The Perfect Match

The Divorce Deal

"You are still mine," he declared and with that he dangerously stood close to me...his body not even an inch apart from mine.

"These papers can't decide wether I am yours or not," I rebuked and tried moving away.

"You don't need to tell me what can decide you are mine or you aren't mine," he commented and it sounded bitter.

Ofcourse he knows that apart from these papers, there is absolutely nothing left between us. It all ended that night.

There was a kind of uncomfortable silence between us and I just felt why the hell did he have to do all this. Why is he poking me and that too when I am trying to GET OVER HIM.

"Do you still like roses?" He asked catching me off guard.

Wait...what?? Is he crazy?

I started thinking if I should say what I feel or not. What if he infers it differently. I have to think carefully and then speak. I chose to answer but negatively.

"No," I said and I noticed his features getting tensed. I know him very well I tell you. I understand it from his body language and actions. He wasn't quite happy after hearing my 'no'.

"Why?" He asked. This man needs all the answers but he will never answer you the right way!

"Because it was for of you I started loving them and now I hate everything that is associated to YOU," I answered back by looking straight into his eyes.

His eyes turned cold after hearing my reply.
Fuck! Why did I make an eye contact?

He didn't say anything. Shit. I really wanted to know what he was thinking. I just didn't want to remain unanswered.

"Pack your bags," he commanded. So authoritative! I won't.

"Why?" I asked, my expressions showing perfectly that I didn't care what he said.

"Because I want to throw you out of my hotel," he sarcastically replied.

"Very funny," I kept my fingers crossed hoping he wasn't meaning a single word he was saying.

"You are coming with me," he ordered.

How dare he? Nerves of this man...

"Why the hell do you think I will come with YOU?" I enquired, my eyes popping out of my sockets in anger.

"I don't owe you an explanation," he said and turned his face away, his teeth clenched.

"You do owe me an explanation Mr Arjun Malhotra," I said while taking his hand and turning him towards me.

That touch...damn! It felt electrical. I didn't expect this.

He returned a cold gaze and said, "What explanation do you want?"

"As if you don't know. I am not coming with you Arjun if you don't give me a proper explanation," I said and kept my hands on my hips.

"This isn't going as I expected," he muttered but that was audible enough for my ears to catch them.

"Fine, I want you to stay with me till I get married. I will divorce you in the mean time and Disha will also get a satisfaction that I am no more into you," he just freaking said that! I mean that's unbelievable.

Why??

"Arjun, can I ask you something?" I asked knowing he would let me continue. He nodded.

"Why didn't you sign the divorce papers six years back? What took  you so long to decide whether you should sign the papers or not? And why do you want me to come with you? I mean I am certainly not coming for Disha, you get that? You can sign those divorce papers now itself and then game over and as far as Disha is concerned, I am going to attend all your wedding functions and make sure that Disha knows that even I AM NOT INTO YOU anymore," I stressed on the last sentence and that made his facial expressions turn tensed. Not like what I had expected.

"Amaya...," he just helplessly took my name. My idea worked but no.

"Amaya I couldn't sign the divorce papers because the night you signed them, you left. The court needs a fucking proof that the divorce was done with mutual consent and you were gone...I don't know where. Not even your parents had a single clue that you were alive or dead so now that I found you and you are back...we need to prove," he said.

"Don't you think it takes six months to consider a divorce?" I asked.

"Ten days...that's it. The day before my wedding, we will have a court session and the divorce will be granted. Till then, we have to stay together," he explained everything and shockingly I bought all that he said. Yes, I did and I was convinced that this was the only way I could get rid of him.

I mean this is why I couldn't get over him. All these years, we were still married. I so wish we had a little bit of love left between us. It hurts when I think about those nights when all I prayed for was him and only him.

He was just everything I wanted. He changed me, completely. I couldn't believe that he took everything onto his head and tried making me happy in every way possible.

It makes me feel nostalgic on how when I used to fall ill, his heart wouldn't stop thumping like a sagging drum pad for even a second. He wouldn't leave my side. He loved me to such an extent then why did he not trust me? Why did he just digest my story about infertility?
Why did he not believe that I didn't have an affair?

I don't know. And even now I don't believe that it was Arjun who destroyed us. I still don't believe that Arjun has turned heartless...I still don't believe that he is marrying the same woman who left no stone unturned to break him!

"Okay," that was all I gave for a reply and I packed my bags and without even informing Meera, I left. I knew, informing Meera would mean giving a special invitation to more troubles and I didn't want that to happen. She will inform Kabir and Kabir will inform Aahil and then they will all go crazy.

Ten days and everything will be over. For the mean time, I need to create a story that Meera and my friends would buy without even questioning me because I cannot afford their disapproval.

I asked my PA to follow Arjun's car and ofcourse, Arjun had a problem with this so I asked them to stay outside Arjun's mansion and I would call them whenever I need them. They agreed and did as I directed.

The car journey was dead silent. Arjun was driving and I was on the passenger seat of his black Audi and all I could do was scroll my news feed. My instagram account was filled with Aahana and Aryan's LA summerschool trip that Zara had uploaded.

I commented on as many as I could and then the moment I was about to turn my phone off, Arjun asked, "Who were they?"

"Who?" I enquired. Who was he talking about.

"Those two little kids. Twins I mean...twins right?" He asked.

"Oh! Yeah," Shit, what should I say?

"You were commenting on those photos so I just asked," he clarified.

"They are um...my friend's children," I answered dishonestly.

"Hmm...but that boy looked so much like I used to look when I was five or six," he remembered while he concentrated on the road.

Damn!
