Life is always unpredictable. When you feel everything is going alright, you are met with a huge shock. For Ruhi life was tough.
Being a girl without a father's shadow it is hard to live peacefully in society. But she was determined to make everything right. Her mother raised her on her own. Ruhi's father left them when she was 16 they did made alots of memories but they weren't enough. She missed her baba terribly. How can she not whatever she is today it's all her Baba's teaching.
Ruhi was always smart in business affairs and went forward in the field alots of obstacles were one the way but nothing stopped her. She managed to start her own startup and she worked hard to be where she is now. She is one of the most successful young businesswoman.
Though it felt like it wasn't enough to shut people's mouth. They still doubted her abilities and she always proved them wrong. She never had a male figure in her life after her baba. The young bubbly girl was almost dead after his death. But
ABHISHEK MALHOTRA managed to bring that bubbly girl back not totally she had became an introvert. She didn't prefered talking much now. But with Abhishek she opened up a bit because Abhishek was a bigg extrovert. They both met in first year of college and clicked instantly. Ruhi can't deny the attraction she felt for him. They were college sweethearts. Everyone envy them.
They both grew together and stronger. Helping each other in business affairs and things were their kind of love talk. Both were happiest in their relationship nothing bothered them. The people taunted them for being in relationship in such a young age but it didn't mattered.
Ruhi was called names as gold digger because abhisheks parents were rich. At the start she was effected but after that she got used to it knowing that people are just jealous and want to hurt her. Abhisheks parents approved ruhi and treated her as their own daughter.
They were happy with their sons choice. Everything was going smooth. Life was like a fairytale for Ruhi. She got a loving family because of Abhishek. Her mother was her support, Abhishek was her love. Her work was doing great. She was growing her business more and more.
Few years passed now Abhishek took over his father's business and did hard work to spread it more. Ruhi was successful as she was always a bright student and she had a great support system. Ruhi's mother wanted ruhi to get Married, she wanted to see her settled now. She managed to talk to Abhisheks parents and they agreed too. Ruhi was in the ninth cloud but Abhishek was a bit confused with his own thoughts. But he couldn't deny. And they both got married.
The wedding was huge as both were billionaires. The news of their wedding spread like fire. Alots of people were happy, some were jealous too. The wedding was grand. Actors, governors, ministers and businessmen were invited.
The first few months of wedding was so dreamy for Ruhi. She couldn't ask for more. She fell more and more for Abhishek. Even she didn't knew how can she love him so much. This man of hers was her whole world. She trusted him like no other.
They went to Paris for their honeymoon. She was so happy. Abhishek always managed to bring a smile on her face. She thanked God for sending him in her life.
Abhishek was still confused he didn't felt the satisfaction even after marrying ruhi. He still left a piece of him was missing. It didn't felt new even after their wedding. They went to honeymoon but he was too lost to focus on ruhi. It was her who used to setup everything and even his slightest effort in getting involved her made her happy.
Ruhi was a girl who was easy to make happy. It never took any effort for Abhishek to make ruhi happy. She was a girl who forever craved love. Abhishek being an over talker gave her that. For him it was like casual talks but for Ruhi it was much more than that. There was no doubt Abhishek loved ruhi but he felt a part of him missing. For him there were no sparks or butterflies while kissing her. So they never went further. Ruhi never doubted him thinking he wasn't ready.
Ruhi did everything, from the households to her office work. She never complained she liked doing so. It was her and Abhishek only. His parents and her mother visited them time to time. So managing it was not a big deal for her. She decorated the whole house by herself.
They built their dream house together. She asked Abhishek if he wanted any changes but he just shrugged saying whatever she liked is what he likes. His words never failed to make ruhi blush.
It was a daily routine of ruhi to welcome her husband. Today was something different. She heard the car honk as she rushed to the gate and opened it for him. Hugging him softly
"I missed you. Welcome home abhi" she whispered lovingly. Abhishek didn't replied just slightly pushed her aside. It was for the first time he didn't greet her back. Before nodding at her he went inside. Ruhi thought it is because he is tired from all the work
She thought of making a perfect dinner for him. And she did put all her hard work in preparing food but he didn't seem to notice her efforts. Ruhi frowned now.
"What happened is everything alright? You seem tensed" she asked in a concerned tone.
"M tired" he replied before making his way towards their bedroom. Pushing away the uneasy thought inside her she went inside the room after cleaning. He was already laying there. She went and layed beside him before turning and hugging him which annoyed Abhishek but he kept quiet.
"You know i trust you. You are very strong to deal with any obstacle my abhi. Please don't push me away. We will find the solution whatever it is. Please let me in. You can trust me you know right. I will always love you. You are the only man i love and trust. You are the best" she spoke slowly wanting him to know she was here for him. She kissed her forehead. And Abhishek gulped hearing her words this wasn't right.
He hummed in response before wishing her good night and turning his back at her.
And from this day his coldness started to grow. He started pushing her away never responding to her kisses, hugs or i love yous. First ruhi thought it was work stress but no something was wrong she tried to persue but he was too persistent to not let her in. Days went by so did weeks and so did months. It was more than 6 months now.
Ruhi was stressed and feeling miserable she doesn't know what went wrong. Or what mistake she did. Abhishek changed so much in these months. He came late at night, left early in the morning. They even didn't had their food together. Ruhi was tired running after him. He was being so stubborn. She just needed one explaination that what went wrong but he was not giving her that too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was another dull day of her life after her abhi changed nothing felt good. She was not feeling well today. The clouds were roaring alot. It seemed it is gonna rain hard. Ruhi never liked rainy days it reminded her of her father's death. It was same rainy day when her baba took his last breath.
She shuddered remembering that. The LED tv in her room was on. The weather telecast were informing people to stay at their home. Ruhi thought of leaving too she grabbed the remote to switch off the tv but then.
THE VERY WELL KNOWN BILLIONAIRE ABHISHEK MALHOTRA HAS FILLED A DIVORCE FROM RUHI VERMA HIS WIFE WHO IS ALSO A BUSINESSWOMAN. IT IS VERY SHOCKING AS THE COUPLE GOT MARRIED AFTER HAVING A FOUR YEARS RELATIONSHIP, ONE AND HALF YEAR OF MARRIAGE.
their fans are in shock and disheartened hearing such news as the couple was adored by many.
It felt like the floor slipped under her legs she couldn't her what the anchor said after seeing the headline. Divorce. They never talked of it. Then what happened. Though there were some problems between them but divorce.
She felt she couldn't breathe anymore. The man she loved and trusted the most didn't felt it is necessary to ask her while fileing a divorce. Is this why he was distant from her. She was stupid to think it was work. A choked sob escaped her lips. She cried and cried grabbing her hairs. She couldn't believe her eyes and ears.
She rubbed her eyes mercilessly feeling that they betrayed her from reading that shit news. But no it was true. She flipped different channels but every channel showed the same news.
She shakily got on her feet before running towards the garage she kicked start her car and made her way towards her house. Her heart was pounding. She was feeling as is someone is squeezing her heart.
She stopped the car and saw abhisheks car was already parked it means he was home early. It never happened even when she asked him to come early he never did. What's today. She made her way towards the gate and pushed it open. There he was sitting with her best friend
Mayra was also there. Ruhi didn't understood why she was there. And her presence was her least concern for now.
"A-abhi did you--did you saw the news. They a-a-are spitting rubbish. Call t-the person and Sue him for -- spreading false news" her lips trembled as she spoke. Her legs wobbled as she made her way towards him.
"Sit ruhu" he spoke softly it confused her how can he be so calm someone is spreading false news about their marriage.
"B-but" she tried to speak but he shushed her and asked her to sit. She sat down instantly looking at him to say something. Abhishek took a deep breath before letting her know.
"It's, the news it is true. I filed a divorce from you" he spoke. Ruhi's heart dropped she couldn't believe her ears.
"W-what are you saying. Please it's not time for your jokes abhi. It's --its scaring me please" she cried as she spoke as she tried to hold his hands but he moved away. Making her heart shatter into pieces.
"W-why" she spoke brokenly.
"I was confused from the start ruhu, i was marrying the girl i love but i wasn't feeling happy. But everyone was happy about this marriage so i thought to give it a try. I tried my best to be happy but it lagged. Please don't get me wrong yes i did love you but there was something missing. Until- until *gulp* i met Mayra in our wedding. We met again after two months of our marriage and became friends. She was my type talkative, extrovert and all. I don't know-- i don't know how I --i fell for h-her" he spoke slightly scared to see her reaction but he saw nothing it was like she was processing to understand what he said.
A hard slap landed on Abhisheks cheek making his face turn side ways.
"Try huh you gave our marriage a try. Is it a joke to you. A-and what do you mean you fell for her. Didn't you said you love me. You were the one who proposed me first. What was i lagging Abhishek. I was ready to give you everything. I did everything. I didn't asked anything in return b-but you-- you broke me abhi. You broke your ruhu" she yelled at him as she cried drastically.
Clutching her hairs. The pain of betrayal was more than anyone can imagine. Ruhi turned to Mayra who was nervously playing with her fingers. Mayra was her first friend and they became best friends after years of friendship. Ruhi considered her as her own sister. She knew Mayra would have slapped Abhishek she can't betray her no way.
"M-mayra see what rubbish he is speaking he--he said he loves me then h-how can he fall for you. You slapped him right. You rejected him" ruhi questioned desperately wanting Mayra to say yes but her hopes died when Mayra shook her head saying no.
"W-what" ruhi stared at Mayra in disbelief.
"Ruhu i-i tried to stop him but he was too persistent and- and i liked him too when we met first. I tried to make him understand but we both fell for each other" Mayra dropped the bomb.
Ruhi felt suffocated seeing their faces.
"Wow what a fool i am. My husband is seeing another woman from the second month of our marriage and i was so stupid to not understand his distant behaviour. What a fool you are ruhi what a fool" she chuckled bitterly with her teary eyes. Abhishek and Mayra hung their head low in shame.
"But you both *clap* what a great actors huh. Acting like you both love me and care for me. Who else knew about your backstabbing" she asked.
"Our- our common friends" Abhishek spoke slowly. Ruhi took a sharp breath.
"Tell me from start" ruhi said her head was throbbing but she wanted to hear it all.
"Mayra and i met at our wedding. We talked for sometimes and exchanged our numbers after two months of our marriage i met her again accidentally. She invited me to her house. Few days later i went there. We became friends. We used to hung out i enjoyed her company. She did too.
We were friends till i realised I had feelings for her. I knew I was wrong so i decided to spend more time with you. We went for our honeymoon but her thoughts never left me. After we came back i confessed my feelings for her. She pushed me away saying we can't cheat on you and it will leave you broken if we did.i tried making her understand cause I knew she felt for me too. I gave her some time i was stressed she will reject me. One day Mayra called me back crying. I went to her home she confessed she couldn't forget me too. I comforted her. One thing led another a-and we got intimated. That night when i pushed you was because of guilt. We met on daily bases. We love each other alot. But i didn't had the guts to tell you. I thought of telling you but you will be heartbroken. Thinking this i kept it hidden until I got divorce paper ready. We couldn't wait longer because--because m-mayra is pregnant."
Ruhi wanted to die at that moment. He never touched her but he got her best friend pregnant.
"Mayra suggested we should make it official telling you in person will hurt you more. So *gulp* i gave the news to the media. Please ruhu i know we made a big mistake but please we love eachother. We have a baby on the way. Let's not ruin each other's life and sign the papers please. It has your shares and this house is in your name as you decorated it very fondly." Abhishek spoke.
Ruhi doesn't know how to react now. She just wanted the ground to swallow Her. So much pain. As if she is burned alive.
She didn't spoke anything just got up from her place only to fall back Abhishek tried to support her but her glare silenced him. She shakily climbed the stairs and went to their room. She looked at it longingly her wedding photo hanging in the wall was taunting her.
She took out her bag from the almirah and started stuffing her clothes in it. She took her everything and left whatever he gifted her
She went downstairs before moving to the kitchen her favourite place . This kitchen has seen her crying for her husband's love. But fate is cruel.
She went to her garden where she used to spend her time in weekends. She watched them one last time. Before returning to where both of them were sitting. She again looked at the people whom she trusted. Where she went wrong.
She saw the papers laying.
"I-i will send them back after signing it." She spoke lowly. Her throat ached to even say something. She picked the papers and went towards the gate. As Abhishek and Mayra tried to stop her.
"Ruhi it's raining Heavily. You are scared of rain, please don't go" Abhishekh tried to speak but she ignored him and moved towards the door. He pleaded again.
"I am more scared to live with backstabbers" she spoke coldly.
"Ruhu punish us but pl-pleasee don't walk away."this time Mayra spoke.
Ruhi chuckled bitterly the audicity these peoples had. The sudden care. She wanted to laugh at her fate it played a cruel game.
"I don't get my hands dirty for punishing flitthy backstabbers. Karma will punish you cheaters enough. I can't breath seeing your faces." Ruhi spoke finally before walking out in rain. They yelled her name but she continued to walk away.
She saw from the corner of her eyes Abhishek held Mayra comforting her. Her jaw clenched seeing that. How much she wanted to be in his embrace.
She walked mindlessly for hours the rain was pouring hard but she didn't cared. She was drenched in water it was her least concern. There were no sign of human existence as the rain pour was so hard. Not even a single person was walking in the road except her.
She continued to talk towards the cemetery. Her only peace. She went inside. Before kneeling down in front of her Baba's tomb. She hugged the tomb placing her head on it. She trembled. Before releasing a heart wrenching scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
She screamed out loud the pain she was feeling she screamed it all. She continued to scream before coughing out some blood.
"B-ba-babaaa it hurts baba mai mar jaungi baba. Whyy me. Mai-maine bhut pyaar kiya dono se *sob* aap toh jante hai na. You know my feelings na baba. W-why did you left me. They have hurt your guriya b-bba. Maine konsi glti ki thi baba. I would have rectified it. But they decided to cheat on me. May-mayra is p-pregnant. I always wanted to get pregnant you know na b-but see my husband didn't touched me but got her pregnant." She cried heavily complaining her baba about them. She cried like a child in his tomb.
"Itna bada dhoka deke muze kehte hai mai unhe maaf kar du kaise baba, mai mar jaungi abhi ke bina. Vo Aisa kyu *sob* kyu kyu kiya" she banged her hands on the stone as her hands harshly started to bleed.
"B-bhut chot pahuchaya unhone apki guriya ko babba muze apne pass bula lein. Mai nhi reh sakti yaha b-bbaaa"
The clouds cried more with her. The thunders screamed in agony telling her they are with them. Her heart was bleeding. She couldn't define the pain. She just wanted to take her life. She sobbed harder and harder till she couldn't breath.
Slowly she started to loose her consciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The caretaker of cemetery came in the morning to clean the place but then he saw a women lying on of the tomb. He went near her and shook her to wake her up. She didn't moved. Terrified he turned her to him. The lady's face was turning blue. She was burning like lava. Her breathing was so slow that anyone can consider her dead. The blood was dripping from her hands. He rushed inside to call the ambulance and soon the lady was taken away by the ambulance.
They rushed to the hospital taking her towards emergency ward. And started her treatment. Her body has turned blue. It was difficult to save her.
After hours of treatment they still didn't succeed it was like she gave up the will of waking up. She laid there lifeless. The doctor tried contacting her family. But no one showed up. One of the nurse recognised her. She was the billionaire. In such a pity condition.
As no one from her family showed up they decided to shift her to normal ward. They can't keep her here. She was just occupying a bed. When they were about to move her. Her heartbeat suddenly increased. The panic situation was created everyone rushed to control Her. She was getting an attack. She struggled. The doctors tensed up. And she slowly settled down
