Chapter 64


"Kaeya…" Anthonia sighed as they hugged and disengaged before sitting down.

"Where have you been Rosh?... you look…different. You sounded worried over the phone. What's wrong?" Kaeya queried and Anthonia forced out a smile.

"Let's order first….."

"Oh right…"

"Waiter…"

"So I gave him the divorce papers and things has been off since then." Anthonia sighed and Kaeya could barely hide her shock.

"You what!? Oh goodness Anthonia! Why on earth did you do that?" Kaeya snapped.

"You wouldn't blame me okay? I don't love him and he doesn't. I can never feel that way towards him." Anthonia groaned.

Kaeya only shook her head.
"Quit deceiving yourself Anthonia. Deep down that heart, you do actually have a spot for Aditi….oh com'on, the two are married…."

"By force…" Anthonia cut in.

"Stop being childish Anthonia. Marriage is not a silly game you could just get out of one day. Imagine the damage that the divorce would cause. No one would believe he hasn't touched you. No one wants to marry a divorced woman. Think Anthonia!.... goodness." Kaeya exclaimed and sipped from her coffee.

Anthoniaran her fingers through her hair and sighed.

They had parted later and Anthoniacould feel her subconscious laughing jestingly at her.

Did she really make a mistake?

She sighed leaning back on the seat of the jeep as it drove through the streets.

She only wanted to be happy…. to be free from that marriage..but somehow,she didn't want any of it again.

Anthoniagot into the room after clearing the dishes that was used for dinner.

She met Aditi seated on the couch operating on his laptop but the sight of the divorce paper file before him made her heart drop to her stomach.

Had he signed it already?

She sighed heading for the bathroom.

"You can come get your file when you are ready." Aditi finally spoke up and she stopped dead on her tracks instantly and turned to face his direction.
He placed the laptop aside and got off the couch picking up the file then took slow strides to where Anthoniastood with her heart racing rapidly.

Her stretched forth the file as she glanced at it.

"Take it…." Aditi said more like an order and Anthoniahated the fact that he was having dominion over her at the moment.

She reluctantly took it from him.

"You needed a divorce right…" He scoffed.

Of course..she needed it….she always dreamt of it…. but then…..

Aditi didn't move an inch and she opened the file.
To her utmost surprise,he didn't sign any of the papers.

Anthonialooked up at him in shock.

"You want a divorce Anthoniabut I don't…." Aditi said with a deep frown and she felt her heart flutter.

His eyes searched hers deeply as he closed the little distance between them and she gulped.

"Why Anthonia?" He muttered.

"Tell me why you want a divorce? For so long….I have been at my very best. I didn't want this union a lot more than you from the start for so many reasons but…I had to give in. I practically stopped visiting clubs….I stopped having night stands…I cut out so many things just to be faithful… things I never imagined stopping for any reason whatsoever, I stopped…for this…. between us…" Aditi said and Anthoniacould barely believe her ear.

"You want a divorce Anthonia…but I don't…" He deadpanned.

She was mute, her heart ached and so many thoughts ran through her mind.

"Just let me be Aditi.." she whispered.

"I don't want to love you…"

"But I love you!" He snapped and she flinched.

"You have done so many things to me Anthonia… No matter how hard I try…you are always occupying my mind. You have affected me so much Anthonia…I definitely can't let you go." Aditi confessed and the tears that had built up in my Anthonia's eyes spilled.

"Who has fled you with those thoughts Anthonia? I would never do that to you,I promise. I wouldn't even touch you unless you agree wholly. Please Anthonia, don't make me sign the damn paper." Aditi sighed and hugged her tightly.

"I love you so much Anthonia…" He groaned.

She couldn't believe Aditi was confessing his love for her.

He actually did love her!
He did!

She hugged him back in response as she wept.
She had always loved him but was so blind to see it.
She tried to kill it with hatred but who was she kiddin'?
They've loved each other all along even before and during the honeymoon.

"I am not…going to go through with the divorce anymore Aditi. I'm sorry for hurting you…." Anthoniamuttered and he broke the hug cupping her face.

"Really?" He asked and she nodded smiling.

He embraced her as his heart swelled with nothing but love at that moment.

Anthoniacould barely digest everything that had happened that hour.

Sbe had really come to accept the fact that…she …. loved him.

They disengaged and Aditi took the file from her hand before tearing it as she watched and he dropped it on the floor.

"We wouldn't be needing that anymore." He grinned and she chuckled.

"Should we inform the family?" Aditi asked taking hold of her hand as they headed to sit on the bed.

"No…I don't think that's necessary." Anthoniacut in bitting inside of her cheeks.

She was nervous…really.

Aditi stared at her smiling.

"They would have to know soon yunno." He shrugged and pulled her close to him as his arms wrapped around her waist and she leaned her head on his shoulder.

They were silent ….so many thoughts going through their minds.

It was a new beginning right?...

Morning…

As the women got ready to leave, Aditi alighted the stairs dressed up.
Aniket looked up from his newspaper as they noticed his presence.

"Where to Aditi?" Aunt Indu asked curious.
It was Sunday and he didn't have to go to work.

He smiled heading to where the ladies stood and Anthoniatried to avoid his gaze.

"Well…let's say I would love to accompany my wife to the temple." He shrugged and the other women eyes grew wide as they palmed their mouth dramatically.

Everyone glanced between Aditi and Anthoniawho stared at each other and the smile on Anthonia's face was too bright.

"That's…. weird." Janvi muttered and Diya only watched.
