Chapter 25 — The Beginning of the End
It came quietly.
---
Like everything else between them.
---
Kavya placed the file on the table.
---
Neatly.
Carefully.
---
Aarav glanced at it.
---
“What is this?”
---
Kavya met his eyes.
---
“Read it.”
---
A pause.
---
Something in her tone—
made him pick it up.
---
He opened it.
---
And froze.
---
Divorce Agreement.
---
Silence filled the room.
Heavy.
Unmoving.
---
Aarav looked up slowly.
---
Kavya stood there.
Calm.
Unshaken.
---
“I think this is the right time.”
---
Her voice was steady.
---
“No arguments.”
---
“No misunderstandings.”
---
“Just… clarity.”
---
Aarav stared at her.
---
For a moment—
like he hadn’t heard her correctly.
---
“This isn’t funny.”
---
“It’s not meant to be.”
---
A pause.
---
Something in his chest tightened.
Sharp.
Unfamiliar.
---
“You’re serious?”
---
Kavya nodded.
---
“Yes.”
---
Silence.
---
Aarav let out a short breath.
Cold.
---
“Because of that man?”
---
The words came harsher than intended.
---
Kavya’s expression didn’t change.
---
“No.”
---
A beat.
---
“Because of you.”
---
That landed harder than anything else.
---
Aarav’s grip on the file tightened.
---
“This is unnecessary.”
---
Kavya shook her head slightly.
---
“No.”
---
Another pause.
---
Then—
quietly—
---
“I stayed long enough.”
---
Silence.
---
Complete.
---
Aarav looked at her.
Really looked.
---
And for the first time—
he saw it clearly.
---
She wasn’t asking.
---
She wasn’t waiting.
---
She was leaving.
---
And there was nothing in her eyes—
that said she would stop.
