Vedant pov

I removed her top and when I saw her arms my eyes widened. Her left arm was burned very brutally. It seems like someone deliberately did it. She didn't even apply any anticipation cream. I looked at her and she looked away. She is trying to not look in my eyes and it made me suspicious about her.

" Who the hell did this ? " I asked her and tried my best to not shout at her.

" Vedant it's nothing " she said and removed my hand.

" Is this girl mad ? "

" You are saying it's nothing Manya it's brutally burned God damnit  and you didn't even bother to apply anticipation cream on it.....you now how dangerous it is. It can cause infection " I said in my anger filled voice and I can see tears start flowing from her eyes and that's the least thing I wanna see. I rubbed my face with my palms to calm down myself.

" Where is the first aid box? " I asked her but she didn't reply.

" Manya don't test my patience " this time I whisper yelled at her.

" In my room " she said and I took her with me to her room. That room has no bed , no mattress , no pillows.

" How does she live here? " I thought and looked at her and she lowered her gaze in embarrassment. Her behavior is making me more worried. I will ask her later first I need to treat her wounds.

" Where ? " I asked her and she told me that it was in the cupboard. I walked towards the cupboard and opened it. There was her some clothes neatly kept but there was no blanket and it made my heart sink deeper.

" Is she punishing herself ? " I thought but soon my eyes fell on the first aid box. I took it and walked towards her. I thought about making her sit but there was nothing to sit on. So I took her outside to  a small couch. I made her sit on that and start cleaning her wounds with dettol and she winced in pain.

" Held my hand " I ordered her and she  held my hand. I started cleaning it again and blew air there to make her feel better. After that I apply anticipation cream.

I looked at her , tears were flowing continuously because of pain. I wiped her tears and pecked her temple.

" Who did this ? " This time I asked her lovingly.

" No one" she said, lowering her gaze.

" Tell me the truth,wify " I ordered her but my voice was calm. She looked at me and our eyes met. Her eyes were screaming pain , guilt , self hate and what not.

" I did it " she said in a low voice. Hearing her I didn't understand why the hell she hurt herself so brutally.

" Why did you do that ? " I asked her lovingly but from inside my heart was aching just thinking about how much she felt pain when she hurt herself.

" I was punishing myself " she said.

" For what ? "

" For my whole existence " she said harshly and once again tears rolled down from her eyes.

" Wait a second, is she blaming herself for that thing ? " I thought and my heart skipped a beat.

" Why are you doing this to yourself ? " I asked her.

" Because a bitch like me only deserve punishment and pain " she said and wiped her tears off and it made me anger that  how dare she call herself a bitch.

" Don't even dare to call my wife a bitch " I warned her and she didn't say anything.

" How did you burn yourself ? " I asked her and I can see her changing expression and her expression giving me no relaxation.

" Tell me " I ordered her and she pointed. I looked at her finger direction and a tear escaped from my eyes.

" She is torturing herself with a iron rod "

" Why ? " I asked her with trembling lips.

" Because I deserve it " she said her gaze were down,  voice was low.

" And why do you think you deserve this? " I asked her .

" A bad omen like me just deserves pain " she said and I felt a pain in my heart.

" Who the hell said that you are a bad omen? " I growled and she looked at me.

" No one said this to me but I know I am a bad omen because of me my mother lost her life. I am the sign of the worst day of her life. " She said and tears rolled down from her eyes.

" Who said that you took her life huh ? You are the one who gives her hope to live , you came like a light in her life when she was surrounded with darkness. You gave her reason to smile. " I said to her cupping her face while she was sobbing.

" You are not a bad omen wifey, you are that  good omen who came into your mother's life and gave her a chance to be happy in her last days. You are the one who brought life into my lifeless life. You are the one who gave birth to our two beautiful children. And how can the one who can give a reason to live to so many people be a bad omen. " I said and she hugged me immediately and broke into tears.

" Why are you so nice to me even after I did so wrong to you ? " She asked between her cries.

" I am not being nice to you, I am just telling you the truth. " I said, caressing her back lovingly.
After five minutes she calmed down and broke the hug.

" Why did you leave five years ago ? " I asked her Because I need an answer . I can't live my whole life with that question.

" Because I thought I am not good for you and your family "

" Our family " I corrected her and she nodded.

" I thought if I stay with you my bad omen will harm you and this is the thing which I never want. I can't see you suffering. " She said.

" And why did you leave our kids at the door ?  " I asked her.

" Same my bad omen and I could not be so selfish as to keep my children away from their father. " She completed.

" What about that letter? " I asked her and she looked at me and our eyes met.

Manya pov

" What about that letter? " He asked me and I looked at him , our eyes met. His eyes turned teary remembering that letter.

Flashback

I was standing on the bridge over Godavari river. I closed my eyes and remembered all the beautiful days in my life. I was about to jump in the river when someone pulled me towards him by wrapping his hands around my stomach. My back collided with him. I opened my eyes and started wiggling in that person's arms.

" Leave me " I yelled at that man.

" No way dukhi aatma " that man said to me and I hit on his feet with my flats.

( No way sad soul )

He immediately left me and held his leg.

" Are you mad you silly girl? " he yelped ,still wincing in pain.

" Yes I am mad  and why the hell did you stop me ? " I shouted at him.

" Tumhe rokta  nahi  toh kya karta? tumhe daka deta?..bhalayi ka zamana hi nahi hai " he said.

(What would I have done if I had not stopped you? Would I have pushed you?... No goodness left in this era)

" Haa toh kisne kha tha bhalayi karne ko ?  " I asked him in anger.

( then who told you to do good?)

" Mere doctor ne " he said casually.

( My doctor)

" Huh? "

" Actually kya hai na mere doctor ne mujhse kaha ki din mein koi bhi do acche kaam karna...toh lo kar diya maine pehle accha kaam tumhe suicide karne se rok diya " he said with a wide smile.

(Actually what happened is, my doctor told me to do any two good deed during the day...so I did the first good deed, I stopped you from committing suicide )

" Kar diya na accha kaam now go " I said and moved towards that spot from where I was going to jump.

( ok you did a good job now go )

" Wait a second...tum fir se Marne Jaa Rahi ho ? " He asked me and I ignored him.

(Wait a second...are you going to try to commit suicide again? )

" Aree dukhi aatma ruk mein bhi aa rha hu " he said and stood beside me. I looked at him in amusement.

( oh sad soul, wait for me I am also joining you )

" Are you also committing suicide? " I asked him.

"I did not have any intention to do so. But after seeing you committing suicide, I remembered how many problems I have in my life and I am fed up with them. So I will also commit suicide like you, that will be easier." He said and was about to jump but I pulled him back .

" You have gone mad. Do you even know what will happen to your parents when they come to know that you are no more in this world? " I yelled at him.

"And what will happen to your parents when they find out that you are committing suicide like a coward? " He questioned me.

" I don't have parents "

" But what will happen to your child? " He asked me and I looked at him in shock.

" How did you know I have kids ? " I asked him.

" Oh you have twins, congratulations" he said.

" Give me answer "

" It's quite obvious looking at your stomach and I just touched it by pulling you " he said and yes he is right my baby bump is still there because it's not a movie in which heroine deliver kid and she got back her zero figure in a second.

" So miss ..... whatever you are instead of committing suicide do something good in your life" he said.

" What good? " I asked him and he replied that I should go with him to Imphal and work for orphan kids. And that time he gave me a new reason to live.

Flashback ends

" Mayank stopped me that day and gave me a new reason to live" I told him.

" Who is Mayank ? " He asked me.

" He is my friend and my colleague" I answered and he nodded.

" Where do you sleep ? " He asked me and I replied in my room.

" But there was no bed, not even a mat " he said and I replied that I sleeps on floor.

" Why ? "He asked

" Because this is my punishment for hurting you and our kids " I replied

“  and that time I realized that I even have my kids with me who gave me a reason to smile and live but she has no one.” Vedant thought internally.
He lay down on that couch and made me  lay upon him. He caressed my head lovingly.

" Manya " he called me and I hummed.

" I am sorry " he said.

" No vedant please don't be sorry I am the one who hurt you and our kids it's never you " I said caressing his cheeks. 

" I am sorry for misbehaving .... " I cut him in the middle by placing my index finger on his lips and touching my head with his. I can feel our hot breath.

" I love you Vedant Yaduvanshi "

" I love you too Mrs Vedant Yaduvanshi " he said and sat on the couch with me. My legs were on the  sides of his thighs. His hands wrapped around my bare waist. And my right hand on his cheek and left one on his shoulder. He packed my lips and then looked straight into my eyes and said " let's make new memories wifey " and I nodded,  opened his shirt button in urgency. He smashed his lips on mine.
