** Mine

956 Words
In the early morning, I prepared myself. That meant a perfect suit, polished shoes, the ideal cologne—everything flawless. I even purchased a new car because it was on my checklist for perfection. I descended the stairs, awaiting Ray's company. Surprisingly, he was punctual. In my book, Ray only knew how to squander every second unless it was prime time. "Guess what?! I am too eager to meet my sister-in-law," Ray replied with a glint in his eyes, noting my shocked expression. Sister-in-law?! Yeah, she would soon be. What the hell is happening to me? Since when did I start talking to myself? I caught myself again in my thoughts. Soon, we drove towards the high court, where Divya was handling a case. Entering the court, our eyes met hers. She was in her formal attire, looking stunning yet professional. Ray briefed me on the case she was handling—a case of child abuse. Ray and I sat in the audience line, in the judging area, keeping an eye on her. “As you can see in the clip, that girl..." the lawyer said, pointing to a girl in the video, "is smiling and doing nothing to stop. This implies it is done with her approval.” The opposing lawyer stated, finishing by gawking at Divya and giving her a dirty smile. He didn’t know that I had just sworn that I would rip him apart. Divya stood up with a calm posture. “So my colleague wants to say that she is enjoying s****l pleasures. Can I ask him some questions?” she questioned. The opponent's lawyer nodded. “Okay, sir. Have you ever dealt with a virgin?” Divya confronted him. The opponent's lawyer was staring into space. I smirked inwardly; I didn’t know that she could say these words so bluntly. “Sir, if I am not wrong, you are a married man. Was your wife a virgin or not?” she asked with a serious look. It glued the audience to her. No expression on the lady’s face. “O...of course! What’s the point in asking that?” the opponent stumbled. “Point is, Sir, if you were her first man, you can make out that when you touch a girl with a s****l motive, it’s all new to her, thus she has unknown emotions around her. She might also look like that girl, which you accused by saying that she was enjoying the assault. So this theory concludes, you were doing the same thing to your wife as the person is doing in the video to the girl. That’s nonsense, isn't it? I hope you understand the point. The tape reactions of the girl would not prove that she is encouraging the man’s action. And for your kind information, the girl is underage, and it’s a crime to involve a teenager in s****l exercises.” Many statements passed, and Divya's side won the case. I could sense that no longer was there a woman who could feel another person's pain. She was someone roaring, threatening, and witty. I was speechless at how she could switch between a tigress and an angel. I thought the case was over as the opposing party got the video on their side, but the game changed. As she moved out of the court, taking her purse and stuff, we stopped her, and I gave my best smile. Her mood was refreshing. We congratulated her on winning the case. She took the congratulations but figured out they were not here to congratulate only. She looked at us for a while. No one spoke. We were looking at her, and she at us. I was mesmerized by what I saw and couldn't stop looking at her. She looked so good in a lawyer's dress, and she would look deadly without it too. Ray, who was standing behind me, punched me in the back for no reason. I glared at him but soon focused on my love. “I forgot your name. What was it?” she asked with an apologetic look. “It’s okay, my love,” I said the last words in a low voice. I allow you to forget this fake name, but you cannot forget my actual name as you will moan that every night. Yes, every night. I thought to myself. “What?” she asked as she could not hear the full line. I came from my dreamland and saw Ray was smirking, knowing the situation. “Sam” I faked smiled. “Yeah, it was on the way in my mind to strike it. I mean, How can I forget a guy who I met yesterday only?” she said apologetically. She definitely forgot it! I saw Ray, and we both knew that was not the case. She has forgotten our names. Ray was laughing sideways. Only I saw that and gave him a warning from my eyes. Though he can understand. Not all people meet billionaires on the road every day, and this lady has the audacity to forget our names too. But again, I am a commoner to her. And, if I had introduced myself as a billionaire, I would not be standing and talking to her. Seeing both of us not saying anything, she started, “You both have such short names, but even then I am not good at remembering. Well, if my name is too big for you guys also, you can give me a nickname too,” she proposed the idea after thinking. She must have thought we felt insulted. “So what will you call me?” she looked at us, and Ray gives me a knowing look. I replied, “Mine.”
