Destined by Love

"I know it was wrong for me to force you into this marriage. I'll file a request for annulment." I added half-heartedly, knowing that I'll die without her and she doesn't want to live with me
"You will really give me divorce?" She asked as her fork stopped midway forgotten.
"You were right we both need to move on. I cannot force you to live with me because of our past. I know I hurt you bad in the past and that I am still hurting you. You wanted to end this marriage, I'll free you from this forced union." I added.
"You are leaving again?" she asked, pain etched all over her face.
"Eventually."
"You don't have to leave."
"I can't stay here. I always end up hurting you. And I love you too much to see you in pain."
"When will you be leaving?" She asked.
"After the term ends. I promised Pranay uncle teach till the end of this term." I said walking away from the dining table.
She just hummed. After a pause she suddenly asked "Why did you leave me Neev? Not once, but twice." I turned and looked at her.
"Ari....I..." I stammered.
"Please. I need to know. I cannot kept doing this. You cannot waltz in and out of my life every time things get difficult. I need to know why you left me all those years back. I had lost mom already. You abandoned me when I needed you the most. I need closure. I cannot spend every moment to my life wondering why you left me." She pleaded.
"Because I killed her..." I cried further breaking down. "I killed your mother."
