CHAPTER 78
Kailash's condition is worsening day by day, so Avishka is unable to concentrate on anything else, and at this time she is sitting silently with her eyes on her father, who is nothing but a skeleton of bones. Seeing him in such a state causes her to shed tears at all times, but she is powerless to intervene. Due to getting a wonderful project here, Rajeev and Sanjeev have given a wonderful party at which her family has also come, and Rajeev has very carefully kept Kailash sitting in a very comfortable place, due to which he sees everything and is very happy with Rajeev's achievements. Avishka's eyes are on her father, who is trying to smile even in this situation. Rajeev is constantly on the move, bringing Advait along and introducing him to various individuals. Advait is interacting well with everyone he meets, and if he continues to build strong relationships with reputable companies, he will undoubtedly receive excellent opportunities in the future.
Today, if there's a significant reason for Avishka's attention, it's Saloni, who has repeatedly turned her gaze towards her. Although she's with Sanjeev, her gaze is always fixed on Avishka. Just then, he sees Rajeev coming towards her while looking very cheerful. Reema is sitting near Kailash when Rajeev approaches both of them and speaks affectionately to Avshika.
“Mummy, will I take my beautiful wife to meet all my clients for a while, and then I will take your lovely daughter back to you? Just free her for a while.”
"Now, my daughter is only yours, and she should definitely know about your work. Keep her with you for as long as you want; we have no problem.”
"That's why, mummy, I love you so much.”
Avishka looks at Rajeev, and her eyes stop at her mother and especially her father, who is smiling continuously. Rajeev takes Avishka to his clients and starts meeting them all with a very smiling face. Avishka also greets everyone with a smile, acknowledging them as important guests of her husband. Avishka sees Sanjeev, who is smilingly drinking a drink, and just looks at her. She doesn't like the way Sanjeev always looks at her, and she often notices that he looks at her in a very strange way. As a result, she tries to avoid him whenever possible. Because she has also told this to her husband, the reply she got was that Saloni is less beautiful than her and that it is necessary for every person to appreciate beauty.
Avishka is going to stay at her parents' house for a few days because everyone is worried about her father's health, and they all know that her father is only a guest for a few days, due to which she is just going to stay at her parents' house. She is very sad because she cannot leave immediately due to an important party and other events, but she is relieved when Rajeev tells her to go to her father's house the day after tomorrow.
Avishka's head is getting very heavy, and she feels like she just needs to sleep. She just quietly starts coming to her room because her head is also getting dizzy now, and suddenly she feels herself in the air. She does, and she is feeling very awkward, due to which she simply puts her head on his shoulder and says this.
“Raj... I am very tired."
Avishka only feels that he is taking her somewhere, and within a few moments, she feels the bed, and as if someone were taking off her clothes, she doesn't feel the strength at all to open her eyes. Alternatively, she could attempt to interrupt him or utter a single word. She tries with great difficulty to open her eyes, but she is not able to see anything clearly. All she knows is that there is not a single cloth on her body, and Rajeev is doing with her what he likes to do.
When Avishka opens her eyes the next morning, she has a slight feeling of what Rajeev was doing to her last night, but why was she suddenly so unconscious? She is not able to understand this at all; did he drug her? She looks nearby at Rajeev, who is sleeping naked on his stomach, and her entire heart is filled with hatred. She tries to get up, but the sharp pain between her legs prevents her from getting up suddenly.
“Ahhhhhhh….”
Her whole body is hurting a lot. She turns angrily and sees Rajeev, who has awakened due to her loud sigh, smiling at her. She is finding his smile very niggling, but Rajeev is holding her arm, making her lie down on the bed again, and looking at her face.
“I knew you were worn out and wouldn't let me come near you at all. I cannot tear my attention away from you because I am so captivated by your beauty. You were particularly stunning yesterday, so I infused a few sleeping pills into your beverage in order for you to get some rest and for me to obtain what I required. You have to understand that this thing worked for both of them."
Upon hearing my words, Avishka begins to weep over her because, although she has the ability to physically distance herself from this bastard by slapping him, she feels as though an invisible rope has been tied around her hands. Rajeev notices the tears in Avishka's eyes.
"I've told you many times that your beauty prevents me from staying away from you, and I want to come closer to you every moment. Now there is no need to make me feel guilty like this; I am your husband and have all right over you. Yesterday, you asked me to go with your parents to stay, and I told you to leave later because there were lots of guests at that time. Okay, no problem; we will leave right now. You get ready quickly, and please smile."
Avishka seemed to swallow her insult and everything in one gulp of lumps, which is a lump of blood for her, because at this moment she is most happy with the fact that she is going to her father's house from this hell. The house provides her with security, love, and peace, which she does not know for how long she will be able to see or for how long she may not.
.
.
.
For the last 25 days, Avishka has been at her parents' house, and Rajeev used to come to meet her regularly. Rajeev has left no stone unturned in serving Kailash, but today everyone is standing completely helpless because of Kailash. He is breathing very deeply, and at this time, the doctors are also trying their best to steal some of his breaths from God. Avishka's condition is the worst. She is going through a lot of difficulty in her life, and at the same time, she will not be able to bear the pain of her father's departure.
"Papa, please no. I will not be able to live without you; for me, you will have to wait."
Kailash, who has said nothing for two days, is crying while looking at his daughter. Avishka's tears are always painful for him to see. Avishka suddenly feels the tightness of her father's hand on her wrist. She feels very good, and he signals her to come closer to him. She immediately puts her ear close to his lips. Kailash can barely manage to convey his words to his daughter.
"I will never leave you alone until I am sure you are happy."
Avishka's eyes suddenly stop at her father, as if he has said a lot in these hidden words. Avishka looks at her father, who was looking only at her. Tears start flowing from her eyes continuously, and she places her head on Kailash's chest and starts crying loudly. Kailash's eyes get stuck on Advait and Reema, and tears are flowing from his eyes too. After a few moments, his breath leaves his body.
.
.
Sanjeev and Rajeev are handling everything; Avishka and Reema are not in a position to say or understand anything; Advait is hiding his grief inside while handling both of them; and in the meantime, Kailash's cremation is also taking place. On the tenth day following Kailash's death, Sanjeev arrived at Avishka's house with everyone, where he was discussing something with Rajeev. However, Avishka's health has deteriorated significantly today, causing Reema to become extremely upset.
“Rajeev, you take Avishka to the doctor; she was not eating or drinking anything properly due to her father's death, and now today she is not feeling well at all.”
Despite Avishka's refusal, Rajeev listens to her mother and takes her to the doctor, along with Sanjeev and Saloni.
"Congratulations, sir; she is pregnant.”
Aavishka, who was lost in her thoughts while sitting in the middle of all of them, suddenly starts looking towards the doctor, and her hand also goes on her stomach. Upon hearing this news, Aavishka appears to have instantly become happy. She turns to her husband, whom she rarely looks at, who is standing silently with his mouth slightly open, just staring at her after hearing the doctor's news. She immediately hugs him and keeps smiling at him.
"Rajeev, did you listen?”
As if Rajeev is suddenly embracing her, he emerges from his deep thoughts and begins to hug and caress her back. She is very happy.
.
.
Everyone is very happy to hear the news of Avishka's pregnancy, and although this news cannot completely end Kailash's sorrow, it is like a splash of cold water that acts as a balm for a short while on a deep wound they are feeling. Reema is thrilled to hear the news of her daughter's pregnancy, and now tears are flowing from her eyes due to happiness. Rajeev is not allowing Avishka to even step on the ground without his help, and Advaita is feeding her with his own hands. After spending 15 days in his father's mourning, Avishka will depart from this place, leaving Rajeev alone to stay with her in the house. All of his other family members have left here.
Avishka was experiencing a sense of disorientation in an unfamiliar situation. This news suddenly gave her a strange feeling of happiness because she is very happy to hug motherhood, and seeing the kind of happiness in Rajeev, she is very confused with everything. He is filled with joy and continues to dance with Advait. He just keeps Avishka very close to himself all the time.
Reema is giving Avishka a lot of instructions, and she does not want that at all. Rajeev swiftly responds, grasping her mother's shoulder.
"You have nothing to worry about, mom; I will now be responsible for her complete care."
Avishka smiles lightly and bids farewell to them. Rajeev and Avishka have set out on their journey sitting in the car, and Avishka is still not able to understand why they live so far away from the city in a forest-like place where no one lives far away, due to which she says.
"Raj, can't we stay in the city? Right now, I am on holiday, so there is no major problem, but now I am thinking that I will join the college soon because later I will have to take maternity leave as well. Later, I am going to need more holidays. So I don't want to ruin these holidays unnecessarily."
“You are absolutely right, and I will talk to mom and dad about this. You see, due to your father's illness, we chose to live in our ancestral mansion. However, now that you are pregnant, it's important for you to visit the doctor. It is not at all right for you to come so far for this, so I will soon tell everyone that we are all shifting to the city again because I do not want you to be worried alone here. Although there are servants around you all the time, if our family members are around, then I will feel much more comfortable and convenient for you."
Avishka is smiling a lot after listening to Rajeev, and Rajeev also has a constant smile on his face. He is repeatedly kissing Avishka's hand. Slowly, it seems as if Avishka has started forgetting all her feelings towards him because somehow she does not want to bring her child into the world with any malice or hatred in her heart. She wants to forget her feelings towards Rajeev in every way and give a new place to the relationship. She was sitting in her thoughts when suddenly the car stopped with a jerk. She glances at Rajeev and then looks ahead, noticing a large group of men standing there. This is a completely deserted road leading to his mansion, where hardly anybody passes.
"Rajeev, those people..."
"Avishka, don't come out. I come after talking to people... Many times problems arise in business; just don't come out. These people can do anything to harm us. You are pregnant now; I will deal with them somehow."
Avishka is not even able to understand what Rajeev is saying, and on this deserted road, Rajeev and she are completely helpless among so many people. As soon as Rajeev steps out of the car, they immediately begin to beat him, which causes Avishka to become extremely fearful. She goes, and despite knowing that it will be difficult for her to face so many people in such a condition, she cannot see Rajeev getting beaten like this, so she comes out. The people who were beating Rajeev saw her coming out like this and immediately came towards her. Avishka came running towards Rajeev, but one of them immediately kicked her hard in the stomach.
"Ahhh..."
"Avishka... Leave her; you want to avenge me; don't hurt her."
Avishka can only hear Rajeev's voice and try to crawl towards him in pain, but a man first fists her hair and forces her to stand on her feet.
"Avi No, don't do anything to my wife; she is pregnant."
On hearing Rajeev's words, the man who had caught Avishka forcefully makes her fall on her stomach on the ground with loud laughter. Due to falling on the ground with force, Avishka has already started having severe stomach pain. Rajeev frees himself and tries to run towards her, but suddenly they stop him and start kicking her stomach hard in front of him. Avishka doesn't get a chance to understand and recover from the blow, and she is in severe pain.
"Rajeev…."
Avishka turns to look at Rajeev, whom the people are holding very tightly, but they are not turning their backs on him; instead, they are beating Avishka in front of him while Rajeev is just shouting to save her.
"Aviiiii... Leave her."
