"Jackson...wait...Jackson"
Jewel tried to stop Jackson from running away.While,
Viviaan stopped Lizzy from going after them.
Jackson ran as if he was being chased........Chased by his own guilt and regret.
Though Rohan did something Jackson could not forgive,they used to be friends.
"Incinerator' was built upon Rohan's hard work too.
Jackson was very well aware of the fact that Rohan had been struggling.
He had even became a father!
The fear of not being able to provide for his newborn baby must have consumed him totally.
Yet,Jackson took his opportunity to give Rohan a payback.
Or rather he maintained indifference.
Now Rohan maynot survive another day.
As she chased him, Jewel could sense his agony.
He climbed the stairs and once he reached his room, he didn't have anywhere to run. That made him pace around.
Jewel found him mumble
"I should have helped him...Its my fault"
"Jackson?"
"I... I should...Its my fault..."
"JACKSON!"
She called him out loudly.
Jackson stopped his steps and looked at his wife with tears in his eyes.
She couldn't think of anything but hug him tight.
Her arm span was not enough to wrap him completely.She buried her face in his chest.
His heart was thundering and he struggled to breath as well.
Jewel tightened her grip.
"Shhh......Its okay! Its not your fault!"
Her voice was calm yet firm.
Jackson took a couple of minutes to find his composure.
Jewel didn't let him go away from herself.
Her warm embrace calmed his heart.
Jackson left out a deep breath and hugged her back.
"Its not your fault,Jackson.Don't you dare blame yourself.Lets go and meet him."
Her words commanded him.
***************
"I can't..... I...."
Jackson tightened his grip on Jewel's hand and hesitated.
They were at the hospital. While they climbed the stairs to ICU, they had seen Rolex who was taking care of the hospital bills.
Once they reached the ICU, Jackson could see Rohan's wife sit outside with her newborn baby in her hand, but he couldn't bring himself to face her.
Rohan had gone against his family's wishes to marry her. The aftermath was disownment by their parents.
So there she was....alone!
Jewel sighed and said
"Ahh... I will walk in the front,you walk behind me"
She released her arm,grabbed his wrist and walked ahead and he got dragged by her.
" Mrs.Rohan?"
Her name was Laila.
She lifted her tear-ridden face and looked at the calm voice that called her name.
A glowing young woman-That was how Jewel looked in her eyes.
