Taming The Casanova

Chapter 32

Sahil's POV

I opened the envelope and was shocked to see the papers which I had sent to Manyata Singh Rathore.

My Divorce papers...

They were signed by Manyata Singh Rathore, with an additional clause that she didn't want anything

from me in return.

What the hell?? What was going on??

My mind had gone totally numb.

She was Manyata Singh Rathore, My wife ????

No !!!! How could that be???

Shit !!!!

" What was all that Sagar?? " I asked.

" You are asking me?? How could you Sahil?? "

" How could I ?? Do you even know what happened?? " I retorted

" How would I know if you don't tell me Sahil?? You didn't even bother to tell me that you got married??

"

" I didn't get married, I was sacrificed."

" Why didn't you tell me ???... I would have persuaded dad not to do that. "

" You were already tensed, Sagar... I could not do that to you. Dad was determined to get one of his

sons to get married to her. He asked you to come that day. But I went there in your place, dad asked

me about you and I told him about you. " I said. And looked at him. He was not convinced.

" Sagar, her dad was not well and he wanted to get his daughter married, our dad was getting so

emotional at that time that he was getting unreasonable. He said that he has already promised his

friend, that his son would marry his daughter. Dad asked me to decide, who would get married to her. I

was so shocked that I went away and switched off my phone for two days. You could not marry her and

I would not marry anyone. "

" Oh, God !! Sahil, you could have told me.... "

" What would you have done?? Dad was hell-bent he even said that he would disown us if we don't

honour his wish. He was getting very emotional that his friend was dying and was tensed about the

future of his daughter. So he promised that Sagar would marry her. But when I told him that you were in

love with Damini for more than a decade and would rather die than marry anyone else, he dropped the

bomb on me. He said then I would have to marry her or he would never talk to any of us and will

disown us. "

" You know dad would not have done that .. "

" He was going to do that only. I tried avoiding the matter but I could not. He asked me if I was in love

with anyone, which I was obviously not. So he pressurised me to get married to her otherwise he was

going to do it to you. That day I was about to tell you all that, but you told me about the

misunderstanding that Damini had because of me. I felt very bad that you suffered so much because of

me. You both wasted 10 years hating and waiting for each other. I felt that I was the worst brother ever.

You both suffered for more than a decade just because of my stupidity."

" Sahil... No, it's not like that... "

" It was like that only. You were not even living your life till you met her again. How could I be selfish

and destroy your happiness again? I didn't want dad to sacrifice your happiness because of his

promise. So I said that if one of his sons has to marry her than it would be me. I thought maybe the girl

would say no to all that nonsense, but she kept standing there crying and when her dad told her to get

married to me and she didn't say a single word of protest. she just nodded while sobbing there meekly.

I hated her and decided that if I can't avoid getting married to her, I would marry her and divorce her

later. "

" Did you ever gave it a thought, that she could also be under pressure?? If you being a young

independent man can be manipulated my your dad, she could also be. Her dad was just diagnosed

with cancer. Could you not understand her state of mind? " Sagar said.

" I was outraged at that time to understand all that. I was just furious that I was forced to get married

just because our dad made that promise. Her father looked in a very bad shape and I couldn't say no,

keeping everything in mind. But how could I settle down with someone like that? I didn't even look at

her she was wearing oversized boring clothes and her hair were messy. She didn't even look

presentable. "

" Are you even listening to what you

are saying?? Do you expect her to look at her best, when her father is just diagnosed to have cancer

and her life is as messed up as yours. If you were supposed to get married to a stranger so was she. I

understand Sahil that it was bad that you were forced to marry her but so was she. Did you ever think

that she must have had a life too? "

" I didn't think anything... I was just too upset ok?? But what do I do now? And how come she was living

with us pretending to be Swati's friend? Are you all in it against me? Does everyone know everything?

How could you do that to me, Sagar? I trust you the most."

" You trust me?? No!! You don't... You thought that I was good for nothing, so you didn't even bother to

share your problem with me. I was shocked when one fine day a beautiful girl came to my office and

slapped me very hard and threw these papers on me. I was shocked to see what was written in them. I

couldn't even believe my own eyes. You were married to her and were seeking a divorce. "

" Why did she slap you? "

" You idiot, because she thought that I was Sahil Malhotra. She started shouting at me and when she

came to know that I was your twin, she was so embarrassed. How could you do that to her? If you NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

wanted to get divorced, you should have gone and talked to her. How could you behave like a coward?

She seemed to be such a sweet and nice girl to me and mind it, she didn't want anything from you. She

was just infuriated by the way you asked for a divorce. She was your wife, our family, the daughter of

dad's friend. Do you expect me to send her back like that? So I persuaded her to stay back. "

" But why didn't you tell me when I came back? "

" Because I felt that she was a very good girl, perfect for you. She was your wife. I wanted you to give a

chance to each other. She is a perfect girl, Sahil. She is bold and beautiful and yet she respects and

cares for her relationships. She is an independent young woman with substance. She even requested

dad to let it be. She said that she respects your decision and tried to persuade dad that even she didn't

want to spend her life with you. But dad said that her dad would not be able to take the stress. So she

kept quiet. "

" Ok, but does everyone else knows this? "

" I was sitting with Damini when she came and slapped me so she knows, but Swati and mom knows

that she is the girl that dad wanted you to get married to. I didn't want to give stress to mom. Apart from

them, only Vikram knows, as he saw her on my engagement and asked her why she was here. He is

her first cousin. So I had to tell him. " he said and I closed my eyes in shame as I said that about

Vikram and even my own twin Sagar.

" What did she say when you persuade her to give me another chance? "

" I said that she was like Swati to me and I wanted her to listen to me and give you a chance as you

both are very good human beings. But Sahil just answer me a question? Will you let Swati stay with

someone just like you? I felt guilty in saying that to her because of your flirting nature but I know that

you are a wonderful man inside. Just try to look from her perspective, you are nothing but a casanova.

But see how good she was, she never asked me back that would I suggest the same thing for Swati if

she was in the same situation. If I didn't know you, as I know myself, I would not have suggested that to

her. "

" What do I do now? "

" The decision is yours... If you want to spend the rest of your life like this, then go and celebrate as she

has set you free... And if you want a better life then go and stop her. " he said and I came out of the

office.
