Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Author's p.o.v

" What's the meaning of all this, Lalita? How can your son refuse to marry my daughter? You promised me that we will join our families," Pratima(Priyanka's mother) yelled over the phone while talking with Lalita.

Lalita replied trying to convince her," Calm down, Pratima. I will do something to convince Shivansh. Don't worry. I also want to make Priyanka my daughter in law. Have some patience."

" This is very insulting, Lalita. First, you announced your son's marriage with my daughter and now you are telling me to be patient!!" Pratima said with her annoyed voice and Lalita became angry.

Lalita replied with her hard voice," Come on, Pratima. Don't you know me? Don't you remember what I did to become Satya's wife? Don't you remember how I got full control of the Raichand family? If I want something then I get it anyhow. I want Priyanka to be my daughter in law and it will happen sooner or later."

Saying all this, she sat on the nearby couch and poured a glass of wine. She is very irritated by her friend's continues bubbling.

" I didn't forget anything. I just wanted to secure my daughter's future. I hope you will keep your promise," Pratima said and Lalita huffed sipping a little bit of wine.

Lalita replied having a side smile," Don't worry. Lalita Raichand never breaks her promises."

After that, Pratima cut the call and Lalita exhaled some air. She started thinking of ways to convince Shivansh. She is wondering who can be that girl about whom Shivansh talk earlier. Shivansh never had a girlfriend before nor he is a womaniser. Then, who can be that girl? Lalita is thinking all this and becoming angry.

She is still thinking when a crying Lily entered her room. Seeing Lily, she became annoyed more.

" Here comes another one," Lalita mumbled and placed the glass on the table.

Lalita asked Lily," What happened? Why are you crying?"

" She snatched my man," Lily whined in front of her mother and Lalita frowned her brows.

She knows that Lily loves Kabir though he doesn't love Lily. And, as usual, she always supported her daughter's wrong decisions which made her a spoiled brat.

Lalita asked sitting beside Lily," And who is she?"

" Niyati Verma," Lily replied and Lalita raised her brows in a questioning manner. She knows who is Niyati Verma. As per as she remembers Niyati is Kabir's assistant.

After that, Lily told her mother about Niyati and Kabir. Then, she also told her about Niyati and Shivansh as well.

Hearing her, it didn't take an eternity for Lalita to understand about which girl Shivansh was talking. She also remembered the party night where Shivansh was continuously roaming behind Niyati like a lost puppy. A smirk formed on her lips understanding about Shivansh's interest in Niyati.

" Ma, I don't have any problem if she persuades my brother. But, I won't tolerate it if she tries to snatch my man," Lily told and started crying loudly.

Lalita tried to console her when Lily demanded like a stubborn kid," Ma, please do something. Do something to make Kabir understand my feelings. Do something that Kabir will never look at that girl again."

" Don't worry, baby. Your mother is here. I will do something very soon. Just keep your trust in me," Lalita said consoling Lily.

Lily stopped her crying and said hugging her mother," I believe in you, ma. I know you will do something, soon."

After that, Lily left Lalita's room and Lalita called someone named Billu. An evil plan came inside Lalita's mind.

"Are madam Ji, kyse hey aap? Bohot din baad ish naachiz ko yad kiya?( Oh!! Madam!! How are you? You have remembered me after a long time?)," Billu asked dramatically and Lalita just rolled her eyes.

She replied with her stone-like hard voice," Ek kaam hey tumhare liye( I have a work for you.)"

" Baash aap hukum kijiye. Farmaiye ish bar kisko tapkana hey? ( Just order me. Tell me, this time whom I have to kill)," Billu asked laughing like a fool.

Lalita replied smirking," You don't have to kill someone this time. You have to do what you like the most to do."

" You are very generous, Madam Ji. You think a lot about me. Tell me with whom I have to play my most favourite play," Billu asked laughing.

Lalita replied smirking like an evil spirit," I will send you the details."

" I will be waiting," Billu replied chuckling.

Lalita said," Just make sure that she doesn't dare to show her face in front of society again. Make sure that everyone spits on her. Make her condition so worse that she will regret of being born in this world."

" As you say," Billu replied and cut the call.

Lalita sat down on the easy chair and lit a cigarette.

She said blowing away some smoke in the air," You have made a big mistake by putting your eyes on my son, Ms Niyati Verma."

Shivansh's p.o.v

It's been 30 minutes since I am waiting for Niyati at the temple gate. I don't know why she is getting late.

" She must be caking herself with makeup. That's why she is getting late," My subconscious told me and I couldn't deny him.

This woman species is really something. They look naturally beautiful. I don't know why they apply so much make-up on them. I have seen Ma and Lily doing the same.

" Let's call her," I told my subconscious and took out my phone to call her.

I was going to call her when I saw someone is coming out of a taxi. My mouth got wide opened,  my eyes became round like potatoes, heart started racing a marathon when I saw the person in front of me. Am I seeing a Goddess?

" She is different," my subconscious said and I nodded my head.

The person in front of me is none other than Niyati. She is wearing a white saree with red borders. Her hair is tied in a bun and there is no stroke of make-up on her face. She is wearing jhumkas(earrings) and the bindi on her forehead is giving her the look of any Goddess.

" Shall we go? We are running out of the auspicious time," She said and that's when I returned to reality.

I replied winking at her," Yeah, sure. Someone is sparkling too much today."

Hearing me, she blushed and I held her hand tightly. I smiled at her and she also smiled at me. Her smile is just too gorgeous.

We worshipped Lord Shiva together and I must say it is the best Shivratri I have ever celebrated. I prayed to Lord Shiva for her safety. No matter what I just want Lord Shiva to keep her away from every evil.

" Where are you taking me?" She asked curiously when I blindfolded her with a small cloth and initiated her to walk with me.

I asked pulling her cheeks affectionately," Do you trust me?"

" More than myself," She replied with confidence.

I said dragging her towards the lake," I have a surprise for you."

I removed the blindfold from her eyes and she said with her astonished voice," Oh my God!! It's so beautiful."

Well, there is a beautiful lake behind the Shiv temple. I have recreated her face with Diyas(small lightning lamps) on the lake water. I wanted to surprise her but I wasn't getting any idea. After thinking for a whole day I came up with this idea.

" I can't believe you did this for me," She said getting overwhelmed.

I held her hand tightly and said," Flower, I don't know any cheesy line which flatters women's a lot. But, I can promise one thing to you that I will never leave your hand. I will be always there with you. I will always support you no matter what. I will be the shield for your protection. I will be the best friend of yours with whom you can share everything. I will be the gentleman whom you would always want. I will even sacri.........."

I couldn't finish my promises when she pressed her right hand on my mouth. I saw her teary eyes which are overwhelmed.

" I Love you, Shiv," She said and hugged me tightly.

I hugged her back and promised kissing her head," No matter what I will never leave your hand. I love you a lot."

Author's p.o.v

Orni is sitting on a chair where her hands and upper body is tied up with ropes. She is inside a large luxurious bedroom. The whole room is decorated with flowers and there are many teddy bears which are placed on the bed and couch.

She is wearing a red bridal lehenga with a red blouse. There is no dupatta on her body exposing a good amount of her chest skin and belly. There is no jewellery on her body. Her lips are cut and her hairs are messy. She is crying struggling very hard to free herself.

" Please, open these ropes," Orni pleaded with her teary eyes but no one is there.

After some time, VR entered the room holding a rod in his hand. He is wearing a white sherwani and his signature smirk is plastered on his face. He gave an evil smile to Orni and she got scared.

" How is my little teddy bear doing?" He asked affectionately kneeling in front of her.

Orni replied crying," Please, leave my father. I swear I will listen to your every word."

" That's like a good girl. You are very obedient. That's why I bought all these teddy bears for you. All these Teddy bears are your wedding gift. I heard that you like teddy bears a lot. Didn't you like them?" He asked caressing her cheeks and Orni nodded her head in positive.

After that, he held her legs tightly and placed them over his thigh. He started rubbing his palm on her legs very creepily and Orni was scared beyond level.

" So smooth. I am feeling like I am holding any butter," VR said kissing Orni's legs and she shivered feeling his lips on her feet.

Then, he held the rod in his hand and said rolling it over her feet," Dawai laya ho tumhari liye( I have gotten medicine for you)".

" Wh.....at?" Orni asked with her trembling voice.

" Bohot sokh hey Nah tumhe awara admio ki samne nachne ki? (Aren't you very fond of dancing in front of men?)" He asked with his hard voice and Orni gulped down her saliva due to fear.

She requested helplessly," Don't hurt me please."

" I won't hurt you. I will just teach you a good lesson," He said kissing her forehead and she became relaxed a little.

Her relaxation didn't last long and she screamed with pure agony when the rod was struck on her feet with full force. It didn't take an eternity for her to understand that VR is beating her feet with that rod. She screamed and begged to stop but nobody came to save her.

She became paralyzed and her feet started bleeding profusely when he stopped beating her legs. Her throat went dry due to extreme screaming. Her eyes are red because of crying very hard.

" Now, you won't think of dancing again," he said wiping her tears and laughed evilly.

Orni isn't in any condition to talk. She is just crying non-stop. She isn't feeling her legs anymore like someone has castrated her legs.

" Seeing your injury it seems like you won't be able to walk for almost three months," VR said looking at her feet with his scrutinising eyes.

She is still whimpering in pain when he said excitedly," That's good. I will be able to walk around in the whole house holding you in bridal style."

Orni heard him and lost her words to say something. She doesn't know how can someone be so cruel. She is just a 16-year-old fragile teenager and he didn't even care about her age.

Suddenly, she felt like her eyes are becoming heavy and she understood that she is going to lose her sense. Before losing her sense completely she said with her painful voice, "I wish one day I die and you keep regretting for whatever you did with me."
