|| .He Killed My Soul. ||

Hello Everyone...Here is the 1 chapter of my ff. Happy Reading Ahead....

**********************************************************************************

Rain drops trickled down the window pane as tears trickled down my cheeks. My inner turmoil wouldn't just let me stay in peace, even for a second. Sleep was far away from my eyes. Memories of past flashed in my mind every now and then. The fateful day - when my heart was ripped apart, when my whole existence felt shaken, when I discovered that my husband, whom I love more than myself, loves my best friend - still haunts me. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was enjoying to the fullest with my husband, his mom and his grandmother, leading a fairytale life, a life every girl would dream of having, a happy professional and personal life. And then came another long-lost fairy friend of mine, my best friend, Nandini, whom I helped get a divorce from a monster named Rajdeep, for whom I fought with my own mother, with Rajdeep and with the society. But I didn't know that she was a curse in disguise of a blessing. I regret all those prayers I made in front of God-to return me my best friend Nandini, my soul. Ironically, my soul-sister only ripped apart my heart, my soul-sister only broke my trust and faith, my soul-sister only slept with my husband, Kunal. Kunal! My husband! My jaana! My Life! I couldn't understand how he could fall out of love and break a 7-year old marriage in mere 70 days? I doubt if he ever loved me or not. I even asked him numerous times to tell me where did I go wrong but he had no answer. He claimed that the time we spent was true but even Nandini wasn't a mirage. I hoped all of it to be a nightmare, a bad dream that would simply break when I wake up, and I will find him lying beside me, with his everlasting smile, assuring me that he would be with me till the end, however, this wasn't a dream. It was the painful truth while what I hoped for, was a beautiful lie. I wanted to numb this pain somehow. I wanted to forget everything but it seemed impossible! It has been two months to the day we parted our ways, after he claimed that I wasn't pregnant and was just acting to trap him. That day all my emotions for him died. I wouldn't lie saying that I don't love him now. A part of me still yearns for him, but the other part, who is now a mother, despises him for putting such a disgusting blame on me. The day he doubted my pregnancy was the day when He Killed My Soul!! My mind despises my heart for still loving a cheater like him, but this stupid heart, it doesn't understand. My chain of thoughts was broken when I hear ma calling me. Today is the final court hearing of the divorce case. Unfortunately, now Kunal knows that I am carrying his baby. Pushing my thoughts aside, I went to ma who was seated in the hall with Dida.

**********************************************************************************

Mauli- Yes ma, what happened?

Radhika- Get ready beta. You have to go the court today. He called me and said that he is on the way and will reach in 5 minutes.

I nod and go to my room. I get dressed in a simple anarkali and pick all my important documents. I then go to Dida, who is in her room, resting.

 "Mauli puttar, I know you are very strong. Today is the last test of your strength. Face them with courage and show them that you don't need them to survive."

I smile at Dida's words. I know she is also hurt due to Kunal but has made herself strong for me and my baby. I nod and promise her that I wouldn't fall weak. She smile back at me.

"When is he coming?"

She asks and I tell her that he will be here in 5 minutes. She nods and then we both head to the hall.
