Chapter 11: chapter 11

Jogesh went to see Jogya alongwith Jhilmil and Jharna.He entered the room as he asked him,"Jogya, how can you let this woman stay in your house after her committing a grave mistake which changed your life forever, many years ago?"Jogya told him,"Welcome, Jogesh how are you, Jhilmil please prepare tea for my friend and bring some snacks too as he seems to be in a bad mood!"Jogesh replied to him angrily,"Jhilmil you don't have to prepare anything as I don't even want to drink water in this house!"Jogya looked at him and told him,"There is a lipstick mark on your cheeks, the colour matches perfectly with the lipstick of Jhilmil, a deep red colour, so you are quite comfortable in being intimate with your best friend's wife but you feel that drinking water in this house is forbidden for you! My friend, Jamuni is my true love but she never back stabbed her husband by having an illicit affair with me, behind his back.Unlike you and Jhilmil who always cheated on me and I also know that Jamuna is the daughter of Jogesh. Still, I love her more than anyone else!"Jamuna said to her mother Jhilmil,"Mother, I can't believe this!"Jogya felt bad that his daughter found out about her real biological father so soon!Jhilmil told him,"How dare you to accuse me like this, when you are responsible for all my problems in life?"Jogya asked her,"So, it was me who asked you to marry me leaving all the eligible bachelors in this village, right;"Jhilmil told him,"I did a favour to you by marrying you, otherwise you would have become a Sanyasi, an ascetic or wanderer in her love!"Jogya told Jamuni,"Do you know that Jogesh loved Jhilmil but she got married to me because she was jealous of our true love for each other!"Jogesh revealed his best weapon, the secret of Jamuni which even she was unaware of till now, as he told her,"Do you know Jamuni, how Jogya's mother died many years ago!"Jogya shouted at Jogesh,"Don't even say a single word about my mother otherwise I will cross all the boundaries of friendship and will throw you out of my house!"Jogesh shouted back before leaving,"I am also not interested in spending even one more second in this house, but always remember my words, this woman called Jamuni has always brought pain, misery and sadness to your life, years ago your mother died because of her and now she has come to claim your life, she is a misfortune, a cloud of purple haze which never gives rain but always strikes people dead with lightening and thunderstorm, just mark my words, my friend, she is not good for us!"Jamuni got confused after listening to such harsh words from Jogesh.She looked pleadingly at Jhilmil but she left without saying a single word.Jogya asked Jamuni to come with him to spend some time in his forest house at the top of the mountain.As both of them climbed the rocky mountains , Jogya saw that Jamuni was not able to breathe properly.She was gasping for air after taking few steps so he lifted her in his arms and carried her to his secret home where he often came to forget his pain and misfortune.Jogya told her,"Do you know, that I often had a vision of carrying you in my arms and today my vision proved to be correct. Do you also believe in such things, premonition, signs and past life lovers kind of thing?"Jamuni smiled at him as she shared her own perspective regarding past life connection,"Of course, I believe in it. We all have a karmic account with each other, which we must settle before saying goodbye to this world!"Jogya was surprised to hear that,"Really, I thought you have stopped believing in all these things after living in a modern city!""I live in a city, but my heart is always here with you, my true love!" Jamuni said, smilingly.Jogya put her down when they reached his secret house surrounded by a beautiful waterfall and mighty mountains.Jamuni looked at the beautiful waterfall and told him, "Let's go to the waterfall and have a good time after so long!"Jogya and Jamuni went behind the waterfall and entered the cave which was their secret meeting place, many years ago!"I have built my house in front of this waterfall to relive my beautiful memory of being with each other like true lovers!""Really, Jogya did you miss me so much, then why didn't you come to me before!""Yes, I should have come to you many years ago but then I thought that one day, you will return to me forever!"Jamuni asked him,"How did you know that, Jogya!""I knew that because I loved you!"Jamuni asked him,"Jogya, even my husband never loved me even after I gave him everything one could ask for in the name of love, but you loved me even though I never gave you anything except pain in the name of love!""Yes, that is the beauty of true love, it never asks for anything in return, it never imposes any conditions in the name of love, it never asks for any proof to believe in love, it never feels jealous of others who might be loved by the one whom they love, pure love is like a shade of tree called selflessness which gives you shade whenever you sit under it but never binds you as love never believes in putting chains, in fact true love sets you free!" Jogya said while thinking about the true nature of love.Jamuni asked him,"Do you love me, Jogya?""Yes, I love you deep enough to not violate your mind, body and soul by taking advantage of your vulnerability and making you mine forever by destroying your spirit and maligning the name of love!" Jogya replied.
