Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Author's pov

" What do you want?" Sanjay asked VR standing up when VR's men grabbed him tightly.

VR answered very casually," I want to marry your daughter Orni."

" Never! There is no way that I will marry her off with a criminal and that too Indrajit Randhawa's son," Sanjay refused and the next moment his nose started bleeding due to the punch given by one of VR's men.

Sanjay's eyes got watery instantly and he requested helplessly," Please, leave us. Leave my daughter. She is just a child. Don't destroy her life like that."

VR remained silent when Sanjay asked screaming," What wrong we have done to you, huh? Let us go."

" What wrong my mother did, huh!! Why did you fail to control that whore of yours?" VR shouted on Sanjay's face and he didn't understand what's VR talking about.

Walking towards the couch VR sat on the it with his dominating aura. Crossing his legs he sat very comfortably and lit a cigarette. He started taking puffs from his cigarette while staring at the gun which he was holding.

Falling on his knees, Sanjay started begging," VR let go of my daughter. You will find hundreds of beautiful girls out there for you. Choose someone from them and leave my daughter."

Sanjay hates himself for sounding so pathetic for the second time. He loathes himself for not being able to save Srilekha and now Orni. He is feeling like a coward who failed to save his wife and now his daughter. But, why he failed? Because the law put on blind eyes whenever it comes to punish someone powerful like Indrajit.

" I have heard that you have a lot of debt on you. If you want, I can clear all these debts and make you a millionaire just in one day. In return, I just want your daughter, Mr Patel," VR asked Sanjay raising one of his brows.

VR asked this question to test Sanjay. He wonders why Sanjay let Srilekha go. Maybe he took money from Indrajit because he is a greedy man. If he loved Srilekha truly then he wouldn't have let her go no matter what.

Sanjay pleaded with his teary eyes," VR, Please, leave us. We are decent people. We don't want to be involved with you. I don't need any kind of favour from you. Please, leave my daughter. She is just a child."

" Think carefully, Mr Patel. If you refuse to marry off your daughter with me then I won't be responsible for any kind of consequences," VR threatened Mr Patel and he just paled after hearing VR.

Mr Patel tried to say something when two female bodyguard type women entered the living room with Orni.

Orni was struggling to free herself because those women have literally dragged her inside the room. She was crying non-stop and afraid as hell.

" Boss, we found her in the basement," One of the women informed VR and he just smiled seeing Orni.

Orni noticed Sanjay and yelled loudly," Papa......"

" Orni...."Sanjay said crying and tried to touch Orni when two thug type people held him tightly and instantly broke his hands and legs.

Sanjay let out an agonizing scream and fell on the ground. He started groaning in pain like a slaughtered animal. Tears started coming out of his eyes like a never-ending stream. He isn't afraid about himself. He is scared about his daughter's safety.

Orni screamed with pure horror and pleaded," Please, let my Papa go."

" Aww......you are so sweet," VR said chuckling and caressing Orni's cheeks. He rubbed his thumb over her lips and she just made a disgusted face feeling his touch though she was trembling because of extreme fear.

Sanjay groaned in pain and pleaded," Don't do anything to her. I beg you."

" Marry her off with me otherwise I will celebrate my wedding night with her right now. In front of your eyes," VR threatened Sanjay and he just looked at VR with terrified eyes.

Sanjay cried out in pain and yelled with his helpless voice," You can't do that. Please, she is just a child. Let her go. Do whatever you want to do with me. But, don't hurt her."

" Oh!! Come on, Mr Patel. I am not gay to celebrate my wedding night with you," VR replied sarcastically and his men started laughing after hearing his lame joke.

Mr Patel crawled towards VR and begged holding his legs," My daughter is just 16. Show some mercy on her. Please."

" Hmm. You are not taking my words seriously. Fine, then. Let's celebrate my wedding night with your daughter in front of your eyes," VR replied laughing and Mr Patel just stiffed in his place.

At the next moment, Orni screamed with pure agony when VR snatched the dupatta from her shoulder and threw it somewhere in the room. She cried out loudly when VR just tore apart one of her sleeves.

" Please, Don't rape me. Don't snatch my dignity from me. I beg you," Orni pleaded to VR with her teary eyes and he didn't even blink his eyes seeing her because he lost the ability to pity the moment he came to know that she is Srilekha's daughter.

He replied very dramatically tearing her another sleeve," Tsk...tsk....tsk...poor baby. I wanted to fuck you in my bedroom but your father wanted to see you becoming a woman. It's not my fault. I am just fulfilling his wish."

" Please," Orni pleaded when VR tried to kiss her forcefully.

But, before his lips could touch her lips Sanjay yelled," I am ready to marry her off with you. But, please. Don't do anything to her in front of a bunch of men. I beg you."

Saying all these, Sanjay broke down into hysterical sobs and VR stopped his actions. He just smirked hearing Sanjay and felt peace seeing him helpless. He wonders if his mother is happy to see these peasants like that!

On the other hand, Orni fell on her knees crossing her hands over her chest. She is trying to protect her remaining modesty in front of this vile creature. Orni was crying non-stop and trembling with fear imagining what will happen to her when this monster will marry her. She can't believe she loved him once!!

VR noticed Orni and saw how she was trembling with fear. He also noticed his men who were literally eye raping her after seeing her naked arms. VR clenched his jaw seeing all this.

He opened his shirt hurriedly and covered Orni's body with that. When he was draping the shirt around she didn't look at him nor she flinched. She was just cursing that day when this monster saw her.

Suddenly, VR's eyes fell on her legs and he clutched her hair tightly. She hissed in pain when he made her look into his eyes. His eyes became dark looking at her legs.

" You are very fond of dancing in front of men, Right!! Don't worry, baby. Just let me marry you. I will make sure you never walk let alone dance," VR threatened Orni and her soul almost left her body hearing him.

Then VR ordered the female guards," Pick her up."

One of the guards picked up Orni on her shoulder like she is some kind of potato sack. Orni struggled, cried and screamed to leave her but nobody paid any attention to her screaming.

" And him too," VR ordered his men pointing his finger at Sanjay who was groaning in pain.

***************************************

" No, I won't wear any of this. Where is my Papa? Did they take him to the hospital?" Orni asked when the female guards gave her a wedding lehenga.

One of the guards said getting irritated," Stupid girl. Wear it like a good girl otherwise, I will break this pretty little neck of yours."

" Papa.....I want Papa.......they broke his...hand.....Papa.......he needs to be hospitalised," Orni hiccupped thrashing her hands and feet everywhere when a beautician tried to forcefully open her clothes.

Getting annoyed by her continuous crying, one of the guards mumbled," Only boss can control this feisty kitten. Let me call him."

She stormed outside the room and very soon returned with VR. Seeing VR standing at the door, Orni ran towards one corner of the room to hide but there was no place to hide.

" She is refusing to wear this lehenga," The beautician complained.

VR ordered everyone," Leave."

When the room was emptied, VR started taking predatory moves towards Orni and she cowered. Clutching the ham of her dress she started nodding her head vigorously.

" I hate you. I regret loving you," She whispered and immediately shut her mouth because of the slap which landed on her face.

Throwing the lehenga on her face he ordered her," Wear it otherwise I will make you wear it in my style which you won't like."

" I don't want to marry you. What you did to my Papa?" She questioned refusing to wear the lehenga.

And, the next moment with an abrupt pull VR tore apart her dress making her naked. She started screaming when he forcefully make her wear that lehenga. In this process, Orni lost count of how many slaps she has earned from his iron-hard hand.

Orni is now lying on the bed on her stomach and crying her eyes out. Her lips were slightly bleeding, her cheeks were swollen and her eyes were red. She was hiccupping nonstop hugging a pillow.

" I told you that you won't lik........." VR was interrupted when she said loudly," I hate you. I want you to die. I wish God gives you a painful death."

Ignoring her words he called back the beautician and the guards. He ordered them to ready her properly for the marriage.

" Sir, if she continues to cry like that then how I am going to do makeup on her face," the beautician questioned VR looking at Orni's teary eyes.

VR has already lost his patience so he ordered them," There is no need for makeup. I will marry her like that."

After that, he forcefully dragged her in the mandap(pavillion) where she found her father. She tried to run towards him but VR didn't let her. Sanjay screamed her name when VR's men kicked into his stomach.

" The girl is looking like a child to me. Moreover, you are forcefully marrying her. Sorry, I don't............" The priest tried to put on tantrums but the moment VR showed him his son's unconscious figure, the priest shut his mouth.

The priest said shaking with fear," The auspicious time is running out. Let's start the ceremony."

Very soon the marriage was completed and the moment VR tied the nuptial chain around Orni's neck, her soul died. He filled her hair partition with vermilion and Orni just kept sitting like a mute.

***************************************

" Ahh... It hurts," Orni cried when the doctor started checking her broken legs.

The doctor replied affectionately," Don't cry, sweety. Let me apply medicine and bandage your legs. Your pain will go away."

" Won't I be able to walk again?" Orni asked hiccupping.

The doctor replied looking at Orni with pity," You may start walking after 4/5 weeks."

After marrying Orni, VR has broken her legs with a rod because she again dared to dance in her new school or more precisely he wanted to hurt her for running away and being Srilekha's daughter.

(A/N- If you have read 'Bitter Love'. You may remember the scene where VR broke Orni's legs).

Seeing Orni in so much pain, the doctor felt too much pity. Her heart bleeds after seeing an innocent angel-like Orni in too much agony. The doctor was horrified beyond the level when VR showed her Orni's broken legs. She couldn't tolerate Orni's pain anymore and thought to give her a painkiller with a sedative.

" Have these capsules, sweety. It will take away your pain," the doctor gave the medicine and Orni took it without any delay.

Very soon Orni drifted into a deep sleep and the doctor kept sitting near her head having a disturbed expression. Scanning Orni's tear-stained face the doctor couldn't continue sitting anymore and came outside of the room.

" How many days it will take for her to walk again?" VR questioned with an emotionless voice.

The doctor answered shortly," At least 1 and half months."

VR hummed when the doctor said," And, don't call me again for her treatment."

" Why is that?" VR asked raising one brow.

The doctor replied nodding her head," Because I am not interested to see a child going through hell. I am sorry. Don't call me again."

Saying that the doctor left and VR cursed under his breath kicking a nearby table. Liting a cigarette he started taking puffs non-stop. The moment smoke clouded his vision his mind automatically reversed at that day when his mother committed suicide.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching and yelled loudly," Is the parcel ready?"

" Yes," Akash replied and VR opened his bloodshot red eyes.

On the other hand, Srilekha was in the temple which is in her house. She was worshipping God and praying for her daughter.

Srilekha spends her time either in the temple or with Indrajit. Most of the time she would be in the temple worshipping God. It's the only place where she feels peace.

She was still praying when a maid entered and informed," Mam, there is a parcel for you."

Srilekha turned behind and found the maid holding a small box. She was a little bit surprised after seeing the box since nobody gifts her often.

" Who delivered it?" Srilekha questioned taking the box in her hand.

The maid replied sounding confused," Mam, a man on a motorcycle left it in front of the main door. I noticed a small token with that where it was written ' A small gift for Srilekha Randhawa'

Humming softly Srilekha opened the box and found some pictures. She stared at the pictures with curiosity and confusion. The moment she recognized the person in the pictures, her body started trembling and the photos fell from her hands.

" Orni......my baby........" She cried out falling on her knees.
