Few days passed and the tension between vaidehi and vikramaditya almost faded. Shalini moved out of the house along with her daughter and husband. Indrani is left all alone in the house. She stopped going to the hospital and the discussions about who should become the next MD are evident among the folk. Most if the people are in support of Vaidehi as she is extremely balanced and attentive with great leadership qualities.
.............
The courtroom buzzed with a mix of tension and anticipation as Vasudha sat nervously in her seat, her eyes are darting to the door. She hadn't seen Rajeev in months, and the thought of facing him again filled her with dread. Vikramaditya sat beside her by offering silent support and his expression is a mix of concern and determination.
The heavy wooden door swung open, and Rajeev was led in by two police officers. He is handcuffed and is looking disheveled. The atmosphere shifted as he entered inside. Vasudha felt a chill run down her spine.
The judge entered and everyone rose.
Judge : Court is now in session !
he announced by taking his seat.
( Judge : Eeroju manam Vasudha alaagey Rajeev la vidaakula teerpu kosam ikkadiki vichhesaamu. )
Judge : We are here today to finalise the divorce proceedings between Vasudha and Rajeev.
As everyone settled, the judge looked down at the paperwork.
( Judge : Mee iddharu kuda Vidaakula ki siddham ga unnaru. Anthena ? )
Judge : You have both expressed your desire to end this marriage. Is that correct ?
Vasudha nodded but her throat is dry.
Vasudha : Yes, Your Honor.
Rajeev shifted in his seat by glancing at Vasudha.
( Rajeev : adhey manchidhi. )
Rajeev : It's for the best.
he replied and his voice is flat.
The judge continued,
( Judge : 6 nelalu kante ekkuva kaalam meeru vidi ga unnaru. Ee vidaakula nirnayam lo meeru inka emaina cheppali anukunthunnara ? )
Judge : You have been separated for over six months. Is there anything either of you would like to state regarding the terms of the divorce ?
Vasudha took a deep breath amd her heart is racing.
( Vasudha : Naaku jeevitham lo prashaantham ga mundhukunsaagali ani undhi. Naa relationship valla nenu chaala baadha paddaanu. Naaku athanu nundu svetcha tappa emi vaddhu. )
Vasudha : I just want to move on with my life. I've suffered a lot in this relationship. I don't want anything from him, just my freedom.
Rajeev scoffed lightly,
( Rajeev : Svetcha ? Nenu emaina ninnu adhupu lo pettukunnaana ! )
Rajeev : Freedom ? I never controlled you Ms.Vasudha !
Vikramaditya's jaw tightened at Rajeev's tone.
( Vikramaditya : ee panikirani sodhi ki idhi time kaadhu. )
Vikramaditya : This isn't the time for petty comments.
he muttered under his breath.
The judge cleared his throat.
( Judge : Mr.Rajeev , idhi legal proceeding. Ilaanti pravarthana ni memu oppukomu. )
Judge : Mr. Rajeev, this is a legal proceeding. Any outbursts will not be tolerated.
