Will You Break Me ( ArjunMukta 1)

36: caged

Riya POV

A door opened with thud and maid shanti appeared with a approx 5 months baby boy in her arms. He was my baby whom the devil in disguise snatched from my arms.

I hurriedly tried to walk towards her but fell down due to the jerk. My leg was tied with a metal chain. The chain was long enough to roam around the bed in a large room. The bed was near the washroom door but far away from the main entrance of room.

I cried due to pain but there was no one to hear my sobs. I was drained both physically and emotionally.
"Please I beg you people... let me go away from here with my child...."

Shanti came close to me and put the baby in my lap.
"sir is coming back in next few days... it's your last chance if you can escape because I heard that he is planning to take away the baby with him as he was planning to get settled with her...." shanti looked around whispered in my ear. She became straight in next moment. I looked her with pleading eyes.

"Please... help me to get out from here...." I feed the baby and shanti took him away instantly after that. She turned around to see to me and replied helplessly,

"If our sir get that I helped you then he will kill us..."

I could only sighed and wiped my tears mercilessly. I didn't know why my fate betrayed me like this. That person locked me and snatched my baby away.
He wanted his revenge. It was not like that if I loved him ever , it was just a phase for me which never passed. I never cared about anything but now I craved for my baby and freedom. It doesn't bother me if he is happy with another woman.

"Please God help me.... Please give me some hope... "

Rajveer was feeling restless as if something happened with his close one. Rashmi was with him. He prayed to god for his sisters safety. He decided to meet Arjun as soon as possible.

He thought to go America as he could not wait. He eagerly wanted to know about his sisters. Rashmi was reluctant to leave with him as she had so much pending work in Arjun absence but Pramila made her to go with him.

Pramila could sensed her pain of void life. They were so close yet too far. She wanted the happiness of all her children. She never thought Rashmi and her siblings less than Arjun. Rajveer was her nephew. Her deceased brother's son. Rajveer didn't even know that he could ever get the motherly love.

She didn't know about Mukta but Mukta innocent face touched her heart in first meeting itself. Her son married to Mukta. She was her daughter in law so she had most important place in her house and heart.

But she never wanted the forced relationship so when she felt Mukta's plea to get her freedom, she herself made sure to help her.

She was mother but before all that she was a woman and she valued for self respect and pride of a woman above all that why she helped Mukta to live her life.

She knew about her son obsession with Mukta. She couldn't think that it was Arjun's love for Mukta because he didn't try to give the needed space for which Mukta craved. Love demands care and understanding. That understanding make a person's heart feels secure enough to give his or her beloved a required personal space. Obsession and love has so much different from each other.

Possessiveness is good for some extent as everyone wants to be loved but when possessiveness crosses the limits, it turns suffocating for others. Possessive attachment is the supreme reason of anger, betrayal and revenge. Her son was very possessive always about his relationship and things. His father and uncle death left the deep scar on his mind and heart. He turned possessive towards Pramila too the extent after his father death. Mukta came into his life and his possessiveness turned towards her with intensity.

Arjun was behaving like a jerk who just wanted to treat Mukta as if she was some property of him. Pramila became scared due to his behavior towards Mukta. She knew that it could be destructive in future for everyone. She didn't want to let Mukta die each day in suffocating love instead of freedom. She tried very hard to hide her from Arjun but he was persistent.

But Pramila was happy that Mukta could fight back now. She was changed in short span. She was now a self confident woman. Deeply in her heart she hoped that she could bring back happiness in her son's disillusioned life.

Mukta came to her home after the long tiring day.

"Hey my baby girl...." Ani lifted her in his arms like a doll. He came back after 3 months.

"Just put me down... you idiot brother...." she shouted and pouted.

"Why are you annoyed?" He ask in smiling tone.

"You are asking me why ? You are coming back exactly after 3 months and that jerk husband of mine is being headache of me...." she growled.

Ani gave her a sweet assuring smile,
"My little sister.... now you don't have to worry about anything... this time I will not go soon.... I will meet your jerk and will try to make him understand that he can't force you until I am with you..."

Mukta looked his mischievous eyes and asked curiously,
"What will you do? Look don't do anything wrong.... I don't want to lose you like before...."

Aniket gave her a hug and replied,
"Do you think that I am some rough rowdie... I am a gentleman and will talk only in sophisticated way..."

Mukta smiled and replied,
"I know Ani... you are not manipulative and calculating beast like Rajveer and Arjun.... that's why I am worried if he does something with you..."

Ani interrupted her words,
"Hey.... don't think too much...and may be I am look like a soft guy by heart but don't underestimate your brother Mukta...."
