His Doll

Devika's p.o.v

"I don't want to marry anyone. Don't force me," I said and turned my head to the bed.

Apeksha di held my wrists and said," I am not telling you to marry right now. First, try to know him and then.........."

"I don't want to know anyone. I am happy with my children," I replied sternly.

She said huffing," Devika, try to understand, you are young. You have a life ahead of you. You deserve someone who will love you and cherish you."

I said to her loudly almost screaming," Di, you are not understanding. I don't want another person in my life."

" Why? Do you love him?  Did you fall in love with that beast? She asked me angrily. I can see that she is now quite annoyed.

I held her hands and took her towards a chair and made her sit on it. Then I bent down to her level and said holding her hands," Di, the question is I love Abhinav or not! The question is the new person in my life will accept my children or not?

She asked me frowning her brows," What do you mean?"

" Di, after our father's death, our mother married Vivek uncle and he always pretended that he always loved me as his own daughter. But, in reality, I was just a profitable object for him as well as for my mother. I don't want my children to face this type of betrayal.

There is no guarantee that the person in my life will accept my children wholeheartedly. There is no guarantee that he will love my children just the way their own father love them," I told her and she took a deep breath looking at me being surprised.

She said caressing my cheeks," Little sister, try to understand, not every person in this world are like Vivek Aggarwal. Good persons also exist in this world. I want to see you happy."

I said assuring her," Di, I know that you want to see me happy. And I am happy. My happiness lies with my children. My children are happy having their father in their life. I don't want another man in my life and my kids' life. My relationship with another man can affect my kids' innocent mind."

" So, you are telling that you will pretend in front of your children that everything is fine between you and Abhinav? She asked me standing up from the chair.

I took a deep breath and smiled looking at my children.

I said to her fixing my gaze on my children," For my children's happiness I can do anything. If for their healthy upbringing I have to pretend then I am ok with that. I will never let my children realize that their parents are divorced and have no relation anymore."

" Devika, you are not unde......." Apeksha Di tried to say more when I said stopping her sentence in the middle," Di, I am a mother. In front of my children's happiness, nothing matters to me."

Then she asked loudly," Are you going to spend the rest of your life alone?"

" I am not alone, Di. My children, my younger siblings and my protective elder sister are with me then how can I be alone!" I said smiling at her.

She is going to say something more when I said holding her shoulder," Di, don't worry about me. I am absolutely happy. "

Hearing me she kissed my forehead and said affectionately," I just want you to be happy."

I smiled at her and also thanked her for always be there with me.

After talking for some time she is now ready to leave the room.

Before leaving she turned at me and said giving a suspicious look to me," Devika, I don't know why I am feeling that something is bothering you. What is it?"

I said smiling," Nothing, Di. I am fine."

" Don't deceive yourself. Whatever is bothering you, I am sure it's regarding Abh........She couldn't complete her sentence when I said with a blank expression," Di, we have nothing between us anymore. Don't you remember we are divorced?"
