Chapter 55

Part 55

Ayyappa means "GOD".

"Where am I ? And why is the world spinning? She asked as soon as we stepped inside our home.

"Oh Ayyiappa, so many brown-eyed monsters." She placed her palm on her mouth and widened her eyes.

"10, 10 brown-eyed monster, goshh Anya, means you have a 10 brown-eyed monster husband." I couldn't control myself listening to her rants and laughed out loudly for the first time genuinely.

"Wait, it's his cage, oh my God, oh my God, he caged me again," she staggered, and I caught her arm."This time I won't let you cage me." She slapped my cheek lightly and ran away to the kitchen.

Damn this girl, she had to change her dress because it was fully drenched in water.

"Sharanya, come to me," I shouted, calling her as I walked towards the kitchen. My eyes widened as I took a step back, seeing her with a knife in her hand."I'll kill you, Brown-Eyed Monster," I said, turning my heels and running, and she followed.

Who the hell gave her the bhang?

"I'll kill you," she said, and I held the cushion like a shield. "Anya move back okay? "Move back, don't come near me." I was getting scared of her..

"No no Brown Eyed Monster today I will kill you you are bad you are monster but you are so handsome also so tall and your eyes are so beautiful" she ranted like a baby making me grin so Madame found me hot and Handsome..

I want to kill you, but then I will also become a widow. Ayyiappa kitni saari problem hai (uff so many problems) " She slapped her forehead and sat on the floor sobbing.

She was behaving so adorably today. I walked towards her without making any sound, and she didn't even notice me as she was busy complaining to her Ayyiappa, looking up at the ceiling. I snatched the knife from her hand and threw it in the corner.

"Ayee, put me down," she squeaked as I picked her up. "No wifey, it's time to change your outfit, wifey, otherwise you will catch a cold," I said, taking her inside the room..

_______________________

She opened her eyes, then shut them tightly, then opened them again She clutched her head as it hurt so much; uh, wait, she was at the holi party, but where was she now?

Her eyes jerked open, and they widened as she realised she was back in his cage, wearing a different outfit.She tried to get off of the bed but couldn't because of the hammering ache in her head.

"Finally you are up." Her eyes shot up at hearing the voice. Her brown-eyed monster walked inside the room with a glass of lemonade.

"Are you okay? "You fine?" he asked and sat opposite to her on the bed. "I was in college, right? So, how did I find myself here?Did you cage me again? Tell me, did you kidnap me again? Neil, I promise if you try to cage me again then I will kill myself. "Her eyes started to get wet and at that moment he felt how scared she was from all this. She was literally in trauma.

"Sharanya, calm down, let me speak," he said softly, placing the glass of lemonade aside. "Neil, let me go home please. Your revenge is ended. Please don't play with me please."

"Sharanya, let me speak!" he shouted, making her flinch.. I didn't kidnap you... "You drank bhang in the college and were behaving very weirdly. You were high, so I took you here. Now calm down, have this lemonade, then I will drop you home," he said softly, trying to calm her down.

"Then who will change my outfit?" She asked. "I did because the outfit you were wearing was drenched in water," he answered, and her eyes widened.

"You changed my outfit? How dare you? " She shouted again and he let out a frustrated sigh and said in a duh tone, "Stop overreacting women, I've already seen everything before also," he said, smirking a little as a red hue crept on her cheeks..

"Shameless" says she grabbed the glass and drank the lemonade in one go. "Oh My God it's 6.pm." She was shocked to see the time. "Means I slept 5 hours."

"Oh my God, how am I going to respond to my maa now?"She was worried about the time.

"I called your maa on another number and told her that you are still in college preparing for the upcoming fest," he said, and she sighed in relief as her stomach growled in hunger.She just had breakfast.

Her expression was easily readable to him. "I know you are hungry and I already ordered pizza for us and it will be delivered in a few minutes, so go and wash your face, then we'll have it together."

"No, I am not hungry and I don't want to have anything. I just want to go home." She got off of the bed and went to the washroom to wash her face.

_____________________

"Wasting food isn't good Sharanya, have it then I'll drop you home, "he said as soon as he saw her walking out of the bedroom.

"Have it Sharanya I didn't mix poison in it. "She couldn't herself anymore and sat down savouring the taste of pizza..

the night before their divorce.

Midnight..

"Mr. Singh I don't want to divorce her! I want her to get back to me, "Neil said, staring at the lawyer who was getting scared of him.

"We have one way to stop this divorce." The lawyer said You both haven't completed one year of marriage and there is a rule in divorce that if a couple doesn't complete the 1 year of marriage and wants a divorce, first they have to stay for 6 more months. It's a valid law of the hindu marriage act. His smirk grew wider upon hearing the lawyer.

"Well done, Mr. Singh The lawyer got up from his seat and said "See you in the morning in the divorce office. Your reward is already in your bank account and yes, I want everything arranged privately. Just one mistake and the consequences won't be in your favour." He said as if threatening him and the lawyer got up from his seat. "I'll take care of everything." Neil nodded and he left.

_______________________

Neil's POV.

As my car came to a stop outside the divorce office, I stepped out, buttoning my blazer, only to see Sharanya standing there with Yashvi and Avin. Why was Avin there?I so hate that asshole. I promised I'd bury you alive if you tried to take a chance on her, Avin.

Taking a deep breath, I walked towards them. "Let's go inside then." I asked my eyes to scan Sharanya from head to toe. She was wearing a long white skirt with a black sleeveless top hugging her curves perfectly and a printed scarf wrapped around her neck, which was hiding her treasures.

"Sharanya, we are here, okay, you go," Yashvi said to her, and she nodded.

I walked away with her following me behind.

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Ahuja, sit," the lawyer said, and we nodded and sat opposite to him.

"So tell me why you both want a divorce." asked the lawyer. Is it true that Abeyy sala itna nautanki kyu kar raha hai?Saaf saaf bolde divorce isn't possible. Toh paisa toh mil gaya tujhe.(You asshole, why are you doing so much drama? Say it clearly that divorce isn't possible because you've already got the money.)

"Well, it's a mutual decision," I said, and my eyes stopped at Sharanya. She was getting nervous. My poor baby.

"Mrs. Ahuja, why do you want a divorce from him?" The lawyer asked my wifey. Iska sarr phod dena hai, Abeyy!!(I so wanted to break his head)

"He's already said that it's a mutual decision; we don't want to live with each other,"she said Oh, wifey, I only wanted to live with you, my kitten.

Well, you both haven't completed 1 year of marriage and you both don't even have a valid reason to get a divorce, so as per the Hindu marriage act, you both have to stay together for 6 months more. Then I will ask you about your decision again and then we'll proceed further. The lawyer said, staring at us.

"It's wrong she doesn't want to live with me and I don't want to force her please do something we want divorce" I said trying to act all Innocent and I knew I succeeded"I am ready to pay you as much amount as you want just let us divorce" I further added.

"Not possible "Mr. Ahuja's law is law for everyone. You both have to stay together for 6 months." The lawyer said, while I was trying hard to control my smirk. "Now you both can leave." I got, so as Shara, nya and we walk. out..

"Sharanya," I called her, my palms cupped her cheeks, "I am sorry, okay? I am very sorry but this is the law and we have to follow it. It's not in my hands. I can't even do anything. "I said softly, staring at her. It's been more than 12 days since I didn't get a chance to taste her lips.

"You will cage me again?" She didn't stutter, but still I knew she was scared. I could feel it by hearing a tone.

This time I will make you my Queen, Mrs. Sharanya Neil Ahuja.

I won't. It's your life and I won't go poke my nose in it. You can do anything you want, "I won't." I said, softly staring into her eyes. Sorry, wifey, I couldn't resist poking my nose into your business.

"Now go to college and handle the preparations for the fest and the decision is all yours if you want to come back to our home or not," I said and pulled my hand back. "It's your house, not ours," she corrected. Baby, you are the queen of my home. "It was ours, and it always will be," I added, and she sighed.

"Maa I have to go back to him because the divorce isn't possible now. I have to stay with him for 6 months, "I said softly to Maa. I knew she was angry at me because I raised my voice on her earlier and also pissed her off.. but it wasn't really my mistake, okay? I was getting angry because of the marriage thing with Avin..

"Brinda maa she has to go back because it's a law." Yashvi said to her. "Maa, I am sorry. I know I shouted at you, but you know right how much I love you?" I said, hugging her tight. "Sorry maa, I promise I won't shout at you again." I further added and kissed her cheeks.

"I am not angry with you baccha I can never be and yes you can go, it's your life. I won't stop you. "Maa said and kissed my forehead.

"Yashvi dii, you have to take care of maa," I said, turning towards her. "Of course, little baby, she is also my maa," she replied, making me smile.

Neil's POV.

"Why are you so happy today?" Maa asked, smiling. "Sorry maa, I couldn't share this news with you because I didn't want you to get tense."

"Nothing maa," I replied, feeding her the cake I had baked today."Maa, your dinner is in the kitchen. I'll come after sometime to heat it as you are hungry now," saying I get off of the sofa.

"Neil, why don't you live with Piyansh and me here in this house?" She asked, taking me off guard. "Maa, I think you forgot, I already said it earlier. I have a few staff who worked with me and stayed with me in my apartment, and I don't want you to get disturbed there. That's why I just live 5 floors above from this one. I am in this building only."

I cupped her cheeks and said, "I am sending Rohan now and I will come to meet you after sometime. We'll have our dinner together. Now you rest okay and don't think much." I pecked her on the brow, and she smiled.

__________________________

I went to the apartment, which would be changed into a home after some time because she would be there with me. I made her favourite south Indian dish, bought 20 bars of chocolate, a few tubs of ice cream, and not to forget chips cookies, baked her favourite cupcakes, and waited for her to arrive.

I sat on the couch and stared at the time on the phone. It was already 9:30pm. I was about to dial a number. Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. I jumped on my feet and ran to open the door.

My Queen is here to stay with me.
