"I want a divorce" Meera announced as Arjun looked on at her.

-

"Arjun-" Meera tried to say something as Arjun glared at her making her quiet. Arjun continued cleaning her wound, very carefully wiping the blood and looking at her palm to see if there were any glass pieces present. Meera winced making Arjun blow at the wound gently. 

"is your hand cursed or what! keep hurting the same hand again and again!" Arjun muttered as he took a very careful look at her hand before beginning to apply the ointment on the wound. 

"Okay now tell me, what do you want?" He asked bluntly 

"I-I- I want a divorce" Meera stuttered 

"Your right hand is injured, you can't sign any papers so you can't get a divorce" Arjun said as he furiously applied the ointment slowing down every time Meera winced. "Why do you want a divorce?" he added 

"I-I think I am wrong for you" Meera said reluctantly 

Arjun stopped applying the ointment and looked at her in disbelief for a second, "of course, the great Meera Gupta, only she is smart enough to figure out everything, she is only going to figure out whether she is right for me or wrong, because I am just some dumbass, right?" he said caustically 

Meera pulled her hand away from him and turned away. 

"Har cheez decide karne ka theka tumne le rakha hai kya!? You are wrong for me, why, did anyone ask you to think what was wrong or right for me!? no! god knows what this habit of public service you have! did you ever think if I was right for you! did you? tell me, do you know the answer to this? no you don't, bekar mein nosy aunty banna hai!" Arjun began ranting a he pulled her hand to wipe the blood that had begun leaking out of the wound once again. 

"Can you stop it! you just need to reason to rant about me all the time, even now!" Meera cried out

"of course, you want a fucking divorce and I am not even allowed to rant! did you think about me? even once? when you said that you wanted a divorce, very easily you said that you want a divorce and here I am, just dying to spend some time with you!" Arjun retorted as he slowly bandaged her wound tightly. Meera didn't even make eye contact with him, she was tongue tied, again. 

"I am scared I'll just be another one night stand to you, just a rebound or something, just an obligation" Meera whispered

"Are you stupid! I am here, thinking about you all the time! even the time when I went to meet my ex of 6 years! I am thinking all the time, what would Meera do if she were here, what would Meera say, what would Meera thing, how would Meera react! but no, Meera doesn't care! Meera just wants a fucking divorce!" Arjun said sternly as he got up from the bed, Meera followed him, still in a total state of emotional turmoil. 

"It's not like I don't care okay! it's because I do care! too much!" Meera cried out 

"oh so it's because you care about me, that you wanna leave me!?" Arjun asked caustically 

"yes! so I don't hurt you or me with the large baggage that I carry with me! with all the bad genes that I get with me! tell me, tell me would you be okay to find me flinching everytime you touch me with affection! would you be okay!? would you be okay to find that i won't be able to reciprocate any kind of affection! that my bad genes would catch up with me and i'll end up cheating on you! tell me, would you be okay? okay with the fact that I'll probably need eternity to adapt to the idea of romance! to adapt to your touch! is that okay?" Meera said rapidly, her tone beginning with an intense amplitude and ending at a subtly note
