Chapter 6

####PAST WILL BE IN ITALIC FONT AND PRESENT WILL BE IN NORMAL FONT####

*Ajay/Mr.Mehra Pov*

Mistress? No Jiya you were my wife, and you can't use such words again about us like never.

I rubbed my forehead thinking how can you even threaten me with such a stupid thing? I can't let you make that mistake not now and not in the future.

I wish I had walked away that day when I told you that we would postpone our marriage until your brother Sahil returns from the states.

Then all this wouldn't have happened at all, and you would have been fine.

"Don't do this to me, Ajay. I can't bear it." Her words, with the sobbing, made me stop in my tracks.

She can't cry like this and that too over me. She can't love me this much, and it is just an infatuation of hers.

If someone else shows the same care, I have shown her, she would move on from me, but she is crying, and that too over me.

I can't let her cry like this. This is all because of that stupid Sahil. He should be here and stopped the wedding, then I could have got the evidence I want to make him guilty, but that stupid fellow is lying somewhere in some country.

Doesn't he really know who am I? He should know about me completely. Didn't Durga say anything about me?

"Don't cry, Jiya." I said, walking towards her and knelt before her.

"Then don't leave me, Ajay. I will do anything you want, but don't leave all this." She pleaded with her eyes, and I slowly hugged her.

"I am not leaving you, Jiya. I am just postponing the wedding." I said, caressing her hair thinking how should I come out of this situation?

"You don't know my parents, Ajay. They already told everyone that I am getting married today and if this is postponed, then they will make me get married to someone else." She said and moved back making my frown to remove from my face.

Maybe she will be safe marrying some other person, but how will I get evidence if I lose the only last chance I have.

I can't let my Durga fail to get the justice. I sighed and said, "We will get married today."

She immediately smiled forgetting about all the tears and hugged me tightly. She continuously chanted 'I love you' to me, but I only wish she is not this sensitive and naïve.

"Ok! I have some work, and I will meet you at the temple like we planned." I said nodding and walked away.

Getting inside this stupid small car with which I have to act like a new business man of a new business, I called my lawyers.

"This should be between us, and the papers need to be ready before the evening and fax them." I said and hung up.

Then I called my Mom's brother and said, "Girish Uncle! There is a change in the plan. I am going to marry her."

"What? But you said you will not." I heard his shock tone.

"Yes! But now that Sahil is not coming today, but he will later, and I really need connection to him to make him guilty of the charges. I think this is the only way." I said rubbing my forehead.

"But will you let a criminal sister be your wife forever?" He asked, and I know I can't do that.

"No! This marriage will be in contract base, and I am already making my lawyers to draw them." I replied gripping the wheel because I really don't want to do this.

"Ok! If you know what you are doing." He said.

"I only want justice for her and nothing else." I said fuming and hung up.

"Jiya!" I called her walking towards the side of the temple where she is sitting.

"Ajay! You can't see me before the wedding. It is bad luck." She said covering her face with a veil.

"You need to sign these, Jiya." I said, placing the papers in front of her.

"What are these?" She asked, looking at me.

"It's a prenuptial agreement." I replied.

"Do we really need this?" She asked shocked.

"Yes! I hope you don't mind." I said really hoping she doesn't.

"Of course not! I will do anything for you." She said and signed them without looking at them.

I need to make her learn that she shouldn't do such things in later life when I am not in her life.

When she gave the papers, I sighed in relief because she just signed the one-year contract.

"I saw that you didn't sign them." She said.

"I will do it." I said, smiling and walked away.

One work done and now no one will have any problems. I sat at my place near the pious fire and waited for her.

Like we both thought the wedding was simple, and the guests were also simple and not a single person from the new franchise 'Ajay electronics', which will turn into 'Mehra corporations', when we find that it is good for it to be here in this town.

"You are my husband." She said smiling after we took the blessings of her parents and 'Mine'.

"And you are my wife." I said smiling back.

We married properly Jiya so you can't think like this. I still continued to rub my forehead thinking about all that.

Then I heard my phone ringing making me more irritated. I lifted it and barked "Hello!"

"Mr.Mehra! The paintings you bought are packed properly. Where shall we take them?" I heard a faint voice who must be a worker.

"I will give you an address. Send four of them there and one near my building here in Mumbai." I replied and hung up telling him the address.

"What a surprise Ajay." I heard Mom's surprising voice when I called her.

"Some four paintings will be delivered there in two days time." I said.

"How are you dear?" Mom asked sighing.

"I am fine, Mom. I hope Dad and you are also fine." I replied.

"We are and we would be more if you visit us in the middle." She said.

"I am really busy, Mom. I will talk to you later." I said hanging up.

"I can't be there, Mom. I need to take care of someone." I mumbled to myself when I got a glance of Jiya leaving her table to go to her home.

After she left I left my cabin and walked into the elevator to go to my flat. I walked outside it and opened the door to my home. No, it is not home, and it is just a living place.

I walked directly inside my room and freshened up. I walked towards the living room to see the empty space where I can place the painting which will be brought here tomorrow.

Isn't it ironic that they both have the love for these Amusements parks? But she said 'No' in that Gala. When did she learn to tell lies?

She is just like you Durga. She has a smile on her face during the whole day more than on the face of a child. She is emotional just like you and cries for silly things.

But I never thought she would be like this without any emotions to show and without any smile to give, and this is all because of me right?

Then why is she not saying anything to me. Not demanding why I have done all this. Why is she not asking me justice?

I wish you were here to scold me. No one can scold me unless it is you or her.

You are scolding me right now, right? I asked, looking at the sky.

I walked towards the dining table to drink some water and thought when will I able to have some dinner.

"This is the best dinner I ever had Ajay. Whenever I have my dinner from today onwards, this day will enter my mind." She said when we both got up.

That day I thought she was just being silly because who will remember this simple dinner. But now when I remember it every day that I can't have my own dinner from the past few months, I think I am the one that was silly that day.

When will I get out of my guilt? When will I forget all this? I want to forget all this, but why am I feeling for a fact that I may never forget any of these...
