AkDha FF Destiny #2 Chapter 18-19 updated 13/10 The End pg 21

A DAY LATER

Jodha watched the yolk like sun sinking down the sky, draining the color with it. She had been sitting like this since he left her here all alone. She could just not find her mistake. What crime she had committed for which she was being punished for. She wanted answers but he had not yet returned and she was dreading that something bad had happened with him.She prayed a silent prayer that nothing should happen to her husband or else she would become alone again.Even though he married her for revenge but she felt safer with him than her parents. She wanted to believe in him, trust him.Doesnt he trust her enough to share his problems with her.She has the right to know.She had vowed to the God during the seven sacred vows that she would be there with him through thick and thin. She slapped her temple with hand and thought to herself "So foolish of me! I didn't give him a chance to speak. He just walked away. Maybe there is something else to this. Maybe its not what I think it is."

With renewed hope and confidence "The Wife" dressed herself up in order to search for her husband. She just hoped that he retains her trust. Quickly tying a ponytail, Jodha was about to walk away from the room when she abruptly stopped and moved towards the mirror, glancing at herself. She loosened her hair and let it fall freely down her hips. "Jalal likes my hair open" she blushed at her thought and a smile crept up on her face.One last look at the mirror and Jodha dashed out of the room, quickly settling herself on an auto. She was anxious to meet Jalal and she decided to check on the office first. Due to the wind, Jodha's long hair was constantly falling over her face and for once she thought she would tie it up but later dismissed the thought as she wanted to look her best in front of Jalal.

Jodha frowned at her peculiar behaviour of dressing up according to Jalal's taste. "What is up with me? This behavior of mine is very weird and Jalal is behind it. Why am I changing myself in according to his ytaste?How does it matter to me? I just hope LOVE is not behind my sudden change. I cannot love him! I shall not! I will not and I don't! Am I talking to myself? Jalal you did this to me!" through the mirror she could see the auto driver grinning and she knew he had heard her speak. Embarrassed, Jodha made a serious face and sternly spoke "Bhaia Hasna band kijiye aur jaldi chaliye!" She rolled her eyes andgave a quick glance to her cell phone hoping for a message from Jalal, but to her bad luck her battery charge had drained out!

From a distance Jodha could see the posh glassy building.As she stopped outside the gate, Jodha saw Jalal's car parked in its place and she heaved a sigh of relief that at least he is safe.She took out the money from her purse and handed it over to the driver who was still grinning at her, but she chose to ignore him because at that point of time it was necessary to speak to Jalal. The elevator was full of people.ID cards dangling on their shirts. A man studied her from top to bottom, making her feel uncomfortable "Sorry Miss may I know who you are?"He demanded an answer from her. A liitle taken aback with his tone Jodha politely spoke "Well, Im Jodha.Better known as Jodha Jalalluddin Mohammad.Mr.Mohammad's personal secretary and his wife." Jodha prided herself for being his wife and a few days ago if someone addressed herself as Mrs.Mohammad, it would leave a bitter taste in her mouth.Yet today things have changed so much. This Jodha is different from that one. The man said in apologetic tone "Im so sorry Madam. I didn't know you were the one, if I had known then I wouldn't have had spoken to you in this tone. I hope you wont tell this to Sir." Jodha had the sudden urge of laughing at the man's foolishness. Were they that frightened of him?

OH Jallad! She thought to herself. The lift started to empty at each stopping floor and on the 17^th floor Jodha was all alone in there. Just as the lift door opened, she dismounted it and went up to the reception. There sitted a woman, about in her late thirties, busy on the phone. Just as she saw Jodha she kept the call on hold and spoke politely yet urgent "Good evening.Yes Jodha Ma'm may I help you?" Jodha spoke with hesitation "Is Jalal here?" The receptionist nodded and gave a weak smile. "He has company." By hearing her tone Jodha had a very bad feeling and terror took over her. Jodha asked her meekly "Who is it?" The receptionist knitted her fingers together and placed it over her desk. "Just a friend." Jodha raised a brow at her and spoke "I have something important to discuss with him and please do not inform him that I'm here. I would like to take him by surprise." Jodha then pressed a fake smile as she walk passed the desk and then she heard the receptionist tell her "Ma'm he is in the conference room. Take a right from here." Jodha murmured "Thank you." As she moved closer to the room, she felt as if each of her step was becoming heavier than the other. Her palms were sweaty and when she touched her forehead it was drenched with sweat. Just as she reached the door she leaned forward in order what they were conversing about, but to her bad luck the room is soundproof. She carefully opened the door slightly and tilted her head forward to see what was going on. Her heart was stopping her from spying but her mind led her on. Jalal and HIS friend's back was towards Jodha and the sight she saw there shocked her to the core. The girl's face was slightly visible and she her arms were wrapped around Jalal tightly and she was on with a mantra "I love you Jalal." His arms were at the side, not touching but not even stopping her. No, she wasn't the same girl from the picture but a whole different person.

Jodha's world seemed to crash upon her, its sharp edged pieces piercing through her, stinging her. She could see no more. Hastily, she moved away from the room and a pool of tears was already emerging from her eyes. The receptionist saw her and she instantly knew what might had happened inside. "Ting." The elevator doors opened and Jodha found herself all alone there. As soon as she left the premise,Jodha broke down as she could no longer hold herself. This treachery has shaken her up! He is a womanizer!He had pretended all this time. The love, the care she saw in his eyes were all pretentious He just wanted her to warm his bed which he had accomplished already. And when his work here is done, he started revealing his true identity. THE REAL JALALLUDDIN MOHAMMAD! "How could I even think that he is in love with me! So foolish of me! Its my fault. I shouldve maintained a gap between us. Hey Bhagwan!"She sat on the bench near the bus stop as her head was started feeling heavy. "I have to leave. Leave all of this. Yes." She wiped the trails of tears from her face and started for Jalal's house from where she started a new life with renewed hope.

Jodha stuffed in her clothes in her one and only suitcase as she didn't want to take anything which was purchased by Jalal.Tears were constantly falling from her eyes. Picking up the suitcase, she contently watched the room for one last time and moved out of the house.

"milke bhi human mile tumse na jane kyu

milo ke hai faasle tumse na jaane kyu...

kaise bataye kyu tujko chahe yara bata na paye.

Bate dilo ki dekho jo baaki ake mujhe samjhaye

Tu jane na aaa.. Tu jane na aaa.."

The wheels of her suitcase screeched against the hard rocky surface of the ground and she struggled with the heavy weight of it. Tears still streaming out of her eyes. Giving up, she decided to carry it rather than dragging it. She stooped lower to check whether the wheels were alright and then she heard the vast gate of the mansion open with a cring. "Going somewhere?" came out the husky remark from the gate. It was HIM. Through her lashes she could see him, standing in front of his car.His eyes were cold and his jaw clenched into a stern line, his expression unreadable. Inhaling the fresh air, she grabbed the handle of her suitcase and began to walk again but stopped when he advanced towards her. She used the suitcase to form a barrier between them and this made Jalal chuckle and he gave her a As-if-this-is-going-to-stop-me look. An annoyed Jodha now spoke "What is the matter with you? I wont to go,now. Move away from my path this instance!" His expression then again became cold and he asked her "Why are you leaving me? If the reason is good enough I will let you go." As if she is going to stop if he tells her to. She wriggled her brows and said in a rude tone :Don't put up an act.Now I know everything, the real Jalalluddin Mohammad."

For some time he kept quiet, staring blankly at her face. The silence was broken by Jodha "Well then,then this is it. It was nice meeting you Jalal. I will take your leave now."As Jodha walked passed him, Jalal got a grip of her hands and clutched it tight. No not her. He would not let go of her and that to for a stupid misunderstanding. She was way too special for him.Jodha roared at him and struggled to get out of his clutches."Leave me you womanizer!" Jalal smashed his lips on hers making Jodha's eyes widen with shock. His kiss was demanding and sensual. Jodha for a minute forgot everything and started kissing him back with double the force. She moaned as he slipped his tongue inside her, tasting her.'Lost' in the moment, Jodha slid her long fingers into his copper hair. His hands snaked her waist and pulled her closer to him. This worked like an alarm for the girl and she pushed him away.Her lips swollen with the kiss.

"How dare you?" she spoke in a quivering tone. Jalal ran his fingers in his hair and said "It was Ruqqaiya who you saw in the office and then decide to run.' he said apologetically.Jodha rolled her eyes and shrugged her shoulders "I don't want to know."Jalal grabbed her shoulders gently, careful enough not to hurt her and barked at her "You have to know! I cant let you misunderstand me! I would not let you leave me for such a silly reason!" A tear slid down Jodha's eyes and she found it difficult to speak "Can't you see that I am broken? If you tell me what happened I wont be able to collect the broken pieces of me anymore." Before the tear fell from her eyes Jalal wiped it and cupped her face in his palms. "Her husband cheated on her." This left Jodha quiet signaling she wanted to hear more. A part of Jalal heaved a sigh of relief that at least she is ready to listen to him. "She came over to my office to meet me. We were very close friends back in college days."Jalal wanted to take back that sentence as he saw Jodha's face darken with this Very Close' words. He then again continued "We were meeting after ages. We were randomly discusising about the olden days in college when suddenly hugged me tightly and began to say that she lo..loves me and that's when you made the entry. But Jodha can I ask you something? Did you see me hug her?Did you see my arms around her?" Jodha looked straight up in his eyes and says with a broken voice "You didn't even stop her." Jalal shut his eyes in anguish "You ran away before anything happened! After you left, I didn't push her away from me because she was already broken, but I distance myself from her. You know what I told her?" Jodha now looked away from his piercing gaze. "I told her that I have a beautiful wife waiting for me at home and that she has claimed my heart with her name craved on it. I cannot give that heart to anyone else, now it belongs to her. I belong to her..." No words were uttered from either of them. Jodha found it hard to believe, but one look in his eyes clearly mirrored that he was telling the truth.

"Look Jodha if you don't believe me you can with me and check the CCTV footage. After you left the receptionist phoned me and told me about your arrival and departure, That instance I knew that you witnessed what happened and you would leave me.." Jodha wanted to hug him tight and touch his lips with her but the "memories" album brought her back to reality. "Jalal.. I believe you. But one thing I cant get off of my mind is that album and how harshly you behaved with me for that yesterday. I want to know what is on it that made you behave like that." Jalal withdrew his hands from her cheeks and ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated."This is very personal Jodha.. but if this issue snatches you apart from me...

I will tell you." Jodha could sense the sudden change in his tone which was filled with pain. "The girl you saw in the album is..is.. my sister..Ba.. Bak..Bakshi.."A pool of tears formed in Jalal's eyes and it was hard for him to speak further as a lump had formed in his throat. Jodha was shocked.Never had she seen him in such immense pain and she knew if he spoke further he would not be able to stay strong. She wanted her husband to stay strong and she would never want to see him devastated like this.Seeing his tears, a drop of tear escaped her eye. She slid her hands around his chest "Its alright Jalal.. You don't have to give me any expalanation anymore.. I believe you and I don't want to know more.." She nuzzled her nose in his shirt taking in his heavenly smell.

Jalal felt a burden had been removed from his shoulders and he snaked his arms around her. Both of them wrapped tightly in each other's embrace.Jalal kissed her hair and hugged her more tightly. THIS DAY was a start to their new journey.. This revalation would change the coming days for the couple as they would face the hardships and the best moments together.
