I was listening to a song from the movie Zinda and really liked the lyrics of the song. It reminded me of this FF so Im posting it.
yeh hai meri kahani
khamosh zindagani
sannata keh raha hai
kyun zulm seh raha hai
ek dastaan purani
tanhayi ki zubani
har zakham khil raha hai
kuch mujh se keh raha hai
chubtay kantay yadoon ke daaman say chunta hoon
girti deewaron ke aanchal mai zinda hoon
bass yeh meri kahani
benishaan nishaani
ek darr beh raha hai
kuch mujh se keh raha hai
chubtay kaanten yadoon ke daaman se chunta hoon
girti deewaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon

Part 40
Jai waited and waited for Bani. He wanted to see their child for the first time together. The baby was healthy but the doctor wanted to keep him under observation for a few days. Jai was the proud father of a healthy baby boy. For courtesy's sake Jai inquired about Nikita's health too but frankly speaking he could not care less. He was only looking around for Bani. even the rest of the family arrived before her. None of them knew where she was. they stood in line to see the baby and Jai gave in to there pleas to let them see him. Jai walked in to the newborn section alone. Walking down to the crib he felt something missing, rather someone missing. He wanted Bani by his side. Now more then ever. Jai bend over to see the most beautiful thing he ever saw in his life. A little human being that was waiting for him, watching him with big eyes. The tiniest ten fingers were on those two small hands and the most precious little nose on the most adorable face. Jai asked the nurse if he could pick him up. The nurse took the baby and placed him in Jai's arms. As soon as the baby was in Jai's arms the baby looked at Jai with the biggest eyes. Jai stroke his cheek with one finger. Nestling himself in Jai's arm he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Lagta hai yeh aap ka hi intezaar kar raha tha. Most babies fall in sleep after a while but he has been awake since they brought him out of the operation theatre."
Jai could only smile barely controlling his tears.
"Have you thought of a name sir?" The nurse asked
Jai kept looking at the life in his arms. "Manav." He whispered. He gave this child the name Bani wanted. The name for which she had not talked to Jai for two days because he said it was a stupid name. Bani wanted this name because this baby would be human. Someone who might understand the nature of Jai and Bani's relationship and except that his adoptive and birth parents are human and they have made mistakes like he will do because he is human. Maybe he will find it in his heart to forgive them and love them like he will be loved.
Jai brought the baby in the hallway. The whole family beamed with happiness seeing the baby. They gushed over the baby's little hands and his features and handed the baby to each other making funny sounds to the sleeping baby. Jai kept looking at the baby and at the door. Where was she?
Past midnight Jai stepped into Bani's apartment. He switched on the lights and looked around. Nothing was different but there was no sign of Bani. Jai opened the doors to all the rooms in the hope to see the person he was looking for but in vain. Walking in her bedroom he found an letter addressed to him.
Dear Jai,
I know you will probably hate me for doing this but I had to. Mai ek bacche ko uske ma baap se alag nahin karsakti. Aap chaahe jo bhi kehde aur mai chaahe apne baccho ko kitna bhi pyaar karugi mai uski maa nahin ban paaungi. Agar aage chalkar usko humaare baare ko pata chalgaya aur mujhse poocha ki maine uski maa ko uski jagaah waapas nahin di when she loved you to mai usko kya jawaab dungi? Agar usne kabhi keh di ki mai uski maa nahin hoon to mai seh nahin paaungi. I'll die Jai. Humara naajaayaz rishta saaye ki tarah humara aur humaare bacche ka peecha karega.(trans: I cant separate a child from his parents. Whatever you can say and how much I will live my child the truth will remain that I cant be his or her mother. If in the future the baby will find out about us and asks me why I didn't give his/her mother her place back when she realised she loved you, what will I answer? If he/she ever will tell me that I'm not the real mother then I wont be able to bear it. I'll die Jai. Our Illicit affair will continue to haunt us and our child.)
I just have one request. Accept Nikita. She loves you, I know she does but she doesn't know any better. She loves you in the way she has learned and has been taught to love. You are the one that can teach her the true meaning of love and of life like you have taught me. Do this for our child. Give him his family. Please. I cant be selfish this time.
I am leaving my Ramji with you. I am leaving my heart and my mind behind. It's useless to take the murti's away because I wont be able to pray from my heart anymore.
Give my love to our child.
Bye
Bani
p.s yeh kehna ka haq main apne haathon se gawa di but I love you and always will love you.
(Trans: I have given away the right to say this myself but I love you and always will love you)
Jai folded the piece of paper with all care and put it in the pocket of his jacket. He walked out of the apartment and drove of.
Two weeks later
Jai was feeding Manav his bottle in his room when he heard Pia talking.
"Na jaane Di kahan hai. Agar woh yahan hoti to unhe apne haathon se yeh kagaz dekar I could ask her for forgiveness. I took something precious from her."
"Pia don't say that, Didi must have forgiven you even before you gave her her rights to her house back" Pushkar said.
Jai placed some pillows around Manav just to be sure and walked out of the room.
"Pia what kind of papers are you talking about?"
"Jiju I.......the papers of our house." Pia answered while looking at the floor and handing the papers to Jai still embarrassed about the demand she made to Bani. Jai took the papers and glanced quickly at them.
"When did you arrange this Pia?" Jai asked.
"Three weeks ago I gave the original draft of the papers to Di. She was happy about it. Kash mai unko yeh original papers bhi de paati." Jai looked at Pia in surprise. Bani knew about the house. she knew the house now also belonged to her.
Jai patted Pia on her head. "Tum yeh papers Bani ko de paaogi.I know where she is now. I thought this would be the last place she wanted to be in because she couldn't go to the house but......."
Jai walked back into his room and picked up Manav. Picking up Manavs bag he walked out of the house followed by a surprised Pia, Pushkar who called the rest of the family to follow them in their cars.
Jai waited in his car for almost three hours until he saw her. Dressed in a light green salwar suit she walked toward the lawn of the house with a folder in one hand and her bag in the other.
Jai put his sunglasses he had on top of his head back in their normal place shielding his eyes and drove the car in front of Bani blocking her way. He lowered the tinted window and looked at her. Banis facial expressions changed from shock to happiness to guilt. She averted her eyes from Jai. Every thing she wanted to say and every word she wanted to use as an explanation to him got stuck in her throat and refused to come out. Instead tears were ready to talk to Jai but judging by his acted aloofness he was not ready to listen. Not to her words and not to her tears. "Get in the car!" she heard him say. Bani did not move an inch. She kept looking at the ground. Jai pushed the accelerator with his foot. The car made a roaring sound. Bani still did not move. Jai pushed the accelerator again and again. He wasn't leaving without her. Bani opened the door to the backseat. Even before she could close the door properly Jai drove of with a jerk to his next destination.
The sudden movement of the car scared Manav who was strapped in his car seat next to Jai. Manav's cry drew Bani's attention towards him. Bani looked at him in amazement. He was so beautiful, so perfect. Her baby. Bani reached out to touch him but found Jai's hand stopping her. She did not have the strength to defy him. Not in the mood he was in now but Manav was crying badly. How much she wanted to touch him, hold him in her arms just once. He was Jai's dream realized and he became her dream too. She had dreamt about this child but he was even more beautiful than in her dreams.
"Manav." She heard Jai say. He had chosen her name. Bani leaned back in her seat and stared at Manav all the while till she felt the car stop. Jai got out of the car and got Manav out of his seat. He opened the door for Bani and kept standing there till Bani got out of the car. They were standing in front of a temple. Holding Manav near his chest with his left arm he grabbed Bani with his right hand and dragged her inside. Passing people in a haste and because of the tears brimming in her eyes she saw the blurred images of the rest of the family standing on the steps of the temple.
Jai stopped inside the temple. He brought her in front of him. And threw his sunglasses away.
"You asked me to accept Nikita. Teach her how to love. But who will teach me how to love her Bani? how can I love the woman who refused to see her son a second time because he reminded her of her mistakes when she laid her eyes on him the first time? How could I love her when I have only loved you. Mujhse itna bara jhoot nahin bola jaayega. Kissi se bhi nahin. Look at him Bani. Tum Manav se kitna pyaar karti ho yeh mai jaanta hoon. I have seen how you have waited for him and how much you have pined for him in the last few months. Tumne khud mujhse kaha tha ki yeh humaara baccha hoga. Phir isko chor ke kaise chali aayi? Aaj tumhara pyaar kya kam ho gaya hai? don't you love us anymore. You didn't even think about the rest of the family."
"nahin." Bani sobbed. "I love both of you. Lekin hamaara baccha. Hum kaise samjhaayege sab ko. Humara rishta......kaise batayenge ki..... he deserves both his parents. Specially his mother."
" You are his mother."
Bani shook her head vigorously. "I'm not. Mai uski maa nahin ban paungi. No matter how hard I try."
Jai released her hand from his and cupped her face" Mai kuch nahin jaanta. I only know that you love this child more than his real mother will ever be able to do in her entire life."
Jai opened his coat and got some papers from the pocket inside which he gave to Bani.
The final verdict of the divorce papers and along with that another set of papers. Papers for Ban to adopt Manav as her son. To be his mother officially in front of the law. Even if anything would happen to Jai she would be able to keep Manav with her. Bani stared at the papers for away until Jai's voice brought her back. He caressed her check with his thumb.
"Raha sawaal hamaare rishte ka to main tumse pehle poocha tha if you would marry me and you said yes. Agar tumne aaj na kaha to I'll drag you to the mandap. I swear. Lekin isse pehle bhi hamara rishta najaayaz nahin tha. I refuse to believe it was wrong. Hum galat nahin the aur galat nahin hai."
Jai placed Manav in Bani's arms. She cuddled him, kissed him and hugged him whispering apologies for leaving him and telling him how much she loved him and has waited for him.
Jai embraced Bani and Manav in the temple when the rest of the family came up with a red dress for Bani in Rano's hands. Bani parted with Manav reluctantly but her bossy sisters and aunts dragged her away to get her ready in the house behind the temple. She was getting married.
A simple ceremony took place. Jai waited for her at the mandap when she came up. She took her seat next to him. Her rightful position. While the priest chanted the mantra's Bani's eyes searched for Manav. She finallt saw him in Mausi's arms and sighed in relieve. Jai held Bani's hand "Relax. Woh kahin nahin jaayega. He is here. With us."
When it was time to put the mangalsutra around Bani's neck Jai took his own sweet time. Looking into her eyes he leaned over. Her heart skipped a beat. He pushed her hair aside and tied the mangalsutra firmly around her neck "This is just a formality. Meri zindagi me tum kya ho iska gawah sirf ek magalsutra aur sindoor nahin ban paayenge." He whispered in her ear.
The following day Jai registered his marriage to Bani and filed the adoption papers in court. Three months later Manav was officially Bani's son but Bani was his mother even before he was born. Manav became the apple of Bani's eyes. He was her first priority and she had to listen to Jai's complains about neglecting him every day. Next to taking care of the family, Manv's care and some office work every day she would find some time to listen to all of Jai's complaints and later tease him with it. Jai and Bani's marriage did create some hurtful headlines in the tabloids and some interesting gossip for the society butterflies but after a certain point of time the gossip and headlines faded away. Jai and Bani had the full support of their family and they helped getting them though the difficult times. Bani and Jai's relationship was accepted by society. Bani got the place that belonged to her. She stood next to Jai for the rest of her life instead of behind him invisible to the rest of the world.
Three years later Jai and Bani were blessed with another child. A girl they named Manisha meaning a desire, a wish, Manav's wish. Manav had wished for a sibling and got his baby sister he took care of and protected. Even when years later she would complain to her father about her over protective brother.
Bani's fear did not come true. Manav did not leave them upon hearing the truth. Manav got to know the truth when he was thirteen and old enough to understand according to Jai. The last thing Jai wanted was for Manav to find out on his own about his birth. Jai told him everything. How he and Nikita got married. How he met Bani, how they fell in love and most of the things that happened after that. They tried really hard to conceal from Manav that neither Nikita nor Rahul wanted him but Manav being a smart boy guessed why Jai and Bani took care of him. Both of them assured their son that they would fully support any decision he would take. Manav went into a shell for a few days. The most painful days for Bani but came out eventually and became the same old cheerful and mischievous boy he was before. Nikita had disappeared out of their lives for all these years. She started a new life far away for Jai and Bani and more important far away from Manav. To her he was still the reason for losing Jai and the result of the mistake she made. The mistake she could not accept. Not even when her son made an attempt to get in touch with the woman who gave birth to him. Only gave birth to him. She could never be his mother. Manav only gave that right to Bani.
Jai and Bani stayed together till their last breath. The trust they had in each other and the respect for one another stenghtened their love. After their marriage they had their share of ups and downs but togehter they faced everything on their path. In each others arms they forgot all the pain they got from the rest of the world and only remembered the sweet memories. The memories that included their family.
This is it from my side. bye bye
