Substitute Wife

Chapter-16

Maryam's pov

Pain. That's what I was feeling only. The physical pain is tolerable since I am taking medication but the pain in my chest was increasing with every passing second. Whenever I close my eyes I can only see my dead child in that bowl. Remembering my baby's death my eyes moistened instantly.

" I am sorry, baby," I again apologised shedding tears silently.

I was crying silently when a click sound reached my ears. I diverted my gaze at the door and found my baby's murderer standing at the door. Seeing his face my blood boiled with anger and I felt like murdering him just the way he murdered my baby. I don't know how can someone be that cruel to his own blood!! I wonder why he couldn't accept my baby? If he can love Yamir & Omaira then what was my innocent baby's fault?

I couldn't continue looking at his ugly face anymore and looked outside. Why is he here? After snatching my peace, my baby what does he want more? I don't know what's he going to say but I know that I can't live with this man. I can't live with my innocent baby's killer. I am gonna ask for a divorce from him.

" How are you feeling now?" He asked sounding concerned.

I didn't feel like answering so I kept my mouth mum. Coming towards me he sat beside me and I moved away. He tried to hold my hand but I just jerked away his hands. He disgusts me. Why is he here? Is he here to give me more pain? Isn't it enough?

" I asked you something. How are you feeling now?" He again asked and I diverted my eyes at his ugly face.

Looking at his eyes I found guilt ashamedness and remorse that didn't affect me at all. Why is he guilty? What's the point of feeling guilty now? The damage is already done.

" I want a divorce," I demanded looking directly into his eyes and a thin line of anxiety appeared on his face.

Before he could say anything I said furiously," Don't ask me why I want a divorce. The sin you have committed, after that it's impossible for me to live with a person like you."

" I won't divorce you. Yamir & Omaira can't live without you," He replied and his words opened my wounds again.

I shouted in his face grabbing his collar," You can care for Yamir & Omaira but not for my baby? Why? Why this discrimination? Huh!!"

" I can't undo what is done already. It would be better if you forget this and move on," He answered so casually that astonished me.

I asked in disbelief," Move on!! You are telling me to move on. Aren't you feeling even a little bit of remorse? That innocent soul was also a part of yours! How can you be that much ignorant? Huh!!"

Saying all these I clutched his collar and shouted in his face," You said I will discriminate among my children. But, what about you? You discriminated among your children even before my little one was born!! How could you be that much cruel? Don't you have a heart?"

" I didn't want a baby with you. That was an accident. So, forget it as soon as possible and move on," He replied and this time I lost my patience totally.

I screamed at the top of my lungs," If you didn't want any children with me then why the hell you fucked me? Why the hell you didn't use any protection? Huh! Once you told me that even if I get naked in front of you spreading my legs, you won't touch me. Hmm? Then where did this proud sentence go when you were fucking me every night?"

He remained silent when I yelled in his face," Answer me, you monster!! Why are you silent? You never forget to remind me that it's my duty to satisfy you whenever you want but how did you forget when it came to your responsibility? Wasn't my child also a responsibility for you just like Yamir & Omaira?"
