Sitting near the open window of his study, Veer was staring at the dark starry night with lots of things going on inside his head.
He puff out the smoke from his slightly parted lips. He is not a smoker but to calm the emotional storm inside him, he unwilling resort to smoking.
"Veer, you are again smoking? You know very well I hate smoking and the one who smokes," He heard the soothing voice of his wife and smile slightly. Her voice is enough to calm him.
He smacks the cigarette on the ashtray while mentally shaking his head feeling frustrated with himself.
He sat on the recliner near the open window and close his eyes feeling the cool breeze on his face.

Around 11 pm, Preet entered in her room with tired dull face. She look around for Veer and sighs not finding him there.
She sat in front of the dressing table and started removing the jewelry looking at her reflection with dead eyes. Suddenly she stop and look at her face as if searching something.
She close her eyes and take a deep breath feeling got tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry, please." she whispered to herself still closing her eyes.
She startle when the door opens with a click sound. She saw Veer step inside while rubbing his forehead. He look tired and drained.
Suddenly their eyes met each others in the mirror stopping him in his track for a second. But he quickly avert his eyes and went inside the closet.
Preet keep looking at the entrance of the closet after he disappears inside it.
"Veer," Preet called him as he was about lay down to sleep. He turn to her and see her standing near the window wearing the saree, she was wearing for her friend's engagement.
"There is something I wanted to talk about," she said looking at his face but he keep his face neutral and nodded.
"Say," he said
Preet look at his cold blank eyes and soon her own eyes tear up.
"Are you really wanted to do this?" she asked him. She was trying to keep her voice strong but failed badly as her voice breaks in between.
"I am not getting your words. Say clearly," Veer said but unknowingly his heart clenched at the sight of her glossy eyes.
Preet look down for a second feeling her emotions taking over her sense.
"You...divo" she closed her eyes tightly feeling pain while uttering those words.
"You really want divorce," she whispered and slowly look up at him to see him stiff in his place. He look at her with shock clearly visible in his face.
But he quickly comes out of this shock and again maintains his blank face.
He clear his throat and look away from her face as she was looking at him like a child with a red nose and teary eyes. He can't look at her innocent face while breaking her heart. He knows her feeling for him. Anyone can tell just by looking at her shining eyes.
"It is for our best, Preet," he said. His hand formed a tight fist when he heard a small sniff.
"I am sorry," as he said that, he heard a painful chuckle from her. Veer look at her to see her smiling painfully while looking at him.
"Sorry? For what, Veer? Huh," she asked while slowly walking toward him.
"Why are you sorry? I should be sorry for coming into life, forcefully....for being your unwanted wife and destroying your peaceful life, right?" She said standing in front of him while tears were flowing from her eyes like a river.
Veer look at her face and felt pain seeing her in this condition.
"You are not in your sense, Preet. You should rest,"
Preet chuckle with tears and shook her head.
"You are right I lost my mind. You made me crazy," she cried out holding his t-shirt neckline in a fist.
"I will go from your life forever but just tell me one thing," looking into his eyes innocently she asked.
"Where I lack as a wife? Am I not beautiful enough in your eyes? Or that Ruhi is more beautiful than me?" she asked as her eyes begging him for answers.
"What are you even saying? Stop talking nonsense, Preet" he said getting angry at her for blaming herself.
"Just tell me!" she shout at him shooking him when he didn't say anything just keep looking at her.
"You love that Ruhi? So she was right all the time," suddenly she asked him making him angry as she was babbling whatever coming into her mind.
"You lost your mind, Preet,"
"Yes, I am.... because of you. You made my life a joke. You wanted to marry me so marry me and now you want divorce. Where I stand in this relationship. What about me? And what I want? It's all about what you want. You just wanted to fulfill your selfishness. And why not after all you are a Rajvansh. You deserve their ignorance. Just like I am unwanted in your life, you are unwanted in your family. You deserve their coldness, Mr. Rajvansh. Maybe that's why your parent left you alone in this world because you don't deserve their love!!"
"SHUT UPP!!" Preet stop when he suddenly shout at her. Preet step back in fear seeing his angry dark eyes.
And she realised, she crossed the line by bring his dead parent in between. She shouldn't do that. But she did, and hurt him saying such hurtful words to him.
"Don't you dare to talk about my parent! And stay in your limit, Preet Sharma," he warned her in hard voice making Preet body shivers in fear. She never saw him angry but now seeing him this much furious as he was literally shaking to control himself from bursting his anger at her.
"Yes, I want divorce. Because I don't want to stay with you. I hope you get your answer now," Saying he left the room angrily leaving behind a heartbroken Preet.
Preet look at the door from where he left with tears kept flowing from her puffy red eyes but no sound comes out of her mouth.
That's it. Everything is over. Their relationship, their marriage is over.
He doesn't want to stay with her. He doesn't want her. Now he will hate her.
Veer enter into the room early in the morning to get ready for the office. But he didn't find Preet in the room. He got worried finding the room silent and as it is as he left last night. He walk toward the balcony seeing the doors open.
There she was sleeping while sitting on the chair as she is hugging her knees to her chest. He sigh and slowly walk near her. She is still wearing a saree from last night but her hair ties in a loose bun.
He look at her face and notice her face puffy and pale. She was trembling slightly with goosebumps all over her arms due to the cold weather.
As he was about touch her arms she slowly open her eyes feeling the presence. As her eyes fell on him, she stood up in a hurry almost stumbling on her feet.
"Careful!" he exclaim and about to hold but she step back from him.
They stay silent for a minute before Preet look at him and said, "I didn't meant to say those words last words. I am really sorry for that,"
"You don't have to,"
"No, I should know my place in your life. I am sorry," saying she turned to go inside the room when Veer said,
"You will get the divorce paper today for signing them. We are not happy in this relationship, Preet. Moreover, you don't deserve all this. It better for you to leave me and live your life happily. You will find someone who will loves your and give your every happiness that I couldn't and will never be able to give you," hearing his words her tears again started flowing down.
"Hmm," she just hummed and without turning to him, she went inside while crying silently.
Veer look at Preet's car leaving from the main gate from their room's window.
For a moment he felt bad for snapping at her last night in his anger but then he thought it is good for her. She shouldn't get emotionally attached to him. In the end, they are not meant for each other. He didn't deserve such an innocent and kind soul in his life.
