Chapter 32

MUKTA

I kept looking at him as he kept talking to the lawyer. The lawyer was confused as he saw the Mehndi in my hands and then looked at me. My eyes were filling up with fresh ounces of tears that I was trying to hide badly in my big eyes.

Omkar didn't spare me a look and kept talking on his phone to his mother saying...
'We will be home soon!!!'.

I kept looking elsewhere as my chest felt constricted. I wanted to vomit. It was painful. But he stood there browsing through his phone like this was the most casual thing to do. He didn't care???

We were called to the room. The judge was sitting infront of us who looked into our file and asked us both to take a seat infront of her.

'Advocate Aniket...can I have today's newspaper please...' she said and kept our file and newspaper infront of us and looked at us...

'So...you both want a divorce???' she asked and I didn't have an answer. Nothing left my mouth but then I heard his voice.

'Yes Mam...ours was a unexpected forced wedding. So we want to seperate from. each other and free each other from this unwanted relationship'.

Omkar said it. He wanted the divorce!!!
My throat felt tied up. My eyes were again getting moist.

Don't cry Mukku...You are stronger than this!!! You are stronger than this!!!

I consoled my soul. The judge asked me the question too and my voice would definitely crack so I simply nodded.

To which the judge huffed and threw the newspaper infront of us and said...
'Read the headlines please!!!' and we were confused.

'Hmmm you don't want to??? Let me do the honours...

Business Tycoon Omkar Nayak to get hitched to long time girlfriend Mukta!!! Engagement tonight!!!
✨

The Nayak's Heir finds love in a village girl!!✨

The Demon has found his 'secret' fiance!!!✨

Business Magnet getting engaged tonight!!! Who's the lucky girl?✨

Know more about Future Mrs Omkar Nayak!!! Who is Mukta Joshi!!!✨

The judge kept reading various headlines from today's local newspapers and leaving myself and Omkar stumped.

'Is this courtroom, divorce, marriage some joke to you Mr and Mrs Nayak??? You get married, then divorced, then engaged??? What is this some marriage bureau that I run??? Is your lawyer some priest and what am I your wedding planner??? Is this some joke Mr Nayak?...Mrs Nayak??? Answer me?' judge said and Omkar spoke up...

'Mam it's actually our family... they they don't know about the divorce' to which the judge leaned backwards on her chair asking...

'Ohhhh so when are you planning to tell them? After getting remarried, having some grandchildren is it?' she asked and Omkar tried to speak up but the judge was clear with her verdict.

'Advocate Aniket...these kind of cases waste your and mine time too but even then looks like some silly ego issue is brewing up between them. Otherwise the couple who kept visiting the court hand in hand is not seeing each other's face today. I used to wonder what a couple this is who would first come to court, do all court proceedings hand in hand, share water from the bottle, feed each other pani puri at the Hampankatta circle, then go to nearby ideals ice cream corner share a tira misu and parafit and go home...I used to think these would initially realise their emotions for each other but no ego is a big lion. Enough to eat you raw!!!
