Author's POV

Vihaan slam the file on the table and ran his fingers through his hair... The file contained Shreenika's application for transfer..

After the incidents which took a couple of days ago made his anger rise.. But after seeing her tactics it was not really helpful..

After some time

He came back home after having a few drinks to calm his mind down.. He saw Shreenika coming down the stairs and tried to ignore her...

"Aaj itna late kaise hua..?" She asked while keeping his belongings to their respective places.. "Kaam tha.." He replied avoiding eye contact with her..

He poured himself a glass of water kept inside the jug on the table.. After taking a sip or two, he got up and started walking towards their bedroom when she held his wrist..

"Ahaan.. Kuch hua hai kya..?" She tried.. He shook his head in negative and tried to loose her grip on his wrist...

She came in front of him and folded her hands on her chest.. "Did you drink..?" She said in a serious voice..

"He looked up and left a chuckle.. "Yes.. So what..?" He asked and sat on the couch while she came near him..

"Kitni baar kaha hai stop drinking.. It's not good for health.." she said and sighed..

"Kabhi kabhi bahut buri cheezein achi cheezon se behtar hoti hai.." he taunted..

"Aap kehna kya chahte ho..? Mera aapko drink karne se mana karna galat hai..?" She defended and he chuckled again..

"You know Shreenika galat kya hai.. Humara yeh rishta.. It does not make any sense to me now.." he said and stood up..

Shreenika.. In their 4 year of relationship he never called her that in their household..
It was always Sia or some other nicknames...

"Ahaan.. Tell me what the hell has happened to you.." Tears started forming in her eyes..

"What is wrong... This is wrong.. Nahi karni thi shaadi toh bol deti.. But no.. Tumhe toh sati Savitri banane ka Sauk tha.."

" Rishta meri taraf se aaya tha.. Mana kar sakti thi.. Jab nahi karti thi pyaar toh kyu ki mujhse shaadi.."

"Kyu aayi mere itne pass.. Aur jab aadat ho gyi hai toh chor kar chali jaao.." He shouted..

She stood there silently controlling her sobs.. She could not hide this from him anymore.. He got to know about it.. He knew everything..

"Abb toh acting band kardo... Thak gya hun main Shreenika.. I thought shaadi ke baad sab thik hoga, ya phir Ivaan ke baad.. But main tumhe kabhi samjh hi nahi paya..."

"You are free to go.. Jahan jana hai vahan jaao.. I will sign those papers..." He said and left her alone in the living room.. 

She fell down on her knees and started crying her heart out.. After some many years of pain when she finally got the freedom, all she felt was pain..

She was not made for love... But she knew that he is only hers.. But after what happened today, she realized that she broke him in the same way her past had broke her..

It was impossible to fix anything..

The Next Day

Shreenika and Vihaan were sitting inside their car and going to their office.. None of them started the conversation.. Vihaan behave coldly with her meanwhile she was silent waiting for him, when the song started playing

Pyar Jhutha Tha Jataya Hi Kyun
Pyar Jhutha Tha Jataya Hi Kyun
Aise Jaana Tha Toh Aaya Hi Kyun
Aise Jaana Tha Toh Aaya Hi Kyun

Aye Sitamgar Tu Zara
Aur Sitam Karde Aa
Aaja Bewajah Sa Yeh
Rishta Khatam Karde Aa

O Bedardeya Yaar Bedardeya
O Bedardeya Yaar Bedardeya
O Bedardeya Yaar Bedardeya
O Bedardeya Yaar Bedardeya O

Shreenika tried to change the radio channel but Vihaan held her hand.. "Bajne do.. It's better than your silence atleast.." he said.

She pulled her hands from him and threw her head back on the seat controlling her tears.. She closed her eyes and tried to avoid the lyrics which were piercing through her heart..

On the other hand, Vihaan held the steering wheel tightly making his knuckles white.. All he wanted to confront her, but he knew that it was no use..

She would never tell him the truth on her own.. And after what he did yesterday he was not very sure about it..

After few minutes the song started to come to an end.. They also have reached the office and he was parking the car when they heard...

Kaisa Banzar Seena Hoga
Ismein Jab Tu Hi Na Hoga
Tujh Bin Jee Toh Loonga Lekin
Jeena Kya Woh Jeena Hoga.

Vihaan looked at her making the guilt rush to her body..

After the song ended she quickly opened the car door and ran out of it.. He sighed and followed her inside the office.
