You're The Only Thing I Want. (✔)

9. Hatred

"It's all over Sonakshi.... You can't be mine...... And I.... I can never be yours!!!".

"But Dev...."

"No Sona.... Let it be! I'm getting what I deserve........ DEATH!!

"Dev No....."

"Goodbye Sona......"

Sona jerks up all sudden only to find herself panting in fear while Dev was enjoying his slumber. "Phew...It was a dream!" she sighs glancing at her sleeping beauty.

"I can't even imagine a moment without you Dev..." she caresses his head.

Oops its been late night and she was surprised to see Elena's missed calls rather than her parents. She calls her back. "Ele.... I'm sorry.... I'm busy with certain circumstances. But why didn't Maa Baba called?" she asks. Ele, who was just able to grab some sleep was irked. "Ele I said sorry.... Please tell me exactly what happened" Sona requests. "You don't need to say sorry. I told them that you'll with Dev's family tonight and you have informed me." her explanations was full of yawns. "Thank you so much Ele." she chirps. "You're welcome..." And she sleeps again. Sona hangs up.

But she can't stay in his room all night! She gets up to leave to guest room while "Please don't leave me Sonakshi..." He murmurs which stops her steps naturally. She sits beside him while he keeps murmuring. "Sshhhh Dev.... I'm not leaving you....Why you are creating stress again in your head.." she scolds but it wasn't working on his murmurs.

She shifts herself in Riya's room as she saw her working on laptop at late night. "You are burdened right..." She sits beside her. "Sona di.. You're still here!" she was confused. "Actually..... It was late so Mr. Dixit asked me to stay tonight." she explains stammering. "Oh okay.... But were you till now? I mean it's 2am." Riya asks. "Exactly it's 2am and you are sitting on laptop.... Do you want to be another Mr. Obhodro?" she chuckles. "No actually... Some.... Work...." Says Riya.

The next morning was a silent one. The family members remained silent while this hurt Dev the most. "Riya today's an important meeting. Are you ready?" asks Dev having his breakfast. Sona serves breakfast to Riya and she thanks her. "Yes bhai... I'm ready...." Riya replies. Both leaves for office together.

Few days passed and everyone was ignoring Dev which was totally unbearable for him. Sona knew he is unable to tolerate this much hatred when he wants them the most.

One day after a meeting Riya was home but Dev remained in office. Sona was tensed so she decides to meet him.

*knock knock*

No response.

She comes in without waiting for his permission as she was much worried.

The scenario in front of her was so painful. He was sitting in a corner holding a bottle of liquor while one bottle was already finished. "Dev what are you doing? You know this would harm you more..." she yells snatching the bottle but he saves the bottle. "Sshhhh...." Says he standing up while wiggling. She rushes to hold him but he doesn't allows her to touch him. "Dev..." a tear escapes out of her eyes.  "Why don't you hate me..." He asks walking with the support of wall. "Everyone...... Ev.... Everyone.... Hatessss me...." He laughs. "Dev...." she tries to console. "Sshhhh....." He orders with his trembling finger on his round lips. His eyes disclosing the pain in his heart. "Maa.... Neha.... Nikki..... Riya..... Everyone..... And...... And I..... I deserve it........." He cries managing not to fall while Sona keeps trying to help him. "I....I....deserve..... To be hateddd" He yells. "Dev..... Don't please don't stress yourself..... Just don't...." she pleads. "Why....wh..... Why do... You even care....." He shouts. "I....Don't deserve your love..... You are wasting your time on me..... Did you understand that....." He cries inhaling more liquor. "Dev stop it..." she shouts. "Hatessss me..... My..... My family..... Hatessss me...." He yells splashing the bottle on wall while some of its pieces pierces in his hand. "Dev you are bleeding.... Please stop..." she pleads. "They.... They hate me....." He breaks down falling on floor on knees. "Dev" she rushes to take him in her embrace.

"Dev... You are doing this for your family.... Please don't shatter like this." she caresses his back while he keeps weeping on her shoulder. "I can't tolerate their hatred...." His voice wrenches her heart. "Please.... Please Dev.... You can't fall weak. You aren't weak...." she consoles roaming her fingers in his hair. He keeps crying while she grips him tighter.

"I love you Dev...." she hisses kissing his cheeks while his lips shivers and his eyes glares her encouraging ones. How much hope he can find out in those beautiful eyes! He remains silent in his dizziness. "Everything will be fine...." she wipes his tears and places soft kisses on his cheekbones. He tightens his eyelids to pour out tears which enough to make her weak. She nodes left to right while he keeps his forehead on hers and cries with a fresh bunch of tears. "No tears Dev...." she too breaks down hugging him tighter. While his bleeding hands remains embracing her.

Suddenly someone enters in the room. Sona and Dev were shocked to see Riya in front of them. "Riya...." Sona suddenly detaches herself from Dev and gets up. Dev too gets up standing beside Sona. Riya remains out of words. Dev feels sudden headache but he keeps standing. "What was this?" asks Riya while Sona remains dumbfounded and Dev deals with his headache. "Riya....." she tries to utter. "Maa was right...... You are changing my bhai!" she spats. "No this is not true" Dev speaks. "You're drunk!!!" she was amazed seeing the bottles. "You never used to drink!!" she keeps yelling. "But this girl made you this..." she frowns at Sona. "Riya.." He scolds. "Be in your limits" He adds. "You're changed bhai.... You're changed... And I hate you for this...." she cries turning to leave the room.

"I hate you..." her words echoes in his head. He looses his balance and falls all sudden. "Devvvv...." Sona cries while Riya turns to see the scenario. "Bhaiiiii.....!!!!" she rushes but stops. "Oh he's drunk!" she thinks. "Dev I told you not to take stress...." she scolds caressing his cheeks. He was restless, panting heavily holding his head. "Riya call Dr. Singh" she orders. Riya, who was all numb till now, comes to reality. "Riya I said call the doctor right now..." Sona yells. "Ye... Yes..." she stammers and calls Dr. Singh as fast as possible.

Dr. Singh checks Dev and injects him medicine assuring Sona that everything is fine but he needs to stay away from stress. He leaves.

"Will you explain me now?" asks Riya to Sona who was sighing thinking he's fine. "He... He drank... Too much...." replies she. "I don't want any lie now...." Riya was stubborn.
