Don't look me like this...! I know you are shocked... But I don't wish to go from here. I understood that my brother killed my sister in law. I thought she went missing. So I think that I should stay here... I deserve this punishment... You can punish me because my brother is culprit...,", Ritika said crying heavily....

Continuation

"Who told all these things to you...?" Asked Ritesh confusingly...

"Nakul... But don't scold him...pls " Pleaded Ritika.

He nodded.

"Why did you hide this truth from me..." Ritika asked while crying.

"One our wedding day, When I came here with you I thought to tell all these things to you.... But after somedays I understood that you are very naive... I felt that if you knew the truth, you would not be able to bear it... So I remained silent... I don't want to break the trust between your brother and you... "Said Ritesh.

"So you care about us...?" Asked Ritika confusingly.

"No I don't want to care about that fraud..." He Said angrily...."but I care about you..." he said unknowingly....

"What..?" She asked in shock. She don't know why she become happy inside.

Ritesh understood his words and closed his eyes in embarassment and said..."I.. i mean as a friend... Don't misunderstand me"

Ritika just looked at him.

Ritika's POV

I can't understand this man! He is so weird.... he says he hates me.. but sometimes his actions reveal that he cares for me... but he doesn't admit it...! Very strange..

Ritika's POV ends

He waved his hands and she came back to her sense.

"Hloo... What happened... Mrs. Crazy.."asked Ritesh.

"Nothing.."she said.

" I want to say something to you... Before sometimes you didn't allowed me to complete my words...but I want to say this right now.. so listen to me patiently..."he said. She nodded.

" Look... I understood that you are not like your brother. You just proved it. So I think that I don't deserve you. You will never get a happy life with me. It is true that I don't hate you but that doesn't means that I like you. We can become friends forever. I can never accept you because my heart belongs to other woman... That is my Sona. And my mother also become happy if I leave you. So I decided to file our divorce case after discussing with maa..." He said.

"But I don't want divorce... And I don't hate you..." She said. She was very heartbroken.

"before sometimes, you are the one who said that you hate me... now you're saying that you don't hate me... I know you very well. You are just trying to accept me as a atonement to your brother's fault...Am I right?" He asked smiling faintly.

She nodded and looked down.

"What if maa oppose this decision...?" She asked.

"I know my maa.. she will accept it..and I'm doing this only for her." He said.

"But please listen to me..." She pleaded.

"Please let me go from here... I hate you.." he said rudely and left from there. Ritika sat down on the sofa and cried....

Next day

At evening

Everyone was sitting in hall. Ritesh was sitting there after coming from office. he didn't saw Ritika till now. His eyes were searching for her. Suddenly she came there with tea. She served to everyone. Ritesh was only looking at her. But she was avoiding him. He sighed.

" Maa... " Ritesh called. She avoided him. He was really hurt.

"Maa. Pls look at me. I want to say an important thing to you..." He again said to her.

" Nakul beta... Ask him what he has to say..."said suhani looking at Nakul.

Ritesh explained about his decision about divorce. The whole family except Ritika was shocked to the core.his siblings were very sad on his decision.

"Ma... If you become happy... Then I will give up my revenge....I will do anything for you..." Said Ritesh while having tears in his eyes. Suhani eyes also filled with tears.

" Parth... "Called suhani lovingly and hugged him.... Everyone become happy seeing the reunion of mother and son.

She broke the hug and said...." Paarth, I don't want to send her back...🥲 But it's her life... If she want divorce then you should agree to her..."said suhani... She didn't want to send her back... She loved her as her own daughter.

Ritika become surprised. She said ..." Maa... I don't want divorce..."

Everyone looked at her shockingly. Nakul, thanu and Abhi was very very happy. But Ritesh expected this. He fisted his hands in frustration.

"But why daughter...?" Asked suhani with concern.

" Maa... God had tied us in a wedlock. Marriage is a holy relationship between two people. We humans don't have right to break it according to their wish. I have full faith in God ..." She replied

"You are a gem daughter... My son is very lucky to have you..." Suhani said in tears and hugged her....
