Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Author's pov

Indrajit just returned home after a long tiring day in the office. Now he just wants to sleep in Srilekha's embrace placing his head on her chest. He walked towards his room hurriedly since he was becoming impatient to see Srilekha's innocent face.

Twisting the doorknob he entered the room and was welcomed by complete darkness. He thought he would find Srilekha lost in prayers just like other days but she was nowhere to be found.

" Little dove," he called switching on the light and the next scenery was shocking for him.

He found Srilekha standing in the middle of the room holding a knife. Her eyes were teary, red and furious. Her hair was a complete mess and her nostril was flaring. She was looking at Indrajit with pure disgust and loathing.

Before he could say anything she questioned coming forward to him," Where is my baby?"

" Huh! What are you talking about?" Indrajit questioned back sounding clueless.

Screaming loudly she marched towards him like a madwoman. She will just stab him when he grabbed her hand. A harsh slap landed on her face and she fell on the bed like a rag doll.

" What's wrong with you?" He asked and she turned at him shaking with anger.

She screamed at the top of her lungs," Bastard!! I accepted this life just to save my daughter. I did everything you ordered because you promised that you will never harm my daughter if I accept you. But in the end what you did? You thought to harm her! Tell me, where is my daughter?"

After hearing her Indrajit felt like she has lost her mind. For a few seconds, he just blinked his eyes to understand what she shouted right now. She has been held captive in this house for years but never talked to Indrajit like that. It's the first time she has raised her voice.

" Why are you staring at me like you don't anything? Tell me, what you have done to my daughter? Where is she? How can you hurt my baby like that? She is just a child!" She asked grabbing his collar tightly and angry tears continued flowing from her eyes.

Indrajit held her hands tightly freeing himself from her iron grip and barked on her face," Did I fuck you so hard last night that finally you have lost your mind? Why would I harm your daughter when you have submitted yourself to me completely? Heck! I don't even remember that you have a daughter. Why would I hurt her? I don't have any enmity with her!!"

Hearing him Srilekha frowned her brows and looked deep into his eyes. This time there was no menace in his eyes indicating he was telling the truth. She thought for some time and felt that his words make sense.

" That means you don't know where is my daughter and you aren't the one who is torturing her," Srilekha mumbled looking here and there impatiently.

Leaving Indrajit she started roaming in the whole room and mumbling something inaudible. Sweat beads started drenching her forehead and tears were already flooding her cheeks.

Suddenly, Indrajit grabbed her hair and asked suspiciously," By the way, how do you know that someone is hurting your daughter, hmm? That means you are still in contact with that fucker Sanjay."

A chill ran down through Srilekha's spine and she started nodding her head in the negative. A terrified expression appeared on her face looking at his suspicious eyes and she hissed when he tightened the hold.

" No, I am not. I don't know anything about Sanjay," She refused nodding her head but it was already late.

Grabbing her neck he questioned dangerously," Really, my little dove! Tell me the truth and I promise that I will be merciful."

" N....o....le...av...e.....me," She struggled while talking and felt like her eyes has started getting heavier.

Srilekha couldn't cope with everything anymore and slowly closed her eyes. Losing her consciousness she was going to fall on the floor when Indrajit held her tightly.

" Kalpana, call the doctor right now," Indrajit yelled a maid's name and the maid rushed to the room hurriedly.

Orni opened her slowly adjusting to the sudden light. For a few seconds, she felt everything unreal since the sedative was still in her system. She felt the strong smell of alcohol in the whole room and when she noticed her surrounding, she found a lot of empty bottles here and there. Controlling nausea she looked beside her and found VR sleeping next to her.

Looking at his face she remembered what has happened and automatically a horrified expression appeared on her face. Pulling the comforter close to her chest she started trembling. Suddenly, a sharp pain hit her legs and she groaned in pain letting the tears flow automatically.

Hearing her crying sound VR woke up and looked at her with concern. Sitting back on the bed he got close to her and she scooted away immediately. She tried to get down from the bed but cried out more loudly looking at her bandaged feet.

VR just stared at her for some time and felt uneasy seeing her crying like that. He felt that something was itching inside him. Maybe it was guiltiness or remorse. He doesn't know. Her tears were not settling very well with him.

" Umm.......You....i...mean....," He was shuttering since he wasn't finding any proper words to say at this moment.

Orni continued crying silently when he asked," Do you need something?"

" I need to use the washroom," She said meekly looking at the floor.

Picking her up in bridal style he walked towards the washroom and Orni looked at his face. She felt disgusted seeing his emotionless face and diverted her gaze in another direction.

" Take your time," He said gently settling her in the washroom and came outside.

Sitting on the bed he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Resting his elbows over his thighs he buried his face between his palms and lost himself in deep thoughts.

" What I am going to do now? How I am going to deal with Orni after knowing that she is Srilekha's daughter! How can I do all those horrible things with her that I actually planned for that whore's daughter!!" He thought mentally rubbing his forehead worriedly.

Taking a deep breath he mumbled, "God, why did you put me into this turmoil?"

VR was still thinking when he heard Orni's groaning sound. He rushed to the washroom and found her trying to stand up. Since she was putting pressure on her injured legs it was paining like hell.

" Angel, don't give any kind of pressure on your legs," He said with concern and she snickered with disgust but didn't dare say anything due to fear.

Reaching the room he called a maid and ordered her to bring breakfast. Then he removed Orni's clothes and draped a saree on her body. This time Orni didn't put any tantrums since she didn't want to see another brutality of him. Whenever he was touching her, she was feeling disgusted but remained silent because of the fear which he installed inside her.

" Where is Papa? Tell me that he is fine," Orni asked innocently holding VR's large hands with her tiny hands.

VR raised his head and his emotionless eyes met her teary eyes which were full of emotions. Automatically his eyes softened and he stroked her swollen cheeks gently. His eyes scanned her innocent face and the moment he looked at her quivering lips he captured them in a hungry kiss.

Orni was startled by his sudden action and tried to move away. But holding her face tightly he deepened the kiss pouring a lot of unspoken emotions. She didn't respond but still, he continued sucking her plump lips while his eyes were closed completely.

" Pl...ea....se......lea..ve," Orni requested between his gentle bites all over her soft lips and he let her go.

Pulling her into a bone-crushing hug he asked her," Why, angel? Why do you have to be that bitch's daughter? Why it can't be someone else?"

" What? I am not understanding anything," Orni replied wriggling in his hold but he didn't leave her.

Finally, Orni gave up and asked sounding too much hurt," You promised to not hurt me but you forgot your promise. You promised to respect me but it was another lie of yours. Why, Vijendra? You aren't the Vijendra I loved! Why did you turn out to be a monster?"

Breaking the hug VR looked at Orni with soft eyes when she said nodding her head vigorously," You might have married me and made me your wife forcefully but let me clear one thing that you won't feel the love anymore which I used to have for you. You have killed those feelings with your animalistic attitude."

VR clenched his jaw when she continued saying," And, finally you have lost that little ounce of respect which I used to have for you the moment you raised your hands on my father. Now, tell me where is my papa?"

She demanded an answer holding his collar and he answered with a defeated voice," He is in the hospital and out of danger."

" Can I meet him? Please," Orni requested desperately but VR didn't say anything.

Without giving her any answer he forwarded his legs to leave the room. Orni kept asking for her father but he didn't utter a single word. Coming out of the room he leaned a little on the nearby wall and started thinking about her words.

He was lost completely in various turmoil when he received a call. It was from a maid whom he sent into Indrajit's house for Srilekha's updates.

" What happened?" He asked the maid.

The maid whispered," Sir, Srilekha is hospitalised and I can't explain how worried your father is for her. Won't you come to see his distressed face?"

Hearing the maid a smirk formed at the corner of VR's lips. He felt soothing sensations inside his chest after a long time. He felt the sadistic excitement inside him after hearing the maid.

" Sure. How can I miss that entertaining sight!" VR replied and cut the call.

Smiling sheepishly he mumbled," It was just a trailer and you are already hospitalised. What will happen when you will see the whole movie?"

" Your Angel. Are you really going to crush her?" His subconscious questioned and automatically his smile vanished in the air.

VR gulped down when his mother's voice rang inside his head," Promise me."

" How I am going to be hard on her? No, I can't......No.....I can't........." VR continued murmuring and nodding his head vigorously.
