Chapter 60: Chapter 60

Author's pov

While everyone was searching for Shivansh at every corner of this city, Niyati was getting suspicious about VR whom she knows as Ranvijay. She found some of Orni's portraits in VR's art room.

She was shocked to know that Orni was VR's wife. When she asked him about Orni, he again lied to her saying that his wife died in an accident. Niyati went to meet Orni and there she was confirmed that VR has been lying to her all the time.

Niyati's continuous questioning increased suspicion in VR's mind about Orni. He was wondering why Niyati was suddenly asking him about Orni. Moreover, he saw some pictures of Orni when Neela introduced him to her friends Roman & Rion. Those pictures were taken from behind and that's why he couldn't see her face.

His suspicion reached its peak when he noticed that recently Niyati had been going to meet someone at an orphanage. Then, Roman & Rion's mother's name is Orchi which is very close to the name Orni. Everything was just telling him that something was wrong and he was missing something. After thinking for a long time he decided to go to the orphanage to see what Niyati discovered recently that she started questioning him.

VR reached the orphanage and the guard wasn't letting him enter. Since he was a stranger, the guard didn't let him enter for safety reasons.

" I will just meet the girl Orchi and then I will leave. Let me enter," VR insisted but the guard didn't even spare any glance at him.

VR was running out of patience but somehow he controlled himself and said," Niyati Mehra send me to meet Orchi."

" Why are you bothering, Mr? I don't care who sent you. You are a stranger so I can't let you pass. The authority will throw me out if I let a stranger pass," The guard replied and VR clenched his jaw.

Then, VR rested one hand over the guard's shoulder and took out some cash from his pocket. He rubbed the notes on the guard's face very dramatically making him nervous.

" Have you ever seen that much money at once?" VR whispered in the guard's ear very dramatically.

The guard replied trying to act honest," You can't lure me wit..................."

" Now?" VR asked adding a few more notes.

This time, the guard moved away from the gate and said," You can enter. Just don't let the authority know."

" Silly boy. Don't worry," VR answered very sarcastically and put the notes inside the guard's pocket.

Entering the orphanage, VR felt like he has entered a maze. The orphanage was so huge that he wasn't understanding where he should go. He thought to ask someone but the fear of getting caught didn't let him ask someone.

Suddenly, he noticed a girl whose age wouldn't be more than eight. He thought to ask this girl about Orchi.

" Hi, dear. Can you tell me where is Orchi? Do you know her? I am her friend and I want to meet her. It's urgent," VR asked the girl having a smiley face.

Being an innocent child, the girl replied truthfully," Oh!! Orchi aunty. She is in the garden."

" Can you take me there, please?" VR requested.

The girl didn't say anything further and started walking. VR followed her silently and after 2 minutes of walking, they reached the garden.

" There she is," The girl pointed her finger to a young girl who was back-facing them from a great distance.

VR thanked the girl and then started walking towards the unknown girl. Getting closer he noticed two little boys who are twins and playing with a ball. It didn't take much time for him to recognize the boys because he has met them earlier. They are none other than Roman and Rion. An affectionate smile formed on VR's face seeing the boys.

" Roman, throw the ball at me and I will show you how to be a good bowler," The girl said loudly and VR rooted in his place hearing the voice.

He skipped his heartbeat frequently and sweat beads started forming on his forehead. A chill ran down his spine making him numb completely. He couldn't believe whose voice he has heard just now. He felt goosebumps all over his body hearing the voice.

The girl again said loudly," Rion, baby. Hold the bat properly."

This time VR was so shocked that he couldn't react. He just continued standing like a statue. His whole body turned cold and for a few seconds, he couldn't breathe. He noticed the girl's backside carefully and tried to say something. But, no word came out of his mouth because of shock.

After a few seconds, he composed his shocked state and walked toward the girl. He stood right behind the girl who was still instructing the boys about ball & bat. The boys noticed the intruder and looked at him with curious eyes.

" Angel," Ranvijay whispered from behind and the girl became a statue.

A fearful expression appeared on her face and the earth around her stopped spinning just after hearing the voice. She gulped down her saliva nervously and her palms started sweating profusely. Her body started shaking uncontrollably just hearing the voice.

A whimper left Orni's mouth and she stumbled back when she turned her face behind. Seeing her nightmare right in front of her eyes she felt like the ground under her feet has moved away. She started crying and taking steps backwards looking at VR.

" My angel is alive. Angel!! Where have you been? How could you leave me alone like that?" VR asked with his overwhelmed voice pulling Orni into a tight hug. He closed his eyes in peace feeling her after a long time. He can't describe in words how much happy he is after seeing her alive.

Orni pushed him away from her when the kids asked clutching her waist tightly," Mumma, do you know this uncle?"

"Mumma!!" VR mumbled confusingly looking at the boys.

Orni didn't reply to her kids. She whispered something in their ears and they ran away without any delay. When the kids left Orni looked at VR with scared yet angry eyes.

She asked with her trembling voice," What do you want?"

" Of course. I want you, Angel," VR answered honestly and grabbed Orni's shoulder.

Orni started wriggling in his arms and requested him to leave her alone. She punched his chest with her tiny fist but he didn't leave her. Instead, he tightened his hold around her shoulder.

VR told Orni with a very affectionate voice," Enough of staying away, angel. Come with me now. I promise that this time I won't fail you."

" I won't go with you. You are a beast. A devil. You played with my feelings and used me as a tool," Orni screamed on his face and started wriggling more.

VR said trying to convince her," Angel, I am so sorry. Please, forgive me."

" Leave me. Please, I request you. Leave me alone. After taking away everything from me what more do you want?" Orni asked in her shaky voice and tears were flowing from her eyes nonstop.

VR tried to apologize more when a lady voice echoed through the whole area like a thunderstorm making the duo startled.

The voice ordered angrily," Leave the girl."

Ranvijay turned behind and Orni looked at the person with hopeful eyes. Without wasting any time she ran towards the lady and hugged her tightly. The lady also hugged her back and started consoling the poor girl.

On the other hand, VR was shocked and petrified after seeing the lady. He understood that he is going to be exposed very soon.

" Niyati," Ranvijay mumbled looking at Niyati who was already looking at him with burning eyes.

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

Shivansh was laying in the hospital bed with his bandaged abdomen. He didn't die. Without finishing VR's game how can he die? He was determined that without sending VR behind the bars he won't keep quiet. He was discussing about VR with his detective friend Advesh.

" There is no way to prove that Ranvijay is VR," Advesh said.

Shivansh shot back," No, Advesh. We have to prove that Ranvijay is VR. This bastard should be behind the bars not with my family or Orni. You have to find out someone who is from the past and knows VR."

" I am not finding someone like that," Advesh replied.

Letting out a frustrated growl Shivansh asked further," What about Orni? Did you find anything about Orni's parents?"

" I am not understanding where to start investigating about Orni's parents. She came from nowhere and couldn't even remember anything. Without any clue, I can't do anything," Advesh answered and Shivansh was getting frustrated more.

Then, an idea came to his mind and Shivansh ordered Advesh," Orni was VR's wife. That means she was related to him. Advesh, just look into VR's past. Don't even skip a single section of his past. I believe we will find something for sure."

" As you say," Advesh said and left for investigation.

After four days Advesh returned with major information about Orni's family. Without wasting another second he rushed to the hospital to meet Shivansh.

" You were right, Shiv. After looking into VR's whole life story I found some major information about Orni's father," Advesh informed and Shivansh took a relaxed breath.

Shivansh asked impatiently," Who is Orni's father?"

" Mr Sanjay Patel. He had a flower shop in the city but now where he lives I don't know," Advesh answered.

Shivansh ordered Advesh," Just find out Mr Patel as soon as possible. Until I return Orni to a safe hand, I can not even sleep properly. Moreover, I need to save Niyati and Neela from VR. I can't let them stay with that criminal."

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

" How is she, doctor? When will she gain her senses back?" Niyati asked the doctor who was checking Orni.

The doctor answered with his professional voice," She is stressed. It will take time for her to regain her senses."

Well, after Orni's encounter with Ranvijay she fainted in Niyati's arms. She was taken to the hospital as soon as possible by Niyati. Ranvijay followed them though Niyati forbade him to follow her. Niyati informed Faiza buaa too and now they are in the hospital.

" She will be fine, right doctor?" Faiza buaa asked the doctor very worriedly.

The doctor answered," She will be fine but I will suggest you not give her any kind of stress."

The doctor was talking to Faiza buaa when Roman asked Niyati with his sad voice," My Mumma will be fine, right aunty?"

" Why isn't she responding?" Rion asked shaking Orni's shoulder slightly.

Hearing their questions Niyati was numb. She wasn't understanding what she should say to these innocent kids? She has also a daughter and she understands their feelings. She didn't want to bring the kids here but in front of their loud crying Niyati gave up.

Niyati replied to the kids forcing a smile on her face," She is just tired. She will be fine. You guys just pray for her."

Nodding their heads they both walked towards their mother and sat beside her head. Roman rested his head on Orni's chest from the right side and Rion did the same from the left side. Holding her hands they closed their eyes.

On the other hand, Ranvijay was seeing everything through the glass door. His heart was beating uncontrollably whenever he was looking at Orni. He was feeling guilty and regretful for Orni's condition. He knew that he is responsible for her condition and this thing was killing him from inside. But, a lot of questions were also roaming inside his head like how Orni survived? Where was she? How she ended up in the orphanage and a lot of questions.

VR melted looking at the kids' cuteness and love for their mother. He wonders will they love him the way they love their mother? Yes, he understood that the kids are his. Because the doctor previously told him that Orni won't be able to conceive again after this pregnancy. So, he is sure that his baby survived with Orni. But, he doesn't know one thing that how the kids are two in number. Because the doctor never mentioned something like twin pregnancy.

" Angel, I am sorry," VR mumbled when Niyati came out of the room.

She asked him directly," Do you have any explanation, Ranvijay Oops VR."

" Niyati, you need to understand that.........." VR couldn't finish his sentence when Niyati screamed in his face," What? What I should understand? Huh!! I thought you are the true definition of a gentleman but how much wrong I was! You abused her, tortured her and raped her!! Are you even human?"

This time, VR held Niyati's shoulder tightly and started saying," I wasn't a gentleman. That's true. But, I changed myself after losing Orni. I was regretful and guilty for my actions. That's why I was trying to redeem myself by protecting you and Neela. I have reasons for whatever I did to Orni and I know that my reasons were wr...................."

" Reasons!! You are justifying your acts by telling reasons!! That poor girl freaks out whenever she looks at you and still you dare to say that you had reasons!! How can you be so shameless to talk about reasons? What gave you the right to abuse and rape her? Huh!!" Niyati's voice boomed in the whole area and VR became silent completely.

He lowered his head and Niyati continued," I will be always grateful for whatever you did for me and Neela. But, the things you had done to Orni are unforgivable."

" You don't have to remind me that. I know what a monster I was. But, you have to unde..............." He was stopped again by Niyati.

Niyati announced curtly," I am divorcing you."

VR stumbled back by her sudden announcement and rooted in his place. He was speechless by her words and became bewildered. He wasn't understanding what he should do.

" I will return back the money you have spent on me and Neela till now. But, I am sorry to say I can't live with a rapist. I am sorry for my words but I can't help. After knowing the truth I think I won't be able to let my daughter come near you," Niyati said directly looking into VR's eyes and he lost it.

He asked her with an icy cold voice," Are you thinking that I may hurt Neela? Seriously, Niyati?"

By her words, she was pointing her finger at his intention for Neela. He loved Neela like his own blood. His daughter. How can she think that he will have dirty intentions for a child?

" You aren't a woman and a mother. You won't understand my feelings," Niyati answered and VR was silent.

He lowered his head when Niyati said with her pissed-off voice," And, I request you. Please. Stay away from Orni and her children. Let her breathe peacefully. If you really want to redeem yourself, please let her go. This time she will surely stop breathing if she sees you."

The last sentence was enough for VR to leave this place. Niyati's harsh words hurt him a lot but Orni's condition was hurting him more. He met her after a long time and couldn't even talk to her properly. He knew that he is responsible for her condition and this thought was giving him immense heartache.
