The Shattering Tale (Dark)(On Pause)

17. Got Married?

The next month from the inauguration was nicely spent. Except for the thing that Dev has joined Sonakshi's office as a manager.

He used to come regularly to the office but never on time. Sonakshi's behavior, of course, wasn't nice towards him. She used to torture him with her words but he never replied back any of his taunts and tortures.

The only thing he didn't like was her boyfriend Saurabh. He has heard the rumors about Sonakshi and Saurabh getting married soon.

He does not like Saurabh in any way. Though he was handsome and rich, Dev never liked him, he used to cry secretly whenever saw them together.

But then, he used to console himself thinking about Sonakshi's future. She has the right to stay happy with whomsoever she wants. He has just given her pain and problems. Why should not she move on with life?

One night,

"Wa....water....." Dev mumbles in the darkroom. His eyelids flipped and his head throbs were high. He manages to move his hand and realizes he was thrown on the floor. His clothes were torn all over, and he has scars all over his body except his face.

He turned his head and finds the ceiling fan above him was blurry. But then, manages not to sleep again. He roams his other hand and a walkie-talkie hits on his weak fingers. His lips were dry and he was craving for water.

He slowly tries and manages to get up with the help of the table and wall. He leans on the wall and huffs while closing his eyes. But again, he shakes his head and fights with the sleep.

After a while, his subconscious mind decides to get water from the kitchen. But as soon as he tries getting up. Something in his legs was stopping him to move.

His gaze fell towards his legs and he found that his right leg was tied up with the bed.

"Ughhh" he hits his back head on the wall in frustration.

The guest is in the house and I have to stay inside.

He thought. Of course, this was his Mamaji who have been making such rules to avoid him to meet people.

His fingers tried to catch the walkie-talkie so that his Mamaji can get a message that he needs him. But to his dismay, the walkie-talkie slips far from his reach.

His head was throbbing hard but he also wanted to have water like anyhow.

He anyhow dragged himself towards the door wall and bangs his hands on it. So that he can hear him.

But then, he saw something. Something that should not happen. Something which was really weird.

Saurabh with Dev's Mamaji!!!!!

He was wide-eyed. He tried to hear them.

"So Mr. Saurabh....finally you are getting married again!!!"

Again?

Dev was shocked to hear his Mamaji congratulating him.

"Ya.... My wife should not know this otherwise I'll be dead" laughs Saurabh.

Mamaji laughs saying, "Don't worry, once you'll be married to that Sonakshi, gift all her properties to your wife. She'll be glad."

The shock was an understatement for him. They are playing games with his Sonakshi? Like why?

By now, his Mamaji has noticed him peeping out of the room. He excused himself and secretly came to handle Dev.

"What the hell do you want?" he yells grabbing Dev's hair.
