Raghav's POV

2 days later

"Sir, you have a meeting in 5 minutes" Dhruv said entering my cabin and I nodded at him.

"Where are the documents Dhruv?"

"Sir everything is ready, you can check it once and then start the meeting" he said with a small smile

"Fine. I'll be there" I dismissed him and sighed. I opened my side drawer for the tablet.

Flashback

"Raghav? What are you doing?" She said taking the tablets from my hand.

"I need to take this Aaradhya, please. I can't.." I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Do you take it before every meeting?" She asked coming behind and massaging my forehead. I relaxed and rested my head on the chair properly.

"Yes I do"

"Why?" She asked continuing the massage.

"Otherwise I become restless, my mood changes instantly if the clients say no for the deal or even point out one single mistake." I said and sighed.

"You don't have to take it now" she took the tablets from my hand and kept it aside.

"And what if I loose control over my anger there?" I asked raising my eyebrows and holding her palms.

She smiled with a blush and kissed my forehead "Then I'll kiss you like this"

I smirked and pulled her in front standing up from my place. "I'll teach you how to kiss"

Flashback end

And trust me, that was indeed the best way of relaxation. She gave me peace. Having her in my arms was a different feeling. A feeling I never experienced.

I ate the tablet and went for the conference. As soon as I entered the room, everyone stood up and greeted me. I nodded and sat on the chair.

"Please begin" I said and sat there observing the projector when she arrived in front of the screen.

Damn! Don't tell me she's going to speak today. She cleared her throat and nervously looked at Vihaan.

He nodded at her and she smiled. I wanted to be the one she turns to when she's nervous.

Congratulations Malhotra! You yourself lost the chance.

My mind mocked at me.

She looked pale and weak. Her eyes red and swollen. Probably she had been crying all day.

Yea! Of course. When you do things to make her cry, she surely will!

My mind mocked again and I sighed.

I felt sad. But only word came to my mind. Divorce

Vihaan, Aaradhya's mom, Niharika, every single person in her life wants me to divorce her.

Will you be able to?

A part of my heart asked and I could feel the anger bubbling inside already.

"So Mr Malhotra what are your views on this?" One of the clients asked and I looked at them immediately.

Shit! I zoned out.

"Umm.. I.. I feel it's good.. very good. Nice presentation Miss Sinha" I said looking into her eyes.

She nodded and I couldn't tolerate the coldness in her eyes. It clearly showed how much she hated me.

I turned to the client only to notice him looking at Aaradhya with a smirk.

F*cking moron! Checking out MY wife!

I got up angrily and held his collar making him stand from his seat. Everyone in the room gasped.

"Raghav what the hell are you doing!" Vihaan shouted coming towards me trying to remove my hands.

"Mr Malhotra! What the hell is this? I won't tolerate any insult. I won't even sign the contract." the client said

"I don't need the f*cking contract! Stop staring MY wife." I said angrily punching him on his stomach.

He coughed. "Please wait outside everyone. I'll handle this" Vihaan said and everyone left.

For the first time, she too walked out. While I was about to stop her Vihaan called me.

"Raghav! Stop! What the f*ck is wrong!?"

"He was checking out Aaradhya! How dare you lay your eyes on Raghav Malhotra's wife!?" I punched him again.

"Stop your nonsense Raghav!" Vihaan said separating me from him and apologizing.

"We're extremely sorry sir. We'll sign the contr...."

"We won't! I won't tolerate him! I don't want to be involved in any partnership with him!" I said angrily walking out.

As I came outside I noticed people whispering.

"Is she really Raghav sir's wife?"

"Oh my god! I never knew this!"

"They didn't even invite"

"God knows since when they're married"

"Maybe that's why she got a job easily"

"SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!" I shouted gaining attention.

I pulled Aaradhya towards me and keeping my hand on her shoulder I announced "Aaradhya is MY wife. She's married to me. Dare anyone say anything against her."

Aaradhya angrily removed my hand from her shoulder and looking at everyone she said "We're not married. He was just saving me from the client."

Turning to me she asked "Am I right sir?" I silently nodded and left.

Half an hour later Vihaan barged into my cabin. "What the hell is your problem Raghav!"

"What?"

"Why did you do that?"

"I was just saving Aaradhya. I don't want her to get insulted."

"Fine. And the deal? Why did you beat him?" He asked sitting on the chair.

"He was checking her out. Is that enough?" I stared back at him.

"No it's not. Raghav Malhotra, you said you don't love Aaradhya. Why the hell are you bothered for her!?" He shouted angrily.

"Because she's my employee" I said

He chuckled "Sure"

He got up and went to the door. Before leaving, he turned to me with rage in his eyes.

"Your ego is so big Raghav Malhotra. You won't even accept that you love her."

I sighed in frustration and took a cigarette from the side drawer.

Just then I heard a knock. "Come in" I said puffing the smoke.

As soon as I saw Aaradhya entering I changed my face into a cold one.

"Raghav Malhotra, stop doing things for me. You think I wasn't aware that the guy was checking me out." She coughed.

I immediately stopped smoking and discarded the cigarette in the ash tray.

"I was very well aware. But I kept quiet for the deal." She said getting up.

"My company doesn't give deals to people who accept it by checking out MY employees" I said in a cold voice.

"You said MY wife there" she replied looking into my eyes.

"So? Aren't you my wife?" I replied immediately and looked away.

"I.. I mean.." I tried covering up but she held out a file at me.

"Not anymore Raghav" she said with a smile.

I opened the file to see divorce papers in it. I looked at her shocked.

"What? You thought I'd run behind you to accept me?"

"I.. I never.."

"You broke me Raghav. Very well played." She sniffed and I saw into her eyes that had tears.

"Sign them and send it with Vihaan. Hope you stay happy." She said getting up from her place.

As she was about to leave she turned around and sighed.

"One last thing, I don't want you to take stands for me. I can do that for myself. Infact, I WILL do that myself when need arises. Next time, think before you act"

As she closed the door, I threw the file away. I don't know what is happening to me.

I can't tolerate someone looking at her. It feels like I have lost my peace. A part of me has left with her. I sighed and looked at my grandmother's photo.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what's right and what's wrong. What's happening to me I can't even explain it. I mean.. I.. I know I've done wrong to her but.."

"I don't want to be like dad. But then I don't want them to know that I'm weak. I.." I sighed closing my eyes.

Flashback

"Raghav, never disrespect a girl. Specially the one who loves you. She might care for you 100 times more than she shows it to you."

"But granny, how do you know this?"

"Because I was myself like that. I could never express my love. But you know, your grandpa.. he always knew." She smiled.

"Always remember Raghav, if you love someone, tell it to them before it's too late. Before they leave and you regret" she said

"And what if they have already left?" I asked with tears.

She chuckled "Ask for forgiveness. Your ego is not greater than your relationship Raghav."

"So will mom and dad forgive me?" I asked sadly.

"People who love you selflessly will do Raghav. Also, it's not your fault that they left you. You are my perfect boy right? And I'm always here to say that, I love you baby boy." She ruffled my hairs and I laughed.

Flashback end

"I'm not that perfect boy anymore granny. You wouldn't have even said I love you to me if you were here." I sighed.

I thought of going and trying this technique out by saying sorry.

Raghav Malhotra saying sorry. But for his girl. Yes yes, now don't kill me. This time, I truly love her.

Finally you accepted it! Thank God!

My mind mocked. Just then Dhruv came into my cabin.

"Sir, a letter for you" he said handing me the envelope and left.

What I saw inside was enough to make my blood boil with anger. I angrily left my cabin. Also, it was almost time for everyone to leave.

Most of them had even left. And I knew she would be at Vihaan's home now.

I drove there as fast as I could and reached his house.

I rang the bell as quickly as possible. There was no response. I rang it again.

"Coming coming!!" I heard the voice from inside. Ishita opened the door and looked at me with shock.

"Maa! Jiju is here" she said looking at me with tears.

"I'm not your f*cking Jiju! So please stop it" I said with a stern voice and she nodded "sorry"

I went inside to see her sitting there with a blank face. As soon as she saw me she got up.

I could see the coldness in her eyes.

"So Mr Malhotra. Signed the divorce papers?" She asked and I laughed.

"It was already decided isn't it? You were anyway going to cheat me. What I did to you, it makes no difference then. Anyway we were going to part ways"

"What the hell are you saying Raghav!!?" She shouted and her mom and Vihaan too came there.

"Ohh hello Mrs Sinha, you think your child is very much innocent? Very much pure?" I laughed looking at her mom.

"Such a money minded f*cking slu......" Before I could complete a tight slap landed on my face.

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH RAGHAV MALHOTRA!!!!" Aaradhya shouted angrily.

"I thought I wouldn't use violence and you should yourself feel guilty. But you have left me no option!!! Don't judge MY character. Do the same to yours first."

"Don't even dare to...."

"Oh I've already done it Mr Malhotra. Let's do a small analysis of your character. How many girls have you slept with?" She said and I was about to speak when she continued

"Leave that. How many names do you remember? You are a f*cking womanizer hungry for sex!! Nothing else! You get that straight in your mind!!!!"

"Your grandmother wanted you to be a good man. You told me you never wanted to be like your dad. But guess what? You have exactly done that Raghav Malhotra!!!!" She shouted and I realised not even a bit of it was wrong.

"Your dad left your mom. He married her, pleasured himself and left her. He became a great womanizer! You are EXACTLY the same!!!! You married me, you pleasured yourself, and now you left. And womanizer! Ha! That you already are!"

"You used my bo...."

"AARADHYA!" I shouted before she completes.

"Why? Truth hurts Mr Malhotra? Does it hurt more than you did to me? What do you think you will leave me and I'll sit here crying for you. Not at all Raghav. Not at all"

"Sign the divorce papers and leave us alone!!" She shouted for the last time and I noticed tears in her eyes as she angrily left.

I never imagined so much hate for me in her eyes.

I also left the place without looking at anyone else. I don't know what to believe and what not to. My head is spinning and I badly needed a drink.

I left from there and went home. I wanted the truth. I don't know how to find it out.

I dialled one of my trusted detectives.

"Hello"

"Yes sir"

"I need you to find about something"

Precap: "What the hell do you mean by Aaradhya is missing!!" I said angrily going inside.

"Vihaan! Vihaan!" I shouted

He came towards me and frowned "Raghav? What are you doing here? And at this time?"

"From how many days is she missing!!"

Let's just hope for the best. Till then you can enjoy the story.
