Chapter 22
*Abhay Pov*
"So that's it for one month anniversary?" She asked, smirking as we finished our dinner.
"Nope! Now call your Dad and tell him that you are going to stay at your cousin's house." I replied, waiting for our bill.
"Why?" she asked confused.
"Just do as I said dear wife." I replied.
After she called I asked her to call Deepthi. When she did I took the phone from her and said, "Deepthi! This is your Jiju."
"Hey Jiju! What a surprise?" She asked.
"Ok, I will tell you one thing and this is a secret between us. Usha is going to stay at your place now, and you need to remember it." I replied.
"If she is coming here, then why do I need to remember it?" She asked confused.
"Because she is not going to come there." I replied and hung up when she said 'Ok'.
"Let's go!" I said and dragged her outside after I paid our bill.
I drove us very slowly. I mean really slowly until I get the message, but when I did I rushed us towards our home.
"Wait! Are you not going to call your Mom?" She asked when I stopped.
"When I planned all this then why there is a need for me to call her now." I replied, and she nodded.
"Then what did you tell her?" She again asked when we both got outside the car.
"That I am going to spend at Shruthi's house." I replied and started walking her towards the door, but she immediately stopped in her tracks.
"And she didn't say anything?" she asked frowning.
"No! This is normal for me. I stay so many times at her house, and my parents are used to that." I replied confused thinking why she is asking.
"Ok!" she mumbled and I again dragged her towards the door and opened it.
"Where are the lights?" She asked, looking around the dark rooms.
"You will know soon." I replied and locked the door.
And then lifted her into my arms, making her shriek as usual. I walked her towards our room and opened the door slowly.
She gasped, looking inside the room and saw the rose petals everywhere and also the scented candles which are lighted.
"I know this is cliché but we are so amazing that we don't need to think like that." I said winking and closed the door.
When I plopped her on our bed, she is still looking around and asked, "When did you arrange all this?"
"Today before coming to the meeting and that's why I got late. And Shruthi just waited for me until I reach the meeting place." I replied kissing on her cheek.
"But what about the candles?" She asked, still smiling and let me kiss on her other cheek.
"Shruthi came here from the meeting place directly and lighted them when we were having our dinner. And before you ask how do I know it is finished or not she messaged me when it was over." I replied smiling when she looked at me shocked.
"Oh!" That's all she said.
"So are there any other questions to ask me? Because if there are, then I will stand in front of you folding my arms so that you can ask me as a teacher. I have an even better option shall I bring a pen and paper..." I couldn't finish my outburst as she crashed her lips on mine.
I smiled and started moving mine along with her. After a few minutes, I released her and said, "I missed you so much Usha! This one week was hell as I couldn't even see you."
"I missed you too, Abhay! I know it was difficult, but it was for our parent's right." She said, and I nodded at her smiling.
I stared at her for a few minutes, and she too stared back, but then asked, "Are you going to just stare at me the whole night?"
"Hmm... I don't think that's a bad idea." I replied teasing her.
"Ok then! I will sleep, and you can stare at me as much as you want." She said and lay down completely on the bed closing her eyes.
"Usha!" I called her, but she didn't budge.
After calling her a few times I lay down on her lightly and whispered "Mrs.Whatever! If you don't get up right now, then I am sure you will be okay with some good shower of cold water."
For the effect, I took her into my arms. She opened her eyes and said, "Don't you dare!"
"Try me!" I said, taking her in my arms and walked towards our washroom.
I placed her under the shower and started the shower. At first, she protested but then she pulled me too completely under it.
We both looked straight at each other and then moved completely close. She pulled my face near her and said, "I am lucky that I got you."
"I am also." I said and pressed my lips to hers.
*Usha Pov*
"Usha! Why are you crying?" Uncle asked me sitting in the chair in front of me.
It's been one week since we both celebrated our anniversary, and it was heaven for me. And then the next morning we calmly returned to our house and acted normally.
"Yeah Usha! What happened?" Dad asked.
"He... he wants to divorce me." I replied and burst out crying.
"What?" they both mumbled and I nodded.
"How do you know that?" Dad asked, still in shock.
"Some guy called me a few minutes back and said that he is Abhay's lawyer. And that I am going to get divorce papers soon." I replied.
"Did you call, Abhay?" Uncle asked me.
"Yeah! But it is coming unreachable." I replied and sneezed.
"Maybe that lawyer is lying." I mumbled after a few minutes.
"That must be it! Do you know his name?" Uncle asked, and I nodded.
"Then we will go and ask him directly." Dad said and we three walked out of the house.
While locking the door, I messaged him that we are leaving, and he messaged me back.
We reached the court and entered that lawyer's room. He is actually Deepu's friend, so we asked his help. Deepu knows everything as, she kind of demanded it after that day.
"How may I help you?" He asked.
And then it started my Dad's and Uncle's scolding, but only a little. From the side, I looked at him apologetically.
"I am sorry, sir, looks like there is some mistake or something." The lawyer finally said.
"But how could you..."Dad started to say, but I cut him off saying, "Dad, we got to know that it is not true. What else do we need?"
Saying that I dragged both outside the room. When we started walking we saw Mom and Aunty coming out of the room talking to Abhay.
"Dad! What are they doing here?" I asked him, and he looked at them in shock along with Uncle.
"Oh my god! Are they here to file divorce for you both?" I asked no one in particular.
As I am standing behind them, they turned towards me, and then I saw Abhay telling them to turn towards us. And finally Mom and Aunty looked at Dad and Uncle.
*Abhay Pov*
I am nervous to act now as we didn't write any dialogues how to start the drama. She said she will use water works and asked me to do anything I wish.
"Mom! Aunty!" I shouted, and they walked towards me worried.
"What happened, Abhay?" Mom asked sighing. I am sure she is already vexed with every single complaint I am making these days.
"Do you know what Usha did?" I asked them fuming and paced in front of them.
"What did she do?" Aunty asked.
"She filed for divorce." I replied, shouting in frustration looking up.
"What? But how do you know?" Aunty asked shocked.
"Just a girl called me and said that she is Usha's lawyer, and I am going to get divorce papers soon." I replied more freely as from now on dialogues are written.
"I will call Usha." Aunty said, walking to the phone.
"There is no use. Her mobile is switched off." I said, thinking of a new dialogue.
"We will go and talk to the lawyer and will explain to her not to continue this. You are saying she is a girl right, so I am sure she will understand us." Saying this Mom and Aunty walked outside taking their purses.
I followed them and then saw I got a message. I opened to see that she is also leaving so I replied that we are too.
When we reached there I saw Usha going inside the room. I grinned hiding from them and walked towards the lawyer room who is the wife of the person with whom Usha, Dad and Uncle must be conversing.
Mom and Aunty explained the lawyer our little solution and finally lawyer said like she understood and will not complete the procedure.
When we walked outside I saw that Usha is walking with them and then saw us. She needed to know them that we are standing and when they suddenly turned their back to look at her.
"Mom! Is that Dad?" I asked, and both turned to see them.
"Oh Shut! Are they here to file Divorce or what?" I asked no one, in particular, and at the same time both Dad and Uncle turned towards us.
We all walked towards each other. When we are standing in front of each other, I saw that except me and Usha remaining is fuming.
Wow, my Mom and Dad are fuming that is new. I thought and cleared my throat.
"Whom did you just met?" Uncle asked.
"The Jaipur's best divorce lawyer specially for ladies." I replied, and that is true actually.
"What about you?" Mom asked them.
"The Jaipur's best divorce lawyer specially for gents." Usha replied, and that is also actually the truth.
These lawyers are another weird couple. They both are in this profession, but never got into an argument, until now, and Deepthi said this while telling us about these two.
"So you finally did what you wanted for so many years." Dad stated and then Aunty stated kind of similar thing.
Usha gestured at me to the side, and I nodded and walked there along with her. We both stood there and saw them fighting with each other.
I turned towards Usha and asked, "What is this? My parents are also fighting like yours. Actually, they are fighting more than yours."
"Just wait and watch Abhay." She replied and then continued to look at them.
Even after a few minutes they continued to do that, so I calmly mumbled "Shruthi was right! She said this is a completely stupid plan."
"What? You told our plan to her?" She asked, looking at me shocked.
"Yeah! She is my best friend. I never hide anything from her." I replied confused.
"And she said that this is stupid so now you are saying that my plan is stupid." She said shaking her head.
"Come on, Usha! Don't you think she is right? Just look at them." I said, and we both turned to see those four shouts at a time "Why did you do that?"
We both again turned towards each other, and she looked at me with a hurtful look.
She took a deep breath and said, "Look, Abhay! I already said this was a risky one, and you too accepted that. Now you can't just throw this completely on me just because it is not working."
At the same time, we heard "Because I love you." from four different voices.
We turned to see my parents are hugging each other, and her parents are also doing the same thing.
We stood there shocked for a few minutes and walked towards them. They released each other and started saying some dialogues, which are shock to us.
"I missed your fighting's." The tag line was this for conversations between Uncle and Aunty.
"I missed your silent looks telling me so much." The tag line was this in the conversations between Mom and Dad.
"I think we can continue this at our home." I said clearing my throat.
They all nodded and walked towards the Uncle's car. We both got in Mom's car and followed them silently.
I didn't utter a word because I don't know how I should apologize to her. They stopped at our home surprising us.
We all went inside, and we both are seated in front of them. They all are just smiling at each other.
"We know there must be so many problems between you two." Dad said starting the conversation.
"But trust us everything will be fine in the end." Aunty said.
"Usha! We know we set a very bad example in front of you by fighting all the time and went beyond the limits. But don't let our stupidity cost your marriage life." Uncle said, smiling at her, and she nodded at them calmly without any expression.
"And Abhay we know we kind of gave you a wrong impression on arranged marriages, but trust us. They are the best thing. We know we love each other, but never thought it is important to say out loud. And then started having our own ideas of reasons regarding other thoughts or acts. But like Mr.Mehta said don't let our stupidity affect you guys." Mom said, and I nodded at her.
After some time in the evening, they all left and asked us to take our luggage from their houses later.
When they left Usha started going to our room, but I stopped her holding her hand.
"What is it, Abhay?" She asked turning around.
"I am very sorry! I know what I did out there is wrong, but please forgive me." I replied pleading her.
To my surprise, she nodded and hugged me, but it felt different. That night when we lay down on our bed, holding each other, I looked at her to see that she is lost in her own thoughts.
"Do you think I shouldn't have said anything to Shruthi?" I asked her and she immediately closed her eyes.
"It's ok! She is your best friend right." She replied with her eyes closed.
"She is right! My ideas are stupid, but what she doesn't know is how our parents think. She doesn't know how they act for which situation more than us. And you missed that point." She added and drifted off into sleep making me stun just looking at her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Er.. i know weird type of them getting together but that's what i am saying they are just weird.
But this is not similar in the real world. They fight and they meant those fights. As per the kids it effects more than any parents know. They get panic attacks for even small arguments by the passing time. And then they get commitment phobia mostly. This is not myth because this is reality and i know this more than surely....
So new problem which is nothing but old one already entered...
The story may finish in two or three chaps like that and as per me entering the story no way but it is me. I will be just in the background like my ID... :D
So don't worry about that :P
How is the chap??
Comment plz and vote...
