Chapter 67: Chapter 67
Orni's pov
" Mumma, won't you sleep?" Roman asked to peep under the bed.
I answered back while taking a breath," You sleep. Mumma will sleep later."
" Mumma is he really bad? A scary person? He doesn't seem like one," Rion asked sounding curious.
I responded rudely," Yes. He is a bad man. That's why he is keeping us here. Away from your grandma and grandpa."
It was nighttime. Putting the kids on the bed I was sitting near the window. I wasn't feeling sleepy at all. How can I sleep around that man? The way I insulted him I don't know what's going to be consequences. Is he going to beat me again? Is he going to rape me again? Out of anger, I acted like a lioness but only I know how scared I am.
I just hope my brother does something as soon as possible. At first, I was angry that he handed me back to that monster. But, later I realised one thing whatever he did. It was for love. For his family. I don't know what I would have done if I was in his situation.
I can't even imagine Ma & Papa's situation. They must be worried and crying their eyes out for me. What a pathetic child I am!! Except for tension and tears, I couldn't give them anything yet.
During the dinner that bastard was silent. I didn't even touch the food served by him. I just fed the kids because I don't want to see them starve. Once they were done with dinner I returned to that previous room and locked myself with the kids. I don't know what's this place. Where is it? Are there any other people? I don't know. I haven't seen anyone except him.
" If we behave nicely with him then he will behave nicely with us too. Right, Mumma?" Roman asked.
I scolded him angrily," You better close your eyes and sleep now. There is no need to talk to him."
They didn't ask me any questions further and went to sleep. I don't know how many days I have to stay here and tolerate that disgusting man. I just want to go home. I just want to be with Ma & Papa. Remembering my parents I didn't know when my eyes got teary.
It was almost midnight and I was still sitting beside the window. I was hearing the sound of the ocean and staring at the stars in the sky. There was no sleep in my eyes. I was just wondering what if I never crossed his path. What if I never fall in love with him? Everything could have been so different.
" Angel, please open the door," My concentration was broken by the sudden knock on the door. It was him.
" I brought dinner. You haven't eaten anything since morning. Eat something," He said sounding concerned but I didn't respond. I promised that I won't talk to him ever.
He apologised knocking on the door," I am sorry, Angel. I know I am at fault. Please, don't show your anger with food."
What the hell is he doing. His continuous knocking will wake up the kid. For the 10th time, he knocked at the door and I noticed Rion stirring in his sleep. This time I couldn't control my anger and rushed to the door to open it.
" Eat something," He said forwarding the food tray when I opened the door.
I looked at the tray and there were Dal, chicken curry, roti and some rice. They were steaming hot. I diverted my gaze at him and I swear I was feeling like vomiting. Closing the door slightly I forwarded my legs to the corridor and he followed me silently.
When I was enough away from the kids room I looked behind. He was roaming behind me like a dog with that food tray.
" Once you forgive me we will go to meet your parents. I promise," He said and as expected I didn't believe him.
Closing his eyes he groaned in pain when I splashed the whole chicken curry right on his eyes and that steaming hot dal on his face. I am sure his handsome face is burned now. The food tray falls to the ground with a loud sound. Falling to his knees he continued weeping. With red eyes, he looked at me in disbelief but I didn't spare a glance at him.
" How could you!!" He mumbled but I didn't feel the importance of responding.
Returning to the room I shut the door and started breathing heavily. I don't know how I did that or why I did it. I couldn't stand his fake promises and fake apologies so I did what my heart suggested.
Author's pov
The next morning came very fast for Orni. She didn't know when she slept on the easy chair. The kids were already awake.
Orni was surprised to see the closet full of her clothes and the kids clothing. The number of her clothes was telling that he is going to keep her hostage for a long time. At first, she thought she won't try to leave but now she realised Shivansh can't find her if she doesn't put any effort.
When Orni came downstairs, to the dining room breakfast was already served but VR wasn't there. She wasn't even interested to know where he was. But, something caught her attention. A middle-aged man in the kitchen. Orni realized that he was the cook here.
" Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me what's this place? Where are we?" Orni asked the man.
The man looked confused and suspicious after hearing her question. Thinking for a few seconds he opened his mouth.
" It's a private island near the Andaman islands. You don't know it?" He asked but Orni didn't reply.
She asked further," Private island. Vijendra Randhawa's?"
" No," he responded shortly.
Orni questioned back," Than, it's Ranvijay Mehra's?"
" No, It's Armaan Hashmi's. Aren't you a guest of Armaan Sir?" He asked but in response, Orni could only blink her eyes.
Armaan Hashmi! Who is this now? She wondered.
" Can you give me your phone? I want to call someone, please," Orni requested but without saying anything he left.
Orni turned behind and noticed that VR was standing at the door. The cook left after seeing VR. Orni rolled her eyes and felt peace seeing VR's burned face and red eyes.
" This place is one of my fans. I was gifted this place. Everyone listens to me here. No matter how much you try you can't leave. I won't let you leave until you forgive me and accept me back," He said.
Orni was pissed off by his repetitive sentences. She doesn't know what in a delusional world he lives. How can he even think that she will forgive him ever? Rolling her eyes she tried to leave when he grabbed her wrist.
" Angel, just give me one last chance. Please. I beg you," He pleaded.
Glaring at him she freed her wrist from his hold. For a few seconds, she only fumed in rage looking at him. Pushing him away from her she ran away.
" You will forgive me. Today or tomorrow. You will do it. I will make you do it," VR mumbled with determination.
Orni was trapped on this island where her family was going mad for her. Shivansh was searching for her like a crazy person but seems like Destiny wasn't on his side. The guilt was killing him that he handed Orni to VR. Everyone was blaming him but only he knows what kind of dilemma he was in.
" What? The last time he was seen in XYZ port?" Shivansh was stunned after hearing Advesh.
Advesh replied," That's what my men informed. "
" I don't know anything. I just want my sister back, Advesh. If you need the help of the navy then take it. I promised that I will save her and I will fulfil my promise," Shivansh said cutting the call.
Letting out a sigh he rubbed his forehead when Satya said from behind," What's the point of doing all these now? Do you think you can find her? You shouldn't have given her to that man in the first place. VR is no fool."
" I didn't have any choice," Shivansh yelled.
Satya snapped back," You had and you chose that woman who has zero care for you."
" That woman!! She is Neela's mother. My wi............" Shivansh was interrupted by Satya.
He said," Ex-wife. You are forgetting it often."
" You proved how concerned you were for Orni," Satya said but Shivansh can feel the taunt and anger in his voice.
Shivansh was out of patience so he screamed angrily," Just live me alone for some time. I know I am at fault. I was at fault every time. None of you can understand my situation until you were put into my shoes."
