Chapter 93: chapter 93

Anika and Sanjay started spending more time together.. they were deeply in love with each other..On the other hand, Rahul and Gayatri took their relationship to the next level and one weak moment ,they became one, as a result Gayatri became pregnant..This news reached both of their parents' ears and Gayatri's parents were so angry that they slapped themselves for raising a daughter who became pregnant before the wedding..They stopped talking to her from that day...Gayatri was completely broken and has no way left other than marrying Rahul..whereas Rahul's parents didn't care about Gayatri.. They didn't agree for his marriage with Gayatri as she belongs to a middle class family..They wanted him to get married into a family with a business background so that it would add advantage to their business..But Rahul was stubborn and threatened them of leaving the house if they didn't accept Gayatri..Left with no other choice ,they agreed for his marriage with her.. this all happened when Anika was in final year of graduation.. Whereas Rahul and Sanjay have just completed their graduation..Finally, Gayatri and Rahul got  married and She entered her new house with a lot of hopes.. but her mother in law never treated her well.. She  always  used  to taunt her  for being poor and blamed her saying she trapped her son as he is rich..With Rahul around ,his mother used to behave normally with Gayatri but as soon as he leaves she starts showing her true colours..She used to find faults in everything that Gayatri does.. One day, Rahul's father said," Rahul you have  to go abroad for your higher studies""But dad, I can even do it even  here.. ""It's for your future Rahul.. we have listened to your request of marrying Gayatri now it's your turn to accept our request..""Ok dad, then Gayatri and I will go together.. make necessary arrangements.."You will be going alone.. we don't want you to get deviated.. it's just a matter of two years.. we are all here to take care of your wife and Baby.."but dad…""it's final Rahul.. pack your clothes.." ,his father said and left..Gayatri listened to their conversation and had tears in her eyes.. He is the only hope for her to live in this house.. without him ,she is like dust here..She knew how her mother in law would treat her in Rahul's absence.  " No, I can't stop Rahul in his career, I should not become his weakness.. it's just two years and he will be back..and meanwhile I will be delivering the baby and will get busy handling her"..She wiped her tears and thought " I should be strong to make him go"Rahul entered their room with a gloomy face.." He sat on the bed and said," Gayatri , you might have heard what dad said.. he wants me to go abroad.. while marrying you I promised him I will listen to whatever he says... Now he has this proposal.. I don't know what to do Gayatri.. I can't deny him nor leave you alone here for two years.." he rubbed his head.." Gayatri took his hand and said, " Rahul , i will be fine here.. don't unnecessarily feel guilty for me.. and moreover it's just a matter of 2 years.. they will pass in a blink of an eye.  I promise to take care of me and your baby well"After a lot of mental struggle, Rahul finally agreed to leave..And the real torture for Gayatri started the day Rahul left…The real torture for Gayatri started the day Rahul left...Gayatri's MIL called her maids and said," You two wanted to take leave for a few days right, I will grant you a leave.. you can go"One maid was responsible for cooking and the other was for cleaning the dishes and house.She called Gayatri and said," As you heard maids will be on leave from tomorrow,  take care of the work"Gayatri nodded and got involved in work , but because of the early stage of pregnancy she had nausea and fatigue.. her MIL used to taunt her saying you work like a turtle, even if the lunch is late for half an hour..She used to order  her extra work asking to clean that and this..Gayatri  rarely had time for lunch and dinner.. and breakfast was out of her dictionary now..Her mother in law made her life a living hell..Because of tiredness due to day long work and nausea ,she could eat very little..In Fact that was her in-laws plan.. Sending Rahul away and torturing her to the extent so that she can leave the house by herself..Every evening, she used to get calls from Rahul.. The only hope she is living with.. She used to forget all the pain she has gone through the whole day seeing his face and smile..Few days passed and while cleaning the house Gayatri felt cramps in her stomach.. She rushed to the washroom and saw she was bleeding..She immediately called Anika and said she wanted to go to the hospital.Anika rushed to Gayatri's house and was surprised to see Gayatri's MIL shouting at her for not cooking food.Her blood boiled seeing the scene in front of her.Rahul's mother stopped yelling seeing Anika.. She saw her at the wedding and knew she was Rahul and Gayatri's friend..She gave her a quick  glance from top to bottom and turned around to leave.." Aunty, I am here to take Gayatri to hospital, she said she has discomfort in her stomach".. Anika said..Rahul's mother had no reaction on her face and said, " Go take her.."Anika was worried about Gayatri and her baby. When they reached the hospital the doctor examined her and scanned her..She analysed her body and said," I am sorry to say this , her body is very weak . as she is in  it is early stage of pregnancy , might be because of stress she had a miscarriage".." It was like a shock for Gayatri".. the baby was her only hope during this tough time. Now even she left her..Gayatri rushed to the washroom and cried her heart out.. Anika controlled her, hugging her tightly..She insisted on taking Gayatri to Her  home but Gayatri was afraid of her mother in law.." No, Anika.. I can't come with you.. My MIL will be angry"Are you mad Gayatri ??why are you even tolerating her.. Do I have any other choice Anika??My parents are not even answering my calls.. Where will I go..?"Come to my house, I will take care of you"" No Anika , I can't.. my MIL will be very angry if I leave the house now.. I don't want Rahul to get distracted in his studies because of me...I will bear for him..", she was sobbing in between.." did you speak to Rahul about your MIL?? "Gayatri nodded as no..Anika fumed  with anger listening to her." Why have you become like this Gayatri?? if atleast Rahul knows about your situation, he will speak to his mother and there is a chance your situation may become better"" No Anika, he loves his mother to extremes and it will be very difficult for him to accept this fact and it will leave him worried.. I don't want to create any drift in their relationship"Anika didn't understand Gayatri's thoughts.. She tried to persuade her but it was useless..She sighed and said let's leave then..She drove to a nearby supermarket to buy fruits and dry fruits for Gayatri and dropped her home..Rahul's mother was sitting in the living room talking on the phone with someone when they entered home..Anika helped Gayatri to her room.. Seeing that Her MIL shouted," where are you going?? House is yet to be cleaned"Anika clutched her hand out of anger and said, " Aunty, I will take care of it.. She has miscarriage and needs rest"..Rahul's mother didn't respond to it.. in fact she is happy that now it is easy for her  to drive away Gayatri from this house.Gayatri was worried how Anika would do all the work.. she is not used to it.. she is a princess in her house. she looked at her with worry on her face.." Don't worry I will take care of it, come let's go.. "Anika made her rest on the bed washed  few fruits and said ," Keep eating, I will take care of the work"She walked out and called her mother and said, " mom, I want two maids immediately, one for cooking and other for doing household work for few days in Gayatri's house"She briefly explained to her mom about Gayatri's condition...Anika' s mom immediately sent their house maids to Gayatri's house.. and two maids started working.." Hey, who are you?? Who allowed you inside the house?? " Rahul's mother roared..I called them aunty ,they are my house maids who have been working at my house for the past few years.. Rest assured they will do all the work.." Who are you to employ maids in my house?"Sorry aunty, I didn't employ them in your house , they are here to help me and I am their employer..I heard your house maids are on leave.. till they come , they will be working here.."  I don't need your help,Just send them out..", She roared .Anika smiled, walked towards her and said slowly, " Aunty ,I am not Gayatri to not tell your doings to Rahul and moreover I can  complaint about you in the police station for harrasing your daughter in law  and and straining her for  miscarriage.. I even have a doctor's report..and for your information let me tell you, the country's best lawyers work for my dad and I will make sure you will never come out of jail.. " there was a threat in her voice..Rahul's mother panicked for a second hearing Anika." Who are you??"My name is Anika Hooda, daughter of  Anand Hooda, Hooda group of industries"..Rahul's mother was shocked to hear her..Their company was like an ant in front of Hooda group..She stomped her feet and went inside her room..Anika smirked and ordered the maids to continue their work and walked towards Gayatri's room.." Anika, what about the work?"" Don't worry ,I have arranged maids"" Did my MIL agree??"" Yeah she agreed, I have my own ways.  you stop giving work to your little  brain.. and take rest"..Gayatri nodded, took her hand in hers and said," thank you".." If you really want to thank me, then take care of your health".Gayatri nodded and slipped into sleep..Anika took care of Gayatri for the whole day and after feeding her in the night she left to her house saying she will  come to meet her every day regularly still she becomes healthy"..Gayatri felt grateful for Anika..In the night Gayatri received a call from Rahul..Seeing her Swollen face and eyes, Rahul was worried.." Gayatri, what happened?? are you alright" Gayatri had tears in her eyes when she saw him.." I am sorry Rahul I couldn't protect our child ,I had a miscarriage today".. She started crying like a child..Rahul had tears in his eyes when she heard about the miscarriage.. but he was more worried about Gayatri now." I am sorry Gayatri, I couldn't protect our child..and I am not there to take care of you in this  difficult time".. He felt so helpless at this time.." But how did this happen?", he asked." The doctor said, my body is weak", She lied.." Gayatri, don't cry, we will have many chances for conceiving the baby again in the future", he tried to console her..After crying for some time and after talking to Rahul she felt a little better..But the pain of losing her child was still killing her..For the next few days, Anika was coming to Gayatri's house every day to take care of her.. and Gayatri was also slowly recovering..Rahul's mother didn't dare to speak anything in front of Anika as she realised she belongs to the famous Hooda family and her father has many connections..
