《Her Innocent Love》42. Her gift
Advertisement
After my birthday celebrations, I straight away went to hospital for emergency case.
For past two weeks, I always busy with so many things and works. I only can stay at hospital as I couldn't travel to home.
I was busy with shareholders meetings, Association meetings and conferences and also busy with surgery and consultancy for patients.
I need to go to Australia for one weeks regarding my research and the volunteers.
I couldn't meet or talk to Divya since my birthday and the weird things is she never called me all of this days. Are she alright?. At first, I didn't worried now I am really worried about her. I do ask about her to Nidhiya aunty and grandma. Both of them tell she was fine and she staying with Sandya as I'm not home.
It's really felt strange to spent a day without seeing her and listening to her ramblings. Although, I were not talking to her but she always will come meet or I can see her at home and sleep with her holding her in my arms.
I keep waiting for her calls but she didn't call me. Something really bothering me about her. I didn't feel good for past one week.
Beginning I wanted to call her but didn't as she didn't asked sorry to Sadhana and also grandma and aunty said she is fine. I couldn't forgive her stubbornness this time. Divya if she set something in her mind and it would be very hard for changing her mind.
I need to teach and guide her because before this she doesn't have anyone to teach her right and wrong and she do everything as her wished. Now she has me to guide her in right way.
It's really hard to stay angry on her and because of that I keep avoiding her all the time. Since I need to be angry to make her realised she did something wrong or not she won't realised it forever and will keep doing the same mistakes again.
I haven't open her gift yet as I forget about it. Since my birthday, I really become very busy even for eating also I don't have any time. I am really rushing in making everything finish in this year. So that, I can focus on Divya and it's become very hard for me to control my feelings on her nowadays.
My birthday celebrations was really beautiful. Sadhana has arrange everything just like I wished. I'm really grateful for Sadhana for that. She really made my birthday very special.
The only thing I feel bad was Divya. I noticed her throughout my birthday even I pretend not to. She look like lost kid and look very sad.

The happiness and smile on her face were missing. She fakes her smile and trying to look happy in front of others but I caught her. I noticed everything about her as I only look at her. I know when she were really happy and when she is not.
I thought she was sad because of my ignorance and my harsh behaviour towards her and I didn't give much importance because I know how to make her feel better.
Divya's sad face and her word's when she giving me her present didn't sit well on my heart. I feel something different with her wish. It's sound like goodbye but I recover from my thoughts as it's impossible for Divya to leave me even everyone is left me. I have that much confident on her.
I didn't open the her gift at that time because Sadhana was there and I don't want to open it's in front of her. The gift are something special for me and Divya only. I don't want to show or share with anyone.
Finally, I reach home after an hectic one month. I straight away went to my room as everyone still sleeping and Divya at Sandya's house. I fresh up and have my breakfast and do some light exercises before went to sleep.
I wake up at afternoon 2pm. I was my face and went down to have lunch. Nidhiya aunty and Sadhana also were here and everyone looks very happy except for dad and Aatharva. Dad look upset and Aatharva frown at me. I wonder why?. Divya still haven't back yet maybe she will come in evening. With that thought I have my lunch and went to my room.
I look for Divya's gift and founded at cupboard in my study room. I took the envelopes and opened the first envelope which had heart emoji on it. I smile looking at it.
I took out the paper out from the envelope. It's our wedding pictures painting. She add my mother in the painting but replaced her with Sadhana.
I look confused and wonder why she draw and replace her with Sadhana?. It's was oil painting and it's really look beautiful and real. I always know she have great talent in paintings. But I didn't like she being replaced with Sadhana. I frown looking at the picture.
What is in her mind when she draw Sadhana?. Did she really think there is something between us and I would marry Sadhana?. This thought make me angry. Sadhana is my family member. She just like Yamuna to me and I have soft corner towards since because of her, amaa agree to do chemotherapy and surgery.

I keep it at side and take the second paper from the same envelope. It's look like a handmade greeting card. I didn't know what she wrote on it but I have feel that I won't like the content.
I read the letter she wrote for me. My face become darker as I keep continuing reading. My eyes were blur with tears and it's running down like a river.
I feel downhearted and feel pang in my heart. I just couldn't believe the content that was wrote in the card. (pls refer to chapter 40 for her letter). How can she think me like that and took stupid decision?. If she have doubt and misunderstanding on something. She should asked me first.
I threw the card on the table and run to our room. I went to wardrobe to looking for her clothes and her things. The clothes all are missing and her portion was empty just like my heart now.
No matter how many times and how load I call her, she didn't come. I call to her number and it's comes as unreachable.
Did she really left me?. Did she she give up on our relationships?. She really abandoned me listening to other person words.
My tears were running through my cheeks non stop. I couldn't control it. I feel the same pain when amaa was passed away actually a lot more than that. At least I was ready and expect the news.
I feel like my heart paralysed, my brain was freeze, I couldn't breathing well and feel nausea.
It's just like my soul has left from my body. When I remembering everything back, her sad face, her painful looking eyes and her word's. Everything make sense and she being very oblivious but I couldn't see it.
I slumped on the floor with the card in my hand. I scared to open the second envelope. I don't want my doubt become true. With shaky hands, I take out the paper from the envelope and saw her signature on the divorce paper.
My heart stop beating at the moment I saw her signature on the paper. How can she think to sign the divorce paper and that too gift to me on my birthday?. I am angry, disappointed and upset with her now.
Seriously, why do take such a decision Divya?. Because I was avoiding you and ignoring you?. Didn't I behave like that everytime when I'm angry and Didn't I told you until you ask sorry, I won't talk to you.
If a mother told his son 'you are not my son' out of anger. Then, will the son not become her child anymore?.
It's was just like that when I throw my words. You have been with me for six years and still didn't understand me and decide to abandoned me.
I cannot be hypocrite Divya. When I was still angry and we not in talking terms for more than one month. Suddenly act like nothing and behave like normal with you, just because it's my birthday. You should understand me by now but you didn't.
When you asked me to talk alone just with you in presence of Sandhana. How can I said yes to you?. When you still haven't apologised to Sadhana and if I agree to it wouldn't like I take side of my wife.
I always thought that no matter what you won't leave me. I thought I took advantage of you love as I always felt relieved and never ever feel scared about you will leave me.
No matter how harsh my words, no matter how many times I reject you, no matter how many times I ignore you. You always came to me and be there for me.
You never love me as much I do or never tried to understand me like I do. In between both of us, I always thought you love me more than I do but you prove me wrong with your stupid decision.
I guess I'm the only one love you a lot and I wouldn't even imagine to left you no matter how hard or how big we fight.
First of all, why you even think Sadhana and me have a thing?. Didn't I told you that it's nothing between us and why you can't trust me?. I never trust anyone when they tell about you. I trust you that you only love me and will only look at me.
For you it's really simple to leave me. You seriously break my heart into pieces
I guess even your love too have expired time. Here I am thinking it will last forever.
If you going to leave me and abandoned like this. Why the hell you following and running behind me saying will always love me. Why you keep shows me all the love? When you going to snatching back from me. I was living on my own life and it was you coming in without any permissions and disturbing me. Now you just left me like this. You so cruel Divya!
Finally Arjun's Pov. How was that?. Did anyone feel bad about Arjun?
Next update will be late evening or night.

Gina the goblin, Dungeon Extraordinaire
Goburi was a goblin, a very poor goblin and now that she was dying that meant one thing, she could not even pay the toll to cross into the afterlife. Goblins worshipped gold, gold watched over them and Goburi had never earned or lost a mote, finding herself to be something of a heritic. Like most descisions in life it had felt like the nobler pursuit at the time, but with the darkness closing in, she realized how terrified she was. Even if she had died in debt, the great elusive glimmer in the depths would have put her soul in a new body, bringing with her the debt and some vague memories. Another chance to die in the black. Goburi's last thoughts were dark specters of regret chasing themselves in circles of thought until she prayed for it to be done. She really had no idea where the souls of goblin heritics went, it had never really happened before. A new dungeon was born, a crystal of pure magic containing a soul that failed to pass to the afterlife. As it gained awareness something else came through that was never supposed to be there. Memories of a workshop, and an uncomfortable need to earn gold.

Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world.
