"why the hell do you need divorce from me???"
Riddhima screamed in pure frustration as soon as they both entered their house, leaving their anniversary dinner at bay, after their confession to eachother
"it doesn't matter anymore....you want the same....."
"i want to know the reason....
Iam doing all my duties....
From making breakfast to handling your home...then why the hell do you feel like a victim in this marriage....
Are you having an affair?????"
"have you lost your mind riddhima.....
You too work with several men in your hospital....have i ever questioned about them to you....no right....then how could you even think that i would cheat on you...."
"then what explanation do you have for wanting divorce from me...."
"WHAT IS YOUR EXPLANATION HAAN....
Am i not good enough for you now???
Now that you have become all independent, you don't need me anymore "
"i was always independent for your information
Just because i took a break from my career after our marriage doesn't mean that i was dependent upon you...."
"FINE THEN...
If we both want the same thing then lets just cut to the chase....
Once sia gets married....we will tell the entire family that we had decided to part our ways...."
"its a done deal then....."
Were the last words exchanged between them before they slammed the door of their respective rooms and went off to bed, crying at their broken relationship....
..........................................................
Gulping her saliva, riddhima looked at the entire family who stood at the gate of VR mansion to welcome them with flowers
"we have been pretending to be a happy go couple infront of our friends...it wont be difficult to do it infront of our family either....
So smile sweetheart"
Plastering a fake happy smile over their faces, they both ran to hug dadi, whose eyes were leaking with happy tears seeing her children after long 2 years
"sejalll"
Riddhima squealed in happiness seeing her bestie who was standing beside her husband (aryan) and caressing her protrudent belly....meanwhile vansh hugged angre who was beaming with happiness meeting his boss after soo long
"riddhimaaaaa....my janaaaaa....i missed you soooo much"
Sejal exclaimed as she dramatically wiped her fake tears
"oh drama queen...stop your melodrama alright....I highly doubt my niece or nephew is gonna inherit your acting skills....."
" I doubt that too....
Aryan said with a laugh only to be elbowed harshly by his pregnant wife, who glared at him angrily
"I was kidding darling...."
Aryan cooed making everyone laugh
"Soo riddhu....when are you giving us good news"
Sejal teased, but it was enough to make riddhima and vansh go all pale
"Seju yaar...i just got here and you...."
"Acha baba sorry...."
"Riddhima....."
Ishani hesitatingly called out for her only to be engulfed in a tight warm hug by her......
"Good to see you ishani...."
"Good to see you too riddhima "
"Okay okay...will you all stand at the door whole day???? let them come inside and freshen up....
Tonight is sia's engagement "
Dadi said as she led them all inside
"Where is our little bride to be???"
Both riddhima and vansh questioned at the same time, and felt an instant awkwardness surround them
"She has gone to parlour...
She kept waiting for you two but your flight got delayed so i sent her off to get ready", ishani explained
"You two go to your room and freshen up....
I have gotten your room all arranged....just like you two liked...."
Nodding obediently both made their way to their room
As the door open, a sudden feeling of nostalgia overpowered their senses as tears made their ways down their eyes....
Soo many memories, soo many beautiful moments....
Oh what the irony was....the have left this room with their relationship soaring high on power but today, they returned with a crumbled relationship.....
Not able to control more, riddhima gathered her clothes and rushed to the restroom before she could burst out into tears whereas vansh laid down on the bed with a thud, silent tears escaping his eyes as their beautiful memories flashed before his eyes
..........................................................
"Bhaiiiii bhabhiiiiiii" , a beautifully dressed sia screamed in excitement as she ran across the hall to engulf her dearest brother and sister in law....oh how badly had she missed them in these two years, despite the constant video calls that eventually turned occasional to almost non existent curtesy their busy schedule.......
"You look like a princess sia", riddhima complemented as she kissed her forehead lovingly
"Yup, princess of joker land", vansh joked making sia pout....
"Bhabhi see na...he is teasing me on my big day.....you take good class of him afterwards okay.....just like you used to do before "
Smiling awkwardly, riddhima nodded her head and led her to the stage where her would be husband, vyom, was waiting for her.....
As the couple proceeded to exchange the rings, vansh and riddhima couldn't help but recall their own engagement........
Oh how fast the night changes
.............................................................
Unbuckling his watch, vansh was busy in thinking of ways to break the heart wrenching news of their divorce to the family
The situation would have been soo different two years back.....
Two years back, almost all of his family members except sia and dadi, wanted them to part their ways....
But today.....
When they all have changed for good.....this news would be nothing less than a bomb blast over their head......
"Bhai"
"Ishani...what are you doing here??"
"Bhai....i want to talk about something really important...
I know I should have waited till sia's marriage but i couldn't "
"Iam listening ishani....go on"
"I.....IAM DIVORCING ANGRE"
