Chapter 24: chapter 24

Jamuni received a call from Jignesh one day,"Hello, mother...  This is me Jignesh...  Neelesh Uncle is not well and he needs someone to take care of him...I can't take him to my place as I am mostly busy with my patients at hospital...Can you keep him at your place for sometime?He is also ready to come to your house but I thought I should ask you before bringing him to your place!"Jamuni thought for sometime and told him,"Ok, dear...  You can bring him to my house...   I will take care of him...  See you soon.."Jamuni disconnected the call and saw Jogya looking at her with surprise.He asked her,"Why did you ask Jignesh to bring Neelesh to your house if you are not comfortable in his presence!"Jamuni felt a deep pain in her heart as she knew that Neelesh will deliberately hurt her in front of Jogya, she said in a soft voice,"I have to face the consequences of my bad choices and wrong actions. My past will not let me have peace of mind till I confront it and resolve all my unresolved issues once and for all!"Suddenly, she received a call from Sumit her ex-boss and Neelesh's girlfriend Maya's ex-husband,"Hello, Jamuni...  How are you dear ...  Jigyasa wanted to see you after I told her...  About her mother...  Krishika is also coming with us...  We all want to give you a small token of gift   See you dear...Bye!"Jamuni gave Jogya a perplexed look.She told him,"My ex-boss Sumit wants to come here with his family to give us their best wishes. Neelesh is also about to reach here anytime soon with Jignesh. When Neelesh will see Sumit then they might start arguing and Jignesh will also meet his sister for the first time after they got separated at the hospital!"Jogya was confused after trying to make sense of all the information. He asked Jamuni,"So what will you do now, Jamuni?"Jamuni just dropped her shoulders as if she just left everything in the hands of Almighty!She realised that since nothing was in her hands so it was better to do her part without worrying much about the outcome as the final result is never in our hands.Humans try to control everything around themselves but forget that they are mostly at the mercy of the external situations in life.When the Time is good, everyone behaves like a friend but when the time is bad, even a friend becomes your enemy!Every situation gives us an opportunity to grow and a lesson to learn which will help us in dealing with our future problems.Jamuni decided that she will take her problems head on and will not shy from accepting her mistakes while keeping her dignity intact as there is a well know saying that, "To err is human, to forgive is divine."If her loved ones truly cared for her then they will give her one chance to prove herself!Jamuni welcomed Sumit, his wife Krishika and his daughter Jigyasa in a warm and friendly manner.She introduced Jogya to them by saying,"He is Jogya, my true love and my true Destiny!"Jogya greeted Sumit and his family by a friendly handshake.Sumit admired the handsome and muscular man who was sitting in front of him. His physique and aura was giving him a charismatic look. He looked wise and loving.Sumit paid him compliment by saying,"It is my good luck that you never came to city when you were young otherwise all the women would have a crush on you!"Jogya smiled and told him,"It is my good luck that you didn't fall in love with Jamuni otherwise she would have never returned to her village in search of true love!"Sumit smiled as he was impressed with this handsome man who was also a perfect gentleman.He said to Jamuni,"Where have you hidden him for so long? He is truly a gem of a person and a perfect husband material!"Jamuni blushed like a bride after receiving a compliment from her ex-boss.Krishika said to Jogya,"If I am happy and alive today, then all the credit goes to her as Jamuni had given me a lot of strength after my boyfriend left me pregnant and got married to my own best friend. My daughter Mahika was adopted by Jamuni's best friend Niharika and her husband. She even gave name Mahika MayaJamuni as she wanted both the names attached to my girl as her guardian angels. When she asked me to adopt her daughter Jigyasa, I was on cloud nine as I missed my own daughter Mahika a lot and I could not give her mother's love because I was an unmarried mother who was not financially stable in her life.When Jamuni asked Sumit to meet me, then we both felt a deep connection with each other as our partners had cheated on us and left a deep cut in our hearts. Our love for each other helped us in healing our wounds of heartbreak.Jigyasa gave us so much love that I sometimes forget that she is Jamuni's daughter."Jigyasa hugged Krishika as she told her,"Jamuni is my mom but you are my mother as I love you more than anything else in this world!"Sumit tried to make the atmosphere light by displaying his fake anger,"So, I don't mean anything to you, huh... It's only your Jamuni Mom and Krishika Mom, Dad has no meaning in your life, it seems to me that you don't even love me!"Jigyasa gave a warm hug to her father as she told him,"You are the best father in this whole world as no one can do what you have done for a Fatherless daughter like me! Sometimes, I feel that I am truly unfortunate that I never met my real father but when I see you then I realise that you are the best father I coul have ever asked for in this whole world!"
