Story: Tainted Bride

"It's been a long time since I met your parents, and I'm thinking of taking you to them too. How about let's go tomorrow?"

Divya smiles widely and hugs Prakram, and Prakram starts looking towards the front, where Armaan is standing. Divya is delighted that he was able to bring everything to life earlier.

During dinner, Prakram's eyes are constantly on Divya, who is eating very well today, and like every day, she has also served food to Prakram, due to which he is eating slowly. He looks at Armaan. He has directed his gaze towards Armaan, who is wearing a very sad face, but he completely diverts his attention while eating quietly. At night, when Divya is sleeping, Prakram gets up from bed and goes out because he knows very well that Armaan must be waiting for him. And as he had guessed, Armaan was waiting for him.

"Arman's any problem..."

"Sir, your guess was absolutely right: Divya will definitely say something to the doctor, due to which the child may be harmed, or she may do something that is not right. The doctor did what she said because you told her to. She should do whatever Divya tells her."

"And what exactly did Divya tell the doctor?"

Armaan Prakram starts watching the recording, which he had filmed because he was already present in the doctor's room hiding there, and Prakram had already alerted the doctor that his wife is very careless about the baby and she will do anything to hurt the baby under any circumstances. She wants to harm the baby at any cost. She knows Prakram very well, and at the same time, no one knows that Digvijay has borne the entire expense of her education, so she is very loyal to them. Prakram is more grateful, as he has clearly told her that he has to do only what Divya asks her to do. Prakram starts watching the recording.

IN RECORDING

"Doctor, the man sitting outside has forcibly taken me into his clutches. Please make me talk to my father by any means. I must take all necessary measures to protect myself from this man. He is a rapist and is forcing me to get pregnant."

Prakram is shocked after listening to Divya; he never imagined that she had accused him of being a rapist. However, he continues to look at the recording. Armaan closed his eyes and informed Prakram.

"We already tapped her father's phone, so their whole conversation is here."

The doctor deliberately makes an expression of extreme surprise and gives her phone to her while looking outside. Divya immediately dials her father's number and puts the phone in her ear; within a few rings, the person in front picks up the phone.

"Papa… You are not coming to meet me; he is not allowing me to meet you. I am not able to understand what is happening. You guys have told me that you will kill all of the Bundela family members within a year. You will take me in and free me from this marriage."

"Stop your nonsense; you know you are talking on someone else's phone. First, make me talk to the doctor, and then I will talk to you."

Divya gives the phone to the doctor, who then takes it and starts talking to Divya's father.

"Yes..."

"I want you to completely forget what you just heard, as you haven't heard anything at all. I'll give you one crore tomorrow to help you forget this."

The doctor starts looking at Divya with a smile, due to which Divya is completely sure that the doctor is going to support her.

"Yes, sir, I don't remember anything."

Divya starts talking to her father again.

Papa, I am not able to understand anything; neither does Prakram talk to me properly, nor is there anyone else present in the house. He has also thrown out Sandhya and Digvijay from here, and here I have to see his face the whole day because he has been guiding me throughout the day. I am unable to take any action, nor can I communicate with you or anyone else over the phone.

"I also tried to meet you several times, but every time he said that you were pregnant, he wouldn't let you go anywhere, and whenever you call, I get the feeling that he is around you, so I don't talk properly."

"Papa, do something. I am getting very worried. I don't know anything. You still killed Prakram. I don't care what you want to do next."

"Shut up… You don't even realize that at this time Prakram is in the position where everyone wants to reach, and because of you, whatever information we get is becoming very beneficial for me and Manjeet. The Bundela family has to die; just let him live for a little more time."

"Papa, what should I do now? Tell me what I should do at this time. My thoughts are becoming increasingly jumbled, and I can no longer bear this man in my life."

"You will have to tolerate this man for some time, and anyway, I feel that he has become suspicious of us. That is why Prakram is behaving like this; you just have to maintain your position by supporting and loving the child. You know that Prakram loves this child."

"Prakram loves this child until he doesn't know if it is his or not; even I don't know if it is Prakram's or Manjeet's."

The doctor gazed at her with peculiar eyes, yet she immediately conveyed her message.

"Give me medicine so that this child slowly dies in my stomach."
