His Doll

Aranav's p.o.v

Flashback

( I am drinking a glass of soda and listening to some music when Devika entered my room hurriedly and closed the door.

Before I could ask anything she turned off the music. I am surprised to see her because she doesn't come to my room often and bhai doesn't like it if we talk with each other.

I asked her surprisingly," Devika, what are you doing here? If bhai com........

" Please, help me," She said before I could say anything.

I asked her," What are you saying? What kind of help do you need?

She said looking into my eyes," promise me, you will not refuse."

" First tell me, what's happening? I am not understanding any words of yours," I said frowning my brows.

She said," Sit down on the bed and I am telling you".

I obliged her and sat down on the bed. I am wondering what kind of help she needed.

She sat beside me and said," You have to give a statement to the police. You have to say that you have seen your brother abusing me".

I stood up from my seat and said shockingly," What are you saying? I can't do that. I can never go against my brother".

She also stood up and said sadly," I need your help. Your bhai has done many heinous things with me. I want to see him behind the bar. You have also seen your brother's behaviour with me. At least help me for humanity. I want justice."

I have seen bhai abusing her it's true but I can not go against my brother. He has raised me with utmost care. He has tolerated much pain for us. How can I betray my brother!! Moreover, I am noticing that he isn't Abusing her anymore. So, I can not help her.

I said trying very hard to convince her," I understand your situation but I can not go against my brother. I request you to forgive him. He isn't abusing you anymore. Give him a chance. I know he loves you otherwise he wouldn't be so possessive over you"

I completed my saying and she started laughing like she is mocking me. I am watching her with my surprised expression.

She said sarcastically," Love!! He never loves me. Your brother is a psycho. He always found pleasure whenever he was torturing me. Indeed, he isn't abusing me recently. But, I am sure if I do anything which isn't right in his eyes than he will again beat me".

She said with too much hate and anger.

I said mentally," Bhai, what have you done!! You have lost a good wife like Devika. She only wants to punish you now".

I said with a soft voice," Devika, I admit that my brother isn't very normal. He is too aggressive. Try to understand him. Give him a chance. You can change him by giving him your care and love. Forgive him".

I really don't want my brother to go into jail.

Hearing me she said mockingly," Forgiveness!! Understanding him!! Trust me Arnav, I have tried to understand him but he always pushed me away. I am tired of this life."

She said and I saw some tears in her innocent eyes.

She said with a hurtful voice," I thought that you are different but I was wrong. How can I expect that you will go against your brother!"

I looked at her and I am feeling pity for her but I can not betray my brother. I turned my back saying," I am sorry Devika. I can not help you".

Suddenly, I felt that she has held my hands and said with her sad voice," If you have humanity inside you then help me, please".

I jerked off her hand when some of the soda fell into her saree along with my shirt. We both are slightly drenched by the soda. I am really in dilemma thinking whom should I support.

I apologised for my behaviour to her but she didn't say anything. She turned her back to leave the room with a sad expression on her face.

I called her loudly," Devika".

She turned toward me and looked at me with her questioning eyes.

I said giving her a slight smile," I can't promise but I will try to be on your side".

Hearing me, she thanked me with a smile on her face. She left my room smilingly.

I used to like her but for my brother, I never approached her. I respect our relationship. Moreover, I have found someone who loves me truly. I smiled remembering her when I felt the wetness on my chest. Then I remember that I have spilt soda on my shirt.

I just opened my shirt when Abhi Bhai entered my room and looked at me with a void expression on his face.

I asked him," Bhai, do you need something?

He didn't answer me. He said something which I didn't hear clearly and left my room closing the door with a thud sound.

Flashback ended

After two days of that incident, bhai again beat Devika and blamed her for having affair with me.

He also scolded me. He thought that we are having affair. Even after our denial, he can not believe that there is nothing between us.

He started feeling insecure and jealous of me over Devika. I was hurt thinking that my own brother isn't believing me. He was so insecure that he sent me to Germany to make me stay away from Devika.

That's when I became ready to give statement to the police. Moreover, seeing Devika's condition I couldn't resist myself to help her.

After helping her I started feeling guilty because I have given statement against my own brother. The human inside me helped a poor girl who wanted my help but the brother inside me is always guilty for going against my elder brother.

When I heard that Apeksha has arrested bhai I felt too much hurt. The brother inside me was telling me that I did the wrong thing but the human inside me was telling me that I did the right thing.

Right now, I am in my mansion in Germany. I am sitting in my room and thinking about everything.

Well, this mansion is also bought by bhai for me. He wanted me to stay comfortably. He always cares for me and I had gone against him. Trust me, after I leave India I couldn't sleep properly due to guilt.

I am thinking all this when my phone started ringing. I took the phone in my hand and saw the caller id. It's from Apeksha. I received the call.
