Karma

Chapter 3

God knows when my husband and his parents discovered that I was missing. But after some time I saw lights and heard sobbing sounds. It was my fathers voice. I wanted to open my eyes and tell him not to cry but I was too exhausted and my body was aching all over.

My in-laws must have informed my father that I was in the hospital. My father is mentally very strong so I really wondered why he was wailing like a baby. But deep down in my heart I knew why. My child; she is no more. I just had a miscarriage.

Since my childhood I was taught to be girly and more feminine. The only cause for mine and every girl's existence is to become a mother and serve the husband's family and be obedient.

Growing up without my mother was the worst. Turns out she died while giving birth to me.So my only goal was to become a mother and not make my kids go through the hell i went through my childhood motherless. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense to many others but i didn't have any huge wishes. Just a small family of mine with my in-laws , husband and our kids.

But I have failed in all of them. I couldn't even protect the kids who were still inside me so what's the use of living in this cruel world without happiness. I have no right to continue living now. How will I be able to face my husband and his family or my father or even those neighbors who all care about us when they get to know that I myself lost the baby this time because I was a weakling?

"There is no need to abort the child. Yamini had a miscarriage" said the murderer of my previous kids

"Oh no! What to do now doctor? How is she?" asked my mother in law

"Well her condition is not good. We have been trying but she herself doesn't have the will to get up. And the miscarriage might have been due to extreme stress and her previous medical track too" the doctor told them. Hearing this my father sobbed more

"Now now come on Mr Gha it's not like something has happened to Yamini right? Please control yourself and go drink some water" my father inlaw requested my father but not in a polite way

I could hear my father leaving the room. "Why do you think she had miscarriage? That will bring bad luck!! Now if people will get to know about this then what will they think? They will gossip about this for days! Oh my god!" my mother in law whispered to her husband

"I knew getting our son married to her would bring us bad luck but you didn't listen to me did you? All you wanted was a young and beautiful wife for your son! It's all your fault!" my father in law shouted

I could hear them arguing on and off on what to do next because if I died then their son would become a widower and nobody would be willing to give their daughters to a widower unless they are filthy rich(which they are not).

Slowly their voices started becoming inaudible and I could hear machine beeping and many footsteps entering and exiting the room. I didn't feel concerned, in fact I felt as light as air. My body was not aching at all now. I could feel myself coming out of my body. My soul and I are one again. I could see the my heartbeat line as straight as a line in that machine while laid there; lifeless

Finally , I was at peace.

***

Okay- was this too fast? Her death? Did you expect it? I don't know if this is getting to you like it's in my head but yeah the main lead Yamini dies unfortunately willingly according to the story in my brain :)

I am still a new writer so please don't mind any unprofessional stuff you see here. I would be glad if someone corrected my mistakes or ask any thing that you didn't understand in the story.
I promise that it'll make sense in the coming chapters

Love, Anshu
