Chapter 32:
After a lot of arguments, Tarun had finally succeeded to convince Bani to give Jai a chance. Bani, however, managed to condition this agreement by not letting him tell anyone in the family about her recovery, including Jai.
thanx god maan to gayi to give JW a second chance.
The next day was like any other normal day for everyone. They spent the morning finishing the household chores, laughing, chit-chatting and spending time with each other. No one had any inkling that Bani was trying her best to behave as she did yesterday before her memory had returned.
The only person who seemed a little more lost than usual was Krish. He seemed to have checked every room in the house at least a few times as if looking for a lost toy. Assuming that he had misplaced his favorite tweety toy, Bani finally followed him to help him find it. However, she was in for a big surprise when she saw Krish enter Mr. Walia's room. Once in there he walked around checking out the balcony and the bathroom, calling out for his papa.
Bani could not hold back the tears. Her little boy who had just met his biological father was already so attached to him. Its true then, blood is thicker than water; she thought and then grimaced as another unpleasant thought crossed her mind.
how sweet that krish has started missing his biological father even just after association of few days and is trying to find him in different rooms. my heart goes to him. bani control ur mind and don't let negative energies took over u.
Once she looked around the room, she noticed the striking resemblance this room had to her bedroom in WM. No wonder she had felt such a pull to this room and the man in the room not to long ago. On the bed lay the sari she had worn to the temple the other day. She remembered how Mr. Walia had once told her she looked good in pink and had asked her to wear this saree. This thought brought a smile to her face and she lightly hit her head. And here she was telling the world that Tarun likes her in pink (she blushed as she had some Kekta style flashback)
------
The afternoon took Bani to the room where she had first realized her truth…the study. Once there she could not help but reminisce all the different memories attached to the pictures in the room. The more she saw this, she was sure that she made the right decision, even though it was at Tarun's insistence. If a man took so much care to preserve her memories, he deserved to have himself heard.
so bani has started her jasoosi again. hope outcome will be positive.
Silent tears left her eyes as she sat there till God knows what time. She had completely lost every sense of time or place at this point. All she knew was that she loved the man she was once married to and she could not be the reason to give him more hurt. She was brought out of her reverie when a hand placed itself lightly on her shoulders.
She knew that touch, without looking up she knew who it was. A slight shiver of anticipation passed through her body. She tried to look away in order to wipe her tears and block the new once that threatened to fall but another firm hand held her chin. As she slowly lift her lashes, fearing what her eyes would meet, she saw those beautiful chocolaty eyes staring back at her; the eyes she once wanted to drown in.
so still from feel able to identify him this is the thing they share
Jai moved his hand from her shoulder and using his thumb wiped away her errant tears. Tarun had called him earlier today and asked him to return as soon as possible. Jai was unsure what could have happened and fearing the worse had left everything and taken a charter flight to Mt. Abu. Once home, Tarun whisked him away before the family could question him and shoved him into the study with a puzzling sentence. "This is your chance buddy…just don't mess it up" he had said.
As Jai entered the room and saw Bani on the couch clutching something in her hand and crying uncontrollably, his heart leapt out. This was not what he was expecting. A feeling deep in his chest told him that his life was going to change forever today.
Bani tried to open her mouth to say something, to explain her self, to make an excuse. Jai however was much quicker than her, his hand covered her mouth, and his eyes pleaded her to let him do the talking.
"Aaj nahi Bani…aaj meri baari hai. Please, mujhe bolne do…I have been waiting for this day for almost 2 years now and had infact lost all hope at one point. Now that I have this chance I am not going to let anything come in my way…please let me speak…"
at last he got courage to speak up everything, hope bani will be able to understand his POV.
Blinking her eyes, Bani gave him the go ahead, unsure if he was even asking her.
"That engagement, it was not true. I was never engaged to Pia, it was" Noticing her eyes go wide at the mention of Pia's name he stopped.
"Let me start from the beginning Bani. You remember the night when you came back to me in Dubai; I was completely broken that day. My lawyer had called and told me that you wanted a divorce as soon as possible. He even couriered me the papers so that I could sign them right away. I did not know what to think at that time. Plus I was still mourning the loss of our child. Jigyasa had me convinced that you had aborted our child and no one else clarified it for me until it was too late Bani. I tried to drown my pain in alcohol again.
Under influence I even hit Pia and she fell unconscious. After a while when I realized what I had done, I went back to her room to check on her. She was fine, but I wasn't. I was feeling dizzy from all the alcohol. I did not understand what had gotten into Pia that night; she kept throwing herself on me, claiming to love me. I don't remember anything from that night Bani, I swear. All I remember is waking up in the middle of the night to find Pia in the same bed as me. And when I entered my room, I saw you there; looking so pretty dressed up like a bride that you never got to be. I felt like my life had come back to me.
However, once back from Dubai, I tried to make it clear to Pia that I did not mean anything to happen between us, but she would not relent. She suddenly turned obsessive and to make matters worse Jigyasa found those dar* photographs and started blackmailing me. I am so sorry Bani, I wanted to tell you all, but was afraid of losing you once again. I just could not get myself to do that, you meant the whole world to me and I could not afford to lose you.
And then, one fine day you were gone. Pia took it as her chance to establish herself as my wife and with Jigyasa's help announced our engagement in the papers. All this while, I was frantically trying to get in touch with you. Tarun had promised me that he would try to bring you back to Mumbai so that I could explain myself. I wasn't paying any attention to the world around me and they took advantage of that fact.
I threatened both Pia and Jigs with dire consequences and for the next couple days everything seemed to be going fine. But then suddenly Tarun and you disappeared. I came to Mt. Abu to see if you were still there but I could not trace you guys. I was completely devastated. My will to live had given away, but I knew I had to respect your wishes. So I decided to accept Pia's child. I would never have been able to accept her that I was certain, but the child was innocent in all this.
And then the most unexpected thing happened. You remember the lady who had won the Dubai project, she was my father's mistress and Nachiket is their son. I am guessing Tarun already told you about that. Well, we found out that she was behind my father's mysterious death and when she was being tried for murder, in her vengeance she had blurted out Jigyasa's involvement in the whole thing. Can you believe it Bani; my own sister hid my father's murderer for the sake of money?
This started a chain of events in the family, Jigyasa was disowned by all, the truth behind your divorce and alimony claim, your miscarriage and everything came to the forefront. When her own sons did not side with her, she was broken and in her final attempt to redeem herself, she told everyone that Pia was not pregnant but was faking it to get me to marry her.
My whole world shattered that day. I did not know who I should trust. And as if to make matters worse, Karun showed up after a couple of days. She was shocked to see my engagement news and had come to India to divulge some very important information about what happened in Dubai. She told us that she had seen Pia mixing some drugs in my drink and she had proof of it.
At this point Pia found herself cornered. All her plans had failed. She finally admitted that the whole thing was her doing. She said that you did not love me and did not care about me. And she was herself repenting her decision to choose Pushkar over me. And so seeing this as her chance to turn things in her favor, she setup the whole situation in Dubai. Nothing had happened at all; in fact I had passed out in her room taking your name. She then setup cameras in the room in order to get some footage which she could use later use if needed.
Unfortunately, she did not fare well after her confession. She lost her mental balance and has been in an asylum ever since. I am sorry Bani, but I could not get myself to even look at your sister after all this, let alone try to help her.
Anyways, her admittance had eased my guilt, but your loss was eating up the family. No one could find it in themselves to live in WM after all this and everyone moved away in order to ease out the pain of losing you. That's my story Bani; I just hope you believe me." Jai stopped pacing and looked at Bani expectantly hoping to get some sort of a response
During this entire monologue, Bani had not said anything. She was too busy following Jai's words and frantic pacing around the room. Pia's actions left her speechless, where did I go wrong in raising her, she wondered.
Seeing her quite like that, no reaction on her face, her eyes devoid of all emotions, Jai did not know what to do. He again sat down in front of her and forced her to look at him.
"Bani…please kuch to bolo…tumhari khamoshi mujhe dara rahi hai. Do you think you can find it in your self to forgive me? Please talk to me Bani…I cannot take your silence, if you don't talk now, I don't know if I will be able to survive…"
so sweet of bani to hear all this peacefully and her reaction to words about not being able to survive proves that she is still in very much love with JW and loves him and only him.
This did the trick. Like a typical Indian nari, her hands stopped Jai from completing his sentence. Tears started to roll down her tears as she mumbled apologies. She asked for his forgiveness for what Pia did to him, for what she did to him, for hiding everything from him and then running away when their relationship had faced the real test of life.
thanx god she asked for forgiveness for pia's doing and not like in real ks she is so confused about the situation.
Today they had realized that if not for their obstinacy and pride, they would not have been at this stage in life. Their love towards each other was true, but they did not know how to voice it. Had they taken care to build their marriage on trust and communication, they would have never reached this juncture in life. And it was up to them now to either take this realization as a lesson to build the life they deserved together, or let their weakness win again and move on in life.
rivs i believe that they did have trust but without communication that lead to fall of their relationship and hope now as they have learned a great lesson in life there won't be no other time of mistrusting, miscommunication and no place for misunderstanding.
rivs dear epilogue is really needed as i want remarriage of JB and BT divorce soon.
so please continue soon.
I am sorry if this part disappointed anyone...love you all...Rivya😕
nahin yaar this was very interesting part and don't say like this 😡
