Mukti
“Mujhe mukti chahiye tujhse” he screamed on top of his lungs
“Mukti chahiye tujhe? 3 din , bas 3 din rukh ja phir tujhe mil jayegi mujhse mukti” she screamed back with equal fervor
“Haan toh 3 din mein mujhe talaaq de dena, wahan pe mujhe koi natak nahi chahiye” he spat more venom
“Mujhe tu wapas iss ghar mein dikh ni nahi chahiye, yeh ghar kya, mujhe toh tu iss mohalle mein hi dikh nahi chahiye” he added
She stood there shocked. What the hell had happened to him
This wasn't the man she fell for, was it all a facade? She began to think
“Chee Shiva Pandya, Ghin aati hai mujhe tujhse”
“Haan , tujhe ghin toh aayegi hai mujhpe. Mein tere padhe likhe , handsome doston ki tarah jo nahi hoon”
And the last thread of control she had snapped
“Tujhe pata hai teri problem kya hai? Teri problem yeh hai ki tu insecure hai, don't you dare project your insecurities on my character or on me” she said assertively
“Mere paas yeh sab bakwaas ke liye time nahi hai teekh hai, bas 3 din aur phir mein kabhi tera chehra tak nahi dekhna chahta”
“How did I make the same mistake twice? Yet again I fell for a spineless man. I had started loving you shiva, irrespective of the circumstance you always stood by me and gave me the bare respect one should get , but the man you’ve become into today makes me doubt myself for falling for you”
Falling for me?
Wasn't this a forced relationship?
Didn't she want to be freed from this marriage?
“Falling for me?” he asked in a low whisper
“Yes , falling for you. But today you proved it to me that you don't deserve me or my love.
I was falling in love with the impossibility of us-”
“Raavi-”
“Dont, just don't utter a word. I never meant to tell you that I started liking you but right now, at this very moment I want you to suffer with the guilt that you lost someone who would’ve done anything for you.”
“You were the man of my dreams until a few weeks ago shiva, but if loving myself means to let go off you then i'm up for it” she concluded
“Yeh samaj le ki mil gayi tujhe teri mukti, All the best for your life ahead shiva. I'm sure one day you would realize that our relationship was worth to be fought for”
And at the end everything was for nothing
