Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 45

Manyata's POV

I reached at the address bhabhi sent me. I called bhabhi she said that they were on their way.  She asked me to go inside as they had already booked a table.

I went inside and the manager came towards me I told him that we had a reservation and he nodded politely and led me to my table. I thanked him and sat down.

I had not even taken a single breath when I was shocked to see satan standing there in front of me in his full glory. He was smiling like anything.

" Good evening beautiful... " he sat very near to me and said with sparkling eyes.

" What are you doing here?? " I said in low voice.

" This is a restaurant honey, I came to have food with my wife," he said looking into my eyes.

" What?? No, I came here with Bhai sa and bhabhi.. they are coming. Please you can go and have dinner somewhere else. "

" No beautiful, I am also invited by your Bhai sa. "

" What?? Why?? I am going to call him. "

" He thinks that we should try to sort out the differences between us. " he winked at me.

" Ok, then I am going... " I started getting up but he held my hand.

" You can't... What will your brother think?? Are you scared of me?? At least have dinner... I am not going to harm you.  " said in a low voice.

" Why would I be scared of you?? I just don't want to see your face or share a space with you. "

" Well you don't have a choice honey, we are bound together."

He said and asked me to sit. I sat down because I could not create a scene here.

" Ughhh... What do you want?"

" You... "

" What?? "

" You give me another chance."

" No... I don't want any association with you... "

" But you are already associated with me. We are married honey. Let's forget everything and start afresh. "

"  Forget everything?? Start afresh??  It is easier for you to say that... "

" Ok, then make it difficult for me. " He said with a smile.

" What do you mean? "

" I mean that you think it is easier for me to say and do that... Right? " I nodded.

" Then make it difficult...I will pass all your tests. I realised my mistake... I should not have done or said all that but now, I know that I want you in my life. I want you as my wife. I am not going to divorce you ever.  "

" But why?? You were literally dying to get divorced earlier... What has changed now?? "

" I have changed... That day dad was telling Sagar about marriage and the responsibilities which he was supposed to take seriously. Then those marriage vows... I learnt the meaning of those too. We are married Manyata and I know that I  ruined everything but I want another chance to make everything right again. I will rectify all of my mistakes. "

" But I don't want it... I was also forced to marry you.  I thought that I would do my level best to make it work. But I don't trust you... You called me names, you didn't even bother to look at me as if I was a trash bin. You sent me that letter which was more poisoning then poison itself. You went out on dates while you were still married. You want another chance? Why should I ?? Do you think I am mad??  " I said with a firm sarcastic smile.

" No, I think you are beautiful... I am mad who didn't even look at my bride even while applying vermilion on your head. I am mad that I sent that letter. But sent it as I wanted you to get angry and divorce me immediately... But now I have realised that marriage is not a game. It is a bond not just between two people but between two families. "

" Oh great... I am impressed that you learnt that. But it is too late now. I signed the papers sent by you only. "

" Ok I agree that I sent them, you signed them but I did not, I destroyed them. So they don't exist now. We are very much married. So whether you want it or not, but we are married.  "

" So what?? I will file the divorce papers this time. "

" Ok, I can't stop you from doing it, but I would not sign them. Do whatever you want, I will not sign. "

" But you said that you didn't want me in your life. I can do whatever I want in my life just should not bother you as it doesn't matter to you. "

" I said that but I have changed... Now I want you in my life... Every single thing that is related to you matters to me. You are my wife so it is my responsibility to take care of you. "

" You don't need to... I don't know what you think or want but  I can take care of myself. I am quite capable of that. "

"  I take all my old words back... I am sure you can take care of yourself and everyone around you, but still, you are my wife. I will take care of you. You can't stop me from taking care of you. "

" I am not your's and I am not some commodity. I am a human being, so you may consider yourself as my husband but for me, you are just a family friend. "

" Ok fine... So my beautiful wife, let's order something till Vikram and Sandhya comes. "

He asked me what would I like to eat, but I didn't reply.  So he ordered the snacks.

The ordered was served and we started eating. Though I didn't want to eat I needed to keep myself busy because he was making me nervous.
