SIYAASAT - Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Swadheenta
I gave him the papers and walk past him to let him comprehend what I said. I walk slowly towards the desk, humming lightly. I place my hands on the desk leaning on it.
I close my eyes and wait for his reaction.

There
What! Why so much silence?
Why did the volcano didn't erupt? Abhi tak toh bhuchal aa jana chaiye tha. Hum Maharaj hai tum hume chor rahi ho, hume!
[ You're leaving me! ME!]
Hum tumhe chorte hai.
[ I leave you]
I rotate back and look at him, he is still standing in the same position with papers in his hand and eyes fixed down on them. I make my way towards him and stood in front of him waiting for him to look up but he didn't so I clicked my fingers in front of him.
" Kya? Khusi ke mare yakin nahi ho raha?" I asked him raising my eyebrow, he looked up and I was taken aback when I saw his eyes, they are bloodshot.
[ What? Are you not able to believe this?]
" You're looking like I have asked half of your property as alimony" I cleared my throat and stand straight, asking him sarcastically.
" Look properly I didn't ask anything" I flip the pages showing him I look up and found him staring at me.
" You not serious. This is all prank, right?" He asked showing the engagement invitation card like he wanted it to be a lie, I blink then move my hand around pointing with my finger.
" Do you see any camera? No, right? Then how it would be a prank"
" Look at the name who printed the card, look at the date which is one week from now" I show him all the things which are on-card prove it wasn't a prank.
" But we are married!" He said interrupting me, I shook my head.
" That's why I gave you the papers" I exclaimed.
" But.." he sighs closing his eyes then looking at me softly, he comes forward and grabbed my arms.
" Naraz ho na tum?" He asked softly.
[ You are upset, right?]
Itna thanda reaction toh mene nahi socha tha.
"  Nahi, if I was angry I would have slapped you, destroy the things here and most importantly I would not stand in front of you and talk to you softly"
" Then do it. It would be nice, your anger will come out but listen to me first" he place his bandaged hand on my cheek, and I shook my head and pulled away.
" No, I wouldn't listen to you"
" Swadheenta whatever you saw last night was ...." I interrupt him.
I just wanted to erase last night from my memory and he is again reminding me.
" I said I don't want to listen," I said through clenched teeth.
" And why would I listen? Did you listen to me when I begged you? " I demanded.
" No right"
No Swadheenta control you didn't come here to fight.
" Sigh the papers because after the engagement I have to do marriage also I'll send you the wedding card but don't come, ha I don't want my ex on my marriage, ok?" I said smiling at him while he look at me with a sad expression.
" Byee" I wave my hand and make my way towards the door.
What happened to him?
It feels like he is not Rehan.

Midnight club
" Please don't do this to me" I heard Ayaan beg.
He literally did.
I open my eyes and found him on the floor next to my chair begging me.
" Don't do this to me"
I rolled my eyes. " Ayaan don't you think it's enough overacting"
" Over acting," he said offended and get up " my feelings look overacting to you, you got saved from last night's fire but now you want to burn me and eat my kabab," he said.
" Last night's fire?" I frown.
" Yes, there is a fire accident that happened in that hotel didn't you see the news?" He asked, I shook my head.
I don't know about this, I only know when my eyes opened I was in my room. Maybe after I got faint the hotel staff contacted my brother and after the fire incident happened. Yeah, this is true or else Bhai would've not let me go anywhere.
" Last night Suhani said yes for marriage and now you're saying engaged to you" he grabbed the armrest and move my chair to make me look at him.
" Did I ask you to don't do marriage? Get engaged to me and then marry Suhani"
" This is not how it happened and don't you think this is enough if your boyfriend doesn't want you anymore it won't hurt him, you can marry anyone" he gave me a lecture on what to do after a breakup but my anger goes up and up listening to him.
" He is not my boyfriend, he is my damn husband from whom I wanted a divorce " I screamed standing up.
" Husband? Divorce?" Ayaan repeated.
" How?"
I sigh and then tell him all the things from the beginning. I feel emotional after telling him and last night's memory hurts so badly.
" You have no idea what I did from him" I grabbed Ayaan's collar shaking him.
" I put my life in danger from him. Didn't even think for once before touching the clothes which might have poison, I didn't even think for once about my family or what happened to them if something happened to me but I didn't think about anything and what I get in return Ayaan?" I shake him.
" What?" I screamed " seeing him propose to the girl I hated in front of me, showing me, rubbing salts on my wound" the tear escaped from my eye.
I leave him and turned back, wiping my tear angrily.
" I just wanted divorce but he deliberately asked me to come and showed me everything, it hurts Ayaan it hurts so bad" I mumbled looking down.
" And I wanted to hurt him as well that's why I did that but it's ok I understand I shouldn't have done this to you"
" Swadheenta"
" It's ok I shouldn't have done this" I nodded.
" Swadheenta" he places a hand on my shoulder.
" No it's fine" I rolled my shoulder.
" Swadheenta"
" No" I again rolled my shoulder.
" Aree sun toh le" he said shaking my shoulder.
[ Listen once]
" Kya?" I turned and my eyes widened when I saw Rehan there.
[ What?]
Shit! Hope he didn't listen to anything.
" Swadheenta" he come forward, glared at Ayaan then his features soften when he looks at me.
" Swadheenta I know you don't want to listen but ...." I interrupt him.
" Ayaan the date is fixed but our dresses still aren't decided," I asked Ayaan, he is looking at us then nodded unsurely.
" Swadheenta I know you're angry but listen to me for once..." I again interrupt him.
" Ayaan, what do you think we should wear for our engagement combination or contrast?" I looked at Ayaan and glance at Rehan I can saw him getting angry, fist and jaw clenching.
He didn't like when someone interrupt him while talking. He has the habit of everyone listening to him and obeying him.
" Swadheenta listen to me" I for the third time interrupt him.
" Ayaan"
" That's it" I heard him and feel a grip on my wrist dragging me outside of my office.
" Rehan you can't touch me," I said but he ignored me dragging me inside his club.
" Rehan," I said as we entered his office and I stop in my track when I saw the people in front of me.
Roma and her father.
Now, what does he wants? Ohh they must b here for horoscope matching he wants me to see this too.
I glare at Rehan.
" Tell her the truth" Rehan ordered Roma and I frown when I saw Roma flinch from fear.
" I'm... I'm sorry" Roma stutters my frown deepened.
" I shouldn't have done this, I shouldn't have stood in your position. Whatever last night happened for you the ring photo which I sent was also for you everything was for you"
This means the proposal and ring were for me.
But why?
" I'm sorry Swadheenta, we were friends, right?" she come forward and grabbed my hands" forgive me and save me and my Dad from coming to the road" she requested then I glance at Rehan and then back at Roma.
" If you forgive me and my father then Rehan will also forgive us" I can see the desperation in both her and her father's eyes.
" Why would I?" I snatch my hands and she looked at me shocked.
" What!" She exclaimed.
" Yes " I walk past her " we were never friends, you didn't leave any chance to humiliate me, mock me and what not so why should I forgive you now I understand why it all happened"
" You " I look towards her father " it was all your plan to give Rehan the partnership and then ask him to marry Roma," I asked angrily, and he look down.
" This was not a competition in fact it was Roma's swoyamwar who is capable I'll give him a partnership and her hand, amazing" I clap.
" You have wasted not only my and Ayaan's time but others as well, you don't know how much hard work I put into that project, but " I sigh. " Matlab me acchi hu par itni bhi nahi"
[ I'm good but not this much]
" Whatever is happening, you both deserved it," I said and both of their faces turned pale.
" No, no, no I'll come on road" Mr Kapoor mumbled and the security comes in and dragged both of them out.
" So now you know that whatever happened last night is a misunderstanding" I heard his voice and remember there are still things left.
" Yes" I turned towards him and he smiled I also smile and walk towards him.
" Did you sign the papers?" At my question, his smile dropped.
" Why?"
" What why? I can't do the engagement if you don't sign the papers" I said shrugging my shoulders.
" What the hell Swadheenta? She clearly said she deliberately stood in your place then why are you still upset?" He comes forward, raising his voice slightly.
" So what?" I rolled my eyes, crossing my hand across my chest.
" So what! What more do you want?" he comes into my personal space.
" First of all Rehan I'm not your wife anymore I'm someone to be fiance and he won't like someone standing this close to me" he again fisted his bandaged hands, isn't he is feeling pain? I take a step back " and about what I want more? I don't want anything else other than divorce"
" But Roma..."
" I know why you did all this proposal thing? First you like her then she starts pressurizing you for marriage and to stop this you from a plan like you'll propose me and Roam will leave you away" he shook his head.
" And maybe I'll also come back but Shehzaade " I put my arms around his neck.
" Roma.."
" Phir Roma"
[ Again]
" Roma is not that main character in our story, she came after. The main characters are me and you and our relationship which broke. It didn't break when you stop me from slapping Roma it broke when you slapped me " I raise my eyebrow even now I'm feeling pain remembering this and also I see guilt and emotion in his eyes.
" It didn't break when you propose Roma last night, it broke when you said I'm no longer your wife when I take off my mangalsultra and give it to you"
" Swadheenta I..."
" Shh let me continue"
" and yes relationships also don't break  signing some papers. Relationships both form and broke from hearts " I pulled away " or apna rista toh bohot pehle toot chuka" I place my hand on the papers which were laying on his desk.
[ Our relationship is already broke]
" Hum nahi tutne denge" I look up at him there was determination in his eyes.
[ I will not let it break]
" When you left Madhavgarh you said marriage stand on three pillars love, trust and respect. I'll again build these pillars and strengthen our relationship"
" You can't do this" I whispered, he chuckled a little.
" I will" he smiled and I feel angry at his confidence.
He can't do it.
I go towards the door.

Night
Mansion
Rehan Pratap Singh
" Bhabhi gave you the divorce papers?" Soham asked.
" Ahh aram se" I groaned from pain when Dev wrapped the bandage tightly around my hand. I didn't realise I messed up my wound.
" Done" he cut the extra bandage and leaned back on the couch.
" I still can't believe it Bhabhi gave you the divorce papers?" Soham asked sitting in front of me at the table.
" The girl who you scared so much but still didn't ready to leave you now when you cleared all the misunderstanding still wants to leave you?" Soham asked surprised and I nodded.
Because she always accepted me and this relationship from her whole heart but I broke both her heart and relationship.
" You know divorce doesn't happen like that if you demand time from the court you'll get 6 months to rekindle the relationship and Bhabhi is forced to come and live with you under one roof" Karthik suggest, coming and standing next to Soham who is still sitting on top on the coffee table.
" I have an idea too," Soham said, " if Rehan buys the shares of Midnight club and threatened Bhabhi to leave the divorce and come back to him then she is forced to accept this" he raised his eyebrows asking for feedback.
" I have a more nice idea," I said and everyone look at me " this all will take time the best is I'll go and place the gun on Aarav's head and you guys know how much your Bhabhi loves her brother she'll immediately accept my every demand, isn't it?"
" Ohh right," Soham said and I kicked his foot.
" What!"
" What? Thank god that my hands are not fine or else you both won't be fine, if I want to force her to come back why wouldn't I have done this before?"
" But you can tell this how you safe her from fire not caring about yourself" Dev said.
" She also saved my life many times or humne usse isliye nahi bachaya kyuki hum uspar ahesan jata sake"
" She doesn't want to come back and if I forced her she'll hurt or fir hum usse pyaar karte hai yeh kehne ka haq kho denge But this doesn't mean she won't come back"
" She'll I'll make sure "
" Or unta hi khush hoke jinta phele aayi thi"
