Chapter 20:
"Jai beta, I am very happy today. My daughter-in-law and grand son are back today. I am sorry about what I did a long time ago; I stayed angry with you for so long and that too because you could not find Bani. I had forgiven you back then when we all found out the truth, but I could not get over the fact that I had lost my Bani because of it. And somehow I had convinced myself that you were responsible for everything and I kept punishing you. I know today that it was not your fault. There were circumstances that took Bani away from us and today she is back."
Jai stared at Masi as she said this. He was glad that Masi was finally talking to him, but he could not control his annoyance over her words.
"Ek minute Masi, it was not circumstances that took Bani away. It was Tarun, the man whom I had trusted in my bad times. I had asked him to take care of Bani for me and help me get her back. And what did he do, the first chance he got, he backstabbed me. Married the woman I loved and is now calling himself the father of my son. My son Masi." with this Jai was in tears. 😭
Masi, seeing Jai break down like this, also started to cry. "Jai tumhe galat faimi hai beta. Tarun ne to bas wohi kiya jo tumne usse kaha. You asked him to take care of Bani and he did just that. When Bani needed him, he stood by her, supported her. I agree that you are not happy with the method he used, but I would suggest you give him the benefit of doubt. And if it were not for him, imagine what Bani and Krish would be going through today. We don't know if we would have even seen them today."
Jai understanding the depth of Masi's words said, "Masi, aisa mere saath hi kyon hota hain?" With this, he just walked away from there and went to his room banging the door. This sound was heard by everyone and it did not escape Tarun's notice. He saw that after waiting for a couple of minutes, Masi also followed Jai.
(I had to take Masi and Jai to some other place so that they could talk heart to heart without being disturbed or overheard. Going back a little in the past to figure out what Simi and Tarun were so busy talking about)
"Simi, I am sorry about before. Actually, Jai tried his best to instigate me and it worked. I mean I know that what I am doing is also not helping him much… but when he brought you in between I could not take it anymore. He can be mad at me, but why involve someone innocent like you."
"Tarun, its okay I understand. But why are you doing this? When it is obvious that this is causing you a lot of pain? And what were you doing pulling in Krish in your dog fight? Isn't he innocent too?"
"Simi, I want to make sure that Jai actually really cares for her. I know he did long time back, but I also know that he has changed over these couple of years. I want him to realize what he is missing before he gets it so that he is able to give Binita and Krish the love and care they deserve."
"So you are sure you want Binita to go back to him? How are you going to manage?"
"I am still very confused to tell you the truth. I haven't really thoroughly thought through this whole issue. Truthfully, I always thought I loved her; it was almost love at first sight. But then I found out that she was married to my best friend. And I decided to move on. Then this whole thing came about. She accidentally came across evidence that her husband was cheating on her with her own little sister. She was a wreck that day when she had called me. I tried to make her understand that it could be a setup but she was sure I was wrong. She had way too many things she had seen with her own eyes that supported her belief. I still tried to bring Jai and her together, because I knew how much they loved each other and that if they tried they could get this resolved. But then she had her mind made up and a few other things happened that led me to believe her…maybe I was being selfish. I don't know. And now this? I feel like a loser in all of this, almost like I did everything for my own benefit. But what causes me more concern is my reaction today. Despite having loved her for as long as I have known her, I do not feel anything, except remorse and the urge to make things right. Why is this all so confusing? Is this what love is like?"
"Well love is definitely not as easy as people would think. No wonder no one has been able to define it properly yet. But Tarun I know one thing based on what you just said, you did this all for her welfare and even what you are doing now is for her good."
"I am glad you feel so. I just hope everyone else feels that way too especially Binita when it is most needed."
"Does this mean you plan on telling her the truth?"
"Again, I don't know. Maybe if she starts remembering enough and the time is right, I will let her know. If she does question me about something and I feel she is ready to know, I will let her know. I definitely will not hide anything from her if she wants to know." 👏 (Hint Hint: JW…you should have told her everything when she started suspecting you.)
"Kisko kya sach batana hai Tarun? Simi?" their conversation was interrupted with this sudden question. 😕
