FF: Separate Journeys, EPILOGUE, Page-20 - Page 14

Dhani, you're right about JW going to chase after Bani,

She left on her own, let her come back on her own and

together they deal with their problems.

The final update was wow, not what I was expecting, but you can always continue

this story from where you finish it.

Hope to see you back soon with something amazing.

All the best and take care.

The last part I guess something is wrong. Or is it that you have left it to the readers to imagine what goes on in that head of Jai's and Bani's. Frankly I think they both have an ego of a mountain and they are going to stew over their emotions for years to gether. So please at least give us an epilogue. To see what you have planned for them.

hey hun, nice last part. U described all their emotions beautifully. Not just JB but those around them that love them, Ranveer, rano, vasu, robert and even Pia. About the ending are u leaving it open to interpretation like 'A losing Proposition'? Like when Jai finally said Masi we could assume it was to say he loves her too, or maybe he said they are destined to have separate journeys, or anything else for that matter. Epilogue would be nice, only if it can do justice to both their characters.

hey dhani

hey dhani
gr8 part.. bt hpe u write one more part.. its a bit confusing..

This can't be last part. Its incomplete.

is this the last part

Hey guys,

I know I left you all in a lurch, but I just wanted to leave it like that…the fact that jai called vasudha 'masi' itself tells a lot about what he feels for bani and that he wants her back. So, here is the epilogue… …and quite mushy too…I hope you have fun; I had great fun writing this story!! Thanks a lot for putting up with me and my endless torture (Wink)!!! Jane Austen would have killed me for doing something so drastic to her story which is always a feel-good, goody-goody one, but I turned it into a complete depressive tale of two people fighting their egos. Well, to be honest I think I am a lot like bani (delete all her blushes, I usually go red when I laugh or talk excitedly so people think I blush a lot but I don't actually), but I am sure if I love anyone (which has an almost null probability) I will not let that person live in peace, I would certainly tell him and if her rejects me, he better run for his life. He!!He!!!

Epilogue

Bani glared as she saw jai standing in front of her…flanked by masi and Robert uncle…jai couldn't flap his eyes seeing bani again…she was…she was still the beautiful bani who made him laugh…but yes, time had taken a toll on her, she looked indifferent and pale…bani blinked, to make sure that it was jai…he looked dull with an unshaven stubble…his eyes looked disoriented…

"Hey…" jai gingerly smiled at bani…but her gaze only became more cold and penetrating…

"Please sit jai…" vasu escorted him to the seating area…bani remained standing…

"What a waste Mr. Walia, you have come all the way to Canada just to get the divorce papers signed…you could have just have got it air-lifted…after all there is dread of money for you…" bani said with a slight curve of her lips…

"Jai…what would you like to have…?" vasu tried to ease down the tensed atmosphere…

"Black coffee…masi…with only a teaspoon of sugar and no milk…isn't Mr. Walia…" bani said bitterly…jai remained silent…

"In a minute…" vasu got up, returning after a few minutes only to find the three people, her husband, her niece and her niece's husband staring at three different directions…

"Here…have it jai…" vasu gave him his coffee…

"Thanks masi…" jai managed to smile…

"She is my masi…not yours…" bani said acidly…

"Bani…" vasu snapped at her…bani crossed her hands against her chest…

"We forgot to tell you bani…Robert's friend is not well, we have to go and see him, he lives in the countryside, and we are planning to spend a day there, till tomorrow evening we might not be retuning…I hope you can manage…" vasu said all in one breath…

"My friend…which…frien..." before Robert could blurt anything…vasu dragged him out with her…

"Bani…I… "Jai tossed in his seat…

"Give me the papers…get it finished…" she said angrily…

"Bani please, listen to me…" jai got up reaching her…

"I don't want to…and what is there to listen…" she glowered at him…

"I...bani please…just…"

"I tried jai…I tried to forget you…to not remember you…but I failed miserably…you don't leave me…I have lost my peace of mind, my ability to think, my zest for living…you have taken away everything…I have lost it…completely…just because of you damnit…and I hate you for this…" bani held his shirt in a closed fist…

"I never wanted you to leave…" he finally confessed softly…

"I can't mind-read jai…" bani pushed him away, stomping inside her room…

"And don't you dare follow me…" she shouted back, but jai followed her nonetheless like a puppy…he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed… clutching the edges tightly…her body was shaking, her eyes blazing…

"Why did you leave bani…?" he asked endearingly…

"Because…because you didn't stop me fool…" bani cried out, tears spilling out of her eyes…he closed his eyes…he just reached her scooping her in his arms…

"I love you…I love you a lot…I can't tell how much…" jai whispered…he felt her snuggle into him, clinging onto him with all her might…

********

"Ahh…" bani whimpered feeling his unshaven stubble as he raked his face against her cheeks…

"And why haven't you shaven, you look like those criminals who kidnap little children…" bani said pulling the sheets, covering herself properly…they had made love, it was explosive and needy, and this time they both were completely in their senses and she remembered every detail with precision…a tinge of red adorned her cheeks as she recalled what transpired a few moments ago…

"Really now…do I look that bad…" jai said huskily, dropping fervent kisses along her shoulder, tickling her waist…bani giggled…

"Stop that…jai…"

"No tell me do I look bad…" he teased her…tickling her more sending her into a fit of uncontrollable giggles…

"No…no…you are very handsome, drop dead gorgeous…and with that stubble you look even more killer…" bani said trying to hold his hand which was tickling her badly…

"That's better…" he said bringing her closer…

"Now, you should be given something for such a wonderful compliment…" he nibbled her ear…

"Well…"

"What about I take you on a world tour…" he said…

"What!!"

"A World tour…" he repeated…

"Nooo, that you can reserve when you will have grey hair and still look handsome and our children will get busy with their lives…we can go then…but as of now, just take me home…" bani looked into his eyes…jai chuckled…

"You are wonderful bani and I love you…fine we will go home…"

"Thank youu…oh I am dying to meet Tony and the children…" bani started talking incessantly in her usual animated way…jai lay back, listening with a smile playing on his lips…finally their separate journeys had become one…yes, they had taken u-turns, lost their tracks but finally found each other again on the crossroads… …Life was after all more about the journey than the destination… …wasn't it… …!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!! !!!!! Love you guys!!!!

P.P.S.: About my next FF/SS, I seriously have no idea!!! I am blank!! And I am busy too, semester exams will start in December (Have to study a mountain of syllabus, poor me, the problem is I know the concept but I hate writing pages of answers, I feel it's stupid and idiotic) and before that we will have practical and viva…(seriously, Mumbai University should be sued for harassing innocent children), so the cloud of uncertainty is looming around!!! Currently it's a relief that the cyclone hasn't hit Mumbai…these weather departments, the opposite of their predictions happens!!!!

CHOW!!!
