Chapter 50
Jiya had named her daughter Jivika by combining her name with Vikrant. Her eyes were just like Jiya's, and the rest of the features were like Vikrant. The baby was two months old. Jivika kept them busy the whole day. She stayed awake all night and slept all day.
While raising her daughter, she realized how difficult it was to raise a child. By God's grace, mom is with her; otherwise, it would have become difficult to raise her daughter alone. Aman also comes in between to take care, but she still gets so tired of taking care of Jeevika.
She was thinking in her heart, "I don't know how my mother has taken care of me alone. I have always pointed the finger at my mother's upbringing, always making her feel that she was not a good mother, but today I have realized that my mother was the best mother in the world."
Anu didn't know how to prove Jiya's innocence in front of her dad. The evidence on the CD cannot be falsified. It was not clear what the role of Abha Aunt was in this scandal involving Jiya and Rahul because, according to the CD, whatever happened between the two seems to have happened with mutual consent.
It was a very complicated case. Jiya was pleading innocence despite being guilty, and Abha was looking innocent despite being guilty.Anu found her friend Neha's number and called her.
"Hello Neha, I am Anu Kapoor, daughter of Vikrant Kapoor. I need your help."
"Tell me, how can I help you?"
"Where's Jiya?"
"I don't know Anu. Why don't you ask your father to find out? I don't think it's difficult for him to find her."
"Please help me. I want them to be together."
"What you want, your father doesn't want, so do not try in vain. I really don't know anything about Jiya. I myself came to know from media reports that the two are living separately."
There was no use in talking to Neha. The search was over before it began. She wanted to talk to Vikrant about it, but he angrily refused. Then Mayank gave a suggestion.
"Why don't you talk to Daddy's secretary, Rajesh uncle, about this? He does all his work. He can find the phone numbers of Jiya Mom and her mother."
"The idea is good, Mayank, but if dad finds out, he will get angry."
"We will think about it later. Let's see if he can help us or not."
The next day, Mayank and Anu reached Vikrant's office on the pretext of lunch.He was surprised to see them.
"Why are you both here?"
"Daddy, we're here for lunch with you today."
"Anu You should have called me before coming here; now I have to leave for my meeting in ten minutes. Lunch is with them."
"No problem, Daddy; we have just arrived, so we will order something here, eat, and then go back home."
"All right, as you wish."
As soon as Vikrant left, they went to Rajesh's cabin.
"Hello uncle."
"Hello children, How are you? It's good to see you after a long time."
"There is so much pressure from studies nowadays that I don't have time for anything else."
Anu started laughing upon hearing Mayank's reply.
"Uncle, he is lying. The whole day he plays games in the room."
"Sister, please stop telling lies."
He laughed when he saw Mayank and Anu fighting."I thought you were grown up, but you both were still children. Stop fighting and sit down. What will you eat?"
The two had ordered a Subway burger for themselves. In the conversation, Anu stirred up the topic of Jiya.
"Daddy was so happy with Jiya. I don't know how they got separated."
"You are right, Anu. I am also shocked."
"Uncle, can you help us find Jiya?"
Seeing Rajesh silent, Mayank started pleading with him.
"All right, I'll give it a try. But your dad should not know this; otherwise, my job will be in danger."
"Okay, uncle, this thing will remain between the three of us." Both were happy that they would soon find out Jiya's whereabouts.
Vikrant reached home late in the evening. He was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed when Abha came to ask about food.
"Can I get you something to eat?"
"No, I had already had my dinner in the hotel with clients."
"It's okay If you don't want to eat, at least drink milk."
"Abha, my head hurts. I want to relax."
"Would you like me to massage your head?"
"No, let it be. Are the children asleep?"
"Yes."
"Okay, go back to your room and rest. Thank you for taking care of my house."
"What is there to be thankful for? This house and the people who live in it belong to me."
She went to her room. She was angry with Vikrant. She was giving signals one after another, but he was not ready to move forward. She wanted to tell Vikrant her feelings for him, but he was not showing any interest.
Her only mistake was that she thought one day Vikrant would himself understand her feelings, but that day never came, and in the meantime, Jiya made a sudden entry into his life. She assumed that Vikrant would never get married, and one day he himself would ask her for marriage. But it never happened.
Vikrant hated Jiya, but it is equally true that there has never been a night when he has not missed her. Many times he thought about Mayank's words, Daddy, you did the wrong thing by slapping Jiya Mom.
The fingerprints on Jiya's face and the blood dripping from her nose and lips made him feel guilty in his own eyes. Her last touch on his lips used to make him restless at night. The day he saw her for the first time, he understood that no one would be able to take her place in his life.
It was a very strange situation. He couldn't forget her, and he didn't want to see her face again. The memory of Jiya used to refresh his wounds again.
No one knows where Rahul was. He was dead for Vikrant's family. They never tried to find him, and he never tried to get in touch with them.
Jiya never wanted to sleep with Rahul, but she slept because of sex drugs. She kept on refusing till the last moment, but after Rahul's forceful approach, she could not stop herself or him.
Rahul's lust and Abha's conspiracy had destroyed Jiya's house. Everything was so shattered now that it was impossible to put it back in the same place.
