Part 56:
Arnav: Now what?? Speak up Dammit..
Khushi: No Arnav.. You wanted to talk and clear this out right.. Then do it.. I am listening., I give you this time to speak and make me understand where I am wrong and what I need to do.. I am giving you this time to kill my insecurities.. Because if anyone can help me doing that then its only you.. I am giving you this time to talk and clear out everything that you felt for me these months , right from the day we got married till now.. Just speak out everything Arnav.. Because I think you deserve a Chance to speala atleast if not anything else..
Arnav was tongue tied hearing this.. She was rude but at the same time she was hurt.. Very much hurt.. He took a deep breathe and then looked at her.. She wasnt looking at him.. She was looking in front.. She didnt wanted to feel weak seeing him in his eyes.. She needed answers today and she promised herself that without getting the answers from him, she isnt going to sign the Divorce papers either.. She was waiting for him to speak and there she heard his next sentence..
Arnav: Dont do this Khushi.. Just dont do this to me..!!! (He said in a very Hurt tone)
She couldnt help herself.. She wanted to face him , look in his eyes and try to understand what he was going through.. No doubt his only voice now could make her feel he felt the same for her which she felt.. SHe turned to face him and then replied back..
Khushi: Why Arnav?? Why do you always manage to hurt me? You know how much I hate seeing you with Aliya but you dont leave a chance to be with her.. I mean if she meets you somewhere for a formal Hello, cant it be restricted to only that much? What was the need for you to Hug her?
Arnav: Khushi.. I didnt think it once before hugging her because I trusted you after our consummation.. I trusted you that from now on you wont be worried even if you see me with her again .. Is it wrong for me to Trust you on this matter? We have lost ourselves in each other Khsuhi.. Completely..How can you still expect me to have some wrong intentions with Aliya again? Dont you think That Trust factor should be built in your heart for your husband?? Khushi.. I am in Fashion Industry.. I meet Hundreds of Models everyday.. Do you mean you would conclude me having some relationships with them if you see me with them anywhere?
Khushi: Trust? Really Arnav? If you trusted me then why didnt you tell me Aliya is also in Bali when you knew it before we left for there? Now dont tell me you didnt knew it.. She is your company Model and She was in Bali for her Photoshoot which surel meant you were aware of this.. Didnt you?
Arnav: Okay.. I was aware.. I didnt tell you becasue I didnt wanted to hurt you.. Who knew she would be made to stay in the same Resort where we were? Khsuhi.. Aliya Chapter is closed years back.. Dont open it again now.. Please..
Khushi: I am not openeing it Arnav.. Its you who keep being with her again and again before me which irritates me like Hell.. You wont understand what I have gone through all these years seeing you kissing her on our first night.. I can never forget that you didnt even confess to me about that night anytime..
Arnav: I didnt ..?? Really Khushi? Did you forget I had come behind you that same night in your house and your dad didnt let me speak to you. I wanted to confess to you that same night what you saw was something I never meant to do, but you never let me do that.. Fine I understand you were hurt? But did that mean the next day you leave for London? I came to know from Di that you left India the next day when I was again planning to come back to you and sort all this out?
Khushi: Arnav.. You could have come to London too to confess.. WHy didnt you>?
Arnav: Because of My Damm Ego Khushi.. I was egoistic.. I was stubborn.. I tried talking to you twice here and when you left me, I concluded myself that it was waste explaining each and every person what the story is..
Khushi: Not even to your wife Arnav?
Arnav: Khushi I told you.. What I was before? It was the other side of me which surely changed after you came back this time.. I started changing seeing your tears .. You remember the night when your car broke down and I gave you the lift? How we ended up in a small garage and there I confessed how much Sorry I was for hurting you all these years? Khushi that night changed me.. And so I took the decision of setting you free... And Divorcing you.. For even once I didnt think of the hard terms of the Divorce Contract papers only because I wanted to see you happy ..
Khushi: Why didnt you think of giving this relationship a chance that time Arnav? Why Divorce?
Arnav: How could I even ask for it Khsuhi?? We know in what terms we were that time.. You had no intentions in starting a life with me then.. How could I just ask that then?
Khsuhi: Why do you think I agreed on staying a Month with you in a same house Arnav? Why? Didnt you realize it then that may be I wanted you to ask me to stay forever?
Arnav: I thought you staying with me to save me from one Term.. I never knew you felt the same for me that time as I started feeling.. Khushi.. You were so rude those days.. You didnt even care when I had hurt my Fist.. Remember? You just walked away.. My tears, my pain never ever bothered you.. How could I even know this?
Khushi: Arnav.. Some things are to be understood.. I was the one to suffer more in this relationship. It was obvious I could make a Move from my end.. It had to be from you.. Just you..
Arnav: Which I did.. I proposed you Khushi.. I did all that during the wedding preperations of NK and Lavanya.. Didnt you fell anything at that point that things were changing?
Khushi: I did feel.. And thats the reason I agreed to remarry you Arnav and if you arent forgetting then I actually wished to sweap those bad memories of our first night and replace them with new ones.. That night wasnt easy for a reserved girl like me to initate something like that with her husband.. Dont forget that..
Arnav: Exactly Khushi.. If I would have just wished to take this relationship lightly , I would have also participated in your act.. But I didnt.. Because I wanted you to be clear enough before we taking the relationship to the next level. To understand you better and to give ourselves some time to know each other, I planned a Bali Trip..
Khushi: For understanding each other better you took me to a place where the person responsible for this was already present.. Wow.. Hats off to your Brain Arnav.. Only you could think something like that..
Arnav: Khushi.. I .. I just cant believe you now..After so much of explanations you coming back to Square 1?
Khushi: I dont know Arnav what I need to say on this.. I just can tell you.. I can never be secured with the thought of you and Aliya together..
Arnav (Damm Angry): Fine.. What do you want me to do for that? Do you want me to beg you for your forgiveness? Or you want me to touch your feet and confess to you that this wont happen again.. That I love you and only you.. Which means I would never leave you for anyone else .. Not even Aliya? Or if you are still not Convinced then I think me signing the Divorce papers only would give you relief Khushi.. May be thats the only way you can punish me and make me stay alone forever my life.. IS there anything worst than this that you plan for punishing me?
Khushi was quiet.. She was truely not able to take his explanations and help herself in sorting the situations..
Arnav: (After her long silence): Fine Khushi.. For the first time in my life I have left all my Ego aside and confessing something to you, because I Love you.. I truely do.. Other than assuring you that I wont be doing anything further to hurt you in future, I have nothing else to say.. You want to end this here and move On.. I am happy for you.. But from now On.. I would regert for 2 important nights in my life.. The one which was responsible to break my marriage 2 years back.. And the other night which I spent with you in Bali which surely gave me my life only to Kill me again today..
Saying this.. He started his car once again towards the court.. His teary eyes were not helping him drive. His tears were of no use today.. It never meant anything for her.. So he better doesnt shed them . But he couldnt help.. His heart still didnt wanted this divorce to progres.. He wanted his wife back.. He wanted his Khushi back.. Only if she could understand him here at this point..
*************
They both were before the Lawyer in his Office. Arnav was just blank today.. He had nothing to say.. He had nothing to Do.. All he knew was , his world was ending.. His life was ending today..Whatever relationship they shared till now everything was coming to an end.. The wretched knot between them had once turned into a sacred knot and then vice versa.. There was nothing he could feel now.. His body was totally cold.. He was cold.. His mind had stopped thinking.. His Heart had stopped feeling.. His body had stopped reacting.. All he could concentrate was at the Lawyer's desk where their Divorce File was placed..
Khushi was breathing hard.. She was recollecting each and every sentences that he told her in the Car while coming here.. She tried to get the meaning of each and everything he wanted to confess remembering his wet eyes.. She was sitting beside him on the Couch but she had no expressions on her lifeless face which was just looking down and trying to analize things from HIS perspective.. Thats when NK and Aman entered inside the Lawyer's office.. Arnav and Khsuhi both were shocked to see them here..
Arnav: Aman.. Didnt I tell you not to come here?
Aman: ASR.. If you forgetting then let me remind you, for Divorce again you need 2 witnesses .. (OKAY GUYS I DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS.. HAD JUST HEARD IT SOMEWHERE)..
NK walked to Khushi and sat beside her.. He didnt speak anything to her.. He just sat beside her..He too wasnt happy with all this.. He so wished his sister could change her decision.. Arnav and Aman were standing at the corner and Aman was also quiet like ASR.. The lawyer came inside and then greeted them all.. He then got seated and all the 4 got up and walked to his desk.. Arnav and Khushi sat before him and waited for him to speak..
Lawyer: SO Mr and Mrs Raizada, its been confirmed that you both need a Divorce?
Arnav and Khushi looked at each other.. She wasnt replying and he did it for her..
Arnav: Yes ..
Lawyer: And you very well know the terms of that irrevocable contract which you signed before made by your Nani?
Arnav noded a Yes..
Arnav: I abide to all those terms..
Lawyer: Fine.. Your papers are ready. You both just need to sign on them and then the Witnesses would sign.. Afterwhich you both would be legally divorced..
Khushi was in tears and so was Arnav.. As a Man he knew how to control them from flowing out his eyes but she couldnt help.. She just clutched the Dupatta and her tears were still flowing down continously.. Lawyer handed the papers to Arnav first and he took the Pen and stopped before Signing.. He closed his eyes to remember all the sweet moments he spent with his wife Khushi.. Right from the time they started staying in the Guest House.. How she hugged him when the currents were out, how he made her put the ring on her finger, how his Initial letter "A" was written on her palms on the Mehndi Day, how he had gifted her Bangles and she wore them for him , how they applied Haldi to each other in Gupta House, how they got remarried again with NK and LA .. How they shared some intimate moments in their Suhaagraat and then in Bali, he rememebred everything.. Even their conversation which they had just few minutes back in the Car which made him open his eyes and then sign the papers hurridly.. He signed the divorce papers as "ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA " and completed his formality.. Khushi was all the time just watching his face and nothing else..
He signed and passed the file to Khushi now for her signtaures and then got up..
Arnav: I am in a hurry.. I need to leave.. She would complete the procedure from their end now..
Lawyer: You sure Mr Raizada..??? You need to carry a copy of the same with you ..
Arnav: Hand it to Aman.. He would give it to me..
He said that and left the Room. Khsuhi knew why he left. He just couldnt wait for her to sign those papers.. He couldnt see her signing his almost "DEATH CERTIFICATE"
