OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 101 – 110
Episode 104
The car ride was silent. When we reached there, Ma and Jaai were already waiting for us.
As soon as Ahana got out of the car, she greeted Ma and left. So Jaai and I were left alone. It felt awkward.
“Hi…” is all I could say.
You could say that I was feeling a bit guilty now. I never trusted him, and he was the one who was always with Ahana while I should have been the one by her side. He always took my place.
“Hey!” he said, smiling brightly. Is he always so warm?
We walked until we reached the garden. I saw Ahana and Ma with the kids. She looked very happy. That sparkle in her eyes told it all.
“So… Ahana told you my story… Finally…” Jaai said, breaking the silence.
I gave him a surprised look. How did he know?
“Of course… Or else you wouldn’t even look at me. Saying ‘Hi!’ is out of the question,” he laughed.
“Yay!! But I am sorry anyways….”
“Are you sorry for what you thought about Ahana and me, or are you sorry for what I am going through now…”
I looked at him, astonished. Technically, I didn’t have an answer.
“Okay!!! Fine… I know you can’t answer that. So I take it as both.
But, trust me Ansh… You are very lucky to have her, and most importantly, she won’t leave you ever,” he said beside me. We were standing a bit away from the crowd.
I knew I was lucky, but I don’t know for how long it would last. The previous day, I thought she left me.
“Ahana… is a girl in millions. Don’t let her go away. She has a golden heart, and most importantly, she is a person who forgives and forgets…” he said a while later.
I remember Ahana said that Zara couldn’t forgive and forget what Jaai did.
“But… do you think that she will forgive me? I have committed many mistakes,” I said sadly.
“Ansh… Believe me… She was never angry with you. She always looks for the goodness in a person.
And I am sure she has seen it in you. She never holds someone’s hand to leave it when he needs it the most.”
“I know… I don’t deserve her, right?”
“Well… Technically and emotionally…
Yeah… And that’s why you are the lucky one. But if you think she can’t live alone, then you are wrong. She is an independent person. She is with you only because she knows you need her more than she needs you…”
I was looking at him in awe.
“You really know her well…”
“Yup… Friends forever,” he said with a wide smile on his face.
“But… Jaai… She really must be hating me now…”
At once, I saw his change of expression.
“Ansh… For God’s sake… Are you insane? She is pregnant with your baby. Do you really think she hates you? And if she did, I don’t think you would have been celebrating your 1st Anniversary. I know you didn’t celebrate though, but I am sure you have many more to come and celebrate.”
“But…” I protested.
“Look… Man… I know things are off between you. But, stop confusing her.”
“I am confusing her?” Was it a rhetorical question?
“Yes… You are confusing her. She never fell for someone, but then you are blocking her heart. And I know you are not confused. Actually, you never were confused.”
I gave him a surprised look. This guy was something else. He was a surprise package.
“Don’t look at me, buddy… What do you think…
Only you have the power to conduct a Background Check. Even I can do that.”
Goodness… Does He knows everything?
“Ahana is my family. I can’t let her marry anyone. It’s a different thing that I couldn’t attend it, but I was the first one to know about it.
Although she didn’t tell me because I knew I would be the first one to know if she fell in love, but your case was different though.
Ansh!! Do you know why Ahana and I call each other Queen and Hero? Because Ahana already has her King, and I have my Heroine…. Isn’t it? It’s all a matter of how one perceives it.”
I nodded. He knew that she was forced, but I doubt he knew about the AGREEMENT part. If he knew, I don’t think I would be alive by now.
Just then his cell rang. He answered it and was about to hang up when I saw the wallpaper.
“Hey…. She is Ahana, right?”
He smiled and quickly opened it.
“Here…. She looks different then? A bit chubby. And this lady beside is Zara. And the person in the middle is me.”
“Yay! I can see. You have received a lot of love from them.” I said smiling as both the girls were side hugging him.
“Hmmm… They were my only family when Dad and Mom passed away. But then I lost my Love too.
A very important person in my life. And I didn’t get a chance to make up for it. Hence I don’t want to lose Ahana ever.”
“Can you show me more of those?” I asked.
“Of course… This was the latest one, 3 years ago.”
“Do you know where she is?”
“Trust me, if I knew she would be standing next to me here. My detective said that he had some information about her being in London, but then he lost track.”
I was still having a look at the pictures. They looked madly in love.
“Ansh…. I didn’t get a chance, but you have, don’t let it go. Ahana is never going to leave you, so don’t waste your time. My story is incomplete, but I don’t want that to happen to her. Make it up.”
