Chapter 29

Suddenly, she stood in front of me and strangled my neck. I wasn't able to breathe. Tears blurred my vision as she yelled more profanities at me. I struggled to push her, but it was impossible. Finally, I pushed her with all my might, and she fell down, her head hitting the table. I gasped, placing my hand on my mouth.

She fainted and her forehead started to bleed..what to do now?

"Sharanya," I heard a voice say, and turned to see it was Neil.

My Neil was here.

I ran to him and held his hand "Neil, she came. I didn't... She fain..ted ..." I blabbered, unable to form a sentence as tears blurred my vision and my lips trembled.

He didn't reply to me and softly jerked my hand.

"She is fine now, but I am sorry." The doctor stopped abruptly and my eyes shot up to her.

"What?" Neil asked her.

"I am sorry she has gone through a miscarriage. She was 2 months pregnant."

I gasped as soon as those words were uttered by the doctor's mouth.

I felt like someone had snatched the ground underneath me.

She was pregnant!!

I murdered her child.

I killed her child.

"Can I meet her?" Neil asked.

"After sometime, as she is unconscious now," the doctor answered and left.

My entire body was shaking because of the news. Neil would hate me now! It wasn't my mistake, but I killed her child.

I know she might have done something with my child. I heard another voice.

It was some other man who was glaring at me and strode towards me. I backed up, terrified.

"You snatched my daughter's happiness!" he shouted, making me flinch.. daughter? Ohh, it was Anusha's dad.

"Mr. Sinha, leave her, she isn't at fault," Neil said, coming between us.

"You are taking this mother side seriously, Neil. She was there alone with Anusha, so of course she did something," Mr. Sinha said, shaking his head.

"Just because of her, my daughter and your wife are suffering," Mr. Sinha said.

"I will punish her," Neil said.

"Mr. Sinha, leave it, I'll handle her," Neil said and turned towards me.

"Neil" glared at me as I called him by his name. There wasn't a single emotion in his eyes.. Nothing, nothing!!

My hands started shaking. "Neil sir, please trust me, it's not a mistake, I haven't---" he cut me off, shouting..

"Shut up, just shut up!" he shouted, making me flinch..

I stood silently with never ending tears in my eyes I didn't know what was happening to me.

The nurse informed us that Anusha Mam got her consciousness back. Her dad rushed inside followed by Neil, while I walked two steps and stood in front of her door..

As soon as she saw me, she started shouting, "She.. she killed my child. She pushed me intently." I flinched and my eyes widened..

She said to her dad, crying loudly, "Dad, she killed my child. She snatched my happiness."

It wasn't my mistake.

"Anusha, calm down. I will kill her," Mr. Sinha said, and turned towards me.

Ayyiappa (God), please help me.

He strode towards me but Neil came in between, stopping him, "Mr. Sinha, I'll handle her. You don't need to do anything."

"Handle? "Seriously, Neil, she killed your child Neil and you are so calm right now," Mr. Sinha shouted at him.

"I will give her punishment, I promise," Neil said to him, and then turned towards me.

"Get out!" Neil shouted, making me shiver.

"Nei..l sir, it wasn't my mistake..take she she," he interrupted me, shouting.

"It's your mistake, it's all your mistake just because of you, I lost my precious one. I hate you so much," he shouted, and I cried, shaking my head.

"I haven't done any.. thing. Please list..en to me." I said, stuttering and crying. His voice was so dangrous that I started shivering.

"I don't want to listen to anything. You are indeed a witch. You destroyed everything. You destroyed me." he said, and then a slap landed on my cheek. I stumbled and clutched the chair for support.

He slapped me.

My own husband slapped me.

I tried to speak, but nothing came out of my mouth. "Go away, go away, I don't want you in my life," he shouted, and a tear escaped from my eyes.

He slapped me!!

Neil slapped me!

I stood rooted in my place I didn't feel the pain in my cheek, but the pain in my heart was tenfold. I tried to speak; I tried to say that it wasn't my mistake, but nothing came out of my mouth. My throat felt dry.

I felt pain in my arm I looked up and it was him clutching my arm tightly. I just stared at him with my teary eyes.. He dragged me out while my dead eyes were trying to read his expression.

"Don't you dare to show your face again." I stumbled as he pushed me.

"You will pay for this," he said, pointing his finger at me.

I have nothing to say about the time he slapped me. Everything changed.

I ran out of the hospital, wiping my tears harshly.

Now why am I so unlucky?

He didn't trust me. His words rang in my ears as I walked aimlessly down the road.

Why did you do this to me, Neil? Why?

I am not a killer.

I stood on the side of the road, gasping for air. I couldn't breathe properly. I opened my mouth to get some air but failed. Ayyiappa (God), what was happening with me?

There was no one to help me "Hey, you okay?" I heard the voice and turned, but my body gave up and darkness consumed me.
