The Quill Part 3 - Page 30

They're soooo good together!! How can they just let it go??

Oh, the reality was going to catch up to them, sooner or later. But aren't they both fighters? And they'll let go of something so precious..

Purohit is scared of her because she abused his client over email? 😂

Maybe, the doctor's visit or the lawyer's impatience for divorce can kickstart something between them..

Pradyut seems to be sad and mad that she doesn't want anything from him.. he would rather have her battle it out with him!

When he points out to the lawyer how it'll be a divorce instead of an annulment, it sounds like he's reminding her of what they shared.. it wasn't merely a relationship on paper, like Pia would want to believe.

Though I don't understand how can her mum and family just let her be alone in the other house!!

She's upset and sad and pregnant and overworking herself.. how could they think leaving her alone will help?

Hey so sorry you guys. Havent been able to write in 3 days. Extremely busy with festivals. Will write definitely tomorrow night

Take your time. We understand you have a life.

Baby & Bathwater

She didn’t see him on that trip at all. She did think about him all day. How could she not. When she walked over to Munjal parents she was ready to be done. She had been ready for months. All of it centered around how she could find peace, Pradyut was her pleasure. It was just now sinking in, she had thrown the baby with the bathwater

Sitting there on the terrace that night it struck her hard. Life with Pradyut was over.

She went through the motions of moving everything to the new place.

Her mother scolded her for not even doing a pooja. So Pallavi Bhabhi and her brother’s wife helped arrange a pooja at the new place. It required a good 30 hours of cleaning, it was previously a grocery store and there was oil spills and grain spill and soap smell everywhere.

By the time the pooja concluded and she moved in boxes of back to school supplies, into the new shelving she had ordered she was too exhausted to open the store on day 6

Purohit called her asking when she is available to meet to wrap things up

“I cant meet for a couple weeks, I am moving, we can meet around June 15, after school reopens.

“Do you have other children?”

“No I don’t, I sell text books” she said quietly

“Oh yes, yes, yes sorry, my bad”

“That’s OK we are not friends or family” she smiled beguilingly

“Thanks”

“I am happy you are expediting this,”

“Of course Ms.. Bhushan”

“Thanks”

Harkeerat was almost a daily visitor to Rajesh Bhushan’s house in the evening.

Just making sure Taaruni doesn’t “forget”

“I am setting up the new store Uncle, abhi mahina lagega”

“End of June?” Harkeerat wasn’t too happy

She looked at him deeply

Rajesh Bhushan had left him nothing, had promised him nothing, she was honoring his memory and handing him a golden egg, this man was being impatient

Her mother was at Tushar’s since they were fighting every day

“Ma kidhar hain?”

“Tushar Bhayya ke yaha”

“Aapko akela chhod gayi?” Harkeerat was shocked

“Ma khush nahi hai mujhse” she admitted

“Kyon? Aapne sahi kia betaji, aur kitne din rode atkaate aap, company badi haigi Towers Partners, Ajit Singh Satnam Builders wala bhi…(shaking head)”

“Koi baat nahi uncle we will be OK”

“Tune mehnat badi ki beta”

She nodded tearfully

“Sorry meri energy khatam si ho gayi puttar”

“No worries Uncle”

“Chalta hoon beta, main yaha shaam ko, who Regency park hai na peechhe waha sair karne aata hu”

“Oh?”

“Zara jaldi karwana puttar”

Hmm” she nodded

Dr Mehere’s office called about the appointment, she texted Pallavi

“Evening at 5:30”

She texted Tushar “Tomorrow evening 5:30”

Tushar texted Pradyut “Tomorrow evening 5:30”

“Got it”

“Aaja dinner karte hain”

“I might fly back after”

“Raat ki flight?”

“Hmm”

She had to go home from the store and then to her appointment, she wore a summer floral dress knee length, and a plain peach silk scarf around her ponytail

Her bulge was more prominent now

She was swinging the clinic door open when a motorcycle pulled up. He removed his helmet and shook his now long hair into shape.

She froze when they made eye contact

“He rode in from delhi?” she was half livid and half in shock

A very pregnant woman and her husband stepped out using the chance of her holding the door open and not moving

“Thanks” the woman muttered

“Sorry” she turned away from her now ex husband and entered the clinic

He followed

“Ms Bhushan?” the front desk lady enquired

“Yeah”

“Please have a seat”

“Sir?” she enquired

“For her appointment” he said

Don't blame the girl for being fed up with her situation. But she keeps making rash decisions without thinking them through.

Now she is regretting that she left the dude.

He is here for the appointment. That shows her the concern for the baby. What about her? He has yet to say the words that mean something to her.

Harkeerat is looking for his share. A portion of the earning from the store will go to him. Then the siblings and Nidhi need to get a share. How much will be left for Tara?
