Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Rudra's pov
I would just take a step when someone grabbed my collar from behind and said angrily, " Bastard, tell me. What have you done to my sister?"
I know this voice very well. It was none other than my sales saheb( brother-in-law). I was already under too much tension and now he! My heart was crying for my unborn child and here he was to give me more tensions
He held my collar tightly. No one dares to hold my collar. I spared him because he was my sunflower's brother. Otherwise, he would have seen his death already.
He barked in my face," What have you done to my sister? Why is she in the hospital?"
" It was an accident," I gave a curt reply freeing myself from his iron grip.
This time he started cursing me. Well, I was habituated to his cursing. He never liked me. And, when his sister refused to go back, his hatred for me increased on another level.
Right now, I needed some time alone. I was enough hurt for my child and my wife. Now, I can't listen to any of his bullshit!
I tried to leave the place when he yelled," You are the sole reason for my sister's condition. If you didn't marry her then I wouldn't have to see this day ever in my life. She has endangered her life by becoming your wife. My sister had no enemy then why would someone try to kill her? The bomb blast was for you. But my sister got trapped in all chaos!"
I halted by his yelling and turned at him. Somewhat he was right. The bomb blast was for me. My sunflower got trapped in all the chaos. She was unnecessarily dragged into my dirty business. My poor sunflower! My guilt increased on another level because of his words.
I tried to say something when the doctor interrupted," Umm, excuse me."
We all looked at the doctor with worried faces. I was only praying that my sunflower was alright.
The doctor said," The patient has gained consciousness. She is now safe. We have shifted her to the general ward. You can meet her."
Hearing him I thanked God. I was so frightened when I saw her laying on the hospital bed motionless. Without wasting any time I rushed to the general ward where my sunflower was resting. I can't wait to hug her.
Author's pov
Diya was laying on the hospital bed and watching the white ceiling of the room. Her hands and feet were bandaged. Her head was bandaged too.
Her face was holding too much pain and anger. Tears were flowing down her eyes like nigra falls. She wasn't crying for herself she was crying for her unborn child.
Yes, Diya knew about her pregnancy. She came to know about her pregnancy when she was getting ready to go out with Lavanya. She was feeling weak and threw up three times that day. Not only this, she wasn't feeling anything to eat. She was doubting that she might be pregnant. She was almost 70% sure that she was pregnant.
Then she remembered that she had already missed her period and when she checked using a pregnancy kit her doubt was right. She was pregnant.
She was too much happy. It was her first pregnancy. She couldn't believe that a small baby will call her mother so soon. She wanted to share her happiness with Rudra but stopped because she was angry with him at that time.
She thought that she will tell him when her anger will come down. But, before she could share anything God snatched her unborn child from her. She came to know that she had lost her child when two nurses were pitying her saying that she was so unfortunate as a mother that her child died in her womb.
Diya was mourning for her child and tried to sit back on the hospital bed. A nurse was there.
She said sounding concerned," Mam, don't sit back. You are still very weak"
But Diya didn't listen to her and sat back on the bed. Her whole body was paining. She wasn't feeling any physical pain. She was feeling only mental pain for her child. The baby was her first baby! And she lost her first child. This thing was adding more pain to her heart.
She is looking here and there and wiping away her tears when a worried Rudra entered the room.
He rushed at her," Sunflower."
He took her in his embrace. He kissed her forehead, cheeks, eyes and then her lips.
He almost cried, " Are you ok, baby? Are you feeling pain anywhere? I am sorry, my sunflower. I wasn't there for you. I am sorry."
He kept touching her with concern but Diya wasn't reacting at all. She was sitting there like a motionless person. She wasn't even crying as if her tears had dried down.
Rudra was still hugging her when an angry and worried Abhishek entered the room. Rudra was hugging diya, this scene boiled Abhishek's blood.
He yelled loudly," Leave my sister, you criminal."
Rudra didn't react to Abhishek's words considering his emotional situation.
Abhishek walked at Rudra with full rage. He grabbed Rudra's back neck and threw him to the nearby chair. With a loud sound, Rudra landed on the chair. This time Rudra couldn't control his anger. He was already in too much pain for his unborn child's death and now Abhishek was giving him more tension. Rudra stood up from the chair and held Abhishek's collar.
Rudra was going to punch Abhishek when Diya yelled," Don't you dare to touch my brother."
Rudra only glared at Abhishk. He didn't mind Diya's rude words considering her emotional situation. But, he was slightly disappointed by her tone.
Then Diya said something that made Rudra dumbfounded. He stiffed in his place.
Diya requested her brother," Bhai, take me to your home. I mean our home. Take me with you, please."
Abhishek did not understand why Diya was telling him to take her with him since she told him earlier that she had accepted Rudra. Though he was confused, he was happy that finally, his sister understood how toxic was Rudra for her.
Rudra asked loudly," What are you talking about? Why will you go with your brother? I am taking you to my home."
" I can't stay with a man who is responsible for my child's death," Diya said shedding tears.
She was blaming Rudra for her child's death. If Rudra listened to her words and left his illegal work then he might have fewer enemies. Maybe this attack could be avoided.
Rudra was flabbergasted hearing that Diya knew about her pregnancy. He thought Diya did not know that she was pregnant. That's why she did not say anything to him.
Diya's words increased his guilt in him. He never expected Diya will blame him for their baby's death.
Rudra shook his head in denial," Don't say like that, sunflower. I am sorry that I wasn't there when you needed me. Please, don't blame me for our child's death."
Diya snapped at him," You have thousands of enemies out there. Today one of them killed my unborn child. What's the guarantee that in future your enemies will not target our children? You love your illegal profession so much which is covered with many people's blood. I can't live with you anymore."
Abhishek was shocked when he heard that Diya was pregnant. He was already angry thinking that his sister is married to a gangster. He always wanted that he will marry off his sister to a normal and kind person. Not any gangster.
He was thinking that Rudra brainwashed his sister that's why his sister wasn't ready to leave Rudra. His anger at Rudra was now on another level when he heard that Rudra had impregnated his sister. And now his sister had lost her child.
Abhisekh never liked Rudra and now his hate for Rudra became stronger.
Rudra tried to convince Diya but Abhishek did not give him any chance.
Abhishek threw away Rudra outside the room," Didn't you hear her? She doesn't want to live with you. Just get lost from here."
At Evening Time
At Singh mansion
Uday Pratap was yelling at someone through his phone. He was talking to the DGP of the police.
Uday Pratap roared," Who dared to set bombs in my son's car? Find the person who is behind all this. I am giving you 24 hours, to find the person. Otherwise, the consequences will not be good for you."
" We are trying," The DGP managed to utter.
Uday Pratap threw away his phone angrily. He came to know about Diya's accident. He also came to know that the bomb was for Rudra.
He was glad that his son was fine. He wasn't worried about Diya. He was only worrying about his son. He started pacing here and there and thinking about how to punish the culprit who tried to target Rudra.
He has thousands of rivals in politics. Maybe one of them tried to kill Rudra. But, whoever it is, if Uday Pratap finds out about that person then he will not spare that person. He will kill that person for sure.
Taking a seat on the nearby couch, he poured a glass of wine. He was worried for Rudra. Though he was angry with Rudra, still Rudra is his favourite son. In his life, if he loved someone truly then that is Rudra. Uday Pratap was busy gulping down wine when a servant entered the room.
The servant said lowering his head," Hukum(sir), someone sent a parcel for you. A man dropped it in front of the main door."
Uday Pratap looked at the servant with confused eyes. He was wondering why would someone send a parcel for him. Moreover, how the person left the parcel here. Uday Pratap's whole mansion was guarded by the total police force. Even a bird can't without permission then how someone crossed the main gate area and dropped the parcel in front of the main door.
What if the parcel holds some kind of bomb? Thinking about the recent incident, Uday Pratap became scared and called one of his security guards along with a policeman.
The policeman held the parcel and without opening it he checked it carefully.
He said," Sir, the parcel is too much frugal. I am sure there is no bomb inside it. Either it is empty or maybe it contains something with light weight."
Uday Pratap was curious. What was in that parcel? He ordered the servant, security guard and policeman to leave the room.
Uday Pratap held the parcel in his hand and checked its outside carefully. It was wrapped with a gift wrapper. Without wasting any time he ripped open the gift paper and found a small box. The box's weight is really light. He opened the box and found some photo's along with a woman's nuptial chain and a ring.
His eyes grew wide seeing the pictures. Some memories started flashing in front of his eyes. He recognised the nuptial chain very well.
Before he could compose himself from the shock he heard a voice from behind.
" Dad!"
