Divorce - a start over [Sangini]

1. Parting ways

A man is entering the building while talking on the phone..

"Yes, yes... You come after 15 minutes till than I will talk to her, I have to tell her everything and then good bye"

Saying so he started pressing the button of lift but of no use. Being in hurry, he thought better to take stair case and lastly he is infront of his main door at 7th floor panting.

His eyes are depicting nervousness and his lips are quivering, he is pressing the bell continuously.

A beautiful woman opens the door.

A smile came across his face seeing her smile. He knew that today their life will change forever but still why her smile is so infectious and beautiful.

"Sanskar, why are you panting? Come inside and freshen up"

Nodding he entered the house and went to freshen up, he is trying to muster up his courage to tell his wife of 2 years the harsh truth.

He came to the living room where his wife is preparing for dinner.

"Ragini I have something important to tell you"

"Sanskar you are looking tired at first have your dinner then we will talk" she said smiling to him.

"Ragini its too important please be serious" he irritatibly shouted on her.

She became startled listening to his tone and made him sit on the sofa.

"Sanskar, what happened? Is there any problem regarding office?" Ragini asked putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Ragini, right now someone is more important in my life than anything"

Ragini casually sat on the sofa beside him and said "Yeah, I know"

"No, you don't that person is... "

"Manisha" completed Ragini.

Sanskar was shocked , it was totally unexpected for him. Ragini stood up and start serving dinner for him.

"I know everything since three months while your affair started last year, she is an accountant in your office and truly I was waiting for you to confess."

Sanskar was completely speechless, he is unable to comprehend the reaction he should give.

Ragini continued "Have dinner and then you can leave. I truly loved you and I love you a lot Sanskar, I love you unconditionally"

There is a serene smile on her face that finally everything is gonna end and his face depicting confusion because he expected her to shout or cry but not these.

"I read somewhere Meera loved Krishna without any condition, she never needed the body to love him and so am I, I love you and for that I don't need you to be in love with me, I'm yours always and forever but still our story ends here. I already packed your goods, so when are you leaving?"

Sanskar is looking at her with unbelievable eyes there is something he want to say but he don't know what and how? He want to stay somewhere in her life but it would be unfair because he is moving on. One last time he had a chance to have her handmade food, somewhere his heart don't want to let her go but he is obviously no more in love with her and she should be free to live her life to her own accord.

Sanskar replied "Manisha would be coming in sometime and then I will live with her, I had paid the rent of this appartment for next six months and till then arrange your stay for future."

Ragini smiling nodded "okay and yeah send the divorce papers I will sign it then you can enjoy your life with her. All the best"

Just then they heard the sound of horn.

Ragini said "its time for final goodbye, take care and yeah please don't eat street food like pizza burger, don't drink too much and...."

"Ragini, I know everything so you take care of yourself"

Ragini nodded controlling her tears.

Maana ke hum yaar nahin
(I agree that we're not friends)
Lo tay hai ke pyar nahin
(It's a fact that we're not in love)
Maana ke hum yaar nahin
(I agree that we're not friends)
Lo tay hai ke pyar nahin
(It's a fact that we're not in love)

Sanskar took his bag and opened the door and stopped at the door. He looked back and for last time looked at the house he spent his two years with his wife. All the memories are roaming in front of his eyes.

Phir bhi nazrein na tum milana
(But still you don't look into my eyes)
Dil ka aitbaar nahin
(As I can't trust the heart)
Maana ke hum yaar nahin
(I agree that we're not friends)

Ragini is controlling hard not to break but she hugged him one last time feeling his solace while Sanskar too hugged her back because she is not only his wife but his best friend too. He is going to lose her.

Raaste mein joh milo toh
(If you come across me in the streets)
Haath milane ruk jaana
(Then stop to shake hands with me)
Saath mein koi ho tumhare
(If someone else is there with you)
Door se hi tum muskana
(Then just smile from a distance)
Lekin muskaan ho aisi
(But your smile should be the one)
Ke jis mein iqraar nahi
(In which there's no declaration)

He rush out of the door and she locked it quickly because its really becoming hard for her to pretend. Then she went to the dining table, opened the bottle of champagne and took few sips to forget her heartache.

"It's so easy to pretend but its too hard to be a MEERA"

Lekin muskaan ho aisi
(But your smile should be the one)
Ke jis mein iqraar nahi
(In which there's no declaration)
Nazron se na karna tum bayaan
(Don't express it from your eyes)
Woh jisse inkaar nahin
(The fact that you can't deny)
Maana ke hum yaar nahin
(I agree that we're not friends)

Remembering something Ragini rushed towards window and saw that he is putting his bag in car while a woman is helping him. She held the curtain of window in a tight fist stopping herself again and again from breaking.

Sanskar looked up towards the window to have last look of her, she is afterall integral part of his life though he don't love her anymore.

As soon as he looked up she hide herself and slumped down on floor letting her pain take over her senses and cried hard.

Phool joh band hai panno mein
(The flowers that are inside the papers)
Tum usko dhool bana dena
(You go ahead and turn them into dust)
Baat chhide joh meri kahin
(If my name comes up somewhere)
Tum usko bhool bata dena
(Then call it as a mistake)
Lekin woh bhool ho aisi
(But that mistake should be the one)
Jisse bezaar nahin
(The doesn't annoy you)
Lekin woh bhool ho aisi
(But that mistake should be the one)
Jisse bezaar nahin
(The doesn't annoy you)
Tu joh soye toh meri tarah
(If you happen to sleep like me)
Ik pal ko bhi karaar nahi
(Then you won't find peace even for a moment)
Maana ki hum yaar nahin
(I agree that we're not friends)

Ragini heard the horn of the car indicating now that's its actually a good bye and now they finally parted ways so she had to prepare for the future.
