My Prince Charming
Part 1
"Raj ji.." I murmured. I straightened my beautiful red lengha and pulled the pallu over my head, covering it. Sure enough, the husky sound of his voice wafted into the room. "Sarita ji...?" He questioned, clearing his throat. He sounded as nervous as I was, if not more. "Can I...Can I come in?" He asked. I nodded, forgetting for a moment, that he couldn't see my gesture. "Ji." I answered with speech. He walked in. My breath stopped. In his skin coloured Sherwani, decked with intricate designs, he was looking like prince charming himself. I swallowed. Concentrate, Sarita. I admonished myself.
"You look nervous. Did you want to say something?" I asked him, politely. He smiled, with an amused twinkle in his eye. "Sarita ji." He scolded. "How is it that you can always figure out how I'm feeling and I can't figure out how you're feeling... It's not fair, you know!" I forced a laugh. "I'm your wif-." I paused, horrified at what I was about to say. We're divorced. I reminded myself. He is not my husband, I am not his wife. Period. "Women always know." I said at last. "Now, tell me what's bothering you."
He gave another small smile. He was upset about something. But what? "I wanted to see you one last time before you get married." He murmured, softly. My breath hitched. He wanted to see me. Did that mean he was upset about never seeing me again? That couldn't be the case. And I didn't have the mental strength to hope that it was. I swallowed, forcing myself to speak. "I... I..." But nothing came out. He walked closer, placing his finger on my lips. A shiver ran down my spine at the feel of his cool skin. How would he react if I kissed it right now? But I quickly removed that thought from my head. I had to listen to what he was saying. Concentrate.
"Please, Sarita ji... don't say anything. I... I wanted to tell you something..." My heart fluttered in my chest in spite of myself. Were these the three words that I was aching to hear? But the next thing he said tore apart those hopes to bits. "I'm sorry Sarita ji..." He murmured, making direct eye contact. He was so sincere, but I didn't have the heart to hear the rest. "I'm sorry that I caused you so much pain. I'm sorry for being the reason for your misery... I've done some things..." He swallowed, taking a quick breath before continuing. "I've done some very unforgivable things... And honestly, even though I wouldn't expect you to ever be able to do it, I hope, one day, you can forgive me." My heart was breaking with every word. So this is what he had wanted to say. I shook my head, trying to interrupt. "No, Raj ji -"
He raised a hand, his eyes pleading for me to listen. "Please Sarita ji." He said, "Let me speak today." When he saw that I was making no attempt to stop him, he said, "You taught me to live, Sarita ji, you taught me to laugh. You made me a better person. For that, you will always hold a special place in my life. I sincerely hope, from the bottom of my heart, that this marriage will prove to be a new beginning for you. I hope he will be able to give you at least one percent of the happiness that you deserve. You're an amazing person, Sarita ji, and I will always pray that you have an equally amazing life. That's... that's kind of what I came to say..." He finished.
I didn't know what to say. I was stunned. An apology? He wanted to apologize? Before I could say anything more, he turned on his heel and walked briskly out the door.
