THE MEPHISTOPHELES 🔞 BOOK 1 (Completed)

Chapter-61

Amina's pov

"Amina kaha Mar gayi pani lane gayi ho ya banane? Jaldi ao! Amina, where are you? Are you bringing water or making it?)" my mother in law shouted from the hall

"Ayi ammi (coming mother)," I replied as I placed the glass on the tray

My life has become nonsense after Sheryaar's death. He was supposed to be mine! He was supposed to marry me, but he chose to die with that bitch, Marium. I mean, why in hell will he choose to burn alive? Because of him, my life is a living hell.

A girl who got rejected once and then, before her engagement, her future husband died is a bad omen, and no one wants a bad omen in their life, so my parents got rid of me immediately. They chose their family's reputation over mine.

I got married to a man twice my age who has three wives, including me. He is rich, but his mother is a tyrant. She makes me work every day and curses me, saying I seduced her son to marry him, so I won't be living unmarried. I was supposed to be Sheryaar Ahmed's wife, but here I am.

When I got to know that he had died in the fire, I was numb. I couldn't understand how cruel my fate could be. I only wanted him since I understood the meaning of love, marriage, and relationships. I loved him, but he never loved me back.

His death destroyed everyone in a blink; it was like we all became cursed. My husband wants a baby boy from me because his previous wife couldn't give him one. He always forces himself on me to impregnate me, and whenever I get my periods, he beats me, saying it's my fault that I can't be a mother. I don't know what is wrong with me. Why can't I get pregnant? If I give him a son, I will be in a better position in this house.

One year of marriage, and my life is hell. I can only imagine what would have happened if he hadn't died that day. I would have been married to him then and living my life in luxury.

"Ab aayi hai Mallika hamari! Tumhara abba ka ghar nahi hai ki itni alsi ban ke raho. Ek aulad to diya nahi ja raha isse muft ki rotiya torni hai bas. (Here our Empress has come! It's not your father's house, where you can be lazy. She can't even give birth to a child and only wants to freeload.)" my mother in law said when I gave her water

I wish to give her poison and end her life, but if I do that again, I will be termed a bad omen or, worse, a witch. Then people will burn me alive! No! I don't want that to happen to me. Sometimes I feel that if Marium were alive, I would have been married to Sheryaar at least. I don't know who killed that girl, but whoever did it, I wish they would die pathetically.

"Pair daba thik se hamare (massage my legs properly)" she ordered and I sat down on the ground to do so

I was a princess in my house, and here I am just a maid. I so wish my life wasn't like this! I have an animal like husband who treats me like trash.

"Ammi hum soch rahe ki kuch din hamare abba jaan ke ghar ho aye. Bahut din ho gaye hai nahi gaye waha. Hum jay? (Mother, I was thinking of visiting my maternal home as it's been so long since I've visited them. Should I go?)" I asked her in the hope she will say yes

If I go there at least for a few days, I will get relief from this torture.

"Koi zaroorat nahi hai! Waise bhi tumhare ghar wale sakal bhi nahi dekhna chahte tumhari. Aur ek banj ko itna soch ne ki azadi nahi hai. Pehle aulad do phir sochna. (No need! Anyway, no one from your family wants to see your face. And a barren woman doesn't have the right to think much; first give birth to a child, then think.) " She said it, and I digested her words silently

What can I even do? Every time she taunts me, I feel like crying because I am not barren, but still she calls me that.

"Arey ammi kya hua phir se kuch kiya kya isne? (what happened, mother? Did she do something again?)" my sister in law Nigar asked
