ONE MISTAKE..!!
" Nandini...I'm home!!!", a voice called out as soon as he reached in the mansion.
"Coming baba have patience." She replied in a jolly voice.
He smiled faintly hearing her response and slumped on the couch nearby and rested his head back closing his eyes. He had a frown on his face which clearly indicated how tired he was. But before he could complain or even voice it out he felt to soft hands being placed on his forehead giving him a massage and the slowly traveling towards his shoulder trying to release his stress.
He smiled in glee after knowing who's hands they were. It was their regular routine now since last 6 months that they were married. Everyday after returning home he would call out for his wife where she would be there near him in no time to release all his stress and make him feel like home.
But it's not necessary for things to be the same way they look like, is it?.
" Manik... why do you stress yourself so much. You should take care of yourself na?", "I can't help it Nandini. I'm the CEO of Malhotra Industries and I have to handle my responsibilities".
" Ya fine as you say. For now just go and freshen up, I'll put the dinner for you."
"Okiee!!" he replied and walked towards his room. While nandini went to the kitchen to warm the food and make it ready to serve.
She was continuously humming a melody. Seemed like she was in a really good mood today. Like her happiness knew no bounds. She was remembering their day of marriage. They had an arranged marriage , she belonged to a rich family, but definitely not rich enough to compete the malhotra's. How she thought that their marriage won't work out , manik malhotra being the most eligible bachelor would not even want to look at her. She knew that he married her only for the sake of his parents who requested him to give this marriage only one chance as they didn't want him to marry some modern party bitch who didn't know anything about traditions, relations and stuff. They wanted him to marry someone who they knew would never leave him and always be by his side in every thick and thin. But she was proved wrong. As even if their marriage didn't turn out to be a complete success they both still respected each other. Took care of each others needs. And most importantly they understood each other. They were not in love, but still they did make love too, as she thought it's her duty to full fill her husband's wishes and desires. And somewhere down the line even she knew that she loved him. But the respect that she had for him was way beyond that, and so she never expressed it. As she thought that would make him feel guilty as he was never able to love her. She knew he cared for her, and she felt that was just enough.
Yet now-a days it felt like things were going back to square one. He would return home late at night since a past week. Work load' she used to think. She was being royally ignored, yet she didn't take it seriously as she thought might be its because of too much stress' but little did she know that being positive always can even screw up your life a big time. And the same was happening with her. She didn't know what's fate planning for her now. And she was not at all prepared. Instead she was happy, glowing like a newly wedded bride. Cause today she was going to share something with him which might change their equation she thought' . Which she thought might make him equally happy as she was. She was just happy that he was early today not like other days this week when he used to be late. She was just happy that again after a whole week she'll get to spent some time with him, have dinner with him, sleep cuddling into him like she always did and loved doing. And that happiness that glow was clearly visible on her face.
She had perfectly set the dinner table with the help of few servants and now was only waiting for manik to arrive. What is taking him so much time? She thought. Just when she was about to go and check on him, there he appeared, descending down from the stairs. And she gave a charming smile to him to which he replied with a faint smile again. She found his behavior to be weird, as on usual days he used to just give her a slight hug and a small peck on the forehead before dinner. But now he didn't do anything like that, but she again shooed away those thoughts as she was just too happy to think anything else other than that. And she decided to share it on the dinner table itself.
Soon they took their seats on the dining table facing each other. There was complete silence at first few minutes which was broken by Manik and Nandini together.
Man & Nan : who...!!
(both smiled lightly at the co-incidence but the quickly not wanting to delay her excitement even a bit nandini asked him to finish off his talk first so that she can tell it to him after that.)
Nan: It's ok Manik you say first. It's not that important. ( but only she knew how important it was, for her, for them and she blushed at the thought but quickly covered up.)
Man : Are you sure? (he asked again for a conformation to proceed.)
Nan : Yeah!
Man: Woh actually, uhm...( he was hesitating at first but then again after taking a deep breath he tried to continue again while looking down at his plate continuously cause he was scared to see her reaction...) Nandini we both know that, this relation... OUR relation... I mean, you... and me... this our marriage... its not what we want... what we expect... I mean it's just not working, yo..you know that for a marriage we need love... yes we need love and there's no love in our marriage. I mean it's not that I never tried, yes I tried I did, but you know it just can't be forced right...and I ...
Nan : What do you want to say Manik? Stop beating around the bush and say clearly...( suddenly he heard Nandini's stern voice cutting him in between...and he was blank again...he closed his eyes tightly trying to gather courage but the next thing he said made the floor beneath her feet slip)
Man : Nandini, I'm sorry but...( after taking a deep breath and a pause he continued...) I love someone else, and I want to marry her. I want DIVORCE.
(She was shocked, stunned would be an understatement but above all she was hurt, how could she never see this coming? Or maybe everything was crystal clear in front of her, yet she was pretending to be too blind and dumb to accept it..!!.)
Not hearing anything from her he knew she was hurt, so he decided to continue... trying to justify and explain...
Man : Nandini look, I never meant to do it, I just don't know how I got attracted to her and then I fell for her, it just happened, and I couldn't stop myself, I know it wouldn't be fair on your side but please try to understand nandini, we...we are just not meant to be. We are...( and when finally he decided to look at her he found that she was already gone. Yes she had left as soon as she heard the word divorce. And he sat there being numb, like a statue, cause now he knew... the damage is already done.)
