Split Personality
A romantic, paranormal and psychological thriller
Kotra Siva Rama Krishna
“But what if it was because of their coupling before the marriage? They were together before my mom’s marriage with my father and there was no obstruction to them from having it.”the deep frowns were just so on the forehead of Williams.
“Just few pages before while making her agree to marry your father, Stuart said that he took all the care not to get her pregnant. That meant your mother and that Stuart have protected sex between themselves before her marriage with Raja Prathap and there was no chance to her to become pregnant with Stuart. Moreover, if it was because of that Stuart, she would have been known about it and wrote like that in this book. No, Williams. You are absolutely the son of Raja Prathap and you need no doubt in that at all.”
“Alright then. Go on.” Once again Willaims closed his eyes and it appeared that Rose’s explanation satisfied him.
Rose started reading again after heavy sighing. “As time was going by like that we three went into the palace, which Raja Prathap has been constructed especially for his friends and guests. Anyhow it was also a favourite place to him and he occasionally went there to take rest. While we three were in it, suddenly Raja Prathap remembered some urgent work and he looked at us both.
“I need to go somewhere else on some urgent work. After finishing that I do come here itself. Then we three go away from here.” He said looking at us both and before I said anything Stuart said.
“You just go with peace of heart sir. Madam and your son are my full responsibility.”
However much I was in relationship with Stuart, I did not like staying with him all alone in that palace. In those three months or so of my time with Raja Prathap, I have lost all the feeling that I have on Stuart. But I knew one thing for certain! His remaining silent without bothering to maintain past relationship did not at all mean that he has forgotten about it. He has big scheme running and just waiting for an opportunity.
“We are so lucky! Everything is in the way we have thought. Raja Prathap believed you hundred percent.” When Stuart said that to me when I put Williams to sleep in the other bedroom in that palace and we both were all alone.
“Don’t say it is our plan. It is your dirty plan.” I yelled angrily. “Yes, Raja Prathap believed me hundred percent. I am feeling shame to hoodwink such a good person.”
“I have planned it for both of us. Don’t forget.” Suddenly his face became serious. “Just remember what type of life you have led before becoming wife of this rich man! Now what type of life you are leading? Is it is not all because of me?”
“I prefer to lead that dirty life rather than cheating good people like Raja Prathap. I never enjoy the richness and properties we get in this way.” I just could not control myself at all and with whole of my heart I wanted him to go away from there, from me but I knew that was not possible.
“I can understand you! You are too sensitive to digest these types of things. But if want to live with comforts, we have to do things like these also.”
Then for the first time in those three months after my marriage with Raja Prathap, he once again came to me and put his right hand around me and hugged me. I felt just like scorpions and millipedes were crawling on my body and wanted to throw him away with all my strength. In fact I think I did so but instead of relieving myself from his hug I found it has become even more strong around me.
“After very long time we are having it; are not we?” I just did not know how I was cooperating with him while he was gaining on me after laying me on the bed. I never have felt hate on myself for my helplessness and it was more than my hate on him. I felt every second of that like a year and I did not know how much of time has passed.
“You know one thing! For the first time I have sex with you without protection. Now I want my own child. It just grows up like the child of Raja Prathap.”
That idea of him indeed horrified me! With his brutal sexual intercourse, I was feeling pain all over my body but I managed to get up and started dressing myself. Long before he stopped treating me sensitively.
“From now on; we both are going to have it together occasionally somewhere. The long wait I have made for it is enough. I cannot wait anymore.”
“But what if ever Raja Prathap knows about it?” I was feeling wonder why he did not get that idea at all.
“I am not a stupid not to think about that at all. I shall take every care that he never will be known about our relationship.”
I did not believe him that he could do it like that but he did it. He particularly created such circumstances with his intelligence that we both could be all alone and he successfully has it with me. Raja Prathap believed him a lot very blindly and it was not becoming difficult to Stuart to get chances all alone with me. I just did not know how to tell about Stuart’s real character to Raja Prathap and I was feeling fear whether he would believe me at all even I said so to him. After marriage, Raja Prathap has become very busy and he was just sleeping after having it with me and sometimes without having it at all after reaching home. I just could not get a chance to talk with him. More than one year has passed in this way.
Then suddenly to my horror and shock, I have noticed one thing which I have not expected at all! I became pregnant! If I have become pregnant with Raja Prathap, there was no problem. I would have felt so much happy. But I have become pregnant by that rogue, bastard and scoundrel!”
“Just stop! Stop for a moment!” Williams suddenly sat straight on the bed. “So it is true. It is no more just my imagination or illusion! The resemblance of my sister with that rogue is not just coincidence. She is his daughter.”
“It appears like that Will” Rose said with a quickening heart. “I just don’t know how she has become sure about it so where it could have been because of your father also. Or it might be the pregnancy of some other child, not your sister.”
“How it is possible as my sister is just one year or so young to me.” Williams was still very much irritant. “The baby at that time was no other one but Jasmine. I have no doubt in it at all.”
“Shall we continue or stop it here?” looking fearfully into the face of Williams, Rose asked him.
“Continue, read the rest. Don’t worry. I don’t become emotional.” Sighing heavily Williams once again laid on the bed.
“After having periods at that time, it was only with Stuart I have it. Raja Prathap was out of station for some days on business work and I have no touch of him at all after I got my periods. By the time Raja Prathap returned to home, I missed my periods, checked with a doctor and found that I was pregnant. After his leaving home I got my periods and before that Raja Prathap and I were together and have sex, so Raja Prathap did not get any doubt on it.
After the birth Jasmine was just like me......” here she expressed that it was Jasmine. Rose paused for a second and looked into the face of Williams but his face was just as usual. If he was feeling any emotion in himself listening that, his facial expression perfectly betraying that. “.......in all respects except her ears and eyes, so Raja Prathap did not get any doubt then too. If anyone looked at Jasmine with a discerning eye he could see the little resemblance of her with Stuart but no one has got even a semblance of doubt about it.”
“Except myself after the death of both of them.” Williams suddenly opened his eyes and said. “Once I came to my senses and remembered the relationship of my mom and that rogue, I started seeing the resemblance between my sister and that rogue.”
“It is not just you Williams, Jasmine also has got that doubt after the illicit relationship between them both came into light like that. She started hating herself for that a lot.” Rose said.
“When did she say so to you?” Williams sat bolt straight on the bed and asked her with gathered frowns on his forehead.
“Only recently. I think after you have burst yourself on her so accusing her of her bastardised birth.”
“What a fool I am? How it is going to be her fault at all?” suddenly there was anxiousness sin the face of Williams. “Why sometimes I am losing control on myself I cannot understand!”
“Its alright Will, don’t worry about it.” Rose forced a smile onto her lips. “Just try to be nice with her from now on that is enough.”
“To that what I cannot give a guarantee.” Sighing heavily Williams said. “Sometimes thinking about that all; something is happening in me which I just cannot control.”
Rose felt an unknown fear in herself after hearing that but she said. “Don’t think so Will. Just determine in yourself that you are not going to be angry with your sister at anytime in future. That will do.”
“Why should not you hypnotise me and give me some programming like that?” Williams knitted his brows together.
“Good idea indeed! Anyhow let me first continue what I am reading.” She adjusted her throat and continued reading again.
“I was feeling guilty as Raja Prathap loving and liking Jasmine also as she was his own daughter. He is impeccably good and if he is not good like that and has suspicious and cheating character like Stuart, I would not have felt that much bad.
What was even more horrifying and disgusting to me was Stuart was taking advantage of Raja Prathap and enjoying me in the way he wanted. He knew very well that Jasmine was his daughter and so he used to show lot of love and affection on her. He was that much clever and intelligent that he could manage the matters like that until Williams and Jasmine have become six years and five years aged respectively.
How long the situation would have gone like that I did not know but on that day we both have been caught by Raja Prathap while we were having it together. He just has forgotten to latch the front door of that guest house and Raja Prathap straight entered into it and came straight into our bedroom. How long he has observed us so, I did not know but he would have heard the babbling of Stuart in which he said Jasmine was his daughter and he loved her a lot. He particularly said the resemblance of her eyes and ears also with him.
Raja Prathap has been suffering from a heart problem and he just could not bear what he has seen and the news that Jasmine was not his daughter might have unnerved him completely. Even more to our illicit relationship and the news that Jamine was not his daughter, the hoodwinking and cheating in the hands of a person who thought was his best friend might have made him suffered to the maximum. He suffered a heavy heart stroke and died on the spot.”
Rose paused for a moment looking into the face of Williams trying to understand his feeling inside then.
“Just go on. Of course, I am feeling emotional but not lost control on myself.” Williams said.
