Author's Pov

Today is the day , and both Sid and Ruhi are boarding their flight to Maldives. Ruhi decided to keep numb after that incident,she thought it was better this way...

She couldn't handle his hatred as she thought she could. Within this time, Ruhi knew that his hatred for her was not because of the marriage. Maybe it did add fuel to the fire, but it wasn't the main cause. She was still not aware of the main cause.

Right now, she had a lot of things to sort out, and this was her least priority, or she thought to keep it that way.

Sid, unlike he thought actually, was irritated by the way Ruhi treated him. Almost like an invisible person, he was hell confused about why he felt that way... he then decided that it could be because he couldn't extract his revenge from her.

Two of them who got connected and then disconnected with time set upon to start the journey to their destination together. Only destiny knew where it would land them.

Uff... this is soo tiring I am soo sleepy, the flight will take off by 3:30 Am, So we had to reach the airport by 1:00 and I got to sleep just for two hours...

* Yawn* I wish I could get some coffee now with that thought I moved towards the cafe all the way controlling my urge to inquire the person siting before me whether he would like to have any refreshments.

As I neared the cafe, a strong smell of hot chocolate hit me...

And I did the exact same thing which I came here for, well I brought a cup of hot chocolate instead of coffee... Don't give me those stares... Nothing can stop me from chocolate, not even my own sleepy state.

I went back to my place to find my husband giving me those stinky eyes. Just because he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to show those eyes. I acted as if I was least bothered. He went from there and brought himself a cup of coffee.

Soon, we were called and boarded the flight.

As the time of take off came, I clenched my seat tight, and I got this severe ear pain due to pressure variation.

Ughhh, it's paining a lot...

Suddenly I felt something warm in my hands, I looked at my left hand to find his hand above mine as if trying to comfort me, It would be a lie if I say I didn't feel any better, but I refused to speak.

One because of this pain, and two, I know he would make some crap reasons which would either taunt or hurt me.

I then saw a strip of chewing gum extended to me. I took it and started chewing it, and it felt a bit better after that.

Soon, I got adjusted to it, and maybe it's my already sleepy state or the hot chocolate, I instantly felt sleepy and tried to sleep. Though I was not comfortable but I guess I was too sleepy. Slowly, my eyes closed.

I slowly woke up as I heard the announcement of landing off. A yawn left my mouth, and I looked towards my right to find her cuddling my arms and sleeping peacefully resting her head on my shoulders. I could feel a sense of pride as I looked towards her. I felt like protecting her from everything at that instant. 

A few strands of her hair covered her face. I quickly let my fingers tug those strands.She looks just like small babies with those slight drools on her face. My hands slowly moved towards her cheeks, It's so soft...

Wish I could feel them with my lips... Wait, what am I even thinking?

I think lack of sleep is indeed getting to my head, I quickly patted her cheeks.

" Wake up, Miss sleepy head." she quickly dogged my hands and woke up.

I thought she would have been irritated and shouted at me, but her face again held expressionless. Don't know why, but it affected me.

Soon we reached our resort, it was a sea facing one. We were so tired we called it a night after clearing of all those petals and flowers.

The place is so calm and gives some sort of a cooling effect exactly how I have imagined it to be, It's been two days, that we have reached here...

Unlike him, I decided to take rounds and visit places here, I think he might have been here... Well, I am not wasting money. I am utilizing this opportunity.

Does he not care at all where I am going... He hates me so much!

A sad smile spread across my face as those water washed of my feet.

" Excuse me, beautiful." I looked up to find a foreigner looking at me, He looked quite handsome.

" Hmm, Hi..."

" uff... it's a crime to let a girl as beautiful as you stay single..." he said flirtatiously, I laughed at his lines...

" Don't you think those lines are too old..." I asked, pointed out his cringes

"Is it? I think I need to improve on these, will you help me generous maiden?" he asked with a fake royal gesture.

" Sure, Young Man... How could I be of help to you?" I said, giving a bow.

Both of us gave a look to each other and laughed our hearts out... it's been a lot since I had laughed. I've been happy like this...

" I am James," he introduced himself.

" And I am Ruhanika, and for the record, I am not single." I said with a wink.

" Ouch, that hurt my heart, woman... Well, he is a lucky man..." 

" Where is he? Seems like he is senseless to leave such a beauty alone..."

" Seems so, I mean he is busy with his work..."he gave me a warm smile, I looked towards him to find the person who I was looking for walking towards me.

" Akshay...." I waved at him, well I had called him here...

Akshay came towards me, James looked at him with wide eyes...

" Man, you never told me you had such a beautiful wife..." James said to akshay...

" I wish... Man, she is my client... who I was talking about." I smiled at his comment. Actually, he was my senior in school and used to have a crush on me, but soon after my college, we caught up and became good friends.

" Ruhi, he was the person who I was talking about..." Oh, he is that guy...

Soon, we moved  towards an empty area and sat to discuss our plans...

Siddhant Pov

It's almost night. Where is she? She normally reaches before sunset or at least by 5.

I shut my laptop and went out to search for her, I tried calling her, but she has left it here itself, How careless this girl can be?

Why am I even searching for her in the first place?

Ya.. because she is my responsibility until we are married...

I reached a small open restaurant, and the scene unfolded in my eyes boiled my nerves...

There she was wearing trousers and a shirt with two other guy, and I went a bit near them.

She then hugged the guy who seemed to be an Indian. 

" Thank you so much, Akshay..." So she has called her lover boy here... Wow, so it was him who she visited all these days...

Why not? She is enjoying her honeymoon quite well. I rushed to them...

Ruhanika Pov

I was talking with Jamy( james) and Akshay when I suddenly felt a hand around my waist and was pulled to something strong. I looked up to find him looking at me with nothing but disgust and hatred.

" Hi, I am her husband Siddhant Mathur..." he introduced himself with a fake smile...

" So you are that dumb person who left this beauty all alone..." jamy said, wrong time and wrong player jamy.

" Yes, it seems like that... I shouldn't have left her... who knows with whom she would be? " he said those words, and his hold on my waist tightened. Both akshay and jamey looked confused, and he quickly jerked them, saying he was joking... But I know better he wasn't.

"So we shall take your leave now," With that, he pulled me from there.

I was in tears by the time we reached our room...

"Leave me, you are hurting me... Siddhant, " I yelped at his hold

" Ya, that's what I shouldn't have done," he said with an evil and sarcastic demeanour

" What do you mean by that?"

" YOU SHAME LESS WHORE... YOU COULD WHORE AROUND WITH ANYONE YOU WANT AND GET FUCKED WITH HOW MANY MEN YOU PLEASE TO... BUT NOT UNTIL YOU HOLD MY SURNAME ALONG SIDE YOUR NAME... IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOU ARE FREAKING HORMONES THEN JUST DIVORCE ME..." he said pulling dangerously close to him and then threw me to the bed.

Did he just say those words... That's it I am not someone who can take all his shits...

He thinks soo low of me... I gulped my tears.

No I can't be weak, not now... 

Under any circumstance I am not allowing anyone to play with my self-respect.

I got up from there.

*tup* I slapped him on his face... my eyes ranging in anger and breaths ragging.

He looked shocked at my actions...

" MR. SIDDHANT MATHUR, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE AUTHORITY TO DEGRADE ME THIS WAY... YOU GET IT... I AM NOT A BLOODY WHORE. THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE IS MY LAWYER  AND SENIOR AKSHAY, AND JAMES I HAVE JUST MET HIM TODAY...

For heavens sake get your brain from gutters... And you are right, I have never thought of this but now seems like I need to do this... I NEED TO GIVE YOU A BLOODY DIVORCE , BECAUSE I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE WITH A SICK MAN LIKE YOU...

AND LISTEN MISTER... THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU ARE DOING THIS I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU THE POWER TO USE SUCH WORDS ON ME I AM NOT TAKING YOUR SHITS... AND NEVER WILL" with that I dashed out of the room feeling extremely exhausted.

I walked and walked until I felt my legs weak soon I sat my legs crossed near the sea shore.

Looking up to the sky filled with star...

I remembered how di used to say that mama papa would be there in those stars looking at me...

Till now I never felt the need to talk to them. I have never been made to feel lonely.

But today I feel left out... I looked out at the stars...

" ma, pa is your daughter soo bad that he thinks of me like this... this low of me..."

" Am I bad omen to everyone ma?"

" I should have come with you to buy the doll that day...* crying * *sniff*"

" Is your choti soo bad, pa?" tears ran through my eyes and I let them flow folding my legs to chest length I rested on them
