Over time, Rajiv found solace in hobbies he had abandoned, in friendships he had neglected, and in quiet moments of self-reflection. Meera pursued her career with renewed vigor and reconnected with her passions.
The children noticed the change too—not the pain of separation, but the happiness of parents who were finally at peace. Family dinners became different, yes, but gentler, more thoughtful.
8. Reflection
Sometimes, love isn’t enough to hold two people together. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is let go. Rajiv and Meera’s story wasn’t about failure—it was about honesty, courage, and the bravery to accept life’s changes.
Divorce doesn’t erase memories, nor does it diminish the love once shared. It simply allows life to continue, in a form that is perhaps healthier, kinder, and more honest.
Rajiv often thought of the moment he first said the words aloud: I want a divorce. At the time, it felt like the end of the world. But in truth, it was the beginning of understanding, healing, and a new chapter.
And that, he realized, was a kind of love too.
