AnswerHi, swati,
I'm not quite clear on the timing of the various events you are telling me about.
I don't know that your bleeding was your actual period. I don't see how the doctor can be so sure, given that you had an abortion that disrupted your hormones. Your hormones are delicately balanced, and any kind of disruption like that causes unpredictable results. The result is that a woman could bleed any time, and it's not clear what an episode of bleeding truly means.
Please know that condoms don't work.
If it has been 14 days since you had sex, you should be getting your period IF you were fertile at the time of sex. However, if you ovulated a couple of days later, pregnancy is still possible, but your period wouldn't be due for another couple of days.
It also depends on which test you used for pregnancy. Some are more sensitive than others.
I recommend you wait a week and test again. If it's still negative, to be absolutely sure, test again in another week. If that one is still negative, then most likely you are not pregnant from that sexual experience.
Since you are in India, I don't have any information on how sensitive the tests used there are. I only have information on how sensitive the tests used in the western world are.
If you don't want to have a repeat abortion, I highly recommend that you stop taking chances. Any time you have sex, pregnancy could be a possibility. Don't trust condoms. Find other ways to express affection. But please know that any kind of penetration into any opening in your body can lead to nasty diseases.
If you're not married to your partner, have a long talk with him about how he put you at risk and is willing to continue to do so. You deserve better. A woman needs and deserves a man who will cherish her and not put her at risk. If he is more interested in access to your body than your well being, think seriously about whether you want to continue the relationship with him. If you are married to him, of course you are entitled to have sex, and so is he.
You may find it helpful to learn how to tell when you are fertile. You must not be using any hormones, and you must chart faithfully, for this method to work. But short of abstinence, it is the MOST reliable method of preventing pregnancy. For more information, go here:

Good luck with this, and let me know how you do. Please stay safe!
