Bani’s Justice- the Process, not the Outc

The leap is around the corner, mid December it seems. Bani will come to know about the ONS and JW being the papa of Pia's kid. (I don't think JW has done anything or that he is the papa of canine's litter.) But for quite some time, Bani would be believing JW to be guilty of adultery and incest. So what should Bani's treatment of JW be? To begin with, my advise wouldn't be binding on Bani nor am I too concerned about what punishment she dishes out to JW. So what am I interested in. That she answers a few questions before she makes up her mind.

  • Should she really believe in the ONS or should she wait for some more evidence, a DNA test for instance? After all, JW was too drunk to remember what happened that night and Pia could well be lying to lay her hand on her jeeju. And remember there is a past history- JW's evidence on the PR raaz was fatally flawed as he was himself not aware of the full facts of the case. So should she make up her mind on JW's statement or Pia's testimony or Jigs recording alone?
  • Should she give JW a fair hearing or is his crime so big that she just needs to dish out a summary sentence without hearing his version/explanation?
  • If she believes that JW is guilty, what punishment would be fair for JW, a temporary separation, a divorce-life long separation?
  • Does she think that her own conduct as a wife has been responsible for JW's behaviour and should be used to excuse him or lightening his sentence?
  • Does she believe that the shoddy treatment meted out to him by her family (ND, Kiran, Pia, Pushky) be treated as extenuating factors? The fact that she left him during the PR raaz which led to the chain of events which culminated in the ONS/the guilt that JW had to carry needlessly for 7 years be set off against her intended punishment for JW? And should the love that he has had towards her be viewed as a redeeming factor?
  • Or rather that his guilt is compounded by his other misdeeds- ill-treating Bani and Rano in the initial days of the marriage, his persecution of P-P which was partly responsible for the breakdown of his marriage, his constant secrecy from her on matters like PR raaz, ONS, Barnali etc. And that mere separation is not punishment enough for his crimes?
  • If she does leave him, should she stay within striking distance so that in case JW is found to be innocent they can be back together? Or should she go so far that he can't trace her back.?
  • And how would she react if at some point of time it is proved that JW was innocent. Would she consider herself guilty for mistrusting JW? Should she apologise to him and what punishment if any (apart from her own conscience of course) would she consider justified for herself in case JW is acquitted?

I do not wish to dictate any of her answers, it will be sufficient for me if she ponders over these questions and then arrives at her final judgement. In short I am interested more in the integrity of the Process by which she arrives at her conclusion not so much in the Outcome of her thinking.

Rgds,

Priyanka

PS: Of course, if JW prefers Pia and her puppy to Bani or expects Bani to accept the child then she should walk out on her marriage without any second thoughts.

Priyanka,

Are you serious? This is Bani we are talking about. She will think Jai is the sole person at fault that led her bholi bhali dudh ki dhuli sister down the path of sin. She will forget everything good he has ever done and solely blame him. In her list of priorities it is
1. dead mother
2. dead father
3. pia
4. rano
5. tony
6. the street cleaner
7. jai walia

and she is the architect and student of the process called shoot first and question later (if at all)

Meghna,

You are absolutely right. When she finds out the "truth" she will pack up her bags ( as to how any lady's effects fit into one suitcase, don't ask me), hail a cab and just disappear into thin air.

I was just penning down my wishlist.

Rgds,

Pri,bani will never forgive jai nor pia.When PR raaz came out,jai told her many times it was an accident but still she didn't forgive him and held him responsible for her family's bad days as if jai ruined her father.How can u expect bani to forgive jai for the ONS?I think pia will add more fuel to the fire by telling her jai loves her and he is only fulfilling his duty as a husband to her.I think bani will never give chance to jai to talk abt the ONS.She will just give her judgement.What do u think,Pri?

Pri, I would first and foremost like her to realize what her sister's reality is - the selfishness, backstabbing and shameful behaviour. Then there is the fact that she committed adultery as she was still very much legally married to Pushkar at that time.

As regards her punishment to JW all the points you have mentioned require a lot of processing and logical thinking. When Bani comes to know about the ONS she will be too emtionally traumatized to process so much information immediately. Her emotional fragile state coupled with the possibility of Pia's child being JW's and her being aware of JW's desperation to have a child will make her leave without talking it through with him.

She may give the two of them a blasting before she leaves but a lot will depend on how the ONS stand comes out. Will it be just between JW, Bani, Pia and the person who brings it out or will it be in front of the whole family and Pushkar? If it is a public show (which I fear is going to be the case) then it would be utter humiliation for both her and JW. Also the person who brings it out is definitely going to give a distorted version of the whole thing. I am not going to refer to Pia as she is totally shameless. She is going to take full advantage to get her hands on JW and thus not help JW's case at all.

So the action Bani takes will depend on a lot of factors and how these factors play out with each other.

Hope what I have said makes some sense.........

For Bani, it is the issue of being caught in the middle with the love of her life and her love for her sisters. She will have to be torn to whom she believes, but in this case even Jai doesn't even know exactly what happened that night. Bani may not even want to hear what the truth is, and once she hears what happened, she will most likely just run away. She will take it for what it is, with no DNA test nothing. Pia will claim this child as Jai's and he will not be able to deny it.

The question is, how can be prove what happened in fact didn't happen? He cannot. There is no proof except for the truth that Pia only knows. Her psycho-ness will keep her from spilling the truth to Bani. As for Jai mistreating Bani, she never refers back to that, and never has- not even when the PR Raaz had come out.

She will feel guilty when she finds out he is innocent (and I used "when" on purpose). But for even Jai, it will be a sigh of relief to find out he is innocent and he will be empathetic to her feelings through this ordeal, because even he doesn't know what happened.

In Bani's mind it seems like the PR Raaz is out of the question now. The fact that she was trying to save his property is at the forefront, and she will maintain that guilt with her that she had to drive him to that point. But to some extent I don't think she will blame herself completely for that, because she knows that he remained a loyal husband even when he mistreated her.

I agree that if this fact turned out to be true, then she will never be able to forgive either Pia or Jai. It would be too difficult for her to face either of them, especially considering how much she has given up for both of them over time.

Pri,

I want bani to leave the WM as soon as possible, i can't stand that woman, even after she finds out the ONS didn't happen my baby shouldn't accept her. I want her to suffer her entire life, for the pain she caused my baby for the past couple of months.

As for Pia, she should find a rich HOT doctor at the gynaec when she is going, settle down with him, live happily ever after.

Pushky can go be bani's puppy.

and My baby, away from the dixit sisters, because it is evident, Sahil and rano's divorce is around the corner.

Lets say JW does have a paternity test ..and the child is Pushkars ..it still does not mean that j and P didnt have the ONS .
as i said on some other thread -whatever has happened to Bani she has bought it on herself via her Banigiri practices.and lately she is back to her snooping and sleuthing .sudhregi nahi woh .hats of to JW he still Loves her . he is no monk from some monastery where he practiced celibacy and took -meditation for dummys 101- to handle lonliness , desperation,confusion, agony etc silently ,calmly without going insane

I dont care what she does with Pia but JW ..i dont know ..i can understand his desire for a child ..but at what expense ..? Bani's Love and his marriage to Her ..?
obviously he is torn between The unborn child and Love for Bani .
Thats what life is all about making tough decisions . But what is the role of a spouse . ?
I want jw to Tell Bani seriously Not in a Dream That he LOVES HER ad wants to spend the rest of his Life with her
Confess about the ONS and the Baby .
allow her to make her decision .
JW should tell Bani he will accept the child give it his Name But Not accept Pia and that he and Bani will be the Parents of Pia's child coz thats what he wants .
If Bani still wants to Leave Then so Be it .
If this was me ..in Bani's Place .. I would stay on ..coz Hubby said he loves me ..and The circumstances during which the ONS occured ( divorce, PR RAAZ. etc ) were bought about by ME . Whats Important is That Hubby wants to be with Me and our marriage .

Klue,

Obviously if JW is divided between Pia/child and Bani, then Bani should quit asap. The question of her taking time to make her decisions arise if and only if JW decides unequivocally that he wants Bani and Bani alone in her life.

(If this was me ..in Bani's Place .. I would stay on )

Me, too. Iff I was his only choice.


Pinky,

(she will be too emtionally traumatized to process so much information immediately. )

OK. She can take refuge at her fave hangout Shukla Co. guesthouse and take time to make he decision.
