- Prologue -
Silence! Everything else was white noise when they both stared at each other. The court was been adjourned after the final judgment. A judgment, they both were waiting for. In their favor, and still there was no happiness gleaming in their eyes.
She walked out holding back her tears while he left without a backward glance. That was all it took. They had their divorce, after 2 years of courtship. His eyes caught her through the rearview mirror one last time, before he drove out of the gate. She stood there staring at the car, a chocolate colored polo. It was a gift, from her loving father on their wedding day.
What an irony! She thought getting inside the vehicle. She will have to go back to her parents now, in the same car carrying the news of her divorce. Her hands trembled on the steering wheel as she switched her favorite car into life.
Maybe they were never been meant to be together.
She stepped onto the brake when a cop waved at her from the side of the road.
He wrote something onto his notepad and then stamped the same onto the vipers. She got out and read the same. She was been charged an amount as fine for not wearing her seatbelts.
"Miss, may I know your name?"
The elderly man asked.
"Khushi Raizada.. I am sorry, its Khushi Gupta now..."

He leaned back onto the car, his eyes tearing up at the loss. The rain was getting heavier and he did not make a move to get inside his car. He was drenched, and he felt his tears mingling with the rainwater.
He felt at ease, as soon as those tears left his eyes. He could not hold back anymore so he let himself cry. His hand clenched onto the colorful photograph, where he was pretending to be smiling while his wife was actually doing the same.
It was been taken on their 2nd wedding anniversary. Which was a grand event planned by both their families and they were been forced to celebrate the day they cursed the most during their 2 years together. The day, that turned their lives upside down.
He does not know as why he was crying over something or someone who never meant anything to him. Still, he felt lost, when he stood in the middle of the road, drenched in rain.
"I hate her..."
He chanted before tearing the photograph into several pieces and watched it being carried away by the rainwater.
Arnav Singh Raizada, was finally free from the clutches of the marriage which only evoked unspoken emotions in him.
It's good, that it's over, finally! The life of pretense ends here.
He thought getting inside his car and drove away from there, away from her. Forever!!
