Sahil & Jai's confrontation! 😳
Chapter 11
Bani was stable and the doctors were trying the nurse had told him. 'what do you mean trying dammit, I want results, and nothing but positive results. Cool down Jai, whats all this anger for, hold on, nothing will happen to Bani, there are so many unresolved issues and without her you cannot do it. Nothing will happen to Bani!"
Sahil: bhaia?
Jai: ha Sahil come in, pulling his chair and seating himself infront of his brother
Sahil: I am so sorry bhaia, because of me you are facing this situation.
Jai: its done Sahil, why do i have a feeling i got a very wrong picture of you that night, i understood the situation wrong.
Sahil looked at his brother, "oh bhaia i dont even remember what i said, i am so sorry!"
Rano and I met at the convention 2 years something ago in Germany. She was there on a modeling assignment and I was there making sure that the bids our company was sending went through. It was an instant attraction. Rano was alone, independent and very different from the many girls I had known. She didn't care for me or what I was and didn't even look at me. I knew she was the one.
Sahil bent his head down looking at the floor. Jai knew that feeling, when you find her, you know that there isn't anyone else like that.
Jai: phir kya hua Sahil?
Sahil looked at his brother shattered, you could tell he had tears in his eyes, yet he wasn't crying. "I had a problem, whenever I was too stressed out I looked at drugs to soothe my tensions out." Jai looked at his brother for the first time, "why didn't you tell me this business this was too much on your shoulders Sahil?"
Sahil: it wasn't bhaia, I guess I was just hanging around with the wrong crowd until I met Rano. Slowly I didn't have to rely on that anymore and things were getting better. I know I wasn't perfect and very much a ladies man but after meeting Rano, everything was changing and slowly I started to fall in love. We moved in together when we got to India and did a registry marriage that none of you knew about.
Jai looked at his brother with a very serious look, this was more messed up that he had thought. Rano was Sahil's wife, his wife's sister was his brothers wife. What a small world. "phir, what happened Sahil."
Sahil: months being together Rano was changing, she was sick more often, never in the mood to go partying, certain things she liked, she didn't like no more. It was as if the Rano I had married was slowly dissppearing. I ended up going to functions alone, going to parties alone and meeting other people. She was always moody, sick in the mornings and always on my case for not being there. I didn't know what to do. I was heading back to my old ways again. "and," bending his head in embarrassment "I now realize that I was getting myself addicted to drugs" "i was addicted to drugs!"
It must have been around Christmas shopping when she saw me some of my other girl friends at the mall and had approached me. I had a busy schedule for the day and had to leave her without really giving any explanantions. Rano had come home in a rage, she was so angry when I got home.
Rano: Sahil you have to stop this!
Sahil: stop what Rano, taking of his tie, here we go again he thought, same old drama!
Rano: stop all this that you are doing, you know you are a married men, walking around town with some other single chick is not the thing to do! Especially when they are not business acquaintance!
Sahil: oh pahleez! would you spare me the lecture, its nothing like that, they are just friends and we were meeting for lunch.
Rano: lunch?
She was so mad; she had just gotten back from the doctors finding out what the bloody hell was wrong with her. She had been so happy, running to the mall like a crazy girl getting a surprise gift for Sahil so that she could surprise him, only to outlive her excitement by seeing him with some other woman, hovering over his arm as if she would eat it up. .
Her happiness had just drowned in depths of sorrows and to make matters worse, he now tells her that they were friends. He had time to meet friends for lunch but not go to the doctor's appointment with her.
Rano: your friends? You think leaving your wife behind saying "I have a very important meeting in the next few minutes, I will see you at home!" makes your wife happy especially finding out now that they were mere friends. You had time for your friends but not me. Her hands flying to her chest not believing this!
Rano: this is it Sahil, these are the immense happiness you promised me, the happiness that you were willing to shower on me. The love, all those promises? Is this the way to fulfil them?
Sahil had taken a cigarette out and started smoking: Rano would you please leave me alone, as it is I have so much on my mind. I wasnt the only one who made promises that day? He was getting tired of this every day!
RAno: excuse me for caring, and please when have you started smoking. Going forward and taking the cigarette in her hands and actually tossing it. "oh my God, Sahil?" this is not just cigarette, how long have you been on this?
Sahil had been really mad at this point: what difference does it matter to you, why don't you go on being the mean, moody selfish person you have been the past few weeks. Why do you all of a sudden care Rano?
Rano had stared back at him. So much for supporting your wife, how was she going to tell him that she had found out the reason for acting in such a manner, that it was something beyond her control. That her hormones had been crazy the last few weeks and this was because she was 3 months pregnant.
Rano: I love you Sahil!
Sahil: yeah I see that Rano, we havnt even been married a year and we are living the life of a 40 year old couple, this wasn't the ideal marriage plan I had Rano, when have we been intimate the last time?
Rano had always had a problem with her anger, and at this stage of her pregnancy her doctor had told her to take it easy and not stress over anything. So much for not stressing, her husband was causing the exact same thing.
Rano: marriage is just not about being intimate Sahil!. Hands in fists on each side of her she looked at him not believing him. She had finally figured that he had been on drugs for a while acting the way he was but if was thinking that as well what more can she do.
Sahil: well it plays a very important part. Whats wrong with him, why is he saying all this?
Rano: and what if someday I get pregnant and am not able to physically fulfil your male desires Sahil?
Sahil: children, babies, Sahil had laughed, please RAno, we cant handle our marriage how are we going to handle an infant?
That had hurt Rano, she wasn't hoping to hear such an answer. Maybe that decision she made to marry him wasn't the best one, but what can one do when they are in love. You only see good things in love, no matter how bad a person does it always seems good to you.
At this point Rano couldn't control her emotions anymore: is that how you really feel Sahil? That our marriage is a sham? That we cannot handle it.
Sahil hadn't liked the way the conversation was going but it was there now "you know I didn't mean that honey?" he had come closer but Rano had moved back, "no you stay there, a hug and a kiss will not solve everything?"
Rano: havnt I loved you even though I know how much addicted you are onto your alcohol and drugs. Sahil had looked in shock at Rano to which Rano had replied "oh yes Sahil I know, I know you have been on that for sometime now," "being the stupid romantic I alwaz I thought I might be able to change that, but nahi,"
Sahil: well than maybe we weren't supposed to be together. he didnt have the patient for all this!
Rano: yes maybe not, if that's how you feel I am not going to stay here trying to justifying my feelings and actions to you, I will leave.
Sahil: you surely don't mean that?
Rano: try me?
Sahi: picking up his coat and walking towards the door "you know RAno, im not going to go through with this anymore, I am leaving and when I get back maybe you will get over this mood of yours and be the same old Rano I knew."
Rano: Sahil? But Sahil had gone.
Sahil was sobbing now as he held onto his brothers hands "I was so stupid bhaia, I had gone out clubbing with friends and partying and had returned some early hours of the morning to find Rano gone!" "she had left me without saying a word. I know I was being an ass. I know I messed it up. She was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I messed it up. I was supposed to be there for her and I wasn't bhaia? How lame is that? She wasn't feeling well, and wasn't in the best of moods because of that, but all I thought of was me, how selfish is that?
Jai looked at his brother reflecting his situation back to his, oh Sahil only if you knew how selfish we are, we tend to hurt people who depend and rely on us, who love us! Taking his shoulders, "well you know what to do Sahil?"
Sahil looked up at him "how do I do that bhaia, did you see that, she hates me?"
Jai looked at his brother, hell if he knew he would tell him, but he didn't, "I don't know how Sahil but you have to." "if not for you and Rano but for your baby?"
Sahil looked up in shock, "my baby?"
Jai tried to calm him down "ha Sahil, it seemed like Rano was pregnant when she left you.
Sahil pulling his sleeves up cursing himself, "oh my God, oh my G OD" "the morning sickeness, the mood swings, the emotions, oh bhaia what have I done?" "Rano was pregnant with my baby and i only gave her pain and nothing more?"
Jai: I know Sahil, you and I both have a lot of work to do, a lot! Varun, your son is undergoing treatment where Bani is, that is why RAno was there, has been the past few months in and out after Varun was born. Bani was helping her try and pay for it. Its all taken care of but Varun is still under observation.
Sahil got up: I need to talk to Rano bhaia, I need to apologise, I don't know how I am going to do this and if ever she will forgive me, but I have to? I have to go, I have to make amends, I have to let her know that I am better now and I am willing to try. I will do anything to get her back.
Sahil got up leaving as Jai sat there numb. Turning to look at his older brother, "bhaia?" "its so obvious you love Bani bhabi so much," "maybe you should make amends too?" "and bhaia, i am sorry, i really am!" "i know you tried to look out for me, and i?"
Jai looked at his brother with a weak smile not reaching his eyes, as Sahil left "Sahil, i am not mad at you, i should have been smart enough to see things through but i didnt," "if anyone is to be blamed for my situation its me!"
Sahil looked at his brother before leaving "i still think you should try!"
"I wish it was as simple SAhil, I wish it was that simple, he didn't even know if Bani would want to face him ever again, if ever she would want to talk to him again. They way he had hurt her, no husband would have hurt their wife as much."
Head in palm of his hand, oh Bani, what have I done! Jai was literally crying.
Doori
Sahi jaye naaa
Sahi jaye na
Sahi jaye naaaaa
