Mistaken hearts: Love amidst the misunderstandings

Back to square one!

Chaitanya's POV-
I was laying on my bed,still thinking of Diya,no matter how hard I try,I just can't get her off my mind.
Atleast have this much sense of checking out the facts and details before saying that I am guilty
Her words were ringing in my brain
"Is there any chance that she is right?",I thought to myself
"Her eyes voice her innocence, she just pulls me towards herself, no matter how I try,I cannot ignore her!"
"No way! One incident doesn't mean I could question my Mrunali..."
"She is and will always remain a cheater,nothing can change her nature.I have to let her know her position,where she stands! ",firm on my decision,I went to sleep.
-----------------------------------
I was having my breakfast when Diya came,
"I was wondering if I could join the office now,it's been a few days", she played with her fingers.
I nodded
"Thanks! BTW What should I make for dinner today?"
"Make whatever you want to , stop bothering me and keep your sweetness with you", I snapped
She lowered her head and went back inside the kitchen.
I felt bad for her, but I had to make her face the reality, that she is my namesake wife and she needs to face the results of her deeds.

-------------------------------------

Author's POV-
During the whole dinner, Diya avoided Chaitanya, excused herself and left the dinner in between.
She reached her room and closed the door, crying her eyes out, as she sat on the ground.
Chaitanya finished his dinner and was passing through her room, he heard her cries, which screamed that she was innocent, but he was blinded in love, which forbade him to see the truth.

"Why God?What wrong have I done? Everytime I stop myself from falling for him but unfortunately I do, everytime he is nice to me, my heart skips a beat, but the end is clear,he gets back to his usual self, the one that loves Mrunali", she got up from the floor and looked into the mirror
"You Diya Sharma, have to be strong, you can't always beg,pray and request everyone for everything. It's your life ,take its reins in your hand. No one, no one has got the right to stop you!", she declared.
Making this promise to herself, she went to bed.

--------------------------------------
"Hayye..itna waqt hogaya is khoobsurat chehre ka deedar kiye hue", Rekha came and hugged Diya.
(It's been so long since I have had a look of this pretty face)
"So dramatic!!",she replied, hugging her back


The whole day went by,looking at the watch ,Diya said, "Let's leave"
Rekha hummed and they both left the office.
"Let's go grab a bite",Diya said abruptly,shocking Rekha who stopped on her tracks
"What?"
"Dinner"
"I need to see a doctor"
"What?Why?"
"Mrs. Diya Raghuvanshi, outside the house, at freaking 7 p.m., not hurrying to get home ,fearlessly?"
"So what? Let's go!",Diya grinned

Both of them,with their tummies full of chinese food,sat back in the car,when Diya screamed,
"Ice cream?"
"Haiiinn?"
"Let's have ice cream"
"It's 10 ,you sure you don't have to go home?"
"No hurry to go there!"
"Come on then"
Diya felt happy, but deep inside, she was fearful of Chaitanya's reaction on her reaching late,but her joy covered up for the fear.

--------------------------------
A few days later,

"Bye!"
"Good night darling!", Rekha said in her usual dramatic tone
Diya chuckled and went inside, taking a deep breath, she opened the door, and took the stairs, without paying any attention to Chaitanya who was sitting on the couch.

She had stopped caring about him, she lived her life like she wanted to, on her own terms, 

She felt alive

"Care to have a look at the clock?", she heard his voice and stopped and went down halfway
She panicked but kept cool on her face as he neared her and dangerously asked," Where were you?"
"With my friend", she inhaled
"Enjoying your life huh? It's been days since you've shown your face at the dining table, always on your own, sometimes not getting out of your room. Do you even care that I live in this house too? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"
"Is there any problem with you then?"
Chaitanya took a step back, clearly startled at her response. She wasn't in her usual self
"How dare you?", he glared at her
She raised her eyebrows, trying to look confident."What did I dare to do, MR.RAGHUVANSHI?"
"You better not raise your voice Diya!" ,he roared
"Or your fragile ego will get hurt. Hmmm?", she refrained from shivering in front of him
"You! First committing grave mistakes, ruining others' lives and then living your life to the fullest, careles--",he was stopped by Diya,
"So what do you want me to do then Mr.Raghuvanshi? You don't want me to act like your wife, you don't want me to go out on my own, what do you want from me? HUH?", she pointed her finger to his chest, which angered him and he growled.
"I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ENJYING YOUR LIFE AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE,YOU DON'T F-CKING DESERVE THIS.I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MRUNALI IS AND WHEN I SEE YOU,MY BLOOD BOILS CAUSE YOU ARE THE REASON BEHIND THIS MESS!"
Hearing this Diya couldn't control her tears , still keeping a straight face, she said 
"I would never face any consequences of the crimes I have not committed, you better keep that in mind", she turned saying this and was about to leave, when he grabbed his hand. She bumped into his hard chest
"So confident.. Quite an actress you are, huh? That's why I don't see an ounce of guilt on your face. Such a bloody homewrecker." ,he spat
Diya struggled to get her wrist free from him, but his grip tightened.
"Leave my hand!"
"Or what?"
"YOU, MR. RAGHUVANSHI ARE GONNA REGRET THIS!"
"We'll see", he huffed, still grabbing her hand as she flinched in pain." You have done a wrong thing, raising your voice in front of me, baby", he whispered dangerously in her ears and left her with a jerk.
She fell on the floor and looked at this retreating figure, sobbing.
----------------------------------

"Ma'am but your resignation has been accepted"
"When did I even send one?",I asked, surprised."Can I talk to Mr.Rahul Singhania for once?"
"Uhm..okay ma'am, let me check his schedule", saying this, the receptionist went inside
"You can go", she smiled
Diya hurriedly went inside Rahul's office
"Good afternoon Rahul sir! I wanted to ask why have I been kicked out?"
"Kicked out?", he asked
"Just another way of saying that my resignation has been submitted and approved,all without me knowing", she whispered
"Please have a seat bhabi"
Diya sat down, her tears on the verge of falling.
"Bhabi, please don't get me wrong but Chaitanya forced me to make you leave the job by hook or by crook."
