PART 34:
Thank you to all that enjoyed my ff and commented and lets move to the next part and hope you enjoy this too.
"Kokila take care and I can understand what you are trying to say...we are all hurt thinking Gopi dikra to be dead... am sure there is explanation to all this... let her recover from the shock herself am sure all will be alright...remember the doctor's advice to not stress her for any thing so let wait." Hetal was trying to calm Kokila to avoid any confrontations but seems to be failing as she too could not believe that Gopi is alive and living in the same area as them but did not see the need to come to them with whatever problem that she is facing...an Angad...how can he be Ahem's when they have not seen Gopi for more than eight years and Ahem died only six years ago...Ohh God what is this...he look so much like Ahem but the dates do not match... what is happening to our family...please God save us from any calamity. Hetal prayed
"Kakiji please be calm and at the moment we should be worried about Gopi bhabi's..." " She is not you bhabi Jigar" " Kakiji! what are you saying... I mean...Gopi bhabi is still a part of this family atleast through Angad" "Jigar don't argue with me...and how can you be certain that that boy is Ahem's blood... Jigar have you forgotten Gopi left this house nearly eight years ago and ...and he is just six..."
"Auntie!!! you of all people are saying this about Di...I assure you that Angad is Ahemjiju's blood and if you want to disown him then at least know the truth first." " Woh who are you and just because we like your relationship with Jigar you can't interfere in our matters...you are not a Modi bahu yet so stay out of this and please leave."Kokila was so hurt but she was being unreasonable and not ready to listen but Jigar and Kajal has had enough and wishes to clear things.
Jigar fully recalls the incidents at the hotel and how his nephew is unable to celebrate his b'day due to the occurrences of incidences. The chaos was unbearable, no one knows what was happening.
FB:
" Ahemji! Ahemjii! Davarji woh Ahemji" and his bhabi collapse in his arms and the next thing he knew and saw was his mum consoling a devastated kakiji who was continuously calling Ahem bhai, followed by Angad's name.
"Kajal please bring some water...hurry and call the doctor...better still let take bhabi to the reserved room...quick help me." Jigar was confused as to who to handle first, he had not anticipated all this. He took Gopi back to where she came running from and took water from the edge of the table and splash but no effect. They keep rubbing her hands and feet to keep her warm as she has frozen suddenly.Both were panicking but lucky for them the doctor arrived and Kajal stayed with her whilst Jigar went to handle the other problem. He took Angad in his arms and his kaki fainted again when she heard Angad calling for his mum.
" Kokila please be strong, we all are dealing with a shock of seeing her after eight years and..." "Motabhabi, the boy...how can...I mean...Ahem..." Just then the doctor arrived and announced that he has sedated Gopi heavily and that she needs rest and no stress and that he can only say that there must be something that has affected her to this degree where she is not responding properly. He suggested to take her to the hospital right away to be place on a monitor and checked regularly and left. He then checked Kokila and gave her a clean bill but prescribe rest.
The guest were disperse and Jigar took Gopi to his car to go to hospital but the elders agreed to take her home and bring in their own doctor for a second check before taking her to hospital.
When they reached home, Gopi was still moaning Ahem in her sedated state and as he was about to climb the stair to take her to her room, " stop Jigar...take her to the ground floor guess room." Everyone was stunned and looked at kokila questioningly until say lay the bomb shell on them by adding " She is no more a bahu of this house... she lost that right when she left us...eight years ago...and now...An...never mind... she will stay there as a guest until she recovers and then she can go back...Jigar do as I say." Jigar looked at his mum to contradict but she just nodded for him to do as told. With a heavy heart he did as told and took her there with Kajal and Angad in tow.
"Jigarji, Angad is asleep so I will place him next to Gopi...that way he will feel save when he wakes up suddenly in a different environment." He agreed and both left quietly and went to the hall to the waiting family
FB ends
" Well am sorry to say this Auntyji I may not yet be a Modi bahu but like I said Gopi Di has not done anything wrong to defame her love for Ahemjiju or this family. I have known her for more than eight years to know her incapable of such acts as she has so much self respect and dignity to do such so please it is wrong of you to even think ill of her without knowing the truth." Kajal could not stand there whilst the family that her Di yarns for calls her characterless and her nephew an illegitimate.
" Woh Jigar,I did not expect this from you...first you were fooled by Rashi into marriage and now you are digging your own grave by refusing to marry a cultured girl like Preeti for a western girl like her who forgets her manners when talking to her elders." Kokila retorted and looking at Kajal in disgust before adding " am saying what I see...besides when she left and the age of the boy says other wise...anyway like I said you are still not a bahu of this family yet so I suggest you stay out of it."
Both Jigar and Hetal sure hurt in Kajal's eyes and the tears threatening to come out. "Kokila please why are you venting your anger on this poor girl and may be she knows what she is talking about and may be a friend of Gopi since she left here so please stop all these and remember what the doctor said you need to rest and also our doctor will be here to check Gopi soon so lets all calm down and am sure when she comes around she will explain herself...Jigar,it's late you take Kajal beta home and come back soon." Hetal said sensing the rising tension in her family and even though the same questions run in her mind, she still can't believe Gopi will do this.
Before Kajal left she want to make her statement clear and looked from kokila to Hetal and said " by the way I have not formally introduced myself to you all...My full name is Kajal Singhania of Singhania construction industries...yes Sanjay Singhania's step sister and therefore Gopi's step sister too...I will leave Jigarji to fill you with the rest of the details but I want to say this much about Di...leaving this place has not changed her at all...she loves you all loads as this is the only family she deeply considers as her and if you guy distrust her, she will die...she already died once of loosing her husband but lived due to the love they shared and that resulted in Angad...she has always been faithful to Ahemjiju even after his death...she has been through a lot and only you people can help her heal her wounds and in process your as well...if you want to vent your anger, I suggest you lay it on my family but not Di...she is innocent, pure like the Ganges." She folded her hand together and left before anyone asked her to clarify but knew Jigar was throwing daggers at her but at that time she only care about her Di and if it means loosing her relationship so be it.
Jigar could not believe Kajal just put him in the pot to be boiled but he was not ready to face there accusation questions just yet especially kakiji so he too left a stun family. The ride to her place was tense and quiet as both were lost in their own world. Both did not anticipate this outcome and remembered Gopi warning them that the family is not ready to meet her and may question about Angad. How right she was...may be she knew the family more than Jigar credited her and now her one virtue is on the line.
He braked abrutly at her door and without waiting she let herself out banging the door shut in a foul mood. " Jigarji how could you...how could you stand there and let Di be defamed like that...I know they are your elders but don't young ones have a right to correct their elders when they are in the wrong...you just stood there and let auntyji call you nepew names when you were a witness to their love...I don't care that you did not defend me as she was right am not their bahu yet but for humanity, you could have defended Di...am very disappointed with you today...very disappointed." With that she stormed off and was looking for her home keys when he rough held her hand and turn her to face him, his eyes red with hurt pushed her hard towards the door " What were you expecting from me...huh what that I should blast kakiji...you think I was not hurt hearing her defame bhabi or you... Kajal she is shocked and hurt and needed to vent her anger...I know that her way was wrong but I wanted her to calm down and mum was handling that part well but you keep butting in and increasing her anger... tell me what was the need to put me in that hole...you think I was not going to tell...I would have but because of you they won't trust me...Kajal" "Jigarji you are hurting me..." "am sorry Kajal...I mean...kaj.." He saw the tears pouring down her cheeks and knew he went far, she was right he should have defended the pure love that her bhabi and bhai shared but he was a coward and did nothing.
He grab her hand lightly and walk her back to the car and signal her to sit in,when she obliged, he too sat next to her and to lighten the mood " Woh it has started to drizzle and I was feeling cold." He got no response and raised her head to face him. " Kajal am honestly sorry and you are right I should have defended their love...I was a coward but with you by my side and giving me courage I shall conquer all...but Kajal my family is so traditional and young ones can only talk when asked...when bhai was around, even he did that too but started to revolt when he fell in love with bhabi...am saying with bhabi in his life he started to see thing differently and clearer and would always make his point and defended bhabi a lot...so you see if I have you my courage will lift up...you are my strength, pillar and support so if you doubt my ability then how can I rise...I should have said something to even defend you as you as my heart...you may not be a bahu of Modis yet but in my mind, heart and soul you are mine and it's just a matter of fulfilling some rituals...so sweetheart please understand me and forgive me."
Kajal was happy and now understood him as well and to show him that she was not angry, she lean on his chest and said it okay. They sat there for a while just hugging until "Kajal! how dare you".
Well that's it from me today...wanted to write more but was exhausted so enjoy and hopefully the next one won't be long
