Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 37

Sahil's POV

It was morning, but I was feeling as if there was no light around. Sagar and Damini had gone for their honeymoon.

They were about to cancel their trip but I did not let them. I couldn't do that to them. They should not suffer for my deeds again.

Even Damini said that they should stay here with me but I personally put their bags in the car. They got their share of happiness. I could not ruin it because of my stupidity.

Everyone was gloomy except mom, as she didn't know anything till now, while Swati knew everything now. She was really upset and was not even talking to me. Dad looked totally disappointed.

I got ready and was going to the office as my mom stopped me.

" Sahil kahan ja raha hai itni jaldi?? Nashta to ker ke ja. ( Sahil where are you going so early in the morning?? Atleast have breakfast. " Mom said.

" No mom, I am not hungry. "

" Why?? Listen beta, I made Gobhi parantha and halwa for you. " She said and I felt bad for her. She cooked with so much love. I nodded and sat down to have breakfast but I could not eat. I just ate a parantha to satisfy my mom and got up to go

" What happened?? Is it not good? "

" It is very good mom, I am not hungry. "

" Are you not well? " She touched my face and neck.

" I am fine mom... Don't worry. I have to go to the office. Sagar and Damini are also not there. Bye."

I went away after kissing her head.

I reached office before time and tried to concentrate on work. I didn't want to think about what happened. So I immersed my self in work.

Samar came to the office. And came to meet me directly.

" What is all this?? " he asked.

So he came to know about her...

" What ?? "

" Why did you come here so early without having food? " he asked again.

What??? Oh, God !! He could only think about food.

" Because I have work and I am not hungry. "

" What is wrong with you Sahil?? "

" Nothing is wrong with me. I am just trying to work when Sagar and Damini are not here. "

" But aunty was so worried about you.  I saw her tensed that you are not well. "

" I am fine Samar. Just leave me alone. "

" You can't possibly think that I will leave you in this kind of mood. Ok, let's go to the club in the evening. "

" You go ahead, I don't want to go anywhere. "

" Don't behave like Sagar now, Let's have some fun yaar. You are Sahil. Right?? "

" Samar, please leave me alone. I have a lot of work. "

" But I am getting bored, if you don't want to go to the club then we all can go for a movie or go out for dinner. "

" Sagar and Damini are not here... "

" Hello, I know that... I was talking about Swati, Manu, you and I. " he said with enthusiasm.

So he doesn't know till now...

" Manu has gone.... "

" Gone where??? When?? Why? "

" I don't know... Didn't she tell you? "

" No...  But why did she go away so suddenly ?? "

" I don't know and how does that matter to you? " I asked in a sharp tone.

" Of course it does matter to me. I really like her... She is such a nice girl. Sweet, beautiful, loving and .. "

I wanted to punch him.

" Enough... Stop talking about her."

" Why ?? "

" Because... you are talking about my wife... " I said trying to control my anger.

" What?? Whom ?? "

" My wife... "

" Hey No !!! Are you even listening to what I said?? I am not talking about your wife, Manyata. I am talking about Manu, our Manu.... "

Our manu???? What the hell??

" Manu is not your's ok??  Manu is

Manyata Singh Rathore and she is my wife. "  I said too quickly.

" No !!! "  He was shocked as hell.

" Yes !!! "

" Stop kidding.. "

" I am serious... "

" So why was she here as manu? " he looked confused.

" She came to confront me and give me those papers. "

" Papers?? Divorce papers?? Did she ... ? "

" Yeah... She signed them. " I tried to speak normally but my voice was lower. 

" Really?? But why did she wait for so many days?? "

" Samar, please... I don't want to talk about it. "

" But she signed the papers, right?? "

" Yeah... "

" Well that's good... you must be relieved now? " He said and looked at him.

Was he happy??

" Are you happy? " I asked him.

" Of course Sahil,  you were so tensed about that marriage. I am happy for you. You would not have to be bothered about, being married to her. You are a free bird again. That calls for a celebration. " he said with a smile

" What about her?? " I asked.

" Who?? Manu?? Don't worry, she is so pretty and elegant, she doesn't even have to look for another guy. Any man would be happy to have her in his life. She would also be happy as it is you both didn't even like each other. So it is good for her too. "

" You think so?? "

" Didn't you see, how every man looking at her at the wedding? I think you did not notice. Believe me, every man was looking at her. She also deserves a loving husband who would think himself to be fortunate to have such a nice and beautiful girl in his life and his arms.  She was really looking very... " he said and I really wanted to beat him to a pulp.

" Enough Samar... Go and do your work. "

" Seriously?? Are you Sahil?? I am beginning to think that you are Sagar. You are behaving like, he used to just a month back. Chill man, you are free."

" Go away... Leave me alone. "

" Ok, but at least give me the papers, I am going to court so I can submit them."

" What is the hurry? "

" What?? Are you mad?? You were really after me to find her so that you can persuade her to divorce you. Now that she did it, you are saying this.  "

" But... "

" What but?? Did she ask for more alimony?? "

" No !!! She doesn't want anything from me. " Again my voice sounded depressed to me.

" Seriously?? What a girl... it is really good... let's start the process. The sooner, the better Sahil."

" Why are you in a hurry?? " I was getting restless and irritated.

Was he planning to propose her after I divorce her?? No... He would not do that... But he said any man would be happy to have her in his life. Would he??

No!!!! he is my best friend...

I was about to ask him if he would be happy to... Shit, I couldn't even say that. But I need to know. I couldn't imagine to see her with my best friend for the rest of my life.

Just then his phone started ringing. He looked at the screen.

" It's your dad.. " he said to me. I was curious to know why was dad calling him. He received the call.

" Hello, good morning uncle..... Yes, I am free for an hour... You want me to come? Is it urgent uncle?..... You want to talk about Sahil's divorce. Ok, I am coming. " he said and disconnected the phone.

" I need to go... He said it was urgent."

He said and went away.

I was just wondering what did dad want to talk to him about my divorce.

I followed him. I went home dad and Samar were in the living room.

I stood just outside the room. I wanted to know what dad wanted. He hasn't talked to me since she left.

" Uncle, you wanted to talk to me? "

" Beta I want to correct my mistake. I should not have forced them to get married. I gave so much pain to the poor child. So I want you to file those papers. I want this divorce as soon as possible. "

" Sure uncle... They both are good, maybe not just suitable for each other. "

" Yes, she is like my daughter so she is my responsibility and this time I will find the best person for her, who could love and cherish her. She is such a nice girl. I want the perfect man for her to marry. Who knows how to keep her happy. Who would only love her? "

' Right uncle... "

" What do you think about her? "

" She is a very nice girl uncle. She has every right to have someone who loves her. She is beautiful, elegant, smart, talented. Any man would be too happy to have her as his wife. "

Idiot... I will beat you...

" Will you be happy to be that man ? "

" Ji ???? " he looked shocked.

" I asked, do you like her? Would you marry her? "
