WOW!!!
I have like not updated FOREVERRR (like 6 months….😳
Well this is the LAST update.
RECAP: Well the accident, and prem is killing Lakshmi
*********
Perms Rings were dissolving into her throat, and there was nothing she could do about it but scream, kul finally managed to break prem apart from Lakshmi, but she knew he was killing her with his deadly glare.
Jai walked up to his father, his eyes looked as tired as perms, and sighed.
Jai: Its okeay dad.
Prem: WHAT THE HELL!!!!
He didn't mean to scare jai, but prem jerked away, and ran his hand through his hair.
Prem: don't cry don't cry….your not supposed to cry…
He took a deep breath, and held himself together….
Well, he tried.
Before he knew it the tears he held back for years spewed out. The day aryan died, he cried for that, the day Neha went missing, he cried for that, the times his family was hurting, and he had to be the roots and keeping them grounded, he cried for all the times he hadn't cried. He couldn't take it anymore. Soon he just sat down and hugged his knees, while Jai looked helplessly at his father.
Jai: dad, get up, this isn't the time for an emotional break down
He tried to keep his voice from shaking- you know make it like a joke, and make prem laugh, but It didn't work.
Tina: Jai Bhai, what do we do?
Jai: Call in the big guns.
Tina: huh?
Jai: dadi.
Even though Jai did not have his license yet. He could drive, do to the fact, as mukti would say, "Prem your so irresponsible, you cant teach them to drive yet!"
Prem, "But there soo good basanti!!!!!!!!!"
Jai chuckled at the old moment, as he drove off, prem sat in front half dead.
Tina: Jai Bhai, what if you get in troubles, you cant drive!
Jai: Dad taught me and Aryan when we were 12. And plus I'm old enough to get one in Canada, I just haven't done the test yet.
Piya: Jai, seriously you should let me drive you look too tired.
Tina: Di, will mom be alright?
Piya: I don't know hun, were going to the hospital to find out.
Jai: did you call dadi?
Piya: yeah, and she's coming, but she wont make it till tomorrow.
Jai: what she say?
Piya: And I quote, "WHAT!" Then she got details, and said she's coming.
Jai: were here.
Tina: what about daddy, he looks soo quite.
Piya: Jai take him with you. But I don't think he's feeling well, well I don't think anyone would after an emotional breakdown.
Tina: whats that?
Jai: something we pray never happens in this house again.
Just as jai finish Parking the Cadillac. Kul pulled up beside him, Lucky, and Jiya with him, and Lakshmi too.
Jai Ignored the family, even Jiya. Casually walked to the passenger door, and got prem out, who was now shaking.
Kul: Jai Let me help you..
Jai: I think your wife has helped enough sir.
Silince.
Normally Jiya wouldn't take any type of crap about her family, even if it was from her boyfriend.
But tonight she knew it was her mother who had crossed the line.
Lakshmi: Jai beta, I didn't do it on purpose.
Jai was about to give a smart ass coment that he is known for. But Piya spoke before he could.
Piya: No! of course you didn't! Look our parents have given us enough manners to not be rude enough to kill you right now. So It's best if we just don't talk.
Prem moved on his own to the door. He wasn't brain dead or anything, he just wanted to shut everything out.
The moment piya opened her mouth, he felt like laughing, because the way she said it sounded something mother India would say.
Jiya: Okeay Piya no need to get all tensed, we're just here to help.
Piya: You mom already helped. Jai take dad inside.
After his silence prem finally spoke: Oh god I'm not deaf or brain dead people! If I don't talk for an hour doesn't mean I don't have an opinion!
Tina smiled and hugged prem, and pecked him on the check.
Tina: DADDY! Your okeay!
Prem: yeah I'm fine; daddy needed some quite time hun.
Jai: smiled.
Prem: oh and Jai, your parking has improved.
Kul smiled because he felt prem had forgiven him.
Prem: what you smiling at?
Kul: what?
Prem: your wife is going to pay. Don't worry you know Prem keeps his promises.
Jiya: Mr. Bajaj I don't think this is the time.
Prem: hun, don't speak when two…no sorry one adult, that would be me, and one idiot that would be your dad, are talking.
Jai: come on dad, moms inside.
Prem: I can't see her. You go.
Piya: no, you have to go dad, she's okeay…but Neha isn't.
Lakshmi: What! What happened to Kajal!
Prem: its Neha.
Lakshmi ignored him and strolled into the emergency room doors.
Then Kul followed, and finally prem decided he should go to, before he started crying again.
Jai: Piya take Tina home please, here are the keys, and stay there.
Piya: but…
Jai: please just do it without an argument.
Piya drove off and finally Jiya and Jai were alone, she went up to him which was sort of weird in a middle of a hospital parking lot, with a black tang top and loonie toon pyjamas on.
Jiya: Jai….
Jai just ignored her and walked to the door.
Jiya: JAI!
Halfway across the parking lot, he finally yelled.
Jai: WE'RE OVER.
She looked at him. And a tear or two rolled down her face, then in a shaky voice she tried to yell… "F.I….NE!"
But it didn't come out, she just cried.
*********
At the hospital, the doctor was seriously busy, didn't have time to talk with Prem or Kul, running in from one room to another. Finally he came out.
Prem: whats wrong?
Doctor: well, Ms Bajaj is alright, but the little girl needs some serious help. She keeps on coming in and out of koma, but we're trying. They both had hypothermia, the water was freezing, and the high cold winds didn't help.
Lakshmi: Can we see our daughter?
Doctor: Well Mr. Bajaj can, as far as I know he is the parent and husband right?
Prem smiled, a weak smile, but wasn't so evil, he knew Kajal or Neha was there's now.
Prem: No, they are. I'm just the biological parent.
Lakshmi looked at prem she felt soo bad, she didn't mean to hit mukti nad Kajal but she did. Yet she was shocked that he haded killed her
Prem: anyways, while there meeting there daughter can I meet my wife?
Docotr: sure, I think she has amesa though, but I cant be sure, because well I don't know anything about her life.
As Soon as Prem met Jai in the hallway, he talked to him about the situation.
Jai: what?
Prem: yeah pretty intense.
Jai: Dad you do realize you can cover up the how Kajal/Neha thing right?
Prem: yeah I was thinking that to, but you know what lets talk to your mom first, and if it seems that she really cant remember anything then will act out as if were surprised. Other wise…
Jai: otherwise what?
Prem: We're so screwed.
Prem, was a little surprised, but thought its probably for the better, if she dosent know that Kajal is Neha, and they could put this in there past.
He walked in and saw a dazed mukti looking at her hands, she was a little bruised up, but everything else was fine.
Prem: hey jaan how are you?
She looked up at him and smiled, with a confused look on her face.
Mukti: What happened to me?
Prem: mukti, what was the last thing you remember?
Mukti: You dropping the kids off at school this morning?
Prem thinking, "She forgot, the whole day?"
Prem: Alright.
Mukti: Prem, you look old?
Prem: what? I'm young as ever, I think the bump to your head did something.
Mukti: No, I'm serious, my hands look older….you look older…
Prem: okeay basanti, are you drunk?
Mukti laughed, and then spoke again: Where are the kids!?
Prem: well, Piya and Tina went home to Riya, but Jai is here.
Mukti: Where?
Prem: Jai come in!
Jai was standing by the door, so he sort of heard his dad, and stepped inside.
He walked up to his mom, all teary eyed, and hugged her, but mukti pushed him away…
Mukti: PREM! Who is this kid!
Prem & Jai: WHAT?
Mukti looked at them….and They looked at her….
Prem: It's Jai Basanti, what are you on?!
Mukti: Hello? Only 28 here, we don't have kids? Did you sleep with someone else or something, or didi we adopt?
Prem : DOCTOR!!!!! MY WIFE IS MAD!
Jai looked dumbfound, and JPrem just felt like in a stupied nightmare that was just getting pathetic, and should really end now.
Prem: it will all end prem, it will all end…..please end, please end…..
Soon the nurse came in with the doctor to examine Mukti. Mukti looked confused and just watched has he stuck a light around her face, and reading her chart while prem and this unkown and "supposedly" her son "Jai" looked on.
Doctor: Mr. Prem, your wife…
Prem:…is mad right?
Jai nudged his father
The Doctor tried not to laugh at prems very serious tone and said,
Doctor: No, no nothing like that she just has some amnesia.
Prem: SOME? She dosent remember having kids for Crists sake!
Jai: Dad were not Christians.
Prem: Sorry! I mean for Ganasha's sake!!!!
The Doctor just thought prem had lost it, and frankly Jai agreed.
Jai: umm how long will it last?
Doctor: honestly, even though physically she didn't hurt it too bad, but internally its bad, I honestally don't think those moments are going to come back to her, maybe names, but I think those memories are lost.
Prem: What? You mean she cant remember anything?!
Doctor: I think from the past 18 years, everything is gone.
Mukti: What the hell is this wacko talking about prem? What 18 years? Will someone please tell me whats going on?!
Her voice sounded anxious, as if she were really mad.
Prem: Jai you go outside I'll explain.
Jai walked around and around in circules, it had been two hours, and his dad was still in there with his mom talking. Finally prem came out with a relived look on his face…
Jai: what happpend dad?
Prem: she bought it. Lets just hope it stayes bought.
Jai: When can she come home?
Prem: Tommorow morning.
Jai: thank god, I'll tell the girls.
Prem: And tell them to get rid of every picture of Aryan.
Jai: why?
Prem: I didn't tell her about Aryan or Neha. She only knows she has one son and three daughters, that's it.
Jai: but, if she finds out you lied…
Prem: she wont, tell the girls about this. I'll explain to mom and the rest of the family. The only thing we should think about now is your mothers sanity, and by the looks of it there isn't much left.
Jai: okeay.
NEXT DAY:
Walking out of the hospital, with his beautiful wife by his side, Prem Prerna Sharma/Basu/Bajaj couldn't help but wondered where his life had started, and were it was heading. All he knew now was that this one lie, was fixing his families and his life. Finally. After all the drama and pain. Much needed clouser was coming his way.
Prem gently kissed muktis forehead and lead her to the vechical.
Mukit held her head and stood there for a moment and glanced at him.
Prem: whats wrong basanti? Are you okeay?
Mukti: yeah.
As they sat in the car driving to there home which was awaiting for them, mukti finally spoke…
Mukti: prem how many kids was it you said we have?
Prem: si….four.
Mukti: Jai is the oldest, then Piya- his twin, then Riya, and then Tina right?
Prem: yeah
Mukti: then who are Aryan & Neha?
Prem: what?
Mukti: that's what your necklace is engraved with isn't it?
Prem thought damn, damn so much for writing your kids names everywhere idiot- smart idea!!!!!
Prem: Middle names, remember you wanted to name Jai, Aryan but I won the coin toss.
Mukti: No but yeah sure, & what about Neha?
Prem: same thing but with Piya- but that time you won
Mukti smiled, and looked on, looking forward to reliving her life, with a clean slate.
