Prt 19: **Final Part**sorry ahead of time if you don't like it...**
As soon as the cigarette hit the clear liquid the room was set ablaze and drowned into a sea of red, yellow and orange colors. Ironically it was beautiful sight in front of Jai. Jai could see the flames dancing in front of his tear filled eyes. Jai knew he had nothing else to live for. Jai closed his eyes as the flames lept of the floor and began attacking his body. Dit it hurt, of course, but the pain was nothing compared to what was going on inside his heart. The last thing he remembered was the sound of someone calling out to him, and the distant sound of sirens, because after that his world went black.
-up until now the ff has been about only one day...with Jai having falshbacks...now that day is over and we have moved on to the next morning-
-----India Time (just go along with it...i don't know if it is a real news paper)
"Business Tycoon, Jai Walia, Fights for Life"
World famous business tycoon, Jai walia, lies in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at City Hospital in serious condition after receiving severe burns to his body. Nearly 80% of his body is burned with second or third degree burns. Right now the main goal of the doctors is to maintain his pain and keep him alive. Reports from insiders is that Walia is still not stable enough to even consider skin grafting surgery or any kind of surgery at this point. He is under a certain level of sedation because he has been going in and out of conciousness since he was brought to the hospital.
It is reported that his friend, Aditya Bail, had gone to Walia Mansion to check up on Walia. It can be understood that after such a hard and bitter emotional trauma Jai Walia was not in the right state of mind. Bali had decided ot check up on his friend after repeated attempts to contact him remained unsuccessful. When Bali got to the residence the home wa already engulfed in flames. A neighbor who had called the authorities, said that Bali risked his own life to go in and save his firend before it was too late.
Fire investigators have ruled this as arson, a deliberately set fire. From the investigation it is seen that there was alcohol and a ciggarette butt found in his childrens old nursery, where the fire is reported to have started. Insiders say that it is the same room that Walia was in before he was rescued by Bali. The lab technicians also say that Walias blood alcohol level was off the charts. It seems like an attempted case of suicide, had it not been for Bali who saved Walias life. Reports from Sablok & Associates, the law firm that represents Walia, are that after the death of Walias family, that his will has been changed. A leak from insiders at the law firm say that all o fhis wealth and properties, everything that Walia has will go to his firned Bali and other various charities. All signs lead to the the fact that perhaps Walia had no intention of surviving thie fire. Call it good luck or bad luck, he was saved.

All night Jai was in and out of conciousness. He knew he was in the hospital and that Aditya had brought him there. Jai was pretty sure that it was Adis voice that he heard just before he had blacked out in the fire. He knew that Adi was just that kind of friend to him. He knew that by transfering his money and power to Aditya was a good move and one he would never regret. Jai was weak, he had to fight like he** just to stay awake for a few minutes. Jai knew that people thought he had tried to commit suicide, and they werent wrong.
Jai could hear the doctors talking ot Aditya about his condition.
Dr- Mr. Bali the prognossis is not good. First there is the fact that his burns are very severe. The sooner we can get him into surgery the better, but Mr. Walia hasn't stableized for us to take him into the OR. Until his vital signs are stable there is nothing that we can do but wait, and time is not our friend. The longer we wait for this surgery and treatment the higher the chances of his wounds becoming infected and septic. With most of his body and flesh exposed he is likely to catch some other diseases and conditions. He is no form safe. And one more thing...Mr. Walia dosent seem to want to get better. We as doctors can only treat a patient so much. At some poing that patients will power and will to live come into play. Mr. Walia has no will to live, there for he is not fighting to stay alive and well. I understand that his life had turned upside down and he is not in a good place right now, but there is only so much we can do. He has to start fighting at some point or all of our attempts will remain futile.
Jai laughed to himself at the doctors words. "will to stay alive"...who was he kidding. Jai had nothing to live for and everyone knew that. First his love, his life, his soul mate was taken from him, his Bani was taken from him. He managed to move on only because of their children. Sonny and Disha had given him hope and purpose and direction; just like Bani had said they would. He had learned how to stay strong for his kids, he was all they had. He had his kids and his family who were there to support him. He thought that he would live the rest of his life for them, with their love and support. Now he didn't have that either. His entire family was taken from him in a flash. He had nothing left.
Sure he had money and power and fame. Along with that he also had pain, guilt, solitude, agony, remorse, regret and tears. His life was nothing with out love. Again he was alone, no one to call his own or to love. There was no place in this world for Jai Walia if there was no place for his family. Who would he live for now, who would he come home to...home..ha...it wasn't home...it was just a house, just a structure...not a home with love and family. Walia Mansion was just that...a mansion.
Jai just wished that Adi would be ok after he was gone. Even though Adi lived abroad, they were like brothers. Jai had only one concern and that was Adi, but he knew that Adi had his family and that they would make sure he would be ok.
Jai could feel his strength draining out of his body, he could feel his heart and soul giving up on life. Jai could see the white light that people always talked about. It was very sureal. Oddly he felt drawn to the light, like there was someone calling him from the othe side. He could feel warmth and love radiating from the light. Jai knew deep in his heart that he should follow the light.......

-----------------------------------------
A Jai walked into the light, he noticed that he was in all white. He looked around him and it looked like heaven...we so he thought. All around him was brightness, white brightness. It seemed like he was literally walking in air, on the clouds, because wisps of clouds floated all around him. He felt oddly at peace here. There was no more paina nd anguish running through his body, just calm serenity. Confused as to what would happen next Jai took a few steps forward to try and explore his new surroundings. To Jai it seemed like he had been walking for quite a while when a faint laughter caught his attention. He stopped dead in his tracks. He knew that laughter, he knew who it belonged to...but no...that wasn't possible...but wait...could it be...no...but maybe...Jai broke out into a full out run turning his head furiously tryng to locate the place where the sound was coming from. Suddenly Jai encountered a wall of white puff, clouds maybe...he wasn't sure. He was hesitant at first as to wether or not he sould cross the barrier. Then he heard the laughter again, and he knew it was coming from the other side so he had to go.
Jai stepped over the threshold and waved his hands to clear up some of the fog. When is eyes finally setteled on his surroundings he felt like he was kicked hin his guts. There she was, in all her glory. The eyes he had searched for, the laughter he had died to hear once more, the lips he had wanted to kiss one last time, the face that haunted his dreams...there she was...there was his BANI!!..She looked beautiful, and angelic just like she was, in a white sari and her maang filled with the blood red sindoor. He was so busy takin her in tht he hadnt noticed other things around him. He focused and saw that at one side of Bani stood Sonny, holding his mothers hand with a grin on his face. In her arms was Disha, looking content finally in her mothers arms. Behind them stood the rest of his family...all of them.
Jai slowly move towards them, afraid that they would disappear at any second. Bani slowly put Disha down and wispered something to Sonnys ear, and Sonny took Dishas small hand into his own. Once he was standing in front of Bani he didn't know what to do as she looked at him with a smile on her face....
B- Go ahead.
J- Huh? (it was heaven to hear her voice)
B- I know you want to touch me and make sure im real and that I wont vanish, so...go ahead.
Jai slowly raised both his hands and brought it close to Banis face but he hesitated. All of this felt so real and so right, if it was s dream and they gone when he woke up he would die. He had to do it, he had to be sure. Ever so gently Jai touched Banis cheeks. He was actually touching her, his hand was caressing the warm, smooth skin of her face. It was her, it was really her...his life was back...his Bani was really in front of him. Tears escaped his eyes as he pulled Bani into a body crushing hug. For the first time in years the tears escaping his eyes were those of joy, not sorrow. Reluctantaly he pulled back, but his hands were still on her.
J- You are real, you are really here?
B- Yes jaan...im really here.
J- How...but...oh you don't know how much I have missed you.
B- I know, because I have missed you the same if not more.
Jai leaned in and placed a kiss on the lips he had never been able to forget. At first it was soft and tender, then as if a spark the kiss turned passionate. Years of passion and love were all coming out at this one moment. Jai opened his eyes ans saw his children grinning behind them so he broke apart.
J- How is this possible?
B- Anything is possible...now that we are together again, we can all move on.
J- Together?
B- Yes together...i must say...you did a great job with the children. I really enjoyed listening to them when they talked to me.
J- You heard all that...did u hear me too?
B- Ofcourse I did...i was with u all the time...i know u felt me beside you.
J- I did...i always felt you because I had you with me right here...
Jai patted the usual pocket where he kept Banis mangalsutra, when he felt something was there. He looked at Bani confused but all she did was smile. He looke in and pulled out the Mangalsutra from the pocket. He had it with him. He smiled at it once and then put it on Bani once more...this time for good.
B- Are u ready?
J- Yes.....
Jai and Bani walked over to the children and Jai picked up Disha who let out a cute laugh as her father cuddled her chubby cheeks. Bani grabbed on to Sonnys hand with one hand while the other automatically found Jias hand. Taking one long look at Bani they moved in toward the endless path of white clouds.
Now Jai had it all. He had his Bani and his children and his family. All the pain and sorrow was filled with love and joy. He was happy and content. He finally had in death what had eluded him in life, he had love...and this time...no one could take it away from him. He was reunited with his heart, his soul, his joy, life. Odd how he had found his life once again but in death. He had his Bani...with him...hand in hand...forever...for all of eternity...Even death couldnt separate Jai and Bani...even death had lost and bowed in front of their love for eachother....never again would the part...Never.....
JANI FOREVER...and I mean FOREVER....
come day or night,
come rain or shine,
come love or hate,
come joy or sorrow,
come smiles or tears,
come life or death...
JANI will be together....from now until eternity...that is their faith...that is their hope...that is their LOVE.....
Ok people...i hope u all like this part...in the end JANI will always betogether...no matter what...i would really like ot get feed back on this...im very curious...hope I didn't bore u all with this...
JAZ
