Bhawana POV:-
After the funeral, I came back home. All the time, people were cursing me or taunting me. They even called me names.
When I entered the hall of my home, all the past memories came in front of my eyes. My mother's love, my father's joke, their PDA, and everything, we created here came in front of my eyes which made me tear eyes. A tear left my left eye.
Before I could wipe it, someone held my wrist tightly and made me turn. I looked at my Uncle Nayan, who slapped me immediately.
I fell on the floor due to the strong impact of the slap. My ears went numb for a minute. I looked at him with teary eyes. Uncle Kabir was my father's younger brother, while Uncle Nayan was my mother's older brother.
I always respected him because he was a cool uncle who loved me a lot. This was the first time he slapped me.
" Mama Ji? " I mumbled, and he showed his hand.
" Don't! Don't call me your mama. Do you have any idea what you did? You became a w***e in front of society. You shamed your parents and us, Bhawana. " He yelled at me.
" Can you at least tell me what I did? " I yelled back at him this time.
" Sure! " He replied and showed me a photo. In this photo, Damian's face hides because he was on the dark side while my face was showing clearly. It was the time when Damian was dragging me toward the room.
" This photo was captured by Kabir's friend. In fact, he shared this photo with everyone in our circle. Now, we are shamed. Your life is ruined, Bhawana. Everyone knew how you earned this money to try to save your parents. " He spat, and I looked at him who looked at me with disgust.
" You know, my brother-in-law gave this property to you according to his will. So, now you will live here. Kabir and I are breaking our relationship with you. " He stated, and I looked at him with blank eyes. But inside, they are breaking me more.
" And you know what, you should die in shame. " He spat such disgusting words and left with Uncle Kabir's family. I looked around me and found myself alone. There, I broke because I realized I was an orphan now.
" WHY??? WHY??? " I screamed and cried.
Two months later:-
Bhawana POV:-
It's been two months since my parent's death. The one who gives me a little love is my principal and the psychiatrist, whom I am seeing because of my depression.
These two months were hell for me. Where I go, people made fun of me, mock me, or call me names. I learned everything in these two months. Whether it is cooking dinner, pressing clothes, doing house chores, or every important thing.
I am suffering from insomnia. So, I bought two big teddies and talked to them daily like they were my parents. I think I am going crazy, but my psychiatrist told me that it was good to talk out my emotions to anyone. She knew I couldn't talk to anyone. I didn't start again my father's business.
Today is the last day of my exam. After that, I decided that I would leave this place. I looked at my principal, who looked at me with a wide smile.
" How was your exam, dear? " She asked, and before I could say anything, I blacked out.
The next time I opened my eyes, I felt a headache. I looked around and found myself in the hospital room. I looked at the door and saw my principal enter with a sad face.
" Mam, why am I here? " I asked.
" You fainted because... " She paused, and I looked at her with confusion.
" Because what? " I asked again.
" You... you are pregnant. " She confessed with a sad face. I was stunned. I knew what it meant. I am raising a child inside me. I knew who this child belonged to. I knew what happened with this child once he came into this world. I was so shocked that I didn't even realize that someone entered my room.
" How are you feeling, now? " Someone asked. I raised my eyes to see two doctors.
One was a female doctor, and the second was the same male doctor who treated my parents.
" I am not okay. I... I am pregnant. How am I going to raise my child alone in this world? How am I going to give my child a father's name? What am I going to tell my child who is his father? I don't... I don't understand anything. Why is everything so complicated in my life? " I asked and didn't realize I was crying until my principal gave me a hug while wiping my tears.
I cried for a few minutes. Once I felt better, the principal broke the hug and patted my head.
" Do you want to abort the child? " The female doctor asked and my hand went to my abdomen and looked at her with shock.
" NO! I WON'T ABORT THIS CHILD AT ANY COST. " I screamed at her. Then I realized what I did.
" I am sorry. I didn't want to scream at you. It's just... " She cut me off immediately.
" I can understand. It was your mother instinct. But, what are you planning to do now? " She said and asked. I looked at them for a good minute before telling them the truth as I knew I can tell them the truth.
" I will leave this city. " I confessed, and they looked at me with shock.
" Leave this city? But where will you go? Do you know anyone who can accept you at their place? " The principal asked, and I shook my head in a no.
" No, but I have enough money to buy a new home. In a month, the results will be out and I would complete my bachelor's. Then, I can easily look for a job. " I replied.
" But, dear, a pregnant woman needs full care and attention. How will you survive alone in a new city? You are suffering from depression and insomnia. It could be dangerous to live alone. " The female doctor explained.
" I don't know, but I can't live here in this toxic city where my child would hear so many curses from people. This child is innocent. I need to give this child a soft environment. " I stated.
" Then, I have a suggestion. " Dr. Anand said, and we looked at him carefully.
" We can become your parents and you can live with us like our child. " Dr. Anand said while looking at the female doctor who smiled hearing him.
" What do you mean? " I asked, looking at them with confusion.
" We are husband and wife, child. We are childless. If you could do honor to us, will you become our child? " He asked.
