A black Mercedes car zoomed out of the raizada mansion. The car runs through the heavy traffic of Delhi and stopped before a big building named 'Mishra Laws and firms' A girl in early twenties stepped out of the car,

"Mohanji, wait here till i come" she ordered her driver.

"Ji..Bhahiji" he replied smiling at his favourite sweet owner.

She walked confidently inside the building, nearing the reception, "I have appointment with Mr. Mishra, senior advocate"

"Your name mam?" the receptionist asked.

"Khushi kumari gupta singh raizada" she answered and the receptionist told her to wait for five minutes after checking her appointment in computer.

As soon as five minutes passed she strode towards Mishra cabin and entered in after knocking the door.

"Hello Mr. Mishra" khushi greeted in a perfect professional manner.

"Hello Mrs. Raizada. Take your seat" the elderly lawyer greeted her back and gestured her to take her seat.

"I want to file my divorce" khushi said without beating around the bush.

"What? But..." the elderly man shuddered hearing her request. Quickly regained himself, "But Mrs. Raizada you are newly wedded. How come you want divorce this soon? As far as i know you and Mr. Raizada are happily married and leading a happy married life" he asked as he know from his sources and circle that ASR is happily married and head over heels in love with his wife. Being one of the top reputed lawyer and friend of Mr. Roy he knows how ASR is and he is quite shocked with this divorce case.

"For your information we are married for one year, it is enough to get divorce. Other than that, there is nothing for your concern. Would you take my case or shall i go to other firm?" Khushi asked sternly.

Mr. Mishra took his glass, placed it on his desk, "Look Mrs. Raizada you are like my daughter. I advise you to solve the fight between you and your husband. Life is so small beta. We don't realise one's value when they are with us then will regret big time when we lost the precious. The thing which you find false and wrong now will look so right in future. Don't take decision in haste and anger which only gives nothing but pain. My wish is, you both just sit and talk to know where your relationship lacks and what to do to avoid it. Communication always brings best out of your relation. Miscommunication is always a problem between couples these days. Many wants their partner to be understanding without voicing their thoughts like hero, heroines in novels and films but that is quite impossible in real life. We can't expect life to be a gold spoon. Life's beauty lies in unexpected twists and turns. So please keep your mind fresh before taking life turning decisions. I told you what i usually feel. Hereafter it's your decision beta" he waited sometime after finishing his speech so that the words would sink in her mind.

Khushi looks distracted by his speech but soon composes her herself, "I don't know you're taking counselling classes here in your office" she smiled sarcastically.

The elderly man sighs at the stubborn women in front of him who was perfect for ASR in looks, arrogance and stubbornness. "If you already took the decision then who was me to change your opinion, i'll take your case"

"Ok...That's good"

"Why do you want to separate from your husband? Is he abusing you?" he asked taking pen and notepad.

"He is having affair behind my back. He has child with her" khushi said with disgust.

"That means he had affair even before your marriage" asked shocking by the fact that Mr. Raizada has child with another women before marrying this young girl who is sitting in front of him before one year. He know this is normal in this world as ASR is well known businessman and top if it his company is fashion house which has models wrapped around his one finger. May be he had his cosy time with his model resulted in living creature of his blood.

"Yes, she's his Harvard friend, now they have six year old son" khushi answered him.

"So he is in affair even after marrying you and cheating on you" he asked noting the required points to win this case.

She sighed, "Yes or no, i mean now only he came to know that he has child with that women and i want divorce"

After observing all the facts, "Case is weak on our side Mrs. Raizada as you said he didn't know he has son when he married you, so technically he doesn't cheat you. If he chose to lead a life with his son and his son's mother then our case has high chance to win. If he doesn't want his son responsibility then also we can easily get divorce stating that he is unfair to his child, in future this will happen to you too. But if he choose to want only his son's custody and you as his son's mother then the case is totally depend on you. You can choose either a life with him accept his son or divorce him" he put forth the choices and chances of the case before her.

"In no way, i want a life with him. You can do whatever you want but i want divorce at any cost and not to forget alimony" khushi determined in her decision.

"Ok, as you wish. I'll send notice to Mr. Raizada tomorrow. You be prepared for hearing. And regarding fees, you shall consult my junior" he dismissed her.

Khushi sat in car thinking her conversation with lawyer. She told the driver to drive to laxminagar.

****

"Hey, khushi betiya...come..." her buaji welcomed her with her usual breathtaking hug.

"Khushi, how are you? How is damadji?" her mother greeted her.

Khushi faked a smile at them, what she can tell them when she came here after taking steps to break her marriage, thought bitterly.

"All are fine amma, buaji. I just come here to spend some time with you as it's been long, so i thought to stay here tonight"

"ok bitiya, What about arnav bituwa? He always tag around you if you came here?" her mother asked the question which she thought to avoid it for now.

"He is busy with his work amma. Stop asking about him, i am here to meet you but you're asking him only" she pouted at least she acted.

She is chatting with them happily when her mobile rings and shows 'Arnav' she cut the call immediately. Again her mobile beeps before she cut it her mother nudged her to take the call which she can't deny.

"Hello..." she answered.

"Where are you khushi? Where do you went? Now time is 7 p.m. Tell me where you are, i'll pick you" came a bunch of questions from other side.

"I am in laxminagar. I am gonna stay here tonight" she answered slowly.

"What the??? Why didn't you inform me beforehand? Wait let me also join you, it's been long time i stayed there"

"Not needed" she replied sternly indicating sternly that his presence is not needed.

"But khushi...Are you angry on me for shouting at you for DNA test? I already told you na i am not like that. Why aren't you trusting me?" she heard his hoarse voice.

"I am sleepy. Good night" she cut the call to avoid the conversation and she is not in mood to fight with him now as from tomorrow onwards there is lot of issues queued for her to fight.

****

"What the???" arnav muttered seeing the disconnected call. Why can't you trust me khushi? he mumbled himself thinking her behaviour from karwachaut. He cannot forget that day not because it is first karwachaut after marriage, this is the day that brought changes in their relationship starting from khushi done DNA test behind his back and the result turned out to be positive which he don't know how? And top of it she is not ready to trust him.

He behaved angrily with her for two days and after that khushi's behaviour changed much to his dismay. Nowadays he's seeing new khushi who is unknown to him. Whenever she opens her mouth before him the words rolled out of her tongue was always sarcastic.

He cannot understand how to handle this different khushi who is not ready to hear his words. He cannot read her mind like before, her eyes which always shows her inner soul is reflecting nothing. It's been one week that incident took place leaving a crack in their relationship; it's his fault to agree with her every demands like he did when she asked sheetal to stay in their house.

He decided to confront sheetal tomorrow as khushi told sheetal confirmed that aarav is his son. In his anger on khushi and later lost in khushi's new found behaviour he totally forget this part. Their life is a mess now but not anymore he thought not knowing the biggest shock of his life is waiting for him tomorrow which will shook the soul of ASR and arnav. He is so lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice a pair of eyes which is on him is reflected with uttermost happiness.
