"Sidharth....I need to talk to you about something" Shehnaaz said to him as she saw him entering the room after dinner. He closed the door behind him. Sidharth gave her small nod, giving her cue to continue what she wanted to say. She took a deep breath and stood before him.
"I can't do this anymore. I mean you..me, we both are not happy even after 3 years spending together. Its time i decide something, for us..for me."
"What?" His world fall apart hearing her, fear gripped his heart.
"I'm leaving this house.."
"No you can't.."
"I need time. Don't know how much time but i need it. I can't live in this loveless marriage anymore. I will be away from you and if you find someone special, don't hesitate to move on and give your self a chance. I always want your happiness and i know your happiness don't lie in me." Shehnaaz said to him, tears streaming down her cheeks. Sidharth took a step forward to wipe her tears but she took a step back. A look of hurt cross through his hazel orbs.
"Shehnaaz do you even know what are you saying? What will mom & dad say." Sidharth panicked and didn't realized what he had said, he had shattered her hopes again.
"They will understand me. If i stay here in this house i might end up doing something to myself. I can't take this torture anymore rey. Its been three years, Sidharth, I'm trying to make this marriage work but we are still where we started, we are still strangers, Sid. I cant stay in here Sid, i feel suffocated here" Shehnaaz pleaded to him, after three years of emotional torture, after three years of watching her husband ignoring her, Shehnaaz decided to end this, decided to end the silent torture.
They both look into each others eyes, he didn't wanted her to leave but he knew he has to, Shehnaaz is human too after all, she too have feelings and dreams. All those years of his inhuman behavior toward her he don't have right over her. The broken girl stood before him had finally gave up when Shehnaaz couldn't handle the pain anymore, if someone else was there at her place, would have gave up on their relation long ago but she was Shehnaaz, she had done everything to make their marriage work but Sidharth's ignorance toward their relationship and his indifferent behavior didn't left any stone unturned to make her believe Shehnaaz is nothing to him nor ever will be.
That day, after 3 years of loveless marriage Shehnaaz gave up, she gave up on him, she gave up on their relationship, Shehnaaz gave up on everything that ever connected them with each other. She left him but not alone, she left taking a big part him with her, she took her heart away from him. Shehnaaz left him to regret, she left him to remorse. And he couldn't do anything but regret his behavior toward her all the years they were together. Since their wedding night, the day Sidharth told her about how much he loves someone else not her and will never be able to love her, he had given her nothing but pain. And now she had enough. Shehnaaz had enough of all the sufferings he had put her through.
Now, He was alone, His heart burning in pain. Pain of losing her.
Was it end of their loveless marriage?
