inform her about going to Pune and not forgetting the warning that the bitch gave this morning I wanted her to be safe.

"I am going to Pune tonight for an event I'll be back in 2 or 3 days...You cannot go out of this house until I come back." I kept my voice as strict as I could because I knew it won't be easy to make her comply by what I want atleast not after the events that have taken place in this 1week of our marriage.

"And why do you think I would abide by your words? I m not your girlfriend to work as you say." expected.

"You are my wife."

"Wife....Seriously." she chuckled at my statement.

All I want is her safety I just want her to stay back at home for a day or two. I don't want more troubles now. Please agree to me.

"Please dont go out....I'll explain everything once I'm back." I said with a much calmer voice hoping she would agree and she actually did.

I made sure of Natasha not entering this building. I informed the security guard to not let her in or let Arushi out of the building.

It was early dawn when the police team along with me and Rahul had reached the place where Naina was kept. Praveen asked us to stay a little far as it could be risky. As his team went in I was just praying for my sister to be fine.

Few minutes down the clock Praveen and his team walked out with some goons and Naina. I rushed towards her taking hold of her because she was in semi conscious state. We took her to a nearby hospital in Pune as she had some bruises and scratches also.

After a few hours Naina was much better. She kept questioning me about who how and why they had done this. I did not want to create a family drama now when everything was almost getting normal. I said that it was some business rivalry and asked her not to tell anyone at home because somehow I had managed to hide all this from Mom. Though she had been persistent on talking to Naina I had somehow assured her she was fine and Mom should let her enjoy with friends and not disturb her.

The doctor recommended that Naina should be kept there for a night because she was weak so we stayed back for the Night. Praveen just called me to inform that one of the goon had opened his mouth and told everything against Natasha and they would arrest her next morning. Finally everything was getting in place. I cannot wait to go back home tomorrow and confess everything to Arushi.

Writer's POV

Unaware of the upcoming trouble while Vikrant was rejoicing the forth coming good days there was still some evilness left in Natasha.

One of her informers had informed her that the goons had opened their mouths and taken her name she felt like it was her end but she could not digest the fact that her end would lead to the happiness of Vikrant. Aware of the security arrangements Vikrant had made for his wife Natasha was planning for something really very bad.

Trying upon her luck she sent a man as a technician to plot Arushi's death. Luck went in her favour when neither the guards doubted the technician nor did Arushi try to cross verify with Vikrant if he had really called for one.

Vikrant's POV

Finally I was going back to my apartment after dropping Naina at home. Mom panicked when she saw bruises on Naina but we somehow managed to convince her that she just tripped down a little while trecking up.

The Police had arrested Natasha in the charges of kidnap and physical abuse of my wife. Yes, I filled a lawsuit for slapping my wife.

I rang the door bell again and again but Arushi did not open the door. I wonder why she isn't because the guard told me that she did not go out anywhere. I unlocked the door with the keys that I had.

The hall was empty indicating she wasn't there. I checked in our room and the kitchen she wasn't even there. Sweat beads started forming now. I wonder where she is. I decided to check in the guest room once. As I was walking towards the room my heartbeat was getting faster I could not understand why was I feeling so uneasy all of a sudden.

As I reached the sill of the room I was left shocked. My hands and feet felt cold. Arushi was laying there unconscious but what panicked me more was when I kept a foot in the room I felt an electric shock. I pulled back my foot immediately.

I ran towards the main power supply of the house and turned it off immediately. I ran back to the room taking Arushi in my lap. She was completely numb. Not a single finger was moving not even shivering with the shock.

"Arushi wake up please....just open your eyes once please." I kept chanting as I was patting her cheeks inorder to wake her up but she wasn't responding. Fear started eating me now.

I lifted her up and ran like a lunnatic man. My heart started pounding at a increasingly rapid pace. As I was honking through the busy streets fear engulfed me more and more. Just when everything was going right god had another store of problems for me.

"Emergency....just call the doctor fast please....my wife needs treatment....call the doctor fast." I kept screaming in the corridors of the hospital as I held a lifeless Arushi in my hands. A wardboy rushed towards me with a stretcher. The doctor arrived and started checking Arushi.

I stood outside the room with trembling hands and legs. Life was being so unfair to me now I only wanted a simple happy life with her but nothing was going in favour of that. With every passing minute all sorts of bad thoughts kept generating in my mind I kept dogging them hoping and praying for her to be fine. Tears were flowing down uncontrollably I don't know what bad deeds have I done to deserve all this. The clock was ticking continuously making every minute feel like a long hour raising my fear more and more.

After what seemed like eternity the doctor came out.

"Sorry Mr. But your wife has felt intense electric shock for more than 2 hours resulting in severe internal injuries and mental trauma. More than 70% of her body is paralysed and She has slipped into the state of semi comatose. She hasn't got a heart attack like it usually happens in these cases but still I am sorry to say that she won't be getting better anytime soon."

Nothing apart from the last sentence was making sense to me. My whole world came crushing down at that moment. Even the tears ditched me now. My head started bursting in pain like it would split into two.

I twisted the knob of the room and entered my legs just froze at their spot. She looked so pale with so many machines attached to her. As I was taking baby steps towards her my mind was reminding me of what my maternal grandparents always said about me.

"He is a demon a beast he will eat all of you. I am telling you priya just kill him or send him somewhere. You don't know how much of a bad omen he is right from his birth." this is what I had always heard from them and at this moment I could not deny that they were right.

I should have rather killed myself than hurting her in every possible way in the last one week. But just like she said I am a coward I don't even have the courage to kill myself.

I stood by her side staring at her lifeless body. I could not even bring myself to touch her because I knew I would only be hurting her again. At that very minute I decided to walk out from her life not because I loved her less to take care of her but because I knew she will never get better if this bad omen stayed around her.

I gave Dad's number at the reception asking them to call him and inform them and I walked out of the hospital to never return back in their life to give them more sorrows.

After a few days I had contacted Rahul. It was hard to convince him to help me hide but eventually he agreed. I kept in touch with him to know about everyone's well-being. And finally after 6 months when he told that Arushi was fine I was the happiest I wanted to see her hug her talk to her take care of her but I knew again I would only hurt her.

•••••

"I never wanted to do all of it I know I had been a complete bastard but none of it was meant to be so. Even now I hate myself for the fact that you had to go through all this because of me. I am sorry."

"Though all your actions are explained I still don't find a reason for you to leave." she said and walked away wiping a tear that was falling off her cheeks.

•••••••••••••••

So finally everything is out. Do you agree with Arushi?

I don't know whether I have justified Vikrant's emotions appropriately but I wanted to write a male character who is not like the typical stereotype. I believe men are more emotional than women just that they don't show it. Most of them feel men are outspoken but I feel they are the ones who hide most of their thoughts.

I hope you guys liked the chapter. Don't forget to vote and comment.

And why do you think Vikrant's maternal grandparents said so?

Keep thinking. See you soon with the next update.
