Hope you enjoy the next the date update as I have not done much thinking but just decided to write and finish this one as I have a new idea running in my head and would want to start it soon but after I finish with this one so let move on
PART 33:
Gopi could not believe what her Devar told her regarding the fact that he has moved on but with who. She has a feeling it might be Kajal but the two has so far being able to hide their romance really well but what about her Rashiben, has she too moved on and why did she agree with the divorce,but what about the family did they too want this to happen...was her Devarji right that she did not think of his happiness. Too many thoughts were running on her mind and decided to get to the bottom of it all and see what best to deal with.#
As dinner was just with Kajal she decided to confront her about her feelings for Jigar but how to start about the conversation she was not sure but it seems nature supports her when " Di you seem lost now a days...are you alright... should I order more of your medicines..." " Arrey please so many questions...besides am fine...but since you are concern I actually have something to clear with you...I mean what's with you and your life...I mean do you not intend on settling down...bhai told me about Karan and and I think he is a wonderful person and very decent..." " Di please I need time to think about the future and besides I have huge projects to handle here so I do not have much time to think of Karan." "But Kajal you can at least talk to him...I've notice you have not been in touch with him since I can but are too engrossed in helping me and Devarji." " Di I have just few weeks remaining here before I go back so let me save my energy here and more over, Karan and I broke up before I came here so I don't think we will be rekindling that relationship any time soon and besides...am not in love with him Di and would not be fair to lead him astray.." " Then who do you love or ..." " Jig...ammm sorry Di it's late and tomorrow is Monday...too much work at office and meetings...so good night and I suggest you too rest.." Kajal quickly left the room before her sister's grulling gets to her and Gopi too knew that she was running away from her questions but got the hint that she needed but now what to do with her Rashiben. She decided to call it a night and think through on the best solution.
In her room she was chatting with Jigar and filling him of the blunder of blurting the truth about them to her sister. " It's okay Kajal and she is bound to find out soon so this will make it easier for her to accept that I have moved on from Rashi but what is bugging me is how to tell mum about us...remember dad saw us before but at that time they did not know you are Sanjay's sister and Kajal Kakiji is so serious about Preeti so I have to come clean to them about us." As usual they chatted over the phone until the wee hours of the night.
"Jigar what is this childish play you are doing." Kokila shouted at him " Kaki please this is hard for me too and a decision has to be made and I do not want to give false impression to you all by being quiet and you all said I can tell you of my decision." " Yes Jigar that what we said but what me mean is after you two meet."Kokila interrupted " Kokila please be calm am sure Jigar has an explanation as to why he is rejecting this offer." " But motabhabi" " please kokila let's give him a chance as we did say that we will not force him into anything." Hetal added and looked at her son and massaging her son's hand to coax him to finish
" Maa you what you were telling me last night about thinking deep for my future as you do not want to go through the same pain for loosing your bahu so I thought a lot about this relationship but to be honest am not in agreeable. Maa I should have told you earlier but when I came home that night and you were all discussing about the Sharma's daughter, I could not bring myself to tell you then...wow maa I have been seeing someone for the past couple of weeks and I...I..love her...I love her so much maa and trust she is such a nice girl and you will like her...I would like to make her your ba...hu..."
" Jigar we are not forcing you does not mean you pick any girl from the streets and make her a Modi bahu..." "Papa she is an orphan... not long ago her father passed away and at present she is handling their business here after graduating from an Australian University."
" Ohh I see Jigar but before we agree to this rista we have to meet her elders as you said she is orphan then..." " woh papa at the moment she lives with her Di and her brother and bhabi lives in Australia but if you all agree I can invite her and her Di here and you can all ask her all the questions you want to..." " Okay Jigar you can invite them tomorrow for dinner." Jigar sigh a breath of relief for not letting them on too much about her and wishes that they will like her but his dillema is how to convince Gopi to come along. He was certain his kaki was not happy with his decision and hoped that his dad does not recognise her.
The next day, a very nervous Kajal rang the doors of MM and waited anxiously for the door to open and when they did, she was being glared at by a very large set of eyes but they soon soften when she saw who her company was. " Good evening aunty...my name..." " Oh hi you made it" Jigar saved his love from kokila who seem lost looking at her company. As they enter the grand parlour of their home, each member came forward to great her but like Kokila, they were all tongue tight on seeing the little boy who clung to her like a scared dull. Jigar looked at his family's astonished faces at seeing Angad...he could sence that they all could see the resemblance to Ahem bhai but none of them can imagine that someone could look so much like bhai in his childhood days. " Maa, papa please meet Kajal and this...is Angad". Kokila couls not hold back the tears that this boy brought with Ahem's memory and went to him and knelt before him and extended her hand to him. " You are such a nice boy...Angad... my name is Kokila and you can call me kokila aunty...so can I hug you.." The confused boy hid himself further behind Kajal and quickly run to Jigar, who lifted him in his arms and wiped of his own tears before anyone else notice but Kajal saw it and compressed the pain gathering in her throat.
They all moved to the dining table but the focus was on Angad and everyone was making a fuss around him...offering him all his requests. " Auntyji, We do not let him have too much sweets..." " It's okay Kajal it's just for one night" Kokila intervene before adding so why did his parents come with you. " Woh Auntyji Di has an important work to attend to so she could not make it." "That's fine but what about his dad, he could have come." " Woh..Aunty..ji amm Angad's...papa...is" "Kokila let it be and why ask too many questions about him." Hetal said but knew Kokila has mentally link this boy to Ahem's childhood and was having a hard time not believing that they are not related...like all of them but she has to distract Kokila
"Beta Jigar told me about the loss of you dad and am sorry but at least you have your bhai,bhabi sister and jiju with you in this hard times." She raised an eye at the last name and turned her head to Jigar who also was stunned at his mum's mention of his bhai. Dinner was ate in silence whilst the main focus shifted to Angad even though everyone like Kajal a lot.
Jigar took them home and was happy thta his family liked her but at the same time he was unhappy for not telling his family the whole and hoping they will forgive him when the truth comes out.
The party preparations were full on and both Jigar and Kajal were working hard to put everything in order and make sure nothing is missing. Gopi decided to stay away from it all but agreed to come on the day but will only stay at a secure place where she can see her son and family.
"Bhabi don't worry all will be fine and besides Kajal is here with Angad and look at him playing with the other kids but you could at least join us..." "Listen Devarji I agreed for you to hold Angad's party like Ahemji would have done but please I can't do this now...not now..." " Okay bhabi...you will be save in this room and see all that's happening in the party and when you are bored of looking at us enjoy, you can watch the stars and outside from the balcony or join us." He smiled at her and was about to leave when she said "you love her" he understood who she was talking about and came forward and held her hands and said " a lot and life without her in it to share with is empty." " Devarji you deserve all the happiness and do you know that our relationship will still be the same..." he raised an eye brow not understanding and she added " well both are my sisters and therefore you will still be my brother in law."giving him her million dollar smile. He laugh and nodded his head and then left to attend to the party but his eyes were roving around seeking for one face only.
As if a wave just blew at the nape of his neck making him turning around to see the most beautiful girl in red salwar, hair loose in curls, pink lips and eyes shinning like the moon has come down on her...he drool on her gazing her top to bottom and was pleased with his heart for selecting her for him. He slowing moved towards her not breaking eye contact and only stopped few inches away from her...he leaned in closer to her ears and wispered " you want to get me killed looking hot and appealing and appetising...by the way you look very beautiful and that colour suits you..." he gave a peck on the cheek before teasing her " should I book a room as I do have sindoor in the form of my blood and my chain should do as a mangalsutra...what you say." Jigar was blown away by her shy yet bold answer " It's all for you to claim when you see fit." She answered and rushed away from him before they actually do what he desired and headed towards the door and greeted the Modi family. She took their blessings and invited them in.
Behind the tinted glass, Gopi was enjoying herself and saw the interaction between her sister and Devar and was happy for them and thought the look good together but then her happiness turn to sorrow, anxiety and pain seeing her family. They all looked pale and skinnier...she touched the glass as if stroking their faces and erasing their tears. She was crying not knowing how to handle herself especially when she saw how they all hug her son and gave him gifts and bless him...her maaji not letting him go for a while...if only she could brave it and join them and tell them she was alive and that Angad is their grand child...if only her Ahemji was here with them..and...hugging his..son...if only...Gopi sat on the floor crying not able to look further as the pain of her loosing her life partner engolve her deep to the core. The painful memories of her leaving her family when she thought her Ahemji wronged her... the though that he was going to unit her with her family but...life was cruel to her and took her happiness,smile and the only soul she fell for and cared.
Both Kajal and Jigar exchanged looks knowing that Gopi will be watching all this and..." Ahemji!!!, Ahemji!!!" all looked at Gopi in bewilderment and shock grip them seeing her. Jigar grab her but she was hesterical and saying " Devarji! Ahemji!, Ahemji Woh Ahemji, Ahe..mji!" before fainting
Someone please call the doctor " Jigar shouted caring her bhabi to the room she came out and lay her on the sofa and asked Kajal to give her water. He sprinkled on her face but to no effect and asked if the doctor arrived. The rest of the family were still too stunned and numbed to move or figure out what happened. Minutes later the doctor arrived and went in to the room and only Kajal remain there with Gopi whilst she is being examined.
Kokila was by now carrying a frightened Angad in her arms but his word shunned her and looked at him as if she is seeing a ghost. Jigar came and took him from Kokila's hands and hug him. He was crying and then said " what happened to my mummy...I want my mummy..." He kept repeating himself and both are oblivious to what's happening behind them until Hetal came quickly and grab her hand. " Careful Kokila" " Motabhabi...Angad..." She was too emotional by now and fell to the ground crying "Ahemmm!"
Well ff lover that's it for now so enjoy and please give your response.
