A huge special thanks to everyone for their comments and likes. Here's the new chapter and so sorry for taking so long 😊
"Yuvraaj - what's this ?" Dadi questioned him . Yuvraaj saw Saumya who was bursting with anger. He wanted to escape but when he saw Suhani's brave and confident eyes , he knew he had to speak up.
"Dadi I was helping her . She's my wife and the least I could do is help her with her work . After all I've done to her"
"AND WHAT ABOUT ME ?" Saumya screamed . "You have divorced her for God's sake ! You can't cheat me and try and get close to another girl !"
"It sounds funny coming from you Saumya ." He remembered all the times Saumya tried to seduce him . He shivered out of disgust .
"Yuvraaj , Saumya stop fighting . Your relationship will deteriorate" Dadi spoke over them .
Suhani stepped in their conversation . She looked at Dadi with confidence and a new feeling - an feeling that she could do anything she wanted in the world .
"Dadi , you don't have to do anything. I will do the needed . I'm leaving this house . I've found an accommodation and a job . It's a small job but it will gives me a leash of a new life . And maybe for them too " She suddenly felt her cheeks going red and an urge to vomit . Yuvraaj noticed her face going pale . Suhani felt the room going fuzzy and dark but decided to wear the feeling away . She knew this was going to be hard and thought it was her body's way of reacting to it.
Dadi gave a smirk but soon that smirk vanished away when she saw Yuvraaj grasping on to Suhani who looked As she would collapse any moment . Their faces mere millimetres away . "Yuvraaj get off her , your hands will turn dirty"
"Huh what" Suhani mumbled as she did her best to pull herself together. She backed away from Yuvraaj's grasp and started to walk away . Dadi put her trademark smirk back on and trudged away . Yuvraaj turned to face Saumya who in turn threw a death stare at Yuvraaj and walked off like a diva .
*few minutes later*
"Here ladki , here is a blank cheque. Fill in an amount and that shall be given to you the moment Saumya and Yuvraaj marry ." Dadi handed Suhani a blank cheque . Suhani looked at it , like it was a unhealthy piece of food - it was tempting , all that money could help her . But it was horrible , would she ever be able to look in her eyes when she looks through the mirror ? This piece of paper would cost her self respect .
"Neither was I interested in the money then and neither am I now " she thought .
Suhani scrunched the piece of paper and put it in Dadi's hands .
"Good , you didn't even deserve it" Dadi remarked .
"No more Suhani , no more sacrificing your self respect . You've had enough . Don't try to be a divine . You are a human and let it stay that way" Suhani thought
"No Dadi , it didn't deserve me" she replied to Dadi , causing a gust of shock going through the hallway.
Slowly , she trudged towards the door . She could feel her tears brimming her eyes .
She closed her eyes and walked out of the house realising there was a thunderstorm going on . It was a huge thunderstorm but it wasn't as big as the one going on in both Yuvraaj and Suhani's hearts . Then Suhani felt Yuvraaj's hand go into hers .
"Suhani don't go " he cried out . Even Dadi , Saumya , Ragini and Menka could hear the desperation in his voice .
"No , don't make it harder for me Yuvraaj" Suhani replied , in a faint voice .
Yuvraaj held her face and shouted out,"I love you Suhani , I will break if you leave me" . Yuvraaj knew that the water on Suhani's face was not the raindrops but instead the tears from her eyes .
"Well if you love me Yuvraaj , you are going to have to let me go"
With that she let go of Yuvraaj's hand.
