Mistaken hearts: Love amidst the misunderstandings

Truth revealed!

Diya's POV-
"First of all,I would like to congratulate Mr. Raghuvanshi and my sister Mrunali on this precious day..I am so happy today that I have even prepared something special for my dear sister.. It'll not waste much of your time..I hope you like it!!"

"Mrunali dare you say a word about this..It has to remain between us",Mrs. Sharma said.
"But maa,he is going to reach the truth sometime..even after I marry him,he's gonna know the kid isn't his"
"Once you both are married,you would get a right on his property as well..divorce him later on if you want to..We'll get riches in alimony itself,no need to worry"
"But--"
"I told you na..I've set up this situation in such a way that no one will get to know that you ran away for that Vaibhav..The past is past Mrunali,think of your profit,Vaibhav has left you..this is the only chance of making money and living your life to the fullest.."

Though the video was blurry but the voices were clear enough to make anyone realise the truth.

Everyone was stunned, Chaitanya's eyes were red in anger, I could sense that he was furious but controlling himself clenching his fists.

I looked at Mrunali,her face was pale,her mother was again ready for some nonsense explanation,opening her mouth but I interrupted,
"No need to explain anything Mrs. Sharma..I would like to hear what Mrunali has to say."

Mrunali said nothing,her eyes were filled with tears but blank at the same time, maybe guilty.I raised my eyebrows,certainly demanding a good reason for why she did that. She fell to the ground and held my feet.
"I'm sorry Diya..I shouldn't have done that to you.I ruined your and life--and --and Chaitanya's too! I know I cannot justify my actions but I had to do it for my kid,he would have lost his identity...his father left him and me,I had no choice but to leave from there..And te--tell me how would I have lived with the shame of cheating on THE CHAITANYA RAGHUVANSHI and after our encounter in London,I knew he would not let me live peacefully if I came back to India..I-I just followed maa's instructions..I'm sorry!"


Her mother,still in her ego,held her branded purse in her hands and gracefully walked towards me,picking Mrunali up and with not a tinge of shame in her eyes,spoke up,
"You don't have to beg in front of anyone beta.. How can we believe it's true? Nowadays,there are many fake videos made online.How do I trust you?"

I made a what-the-fu-k is wrong with you face,but suddenly she was pulled aside by papa and he slapped her,I covered my mouth,registering what just happened.

"Don't trust anyone...trust me.I am a witness to all of this,I'm the one who made the video.You gotta trust me,isn't it Ruchi Malhotra?"

She was still in a shock,looking at him and she turned around,"You bi-ch!! What black magic have you done on my whole family..You are such a---"

"Not a word against my wife Mrs. Sharma! Please arrest her!",Chaitanya had called the police already.
"What? Police? Why?",she shrieked.
"You are facing defamation charges against the Raghuvanshi family Mrs. Sharma",Chaitanya's father spoke up.



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

"Thank you so much for not letting me face the jail Diya", Mrunali hugged me and sobbed." And I'm sorry for whatever happened because of me Chaitanya"
"You've been given mercy because of your kid Mrunali..",he huffed.


I thought that maybe I should leave too."Now I'll get going maa",I smiled at her and turned around but someone grabbed my hand and I hit his chest..It was Chaitanya..
"Who told you that you can go? I don't remember dismissing you",he spoke in his husky voice.
"This isn't your office Mr.Raghuvanshi!",I sounded quite confident though.
"But you are my wife!",he smiled.
"No I am not..We have been divorced,remember?"
His eyes showed pain and hurt,as he continued,"But marrying again is possible,isn't it?"
My eyes widened as he got down on his knees,as he held out a ring."Will you marry me Ms. Diya Sharma?"
"Whatt?"
"Bhabi you say yes, not what!!",Ajeet intervened

"Huh!?"
Everyone's eyes were on me,the guests,the family ,who hooted and waited for me to say yes,but my eyes were interlocked with his.He was waiting for my answer.

I closed my eyes,waiting for an answer to come from within,I asked myself.

Do I wanna be his forever?
Yes

"Yes",I exclaimed.
"YES!SHE SAID YESS!!",The whole family squealed in joy as he put the ring on my finger,his eyes teary..
"Are you crying Mr. Raghuvanshi..that's unusual!",I chuckled
"I just got the love of my life"
I smiled through the tears, looking away from him, his family celebrated and papa blessed me caressing my head.

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

As I walked down the aisle,I looked at papa who left my hand,my heart raced with a whirlwind of emotions,my eyes interlocked with Chaitanya  who looked at me with tenderness, his eyes met mine.At that moment,it was just us,two souls bound by love and promise of being together forever.

It felt surreal,as I sat beside Chaitanya in the mandap.My lips trembled with emotions .I was getting married to the same man,but the emotions and the purity of this sacred bond was new for me.

Chaitanya's POV-

Diya was looking ethereal in that bridal lehnga,as her father left her hand,I could sense her emotional turmoil. Looking at me,she smiled as I felt a sense of relief wash over me,assuring me that we had made the right choice.
I had no words to describe how delightful and nervous I was,after what life had been for us,this moment was meant to be special,I had Diya with me.


Author's POV-
Both Diya and Chaitanya got up for the pheras as Radhika tied the knot as the saptapadi (seven pheras) started.Chaitanya held Diya's hand,as she looked at him,admiringly. The couple read the vows. With each step, they pledged to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to each other and their families, guided by the principles of love, trust, and mutual respect.

Chaitanya filled Diya's hair parting with vermilion and tied the mangalsutra in her neck as Diya looked into his eyes,passing a warm smile to him.

 With this act, their union was solemnized, and they were pronounced husband and wife.As the newlyweds took the blessings of their elders, the air was filled with joyous celebrations, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives

Everyone showered flowers on them,expressing the happiness that they felt.Aadya along with Ajeet and Aditya hooted,to which the family chuckled.But Diya and Chaitanya were engrossed looking at each other,with a smile of their faces as they were now together,forever.
