A LOVE UNBOUND

Chapter 13: Siya's divorce

AUTHOR POV:

As Rajveer and Siya arrived at Rajveer's mansion, Siya's eyes widened in awe. The mansion before her was breathtaking-words seemed inadequate to describe its grandeur and beauty. As they stepped inside, little Raha spotted them and ran over, her eyes shining with excitement.

"So, can I call you Mommy now?" Raha asked eagerly.

Siya bent down, smiling. "Yes, sweetheart. I would love to be your mommy."

Raha squealed in excitement and hugged Siya tightly. Around them, the house staff watched in shock. It was the first time they'd seen their boss bring a woman into the mansion, let alone one Raha was openly speaking to-something she had never done with the staff before, despite their attempts.

Rajveer then gently placed a hand on Siya's shoulder. "Come, I'll show you your room," he said, guiding her upstairs. He took her to a guest room close to his home office. His own suite was on the third floor-a floor where he valued his privacy and didn't allow anyone without his presence. He wanted Siya to feel comfortable and safe, without any pressure. For now, earning her trust was his priority.

"Freshen up, and I'll see you at dinner," Rajveer said warmly. Raha tugged at Siya's hand and chimed in, "Daddy and I got you some clothes too!"

Siya, surprised, looked at Rajveer, but he gently explained. "Raha insisted. She thought you'd need them, and... she even picked out some makeup items for you. Please, just accept them."

Siya smiled, touched by Raha's gesture. "She's so sweet. She's already gotten so attached to me. I feel the same, like there's a special bond between us. And since I don't have my belongings with me right now, I'll happily accept her gift."

As Rajveer left, Siya looked around her room, admiring the decor and luxurious details. She opened the walk-in closet, only to be shocked by the sight of clothes neatly arranged-more than she ever expected. There were outfits for all occasions: casual wear, party dresses, nightwear, shoes, and accessories. It was overwhelming. "I can't accept all of this," she thought, deciding to talk to Rajveer about returning some of the items. But she didn't want to make Raha feel sad, so she planned to wait until later to discuss it.

Siya freshened up, changed into some comfortable nightwear, and headed downstairs. A maid guided her to the dining room, where she saw the elegant dining setup and the lavish kitchen beyond it. Raha spotted her and called out, "Mommy, come sit here!" She ran over and pulled Siya to a chair next to her.

"Mommy, can I sit on your lap?" Raha asked eagerly, but Rajveer intervened with a gentle smile. "Raha, remember, your mommy is still recovering. Once she's fully better, you can sit on her lap as much as you want."

Raha nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, Mommy, I'll wait for you to feel better," she said with a sweet smile, settling next to Siya.

As dinner was served, Siya noticed the way Rajveer was looking at her-a gentle, adoring gaze that hinted at his own hopes for the future. It made her heart skip a beat.

"Raha, would you like me to feed you?" Siya asked, noticing Raha's excitement. Raha's eyes sparkled as she happily accepted, nodding with enthusiasm. Her laughter and joy filled the room, and the staff watched warmly, happy for the little girl. Rajveer couldn't help but smile as he thought, *One day, I hope Siya and I will feed each other like this.*

Later that night, as they prepared to sleep, Raha insisted on sharing Siya's bed. Siya cuddled with Raha, and Rajveer stood at the doorway, watching them with a promise to himself. *I will give you all the happiness in this world,* he thought, feeling his heart swell with hope.

The next morning, Siya woke early, kissed the sleeping Raha's forehead, and went to shower. She dressed and quietly made her way to the kitchen, where she found Rajveer cooking. She watched him for a moment, captivated by how handsome he looked in a formal shirt with his sleeves rolled up.

"Need any help?" she offered, smiling.

Rajveer turned, a playful smile on his face. "Yes, can you pass me the flour?" She did, and they worked together, with Siya asking what he was making.

"Parathas. Raha loves aloo parathas with curd. Hope you're okay with that?"

Siya nodded, amused. "I love them too."

As Rajveer kneaded the dough, Siya suggested helping him with the parathas, but he had another idea. "Actually, you can help by making custard. Raha has a sweet tooth and loves fruit custard with apple and banana. Do you mind?"

Siya smiled, touched by how well he knew Raha's favorites. "I'd love to." She began preparing the custard, and for a moment, they both looked like a picture-perfect family, cooking side by side.

Suddenly, they heard a cry from upstairs. Both of them rushed up to find Raha looking around anxiously. When she saw Siya, she burst into tears and ran over, clinging to her.

"I thought you left me, Mommy," she whispered, her voice trembling.

Siya knelt down and held her close. "Mommy's not going anywhere, sweetheart. I'm here for you, always. And I even made your favorite custard!"

Raha sniffled, brightening up. "Really? I want to eat it now!"

"Go wash up, and then come for breakfast. Your daddy made parathas just for you," Siya said with a warm smile. Raha obeyed, hurrying off to freshen up.

Rajveer then turned to Siya. "By the way, the money has been transferred, and the divorce papers are ready. After we drop Raha at school, you can meet the lawyer and finalize everything. I've arranged for it to happen quickly."

Siya nodded, appreciating his support. "You don't have to miss work for me, though. Just give me the lawyer's number."

Rajveer looked at her firmly. "No, take my bodyguard with you. He's here for your safety, and I'm not taking no for an answer."

Siya hesitated, then remembered the closet and brought it up. "Rajveer, I really can't accept so many clothes. It's too much."

He smiled and gently insisted. "If you say no, Raha will be heartbroken. Please, just accept it."

With a sigh, Siya relented, and they enjoyed a warm breakfast together. She loved the parathas Rajveer had made, and he and Raha enjoyed the custard she'd prepared.

After breakfast, they dropped Raha at school, where Rajveer introduced Siya to Raha's teacher as her mother, making the arrangement official. Siya's heart felt full.

Later, Siya met with the lawyer, a well-known specialist in divorce cases. They discussed everything, and soon Aryan arrived, looking annoyed and confused at how quickly Siya had arranged everything. He barely looked at Siya, but her lawyer handled all the formalities. Aryan's only demand was that Siya collect her belongings today in front of both lawyers to avoid any future accusations.

When the judge finally stamped the papers, Siya felt an overwhelming sense of freedom. She was ready for a new beginning.

They proceeded to Aryan's house to retrieve her things. Jennifer, Aryan's girlfriend, was there and watched Siya closely. Siya ignored her and went to her room, gathering only the essentials. As she prepared to leave, Jennifer accused her of stealing a necklace. But when they checked Siya's bag, it contained only her documents, a photo album, and a few pieces of jewelry from her grandmother.

Finally, Siya left, feeling lighter than ever. It was time to pick up Raha from school, and as she headed there, she was filled with hope and excitement for the future awaiting her.
