4 years before the prologue, a month after the divorce
Chapter 1
Sitting in the court house Jo begins drumming her fingernails on the conference table, she was nervous, she would be seeing Jalal for the first time in 4 months since he walked out of their lives. It took him two days after he left to finally call her, he had called multiple times but she refused to talk to him and did not listen to any of the voicemails he left, Jo was bitter, angry and upset, he walked out, did not care to even check on the children in 48 hours, then suddenly comes to his senses and attempts to reach out to her via phone, she wanted to talk to him face to face, but he never came .. he sent is mother and sister ... Jo was done, fed up being the doormat ... to be stepped on coming in and going out ... trips he made to get his sexual needs met.
Today they would be finalizing the details surrounding the divorce and child custody ... Jo was temporarily given sole custody of the children as her lawyers based on Jalal's extended frequent travels out of the country, which was a blow to Jalal and Jo knew he was going to be angry about her demands for custody and how it had played out so far ...she was both anticipating and dreading seeing him this afternoon ..
Her brother lays his hand on hers "hey, after today you won't have to see him again if you don't want except if he counter sue for custody of the children.
Jo shoots him an angry look "I'm ready to take him on Bhaisa, let him sue all he wants Jo looks at the clock, her brother follows her eyes
"Jodha, we are an hour early for the appointment, oh, by the way digs into his bag and hands her a magazine "I stopped at work and I happen to see this magazine at the reception on my way to pick you up this morning Jo takes the magazine, her eyes glaze over ...She flings the magazine across the table, tears of love, rage and hate fill her eyes ...Jalal was on the latest cover of Forbes "In the face of defeat she walks over and picks up the magazine and stares at the magnificent image of Jalal smirking at the camera ...slowly strokes the outline of his face, eye, lip, he was smiling while she was hurting ...
"Regrets Jodha? her brother's voices drags her to reality ... "you left him remember ... you took the kids and walked out of his house, so what if he sent you the divorce papers, don't sign them, force him to come and talk to you, talk to him today, I know you love him
"yeah, I walked out but it wasn't like I had a choice, I walked out only after, I left after 24 hours of him not calling or returning home... it seemed like he wanted out, he gave the impression that me and the children were a burden, an extra baggage for him to carry ... he barely spent time with us, it was like he was married to his business ... money was all that he cared for
"You didn't even hear him out Jodha"
"Yes, the hell I didn't, I waited two whole days for him to come home, call me, beg for forgiveness, instead what did he do, he ignored me and the children, he ran away from us, then calls ... when I did not answer, instead of him coming down to see me, he sent his mother and sister, and what did my MIL tell you and Maasa? I was over reacting and it was all a misunderstanding ... How dare he send his family to tell me I was over reacting? ...when I refused to talk with them, they said I was after his money ... a week later he served me the divorce papers
"alright, alright, calm down, it's your life, you have a point, I can see it, but you have to consider your children, you are lucky I'm a lawyer and know the loop holes here in India and our father has a lot of political influences, but Jalal's not going to give up easily
Jo swallows hard "well, that's why I have the best lawyer working for me Bhaisa
Jo presses a hand to her chest as a familiar throbbing sensations begins ...
"We have supported you every decision and you know how our family feels about Jala, I never liked him, he was never good enough for you, we think he married you only because you had given birth to his heir, the shock and joys of sudden parenthood, he married you for the sake of society, so he would not get blamed for bringing a child out of wedlock, we only accepted him into our family because we were honoring your choices in life
The bitterness in his voice conveyed his feelings well ...
"Thanks Baisa, with all the support I feel stronger both physically and mentally, I didn't realize to see the failures in my marriage and how it consumed my life, Expectations even in love marriage are a dangerous thing Jo shudders recalling the promises Jalal made to her .. "Jo baby, I will always keep the interests of our family in my heart and will never disappoint you, you are the love of my life she had sacrificed so much for life with Jalal, a budding career, great opportunities, she gave everything up for Jalal ... now she was ready to fight back ... move ahead in life ...
"I don't know what to say, but from my perspective, I think Jalal and you were living a life of resentment built upon unmet expectations, that is no life at all, Jo, especially where children are involved, once this is done with, get your life and priorities in order and move on
Jo pondered on what her brother told her ... Unmet expectations ... her life, her children, her education
Her day in court goes much better than she expected, Jalal had a change of heart and did not come instead sent his mother and lawyer, the Judge was tough but fair ...Jalal could call and speak to his children time and was given custody every other weekends, also since he lived out of the country he got full custody for 6 weeks every year, 4 weeks in the summer and 1 week in spring and 1 week in winter... a concession Jo made for Salim's sake, so her children would get to know and bond with their father ... Jalal was a good father after all...
Jalal's absence in court helped Jo hammer in a few more stipulations so she would not have to come face to face with Jalal ever ...being hurt and heart broken she did not want to face him ever, or have to deal with his mother, brother or sister
1 The children get picked from her parent's house every other Friday between 5 and 6pm and dropped them as the same place and time on Sunday
2. Jalal will have to pay and have all news about their relationship cleaned out from all social media and never discuss their relationship ever
3 Jalal will absolutely not make any attempt to talk make contact with her ... discussions regarding the children to be dealt via grandparents
4 Jalal to take back all the financial support offered as spousal alimony and child support
...he had sent her the divorce papers and remained silent through the whole process of the divorce, except for communicating via his lawyers, Jo was hurt and did not want his financial charity ...his money did not solve his absence in their lives ...
Reality hit her as she walked out of the courthouse to her car ... She had just ended her 3 year marriage to Jalal, at the age of 26, she had become a single mother with two children and a divorcee ... her life was in shambles ...Everyone around her were angry at Jalal for leaving, for being a selfish coward' it had been those kinds of comments that caused her to sign the divorce papers, letting herself being influenced, it was what Jalal wanted, ... If signing the divorce was the way to go, why was she feeling empty?
Later that night JO curls into a little ball and finally lets all the walls break down around her as gut wrenching sobs escapes her body, her body shakes as she sobs and mourns feeling surrounded by the memories of everything she had and everything she has managed to lose ...she wanted to be able to scream and break things but she could not, that was not an option, she was at her parent's house, and she would have to listen to her mother telling her she was being over dramatic ...Jo sobbed until it hurt to breathe and still silently sobbing when Salim walked in and comforted her in the middle of the night, he was just 5 years old, but already he was the unselfish little boy that wanted his mother to feel better not realizing that I had just shattered his whole world ... I had given up on his father without even attempting to talk to him ... he sent me the divorce notice, I signed it and sent it back to him within minutes, so easily without a fight ... still heart broken, Jo resolves to always encourage her children to have a good relationship with their father ...
"Maasa, why are you crying? his little hands wiping her tears away "I miss Abbu too, when I talked to him today, he said he is busy with work and will come home soon maasa, I feel sad when I hear you cry ..the hurt on his handsome face was hard to look at, realizing it, she pulls him into her arms, clings to him as she sobs her heart out ...how could she explain to her son that her relationship with his father had ended ...
"Salim beta, your Abbu loves you a lot, he and I will always be there for you and Jo proceeds to slowly explain to her little son about the divorce ..
He let out a sob that instantly broke her heart to a million pieces "no he cries, pushing her hands away, jumps out of her arms and out of her room ... Jo follows him and catches up with him grabs him and carries him to bed with her ... Hugs him till he stops crying, drying the tears off his face.
"Does that mean you are not coming back to our house with Abbu's? his little voiced sounding defeated
"No, beta, I don't think that's going to happen Jo hugs him closer and sighs, "oh beta, life is way more complicated that moving back to your father's house Jo knew that no matter what she said she would break her little boy's heart, but tries her best being sincere, slowly caresses his head and hair and begins her lengthy explanations ...
"but why Maasa, don't you love me anymore, is it because I went away with Abbu without doing my homework? Jo shakes her head in tears "don't you love abbu? he pouts, his voice, his expressions completely breaks her heart, how could she tell her son that his father initiated the divorce
"Of course I love your father and I always will, he gave me you and your sister, he will always have a special place in my heart, it has nothing to do with you beta, it's all grown up stuff Jo smiles knowing that was the truth, she would always love Jalal
3 months before the divorce, 5 weeks after the baby was born ...brewing problems
Jo slams her hand down on the alarm clock to stop it beeping before getting up and out of bed, sighs, looks for Jalal, as usual, the other side of the bed was empty, the only sign that he had come home last night at was the crumpled up sheet on his side of the bed and feeling raw and sore... Jo recalls him crawling into bed, reaching out for her, his rough lovemaking against her will, "Jalal, please, I don't think my stiches have healed smothering her whimpers of pain he coaxed her into submission and had his way, her first time after the baby's birth ...
Jalal ...her husband, Jo loved him but lately Jo had been feeling down, like something was missing in her life ... post partum depression ? Maybe ... His work and business has taken over his life, he facetimed daily with Salim, but had no time for her ...Jo know she should not be feeling like that, because every time he called, the baby would cry and she would have to hang up ...she could not discuss her problems/difficulties with him, when she treid to tell him about post delivery complications, he blew her off and suggested she talk to her mother or his mother ... Jo felt insulted, she could not discuss such personal issues with either parent...when she tried to talk to her mother about Jalal's lack of presence and support with her mother...
"beti, what is there to complain about?, you have every reason to be happy, you have a hard working husband, two healthy and beautiful children, and a beautiful home, lots of money to spend as you wish, you don't have to work, you have maids to help you ..."
Jo cuts her off "Yes, I have all that and more, but that's not what I want, I need my husband, I need his support, you don't get it, maasa, Jalal has changed, it's like he doesn't even remember I exist, I barely see him or talk to him, he is never home maasa, he is staying a work longer and going away on longer business trips, I know he is determined to recover his loses and is trying to build up his business, most of the time I'm alone most of the time with a sick baby, she is the opposite of when Salim was a baby
"you are his wife, you should understand him better than anybody Jodha, you know firsthand the losses he had after his divorce ... it should make you happy that he gave up so much for you and you are being ungrateful" her mom scolded and continued "behave like a grown up woman and not like a spoilt brat because your husband can't be at your beck and call, I went through the same things in life that you are facing, your father was away on business a lot, I did not call my mother and cry about it"
Her concerns fall on deaf ears ... but she suggests "maybe you should talk to Jalal when he comes this Friday for Salim's award ceremony
That's exactly what Jo did ...she walks into his office carrying the baby and finds him so caught up in his work that he did not even notice her walk in ...
"Jalal, please can we talk?
He looks up, shrugs his shoulders, walks over and takes the baby for her arms, his gaze focused on his baby, his face softens as he gently kisses her forehead and hugs the bundle into his chest with nothing but love in his eyes ...then he looks up at Jo raising up an eyebrow waiting for her to talk ...
"Jalal, I miss you, you are away a lot, I need you, the children need you, I can't be both a mother and father to Salim, I feel like you don't even remember I exist, you are either at work or some business trip and when you are home, you lock yourself up in your office
Sighing Jalal looks up at her " what could possibly be so wrong in your life that you are unhappy Jo? he rocks the baby and swaying slightly walks over to her and continues "I work damn hard every day to provide for you and the children, you have everything you could ever want, you don't even have to work at home I have provided you with two maids, I don't cheat on you, I don't bother you with my work problems knowing you are having a tough time, I long to come home and spend what little time I have with you and the children, I have made sure my mother does not bother you, your parents are your neighbors and I am a phone call away ... your days a free to do with as you please, what more do you want?
Jo watches as he grits through his teeth, clearly getting frustrated by the conversation, a tense silence settles over them as he just stares at her ...
"I don't even know why I bother Jo walks out of his office slowly shutting the door behind her ... "Jo, here, take the baby handing her the baby her pulls her into his arms, wrapping his arms around her and the baby kisses her forehead , grabs her chin and kisses her passionately
"I know I have not been there for you much after the baby was born, I've sent Mirza away, he is helping me lead the new venture start up in California ... I'm sorry babe, I miss you so much Jo, I hate when I have to leave you for work he softly says into her ear, Jo looks up at him, his eyes are full of love and passion ... Jo tries to pull away, he pulls her back into his embraces and nuzzles kissing her neck "I love you Jo, you know that right, you are the best thing that has happened to me?
Jo feels guilty ...recalls all the sacrifices Jalal has made for her, placing a quick kiss on his lips, raises her hands up caresses his cheek, "I know, Jalal, I love you too, I don't want to loose my husband to his work, you and the children are the best thing that has happened to me ...I'm sorry if I made you feel guilty about leaving us for work Jalal kisses her again deepening his kiss this time, the baby whimpers, they pull apart "I know you love you job, we will always be here waiting to welcome you back home anytime Jalal
Drama continues
Sorry guys for the delay, I just could not get my thoughts together as I was unable to recall the original story line ...my old laptop died, I tried to get it fixed to retrieve the story, unfortunately was unable to and eventually came up with something, so please forgive me for any inconsistencies in the story line
.....so we got a brief flashback in this chapter and the drama will continue in the next as well giving us insights that led to their divorce ...
