Sahil's POV
" I am sorry for whatever I said and did. I was such a jerk, I left you alone to handle the situation at your end. I even went on dates with other girls. I know that a mere sorry is not enough, but Please forgive me. " I caught her hand and pulled towards me.
" Listen It is ok... As it is, we were not meant to be together. I have signed the papers, you also sign them, I want a divorce." she pulled herself away from me and glared at me.
" No, I am not going to sign those papers. In fact, I already destroyed them. So we are still very much married. " I smiled and winked at her.
" Why are you doing it?? "
" I want another chance with you?? "
" Why?? I am brainless, spineless, good for nothing and a burden on everyone. Right?? Then why do you want to be tied up with such a girl? "
" Maybe I started liking that feeling of being settled down. "
" So?? You have so many options... The one we shared dinner with and many more. I heard that you have dated more than 200 girls. Select one of them and get settled. "
" No, I am not interested in any of them. You see, I am already married."
" You were married even at that time when you were going to... With that girl. "
" I am ashamed of that. I wanted to find you and take divorce. I felt guilty that day. I am sorry that would never happen again. "
" Please go and get settled with her, you are free now from my side. "
" I just want to get settled with my one and only lawfully wedded wife. Did you get me Mrs Manyata Sahil Malhotra? " I smiled at her.
" Forget it... I will never give you another chance. "
" Never say never, baby... "
" Don't waste your charm on me, It doesn't work on me. "
There was a knock on the door. I turned to see her bhabhi standing there on the door.
" Sorry to disturb you, but let's have some dinner. "
" Thanks a lot, bhabhi, but I just came here to apologise for everything I did or said and tell her that I destroyed the papers and so we are still very much married."
" Please join us, as it is dinner time. I can't let you go without having dinner."
" I don't want to add inconvenience to you. Vikram won't appreciate my presence. "
" No Sahil Ji, this is my home as well and I am inviting you to have dinner with us. Please stay. "
" Well, I can't refuse, If you are insisting so much. "
" Yes, I insist," she said and asked us to come soon.
Vikram was already sitting on the dining table.
He glared at me.
" Come with me Sahil, I need to talk to you. " He said and we both went to his study.
" Listen Sahil, I don't need to remind you that I know you too well. I know how you had been with girls since our school days. I don't trust you with my sister. "
" I know that you know me since childhood. I know you know everything, I am not very proud of all that. I can't change all that Vikram as that is our past. But I want to change in present to change the future. "
" Why have you come back?? She has already signed the papers. She has set you free of that unwanted forced marriage. Why do u want a second chance?? "
" Because I think, I have fallen for your sister. You know how was Sagar. I thought he suffered as he was in love. So I was scared of real commitment. I didn't want marriage but my dad said one of us has to marry. As he was in love with Damini, I said yes. I am sorry Vikram, I got selfish and thought about my brother and his life. It got ruined because of me. Do you know? Damini saw me with another girl and thought that it was him as I said so as I was caught in a situation. "
" I want to punch you for that too. "
" I know, I felt so ashamed of my self. And after we got married. I felt that I was trapped in a situation... I hated that I was forced to marry and was guilty, that I was married and yet I didn't want her in my life. So I got desperate and sent the papers to her, but when she lived in our home as my sister's friend, I got to know her and started getting drawn towards her. I swear to god, I tried my level best not to get attracted to her personality but I was as much drawn to her as a moth is, towards a flame.
I again felt very guilty that I was married. I can't explain that tussle between my mind and my heart. I didn't want to fall in love, but I am falling in love with her. Please trust me. I need another chance with her. "
" What about the long list of those girls you dated? "
" Not interested in any other girl. I don't even want to look at another girl. I go mad if any guy looks at her or try to flirt. I haven't said this to anyone but I think I am going crazy about her. Trust me please."
