One night after we returned, Papa ji  called us downstairs to speak with Meet and myself. "Meet Beeta. Hamen lagata hai ki Ashi aapake lie sahee ladakee hai. Aap chaahen to usase shaadee kar sakate hain.(Meet beta. We feel like Ashi is the right girl for you. You can marry her if you are willing to.)" Meet Alawhat and I both were taken back for a moment. Sure, I knew we are husband and wife but Meet does not know it the same way! He knows me as Ms.Ashi Singh, the partner he was assigned with to complete the mission. "Lekin Papa itanee jaldee. Main usake lie vaisa nahin mahasoos karata jaisa mainne meet ke lie kiya tha.(But Papa this early. I don't feel the same way for her as I did for Meet.)" I knew this would be his response. I mean, if it were me in his situation I would have reclined too. "Vaise Meet meree pasand aur choice thee. Tum usase napharat karate the. Ab aap usake bina jeevan nahin jee sakate. Bas mere saath sahamat hain beeta.(Well Meet was my choice. You used to hate her. Now you cannot live a life without her. Just agree with me Beta.)" At last he knew he could not argue anymore so he agreed married to marry me but sadly. It was a beautiful sunny day and we all got ready. It was a short function with only a few of our family guests but it was memorable. Meet was not ready for this and so was I. We got ready and I wore a saree as he wore a suit. He did not look away or cry as he did for our previous wedding but still I knew it on the inside. It was a very difficult choice to make but he did it for me and his family. Mummy was there too but she could not recognize me even without the glasses. He did not feel any happiness. He did not ignore me and he had a relationship with me. But we never went off the limits since he was not ready yet. Suddenly, one day, a call came and it was urgent. I picked it up and it was very strange. "Hello? Kya ye hai Ms. Ashi Singh?(Is this Ms. Ashi Singh)" I was confused as to who could call us in the middle of the night but then I remembered our mission. "Hi Ashi. Hamane Rana aur Shanty ko bheje gae aapake documents dekhe. Hamen abhee pata chala hai aur ve is hanskins samooh ke neta maane jaate hain. Unhonne hamen phon kiya aur kaha ki ve aapako chunautiyaan bhejenge. Aapako unaka saamana karane ke lie kaaphee majaboot hona chaahie. Ve tumhen sachamuch maar bhee sakate hain.Pahalee chunautee yah hai ki ek ladakee hai jisaka apaharan kar liya gaya hai aur tumhen use usake maata-pita ke paas surakshit vaapas laana hoga.(Hi Ashi. We saw your documents sent upon Rana and Shanty. We just found out and they are supposed to be the leaders of this hanskins group. They gave us a call and told us that they will be sending you challenges. You must be strong enough to face them. They might even kill you for real.The first challenge is that there is a girl who got kidnapped and you must bring her safely back to her parents.)"  I accepted their challenge and was nervous at first. I told Meet about the incident. We both put on our suits and went to the address code which we had solved and burst in the doors. We fought the goons and returned the girl safely. There often more challenges like defeating the goons and saving crowds from dangerous threats and bombs. One day while I was on a bank robbery mission I felt sick and dizzy. Tuduram got worried and called the doctor to their home since it was safe. The scannings all reported that I was 3 months pregnant with a baby. Meet was so happy that he was going to be a father, even though the mother was not the girl he loved. But I had a kind and sweet heart that would make a very loving mother and he came to realize that. Soon after 9 months of rest, the emergencies came. It was two adorable little baby girls as the we rejoiced. "Hamen unaka kya naam rakhana chaahie?" Meet asked me when we were at the hospital. "Prachi ke baare mein kya? Yah ek amazing nam hai aur meree maan ke chachere bhaee ka ek hee naam hai. Isaka matalab hai ki vah jo subah kee tarah hai.(How about Prachi. It is something amazing and my mom's cousin has the same name. It means she who is like the morning.)" I was so happy with this decision and I decided to call my elder one. Meet gave a chance for me to name the younger girl. "Suhani? Us naam se mujhe bachapan se hee pyaar hai. Isaka arth sukhad ya sundar hota hai. Saath hee, yah ek punjabi naam hai, hamaare apane raajy ka. Vah mere jaisee hogee, main bata sakata hoon.(Suhani? I have loved that name since childhood. It means pleasant or pretty. Also, this is a punjabi name, our own state's. She will be like me, I can tell.)" Prachi grew up to be like tuduram, headstrong and kind. Whereas Suhani was the naughty and sweet one. Both of the girls were my favourites and Meet loved them so much too. 3 years passed since our marriage and everything worked out perfectly. Meet was more soft hearted to me too which made our lives easier. On that night, II decided that it would be best if I told him who I am. It would be the best for our whole family. "Meet. Main tumhe kuchh bataana chaahata hoon. Ho sakata hai ki yah aapako mujh par gussa dilae aur aap mujhe ghar se nikaal bhee den.(Meet. I have to tell you something. It might get you furious at me and you might even kick me out of the house.)" Meet looked worried at first but then laughed. "Oh, pyari, mujhe yakeen hai ki yah itana bura nahin hai. Mujhe batao.(Oh come on dear, I am sure it is not that bad. Tell me.)" I took a deep breath and began. "Main Ashi Alawhat nahin hoon. Vaastav mein, main pooree tarah se alag vyakti hoon jisakee aapane kabhee kalpana bhee nahin kee hogee.(I am not Ashi Alawhat. In fact, I am a completely different person who you could have never imagined.) Meet still continued to laugh." Kya aap jaasoos hain? ya koee bhoot jo havelee chaahata hai.(Are you a spy? Or a ghost who wants the mansion)" Yah tuduraam bhee! I pushed him playfully as I shake my head. "Meet...Main tumhaaree patnee hoon Meet Hooda, jo us trak durghatana mein hathaudon se maara gaya tha.(Meet...I am your wife Meet Hooda who was killed in that truck accident by the hanskins.)" Meet did not take it seriously since he did not believe me. "You are joking right? If it is then I am not having fun." Meet looked serious and Meet Alawhat sat on his bed frustrated. "Mujhe pata hona chaahie tha. Lekin itana hee nahin. Aap meree samasyaon, aapakee eemaanadaaree, bahaaduree ke baare mein kaise jaanate the. Sab kuchh mel khaata hai.  Aap bilkul vaise hee dikhate hain. Lekin aapane mujhe dedh saal tak kyon pareshaan kiya? Tum mere saath aisa kaise kar sakate ho?(Meet, I should have known. You look exactly the same.But not only that. How you knew about my problems, your honesty, bravery. Everything matches up.But why did you make me suffer for 1 ½ years? How could you do this to me?)" I need to come with an answer. "Meet mujhe karana pada kyonki mere lie zinda rahana zarooree tha. Jis din main apanee vardee kee marammat ke lie ja raha tha, us din hathaude mujhe golee maar rahe the. Mujhe nahin pata tha ki yah tumhaare jeevan mein aur bhee bura hone vaala hai.( I had to because it was important for me to survive. The hanskins were shooting me the day I was going for my uniformś repair. I did not know it was going to be worse in your life.)" Meet began to get angry. "Aap nahin jaanate ki mujhe kitane daur se gujarana pada. Tera naam badabadaana, khoya hua mahasoos karana, khud ko duniya se band karana aur apane maata-pita ke khilaaph ho jaana. Aapako bas apanee paravaah hai.Kya aapako lagata hai ki yah sab majaak hai!(You do not know how much I had to go through. Muttering your name, feeling lost, closing myself from the world and turning against my parents. You just care about yourself.Do you think this all is a joke!)" I cannot believe he thinks it like that. "Vah saty nahin hai! Mujhe aapakee aur aapake parivaar kee paravaah hai kyonki aap log meree jindagee hain. Aap mere jeevan kee keemat se adhik mooly ke hain. Mujhe maaf kar den.(That is not true! I care about you and your family since you guys are my life. You are worth more than my lifeś cost. Please forgive me.)" Meet stopped me. "Jab tumane mujhe dhokha diya to main aisa kaise kar sakata hoon. Mainne aapake lie apana vishvaas punah praapt kar liya hai. Mainne socha ki ham apana parivaar hone ke baad aakhirakaar apana jeevan jee sakate hain. Lekin mujhase galatee huee thee.(How can I do such a thing when you betrayed me. I regained my trust for you. I thought I can finally live my life after we have our own family. But I was mistaken.)" Tears began to pour from my eyes since I was not able to take it in. "Meet yah meree galatee nahin hai(Meet, it is not my fault)" Suddenly a voice came from behind. "Beshak yah aapakee galatee hai!(Of course its your fault!)" Both Meet and I turned around to see Mummy and Papa standing at the doorfront. The rest of the family gathered there too. "Tum mere bete ko chot kaise sah sakate ho? Tum use marava sakate the. Sharm nahin aatee tumhen!(How could you bear to hurt my son? You could have made him die. Aren't you ashamed of yourself!)" Papa stopped Mummy from saying anything else. "Babita! Main bataata hoon. Beta tum kyon bhaage. Aapane ham sabhee ko dard mein chhod diya tha. Ise sveekaar nahin kiya ja sakata hai.(Babita! I will explain. Meet beta why did you escape. You had left us all in pain. This cannot be accepted.)" Meet continued to complete the sentence. "In fact,vah yahaan ek minute bhee nahin ruk sakatee.(In fact, she cannot stay here another minute.)" Meet pulled me and put my luggages behind the entrance. "Mere ghar se nikal jao aur kabhee vaapas mat aana!I hate you (Get out of my house and never come back! I hate you)" Papa yelled. "MEET!" Meet stopped Papa. "Nahin paapa! Mainne apana phaisala kar liya hai aur yah vaisa hee rahane vaala hai.(No Papa! I have made my decision and it is going to stay that way.)" I ran away tearfully as Meet  cried in his room miserably. Both Meet and I sign the papers of divorce as we become separated for life.

How's this selfishness of yours

That you pick neither sun nor the shade

How's this selfishness of yours

That your feet don't stay anywhere

How's this selfishness of yours

That you pick neither sun nor the shade

How's this selfishness of yours

That your feet don't stay anywhere

You tried being your own god

And crossed all seven seas

But still your heart is dry

Why is it so?

O kabira believe me

O saint believe me

Come your shadows are calling you back

O kabira believe me

O saint believe me

You're so ruthless and unfaithful

That broken cot

That cool breeze awaits you

That milk cream

That earthen pot awaits you

That broken cot

That cool breeze awaits you

That milk cream

That earthen pot awaits you

How's this selfishness of yours

Neither salt nor sugar fit on your tongue

How's this selfishness of yours

That you've forgotten old love

Hey carefree person

Hey happy person

You are a storm of wind

You are depressed within yourself

Why is it so?

O kabira believe me

O saint believe me

Come your shadows are calling you back

O kabira believe me

O saint believe me

You're so ruthless and unfaithful

Poor Meet! Now what will happen! Will Meet accept her back.
