Soooooo sorrry bhootnis for making you all wait for so long, but had a verrrry busy time with family and as i keep saying they are the wrold to me. But now finally for this very special bhootni family too here is the next part.......
Part 12.......................................................... .....
Dev and Kaajjal reach the clinic but Kaajjal can't seem to lift her feet. she prefers to wait outside the room so that she can give Dev a few private moments with his wi..... She can't even bring herself to think of anybody other than her to be his wife, but with a very heavy heart she holds Dev's outstretched hand and goes in with him. she is shocked to a standstill.
Right there on the bed she sees her. Dev too realises that he should have warned her but its too late. He aqueezes her hand, but Kaajjal is too shocked to recover. There on the bed is Paayal, now dead to the world. Inspite of her condition she is beautiful. Even more beautiful than herself. How can Dev not love her. But Dev has eyes only for her, even now. But more shocking is the girl sitting next to Paayal. What is she doing here? Kaajjal does not realise that she spoke the words out loud and she turns her head but with tears in her eyes. she runs to Dev and hugs him. Dev consoles her saying "Please don't cry Chameli, please. She has gone we can't bring her back but please don't hurt her soul by crying. After all she was your only sister and your only family.
All the time Kaajjal is listening to all these new revelations and her mind is spinning from it all. Chameli Paayal's sister? But earlier on chameli tied a rakhi to her own brother-in-law, why? She is so confused that she remains silent and quiet. Then Chameli raises her head from Dev's shoulder and faces kaajjal. "I am very sorry for all the pain you have had to go through all this time. We owe you an explanation, " Kaajjal stops her by putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "No Chameli, all the explanations can come later. Now is the time to take Paayal to her final destination. We must hurry before those two evil persons know about this all." Dev too agrees and he goes near Paayal and for one last time pays his final respect to her by simply standing near her feet and asking for forgiveness. "I know you have loved me and only me, but today I am your culprit, please forgive me as I could not fulfill my wedding vows and give my love to you completely. I am not ashamed in anyway to admit to you that I love Kaajjal more than anything or anybody in my life but I am sorry to have put you through all this pain. I hope you will forgive me."
Kaajjal gets tears in her eyes for Dev and his sorrow and pain but is very happy in her hearts to realise that Dev is hers and hers alone. She goes near him and she too folds her hands asking for forgiveness on behalf of Dev. chameli sees this and smiles at their selfless and undying love for each other. She puts a hand on Dev's shoulder and they all leave from there. Chameli and Kaajjal wait while Dev arranges for Paayal's funeral and with the help of the clinic wardboys manages to set it all up and in the early day break they send Paayal to the final leg of her journey.
Dev breaks down then as if cleansing away his mind of all the memories he had with Paayal. But when he closes his eyes he cna see only Kaajjal. He realises that Paayal has forgiven him and all ties with her have been severed. chameli too breaks down crying and Kaajjal hugs her consoling her with comforting words. finally all is done and the pandit gives Dev the Asthi kalash. Chameli takes it from him and thanks Dev for everything and leaves. Dev lets her do that and bows his head asking her to forgive him but she stops him saying "No, you have suffered enough. All this time you have endured more than your share of sorrow, now its their turn." she leaves with a vengeance.
Kaajjal puts a loving comforting hand on his shoulder. He turns and takes her in his arms and cries "I love you very much Kaajjal, please promise never to leave me!!!!" and he breaks down crying and sobbing on her shoulder. she comforts him and they leave from there.
On reaching home, Dev tells Kaajjal that please don't let anybody know about anything, as nobody but K-A and us know about Paayal. Sha nods her head and they both silently enter the house and go into their rooms.
