I halted the car in front of the same house which I visited only once but it's intimidated simplicity something that gave a chirk to me.The faint light coming through the closed window was the proof that she was inside the house.

Tonight I am going to see her after a long three months since the day she bade a farewell to me on my wedding day but will she appreciate my sudden visit to her when the equation between us haa completely turned opposite.I parked the car on the side of six yard fence and peered out

of the car.

Standing few inches back on the door step I pressed the bell a couple of times .The approaching foot steps gave a signal of her being very close

to the door and the door knob twisted....

"Randhir...!!!"a gasp slipped of her mouth.Obvisosly she never expected me to yiel on the door.

"Hii..."I gave her an awkward smile but composed my demeanour .

"What are you doing here..?"she curtly questioned .By her facial expressions I could tell that she didn't like my presence may be she is trying to get away from the heart break.

"I wanted to meet you..Chloe"I told her the truth which I thought I shouldn't hide from her .She had seen the little of real me.

"Ohh to mock on my poor condition after you eloped with your wife.."she taunted me.

"Chloe listen.."I put my hand on her shoulder but she jerked it away .The anguish and pain depicted in her welled up eyes.

"Randhir..please go from here..we

are done..our ways are separated.."she whimpered.

"No..you can't because I won't let you move on until I fix the things on their right place..."I was unfazed by her stubbornness.

"Great..Mr. Shekhawat..after enjoying your wife's ecstatic company you need a change .. that's why you suddenly acknowledge me as a better refreshment..."she bitterly spatted.

It was enough for my ego to consume.She was continuously kicking my patience level.Pushing her back I closed the door behind my back.

"Randhir go back to your wife..it hurts me..your presence around me when it is known to the world that you're no longer living the calibacy ...it feels I am snatching someone else's husband.."she couldn't hold her tears any more.

I made her sit on the chair and wiped her eyes using my thumbs.I pile of guilt embodied me because I am the reason of her miserable emotional delicateness.

"Chloe there is nothing what you're thinking I am not here to get you in the bed...no I am still rigid with my decision though Sanyukta is enjoying the title of my wife but we're not more than housemates ..."I muttered with the leftover amount of patience

I had.

"So why are you here..?"the stubbornness in her tongue hadn't gone.

"Because it's her..she started bothering me ... how much I am trying to distance myself from her ,more I feel attracted towards her.She is different Chloe..she isn't behind my money or name..you know in these three months she never claimed her right of being my wife publicly rather she avoids our mere encounter...she

is innocent..and I am afraid that I might fall for her..."I poured the dilemma I had buried in my heart .

"Its none of my business..Randhir because I am not the woman who stole the rest from your soul..I wish you could feel the same for me.."she smiled faintly.

I averted my eyes as she is innocent

as well .I felt anger building inside me for Sanyukta.She has messed up everybody's life.

"May I kiss you..for one last time..?"her soft voice turned my attention back to her.

She knelt to my level.She mumbled

a please but I didn't feel it to be a nice decision.Her hands clutched the fabric of my shirt.I swallowed trying to feel her touch .It wasn't right.

Although I and Sanyukta aren't in good terms still I own to be loyal as a husband that's my Grandma taught me wherever we used to witness nasty fights and exchange of disgusting allegations between my parents.

A gush of hot breath fell on my lips.If it would happened before my marriage,Chloe must be screaming my name until now but something has changed for sure.

"Stop.. Chloe.."I lightly pushed her back.The humiliation of refusal clearly visible on her red angered face.

"Get out of my house right now..Randhir.."she roared like a wounded tigress.I was surprised to see the ugly side of her .

She wasn't my Chloe whom once

I knew.Standing back again I adjusted my blazer giving her a hard glare .She disrespected me in most derogatory way.No one had ever talked to me in high pitch but this girl dared to get into my nerves for no reason.

I came to close the last chapter of our relationship which was only based on physical interactions.She is definitely not like my Sanyukta.She never raised her eyes even whether it is her guilt or ego but the truth can't be neglected that she respects me!

"You are fallen for her already Randhir... don't lie to yourself...anybody can tell this by looking into your eyes.Your eyes shine whenever you speak about her...I hate to admit but she effects you ..."every word she ushered was laced in pure hatred for Sanyukta.

"Whatever you said those ridiculous things that I love her is absurd Chloe..I can't never indulge myself in emotional affairs...I got married to get hold of my business..thats it..she is living her so do I..we don't interfare in each other's personal space.."I retorted defending the absurdity of my own heart.

"Huh.. You're a bad liar Mr. Shekhawat no had ever told you this..you may leave now..your homely wife must be waiting for her workaholic husband..Do not make her wait longer.."her taunt came like a jealous draped statement.

"I regret of wasting my time on you now..Chloe..I pathetic of my own self.."for the last time I stated and walked out of that place forever.

"Your arrogance is clouding your feelings for her...get it straight in your mind..unless it's too late to mend the broken cords of relationships.."I heard her last words and then the loud thud of closing door.

I am not gonna return or spare a glance at this place ever again .I need to erase such irrational thoughts before they contagiously effect my brain so I drove to the bar a place that could give me some mental calmness.

When I came back to the home ,the liquor had already it's job.The watchman tried to help me but I menacingly pushed him out of my way the first thing I wanted that moment to see her ,to confront her to get my answers from her.She ruined everything now she had to give me a appropriate logic to prove her innocence in this marriage.

The anger mixed with frustration and insult given by Chloe came out altogether.Breaking every single thing that came in my way I tried to get inside the elevator but my legs ditched . Before my body could kiss the floor ,she came from somewhere and held me preventing the pain to engulf that I might went through after falling on marbled floor.

My anger reached on zenith .But it wasn't intended to hurt her.It was on myself for hurting her for no reason.I am too at fault equally.I could easily denied Dadu's request or may be manipulated him but I had my own selfish motive.I wanted the power so what if she wanted money then it shouldn't be wrong or we both are wrong or right .

I spoke bad shits about her but she silently listened to my every insult.The hurt was all I could see in her hazel eyes.She isn't money hungry bitch at all I realise it that moment!

She made me lie on the bed but she didn't know that I was pretending to sleep but waiting for her next movement and again she gave me another proof of her selflessness when she softly combed my hairs .Her touch was delicate and soothing .My body started relaxing by the potion of her genuine care and soon I slipped into a peaceful slumber.
