Rudr’s POV
“What have I done?...” I whispered, I realized the mistake I have done, it began to dawn on me and my legs started to give away my weight, I slowly slipped down to the ground and sat there like a lost man.
“Rudr…” mamma sat beside me.
“I killed my child mamma…” I said looking at the floor… “I… it was my fault… I let this happen…”
“No my child, it’s not your fault…” she said hugging me…
“It is mamma… how will I face her? She will never forgive me for this…” I cried hugging her.
“Calm down Rudr, you are the one who has to give her strength, you both have to survive this together… in every relationship, there will be ups and downs but that doesn’t mean that we have to stuck in that forever, talk to her, tell her the truth, I know her, she will understand you… but accepting you back will take some time Rudr, you have to work hard for earning her trust… I am not taking anyone’s side here, you both are equal to me, and I want you both to be happy… go home, think about all of this, take some rest and come back…”
“But mamma she-“
“She is alright, I am here, and your father, brother, sister everyone is here… she will be safe… “
“I don’t want to leave mamma…”
“Rudr, give her some time…”
“Hmm… she will not like seeing me any soon… I know… tell me when she is awake…”
“I will, take care…” she said giving a kiss on my forehead…
I didn’t face anyone else, I know they will be angry at me… without waiting further I walked away from there and went straight to our go down.
Dad’s people were beating Subed “Stop…” I said and they stopped and moved back…
Subed tilted his head and looked at me “You bastard…” he screeched and lunged toward me but was restrained by the ropes tying him.
“Untie him,” I said to one of them and he looked at me strangely, seeing that I am serious he untied him.
“all of you can go out now…”
“But sir…”
“OUT…” that was enough for them to leave me alone.
Subed was flexing his muscles watching my moves carefully.
“Where is she?” he asked me.
“You are never going to get her…”
“Then neither will you…” He said and punched my face and I fell, my nose was bleeding and I was smiling…
‘Pain, I need this…’
I stood up and said, “You will be dead before she wakes up…”
He jabbed my abdomen thrice and I fell coughing blood, he sat on me hitting my face, and said: “You will be dead and I will take her with me… everything will go as I planned neither you nor your family can do anything…”
I laughed at him “In your dreams… “
“We will see about that…” he said and started to punch me, I closed my eyes welcoming all the pain… I know this will be nothing compared to the pain I inflicted on my Ammu…
When I opened my eyes I was no longer in the godown, I was in my home in my bed ‘Was that a dream?’ I thought and moved my body… ‘Ouch… no it isn’t’ I understood when every muscle in my body ached.
‘How did I reach here?’
“Can you please explain what was that?” I saw an angry Vishnu
“Nothing…” I said and looked away.
“Did you lost your brain or what?” he asked again.
“What… I did what I did, I don’t want anyone’s opinion in it…”
“Of course… you will do whatever you like and because of that she is in hospital!!” he said and I flinched, it hurts…
“I… I didn’t mean it like that bhaii…” he said realizing what he said.
“No Vishnu, you are right… I don’t deserve her… “ I said, “Where is Subed?”
“Dad is dealing with him…”
“Hmm… is… is she awake?”
“Yes… “
“Did… did she asked for me?”
“No… she… she is in shock about what happened and about the baby… mamma and Nithya tried to console her but…”
“Hmm… take care of her…”
“Maybe you can help her bhaii…”
“Me?... no Vishnu… I don’t think she can tolerate me…”
Durga’s POV
I came back from my death phase and now I want to go back… it is better than what I am going through now… why is this not ending? Why can’t they put a full stop to my life?
I caressed my belly… there was a little life blooming inside me… I was going to be a mother… finally I would have someone to call as mine… only if… only if my destiny was not cruel to me…
Why did they spare me and took my child? Why couldn’t I protect my child?
I didn’t even know my baby was growing inside me… our Poornima, or was it a baby boy?… my Rudr was going to be father… Did he know that? Did he know we lost it? Why didn’t he come to see me?
Maybe he doesn’t believe this baby was his… I know, he will not believe that… and I am not going to make him…
He has his life, now the baby is gone there will be nothing binding us together… the story of Rudr and Durga has finished… it was a worthless story that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
I looked out through the window and the sky was full of stars, I slowly walked toward the window staring at the stars…
My grandma once told me people become stars when they are dead…
‘My baby… are you there? I know you were a lump of cells started to grow inside me, you didn’t even know you existed, well I didn’t know you were there. Do you hate me for that?...
I wish I knew, I wish I protected you… but I couldn’t…’ I started to cry hugging my tummy.
“Ammu, baby…” I heard mamma’s voice and she hugged me.
“I couldn’t protect my baby mamma…” I cried hugging her.
“It’s not your fault baby…”
“I didn’t get a chance to see my baby, I couldn’t hold it, I couldn’t feel its soft skin, I couldn’t kiss it, I couldn’t…”
“Shh.. shh.. baby… no one can change what happened? Cry as much as you want, let that pain out… I will be here with you”
“Me too,” said Nithya hugging us.
“Come, you are so tired, take some rest.” She said and without protesting I went with her and laid down…
“Does he know?” I asked and she nodded. “He hates me…”
“No Ammu, he can never do that… its not my place to say anything to you, he will tell you everything… give him a chance if possible,” she said.
‘Can I?’ with that thought I closed my eyes…
