Seperated to be together

She signed the papers one after another, without reading them...cursing everything that went wrong, she moved from page to page with a heavy heart and looked at each of the 7 pages blankly...she stared without uttering a word until she was done. She knew she signed it the last and the final time - Pragati Sahil Deshmukh.

It was 2years since she had married Sahil, an arranged marriage though, they both were attracted to each other at the first glimpse and it was a happy successful marriage on the 18th of January...until this disaster struck her.

Today, it had all come to an end, when Sahil barged into the kitchen and threw the Divorce papers on the dining table and walked out ordering her to sign them as soon as possible.

As she stood at the window and looked outside, tears rolled generously leaving her all devastated. Every moment she spent with him came to her as a movie playing in a flashback mode. She found herself lost, all alone in the middle of the sea...no one to hold on to...no one to tell what she felt like...just she and herself.

She silently dragged herself to the hall with an intension to question Sahil...but she seen him enjoying his PSP, totally unaffected by the trauma she was going through...she was more disturbed.

Wiping her tears with her shivering hands she entered the bedroom......oh! How much it represented her little life ...yet her heart was heavy and her eyes sore...Bedroom was the place where she spent the happiest moments of her life...but today that one room was divided into two...

She silently opened the door....And her heart went Thud! For a moment...

The entire bedroom was lit up with candles...and red roses all over the place..The bed had her favorite bed sheet...the room had the fragrance she loved all the time...And right @ the middle of the room was a small table decorated with a golden candle stand and two dinner plates lying in there...there was a note read with a bouquet that said "This love will never end"

She smiled without knowing what was really happening...and then a voice came singing from behind " Jab koi baat bigad jaye jab koi mushkil pad jaye....tum dena saath mera...oh humnawa...na koi hai...na koi tha...zindagi mein tumhare siwa...tum dena saath mera oh humnawa"

She ran into his arms as if there was no safer place to be at that moment...and they kissed...but she was all confused with the Divorce papers that he left on the table...she questioned him "But what were those papers all about?...I don't get you...what was that?"

He replied, “I knew you never questioned me...even if those orders were contradicting your life values...that’s y I put those papers on the table and left...do you want to know what those papers read?" She replied "of course"

He read" the first page is an agreement...that you'll be with me for the rest of my life as my one and only wife...for this page states I marry you once again...with all my love and all my heart....The next seven pages are the explanation of how much I love you by reliving those seven promises we made on our marriage day during the saath phere, every paper is a sign that we are married again with the bond of the seven promises to live together-forever
