“Divya, you should do it properly. There are lots of mistakes” Abhimaan said with a soft tone, checking the file Divya was working on.

“I'll do it again, Sir” She replied, looking down and extending her hands to take the file back.

“Divya” Divya was leaving when Abhimaan called her and she turned towards him with a smile on her lips.

“Yes Sir”

Abbimaan stood in front of her with scrunching brows. “Divya, right now I'm asking you as a brother, are you happy?”

“Yes bhai. Why not?”

“You are off Divya. We all can see it and feel it” Abhimaan palmed her cheeks and she fought back her tears with a sweet smile, and gulped the hurt.

“I'm okay bhaiya.”

“No Divya you're definitely not okay. After coming back from that house you're not even sitting and talking with us properly”

“I'll be okay in some days. Just give me some time. Also I'm trying to be a good intern here”

“The office is yours as much as it's ours. I asked you to work under my supervision. But you said that you wanted to join as a mere intern”

“I don't want people to call me taking advantage of my brother and father in my career bhaiya. Also it'll help me to gain some experience”

Divya and Abhimaan were talking when a knock appeared, he looked at the door and found his PA.

“Yes”

“Sir, the CEO of Rajvansh enterprise has arrived for the meeting” Abhimaan looked back at Divya, and found she was looking at him with a questioning gaze.

“Please ask them to come” He told Priya and she left.

“We are doing a partnership with Mayank's company, for the Germany client.” Abhimaan informed.

Divya nodded her head and was going to leave the cabin when Mayank was entering the cabin, behind him there was Raunak.

Their eyes met for a moment but she averted her gaze and tucked her hair behind her ear, before smiling at Mayank.

It's been more than one month since Raunak had seen her. She has lost some weight, he could tell. Her face was not glowing like it used to before. And her eyes were gloomy as if she didn't sleep for a while.

“Divya” Mayank called for her but she was already out of the cabin towards her cubicle.

“Divya here” Mayank asked, entering inside and sitting on the couch, Abhimaan led them.

“She has joined the office as an intern” Abhimaan informed and looked at Raunak with his scrutinising gaze.

Raunak felt self conscious and corrected his coat. Before looking at his direction and smiled. Abhimaan just nodded his head and started talking with Mayank regarding the project.

All the while Raunak was just trying to find a way to escape from there and see Divya.

He was lost in his thoughts when Abhimaan's phone screen lit up, popping up a message. He looked down at his phone which was kept on the centre table and found the message was from Divya.

“Bhaiya…  I'm leaving. Not feeling well. Bye”

His heart started beating fastly at the thought of seeing her once more before she left.

Abhimaan took his phone from the table and replied back with an okay. Then again started discussing with Mayank.

“Bhai.. I am leaving.” Raunak said, getting up from the couch.

“What? Where are you going?” Mayank asked confusingly and Raunak looked between Abhimaan and Mayank, he cleared his throat and said “I'm not feeling well… .  We should meet in the office” Saying Raunak literally ran from there. And both the elder brothers smiled at their attempt to pull their sister and brother close again.

“He has seen the message” Mayank shook his head with a smile and Abhimaan laughed out.

“He definitely did”

“Thank you Abhimaan” Mayank held Abhimaan's hands and he shook his head.

“She's been at the same state for the whole month”

“He is uncontrollable at home” Mayank paused for a moment before continuing. “Me and Trisha were trying our best to make him understand that what my Mom and Dad had told was all lies. He started believing us too but whenever those videos flashed in front of his eyes and mind, he couldn't control anymore.”

“I can understand. Maybe if I were at his place, I would react the same.”

“But he needs to understand why Mimmi Diti would lie to him. They're there for him after his mother's death. Their love is bigger than the truths and lies.”

“We're trying hard to find the person who leaked those CCTV footage of my family back then. Dad said that he kept all that footage proof here in our office after Choti maa and choti papa left for New York, as they thought they're dead. We talked with the security guard who's appointed that time at Sharvari Rajvansh house but he was too scared to say anything.”

Mayank patted his back and said “it's okay.”

Raunak took the stairs not waiting for the lift. And ran towards the exit area.

There he found Divya was calling someone frustratingly and rubbing her forehead.

He also noticed she had cut down the length of her hair. It was below her butt back then but now it's reaching her middle of the back.

He gulped and looked aside for a moment and when he gazed back at her, he found she was kicking the car wheel.

He understood that the problem was with the car. So he went straight to his car and  started the engine.

While Divya went to the bus stop near the office. Waiting for the bus. As the driver has gone to his home for lunch.

He stood in front of her with the car and pressed the honk.

“What is this behaviour you mister?” Divya said irritatingly. And then looked at the person sitting inside the driver seat.

Their eyes met again, and this time too Divya averted her gaze and started walking ahead at the road.

“Divya” Raunak called her from the car but she ignored and went ahead. Raunak started his car, following her behind.

“Divya listen to me Divya” He got down from the car and held her wrists, stopping her.

“What?” Her eyes were filled with unshed tears.

“Let me drop you to your home” he said and she shook her head. She tried to get off from his hold. But he tightened his hold and pulled her close.

“Raunak what are you doing?”

“How are you Divya?” He asked and she smiled, obviously a fake one.

“Leave me Raunak”

“How are you? Why did you cut down his hair?”

“That obviously not your business to mind Mr. Raunak Rajvansh” She pushed him and he hold her arms.

“Of Course it's my business to mind. Because you're my wife for God sake” He screamed and Divya laughed dryly.

“Yes…  wife. Huhh.. Wife. Do you know the meaning of wife?” She asked, removing his hand from her arms.

“Divya”

“You're a coward. A real coward Raunak. I hate you. I hate you” She started taking back steps and wiped her tears harshly.

She stumbled on the rock and fell down, twisting her feet.

“Ahhh”

“Divya” Raunak ran to her and looked at her swollen feet.

“It got strained”

“Leave me. I can manage on my own”

Ignoring her, he picked her up in his arms and made her sit on the passenger seat.

“Raunak.. Please don't bother yourself. I can manage on my own”

Raunak put their seatbelts and held her right hand.

“Let me do this only please” He said with a pleading tone and Divya looked aside through the window.

“You didn't tell why did you cut down your hairs?”

“Because I don't want to keep anything that someone else loves about me. I want to make myself different like the way I wish”

Something broke inside his heart but he smiled painfully, looking at her.

“You cut it down because I loved it”

“If you think that way…  then think”

Actually she cut down her hair to support Ishani mentally, after her haircut. But anyway she won't tell him this.

“You don't have to change yourself for anyone else”

“I want to change myself for my good”

“I miss you Divya”

“Please don't. Because I didn't miss you”

“You really didn't?” He asked looking at her, then concentrated on the road, when Divya refused to look his way.

“Yes”

He nodded his head.

As a car came in front of them Raunak pressed the brake and extended his left arm, to protect Divya.

“My goodness” She said, gasping at the sudden brake.

“Are you okay?” He asked and Divya took deep breaths before nodding her head. She corrected her hair. When Raunak restarted the car some bottles fell down from the glove box.

She picked those bottles and then looked at him.

“Since when did you start this?”

“Since the day you left me”

“Raunak”

“At Least they didn't leave me on my bad” He said with a sad smile and Divya felt bad.

“I didn't leave you. You didn't ask me to come”

“Still the same"

“This is definitely not the same thing, Raunak. I wanted to live with you, that's why I went there after you said that you  married me to take revenge from my family. I waited and waited for you but you never did come to me” She wiped her tears and looked from the window, realising they had arrived at her home.

“My father said that he will send the divorce papers soon to you. Please sign them and free me from this fake marriage.” saying she got down from the car and closed the gate forcefully.

A lone tear rolled down from Raunak's eyes hearing about divorce. It's hurting him like hell. At first he wanted to divorce her but when the word came out from her side. It's like she indirectly pierced his heart.

~♥~

Divya took deep breaths before entering inside and found everyone sitting there, pampering Rehana, With food.

“You should try this Di, maa made this,” Ishani said, feeding a forkful of lasagna inside Rehana's mouth, who moaned while chewing the dish.

“It's so tasty choti maa”

“What is happening without me huh?” Divya made a cute pout to gain everyone's attention and sat beside Rehana.

“She was craving for some spicy food,” Heer said and fed her one bite of lasagna. “Umm…  choti maa it's delicious” Divya said, kissing Heer's  hand and she slapped her shoulder.

“Badmash…  let her eat, you all stay aside now” Samaira pulled her daughter's ears and Divya whined.

“Chachi…  let her eat also” Rehana said, taking Divya's side who winked and grabbed the plate from Rehana.

“See.. See.. How she snatched the whole plate” Samaira said in disbelief at her daughter's behaviour, who showed her tongue and started gulping down the dish. She was feeling overwhelmed after the conversation with Raunak. Her heart was aching, knowing he started drinking alcohol to keep himself sane.

Tears made their ways from her eyes and she started coughing.

“Oh my god Divya” Heer gasped and made her drink the water from the glass. “Samaira you should stop scolding her all the time”

“Heer bhabi…  it was her mistake that she was eating like a hungry bull…  I didn't do anything” Samaira said and patted Divya's back as she took breaths after drinking the water.

“Divi.. You go and take some rest. You must be tired” Rehana said, noticing her tired eyes and face. She nodded her head and left for her room..

“May I come in?” All the ladies turned towards the source and found Raunak was standing there.

“Ron” Heer chirped with happiness and approached him. While Samaira stood there rooted in her place.
