Akash POV
***********
Akash someone called me from behind. I turned to see there is standing my shanthi maa.
"Shanthi maa!" I whispered painfully.
Shanthi maa, my caretaker. She took leave for 3 months because she went to take care of her pregnant daughter. Now she finally returned. I missed her a lot but how am I going to face her. She don't know about my marriage with Dharani and my monstrous act towards Dharani.
Shanthi maa is like a mother to me. When I was 8 years old, my mom Sharadha died of cancer. I was devastated but Shanthi maa took care of me. Dad was always busy in his business. He was never there for me when I need him but shanthi maa always there for me. I grew up in her arms.
"What happened Akash?" maa asked me. I stood up, ran to her and hugged maa tightly and cried.
"Akash! Tell me son, what happened to you? Look at me, don't scare me like this, tell me son!"she asked worried.
I was going to tell her what monster act I did to an innocent soul but I was interrupted by Dharani's scream.
Maa and I reached my room to see Dharani trashing on the bed.
"Akash who is this girl? What happened to her?" maa asked me.
"Please leave me Dhruv! Someone help me please", Dharani shouted.
"Stop. Please, please leave me." She cried.
My lips gaped open hearing her words.
"Oh god Dharani is having a nightmare?" I cried in pain.
"Please I beg you. Stop it."she cried again. By now she was crying loud, wetting her pillow.
I stood in my place too shocked to move. My legs were glued at that very place. Her sudden nightmare has left me in daze. Maa went to her, hugged Dharani and trying to wake her up.
But Dharani started screaming more, my heart pounded tremendously.
Her nightmare is just like mine. But the difference is in my nightmares I beg my maa don't go and but here Dharani is begging to leave her.
Dharani started punching in air, moving her hand vigorously.
Shanthi maa can't handle Dharani, I have to stop her.
I went to her and called her name" Dharani please open your eyes".
"Stop it. Leave me." She cried again and this time more painfully. Tears were running down my cheeks. Because of me she is having nightmare.
I hugged and pulled her closer to me. I placed my hand on her cheek but my chest contracted painfully when her skin touched mine. I felt a spark when her skin touched mine.
Oh god, what's happening to me.
Tears pooled at my eye corner threatening to be released. A sharp pain crossed my heart making me clutch her tightly. Sweat was coating on my skin. Her every pain, every miseries, now her nightmares, her struggles started flashing in my head making it hard for me to stop her feel pain.
Her cries and pleads were reminding me, how much devil I was towards her.
A painful roar released from her throat and more memories ran in front of my eyes. I clutched Dharani in my arm tightly. I shook her "Wake up damn it! Dharani!!" I shouted on top of my lungs.
Suddenly she went silent......
Oh my god, what happened to her?
She was unconscious. The view in front of me brought a huge pain my chest. I held her soft body in my arms.
"Dharani!!" I whispered in her ear to wake her up but she did not give any response. My heart beating fast. I gently shook her while calling out her name.
No. Nothing. She didn't move an inch.
Hurriedly, taking some water from the bedside table, I sprinkled a few droplets on her face. Slowly she opened her eyes.
