Happy reading peeps....

Point of view: Bela's POV....

••••••••

I kneeled down to pray.... And I wanted to pray for something else but all I could think is of him.... I didn't want to lose him... So I prayed just for him from god.... That I don't want to be without him.... And if in case we won't be together then I just want him to be happy.... That's all... After praying I got up to leave but I turned to see him there.... His face was unhappy and his eyes were red.... But then he just told me that we should leave and we are getting late.... The slightest doubt I had that may be this divorce is not exactly what he wants, that doubt was cleared when I saw how curious he is to reach the court.... I am happy for you Mahir....

We drove to the court....

We went in to get the divorce papers.... As we went to the lawyer whom Mahir contacted before, he started discussing the case with him....

After listening to our case lawyer was silent and serious and he was looking at us.... Specifically at me.... I didn't like his gaze at all which was seeming lustful too....

But before I could say anything Mahir banged the table in front of us to make him look at him....

"She is my wife you idiot.... Stop looking at her like this if you love your your hands and legs, and don't want to get them broken....", He warned him while glaring at him....

In a second the lawyer burst out laughing, which made us confused and we looked at each other....

"Mr. Sehgal... You know what.... You can't take divorce with this attitude at all....", Lawyer said while laughing....

"Shut up.... You won't tell me what can I do and what not....", Mahir glared again to which the lawyer rolls his eyes....

"What I mean to say is.... I just pretended to look at Mrs Sehgal in a bad way.... To judge your attitude what you will be showing to judge too.... And I can clearly see how much you love her that you can break my hands and legs if I will continue looking at her like that.... Clearly it's love and if it's not then you guys will make it soon.... Judge will straightaway cancel your divorce application....", Lawyer explained....

What? Love? No.... Why will he love me? He misunderstood it....

"See.... It's not anything what you are saying... She is my friend so... But you please make the papers we will handle it....", Mahir told him....

Yes I knew it.... I am just a friend to him.... Thankfully at least a friend....

"Technically you guys can't even sign divorce papers....", Lawyer shrugged his shoulder while saying this to which Mahir raised his eyebrows questioning him to explain..... So he continued....

"See.... It has been just 25 days since you both got married.... A couple can't file divorce before completion of 6 months of their marriage.... And if you both will sign paper and will go to the judge then she will give you 6 months duration again from today.... Not from the day of your marriage.... So not presenting the papers to judge is a better option....", Lawyer explained and leaned back to his chair....

"Is there any other way?", I questioned....

"Ohh Mrs Sehgal? You are permitted to speak too by your husband? I thought he is a controlling freak and he didn't permit you to talk....", He raises his eyebrows while questioning making me give him a 'don't you dare to talk' look and I spoke up while glaring at him....

"Whatever your name is.... Please don't interfere in our personal matter.... He is my husband and nobody has a fuckin' right to speak against him.... And he gives me all the freedom to talk and to do anything whatever I want to.... So please shove your judgements in your pockets....", I answered....

He laughs again.... Such a Dumbo he is....

"The very first couple I am seeing.... Like.... Husband can't see any other man looking at his wife and wife can't hear anything bad about her husband yet they are getting divorced... Again I was testing her attitude.... And considering Mrs. Sehgal's question... Yes there would have been another way to break this marriage.... That is of nullifying it.... Under nullifying, court nullifies a marriage if both husband and wife are agreeing but only at a condition if it has not been cussomated.... I mean.... You know.... If they are not in a physical relationship...."

As he said this, Mahir looks at me with discomfort in his eyes and even I was at discomfort because such matters are difficult to be discussed.... As Mahir was looking at me, I nodded a little to assure him that it's okay.... And we can say the truth....

"No.... It's not cossumated yet.... We can consider nullifying...." , Mahir said this while looking at him while holding my hand to assure me that he is with me.... And then Mahir started looking at me....

The lawyer was smiling.... God.... How irritating he is....

"Mr and Mrs Sehgal.... It is not cussomated in that way i can agree if you both are saying but in the eyes of law it is already cussomated.... You both got married according to Christian traditions of West.... And under those traditions, a kiss in the church in front of father and everybody else is also considered as a cussomation.... So yeah it is cussomated too for namesake in the eyes of law...."

Mahir looked at me again with an apologetic look.... May be he got reminded of the day when he kissed me.... That too forcefully.... But now I have forgiven him.... So I just nodded to him....

Suddenly the lawyer again spoke up....

"You guys know what.... I am observing you both.... You guys actually have those eye-conversations which generally people can't have.... Well I don't see any flaw in this marriage.... So not interfering much in your personal matter I can only say.... You guys need to wait for sure for 6 months completion of your marriage.... So try to give each other a chance.... Moreover try to give this marriage a chance.... I have seen couples fighting here in front of me telling how incompatible they were.... But looking at you both I can't even believe that you both want divorce.... So please think on this.... Best of luck you both.... ", Saying this the lawyer started getting up.... And he was leaving, when he asked Mahir in sign language to come in a corner for some talk....

Mahir raised his eyebrow at him but then he nodded in yes being confused....

"Bela.... You please wait and lemme see what this Dumbo wants to say....", Mahir said while getting up when the lawyer was already at a corner....

"I can hear that Mr. Sehgal", lawyer said while furrowing his brows only to earn a sheepish smile from Mahir....

And Mahir followed him.... After sometime he came back to me and forwarded his hand to me....

"What was he saying?", I asked him to which he just smiled a little and looked at me....

"Some shit.... Leave it....", He said and then we were going back towards car....

"So we need to wait for 6 months?", I asked to which he nodded in yes looking at me still holding my hand....

"I am sorry Bela.... For everything.... Everything bad I ever did.... Especially for that kiss.... I am sorry....", He said out of nowhere with his eyes full of regret.... How many times do I need to tell him that I am not angry anymore?

"Mahir I swear if you said sorry for another time then I will chuck you out here only....", I said to which he chuckled....

"I excused you Mr. Sehgal....", I smiled at him to which he mouths a small 'sorry' again to which I narrowed my eyes at him and then he mouths 'okay ma'am I won't say it now' in a low voice so that only I could hear it and I smiled.....

"Can we start it all over again?", He questioned looking at me still holding my hand....

"You want to?", I asked....

"I wish to.... If you too want to then only", he said....

"I'll love to....", I said with a smile....

He left my hand and then he stepped back... To which I looked him being confused....

Then he stepped towards me again and forwarded his hand for a handshake with a smile and said,"I am Mahir Sehgal.... You?"

I understood that he actually is starting from very beginning since we never had a proper introduction....

So I forwarded my hand too for handshake and said,"I am Bela.... Bela Sharma.... Oops.... Sehgal now...."

"Sehgal?", He smirked saying this.... God this jerk can never change....

"Yes.... Bela.... Um... Bela Mahir Sehgal....", I was hesitating to say that but somehow I gathered courage to add Mahir there in between 'Bela' and 'Sehgal' to which he looked at me with an amused face....

"Bela.... You don't need to add this jerk's name if don't want to...."

"I wish to....", I repeat his own words to this and he smiles.... The most genuine smile of all the time.... And god... Please.... Make this marriage work.... I don't know how far will it go.... But please.... I love him....
