Part 13

"What was so important that you couldnt wait for some days?" Ashok asked as soon as he pushed opened the door without realizing that the person he was expecting there was not alone.

"She is pregnant...with your baby...again. I guess that comes under important things." A voice answered back.

Ashok looked up clearly for the first time as voice sounded so familiar but he was not expecting her to be here in his biggest nightmare. Meeta was standing right in front of him but that voice was not hers. Then his eyes shifted to a figure standing in the corner of the room, shoulders slumped down in disappointment, face was tear stained yet eyes emanating angry fire. She was none other than Mini.

"Mmm...Miinnii...Mini ....tu...tum yaha...kaise aur ye...kya...keh...rahi ho..." Ashok stuttered being dumbfounded by Mini's presence.

"Stop it dad! Stop your acting. I have already talked to Meeta maasi. She has told me everything." Mini shouted back.

"Listen to me, dont listen to her. She must have fed lies to you. You are misunderstanding me beta." Ashok tried to save the situation somehow earning a glare from both Meeta and Mini.

"How could you Ashok? You are again denying to have any relation with me? How can you do this second time? Pehle bhi jab Mini ko sab sach pata chala tha tumne bade hi conveniently sara iljaam mujh par lagane ki koshish ki thi ye bolkar ki I seduced you otherwise you had no intention to cheat Babita didi. Jabki sach to ye hai ki you took first step towards me making me believe that how you were unhappy in this marriage and have always liked me more than Babita didi." Meeta dropped the truth bomb.

"Ye....ye sab bakwaas kar rahi hai Mini beta...tum iski baatein mat sunna." Ashok urged to Mini as he furiously looked at Meeta.

"I would have never believed her if I didnt had proof." Mini said while controlling her tears.

"What do you mean?" Ashok asked in confusion.

"I was doubtful ever since I met maasi at the hospital. Both of you told me different stories about why things are not good between maasi and mom. Then I was noticing you and mom. There were clearly some difference between you two. Then yesterday that phone call. I actually heard your conversation and despite my logical mind warning me against it, I decided to follow my hunch. I was ashamed of myself for doing that but I had to remove all the doubts from my mind so I took your phone at night when you had put it on charging and I read your call records and messages. My doubt was confirmed that it is something related to meeta maasi and you are hiding some truth from me. But even after that I couldnt bring myself to just point finger on you dad. So today in the morning I went to the hospital and inquired about Meeta maasi and I found out she was pregnant and she had given your name as her husband. I directly came here as I knew you would come to meet her today. She was already here. I confronted her and she spoke the truth finally." Mini explained how come she knew everything already.

"Dekho Mini tum jaisa samajh rahi ho waisa nahi hai....we are just...dekho main sab theek kar dunga. I have here to make her agree for abortion. I have told her clearly she cant have this baby. I will end things with her once and for all." Ashok tried to sabotage the situation.

"Really? You will end everything....like you did in the past? What do you think dad...how much I know? I am here since 2 hours and she has told me each and everything that you are cheating my mom since many years now. Not only this baby, but her elder child is also your son. You had extra marital affair with her then when she became pregnant, you had to marry her. You two kept fooling my mom for years until finally one day she caught you both. You did this same drama of ending everything that time also but you never changed, never stopped seeing her." Mini revealed more truth.

Ashok slumped down on sofa as he didnt really have anything to say in his defence. The cat was out of the bag. He did so much planning, so much scheming, ousted that Neil from Mini's life but once again his own ugly truth hit him hard and his daughter is again having disgust in her eyes for him.

"Why Meeta maasi....why you did this with my mom....with your own real sister? What kind of woman are you? And dad....why...you were my hero, my ideal....my everything...I looked up to you always....why?" Mini asked as she broke down.

While Meeta had no answer, she just hung her head down feeling ashamed, Ashok had calmed down a bit and now back in his true nature. He adjusted his glasses, took deep breath and called Babita there. There was a chance of Meeta - Babita clash but he thought now only Babita could calm down Mini.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Neil, lets meet tonight. Your favorite place...drinks and dinner from me. What say?" Simran asked over phone.

"No yaar Sim. I am really not interested." Neil denied as he knew what Simran was trying to do. It was clearly a setting for date but he was happy with spending lonely nights with Mini's memories instead of going on to dates.

"Arre Neil yaar jaisa tu samajh raha hai waisa nahi hai. Main bhi aunga waha. Hamara pura group hoga friends ka....chal na yaar kitne din ho gaye sab friends ko mile...mazaa aayega." Bobby who had snatched the phone from Simran now tried to convince him for friends get together.

After some more time, Neil had to agree as Bobby and Simran were not backing out.

"So whats the actual plan?" Bobby asked after he cut the call.

"We need this date if we want to pull Neil out of misery. Ye friends get together ke naam par usko bula to liya hai lekin its going to be a surprise date and I am personally look after everything." Simran winked at Bobby.

"Sirf tu hi Neil ko uske past se bahar nikal sakti hai. Tu jitna pyar Neil ko karti hai na....aur koi nahi karta yaar." Bobby admired Simran for it.

"Arre meri aur Neil ko jodi to bachpan se hi hit hai." Simran praised herself and laughed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mumma....yeh aap keh rahi hain...bhul jaun sabkuch jaise kuch hua hi nahi...how could you take it all this so lightly?" Mini was shocked when Babita came there and instead of slapping Ashok and Meeta on their faces, she asked her to forget about it.

"I have not taken anything lightly. In dono ne jo neech harkat ki hai uske liye main inhe kabhi maaf nahi kar paungi. I have ended my ties with Meeta, things have worsen between your dad and me forever now. Our marriage is just for namesake. Isse jyada aur kya sazaa doon main?" Babita asked in frustration.

"Bas...itna hi? Arre agar itni ghutan mein jee rahi hai dad ke sath to chhod kyu nahi deti unhe? He has insulted you by cheating with your sister. Divorce him, file a suit against both of them, sent them to jail, throw them out of your life or if you dont want legal battle then gracefully leave from his life. But what are you doing....just living normally pretending like nothing wrong ever happened and these two...these shameless people having life of their own." Mini was outraged by Babita's cold behaviour.

"Jaise bhi hain Ashok mere pati hain aur waise bhi jarur is chudail Meeta ne hi inhe phasaya hoga phir main kyu inhe divorce doon aur society mein apna reputation kharab karu, kyu chhodu inki property mein apna hissa? Cheating mere sath hui hai lekin I have made my peace with it. Jab tak ye characterless Meeta meri ankhon ke samne na aaye tab tak mujhe koi problem nahi. Bekar mein ye ghar khandaan ki izzat uchhalne ka koi matlab nahi lagta mujhe." Babita expressed her opinion.

"Wow! I want to clap for your hypocrisy mom. Affair dono ne kiye lekin galti point out karne ki baari aayi to bas Meeta maasi buri ban gayi...papa kya chhote bachhe the ki behak gaye inki baaton mein? Aur ye kya laga rakha hai...I have made my peace...How can any woman ever make peace with this? Instead of your self respect you are thinking about ghar khandan ki izzat, property mein hissa....are you for real?" Mini was not even more disgusted with everything.

"Mini beta dekho tumhari mom ne mujhe maaf kar diya hai tum bhi sab kuch bhul kyu jati?" Ashok made another attempt.

"Bhul to gayi thi na dad....bhul hi gayi thi sabkuch...lekin kismat dekho...sab phir se mere samne aa gaya. Aur ab aa gaya hai to...I am not stupid enough to digest all this shit. Aap mein se kisi mein ho na ho....mujhme meri self respect abhi tak hai." Mini stood up as if she made a decision.

"What do you mean?" Ashok asked dreading her answer. It was exactly happening like it happened previously when she came to know.

"I cant live with you guys anymore. I thought I have come back home but no...I was wrong...this is no home...a place where father cheats on his wife with his sister in law, a mother who accepts all this silently, a brother who is all willing to cheat his future wife and just marrying her for business and again a father who is so gladly arranged that business deal.....this can be anything but a family...anything but a home. If I stayed here for once more minute I will die of suffocation." Mini announced and moved outside.

Ashok kept standing there totally stunned. His daughter again walked out on him. What should he do....yes...no matter if she is leaving him but he wont let him go back to that Neil Oberoi. Yes,....Mickey....he is still there...there is a hope. Mini still trust him. Ashok called Mickey and narrated him the whole incidence and asked him to take Mini with him.

Part 14

"Neil yaar kab tak tu is tarah khud ko kaam mein itna busy rakhega ki teri koi social life hi na bache." Bobby asked as he saw Neil was working till late night in his restaurant.

"What would I do going back home early. Its empty. No one is waiting for me." Neil answered, the sadness from his tone could not be missed. It had become the part of his life now.

"Its been 6 months yaar. Your relationship has ended, think about moving on in life and tomorrow is the day when court will declare you officially divorced. You have to catch early morning flight also for last court hearing. Atleast take some rest." Simran advised him and felt sympathetic towards him. In all these months she has made many failed attempts to cheer up Neil and almost force him to move on, made him to go on dates but the end result was zero. Neil was still not over Mini and it seemed like he was counting days for his final divorce trial and the nearer the date came, the more unbearable it was becoming for him. He was on a verge of depression.

"I need to spend some time alone. You guys go home. I will be staying at the restaurant only." Neil dismissed them as he was really not in a mood to argue with them right now. He was drained from their constant lecture on moving on in life, their attempts to set up date for him, them treating him like he was some mental patient. Tomorrow, court will put a seal on the divorce. His last ray of hope will crush down and he wanted to mentally prepare himself for that. He needed some peace for that.

As Bobby and Simran left, a car stopped in front of restaurant. A person walked in the restaurant and Neil just know someone has come because of the noise of the door. He didnt bother to even look at the person.

"Excuse me! I want to place my order." Neil heard a female voice.

"Neil was irritated at the disturbance. He checked his watch. It was almost midnight. "Kitchen is closed. No staff is here. I am not taking any order." Neil answered rudely.

"But my baby is hungry. If you can make noodles for me, it will be really nice." The person requested.

And Neil was more irritated now. "Its midnight! Who the hell keeps their baby hungry till midnight? And what kind of a person eats noodles at this late hour?" Neil shouted back. He was really feeling annoyed now. Till now he has somehow managed to keep his calm hoping against the hope that somehow miracle will happen and Mini will change her mind but now that last trial of divorce was about to happen, his hope was crushed at the cruel hands of destiny and he couldnt help but be angry from God, from the world for snatching away his love and injustice done to him since his birth. He wanted to wallow in self pity tonight but he couldnt have this small mercy also as someone stupid was knocking his restaurant's door at midnight.

"My baby is not born yet and what to do pregnancy hormones make me have these strange cravings." The Lady replied.

Neil was about to answer back when finally it dawned upon him that voice sounded so familiar. He was so engrossed in his sadness that he didnt pay even slightest of attention earlier.

"So can you make noodles for us please?" Lady requested again.

And this time Neil was sure who's voice is this but how can it be possible? Neil stood up from the kitchen floor and almost ran outside to see that miracle happening in front of his eyes at last. His prayers were answered after all. He saw Mini was sitting at corner table smiling at him.

Neil ran in her direction unable to content his feelings. Surprise, happiness, sadness all felt by him at once. "Mini...Mini...you here...like really here?" He uttered with difficulty feeling that hi voice is choked because of emotions.

Mini just nodded her head in yes as tears made her eyes wet too and it was difficult for her too to say anything. Neil sat down opposite her and with trembling hand he dared to touch her praying silently that God please dont let it turn out to be my dream. And he sighed in relief when Mini didnt vanish in thin air when he touched her.

"Mini...you...what...are you...tomorrow is final hearing..." He wanted to ask has she changed her mind and decided to be with him but then one more important fact struck him. She had said she is craving for noodles, her pregnancy...her baby...oh God! Is it...is it...really true?

"Are you...preg...I mean...were talking about your...no...our baby? Have you not aborted?" Neil asked with difficulty. Few minutes ago he felt his pain was too much and he will die of heart attack. Now he was still feeling the same but now his heart attack would be because of unbearable happiness.

Mini didnt reply anything. She just stood up from her chair to reveal her heavily pregnant belly which was hidden till now due to the table. Neil gasped as he couldnt believe his destiny. Mini has not aborted their baby. Their dream is still alive. There is still a chance for them. As if to confirm it, he pulled Mini towards himself and caressed her belly lovingly. After that he couldnt stop stream of tears that flooded his eyes. He hugged her from the waist, kissing on her belly multiple times and finally rested his head on it. Thats when he felt it for the first time. Mini winced at the discomfort and he immediately made her sit.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Neil asked in concern.

"Hmm...it just our baby is really excited after meeting his papa. He has started playing football inside me." Mini laughed.

"Really! So it was our baby's kick?" Neil asked now realizing what was that strange moment he felt a while ago while he was hugging Mini.

"Hmm...you wanna feel that again?" Mini asked and without waiting for his answer kept his hand on her belly and as the baby kicked again Neil's heart was so full of happiness and love that he feared it will explode.

"So...?" Neil asked after sometime to start the conversation.

"So...?" Mini replied the same as she didnt know from where she should start.

"You changed your mind? Will you give this marriage a chance?" Neil asked hopefully.

"Yes....only if, you are still willing to be with me." Mini answered feeling nervous about his confirmation.

"Still willing? There was no second when I wasnt willing to be with you." Neil answered honestly.

"Really? Not even when that hot girl was hugging you?" Mini gave voice to her insecurities.

"Which hot girl?" Neil asked in confusion.

"The one at the court. Isnt she the same one who left restaurant just before I entered. I saw her, she is really pretty and looks like she really cares for you." Mini explained and realized she is indeed jealous of that girl.

Finally Neil understood Mini was talking about Simran. "Oh, that one. She is Simran and....you are right, she is beautiful and to be honest if she wouldnt have been here for me then I dont know how would I have handled myself." Neil replied with out revealing the identity of Simran.

"Oh...so you guys are really close it seems. So she wouldnt mind if you choose to keep this marriage?" Mini was now pouting feeling upset over their closeness.

Neil laughed at her expressions. She looked all the more cute like jealous little angel. "She wouldnt mind. In fact she would be happy that her brother finally got his wife back." Neil spilled the beans what Simran is to him and saw Mini's expression changing from relieved to happy then to sheepish smile.

"She is your sister! But you are orphan right?" Mini expressed her doubt.

"Yes, we grew up together in same orphanage and she is like a sister to me. She considers me her baby bro and can do anything for my happiness." Neil informed.

"Oh...God! Dont know how many people I have forgotten. This memory loss sucks." Mini declared.

"So what made you change your mind?" Neil asked and he now stood up to go in the kitchen as he remembered she had asked for noodles and Mini followed him.

"I got to know the truth about my family. Why I must have drifted away from them." Mini informed as she relived again those shocking truth of her family.

"Hmm...it must be really painful for you?" Neil sympathized with her.

Mini was shocked he didnt ask for the details and doesnt even looked surprised. That could only means..."Neil, you knew the truth about my family?"

"Yes, I knew your father was having affair with your maasi and your mom didnt do anything for that. Your brother was almost like your father, practical, cunning and lose character...you hated all this. For the longest time you were living in your own bubble when one by one these truth bombs dropped on you...you became emotionally detached from them." Neil answered as he did preparations for making noodles.

"You knew from the starting and yet you didnt tell me! Why Neil? I would have never gone to Delhi if I knew." Mini nearly shouted.

"I an orphan. I know the importance of family. I thought may be its for the best that you forgot their mistakes and this way you can get your family back and another reason of hiding the truth was that you would have never believed me. Think about it, when you woke up I was stranger to you. Would you have believed all these bitter truths about your family from a stranger. It would have made matter worse." Neil explained calmly about his dilemma and Mini realized he was right. If she hadnt heard it from her own ears she wasnt willing to doubt her dad. And if Neil would have said those horrible things she would have definitely thought that he is making up stories. Its good that she found out on her own.

"When and how you found out?" Neil asked her as he took her out and made her sit to feed her noodles.

Mini told all about those confrontations with her family. "After leaving from there I couldnt live in that house. I packed my bags and wondering where to go when Mickey came to pick me up."

Mini noticed Neil became stiff on his mention. He even stopped feeding her noodles. Mini realized what might be going through his mind. She held his hand in assurance, "I am sorry for that night. It wasnt really my fault." MIni apologized referring to that moment when Mickey had unexpectedly kissed her at the party.

"I wish I had some memory loss to forget that horrible party." Neil muttered under his breath then he saw Mini's sad face and decided to let it go for good. "Its ok, lets not talk about it ever in our life." Neil assured her as he pressed her hand gently and finally Mini smiled a little.

"So, it seems you went with that Mickey mouse. So what happened after that? How did you find that he is nothing but a scumbag?" Neil asked and couldnt hide the jealosuy and anger he felt whenever he thought about that Mickey mouse.

"You knew about him too?" Mini asked again in surprise as how much Neil knew about her past life and yet he didnt tell her anything even when she was hurting him by her behaviour.

"Yes I knew, you told me once before your accident. You had shared all details of your life during our courtship only." Neil revealed.

"I didnt have to do anything. He revealed his intentions and character by himself on same day only." Mini answered.

"Really? What did he do?" Neil was curious now.

"I will not lie to you since I am here to start again with you. So, I did feel relief seeing him there. I had no where to go and I felt now he is the only person I can depend upon. But there was this guilt eating me up from inside. I went for the procedure in the hospital but then didnt abort the baby. I didnt tell anyone about it because all had advised me against it. So I thought I will explain them on right time. I knew papa was talking about my engagement with Mickey and he was all excited but I couldnt cheat him like that. I wanted to tell him the truth about my pregnancy but didnt know how I am gonna do it. In between, all this happened and he took me with him. I felt like this is the right time or there will be no difference between me and papa if I keep him in dark. So I told him that I was still pregnant and I have decided to keep this baby. So if he want to get engaged then he has to accept me with the baby or can say no." Mini revealed the truth.

"Then what happened?" Neil inquire further.

"He lost his mind. Said some really mean things about me and our baby. He revealed that papa had offered him a business deal in exchange of this engagement or else he had no interest in getting engaged to a married woman and that too a woman like me who is so boring and reeks of rotten orthodox life principles. Apparently, he was just like my brother, wanted to marry high class girl but didnt want to give up on his debauchery. In fact thats the reason why I first broke up with him. He was ready to take me back because of business deal but in no way he was willing to be father of readymade baby not even for a profitable business deal." Mini told in one breath.

"The scumbag that he is..." Neil became angry in hearing his mean words for Mini. But Mini calmed him down.

"Relax! Its good na that I got to know his real nature.

"When you came to know all these truth?" Neil inquired again.

"Three months ago." Mini answered.

"What! Then why didnt you come here earlier?" Neil didnt like that fact that even after knowing truth she took so much time.

"I came to knew why I drifted away from my family and broke up with Mickey but I still didnt know why I left Delhi and though I had no wish to live with my family but you still were stranger for me. I was confused. I couldnt decide what to do." Mini shared her perspective.

"Then? What made you change your mind?" Neil was curious again.

"I rented a pg. Decided to focus on my MBA so that I get a decent job to look after myself and the baby. Since I didnt want to take any financial help from papa, I decided to do something to earn some money. And only other talent I had was photography. So I started to take small assignment. Thats when I realized that MBA didnt interest me anymore and I really enjoy photography and thats how I quit the college. Then one day when I was returning from work I met Sonia, my best friend. We chatted for a while and she came to know that I have found out everything. She was so relieved to here that. I asked her the reason and then she told me everything. How she knew about my changing life, my sour relations with my family, why I left MBA, why I broke up with Mickey, how I went to Manali and met you, fall in love and how I was the happiest to be with you. She is my best friend so I used to share everything with her." Mini sighed as she completed.

"If she knew then why she didnt tell you earlier and confused you about me and our baby?" Neil couldnt help but ask.

"Papa again...he had blackmailed her to not reveal anything and confuse me even more. Something related to her husband's career and she had no other option." Mini said and was again disappointed thinking about Ashok.

"God! I never knew your father can go this far." Neil felt disgusted too.

"I knew somewhere deep down that I must have felt strongly for you thats why we got married but I dont know myself what took me so long to realize it." Mini confessed.

"A part of your memory is lost. You were clueless about me. No matter how much strongly one feels but mind needs some kind of assurance, some validation from sources too. Thats what happened with you." Neil understood her feelings.

"What made you change your mind about baby?" Neil couldnt help but ask as he thought this was the starting when things begin to change for good.

"A mircale...in true sense." MIni answered as she smiled remembering her appointment at hospital.

"Elaborate please." Neil was impatient.

"First you tell me, has it ever happened between us when I said to you something like ..."This baby is my dream, I want it more than anything else now. Promise me, my dream will be fulfilled.""

Neil was surprised she actually remembered something from their past. "Yes, it did happen. You said exactly the same thing on our wedding night. How did you remember this? Did you remember anything else also?"

"No, I didnt remember anything else. Thats why I am calling it a miracle. Just when the procedure was about to start, I closed my eyes praying God to give me courage and suddenly I felt like I was reliving this moment from past. Like its happening in front of my eyes again. The feelings in those words, my eyes....they were ...the hope in them....I felt every bit of it. Thats how I realized that more than you, I must have wanted this baby and I am doing greatest mistake by aborting it. I changed my mind that instance and walked out of hospital. After that I thought may be I will have some other glimpses of my life with you but then except this nothing else happened." Mini shared her experience.

"We dont need past memories, do we? When we are together to give ourselves another chance, we will make many new memories to cherish." Neil told her as he hugged her and Mini couldnt agree more. All this time she kept fighting with herself, her love for him and their baby and now that she has finally decided to give in, she realized this is what she was missing the most, the warmth of his embrace, the hope of beautiful future with him. She felt completed.

After another month, Mini gave birth to baby girl. They named her Arya. Simran, Bobby and all of their other friends were happy for them. She got surprised when Babita came to meet her. Mini couldnt forgive and forget everything but still she let her take this small step in right direction and didnt deny her the joy of being grand parent.

Mini and Neil lived happily ever after with their daughter. Mini didnt get her memory back ever but as Neil told her, they have made so many of new happy memories that they didnt need the old ones. Mini stopped feeling that a part of her life's puzzle was missing due to memory loss. Her life was so filled with love and positivity that she stopped caring about it. She started considering herself lucky as she got to fell in love with Neil all over again and Neil was more than happy to rekindle their love story again.
