Chapter 10- A bed warmer
Chapter 10- A bed warmer
Devika's p.o.v
A bed warmer!! Just a bed warmer!! This is my value in front of him!!
I am sitting on the floor wrapping a thin sheet around me and seeing him with wide eyes. He stood up
from the bed with his naked glory and started going to the washroom.
I am not crying anymore like my tears are dried down now. I only want one answer of a question.
I asked him, "If you hate me that much then why did you marry me?
He turned at me and nodded his head.
He said," good question. This is just starting. You will come to know about everything."
" I can't tolerate this humiliation. Send me back to my home. I don't want to live with you" I told him
clutching the sheet tightly. I am feeling like a used tissue paper. He raped me then kicked me from his
bed like I am any kind of whore who has no respect.
Listening to my words he laughed like I have said a joke. He came towards me and fisted my hair in his
hand tightly. I hissed in pain. He had already pulled my hair many times when he was raping me and
now I am feeling like my hair will anytime come out from my skull.
He said with his dangerous tone," Humiliation!! You didn't even see the real humiliation. You will see
the real humiliation very soon."
Saying that he went back to the washroom. I am just sitting on the floor with my broken soul and body.
My body is paining. I can't even feel my lower body parts. I am crying resting my head on one edge of
the bed. Why he is doing this to me!! Why! These questions are putting more pressure in my already
wounded heart.
After some time he came out from the washroom. He said with a boring tone," I have ordered you to
collect your all stuff from my bed and sleep on the floor. Didn't you hear me??
I didn't answer him back. This made him too much angry. He came towards me and grabbed my neck
almost choking me. He threatened me," if you don't listen to me or disrespect me than trust me I can do
many things to your mother and that pathetic company of your mother which isn't even her".
" What's he saying.? His every word is feeling like a puzzle. What does he mean that the company isn't
my mother's!! I thought in my mind but didn't dare to ask him. If I ask him then obviously he will again
slap me.
I said with very difficulty as he is choking my neck," please,...leave..me... I will always obey you".
" That's my perfect doll" saying that he again kissed my already cut lips. His every touch is fueling © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
disgust in my whole system but I am helpless. I can't say anything.
Then he left the room. It's almost midnight. I don't know where is he going at this hour wearing his night
suit. I don't care wherever he goes. This man is totally insane.
I slowly stood up on my feet and fell on the floor because of pain. My feet are feeling like jelly. I can't
feel my lower region. With the help of the furnitures, I walked towards my bag and took out a simple
cotton saree.
Then, with limping legs, I entered into the washroom. When I saw my reflection into the mirror I couldn't
hold back my tears anymore. My whole body is scratched like any wild animal had attacked me. My
both cheeks are red because of his slapping. My lips are swollen and cut. Dry blood is visible on my
lips. And my whole body!! I couldn't even look at my body! He is an animal. He is no human. Moreover,
I am looking like a tortured sex slave from the ancient era.
I couldn't see anymore and turn on the shower. I started rubbing my whole body harshly to remove his
filthy touches. My whole body is now totally red due to extreme rubbing. Still, I am feeling dirty.
I came out of the washroom wearing my saree. I laid down on the floor as per his order. Surprisingly I
am not feeling uncomfortable. I am too much hurt that the floor's hardness isn't bothering me either!!.
Very soon I drifted into a deep sleep. I am feeling like to not wake up from this sleep in future.
Author's p.o.v
Abhinav is again in his piano room. He is again playing the same tune with too much hurt, pain in his
mind and soul. He is trailing his fingers on the piano harshly drawing blood from his fingers. But he isn't
hissing in pain or doing anything for his fingers. He is continuing his play. Some old memories again
flashed in his mind.
.
.

"Ma, they are saying you are a wh.....Abhinav couldn't complete his sentence when his mother slapped
him on his cheek. His mother screamed like a madwoman and said," I am not a whore!! Who said you
all this?
Abhinav is crying now. Because it's the first time his mother slapped him. Abhinav said," All the people
in our neighbourhood is saying this. Ma, is this a bad word. Why my friends always bully me saying this
word?
His mother hugged him tightly. She is crying non-stop. She said softly," Dear, this word has another
type of sinic power. If any woman is labelled by this word anyhow then everyone started to hate her.
But trust me, dear. I am not a bad woman"
Abhinav looked at his mother and cupped her face in his small palms. He said softly," My mother is the
most beautiful, pure and best mother in the world. They are just Jealous of you. That's why they bully
me. But from today I will not listen to them. I promise you ma"....

Abhinav is still playing. This time looking at the ceiling. His whole eyes are red because of too much
anger.
He said loudly," Bhabani Gupta, you are the sole reason for my mother's misery. Because of you, this
society labelled my ma as a whore. You love your daughter a lot hmmm!! I will make sure your
daughter face the same humiliation that my ma once faced. This is my promise. " Saying that Abhinav
started again playing the piano but this time he is laughing like a psycho....
Meanwhile at Gupta House
Bhabani Gupta is still awake. She couldn't sleep because of tension. The tension is not for Devika, the
tension is for her company. She is thinking about how to gain full ownership from Abhinav.
She is feeling too much restless. She sat back on her bed. Then she walked towards her closet and
took out a man's photo.
She trailed her fingers on that photo and started crying. She said crying," Look at you. You are smiling,
huh!! Why did you leave me alone in this world? Every time I am losing. I have failed to catch the
murderer of you and now I am also losing the company. "
After some time she stopped her crying and said to that photo," Devika is my daughter. I love her but
my love for you is more than that love which is for Devika. I know I have made a deal using my own
daughter but trust me for you I can do anything and you already know what can I do for you"
Saying that Bhabani laughed few times and kissed that photo. Then she hugged that photo and laid
down on her bed.
" Good night, my love" saying that she drifted into a deep sleep.
