Yet Again (under Editing)

Part 73

****One week later****
****Rajiv's pov******
It has been a week since Bhoomi left.... those divorce papers were still lying in the drawer next to my bed. I didn't sign them yet. Actually I couldn't built up the courage to throw a second glance on them.I have been going to office regularly since then..wearing a smile on my face. Nothing changed since then.... cause I still had hope that she will be back. Except one thing..... I had stopped speaking to shreya.Although she tried to apologise... I ignored her every time. She was still staying in my house but she didnot existed in my world.I had accepted the truth that my best friend was dead.I was sitting in my cabin, when the phone rang and I came out of my thoughts. "Hello.... " I answered the call." Raju.... Its somya.." My face brightened up as heard Somu's voice after such a long time."somu....kesa hai yaar?kahan se baat kar raha hai.." I asked in excitement..." I'm outside your cabin you idiot..." He spoke and opened the door.I kept the phone aside and ran to hug him."Bas kar bahut ho gaya..tera drama..." He said in a comic tone.I broke the hug and sat on the sofa kept in the cabin, as he settled himself."Aur bata tu toh bhul hi gaya mujhe... Haan yaar kyu yaad rahenge... Jab pyaar milgaya.. Hai na? " he tried to tease me but instead of smiling.... My face became dull and he sensed my sad ness. "Kya hua? Bhoomi thik toh hai na? Everything's fine na?" He asked holding my shoulder.I gave up and couldn't control the pain... I told everything to him.After hearing everything, he hugged me and said"I knew from day one that she was not meant for you... She used to hate you... I asked you to give up.. But you were crazy... You never gave up and married her... See what you got in return ? Betrayal" I could feel how angry he was."No... Somu.. Something's wrong..I feel she's in danger... She loves me and can never do this to me.." I replied."For God's sake...open your eyes you idiot...she never loved you.. Now forget her and move on.." Saying this he walked out of my cabin furiously.I covered my face with my palms... If everyone could see that she left me.. Then why was I still feeling that she will comeback... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**In the evening**I walked into the house.. There was noone in sight..I climbed the stairs and went to my room.. Somu's words kept ringing in my ears.Suddenly I heard Aashi's cry as I was about to open my shirt to change. I rushed to shreya's room.I was about to enter when I saw shreya abusing Aashi. "Mujhe Papa ke paas jaana hai..." Aashi was crying bitterly."Woh tere papa nahi hai..he's nobody to us.." She was about to slap Aashi when I interfered."Papa.." Aashi hugged me... Scared of shreya."Kuch nahi hoga beta.. Aap papa ke room me jao mein abhi aaya.." I assured her and she ran away with her doll."What are you doing shreya?" I was furious."I was trying to gather the little respect I am left with.." She said as she packed her luggage."What do you mean by that?" I was confused."Tumhara kya hai? People will never blame you.. But the society will blame me... For living with a man whose wife left him.. Without any relation..kya sochenge log jab Woh aashi ko tumhe papa bolte huye sunenge Aur unhe pata chalega ki humara toh koi rishta hai hi nahi.. Being a single mother is not easy ... And I don't want my difficulties to add up.." She huffed and closed her bag.I stayed mum... She dragged her bag behind her and went to my room and pulled Aashi by her arm forcefully. Aashi struggled to free herself and cried "papa"I went to her and released Aashi from her grip."Nothing will happen as you think.. Mein aisa hone nahi dunga... Tell me what to do? I will do it.. But don't take Aashi from me.." I pleaded to shreya."So you will do anything for Aashi..then marry me.." She said and I was shocked..and couldn't utter a word."Answer me Raju? Will you marry me?" She dropped her luggage and went inside my room.She took the divorce papers out of the drawer and came back to me.. "Here sign these...and marry me... " she looked straight into my eyes.I was still mum.."I knew it... Come Aashi..." She again dragged Aashi ."Papa... Mujhe nahi jaana... Papa please.." Aashi's innocent pleadings pierced my heart and I yelled "I will marry you"She stopped and turned in surprise.. I walked to her and took the divorce papers from her and signed them.She smiled as I returned those papers to her and took Aashi in my arms.. May be somu was right.. I should move on..*****************************************************************Bhoomi's POV**I had refused to eat or drink.. Since the day I knew the truth.Prithvi used to come everyday and torture me saying disgusting things.He asked me to marry him everyday.. But I refused every time.Today as he was in the middle of his love confession .. His phone rang and he put it on speaker."Hello" he said."Give the phone to that fool..." Shreya's voice came."Say it.. She's listening.." Prithvi winked at me and I made a disgusted face."Hi.. Bhoomi baby... Hope prithvi is taking good care of you.. Anyways you are his headache now.. I just wanted to give this good news to you... The motive of your misery is finally fulfilled.. Raju signed the divorce papers and agreed to marry me.. We are getting married after two days in the Immanuel church... You know na.. Rajiv got bored by your type of marriage.. So we are going for my way.. The Christian wedding..I so wished I could see your face. Now but....hahahaha..let it be.. I could imagine your expression.. Bye.. Take care"I couldn't believe my ears ... Rajiv agreed to marry her..This is just all my fault.. Tears oozed out of my eyes and prithvi wiped them."See.. He moved on... Now its your turn..will you marry me?" He asked looking into my eyes."Yes.." I nodded.. And he hugged me happily as I tried to struggle out of his arms but in vain as I was tied up."But on one condition..." I spoke through the hug.."What?" He asked me breaking the hug.."I want to get married at the same place, on the same day, at the same time they are getting married..." I put forward my condition.He blinked twice, stared at my face and then kissed my forehead."Anything you say, my love" he smiled again hugging me
