CHAPTER 36
Shweta is lying in Mayil's room and only looking at her daughter's picture on the wall. Only her smiling picture can comfort her at this time. Other than that, she doesn't know anything.
Jagdish comes to her with a plate of food in his hands, but she closes her eyes now so that she doesn't see Jagdish because, after seeing Jagdish, her grief increases even more.
"Sakhi … eat something… The doctor said that your BP is falling very much. In such a situation, you will spoil your health a lot. I don't want to hear anything. So don't even try to argue with me; stand up and eat."
"Is there any news?"
"Sakhi…. Eat your food."
Shweta immediately sits down. Tears flowed from her eyes. But she immediately wipes off her tears, takes a plate from his hands, and puts it on the bed, holding his hand. She forces him to sit before her, then places the initial bite in front of his mouth.
"It's been 15 days... Don't bother yourself so much. I thought that our daughter could never live without us, but for 15 days, no one has called, nor has she come in front of us. I have also seen the CCTV footage not once but a thousand times. I agree with the police that she has gone of her own free will."
"I don't believe this theory."
"Jaggi, I agree this is true because if someone had kidnapped her, then they would have called for ransom. You have no enemies, and I have never spoken to anyone in a slightly loud voice, so who has kidnapped her to harm us? She has gone of her own free will. So stop hurting yourself."
Jagdish does not want to say anything to Shweta at this moment; he just wants to feed her quietly so that her health does not get worse. That's why both sit quietly and eat food. As soon as the food is finished, he starts taking the plate and suddenly turns towards the door. Without turning back, he tells Shweta.
"She is my daughter... The day I saw her for the first time, I wanted to hide her from evil eyes because she is an angel. I used to fear every moment that no one would look at her with the wrong intention. Shweta, are you lying to yourself or to me? You also know very well that she has been kidnapped. I don't know why the person didn't ask for money from us. But I am afraid that even worse is not happening with her."
AUTHOR'S POV
Mrityunjay does push-ups but has eyes on the monitor where Mayil is still sleeping in ball form. Mayil is unable to sleep for the whole night, as she is already scared of being alone here. At night, the voices start reverberating in the whole house so much that even the sound of the waves makes her very afraid.
Mrityunjay can see her all the time, and words cannot describe the joy he gets whenever he sees her scared face. To maintain this happiness, he now tries to see Mayil for 24 hours.
He stops his exercise and sits down with the laptop on his lap. He can clearly see that Mayil is shivering with cold.
"Why don't you sleep on a cozy bed?" no one has forced you to sleep on the floor, then why are you doing this act? Such an attention seeker."
Mrityunjay gets up from there and goes to take a bath. At the same time, Mayil also gets up from the ground holding her head, sees herself on the floor, and then tells herself.
"Maybe I slept here suddenly."
She tries to get up from the ground, but her whole body is stiff from the cold, and she is feeling extremely cold. She has a fever, and her head is also feeling very heavy. She tries to get up but is not able to even sit.
"Mommm… "
A soft, crying voice comes out of her mouth as she misses her parents badly. These 15 days have been very terrifying for her. She has been on an island all alone for the last 15 days. Where is there no trace of any animal or human being?
The first 3 days went by only crying, as she was feeling absolutely helpless. She could not understand what had happened to her all of a sudden. Slowly, she started to understand. Perhaps someone has done this to her father to avenge his enmity or revenge, or it could be something more than this.
The entire kitchen is full of food, and the entire fridge is full of different types of vegetables and all the daily necessities, but the problem here is that Mayil does not even know how to boil water.
She was a very lovable and well-cared-for child of her parents, who have never let her suffer even the slightest injury or allowed her to take anything from their hands. Despite the fact that her entire house was full of servants, her mother always served her food on a plate and fed her with her own hands.
And suddenly, in 15 days, her life has changed so much that she does not understand that she can do these things.
Gathering her remaining strength, she starts walking toward the kitchen. She had eaten some biscuits last night also, and she is going to do the same now because she is very hungry and she doesn't know how to cook. She is running her body with bread, biscuits, and other items present there. To heat the milk the day before, she lit the stove with great difficulty, but while pouring the milk into the glass, she also burned her hand, which is a pain like hell.
She applied burnol with the first aid kit available there, but she was not used to bearing the pain because, even if she used to get the slightest scratch, her whole house was present around her and serving her.
She is not even eating half of the food because it's increasing her stomachache. She takes painkillers to reduce the pain, but hunger makes her situation worse, so she again starts eating all the junk food available there.
She is crying a lot, remembering everything, including how her mother used to take care of her every little need and that she would never let her eat anything like that. Fast food is a far-fetched thing; if she accidentally eats even two biscuits, she will get upset and not start having stomach pain.
She always feeds her milk and liquids to cool her stomach. To quench her hunger, she was trying to heat the milk, but the milk fell on her own hands.
With great difficulty, she is walking slowly toward the kitchen because her head is dizzy and she looks like she will fall anytime, but she is very thirsty and hungry.
But as soon as she comes out of the room, her head starts twitching more, and suddenly she starts falling, and while falling, she tries to hold the table placed nearby to save herself, which also falls with her due to which she gets hit on the head.
The speaker was on full volume, so Mrityunjay heard something falling. He turns off the shower and tells himself.
"What happened?"
He tied the towel around his torso and came out. He tried to look around the room. Nothing is dropped in the room, then he comes in front of the monitor and Mayil is not in the room.
He checks the kitchen, but she is not there either. With water dripping from his body, he checks the garden too, but she is not there either. He clenches his jaw and says,.
"Where the hell are you stupid girl?"
So he started checking all the cameras, and his eyes caught her on the floor, and her head was bleeding.
"Damn… "
His eyes are on Mayil on the monitor, and he immediately calls Ayaan.
"Yes sir..."
"That girl hurt herself and fainted; go check her immediately."
"Yes sir..."
The island is only 15 minutes away from where he is staying at a cottage near the coast. But he does not want to go there and does not want anything to happen to that girl. His eyes are constantly on her, as he is checking her regularly.
The doctor and Ayaan reached there within 15 minutes. The doctor immediately examines her thoroughly and starts telling Ayaan something. Ayaan immediately calls Mrityunjay.
"Yes… "
"She needs to be hospitalized."
"Do whatever you want to do; I want the girl safe. It's only been 15 days now. I have to torment him a lot. So it is very important for this girl to stay alive."
"Fine, sir."
Ayaan picks Mayil up in his arms and immediately takes her away from there. Mrityunjay's eyes are still on the monitor, but now he is only looking at the blood of Mayil that is currently on the floor.
