5. The Start of a New Life
Rukaiya throw away all her stuff to the floor while shouting loudly "Jalaaalll..." and then crying profusely. She has been waiting for him since 7 to have a dinner at the restaurant but he never showed up. She waited and waited until the servants told her that they have to closed. She went home and take out all her frustation and anger.
"Jodha...it must be her...it must be because of her...I won't let you go this time" she said indignantly, try to calm herself and take her phone to call someone but not appointed.
She try one more time "come on...pick it up Maham Anga...pick it up" but it still unappointed. Feeling the peak of anger, she cast away the phone to shreds.
--------------------------------------------
The wind blowing gently and the weather is soothing. It's 11 pm. The dark night outside accompanied by the shining stars. It's so quiet and peaceful for everyone but not for the two soul who are busy with their own thought and feelings.
Jalal feel very confused about the new things happened. He remembered about the video that showed Jodha and Surya together in bed and how he caressed and stroked her covered body. And then the message and the letter. If that was a lied, then why she never intended to tell him the truth. He can't understand everything. Sitting on the bed, he feel restless, confused, and also guilty.
Jodha wipes her tears. She cried silently. She cried with mixed feeling, the pain, love, anger, confused, shamed, and guilty, they all played in her mind. She feel angry for what just happening but she also feel shamed for her body that had betrayed her, giving response to his passion. She still lay on the bed with her back facing him, wrapped herself with the white bed cover. Both just keep silence for long time.
Jalal came near her, leaned down and touch her shoulder "Jodha..." he can't continue his words as he didn't know what to say. "Jodha...I..I apologize for what just happening...I..." take a deep breath he continue "I don't know what exactly happen between us...I mean...you know in the past...what exactly happen Jo?" Jalal asked.
Jodha just keep silence. She still feel pain in her lower abdomen. She could not understand how he could ask such a thing after what happened just now.
"Jo, I know you haven't sleep yet..." Jalal asked her again while still touch her shoulder and arm.
She doesn't know how to react. The feeling of his touch, his kiss, his caress still throbbed in her body. She can't think clearly now.
"Jo...please say something" Jalal plead softly.
Hearing his softly voice suddenly Jodha feel angry and disgusting... "As I remember, you don't have a term which say that I must answer your question" jodha said scathingly.
"but Jo..."
"don't forget, I belong to yours for 12 hours. Enjoy the time...or...you have finished with me? Have you feel satisfied yet?" Jodha said sarcastically with tears start to fall again to her cheek.
Jalal doesn't know what to answer. Of course he feel satisfied, but only in sexual context. And still, he crave for her intimacy, but it's imposibble to think about it now. Their state too complicated to solve. Maybe it is too late for this two soul to mend the broken relationship.
Jodha try to get up but the pain on her lower abdomen aching "Aaahhh..." she scream weakly while hold her stomach.
"Jo..what's happen Jo? Is it hurt? Oh my God...did I hurt you?" Jalal abruptly hold her arm..."Oh God...I was too rough" jalal thought.
Jodha caught a glimpse of guilt in his eyes but she ignored it "I need to use bathroom" she said trying to walk slowly.
"come sweetheart...I'll help you" jalal hold her waist try to help her to the bathroom.
Get a little surprised hearing the word sweetheart, jodha feel a little bit hesitant. "No, I can do it by my self" she refused his help. But Jalal still insist on.
They both walk to the bathroom. When they got in front of the door, both feeling awkward. "I...I...I'll leave you here..I'll wait outside...just..just call me when you need something." Jalal said.
Jodha just nod and enter the bathroom...there she cried again and again silently until she felt tired.
After 10 minutes
Feeling weakly she went out from the bathroom. Soon she came out, jalal who wait outside the door immediately hold her shoulder to help her walk. "come Jo, I'll help you" he said.
Too weak and tired to resist, she let him hold her and help her to the bed.
He laid her down and covered her with the blanket then he sit on his side. He wants to embrace her badly, but he thinks it's not the right choice for now.
"Jodha...I am sorry for what happening between us..I am truly sorry...honestly, I don't know what to say..I know you must be hurt for what I've been done and I feel guilty for that" Jalal inhaled deeply as a heavy burden on her shoulder.
Jodha just keep silence. She doesn't know what to answer. She doesn't want to think about it either. She's too tired. Slowly sleep has taken over her and she fall into deep sleep.
---------------------------------
The birds chirping merrily. The sun has been rised as the morning has came, leaving all the darkness behind, giving a new hope for everyone, but not for Jalal. He didn't know how he would face her after the last night incidence. He really didn't know. He feel restless and he didn't sleep for whole night. He stood up and saw a dry blood on the bed sheet as proof that his allegations was wrong all this time. He take his phone and see 50 misscalls. 35 times from Rukaiya, 10 times from her mother, and rest from Abdul. Then he remembered that he had a promise to have a dinner with Rukaiya. Just ignoring about it, he walk out from the room.
Jodha open her eyes slowly. She need time to remember that she was not in her place and what had happened last night. Seeing the watch, it's 7 am. She look around and find no one in there. "maybe he has gone" she thought and see the money bag on the table. Remember the surgery schedule she walk rushly to the bathroom.
After some time she finished her bath and wear a bath robe then remember that she don't have any clothes to wear except the red gown. "how can I go to the hospital with that gown" she thought. Closing the bathroom door when suddenly Jalal enter the room and saw her in bathrobe. Again, both feeling awkward. They just stare each other for some minutes then Jalal break the silence.
"I have bought you some clothes to wear" he said while give her a bag paper.."you can wear it, I'll wait outside..oh, the breakfast also ready...you can eat..."
"No, you don't need to go out, I'll change in the bathroom...don't bother yourself..and you...you can eat your breakfast..I don't want to eat" She said in one go and walk again to the bathroom.
After changing her clothes, she walk out, take the money bag and walk to the door.
"Jo, ...you need something to eat" said Jalal
"No, I must go now, my mother will have a surgery this morning" she said without looking at him.
"Jo, please..." he keep insist.
"Enough!! Enough with your command, Sir..yours 12 hours has been end and our deals has finished...and now I'll go" Jodha said with a high tone.
"All right...all right..I'll take you to the hospital"
"I said NO..."
"But Jo...you bring a lot of money...someone can robbed you"
"No need to worry..I'll get a taxi" saying that she walk quickly from there as she doesn't want to argue anymore.
-------------------------------------------------
Driving his car, Jalal try to recollect all his memory regarding the past incident but failed to find the truth. "oh my God...what should I do...where I should find the truth...I have accused her blindly ...I did mistake...big mistake" he though when he remember something and take his phone out.
When he was about to call someone, his phone rang. It's from ammijan.
"yes, ammijan"
"Jalal beta...where are you from? You didn't go home last night...I called Abdul but he also didn't know" his mother said.
"I am fine Ammijan... No need to worry...i just have something to do"
"Well..ok Jalal..don't work too hard dear...take care your helath...you should find someone who can take care of you"
"Ammijan, please...I can take care myself..I just don't want discuss about it now..." Jodha's face flash in his mind.
"oh by the way Jalal..last night Rukaiya called me asking where you are...she sounds worry about you" hamida said hope he will decided soon about his love relationship with Rukaiya.
Jalal cursed Rukaiya for always involved her mother in their relationship "yes ammijan, I'll call her later"
"ok..bye then dear"
"bye ammijan"
Hung up the phone, he dialled Abdul's number telling him to meet him at his office.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Jodha directly take care of her mother for operating purposes. Not long after, her mother get into the operating theather and Jodha pray that the operation going smoothly.
-------------------------------------------------
Jalal's office
"What's happening Jalal? Is there something wrong?" Abdul looked at Jalal's face full of gloom and confusion.
"Geez Abdul Bhai...I don't know what happens to me...I don't understand anything..." answered Jalal while covered his face with his palm. "Look Abdul, I was act like a jerk last time we meet...I am sorry for saying that thing...I.." he try to apologize to his best friend.
"never mind Jalal...I've already forgive you...I know you're a different man whenever it is related to her...in fact, I feel pity for both of you" Abdul cut him inbetween.
"Forget about it Jalal...forget about all your anger and revenge...think with a clear mind..all you need to do is think forward...don't let the past haunt yourlife" the best friend try to suggest.
"yes Abdul, you're right...but still, I must know what the truth...what exactly happen 3 years ago.."
"and what can we do to know the truth about that?" asked Abdul without intending to find out what his friend had just experienced.
Felt enlightened, he said quickly"The college Abdul...yes, the college. I want you to come to our college and ask them what happen 3 years ago after the incident"
"Ok..."
"and I want you to hire someone to get the information about her life start from 3 years ago...what's happen to her...her family...everything...and I want it in detail" he said
"Ok then I..." said Abdul
"and Abdul..." he inhaled deeply "I want you to find Surya..I don't know how, but I want to know where he is...and after you find him, bring him to me" he said that with a determinant in his voice.
"All right Jalal...all right...I'll do it all..now try to relax ok...please, don't push yourself" he said with concern and walk to the door.
"Abdul?"
He turn around and said "Yes, Jalal?"
"Thank you very much...thank you"
Abdul just nod and smiled.
------------------------------------------------
It's been almost 2 hours. Jodha still wait outside the operation theather. He feel very worried with her mother. She keep pray continously for her mother when suddenly the doctor come out.
"doctor...how's my mother?" she asked with shaken voice
Seeing a beautiful lady but full of sorrow in her eyes, he wondered how much this lady had been suffered. "your mother is all right, dear...the operation is success..and now we'll move her to the ICCU for maybe 2 days, after that she'll move to the ward as about 1 week...and if she totally fine, then she can go home...so, no more worried ok" the doctor said tapping her shoulder.
"Thank you doc..thank you very much" she said with tears start to trickle down.
He smiled and leaved from there.
"dear God...I know you'll hear my pray..thank you God...thank you...I know you'll never leave us..you'll always help us" she prayed. She take her phone and text abdul.
"Good afternoon Sir. Can I ask permission one week off from the office? My mother has been operated and I must take care of her.
Then she got the answer
"yes you can Jodha..and we;ll give you two weeks off from the office. No need to worry"
"why they give me two weeks" she said almost to herself "is that his decision?" she thought but then choose to ignore it.
Meanwhile Jalal read Abdul's message about Jodha's request and ordered Abdul to give her more time to take care her mother. "I'll fix everything Jo...I will fix everything between us" he whispered to himself.
-------------------------------
Time passes quickly. It has been two days since her mother get operated and now she has moved to the ward. Jodha try hard not to remember about that night with Jalal, but the more she try to forget, the more she remember it. She remember how her body react to his touch and she get confused after all the things she experienced, she still in love with him.
"Dear Lord...please...make me forget about him...I don't want get hurt anymore..." she pray...
Jalal feel restless. It has been two days he didn't see her. Only God know how he miss her badly. After that night, how he eagerly want to swept away all her sorrow, how he want to make his and live happily. He feel extremely guilty. Tears start fall on his cheeks..."Oh God,, what have I done to her...what have I done...Jodha..." he whispered.
While driving his car to the hospital, he remember what Abdul had told him this morning.
Flashback
"Jalal..she was evicted from the college. The video had been spread all over the college and they din't want their reputation get ruined by that, so they throw her out and she never finished her education at college. And her society did the same...they forced her family to move from their house, even they almost burned their house...so they moved to other places, but since that, his father got sick thinking about her. He can't work properly. And one day, he got heart attack and died. Since that Jalal..." Abdul take a deep breath as he afraid his friend will get broken.
"since that, Jodha and her mother live in difficulty. They lacked of money, you know, they're not rich family. His father was juat an employee at a small company...she struggled hard to keep survive..and...and she work hard for that. She had been a housemaid, a shop keeper, a babysitter, even sometimes she also helped her mother selling cakes...you know Jalal...live is so hard for her...they had been evicted from their homes because they can't pay the rent...there's rarely companies accept employees who only graduated from High School until...until I find her CV when she applied for job at our new branch...I feel sorry Jalal.."
