Tripti 

My tears didn't affect him a bit it seems. He was talking like a maniac. And it broke my heart to hear those heartless words come out of his mouth without any regret.

Why did he have to be so heartless.

Shiv ji, I don't know what you have decided for me. But I can't be married to a murderer. A sinner.

He should've been in prison, but I can't see him hurt. I'm bad for thinking selfishly. But it's the truth. I can't stand a chance to see him hurt, even though he'd done worse.

We were standing in the middle of his office and I was still trembling. But that didn't make me lose my stand. I was determined to get a divorce. Maybe he'd be considerate and leave me and my family alone? 

He doesn't even like me. Why was he forcing me to remain in this marriage.

He had asked what kind of husband I wanted him to be. He didn't ask "what husband I'd want to marry", the sentence formation enough sent the message straight to me. But I tried harder.

"Not the one like you", maybe he'll back off or change.

But him changing himself wouldn't erase the bad deeds he'd done. He had to feel guilty for changing and I don't see guilt in him. Not a percent.

On the top of it, why would he change for me. I was just a piece of possession for him. He was sick.

"I might not be the man of your dreams... But I would try", he almost seemed genuine. Key word- almost. 

"I don't want you to. Just give me the divorce and I'll leave your way."

"No"

"I'll never be yours Rudra! Why can't you understand! I would never look at you like someone other than a criminal!"

"Look however you want to. I just want you with .. me"

" Why?! "

" Because... I've set my mind on you"

"I'm not a conquest."

"Believe me you are more than anything I'd ever achieved"

" I'm not a 'thing' either"

" No. You're my Tripti"

Was that sentence supposed to be that warm? Because I fell for it for a moment. Not because of the lines but because of his sincere response. He didn't look affected as if spoke his mind.

"I'm not... Yours"

"You are"

"Only on papers. I'll never be actually yours"

" You will, soon"

" Stop this! Okay? Stop your drama! I'm done with this. Haven't you lied enough?? "

" I've never... Lied to you"

" Oh really? ", I scoffed.

" Yes. I hid the truth. But it's not lying"

" It's one and the same thing. But it's not the point. The point is, I need a divorce"

This was the sixth time I was asking for divorce. He was surely holding on his anger because what he did next.... Frightened me further.

He had punched the glass desk. Not once but thrice, until it shattered into a million broken pieces. Gasping I took his hand in mine. His fingers were bleeding badly. 

My hatred, anger, fear disappeared. I could only see his bleeding hand. Feel the pain. So I took him inside the washroom and cleaned the wound before dressing it with a bandage. Once it was done, I took a step back.

"I'm sorry for scaring you. I just ... Couldn't control the anger. The mere thought of you leaving me, makes me go crazy", he says while shifting closer. He was bipolar.

"Don't think I forgave you. I still want the di-"

In an instant I found myself trapped between a wall and him and his face inches away from touching mine. 

"Say that again and I'll kiss you"

"Get off me! Leave me... Move away!!", I yelled and struggled but he didn't leave.

It was a bad mistake to meet him here, in the lion's den.

"You're making me hate you more day by day Rudra", I whisper yelled. I was going to cry again. Since when did I become a cry baby?

"You can't hate me. Hell! You can't hate anyone! It's not your nature to hate. The example was just infront of you.... You tensed my  wound even when I was the last one you wanted to look at."

He was right but I won't accept it. It was harder to hate than to love for me. Because I see the good in the bad, but that doesn't mean he's not bad.

"I-"

"Tripti, I have thought of making out wedding public."

" No! Please no-"

" I'm not asking Tripti. Your family should know about us, the world should know about us. I know it'll be dangerous, with my enemies lurking... But one day I had to... It better be now. So Tripti my darling"

" We're officially going to wed... In a month."

" ARE YOU CRAZY?! I CANE HERE TO ASK FOR DIVORCE AND YOU ARE PROPOSING ANOTHER MARRIAGE? THAT TOO PUBLIC! WHAT WORD OF MY SENTENCE ARE YOU UNABLE TO COMPREHEND?! "

" I'll ask for your hand from your mother tomorrow. I expect obedience from you"

" Are you ignoring me?! I said give me the di-"

And I felt his lips on mine.

^_^

Stay happy!

Thankyou guys for the loveeeee.
