Chapter 14: chapter 14

Jogya and Jamuna accompanied Jamuni to her home situated amidst the high-rises and city noises.Jamuni was happy that her true love has come to guide her through the maze of life.She asked Jogya,"Did you like my home?""Yes, it's beautiful but quiet! You might feel lonely if nobody visits you often!" Jogya told her."Yes, people are rich and lonely who live in city but it is still better to have home than being homeless in this unknown city!" Jamuni  told Jogya as she felt grateful for having a home in this city.Suddenly her phone rang and Jamuni answered the call,"Yes, yes I am back! No, I have a friend and his daughter for company. Yes, they would love to meet you. Ok, why don't you come tonight at my place and I will cook your favourite fried fish, rice and Dal. See you tonight, bye!" Jamuni disconnected the call."You were speaking to your family member, I guess!" Jogya asked her."Yes, he is my one and only family member I have in this whole city!" Jamuni said in a soft audible voice filled with love for the person who called her, few minutes ago.Jamuni prepared many dishes for her guest who was going to arrive at her place for dinner.The door bell rang and Jamuni opened the door for her guest.A handsome young man came through the door and touched the feet of Jogya out of respect.Jamuna said, "Hello!" to the young man who resembled Jogya.Jamuni introduced her son Jignesh to Jogya by saying, "Meet my son, Jignesh. He is a Doctor and a famous surgeon in one of the best hospitals of this city!"Jogya blessed the young man by saying,"God bless you!"Jignesh smiled at him and he told his mother Jamuni, "Mom, who is this young girl, she just looks like you?""She is my friend Jogya's daughter and has come to this city to complete her studies and become self-reliant!" Jamuni replied.Jignesh told his mother,"Mom, Pari is still angry with me. She said that if you will agree to her condition then she will cancel the wedding!"Jamuni looked disturbed after listening to it.She served all the favourite dishes of Jignesh and they all enjoyed eating it.After he left for his duty at hospital, Jogya and Jamuni prepared some back tea for themselves while Jamuna went to sleep in her room as she felt extremely tired after spending one whole day in city.Jogya asked Jamuni,"Who is Pari and why were you looking so anxious as Jignesh mentioned some condition being put by her?"Jamuni started crying as she narrated her story,"Pari is the fiancee of Jignesh. She has asked him to break all ties with me as her parents feel that I am not a good woman as per the standards of their high profile society and their rich and successful friends.""Who cares for such things when no one has time to visit each other due to their fast paced lives in this city," Jogya shared his thoughts with her."That's true but Pari told him that if he fails to break his bond with me then she will marry someone else!" Jamuni cried after sharing her side of story."Where is his father, why can't he tell him not to get married to someone who doesn't respect the bond of a mother and son?" Jogya asked."I had married twice!" Jamuni confessed to him."Really, how did this happen, I am sure you must have your own reasons for doing so, I am not judging you at all but I am worried for you and I want to know everything about you before I could help you in removing the knots in the thread of your life!" Jogya showed his concern for his childhood friend and love of his life.Jamuni started crying as she had no one with whom she could share her feelings without being judged in an unfair manner.She told Jogya, "I got married to Neelesh, the CEO of my first company after I joined another company run by Sumit.One day, I saw a love letter written by a woman called Maya who has written that she never loved her husband Sumit and she only agreed to marry him as he was the son of a rich businessman. Maya confessed her love for my husband Neelesh and asked him to use me as a cover up for their affair.I was furious after finding out about their affair and left my home to make a plan so that I could teach Neelesh and Maya a good lesson for their deception and lies.I met Niharika and asked her if there was someone who could help me in seeking revenge from my ex-husband and she told me that her Boss Jiten could help me in my mission and she asked me to join her on her office party.I met Jiten and he swept me off my feet. He spoke to me with love and concern, which made me comfort in his company.He helped in filing for divorce from my ex-husband Neelesh and supported my financially as well as personally.I still loved Neelesh as he was my ex-husband but he was not able to forget his love for Maya, his first love.Even during the process of my divorce, I kept hoping against hope that Neelesh will leave his girlfriend and will come back to my life.I was such a believer of marriage and companionship that I felt the marital bond will weigh more than the bond of love.I never accepted Jiten's love as I was waiting to be reunited with my ex-husband Neelesh.I waited and waited but in the end, my divorce was final and I became single once again in my life. I was free to go anywhereor do anything with my life, yet my heart wanted to be attached to someone who loved me more than anyone else in this world!"
