Getting married again

Chapter 9

Aarti Pov

I don't know why I did what I did but I  just couldn't let them think I'm a widow so I shouted louder I'm not a widow and now everyone is looking at me mother and father is looking me with wide worried eyes and I look up at them crying showing how heartbreaking they had to lie about the bastard son's and say his dead just to marry me off .

I walk to the middle of the room and apologize I start crying while apologizing on the behalf of mother and father and told them the truth but before that I look towards the kids and ask if they could excuse us adults to talk alone not wanting Ansh to know the truth , but before I could continue Yash asks if you not a widow what are you? Cause I mean you living with your in laws are perhaps still secretly married cause then that's just pathetic to say yes to my parents proposal and I look towards him and fold my hands together and I tell him with tears in my eyes that I'm not a widow because I'm a divorcee and my husband left me for another women and I hear everybody's sharp breath intake and mothers crying and and looked up at yash's wide eyes I told him I understand if this marriage gets cancelled because who would want to marry a divorcee I'm a disgrace and I have no place in my heart for another man I was only marrying him for the kids and that's all I can't give him love but I can be his friend and that's it and looked up at him but he had a hard look in his eyes I just turned around and apologized to everyone ready to walk away I feel a grip on my arm and look up Yash holding me back from leaving and I look at him waiting for him to leave my arm and speak but what surprised me more was when he let go of my arm and held out his and asked me a question I never expected ever .

Yash Pov

I start looking at Aarti and I see she is crying and apologizing to everyone I start asking her a very stupid question cause when she came up to me with folded hands and told me that she is a divorcee and her husband left her for another women my heart squeezed and went out for her no women who is bearing your child deserves such treatment nobody whoever they are and I look at her telling me she is hoping m we can be friends buy she understands if I don't think want to go on with this Marriage she also said that she just wanted to marry for the kids she doesn't want to love again and I keep staring at her with a hard look while she's about to walk away I grab her arm before she leaves and I hold my hand out to her after she is staring and waiting for me to say something an I ask her Will you be my friend ? And mother of my child Aarti and she looks at me with wide eyes and shakes my hand nervously while nodding her head and crying I feel this warm sparkling feeling whole holding her hand and I let go quickly tonight my hand on my Kurta and think being her friend sounds good we both would just have a good life beige friends with no affection sounds good and I hear everybody starts clapping and saying congratulations and I look at my mother walking up to me and Aarti crying hugging us both while crying and saying the engagement preparations may begin and while the priest is saying the prayer we start the proceedings of the exchange of rings and I look up at Aarti who has a sad look on her face and I start thinking she really has a lot of pain my wife didn't choose to leave me it was her time to be by God but her husband had a choice and he left her pregnant that's the worst I will try to heal her that's all I really hope I could without her falling for me cause I know I will never love another women ever..
