My Ex Husband...

Part 1

Ishita, a woman in late 20's was waiting outside the courtroom with lots of emotions running through her mind... Today was the last hearing of the case, Her divorce case... Today she will be free from all clutches and ties of marriage... The marriage ties, that was almost strangling her to death... She wanted an all time relief from that torturous life... She closed her eyes and recalled the day when she became official bride of the most successful ceo, the young ceo who can make many girls go week on thier knees just with the killer smile of his... It was a perfect arrange marriage... Were cupid struck them in the first very meet... How beautiful her life was... But today everything washed in vain... Marriages are always not the bed of roses, sometimes it even turns out to be prickly thorns... The thorn that pricked her heart and left her bleeding heart behind not even trying to heal it... May be the wound can never be healed... She had been through the abusive married life... Today she is happy that she will be free from all those physical and emotional abuse...

Her eyes became moist thinking of her tourtouruos past... Her trance was broken by the car that stopped in front of her almost trying to hit her... She was startled by the sudden happening and jerked back in fear... Her body started shivering even more seeing the person who was getting off the car... It was her husband err... Her estranged husband... A man in early 30's got off the car removing his shades off, with a killer smile on his face...

Man: kya hua mrs... Erm...miss? Mrs?.. Jo bhi ho... Kya hua... Dar gai kya... I hate myself for stopping the car... I so wanted to drive the car over you... I so wanted to see you dieing infront of my eyes... I so wanted to kill you... He said spitting fire... She just turned away from him and strarted walking out from there... He pulled her by her arms pressing his nails on her flesh making her wince in pain... She just gave a angry stare at his hands... He took off his hands immediately...

Man: oops... Sorry... Abhi tumhe choone ko log line mein kade honge na... Mere touch tumhe acha nahi lagega...

Ishita : mind your language Mr... You dont have any right to speak to me like that... You are bloody no one to me...

Man : not able to take her shouting at him... He held her cheeks tightly... You can't talk to me like that... Understood?.. He said pressing her cheeks making her wince in pain.. She pushed him with a force...

Ishita : how dare you?.. You can't man handle me you filthy man...
He now totally lost it he inched forward to hold her but their moment was broken by the voice...

Person : mr. And Mrs raman Kumar bhalla... Next is your case... Come.. He called them...

Both ishita and raman looked at each others eyes pouring thier hatred to each other and started walking towards the courtroom...

Raman was walking in front... She was following him from behind... Her knees were wobbly, she was not able to walk properly... All of sudden a unknown fear surrounded her... This was the last time she will be called as mrs.bhalla raman Kumar bhalla... After this hearing she will be ishita iyer again... She should be happy.. But why was she having heavy heart... She wanted all this to end as soon as possible.. But why is her heart bleeding...

As it was matrimonial case... It was held in a family courtroom... Both took thier seat right opposite to the judge... After the official greetings the proceedings started...

Judge : yes Mr and mrs.bhalla... I guess this is your last hearing... Have you both come to an decision... Are you sure you want to proceed with the divorce...
Ishita : ma'am... Before she could speak ..

Raman : ma'am issme poochne wali kya baat hai... I want this divorce at any cause... Please aaj hi sab kuch katam kar dijiye...

Ishita kept mute fiddling with her saree... He saw her hands that were shivering...

Raman (St):
why is ishita shivering so much... Aur why is she fiddling with her saree... She does that only when she is nervous.. Is she nervous?... I know ishita.. You will do this only when you're nervous.. And you will feel safe only wen I hug you to my heart hiding you within me... His hands automatically went towards her to hold her hands...

Judge : boliye mrs bhalla... And what about your daughter?.. Have you both decided about her custody...

Raman : ma'am I want my daughters custody... I can't let her grow up in the shadows of such a cheap women... I want to give a good upbringing to my daughter...

Ishita : ma'am please... Meri beti ki custody mujhe de dijiye... I... I'll die without her... For now she's the only hope that I am living... She said with a moist eyes...

Raman : yeh mega serial zara band karogi kya... Ma'am please iski chaal mein aap mat aayiye... Please meri beti ki custody toh har haal mein mujhe hi chahiye...

Judge : dekhiye Mr.bhalla... Aapki beti koi cheez nahi hai... That you wanted to get it on any grounds...

Raman : ma'am you are mistaken me... I love my daughter truely and I can give any amount of alimony to her... Afterall she is a bloody gold digger she will happily accept it... He said making a dirty face at her...

Tears started flowing in her eyes... She so wanted to slap him for that comment... But she looked down and wiped her tears...

Judge : dekhiye mr. Bhalla this is not a place to create nuisance, Maintain some decorum...

Raman : sorry your honour...

Ishita : ma'am mujhe inke koi paise nahi chahiye... I just want my daughter... Please ma'am she said folding her hands in front of the judge...

Judge : dekhiye mr. And Mrs bhalla... Aap dono ek combined decision pe aajayiye... Warna hame aapki beti ko court bulana hoga... Aur usse poochna hoga... With whom she is willing to be...

Ishita : no... No... Ruhi bohot choti hai... She is only 5 years old... Ma'am please... She is already going through a emotional stage... If you call her to the court usko bahot badi emotional trauma hongi...

Judge : dekhiye... I give you both another week to decide about your daughter's custody... Both come to a mutual conclusion that will be good for your daughter...It is just my concern for her as she is very little...

Raman : ma'am par aap aj hi sab kuch katam kar dijiye... Mera shaadi hone wala hai... I dont want this divorce case to drag anymore he said looking at ishita...

Ishita's heart was broken into pieces listening to that... She just composed herself and showed as she was not affected by his words...

Judge : dekhiye Mr.bhalla I can't grant divorce at this hearing... I will give the final verdict next week... Decide mutually regarding the custody of ruhi bhalla... Warna hame usse court bulana hoga... She said extending the time... The court is adjourned... Saying so she left behind ishra who were passing cold stare at each other...
