Chapter 93: 93. Feel The Smile!
Author's POV
Flashback continued...
"Mira, come inside"
Neel smiled at her.
"Did he sign the papers?"
"No!"
Her face was straight and calm when she entered his house.
"No? What do you mean?"
Neel frowned.
"You should force him to sign it."
"By the end of the day, it won't matter!"
She looked at him and he frowned at her pale face.
"Mira, what happened to you?"
He looked at her worried and cursed when she suddenly fell unconscious on the floor.
"Fuck, Mira?"
He quickly picked her up and placed her on the bed before calling the doctor.
He called Rudra too.
"Mira?"
Rudra rushed towards her when the doctor was checking on her.
"Chutku, what happened?"
Mira had got little consciousness by then but she was still numb.
"Doctor?"
"I don't know how she managed to tolerate this pain till now... Her ribs are bruised badly... There is a sign of good blood loss..."
The doctor informed while looking at her horrified.
"The bruises on her body are signs of ___"
He gulped looking at Rudra's death glare.
"Rape!"
Mira completed his sentence.
"We should take her to the hospital... She isn't in the right condition."
Doctor suggested.
"No! Until I see his death with my own eyes, I won't end the pain my body is feeling... This pain will stop with his breathing..."
She stated firmly.
"You can go!"
Rudra ordered the doctor.
"Kabir, that fucking psychopath..."
Neel growled when the doctor left.
"I am going to kill him."
Rudra gritted so hard that his jaw almost ticked.
"You want to see his dead body, I'll bring it to you."
He promised and got up but froze when she smirked while staring into nothing. He knows that this smirk means something.
"Mira, what did you do?"
He asked her scared.
"Did you kill him? Don't tell me you shot him, you can't because I don't want easy death for him."
She was still staring blankly into nothing.
"Easy death?"
She chuckled like she had lost her mind, it was evil.
"His soul will be terrified to be reborn, I'll give him that kind of death... He will scream in agony like I did... He will turn into ash like he turned my dignity into dust... He will die a slow and painful death like my innocent baby did..."
Neel and Rudra both looked at her stunned realising she was pregnant. Rudra grabbed his head in disbelief.
"His mother will cry to hold onto his ash like I screamed to hold on to my baby who was nothing but blood mixed into the river of my tears..."
Rudra took a deep breath and cupped her face.
"What did you do?"
"He will be burnt alive and the world will know that I did it."
She smiled bitterly like she was close to her victory.
"Shit, she has left proofs behind!"
Neel cursed.
"Rudra, she will be arrested a second after his death... She will be a prime suspect, we have to do something!"
Rudra nodded.
"But before that, you are not going to open your mouth."
He warned Mira.
"No one should know that you did it, Mira"
"Let the world see how woman's hate can cross limits like her love..."
She replied calmly, not a bit panicked.
"I have left with nothing anyway, he destroyed everything."
"Nothing is destroyed... Look at me!"
He growled at her in panic.
"You will keep your mouth shut and will bury these secrets deep in your heart, Mira... You did what you wanted now you will do as I say. You are not punishing yourself for that bastard, do you hear me... Papa deserves to see his daughter again, you can't do this to him."
Mira looked at him when he said that.
"Papa?"
She mumbled.
"Yes!... I am going to deal with the rest. You will keep your mouth shut, you didn't kill anyone... You loved Kabir and he died in the fire accident. That's it!"
He ordered.
"Am I clear?..."
She didn't answer.
"Mira?"
He growled at her.
She nodded.
"I didn't kill him, it was an accident."
Rudra got up hurriedly.
"Neel, no one should do her medical test... No one needs to know what happened... She is wearing clothes which can hide her bruises, get her more. Get medicines for her, I am going to the house. If that bastard is still alive then I'll make sure he gets a painful death."
They both looked at Mira when she got up from the bed and stood by the window with a smirk. Kabir's house was visible from the window.
She glanced at the clock and her smirk widened.
"He has cold, he can't smell the gas leakage."
She mumbled and Rudra stood by her while frowning at the house.
"It's time for his lunch, he either takes tea after lunch or cigarette... Gas is not working to make tea so he will lit his cigarette."
She mumbled and looked at the house.
"Today he won't smoke in the house, the house will turn him into smoke..."
Her eyes glowed when she felt it was close.
"One, two, three...."
Neel and Rudra looked at the house shocked when they heard a faint sound of blast and then smoke came out.
"Mira, stop!"
Rudra ran behind her when she rushed out of the house.
"Fuck!"
He cursed when she drove away before he could catch her.
Mira stopped the car in front of the house and got out. She looked at him hatefully when he screamed engulfed in flames.
She locked the door and stepped back from the house while watching him with a smile.
His each scream satisfied her wounded soul.
"Mira!"
He screamed when he saw her standing out and tried to open the door but failed. He begged her to open the door but she didn't, just like she begged him to leave her last night and he didn't.
She watched him give up as his screams died down.
"If you meet my baby up there, tell my angel that mamma is saying sorry for not protecting her baby..."
She mumbled.
"Mira?"
Durga screamed running towards her when Rudra informed her about the accident. He knew that Mira would need her.
Durga quickly held Mira before she could hit the ground unconsciously.
Rudra was quick to use his connection and close the case. Arundhati couldn't win against him.
Flashback ended...
Mira looked at Rudra in tears.
"What else do you want to know?"
Rudra closed his eyes in pain and pulled her in a hug.
"I am sorry, I couldn't protect you."
"I should have been able to protect myself"
She hugged him back.
"Mira, Damon heard everything..."
He declared and her head snapped towards him.
"I am sorry!"
He looked down in guilt and Mira scooted back from him in disbelief.
"Ahh!"
They heard an angry growl from another room and she rushed towards it.
"Damon!"
She gasped when he saw him furious. His hands were covered in blood and the crushed glass was shattered on the floor.
He was in tears and in a mess. His eyes were like he had shed tears of blood.
He was in pain, his heart was breaking for her.
He has loved only two women with his heart and how both of them can suffer hell. Why does he have to see them in pain.
He hasn't hurt any woman for the rest of his life then why him. Why the women he is supposed to protect are destroyed like this.
His heart clenched in pain and he struggled to breathe due to a furious and rage filled state.
"This is why I was not telling him"
Mira cried and rushed towards him, her face was holding the same pain as him.
Damon looked at her with blurry eyes and she cupped his face.
"Damon!"
He burst out in tears and pulled her in his embrace tightly.
"I am sorry... I am sorry for whatever I did..."
He realised that he has done some things which could have freshened up her traumas. His heart wrecked when he understood why she didn't come out of her room when he harassed her for the first time. Why she tried to hurt him and why she is scared of male touch.
He unknowingly triggered her traumas.
"I failed to protect you."
"You didn't!"
She shook her head.
"I can't see you in pain, Damon... What happened was past... Let it go, please..."
She begged.
"Just erase it from your mind, you didn't hear anything..."
She burst out in tears.
"Nothing has changed between us... I am still your little fire... I don't want it to affect even a second of our beautiful life... Please!"
"How do I forget that you have suffered hell to survive?... How can I ignore the emotional traumas you have received?... How do I act normal when I know that you are struggling with the horror of your past?... How do I live peacefully after knowing that I have unknowingly scratched your wounds?"
He rested his head on hers.
"I failed to protect women around me... I couldn't protect anyone!"
He realised that Rudra was right. He would want to bring Kabir back to life and kill him again but he won't be able to do that and it will hurt him for the rest of his life.
Mira shook her head.
"You didn't fail... I was broken but you fixed me and gave me a new definition of love."
She kissed his cheek.
"You changed everything into happiness... I feel safe in your embrace and that's your victory... You didn't fail!"
Damon just stared at her not believing that she has so much courage in her. She was his love but now she became his pride too.
He kissed her forehead.
"I am sorry for misunderstanding you... Now I realise why you were trying to hide it from me because it does hurt like a bitch... It's not easy to tolerate this pain... My heart is feeling like someone has pricked hundreds of needles in it..."
Mira looked at him with a soft smile.
"Should I fill your heart with happiness again?"
He looked at her sadly.
"It will take time!"
She shook her head and gently grabbed his hand, Damon frowned when she placed his hand on her belly.
"Feel your smile!"
She smiled in tears.
Damon looked at her stunned when she said that. Lone tears escaped his eyes as he mumbled in disbelief.
"Our baby?"
