[I am assuming that Armaan and Mallika are not married, Raj is still with Gulmohur....]
Armaan woke from his sleep with a start, perspiring profusely and with his heart beat racing uncomtrollably..His thoughts were muddled and he tried to focus and get back to reality. And that was when he realised that he had to go to Nainital today, on an official visit for 2 days. The moment he thought about Nainital his face darkened, eyes glistened with anger , mouth straightened to a hard determined line and, his hands clawed at the blanket by his side- and he just sat there still, immmobile, and tried to gain control over his intense fury and hatred for jassi, which he knew if left uncontrolled would hurt him and subsequently destroy him. He had to stay alive, stay focussed on his only aim in life- 'destroy jassi' which had now become almost like a daily prayer to him..
With renewed energy, he leaped from his bed and started getting ready for the journey, and with single minded determination moved like a man possessed. His movements were almost fluid like and he resembled a panther ready for the kill...At that moment he started, on hearing a knock at the door.As he was wondering on who it could be, a male voice called out,"'Armaan, yaar.. what's keeping you occupied? Open the door sleepyhead.". It was Raj, his best friend, the only person who could unravel his deepest darkest thoughts, and the only man he still trusted and loved apart from his parents. Allowing a small smile to play on his handsome face, he crossed the room and opened the door to let a very indignant and impatient Raj inside. Raj entered the room and on seeing Armaan all dressed and ready, he couldn't control his surprise and blurted out, "Armaan!! Dude, are you okay? It just doesn't seem normal. From when did you start waking up this early??" Armaan mumbled under his breath," From the day i died,from the day jassi betrayed me and left me for another man.." Raj heard him and winced in pain. He just couldn't stand to see Armaan hurting.. He knew that the misunderstanding was related to CJ. But somehow, he couldn't believe Armaan's opinion. He had a gut feeling that a much darker and cynical ploy had been cunningly executed and that jassi was innocent.He also knew that Armaan still loved Jassi,passionately, but his hurt feelings and hurt pride stood in the way of him acknowledging it.As he stood there lost in his thoughts, Armaan hit him playfully and said," Raj, stop day-dreaming... Man, you can flirt as much as you want and dream as long as you want to, but now we have work to do.. So, let's keep moving." After giving instuctions to the servant to move their luggages to the car, both of them went to the dining hall and had their breakfast. And as they were about to leave the house, Mallika entered the house and stopped Armaan and said, "Armaan, before you leave can't you atleast say bye?". Raj, left the room at the same instant cos' Mallika's artificially sugary words irritated him highly. In the meantime, Armaan was looking at Mallika long and hard, and then he drawled out casually with arrogance and indifference, "Mallika, i don't acknowledge people who i don't love". And with that he left the room, leaving Mallika fuming with hurt pride and anger.
Armaan and Raj got into the car and started towards Nainital. Armaan, was in the driver's seat and he was staring straight ahead, allowing nothing to divert his attention from driving.But he had no idea, none whatsoever, of what was in store for him in Nainital...
They reached Nainital the same evening and halted in front of the hotel where they were to stay throughout their visit.Armaan and Raj got out of the car. Raj immediately left for his room after the completion of the formalities. Armaan continued standing there taking in the view of the city. It was twilight and the sun was slowly setting and the sky's golden brilliance almost blinded him and took his breath away. It appeared to him as though the entire city had been set on fire, with everything burning, a flaming yellow and red mirroring the anger burning inside him..He shook himself and left to his room..
In the same hotel, at a different room, CJ was planning his next move on destroying Jassi. He had come to know thru Father Roderick that Jassi was at the moment working as a teacher in the school run by the church under the guise of a widow.He gained pleasure thinking about Jassi's depressing predicament, but he had to destroy her completely.. and that would be her slow, extended and painful death just as Purab had died suffering, lonely, during his final days..
Night came and went.. and morning broke..Armaan and Raj immediately left for the conference hall. After a hectic and tiring day with persistent manoeuvering , the deal was signed.They had not expected it to be finalised so soon. It was just 3 in the evening.. But, now that it was done with, both Armaan and Raj decided to leave for Mumbai the next day, morning. At the hotel, in the foyer, when Armaan and Raj were having a drink, they happened to see CJ at a different corner of the room talking to someone on the phone.Armaan felt the blood rush through his veins furiously and the scene of CJ seminude, and Jassi came to his mind and he started moving towards CJ. But Raj stopped Armaan and said, "Armaan, control yourself and think logically. If CJ is here, then where is Jassi?? You said that Jassi had dumped you for him. So, they should have got married by now. . they should have been here together...Now, only CJ is here and Jassi is not to be seen anywhere.. Doesn't that seem a bit weird??". Armaan reluctantly agreed and both of them started moved towards CJ hiding themselves from his view and eavesdropped at his conversation.
CJ was talking to someone on the phone saying, "Listen Parbatlal, i want you to spread the fact that Neha is actually Jassi alias Jessica Bedi the supermodel, and that she had dumped her fiance at the mandap for another man... I want you to destroy her dignity completely that u can even spread the rumour that she had a physical relationship with her secret lover a day before her marriage.. I want her to hang her head in shame and leave the place totally broken,Do you get me??" After a few more minutes of muffled conversation, CJ hung up with a cruel smile on his face..Thinking aloud he said, "Ms.Jasmeet Walia, i had succeded in destroying Armaan's love for you, had succeded in creating an ugly misunderstanding between you and Armaan by enacting a very damaging scene that you were totally unaware of, had succeded in destroying your family's dignity, had destroyed your beautiful dream of a happily married life with Armaan...But i am not done with you yet Ms.Walia. You have a few more debts to be paid for Purab's death and for rejecting his love, Jassi.. "
Armaan and Raj just stood there shocked, rooted to the ground, too stunned to react..Truth came crashing down on Armaan, that Jassi had been innocent all along and Cj had actually played a cruel game with both of them.With a roar, Armaan rushed towards Cj and hit him hard, with all the pent up fury and anger of the past few moments rushing out of him furiously.. He, continued fighting with him like a man possessed and insane.. Raj, got hold of Cj's cell and got the number of Parbatlal. From the directory he identified the name of the school of which Parbatlal was the principal. Armaan had not yet stopped fighting and he was totally out of his senses and blinded by anger and fury.Raj rushed to him and screamed, "Armaan, it is more important for you to save Jassi's dignity.. Let me handle him, you leave for the school immediately ". Armaan with supreme effort controlled himself and rushed out like a mad man with all his senses screaming out, "Jassi i am sorry for doubting you......" He reached the school and found that the damage had already been done and Jassi had left the school just a few moments ago. He started running through the surrounding areas screaming ,"JASSI.....Where are you?????". With his desperation and frustration on the increase, he kept searching for Jassi, with tears of pain and love streaming down his face... And then, he saw her, alone, with pain writ large on her face,beside a pond with her shoulders drooping, the very epitome of sorrow.
He moved towards her hesitantly, remembering his unfair accusations and her stunned reactions.. Everything came to him in a flash and he hated himself for doubting Jassi... Sensing a movement nearby, Jassi turned back and was shocked to see Armaan there, with bruises in his hands, hair tousled, suit torn and face wet with tears and perspiration and she saw in his eyes infinite love, passion and trust.... She just stood there, shocked, surprised and relieved...
Armaan move towards Jassi, and with infinite love and tenderness was about to caress her face but stopped himself and looked into her eyes and said, "Jassi, i know that i wronged you,.. that i let you down by not trusting you.. But, if you knew what actually happened, then maybe you would look at me in a different light.." And he narrated the entire incident, of what he had seen in Nainital the day before their wedding, and then Cj's conversation with Parbatlal...Slowly tears welled in Jassi's eyes and she broke down completely. Armaan caught her in his arms and consoled her, whispering sweet nothings into her ears..And they just stood there in the middle of all the greenery, by the lake, in each other's arms.
Finally, Jassi controlled her tears and looked up at Armaan. Armaan held her face lovingly in his hands, and said with desperation and passion, " Jassi, if it is possible will you forgive me?? I know that i had wronged you by not trusting in your love, in our love for each other.I should have known better.I agree that i was impulsive... But, let me tell you jassi, that eventhough i tried forgetting you, i just couldn't bring myself to picture you and Cj living together.. I was going crazy, losing my senses, losing myself..Jealousy took control of me and i was going insane..You are mine jassi,only mine.. Call this possessiveness as childish and immature, but this is me, just me..I love you desperately with every fiber of my being and a life without you is unimaginable... It hurts, painfully, just to think of you with another man..I'd die without you jassi.. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, grow old with you, laugh with you, cry with you, live with you, love you with all my heart, soul and mind.. Now, if you are going to reject me i'd die........Say something Jassi, don't kill me with your silence..........."
Listening to Armaan's emotional outburst was simply too difficult for her to handle. All her past anger and hurt somehow disappeared, and as usual she involuntarily let down her defences the moment she saw armaan..... His love for her, his new found trust in her, his possessiveness made her feel wanted, made her feel loved...With infinite love,Jassi replied,"Armaan, i had loved and will always love you.. and in love, there is absolutely no room for holding grudges or not forgiving each other.. As long as i love you, i'd keep forgiving you, and that is forever......"
With a whoop, Armaan swung Jassi in his arms screamed out loud,"J A S S I....... I love you..........."And both of them fell to the ground laughing... and armaan looked into jassi's eyes and said,"Jassi, have i ever told you how much i love you, with a forehead kiss??? NO??? Just close your eyes and you'd see me standing there with tears of love in my eyes...." And he sealed his love with a kiss, on her lips........
