Anya picked up the engagement ring and kept it in the jewellery box she will send it back tomorrow. She doesn't want to keep anything which is given to her by him. Not only the ring but all the dresses and soft toys he has given her she will return everything.
She hasn't touched her phone for a long time because the lock screen and home screen both have their couple pictures. She needs to change them as well but is it that easy? How will she delete the love she has for him? How will she erase the love she has for him in her heart? Her heart is aching with pain. She wants to cry and scream. She had spent yesterday night crying silently but still it's not calming her heart.
Why did they do that to her? Why did Rishav lie to her about everything? She slept with him because she loved him and he hid everything from her.
She wiped her tears which were not in her control anymore. Her tears are rolling down from her cheeks no matter how much she tries to wipe them but always a fresh set of tears are ready to spill.
While wiping her tears her eyes again caught the sight of Caliban's name. She wrote his name in the middle of her Henna to show him how much she loves him but now it just doesn't make any sense.
Damien has made it clear that he doesn't give a shit about her many times but that time she used to think he loves Samantha that's why he behaves like that but the reality is far from her imagination. He is disgusting, so is his thinking. What does he think of himself as? Some almighty God? That they will do whatever he asks them to do. Never! She loved them and wished for them to love her back but not anymore.
It will hurt her but she will throw them out of her life she won't let them use her for their benefit like she is a thing. She is Anya Banerjee, a law aspirant who has a loving family to be with. She won't let them ruin her life like they did with others.
"Anya don't be so hyper it will harm our babies if they are inside me." Samantha said worried
She isn't able to believe Damien completely but there is a 'But' what if he said the truth? Then what was that? Years ago he killed her babies. She clearly remembers it if her babies died then how are they inside her? If she is pregnant are they new babies or the old ones? There are thousands of questions in her mind and she doesn't know who will answer them but in any situation she won't do anything which will harm her babies at any cost.
"I don't know anything Samantha. It's hurting me very badly. They broke my trust out of everyone that Rishav broke my heart badly because he was the one who interacted with me more. He said so many things about his love about their love and reality is far from it. Even Caliban's name on my hand is making me furious." Anya told her
"If you can't tolerate his name on your hand how will you tolerate him in your heart? That human isn't
Bad right? He hasn't done anything bad to you then why hating him? You shouldn't punish him for something he didn't do." Samantha said to make Anya calm down
"I can't wait for him to do something to me, Samantha. I am not great like you I don't understand why the heck you gave them a fucking chance? You should either destroy yourself completely or go somewhere where they can't trace you. Second option sounds more appealing to me. If I was in your place I would have cursed them that they will never ever get me. What they did isn't forgivable." Anya said angrily
Even though more than angry she was hurt but she won't accept that.
"I love him, Anya. I love Damien more than anyone can imagine but he chose someone else at my place. What can I do? I don't remember my time with him nor I remember my previous life but I know that he took me forcefully with him from Heaven. He attacked my Heaven! I was supposed to be with him. I was made for him to serve him, to love him but my destiny was something else. I couldn't destroy him even in my anger. I could only think of punishing him like this. I still don't know why he is wasting time behind me. He should be happy in his life. He has everything but still he can't let me go. Is it his male ego that is not satisfied with me leaving him or something else I don't know." Samantha said and her words irritated Anya more
She doesn't know the backstory of both of them. She doesn't know the extent he went to get Samantha for her Damien and his brothers are liars who did wrong to Samantha and they are cheaters who don't deserve anything but hatred.
If she was in her sane mind she would have thought about it and tried to dig for more information but at this point she isn't in a state to use her brain.
She just wants the pain to go and for that she can do anything. She hates pain and that's why she is reacting like this.
"Hell with your love I don't give a damn about them anymore." Anya said and hit her hand on the bed
Caliban's name on her hand is making her irritated and she wants to get rid of it at any cost.
"I won't let his name stay on my hand at any cost. I will erase him from everywhere. From my phone, from my hand and heart both." Anya told herself and searched for a candle
That Henna stain won't go this easily because she had ordered the original organic Henna from Kashmir. Her cousins sent that for her. So if she wants to get rid of it, burning that portion is the best option for her right now.
Samantha couldn't say anything to her anymore because Anya was dominating her no matter what happened Anya is the human and she is more powerful then Samantha who is her soul.
She brought a candle out of her drawer and lit it. She was about to burn her hand when someone held her hand. She looked at the person and her anger increased more. It was none other than Rishav.
"Have you gone mad Little Birdie? Why the fuck will you burn your hand may I know? If I didn't catch you on time you would have hurt yourself." Rishav said a bit angrily
Anya started laughing at his words as if he had cracked some hilarious joke but she didn't forget to take her hand away from his hand.
"Why are you laughing now?" he asked her calmly
"Ajeeb duniya hai dard dene wale chot se bachate bhi hai. (the world is so strange the ones who give pain saves you from wounds as well)" Anya said smiling brightly as if mocking him
Indeed she was mocking him and for the first time she talked in Hindi. Rishav saw Sitara in her for once when she talked to him like that.
He pushed his thoughts away and focused on her.
"I am not here to hurt you Trust me. I am here to fix everything." Rishav said in a pleading way what else he can do anyways?
He is in a place where he has two paths, one to take revenge as Damien and Lucifer or two forget about it for Anya's sake. He won't also forgive Samantha but Anya is innocent in this matter. Then why punish the one who doesn't know shit about what's going on? Damien is too blinded with anger he can't blame him either. A person who has suffered so much in life obviously will get agitated and when he is the epitome of evilness you can't expect anything better. He tried to be good but the situation wasn't in their favour. He doesn't want to talk to Samantha because he is hurt as well but Anya is different so he doesn't want to mess it up with her.
"Trust and you? Both words aren't made for each other, Dark Lord. So don't use it either! Do you know what I was doing? I was burning your human's name from my hand. I will erase him and you all even if for that i need to hurt myself I will still do that. I don't want any of you in my life anymore so now kindly leave my room and don't come here without my permission ever. Heck don't even show me your face ever just leave." Anya said and tried to take the candle from his hand
Rishav sighed and held her hand
"I have hurt you enough Little Birdie don't hurt yourself more because of me. I am erasing the name from your hand but I will make sure that my name stays deeply carved on your heart forever." He said kissed the place where Caliban's name was
Anya took her hand away and wiped it on her dress as if she touched something dirty. Rishav felt terribly hurt by her actions but he isn't in the position to complain. He is getting the fruit of his deeds.
"Don't you ever dare to touch me. I will kick you where the sun doesn't shine so hard that you will never be able to have kids" Anya threatened him even though she won't do any such thing
Rishav decided to play along with her even though he was amused hearing her words, this little fire ball is enough to burn his whole existence in a blink.
"If you do that then how will you become Mom? Don't you want to see our beautiful kids playing around? You can't kick me there nope!" Rishav said and Anya glared at him angrily
"I don't want to hear any kind of nonsense from you and I'm not going to be the Mother of your children. " Anya replied angrily
"The babies are safe inside your womb and they are the same babies from earlier that's all I will say. Damien never killed them in reality. I don't know why you did everything Samantha but whatever you did that led to everything. We don't want any problems anymore so let's not make it more problematic then it already is. You did wrong, we did wrong, we are equal so don't drag this topic anymore. I hope you will give it a thought and don't harm yourself, Anya." Rishav said calmly and left from there because that's the only thing he could do
"How can he even say that I don't understand! I Won't go to them even if my babies are safe. I will take them somewhere else with me but not Risentria for sure. My babies are only mine. I won't let him snatch my babies from me at any cost this time." Samantha said emotionally
"Leave them, they are fucktards! I don't even want to see their ugly faces." Anya spat angrily
"They aren't ugly you're wrong here and don't curse in front of me. It hurts me if you do so." Samantha said and Anya glared at her
"whatever! Now I need to break the engagement in front of my family then I'm done for good." Anya said and started planning how to tell her parents that she wants to break the alliance.
