A Curse : Uncanny Brides Of Malhotra's

Chapter 24: Pooja

After two days:

Meera's pov,

After that day when I got to know she wanted me to die I never came here. But now I'm standing in front of the door, I want answers to my questions. I came here as soon as I landed in London. I rang the bell and soon door opened. Her face becomes pale as soon as she saw me.

Pooja: Meera....

Her voice was low, fear was visible on her.

Meera: can I come?

Pooja: yeah, yeah.

She moved and I entered, my heart became heavy from the memory this house hold. Giggles and laughing echo in my ear, time we spent together, all the fun we had, everything flash in front of me.

Meera: why, aunty?

I asked directly. My eyes were down, my tears were on the urge to come out.

Pooja: why, Meera? Why does my daughter have to die ? Why did you kill her?

I looked at her in shock.

Meera: you think I killed her ?

It was barely audible.

Pooja: in that car accident you are supposed to die then why did my daughter die.

It broke my heart so badly, she was the only one had. She supports me every time, everyone calls me bad luck and cursed child but she stood beside me. She loves me like a real mother, she was with me in my hard time.

Meera: aunty...

It sting her hard, for the first time I called her aunty.

Pooja: I had no one, it's just me and her. You didn't even try to save her. Whenever I see you it reminds me of her, I feel like maybe my daughter would have been alive if you had died.

I smiled through pain.

Meera: so you tried to kill me?

Pooja: I'm sorry, Meera.

Meera: aunty.....

Pooja: if you had died when your mom was giving birth to you then today there will be three people alive, living happily.....that girl, Kiara and your mom.

I looked down while tears were falling down like anything.

Meera: if I die, would it make you happy?

Pooja: I will feel like my innocent daughter is not the only one who got injustice.

I nodded and wiped my tears, I walked to Kiara's  room.

Meera: still the same.

Shaking breath left from my mouth as I look around. I walked to the balcony and stood on the railing. I closed my eyes and his face came in my mind. He will be free from curse now, I don't have option rather than this. Aruhi di, I'm sorry. I will hurt you for the last time, Dhruvi di try to be truly happy.

Meera's pov end.

She bent forward and left the railing, she fell but a strong hand held her hand tightly. Meera opens her eyes and looks up. There Shlok was holding her hand so tightly that it might leave a mark.

Meera: leave me....

Shlok: shut up!!

He yelled as a drop of tear left from his face and fell on her cheek. Railing designs were so sharp that it was cutting his hand. Blood flows from his hand to her, she move so it will loosen the hold. But it didn't work, instead his blood made their way to her mang...... filling and claiming it. He pulled her up while Advik, Reyansh, Aruhi and Dhruvi were watching this from down. Shlok tightly hold her forearm and look in her eyes. Knuckles turn white, eyes bloodshot red, veins visible while his blood was boiling.
