part4
bani opens her eyes as she feels rain drops falling on her face. and founds its
raining and it had become dark outside. she cameout to the hospital garden at 5pm
as she feels suffocated in her room. she got frustated thinking about her life and
self pitying her. she isn't able to remember anything eventhough she is trying hard.
so to get out of all this for sometime she came outside to get fresh air and to calm her
nerves. she sat on the bench there seeing the sunset and didn't know when she fell asleep.
getting up from the bench she heads toward her room. when she enters the room
she sees jai and a doctor shouting at the nurse about something.
bani: mr.walia aap? when did u came?
hearing her voice all the three turn there heads and saw her standing at the door
all the three feels relief seeing her there sound and safe but jai in his angry shouts
at her loudly startling her
jai: where do u went? do u realise how worried we are when we see u r not in the room
do u not have a minimum commonsense to inform anyone. we r all searching for u
for the lastone hour. if u want to go can't u inform someone"
seeing her eyes filling with water jai realises what he is doing and calms himself
and says sorry for shouting at her and asks her where she went
bani says that she is the garden as she felt bored sitting in the room and she doesn't know
when she fell asleep sitting there and says sorry for the trouble she caused for them
jai feels sorry for shouting at her and says
"its not about the trouble. but u are not completely recovered from the accident
and what if something happens to you again. we were worried about u.
u should have informed to someone before going anywhere."
bani in her own thoughts and worries doesn't think of informing anyone and she doesn't
expect jai to be this much upset and angry upon not finding her in the room
bani says sorry to him and says she wont repeat it and will inform to someone next time
she moves out of room
karan who is seeing all this says to bani to rest for sometime and asks jai to come with him
jai asks the nurse to take care of bani carefully this time if she fails this time she will
have to find another job as he will make sure she will loose this one. saying this he
follows karan to his room.
hearing what jai said both bani and the nurse looks at jai's retreating figure with shock
bani feels sorry for the nurse because of her carelessness she got scoldings. and says
to nurse
" i am sorry. because of me u got scoldings"
the nurse just smile sand says it's ok
bani: " i am also sorry for what he said. he should not have said like that"
the nurse says she doesn't feel bad about anything what her husband said because he
is so much worried on not finding her in the room. and anyone in his position would do
the same. so asks her not to worry about it and says that she should be happy to have
husband like that
bani looks at the nurse not understanding why she said that
the nurse looking at bani's face says that
" you know when you r admitted in the hospital after the accident he is very tense and
worried. through out night he sat outside the operation theater like a lifeless man waiting for the
doctor to come out and say that u r alright but when the doctor told him that you had
gone into coma he was shattered. after shifting you to icu he sat near u all the day
we had to request him to go to his house and from the next day i din't saw him in the
hospital. it is only yesterday he came back that too after knowing that u were out of coma.
till know i dint understand why he dint came back to see you the two weeks you were in
coma. i thought that he din't care about u.but after seeing him today i understood
that he is cares a lot about u. after finding that u were not in the room he turned the
whole hospital upside down inorder to search for u."
bani just listens to the nurse without saying anything. the nurse smiles at bani gives
her the tablets and asks her to rest while she check on other patients. saying so she
leaves the room. bani just lies on the bed and thinks what the nurse said about jai.
______________________________________________________________________________
on the other side karan scolds jai for shouting at bani.
karan: " jai how can u shout at her like that. u have to control ur anger. remember ur
anger is the whole cause for all your problems."
jai feels like stupid for shouting at the girl
jai : i know karan. but i amn't able to control. how can she be so careless? and how can
she slept like that unaware of the surroundings?
karan: jai u were worrying unnecessarily. its just due to the medicines. they will make
her drowsy. so without her knowledge she might have slept there. (smiling he adds)
anyway i asked u to act as her husband but u behaved like a real husband
jai glares at karan angrily not liking what karan said
karan laughs and asks seriously
karan: but why r u so worried about her?
jai : (distressed)karan bcoz of me she is in this position. if again anything happens to her i wont be able forgive myself.
karan says nothing will happen to her as they have to do long act in future
jai just smiles at karan and says he will go and meet bani and will say sorry for shouting
at her
karan tells him to go and says he will join him later
______________________________________________________________________________
when jai enters the room he finds bani lying on her bed and is staring at the celing
so to get her attention jai knocks on the door. seeing jai, bani sits on her bed and asks him to
come in. jai enters the room and sits near her on the chair. they both sat silent for sometime
as each of them want the other to speak something. after sometime jai starts saying that
jai : "i am sorry. i shouldnot have shouted at u like that. but i was so worried about u
when i dint find u in the room."
bani: (smiles) its ok mr.walia. there is no need to tell sorry. i can understand.infact i
should be the one to say sorry to u. its my mistake i went out with out informing
anyone.
jai: its ok
bani was about to ask something but she doesn't know how to ask. and she doesn't know
how will he react
seeing her hesitating jai asks her what it is
bani: mr.walia woh actually mai apse kuch puchna chathi hoon.can i ask?
jai : ofcourse bani
bani: i just wanted to know how this accident happened
now its jai's time to hesitate. he doesn't expect her to ask him this question. now what
will he tell her. he scolded himself for encouraging her to ask him.
seeing jai lost in his thoughts. bani calls him
bani: mr.walia.
jai : huh (coming out of his thoughts)
bani: kya hua?
jai : kuch nahi. woh tum achanak se accident ki bareme pocha tho .....
bani: i am sorry. i dint mean to upset u. i just wanted to know. shayad mujhe kuch yaad
aajay.
jai : its ok.
jai thinks that of all the lies they are telling her she should be told a single truth
eventhough it is about her accident and starts to tell her how her accident happened
jai : (sadly) this acccident happened because of me
bani is shocked hearing this
jai : woh actually
before he could continue karan enters the room and says
karan: woh actually when u r crossing the road a car hitted u
jai is irritated by karans interfernce and the lie he said
bani : but he said he is the reason for the accident
karan stares angrily at jai and says to bani
karan: its nothing like that. he is unneccesarily blaming himself. actually what happened
is he had to go to office immediately so he asked u to catch a taxi to go home.
and while u r crossing the road to get a taxi the accident happened. so he thinks that
if he had not told u to get down from the car this accident wouldn't have happened
jai stares at karan with his mouth opened for the lies he is telling to bani
seeing bani believing what he said karan continues
karan: now tell me is jai the reason for ur accident?
bani nodes her head in negative and after thinking for sometime asks jai
bani: is this the reason that u dint came to the hospital the last two weeks i am in coma?
both jai and karan are shocked to hear this. they dint know who told her that jai dint
visit her in the last two weeks. so to save the situation karan hastly says
karan: ya thats the reason. he cannot see u in this position thinking that he is the reason for it
bani tells jai not to think like that when he dint do anything intentionally and everything that
happened is unexpected
jai glares at karan angrily . karan avoids jai's looks and says to bani
karan: (smiling)oh sorry i forgotted to introduce myself. i am karan. ur husbands best friend.
and by profession i am doctor and i work in this hospital
bani : hello mr.karan
karan: no formalities bani. u can call me bhaiyaa. i am like u brother. am i not?
bani smiles and nodes her head in positive
karan: now tell me how r u feeling.
bani : i am fine. just feeling a bit drowsy
karan: its due to medicines. dont worry. u take rest. i will see u later
saying that karan leaves the room still avoiding the murderous looks jai is throwing at him
jai sits there not understanding how to come out of all the lies he and karan are telling
to bani. he didnot expect that the one lie he said inorder to save bani and himself will
cause these many problems. and the one lie he said lead to many other lies.and he
doesnot know when all this will end. and he had a feeling that by the end of all these
the lies he had told and is going to tell inorder to save others will leave him shattered
and heart broken
seeing that jai is upset and is in deep thoughts bani felt sorry for him. she thinks that
he is sad because of her. she did know how to make him feel better and to take the guilty
feeling out of him that he is the reason for her accident
after sometime not knowing what to do bani says
bani: mr.walia i think its getting late.u have to go home and rest
jai nodes his head and leaves the room saying goodnight
______________________________________________________________________________
jai walks out of the hospital lost in his thougths. seeing karan waiting near his car, jai
remembers that he had asked karan to have his dinner with him at his house.
but without saying anything jai sits in his car and waited for karan to take his seat.
after karan adjusted himself in the passenger seat jai starts the car. the drive to jai's
home was silent as karan thought that it would be better to remain silent.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
throughout the dinner they remain silent. after dinner jai leaves to his study. after his
intial hesitation karan follows jai to his study. jai serves himself a drink and stands near
the window looking at the darkness. unable to withstand the silent atmosphere karan asks jai
karan: jai why r u upset? what happened?
jai turns around and asks angrily
jai : karan u r asking me what happened and why am i upset. after what u said to bani
u expect me to be happy?
karan: jai whats wrong with what i said
jai : (shouts) whats wrong karan! according to me everything that is happening is wrong
why dint u let me tell her how the accident happened. i thought of all the lies
we r telling her i can tell her one truth and u manipulated that truth also.
dont u think she had a right to know the truth of how the accident happened.
if not for the entire truth.
karan gets angry as jai is not understanding his point and is blaming him for no mistake
on his part
karan: (shouts) then go and tell her jai that u in ur angry had shoved her out of ur car at night
in the middle of a busyroad without heading to her pleads or requests.
jai is shocked at karans outburst. but what karan said was truth. he took out his angry and
frustation he had for someone on the innocent bani. she just tried to make him feel better
and now that costed her a lot.
jai doesn't know whether he is upset with karan or with himself.
seeing jai sad karan realised what he said.
karan: i am sorry jai. i dint mean to be rude. its just that u r not understanding the situation.
do u think after listening to this she will keep queit. she will asks u more questions
why u were angry and what happened earlier and u wont have answers for all
those questions. and she will be upset with that. and now do u want to upset her?
jai nods his head in negative
karan: i know jai it is difficult for u to go through all these. and u dont want to tell her lie
but u rememeber one thing we r telling lies to save her directly or indirectly.
i know u feel bad for using her to solve ur personal problems. but jai when we
give someone something we will certainly expect something in return. its also the
same here jai. u r giving bani ur name, shelter , security, family and a safe life
and in return u are taking her to be granted as ur wife though she is not ur wife.
ofcourse without her knowledge. but i know she will understand when we tell her
the real reason why we did it all.
i know it sounds rude and its looks like a give and take bussiness proposal but
we dont have another way.
jai sighs and nods his head. karan is right. now he had no way to comeout of this. all the doors
are closed. he cannot blame anyone for his condition expect for himself
karan: now jai leave all this and relax. everything will be alright
suddenly jai rememebers something
jai : nothing is going to be alright karan and i also can't relax having problems on my head
karan: (smiling)now what happened? i solved all ur problems. now din't i?
jai : ofcourse u solved all the old problems.now a new problem occured
karan: jai why r u worrying. u know i will have solutions for all the problems. now tell
me what urs new problem
jai laughs at karans antics
jai : mom called me morning. she ordered me to bring her bahu by next monday. orelse
she will come here directly and will take her bahu along with her.
karan: (smiling)what is the problem about it jai? we decided na bani will be there temporary bahu
jai : karan i am serious. the problem is that how r we going to tell bani about it?
and what we will tell her? i mean why we r apart from my family and now how
they want us to return?
karan thinks for sometime and tells to jai
karan: dont worry jai. u just inform ur mother u will be coming with ur wife on next
monday. and about bani as i said earlier i will talk to her. so now u relax and have
a good and sound sleep. ok gudnight
saying so karan leaves to sleep in the guestroom. jai sits there in the study for sometime
thinking what will happen when he enters his home along with bani in MUMBAI
