After some days....

Sana and Aditya were standing outside the court with their family members.

"Sana, ek baar phir se soch le puttar. Woh husband hai tera. Jaa ke maafi maang, pair pakad uske taa ki woh tainu divorce naa de." Gurpreet Ji said.

"Sab kuch try kar ke dekh liya Mummy. Agar unhone mann bana hi liya hai ki woh mujhe divorce dennge, phir unka decision koi change nahi kar sakta. Aur aise relationship ka kya fayda jis mein itta sa bhi trust na ho? Hone di jiye jo ho raha hai." Sana said.

Gurpreet Ji went to her husband and said in a low voice, "Dekhiye Ji, divorce ke baad main isko apne ghar mein nahi rakhne wali. Agar iski itni hi zidd hai toh phir thik hai. Iss se keh di jiyega, yeh apna intezaam khud hi kar le."

"Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Humare ghar nahi rahegi toh kaha jayegi? Bhulo mat woh ghar iska bhi hai." Jagvir Ji said.

"Jo ladki khud hi apna ghar ujaad de, uska bojh hum kyu uthaye?"

"Meri beti koi bojh nahi hai. Aur jo kuch bhi ho raha hai, iss mein uski koi galti nahi hai. Aur jaha uski galti nahi hai waha woh nahi jhukegi."

"Galti nahi hai? Woh photos nahi dekhe apne? Kaise uss padaye ladke ke saath chipki hui thi....."

"Bas Gurpreet! Bohut hua. Mujhe Sana par pura bharosa hai. Aur bachpan se jo sanskar maine usse diye hai unn par bhi. Sana kabhi koi galat kaam nahi kar sakti. Aaj tak tum sirf Sana ko neecha dikhati aayi ho. Main kabhi kuch bol nahi paaya. Lekin jab sawal meri beti ke character ke upar utha hai, main chup nahi barithunga."

Gurpreet Ji understood her husband's mood and became quiet.

On the other hand, Isha and Shehbaaz were standing at a corner.

"Jo nahi hona chahiye tha wahi ho raha hai. Yeh log agar alag ho gaye toh humara kya? Kaun accept karega humare rishte ko?" Isha said.

"Iss waqt humara sirf apne baare mein sochna sahi nahi hai Isha." Shehbaaz said.

"Kyu na soche? Unhone kabhi socha humare baare mein? Specially tumhari behen, woh toh sirf apne baare mein sochti hai."

"Isha iss mein mere behen ki koi galti nahi hai. Tum log pehle apni mentality thik karo." Shehbaaz said and went to his family.

"Bhabi, agar aap ki wajah se hum dono ke bich koi problem create hui, I swear main apko kabhi maaf nahi karungi." Isha said in her mind.

After sometime, they were called inside the court.

They both sat in front of the judge.

"Aap dono ki shaadi ko kitne saal hue?" The judge asked.

"6 saal." Aditya said.

"Kya aap dono sach mein yeh divorce chahte hai?"

They both nodded.

"Mr. Aditya Arora, aap kyu apni wife ko divorce dena chahte hai?" The judge asked Aditya.

"Kyu ki inka kisi aur ke saath affair chal raha hai. She is not loyal towards me." Aditya said.

"Mrs. Shehnaaz Arora, kya apke pati jo keh rahe hai, woh sach hai?"

"Nahi." Sana said.

"Toh phir aap kyu inhe divorce de rahi hai?"

"Kyu ki Aditya yeh hi chahte hai. Aaj tak kabhi inke marzi ke khilaaf nahi gayi aur aaj bhi nahi jaungi."

"Aap khud kya chahti hai?"

"Jis rishte mein minimum trust tak nahi hai, main uss mein nahi reh sakti."

After sometime the judge said, "Saare gawahon ko madde nazar rakhte hue court aap dono ko 6 mahine tak ka waqt deti hai. After that we will do the further proceeding."

Everyone stood up and left the court.

"Bas ab aur 6 mahine saath mein rehna padega. Uske baad hum dono ke raste humesha ke liye alag." Aditya said in a low voice.

Sana nodded.

Few days passed. Things were now completely changed. Sana was staying with her in law's but their behaviour towards Sana were not the same like earlier. Everybody in the house were ignoring her. It looked like they were hating her presence. Passing days in that house was being intolerable for her. Whenever she became weak, she started crying alone in her room. But there was no one to console her. She became completely alone.

But one thing that she didn't stop was talking to Sidharth. They were now regularly meeting. Sidharth was the only person who was there for her.

One day, after NGO, Sana met Sidharth at a cafe.

Sidharth noticed that she was upset.

"Sana, are you alright?" Sidharth asked.

"Alright?" Sana smiled sadly. "Ab kuch bhi right kaha raha? My life has totally turned upside down. You know sometime I feel that I'm living in hell."

Sidharth put his hand on Sana's hand and said, "I can understand what you are going through. Tumhare liye yeh situation bohut tough hai. Par aaj tum kuch zyada hi udaas ho. What happened? You can tell me."

"Paata hai Sidharth, koi bhi situation kitni bhi tough kyu na ho, agar apke apne apke saath ho nah then you can easily overcome it. But bura toh tab lagta hai jab apke apne hi apko galat samjhe."

Sana told Sidharth about the incident that happened to her in the morning.

Flashback...

In the morning...

Sana was in the kitchen and making breakfast.

Suddenly she heard Isha telling her mother, "Mummy main college jaa rahi hoon. Aur haan, aaj ghar lautne mein thodi der ho jayegi."

Hearing that Sana came out of the kitchen and asked, "Kyu kahi jaana hai tujhe? Raat tak toh ghar wapas aa hi jaayegi nah?"

Isha became angry.

"Mummy aap apni bahu se keh di jiye ki main kaha jaa rahi hoon, kab wapas aaungi, iski fikar karne ki zaroorat inhe nahi hai. Yeh abhi kuch hi din ki mehmaan hai isliye mere mamle mein dakhal na de toh hi behtaar rahega." Isha said indirectly and left from there.

Sana got hurt. Tears started rolling down from her eyes.

Flashback ends...

Sana wiped her tears with a tissue paper and said, "Uss ghar mein main agar sabse zyada kisi ke close thi toh woh hai Isha. Hum dono bhabi-nanad kam aur behne zyada lagte the. Iss divorce ke chakkar mein mere baaki rishte bhi kharab hogaye."

Sidharth felt sorry for her.

"I know ki tum Isha se kitni attached thi. Mujhe lagta hai yeh jo kuch bhi ho raha hai sayad kahi na kahi iska zinmedaar main bhi hoon."

"No Sidharth. Don't blame yourself. Main khud uss din tumse milne aayi thi. Aur hum kuch galat nahi kar rahe the. Galat toh logo ki soch hai. Sirf kuch photos ki wajah se agar koi rishta tut jaye toh samjho woh rishta bohut hi nazuk hai. Aise nazuk rishte ko nibhane se accha hai ki hum humesha ke liye alag ho jaye."

"Sana, tumse ek baat puchu? Do you still love Aditya?"

Sana became silent.

Sidharth was eagerly waiting for the answer.

After sometime she said, "I don't know. Main bas itna janti hoon ki main yeh divorce kabhi nahi chahti thi. Saath hi saath main jor jabardasti se yeh rishta nibhana bhi nahi chahti."

Sidharth smiled.

"Agar tum Aditya se pyaar karti toh ek baar mein hi directly jawab deti. It means that you don't love him anymore. Aur woh banda tumhara pyaar deserve hi nahi karta. I think now I should tell you about him and Dipti." Sidharth said in his mind.

Sidharth was going to say but suddenly he stopped himself.

"No no, it's too early. Mujhe thoda aur wait karna chahiye. Taa ki Sana uss Aditya ko apne dil se puri tarah se nikal sake. I think divorce ho jaane ke baad baatana sahi rahega. Tab Sana ko paata chalega toh woh zyada hurt nahi hogi." Sidharth said in his mind.

In the evening....

Sana returned home and saw some guests sitting on the sofa. Aditya and Smrita Ji were talking to them. They all noticed Sana.

"Umm yeh Shehnaaz hai...... Aditya ki wife." Smrita Ji said.

Aditya made a face.

"Sat Sri Akal!" Sana said to the guests.

"Toh aap log kya keh rahe the?" Smrita Ji asked.

"Haan Ji, woh humara puttar hai na, New York mein rehta hai. Abhi holiday pe aaya hai. Wapas lautne se pehle hum uski shaadi kara dena chahte hai."

"Phir toh jinna zaldi ho sake shaadi karwa deni chahiye. Waise humari kudi bhi lakhon mein ek hai."

"Woh toh hai. Photo dekhi hai humne. Kahi nazar nahi aa rahi..."

"Woh bas aati hi hogi. Usne kaha tha late hoga. Sayad college mein aaj zyada kaam hai."

Sana couldn't understand anything. She went to Aditya and asked, "Yeh log Isha ke baare mein kyu puch rahe hai?"

"Yeh ladke wale hai, Isha ko dekhne aaye hai. Ladka NRI hai. Agar Isha inhe pasand aa gayi, toh uski life set ho jayegi." Aditya said without looking at her.

"Isha ko dekhne aaj ladke wale aane wale the? Apne mujhe toh ek baar bhi nahi baataya."

"Kyu baatau tumhe? Akhir tum ho kaun humari? Tum se humara ab koi naata nahi hai. Tum inn sab se jitna dur raho utna hi accha hai."

Sana didn't say anything and kept standing there silently.

After sometime Isha came.

"Arrey woh aa gayi humari Isha." Smrita Ji said.

They all looked at her. Isha became confused.

"Bas Behen Ji, ab humein chalna hoga. Lekin humein apki Isha bohut pasand aayi hai. Badi sohni kudi hai. Aap yeh rishta pakka samjho." The mother of the boy said.

"Rishta matlab?" Isha asked.

Sana came to her and said, "Main samjhati hoon. Yeh log tujhe dekhne aaye the. Aur mubarak ho, teri shaadi tay ho chuki hai."

While saying Sana pulled her cheeks.

Isha pushed her and said, "Hatiye. Aap kuch bhi bole jaa rahi hai. Aur kisne kaha ki main shaadi kar rahi hoon? Mujhe nahi karni koi shaadi."

Aditya came to her and said in a low voice, "Isha behave yourself. Haan mujhe paata hai ki humne tujhe pehle nahi baataya. Lekin abhi koi scene create mat kar."

"Main koi scene create nahi kar rahi. Aap log suddenly meri shaadi nahi tay kar sakte aur woh bhi mujhse bina puche." Isha looked at the guests and said, "I'm sorry. Par aap please yaaha se jaaiye. Main yeh shaadi nahi kar sakti."

"Haan haan jaate hai. Paata nahi ghar bulake bezzati karne ki kya zaroorat thi."

They all left from there angrily.

"Kitna accha NRI ladka tha. Sirf teri wajah se haath se nikal gaya." Aditya said angrily.

"Guests ke samne koi aise behave karta hai bhala?" Smrita Ji said.

"Toh aur kya karti? Ek toh aap logo ne bina puche meri shaadi tay kar di. Upar se mujhe hi suna rahe hai. Aap log saaf saaf sun li jiye, I can't marry him because there is someone else in my life."

"Kya kaha tune?" Aditya asked.

"Wahi jo apne suna. Main kisi aur se pyaar karti hoon."

"Kaun hai woh?" Aditya asked.

"Haan Isha baata kaun hai woh." Smrita Ji said.

Isha paused for a while.

"Come on Isha! Tell me who the guy is." Aditya said loudly.

"Shehbaaz!" Isha said suddenly.

Everyone became shocked specially Sana.
