Chapter 30- Face
Chapter 30- Face
Author's p.o.v
Bhabani yelled loudly, " Anamika". She can't believe her own eyes. She is feeling too much afraid. She
can't believe how a dead person can alive suddenly. Bhabani's whole body is now shaking because of
tremendous fear. She is sweating badly. Her feet are shaking like anytime she will fall on the floor.
On the other hand, Anamika is just staring at Bhabani with too much hate, aggression and anger. She
is wearing a white saree and her head partition is covered with too much vermilion. Her eyes are
showing only hate towards Bhabani.
Anamika isn't saying anything. She is just glaring at Bhabani.
Bhabani asked with a shaky voice," how....can...you...b...e...a...li...ve? am....i..hallucinating? ".
This time Anamika laughed loudly like she is mocking Bhabani. Her laughing is echoing through the
whole empty cement factory shaking Bhavani from her heart.
Anamika is now coming towards Bhabani and Bhabani is going backwards. Bhabani is looking like prey
in front of Anamika. Anamika is taking predatory moves towards Bhabani.
Anamika opened her mouth and said angrily," You will pay for your sins".
Hearing Anamika, Bhabani is now hell afraid and again asked," How..c.a..n...you... be....alive?".
Hearing the question, Anamika didn't reply and again laughed but said nothing.
Suddenly Bhabani heard a male voice from behind. The voice said," Hey, who are you? What are you
doing here?"
Bhabani immediately turned her head and found a watchman type of person. Without wasting any time,
She ran towards the person and said catching her breath," Hey, there is a ghost. There is a ghost. She
is.. She is..scaring me".
The watchman looked forward and found no one.
He said to Bhabani with a boring tone," Bahen ji( Mam) there is no one. This whole cement factory is
empty for many years. Moreover, ghost doesn't exist".
Bhabani looked at the place where Anamika was standing. But the whole place is now empty like
Anamika didn't even come here.
Bhabani is continuously saying to that Watchman type person," I am saying the truth. There is a ghost.
I saw her with my own eyes."
The watchman is now totally irritated and dragged out Bhabani from the factory holding her hand. The
whole time Bhabani was checking the factory with her scared and scrutinizing eyes.
After coming out from the factory, that watchman said with a pissed off tone," Bahen ji, it's evening
time. And the darkness is increasing. You should go home and take rest".
Though Bhabani listened to the watchman's advice but she is 100% sure it was Anamika whom she
saw. Her whole mind is now saying only one thing," It's impossible. Anamika is dead".
She is chanting those words like a madwoman. She is feeling like anytime she will go crazy. She is so
afraid that she has already forgotten that she came here to find Vivek's murderer. Bhabani is not in any
state to walk. So, she took a taxi to go to her home.
When the taxi was leaving the cement factory area, again she noticed Anamika in front of the road.
Before Bhabani could say anything some kind of truck came in front of the taxi. And When the truck
passed, Anamika was not there. Like she has vanished in the air.
Seeing all this, Bhabani is now more afraid and started chanting God's name. Today's incident is too
much for her. She never thought that she will again meet Anamika. But, this time the ghost of Anamika.
On the other hand, when Bhabani left the area Anamika came out behind a tree. She took out a phone
from her bag which she is holding now.
She called someone and said, " Boss, your plan is working. I have scared her so much that she would
be scared even to go to the bathroom. For the next plan, I think you have promised me something.!!
The other person said something and Anamika said chuckling," Don't worry, boss. I will give this old
fatty lady so much tension that just in 10-15 days she will lose all her colour along with her fatty
tissues".
Saying that she laughed for sometimes and then cut the call. Then she said trailing her fingers on her
face," I never thought that this face has too much importance".
Devika's p.o.v
It's already 11:30 p.m. Abhinav hasn't returned yet. He informed me that he will be late and won't have
dinner at home.
Right now, I am studying attentively sitting at my table. I have to submit an assignment tomorrow. But,
the assignment is too much hard. I tried to talk with Arushi about this assignment but she is too much
engrossed in her another assignment. It's already 11:30 p.m. When will I complete this? Oh!! God, help
me, please.
I am too much engrossed in my study that I didn't notice that someone has entered into the room
silently. Suddenly, I felt someone is patting my head from behind. Realizing the sudden touch I become
startled and looked behind.
Seeing the person I immediately stood up from my seat and asked," when did you come? Why didn't
you call me, Abhinav?.
He didn't give me any answer but took the paper of my assignments in his hand. He is looking at the
paper with concentration.
I am seeing him with fear and curious expression. What's he checking!!
He looked at me and said," So, it's not that difficult. Let me help you".
Saying that he sat down on the chair and told me to concentrate on whatever he is saying. Like an
obedient kid, I am hearing his every word carefully. I can't believe my own ears and eyes that he is
helping me in my studies!!
After some time he finished his saying and now the assignment topic is clear to me like clean water.
What's he has eaten today that he is being too much generous!!
Even you can predict the sudden storm but can never predict this man's motive.!!
Looking at him I only said timidly," Thank you".
He didn't say anything just nodded his head.
Then, He removed his coat and tie. I immediately collected them and walked towards the closet to
place them.
I opened the closet and started placing his coat and tie and started searching his night suit when he
held me from behind.
I am not startled by the touch because I am now familiar with his touch. He buried his head inside my
half-open hair and said smelling, " I missed you so much".
I didn't say anything. I am still searching for his night suit.
Today he is looking quite happy. What happened to him !! He is now roaming his hand on my bare navel
and waist.
I asked him normally, "why are you having Divalproex and Carbamazepine which are strong medicine
and used for treating psychotic patients".
Listening to my words, His hold on me get loosened and he turned me towards him.
He held my chin tightly and asked with an angry tone," What did you say? From where you have learnt
about those medicines?
" What are you hiding? I asked him removing his hand from my chin.
Flashback
( Abhinav told me to leave his study room and I obliged like an obedient kid. But, before leaving the
room I stole two empty packets of the pill.
I really wanted to know what kind of pill is he taking and what's he hiding. When he left for his office I
read the description of the pill. But, I am not understanding for what kind of problem these drugs are
taken. If I had a phone then I could have easily found out about these pills from Google. But, damn!! My
possessive husband!! He didn't give me a phone. I thought to use Arushi's phone but she will ask me
thousands of questions. It will be better to not involve her here.
I know whom should I ask. Yes, I should ask Arnav about these pills. He is a doctor and obviously he
will understand. Though I am not talking with him for many days but right now I need his help. Only he
can help me in this matter.
Arnav wasn't at home. So, I started waiting for him. In the evening, he came back and went directly to
his room. I noticed that he has come when I was preparing some coffee for me. After too much
hesitation I walked towards his room and knocked at the door. He told me to go inside.
I entered and saw him sitting on his bed and doing something on his laptop. Seeing me, he becomes
surprised. I can see he is too much shocked after all I haven't talked with him for almost 8 months.
Before he could say anything, I said with too much hesitation," Umm, I want to ask you about
something. I hope I am not disturbing you".
Listening to me, he gave an awkward smile and said," Of course not. Umm!! Yea....is Abhi bhai at
home?".
I nodded my head in negative and I saw him having a relief of breath. Then he said looking directly at
me," Tell me how may I help you?".
I didn't waste any time and walked towards him. I gave him the empty packets and asked, " Can you
tell me for which problem these pills are taken?".
He took the packet from my hand and examine carefully. I saw him frowning his forehead when he was
reading the description of the pills.
After completing his examination he said with a surprised tone," Well, these medicines are very
powerful medicine. These medicines are strong mood stabilizer. They are specially used for treating
any kind of patient who is having a psychological problem".
Hearing him I became more confused and I am wondering that "is Abhinav really any psychotic
patient.!! "
This time Arnav also said," These medicines are very powerful. Without any doctors consultant you
can't take them otherwise there will be reactions of these medicines."
Hearing him, I am only thinking one thing" Am I really spending my life with a mental patient?".
I am lost in my dream world thinking when Arnav asked curiously, " By the way, from where have you
found those medicines? ".
I wanted to tell him that his dear bhai is having them. But, I stopped and said," Thank you so much".
Saying that I left his room without even hearing his words. "Is Abhinav really having some mental
condition!! This thought is now roaming inside my head like a bug. I will ask him directly about his
problems. If he is having any problem then why is he hiding them. He should share it with his family
member. At least, he can share it with me. I am his wife).
Flashback ended
I can see he isn't liking my questions but I want answers. I asked him again," Are you having any
mental problem? Than, why are you having strong mood stabilizer?".
Next time I fell on the floor because of the impact which he gave me on my right cheek. He said angrily
holding my hairs," Are you spying on me? Didn't I tell you to not go into my study room then why did
you go there? And you dare to touch my important things!!
That's it, I couldn't control my anger and stand up from the floor. Here, I am trying to help him but he is
like an arrogant bas***.
I snapped at him," Why did you get so angry huh? So, it's true that you are having mental issues."
I can see his eyes are getting dark. Though I am hell afraid but still asked him gathering all the courage
which I have inside of me," I am your wife. Can't you share your problems with me? I am trying very
hard to understand you. Support you in your every problem but every time you are pushing me away".
This time he held my neck almost choking me and said angrily, " I don't need your fucking sympathy.
Understood? I don't need anyone's support. I am enough for myself. Don't you dare to show me your
fake concern?"
This man really doesn't need anyone's genuine care. He is now choking my neck so tightly that I am
feeling like I will faint anytime. I am thrashing my hands and feet like any slaughtered animal. Then, I
felt that he threw me on the bed and I landed on the bed in an awkward position.
He hovered over me and caged me between his body and the bed. He said looking at my body lustfully,
" Did you forget your place? Huh!! You are my wife just for my needs. Never ever expect me that I will
give you that respect which a wife deserves. You are not worthy of that respect."
Hearing him, my eyes get watered and I am cursing myself for caring for this man. He doesn't deserve
any of my concern. How can I forget that for which reason he married me? He only married me to show
me hell!! He can never change!! I thought he is changing slowly but I was completely wrong!!.
Then he said biting my neck," You need punishment for checking and touching my study room. After
this night, you will think a thousand times before messing with my matters and showing sympathy
towards me. You are very fond of spying huh!! After this night you will forget about this word and will
not dare to mess with my matters."
I looked at him with pure horror. What's he up to!! He picked me up on his shoulder and started going
towards the door.
I am wriggling on his shoulder and crying badly to leave me but he isn't hearing any of my crying and
pleading. I am cursing myself that I have cared for this beast who has no minimum care for me.
He took me to a basement type area of this house where I have never gone or seen before. The whole
room is too much creepy and I saw chains with handcuffs along with too many torture devices.
Seeing all this my sobbing gets more louder.
He threw me on the floor and cuffed my both hands. He chained my both legs and now I am really
looking like a complete prisoner.
I am continuously pleading and saying that" Please, I am sorry. I will never ever try to see your study
room. Please".
He didn't hear any of my pleadings and took out a whip that have small spikes on it. Seeing that, my
blood becomes frozen. He has held the whip in the air to slash me with it when I become unconscious.
I don't know what happened to me after that. I can only find darkness.
Abhinav's p.o.v
I think I have given her too much freedom. She dared to touch my study room and she even dares to
ask me about the medicines.
If she finds out the truth then she will think me that I am mentally unstable. She is already pitting me. I
don't need any of her pity and sympathy. I can sense that the fear which I have put inside her is now
fading away.
That's why she dared to talk with me looking into my eyes. She needs some lesson. She dared to ask
me why I am having medicine. Huh!! Is she thinking I am insane!!
" She cares for you" the good Abhinav yelled. But the devil inside me is still affecting me too much and
he told me to punish her. Her crying was giving pleasure to my inner devil and he wanted to hear more.
That's why I took her to the basement to torture her.
Well, I don't want to beat her. I only want to scare her so much that she will never ever dare to mess
with my matters and will never talk back. After all, mental pressure is more effective than physical ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
pressure and pain.
And I was right. She is too much afraid that she will never ever try to do spy activity on me. I went
towards her and removed all the chains and cuffs.
" Oh!! My poor doll! I was just scaring you."
Saying that I picked her up in bridal style and walked towards our room. She needs some rest. I am
100% sure that the next morning she will again behave like my obedient doll.
Author's p.o.v
It's almost midnight and the person who called Bhabani is now resting on an easy chair. He is holding
an I pad and playing a video again and again.
Seeing the video he is laughing and laughing. He is enjoying the video too much like he is seeing any
interesting movie.
After some time, he stood up from his chair and held a man's photo.
He said looking at the photo with too much anger," Bastard, today I have enjoyed your whore's scared
and miserable condition too much. I know seeing her pale face you felt too much sorry!! Huh!! Trust
me I will make her life too much miserable and make her too much scared that she will lose her sanity
and will become mad.
I will see her destruction with my own eyes just you had seen our destruction. That whore of you will
see more horrifying scene very soon. Just wait and watch. You are already in hell. Very soon I will send
your whore to you."
Saying that he spitted on that man's photo multiple times and cursed him with too much dirty words.
At Gupta house
Bhabani Gupta is sitting on the floor hugging her knees. She is chanting only one thing, " It's
impossible. It's impossible.!!.
Her whole body is shaking because of too much fear. Ruhi is seeing her mother's unusual behaviour.
She woke up from her sleep hearing Bhabani's sobbing.
She asked her mother," Ma, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying in the middle of the night?"
Hearing Ruhi, Bhabani was silent for few seconds then she snapped at Ruhi," I have seen her. She is
here. She will kill me'.
Ruhi isn't understanding her mother's saying. Bhabani's every talking is feeling like a puzzle towards
her.
Ruhi tried to touch Bhabani when Bhabni yelled like a scared mad woman.
Seeing Bhabani's condition Ruhi is thinking that her mother might have gone mad. Ruhi is still looking
at Bhabani with a horrified expression when Bhabani ran towards her small bedroom.
She closed the door and started searching for something. After searching for a few times she took out
Vivek's photo from an old bag. First, she hugged the photo a few times and then looked at the photo
with crying and scared eyes.
She said, " Vivek. How can be she alive? I have seen her. She threatened me. She is back. She will not
spare me".
Vivek is still staring at her with a smiling face. Bhabani is saying all those words again and again. But,
there is no response. After all, what can a photo say!!
Then she said hiccuping," Do you remember that day when you and I killed Anamika together. How she
struggled for breathing. How you held her both hands and I pressed the pillow on her whole face. How
we enjoyed her muffling sound!!
Saying all this Bhabani's face expression get changed and now she is laughing like a total psycho.
She wiped her tears and said creepily," If this Anamika is real than trust me vivek this time I will kill her
so brutally that she will never ever think about returning. I will not even spare her soul!! For this, I only
want your support, my love. Please, be with me always!!
