Teja POV:-
I saw dad, Mr. Albert, Akaash, and Arjun looked at Tanish with disgust and rage.
" What the hell? How dare you show your face here? " Dad asked while caught him through his collar.
" Dad, leave him. " I said calmly, and dad looked at me with disbelief.
" Teja, I- " He was about to argue at my decision, but I cut him off.
" Dad, please! " I pleaded, and he sighed in frustration and left him.
" What are you doing here, Mr. Kashyap? " I asked coldly.
Hurt, sadness, regret, agony, and many emotions showed in his eyes.
" Teja, I am happy to see you awake. I know I have hurt you a lot. But I am here to ask forgiveness from you. " Tanish said with a heavy voice.
I chuckled, hearing his confession.
" Are you kidding me, Mr. Kashyap? " I asked while chuckling.
" No, Teja. I am not kidding. " He said and fell on his knees.
I looked at him with shock.
" Teja, I know my sorry won't change anything.
I didn't know you suffered enough in your past.
I know everything about your past.
I found out how you were about to be rape at the age of 10.
I found out how Nirbhik sold your dignity for his benefit with your rapists. " I got shocked when I heard this new information.
" Wait a minute! " I stopped him.
I turned towards dad, and asked, " What did he say, dad? What did that bastard do with my dignity? "
Dad lowered his eyes, and I saw tears in mom's eyes.
I shifted my gaze towards Mr. Albert and saw him looking at me with teary eyes.
He lowered his eyes when he saw I was looking at him.
I shifted my gaze to everyone and saw everyone lowered their gaze.
I chuckled as I realized it was true.
Tears fell from my eyes, and I shifted my gaze towards Tanish, who looked at me with pity and sadness.
I laughed after seeing his gaze.
Everyone looked at me with shock.
I wiped my tears and looked at him with coldness.
I saw everyone looked at me with shock and sadness.
" Oh, God. So, you are apologizing to me because you felt pity towards me, right, Mr. Kashyap? " I asked with coldness.
" No, Teja. Please, don't think like that.
I am confessing my mistakes. I know what did I do to you was too cruel. You didn't deserve that treatment from anyone. " Tanish said, and I chuckled.
" Do you even know what you did to me? Then let me recall you. " I said, and everyone looked at me with shock.
" Where can we start? Ahh! I remember.
Let's start with that insult part that happened seven years ago.
You know, when I lost my first child, dad and mom came to me and told me how I changed you.
I realized that I should accept your proposal, and I waited for you for the last fifteen days, but you didn't show up.
I thought when we met at our last exam I would confess my feeling for you. But what you did.
On my seventeenth birthday, you insulted me. You ruined my dignity in front of the whole. I was temporarily disabled at that time, but I used my whole power to stand up on my feet and slapped you. So, I can make you realize what you did.
But I hurt your ego at that time, and you waited for me for the last seven years to take out your revenge on me. " I said coldly and bitterly.
I was recalling my past.
" I came back to India and joined my first day in this hospital. I was found out about my mother's illness when you heard my conversation with Dr. Harsh Vardhan.
You got your chance and used my innocent mother's condition in your favor. " I said the last part with a cold chuckle.
" You cornered me, and at that time, I wasn't that strong in front of you. I had to agree with your conditions as I could do anything for my mother. " I said with a sad smile.
" But I told you to sign a contract with me, do you know why?
Because I know my mother's condition, I think my heart somewhere knew that I would lose my mother.
And I don't want to tolerate your insult after I lost my mother, that's why I told you my every condition. I knew that you could stop me from working as a doctor. That's why I added that clause that I would work after our marriage. " I said with a cold smile.
" In your arrogance of victory, you didn't think much about my words and agreed immediately.
You kissed me without my consent. " I said with disgust.
" The next day, you took me to the restaurant, and I drank a lot that day. You took me to the Kashyap mansion, and I found out Dad was the one who saved me from getting rape at the age of 10. I got a panic attack, and Dad saved me while kissing my face. So, I can distract myself from the panic attack. You accused me of sleeping with dad and questioned our pure relationship. " I said, and I heard gasps from dad and mom.
" Tanish, you???? " Dad yelled, and before he could say anything, I put my hands on dad's shoulder to calm him down.
Dad looked at him with disgust and rage, but dad didn't say anything to him.
After all, he understood. It was my time to make him realize his deeds.
I walked towards Tanish and sat on my knees in front of him.
He lowered his face in shame, and I made him looked at me.
" You assaulted me many times and accused me of cheating when Akaash or Sooraj proposed to me. I tolerated everything for the sake of my mother.
On the day of our marriage, Srishti was just the catalyst to make you angry, and boom, you raped me on our first night and slapped me. You made me your slave who do your every work.
For the last three months, you never understood my situation but found every way to made me do vile things.
But on our third marriage anniversary, you did something I never thought you would ever do. " I said calmly and looked at him.
" After the surgery of Mr. Mayor, just because I kissed Dr. Nicholas and Akaash twirled me, and I hugged my male colleagues and didn't notice you. You tied me and tore my clothes and whipped me till you wouldn't tired.
I pleaded, cried, screamed, but you became a beast that day.
I was bleeding already from your whip, but you raped me brutally as you were not satisfied. You raped me till I bleed from my intimate part. " I said coldly, and I saw everyone closed their eyes.
They were like they were imagining my situation.
Tears were falling from their eyes like a waterfall.
" the next day, you brought Srishti and fuck her in front of me.
You told me to treated her like a queen of your empire. While I become that bitch and your slave. " I said coldly and heavy voice. They looked at me with teary eyes.
" Tanish, I want to ask a question. " I said calmly.
" When you were doing all those things to me, just for a minute. Have you ever think about me and my pain? " I asked, and he lowered his eyes which gave me my answer.
His answer is a straight no.
" Tanish, I was your wife. You know, I wasn't sad that you treated me like a slave.
I wasn't sad when you raped me. Do you know why?
I knew you were not a man. " I confessed, and he looked at me with shock.
" Yes, you were not a man for me. A man doesn't need his buddy to show himself a man. He became a man by his personality. A man knows how to protect his family, not use someone else family for his profit.
A man knows how to respect a woman, not ruined a woman's dignity.
A man knows how to treat his equal, his wife. " I confessed coldly.
I stood up after leaving his face and said coldly, " You can leave now. I don't need your fucking sorry. "
" Teja, I will come back tomorrow. " He said and left my room before I could reply to him anything.
I sighed in tiredness.
I turned towards dad, and said, " Dad, please do your work. I will meet you at the airport.
I need to go to the penthouse as I need to collect something and meet someone important. " I said, and dad nodded.
He left along with mom.
After he left, I turned towards Akaash, Mr. Albert, Mrs. Albert, and Arjun.
" I am leaving for London. Mr. Albert, if you want to live with me, you could live with your family. But you need to live at my place as I knew Tanish tried to come to your home. " I said, and they looked at me with shock.
" Really, di??? " Arjun asked while coming in front of me.
I patted his face and replied, " Yes, dear. I don't want you to live without your parents just because of me.
But I am sorry, I can't accept your parents as mine till I won't feel from my heart. "
He hugged me enthusiastically.
He said, " Thank you!!! That is enough for me. "
I turned towards Akaash.
"I hope you can forgive me, Akaash. I am leaving you here alone. " I said sadly.
Akaash chuckled.
" Do you think I will leave you alone? " Akaash asked, and I looked at him with confusion.
" What do you mean? " I asked.
" It means I am leaving with you. My family shifted to London six months ago. They told me to leave with them. But at that time, I want to spend my time with you. I couldn't leave you here alone.
When I went to my training session, I submitted my resignation already. So I can leave this hospital. I know you are going to use a private jet. So, I can leave with you. " Akaash explained, and I looked at him with shock.
I smiled coldly at him and replied, " Sure. But how do you know I will use a private jet? "
He chuckled and replied, " It's because I know you too well. "
I chuckled at him.
" Alright, then we all meet at the airport. You all can go to your home and collect your stuff as we are leaving today. I need to finish a task alone. " I ordered, and they agreed.
After that, I went towards the cabin to saw my colleagues.
I bid them goodbye in my cold look.
After all, this is what I became, a cold person.
And I left towards my next destination.
