Her hateful love

12

"I can set this world

On fire

and

Call it rain"

Viraj cried in Raisha's arms like a baby. He cried till no tears left. He may not forgive his Jaan for hurting him and killing their baby but still he loves his Jaan so much. She is not with him to hold him, to make a fuss over little things, to make in angry in a second and laugh in the next, she is not with him to fight. Viraj loves his Jaan so much.

The fact that she is not alive anymore is the worst realization of his life. He felt like someone ripped his heart off from his body, the cut on his feet doesn't hurt but his heart is burning in the fire of pain. Viraj looked at the sky and wished to God to take his life as well.

Living without his Jaan, without his love, without his Aashika is the worst punishment someone can ever give him. He grabbed the nearby bottle of wine and gulped it but Raisha snatched the bottle from him.

" Viraj, you are yourself a doctor. You know how bad alcohol is for you in your condition, why are you drinking again? " Raisha asked Viraj with anger in her voice but Viraj he remembered his Jaan again. He recalled how she used to get angry when he tried to drink in the middle of the night.

Viraj smiled but soon his smile turned into a sorrowful face. Raisha looked around only to see the who penthouse was a mess but she noticed something which she never knew. The garland on aashika's photo. She felt her body froze, she blinked serval times but was greeted by the same view.

" Viraj, aashika?  Aashika... " she tried to form words but none of her words made sense. It's true that she never liked aashika but she never wanted her to be dead. Viraj just told her that aashika left him but he never told her that she was dead.

" Viraj, how all this happened? " Raisha asked with so much difficulty, her voice turned heavy. Her throat was filled with a lump of pain. Now she could understand why Viraj was behaving like that, why he was crying like a baby, his drinking habits everything made sense to her. A few tears fell from her eyes but she wiped them because she knew if Viraj will see her breaking then no one will be able to handle him.

" Viraj, tell me " she said facing Viraj. He looked at her with red eyes which were filled with pain and hurt. He gave her a sad smile and told her everything.

Viraj was so happy to see his jaan's reports. Aashika was two and a half months pregnant and the baby was all fine. Yesterday when aashika got unconscious suddenly he felt so much fear. He felt like he'll die any second if anything happens to his Jaan.

Viraj drove home, yes home not the penthouse because aashika turned his penthouse into home. Their home. He was thinking about buying a mansion soon because of their upcoming baby. He didn't bring any before because his Jaan doesn't like big places but now he was sure he'll convince her.

He traced his fingers on the nameplate with so much love which stated ' Mr. And Mrs. Singh ' having a family of his own was just a dream for him once but now it was about to come true. He opened the door Only to aashika dragging her bag to the door. Viraj frowned confused. He didn't tell aashika about her being pregnant then why she packed her clothes.

" Jaan, are we going somewhere? " Viraj asked as he came inside the house. Aashika looked at him and nodded. " Raj, I am going to India " she said with a nervous face.

" okay we'll go together " Viraj said. He was cool with wherever she wanted to go as he never wanted to cage her. Just the surity that his name was carved on her heart was enough for him.

Aashika encircled her arms around him and looked into his eyes " raj, I need to go alone. I can't take you with me. Please " she almost begged in the end.

" fine Jaan but take care of our baby " I said as I gave her the news of her being pregnant. At first, she just looked at me but then a smile appeared on her face but for a second I saw pure pain in her eyes.

" Raj, I promise I'll take care of our Bandar(monkey), our baby " she said with tears in her eyes. And the fact that she addressed our baby as Bandar made me happier coz I once teased her that I'll call the baby Bandar.

" Please don't go " I said as I pulled her near me and encircled my arms around her waist in a protective manner.

" I also don't want to go but I need to go " she said, I didn't ask why because the only promise she took from me on our wedding was I'll never ask why to her.

"that day she left for India " Viraj said to Raisha. She was looking at him with an unreadable expression.

" What happened after that? " Raisha asked.

Viraj took a deep breath and said " after a week I got a call that she died " he finished with a bitter expression on his face.

" what? " Raisha exclaimed.

" I went to India from the next flight there I got to know that she killed our baby and after that in an accident, she falls in the river," Viraj said a few tears fell from his eyes. He remembered the time when he found her wedding ring on the bank of the river.

" Viraj, I don't know what to say but just take one thing in your mind that aashika loved you unconditionally " Raisha said.
