Thank you so much friends for commenting.
Phir wahi sab huwa...Everything unfolded just as before...Part 3
Bani couldn't sleep at night.
Jay's words kept coming into her mind.
Bani confronted Jay.
Bani: I heard everything yesterday.
Jay's smile disappeared.
Jay: Heard... what?
Bani: Don't pretend.I saw you handing over confidential company files.I heard you talking about transferring data for money.
Jay became dull.
Jay: Bani, you have misunderstood me.
It's part of a confidential project.
I can't explain because of an NDA.
Bani folded her arms.
Bani: Stop lying.
Jay: I'm telling the truth.
Bani: Then look into my eyes and tell me you never leaked company secrets.
Jay remained silent.
Bani: Tell me.Did you betray this company?
Slowly Jay said:Yes.
Bani was shattered.

Jay: I didn't do it for fun.I did it for us...for our future.
I want us to have a better life...A bigger house...Financial security.
I wanted to earn money quickly.
Bani: Money earned by betraying people isn't security.It's greed.
Jay: Everyone does these things.
Bani: Not everyone.And even if they did...that doesn't make it right.
Jay: Please understand.Everything I did was for you.
Bani: Don't put this on me.I never asked you to become dishonest.
I prefer to live a simple life than enjoy luxury built on betrayal.
Jay had no answer.Bani walked away.
The entire day...
Bani sat quietly at her desk.
She couldn't focus on her work.
Veer noticed it immediately.
He placed a cup of coffee beside her.
Veer: You have not eaten anything.
Bani:But I'm fine.
Veer:You are clearly not.
Bani looked away.
She thought:I wanted to tell you everything.
But I can't.I don't want Jay's secret to become office gossip.
Bani: Nothing like that Veer.
Veer: Ok.But if you ever need someone to listen to your problems,I'm here.
Bani looked at him emotionally.
She smiled emotionally.
Bani: Thank you, Veer.
Veer smiled back.
Veer: That's what friends are for.
She smiled.

Later that evening...
Bani stayed back to complete a project.
She noticed Veer carefully reviewing every line of code before submitting it.
Another employee laughed.
Employee: No one's going to check every detail.
Just upload it.
Veer shook his head.
Veer: If my name is on the project,it should be my best work.
The employee was silent.
Veer continued working patiently.
Bani watched him carefully.
She remembered Jay saying...
"Everyone does these things."
Then she looked at Veer.
Bani thought:Veer is so honest,dedicated and sincere.
He never looked for shortcuts.He respected the company that trusted him.
The difference between Veer and Jay is not talent,but their character.
How I failed to notice it before?
Bani went near Jay.
Bani: I have thought about everything.
You still have a chance.Stop leaking company information.Return whatever you have.Accept your mistake.
Jay: And throw away all the money like a fool?No.I'm not stopping.This is how the world works.
Bani looked at him in disbelief.
Bani: You are choosing money over what's right?
Jay: I'm choosing success.
Bani: Then we are over.
Jay stared at her.
Jay: You are breaking up with me because of this?

Bani nodded.
Bani: I'm breaking up with you because I don't recognize the person standing in front of me anymore.The Jay I loved would never betray the people who trusted him.
Jay: Fine.If that's your decision,then leave.
Bani was shocked.
Bani:I expected you to stop your illegal activities.I thought you would apologize.
I thought you would promise that you would change.But you...
A tear rolled down Bani's cheek.
Bani:If you had truly loved me,you would have fought to save both our relationship and your integrity.
Instead you you have chosen your illegal earnings.
Jay did'nt care about her tears and started walking away.
Bani wiped away her tears.
Bani: Listen carefully, Jay.If you continue cheating this company,I won't stay silent.This company trusted us.It's my workplace too.If you keep betraying it,I will expose everything.
Jay stopped walking.
Slowly he turned back and stared at her.

Jay: Are you threatening me?
Bani: I'm warning you.Stop before it's too late.
Jay's eyes filled with anger.
Jay: Don't interfere in my life, Bani.You will regret it.
Bani: The only thing I regret is believing you were an honest man.
She walked away without turning back.
Jay stood there angrily.
