Abhi's pov:

"Get me the pen," I said slowly, with intensity. She froze for a second but quickly snapped out of it and handed me the pen.

I took it, my eyes never leaving her. She was staring at the pen in my hand. I moved the pen and placed it on the paper to sign, my grip firm and tight.

Just as I was about to sign, I stopped. "Do you know, Shivani, we both need to sign even for a divorce." My voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

"Beacuse decisions in a marriage are made by both partners," I continued, but she remained silent, her eyes fixed on the pen. "But you wouldn't understand that, would you? You're used to making decisions on your own, even when they require both our consent." I chuckled bitterly referring to her sudden demand of divorce.

"This was your decision, so why don't you sign it first?" I said, extending the pen toward her. The silence in the room made my voice sound even more dangerous.

She looked at me, then at the pen I was holding out. Slowly, she took it from me, and I turned the paper toward her since she was standing opposite me.

She placed the pen on the paper, and my eyes locked onto her every move. Her hand trembled as she held the pen, but she tried to steady it.

"Sign it, Shivani. You've been holding it for five minutes now," I said coldly. She pressed the pen to the paper, her entire body starting to shake.

She's shaking, yet she dares to sign it!

"What's the matter, Shivani? Come on, sign the papers. I dare you," I said, challenging her from where I stood.

She gripped the pen again, ready to sign, and I clenched my jaw. My eyes were fixed on the paper, waiting for her to make her move. Her fingers turned white from gripping the pen so tightly.

"Go for it, Shivani. Even I have to sign," I said angrily. Her entire body trembled as she tried to sign. Soon a sob escaped her lips, and a tear dropped onto the paper.

That's it! I snatched the paper away.

"Just stop it, Shivani. Please, stop this! You and I, we both don't want to do this," I said, almost begging.

"No, you are mistaken, Mr. Dikshit. I want this, and that's why I brought these papers," she replied, pointing at the divorce papers. I was surprised at how steady her voice was despite the trembling in her body.

In the next moment, my jaw clenched in anger. "Your entire body is shaking, yet you dare to sign the paper, Shivani," I shouted, my voice as loud as thunder.

"YES, I HAVE TO SIGN IT!" she yelled back, equally angry, tears streaming down her cheeks. "And don't misunderstand, Mr. Dikshit. My shaking has nothing to do with signing this," she said, her eyes red with tears.
