Khushi looked at chandhini's smiling face. Megha's words rang in her ears that chandhini didn't ever do anything without advay's permission. khushi leaned her head against sofa and watched as advay tried to catch chandhini's eye again and again but failed. Was this guilt? she looked at her son again. Did he bully chandhini? No, her heart answered. Her son never could do it but the situation they had faced, it was not normal. What was the real reason chandhini wanted divorce?
Arnav tapped her on shoulder,'' where are you lost?''
Khushi gave him a sheepish smile as she tried to hide her worries from him,'' Just tired due to work pressure.''
arnav knew she was hiding something but he didn't press her for any details. There relationship was based on mutual trust. she will share when she was ready.

Advay watched chandhini going toward her room and followed her to her room,"Tiny I want to talk to you."
Chandhini became weary," About what? I said what I wanted to say last night. Why are you behaving like this? Is this some new ego game of yours? Now that I have said that I don't want to be in this relationship. You want us to work it out."
Advay," Tiny please, why are you doing this?"
Chandhini closed her eyes as she said," why? You are asking me this question? You always told me to get divorce, you always told me that this relationship was forced on you and if this relationship was going to work, it was because of me. And I am tired of the burden of this responsibility. " Her voice became heavy due to un-shed tears,why didn't he ever listen to her?
Advay watched her perplexed," don't cry. I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I am sorry. I know I have done many stupid things. I..."
Chandhini sniffed as more tears fell on her cheeks,'' I know you don't give importance to anything I say but at least now at the end,try to listen what I am telling you. We are not compatible.''
Advay moved forward and pulled her in his arms," sorry tiny, really sorry. I am sorry for all the time I didn't listen but we are compatible. We lived together for four years."
Chandhini tried to push him away," No, don't touch me. Don't come near me.I tried to live with you, it was all my stupidity that I tried to make something work which was not meant to be."
Advay didn't let her go,"Our marriage was not supposed to happen, that it happened shows that it was written in stars for us. I am sorry tiny, in my ego I made you suffer. I am sorry. I am really sorry. you were willing to give me a chance before you fell ill, why not now?Tell me why are you this angry? I apologized already for what happened. Tell me how can I make it right."
Chandhini started to cry harder now,'' That makes it worse that you don't even think you did anything wrong. You treated me so badly and now you are asking me what you did wrong? Am I so cheap, so worthless?."
Advay hugged her closer," who said you are cheap or worthless? you are my strong beautiful loving wife who forgives my every stupid thing. I am sorry, I am really sorry about everything. Just give me one more chance. Please. I beg you, I really love you."
Chandhini just felt all her rage and anger boil out and she hit him as many times as she could and then she hugged him and cried. The biggest irony was that she felt better after hugging him.
Advay hugged her as his own tears rolled down his cheeks," Sorry. I am really sorry. Forgive me please."
She kept crying. He picked her up in his arms and carried her into her room. He sat down on bed still holding her.
