मेरे ख़ामोश होठों पर
मोहब्बत गुनगुनाती है,
तू मेरी है मै तेरा हूं,
बस यही आवाज़ आती है

AUTHOR'S POV

"I want divorce." Khushi whispered

"Dubara koshish karo"(Try again) Aviraj said looking at Khushi.

"Dubara koshish karo?"(Try again?) Khushi turned towards Aviraj and asked confusedly

"Hnn, kyuki divorce to nhi milega. Too dubara koshish karo kya pata kuch aur mango to de saku aapko." (Hn, because you will not get divorced. Try again, who knows, if you ask for something else, I may be able to give it to you.) Aviraj said, shrugging his shoulders. Both of them were standing facing each other and were looking into each other's eyes. They did not want to take their eyes off even for a moment because who knows, the person in front of them might disappear from their sight.

"Jo manga hai vo to diya nhi jaraha aur kya denge. Aap na sirf badi badi baate karna jante hai. Aur kuch nhi, aapka maan karta hai to aap letter likhna shuru kar dete hai, aapka maan karta hai to aap likhna band kar dete hai, aapka maan hota hai to mujhe apne pass bula lete hai aur jab aapka maan hota hai to apne aapse dur kar dete hai. jab aapka maan hota hai to shaadi karne ke liye aajate hai kyu huh? Mere feelings nhi hai, mujhe hurt nhi hota, mera dil nhi dukhta kya?" Khushi said and started pushing Aviraj and with every push Aviraj was muttering sorry because he knew that knowingly or unknowingly he had hurt only the woman who healed his wound with her words.

(What was asked for has not been given, what else will you give? You only know how to talk big. Nothing else, when you feel like writing, you start writing a letter to me. when you not feel like writing, you stop writing. when you feel you want me near, you call me near you and when you not feel like calling me, you don't. You only come when you feel like getting married to me? I have no emotions, I don't feel sad, and doesn't my heartache?)

"Ek baar pucha to hota, kya pata ha kar dete mai to yeh sab nhi hota na. jo kuch bhe hua vo nhi hota na. I hate you for that, I hate you for creating a mess in my life, I hate you for making me feel like an option when I was always a choice, I hate you for making me this week that now life without you feel meaningless to me, I hate you, I.. Hate... You..." With every push, Khushi's strength gets exhausted and so does her push. At last, she puts her head on Aviraj's chest and starts crying and holds his collar, meanwhile, he starts taking her hair.

(If you had asked once, who knows if I had said yes, all this would not have happened. Whatever happened doesn't happen. I hate you for this, I hate you for making a mess of my life, I hate you made me feel like an option when I was always a choice, I hate you for making me so this week that now life without you seems meaningless to me, I hate you, I... hate... you...)

After crying for a while, Khushi looked at Aviraj, who was looking at her and cursing himself for making her cry as her eyes were glossy. Khushi's eyes, nose, and cheeks were red due to crying and the rain was not helping it. Aviraj bent down and kissed both her eyes and Khushi closed her eyes, then her cheeks, the corner of her lips, and Khushi took a deep breath

"I hate you," she said more like she was remembering herself

"I know," Aviraj said while painfully slowly moving his lips to her jaw. He again looks at her and says

"Khushi, I know I hurt you but my intention..." She was looking at his lips and tight her hold on his collar while pulling him down at her level and said
