CHAPTER 93
It's been 6 days today. There is a lot of movement in Jagdish's body. But still, his tongue is slightly numb, and he feels difficulty talking, due to which he is unable to say anything. But he is smiling, seeing his daughter in front of him, and his eyes are telling many things to Mayil. She is feeding him soup and talks a lot to her father.
"Now you know that I have to talk to you a lot. Get well soon and answer all my questions. I can't even tell you right now how much I have to ask you?."
Mritunjay is leaning on the door frame, and anger is clearly visible on his face. He obeys Mayil's words and wants to know everything by curing her father. On the other hand, he cannot tolerate Mayil even around Jagdish because, even today, he feels that if Jagdish stays away from Mayil, then he will feel the agony that he has to be away from his family, and a small child hidden in his heart even today forces him to torture Jagdish. Because of the way Jagdish's eyes look at Mayil all the time, it is clear that Jagdish really loves Mayil very much.
He comes inside, and Jagdish looks at him. Mayil is quite nervous whenever he comes in front of Jagdish, because the problem here is that she doesn't know what Jagdish has seen or understood in his coma-like situation. Does he know that Mrityunjay is Mayil's husband, or is he here just to help her because he has not asked her anything related to all these things?
Mayil quickly gets the soup finished and leaves the room holding Mrityunjay's hand, as she knows some nurses will take care of her father. Standing outside, Sunaina is watching everything without coming in front of Jagdish. Mayil says to Mrityunjay:.
"Jay, can't you stay away?"
"No… "
He bluntly denies her quickly. He knows very well that Sunaina will try to convince him, so he immediately grabs Mayil's hand and takes her away. Sunaina lastly looked inside his room and left too.
Mritunjay uses his reach to talk to Austin in jail and make a plan to meet the man stationed in Jagdish's house, and soon he's about to get Austin out of jail too; that man comes any time soon there today. That's why both are waiting for him while sitting in the drawing room, and the situation is such that both are together but are not able to talk much because they want to say a lot but words are lost somewhere.
Mayil knows that Mrityunjay is not talking to her more, just because he does not want to say anything to her about Jagdish again, and Mayil cannot tolerate that. Then a man came inside with Mrityunjay's men.
"Sir, a man came outside; he said Austin sent him here."
"Okay, send him inside; you can go now."
Both Mrityunjay and Mayil were waiting for this man. They both stand up and welcome him. He shakes hands and spreads all the things and documents he brought along with himself on the table. He immediately takes a photo and forwards it towards Mayil, telling her.
"She is Geeta Kumar, wife of Arvind Kumar and mother of Shivam Kumar. She is working as a gardener at a Jagdish residence. This woman used to be very fat, but she transformed herself so well that her entire appearance changed, due to which no one has ever been able to recognize her. She has lived regularly around Jagdish Mansion for the last 3 years, and finally, as a gardener, she has started working here."
Mayil starts looking at the same photo very well. She is able to remember very well that she has seen this woman several times in her garden when she was in Jagdish's residence, and she has also found her staring at her several times. But due to a loss of memory, Mayil started talking very rarely. That's why she never went ahead and talked to this woman.
"She hates Jagdish Kaushik very much because she is very sure that her son has died, and the reason for Shivam's death is Jagdish Kaushik, and that is why her husband has also died in shock. This is the same woman who changed your medicines. Also, when you were about to go to the press conference, the water bottle was also changed, and because she worked there regularly, she did not come under anyone's target or surveillance. The only motive for her life is to ruin Jagdish's life."
Mrityunjay gets very angry upon hearing his words. He immediately asks the man.
"Why has Geeta Kumar tried to harm Mahi when Mayil has nothing to do with it?"
"No one in the world knows that Mayil ma'am is not Jagdish Kaushik's real daughter but Shivam Kumar's daughter, and Geeta Kumar doesn't even know this either, that she is her granddaughter... In her view, this girl is Jagdish Kaushik's daughter, whom Jagdish loves so much. If she will be in trouble, then Jagdish Kaushik will also be in trouble, like you used to believe."
Mrityunjay holds his head and sits silently because he knows that she has already gone through a lot of trouble because of him, and his hatred is now increasing even more for Jagdish because it is because of Jagdish that Mayil is in constant trouble. That man continued.
"You all feel that Jagdish Kaushik suddenly made Mayil ma'am CEO by transferring all his property in her name only, but those companies were also in debt. If you thought he wanted to run away from here, you have a big misunderstanding; there is nothing like that. He transferred his property in the name of Mayil because he always wanted to do this, and he was sure of himself that he would remove all this debt in any case. He wanted to make Mayil run away from here, which he was not allowed to reveal. He had hired a private plane on which he was going to get Mayil out of here. But before that, his heart attack changed everything. You trapped him very badly."
Mrityunjay is absolutely unable to believe that Jagdish, whom he hates so much, really loves Mayil very much. While he knew very well that Mayil was not his daughter at all, just then, a nurse came running there, and immediately she told Mahi.
"Mam patient is getting very upset and is calling you only."
Mayil was crying after hearing all these things about her father, and she was upset as she heard about Jagdish. She immediately runs from there towards his room. Mrityunjay also silently follows her.
"Papa…."
"Mahi…."
She suddenly becomes happy after hearing Jagdish's voice. She sits near his feet, holds both his hands, and tells him.
"Papa, are you okay?"
"Mahi… Why are you tense?... Why do you... marry him?"
There are a lot of things that Mayil has to tell her father, and she has to ask a lot of things. But where to start and from where to not? Maybe both of them don't understand. But she is very confident that she has to know everything, so she straightforwardly says.
"Papa, I know very well that I am not your biological daughter. My biological father's name is Shivam Kumar."
Jagdish immediately falls silent. He didn't expect anything like that from her at all. He tightly holds her hand and tells her.
"No need to do any bullshit... Neither I know any Shivam Kumar nor do you know... You are only my daughter, and you remember this very well."
"Of course, I want to be called your daughter all my life, but there are many things that are very important for me to know, and please promise me that you will tell me everything truthfully.
"Mahi, this is a lie."
"Please, papa….. I had met Maa before she died. I came to meet her a few days back after her death, and she told me everything—about Shivam Kumar and my birth."
Mrityunjay is standing outside and silently listening to everything. Sunaina is also standing there. In any case, they do not want to disturb the conversation between them because both of them also want to know a lot. Jagdish has nothing left to hide, so he lowers his eyes. But she holds his hands well and tells him.
"Papa…. Don't hide anything now because a lot of misunderstandings have been created. I am married, and I am very happy in my marriage, but in my marriage, misunderstandings are being created because I am hiding a lot of truth. The boy whom you have seen here has been my husband for the last 3 years. I'll tell you everything. First, you tell me everything about me and my biological father...."
From the time Mayil lost her memory, he knows that Mayil was married, so he is not at all surprised about this, but he is surprised that the boy she married is the boy who was following him like he wanted to ruin him completely because he knows very well that the boy is none other than Mrityunjay Sisodia, who was following him in a very bad way, and as he swore, that will ruin him. But he asks him
"Do you love him?"
"So much... He is my life, papa."
He smiles instantly. Mritunjay comes inside, and Jagdish looks at him. He can clearly see the hatred for himself in his eyes. Mayil turns and looks at Mrityunjay, who is only looking at Jagdish with hateful eyes. Mayil looks at Jagdish and says,.
"He is your ex-girlfriend Sunaina's nephew."
Jagdish's entire body starts reacting as soon as he hears Sunaina's name. He immediately holds her hand tightly and tells her.
"Sunaina's nephew…. But Sunaina's entire family was killed in the fire."
Jagdish's eyes are only on Mrityunjay. Now that he understands the reason for his hatred and the way he is looking at Mrityunjay, Mayil does not want to miss the chance at all. She has many questions, none of which she can find an answer to. But every time she can't stop herself, she asks a new question.
"Papa, did you do that heinous crime? Mrityunjay says that he saw you killing his entire family."
Jagdish bows his head and does not say anything. Mahi is sitting next to him. She holds his face with both hands, looks up into his eyes, and tells him.
"Papa, I am fighting with him every time he says that you are the murderer of his family, and I fight that you cannot do anything like this. He kidnapped me only to take revenge on you because he wanted to hurt you. After all, you killed his entire family."
"No, I didn't.... I didn't kill his family."
Mrityunjay cannot restrain himself, and he jerks off Mayil in front of him, grabs his collar, and tells him to lift him almost upwards from his chair.
"There is no use in lying, Jagdish Kaushik, because I saw you through my eyes... You brutally killed my entire family."
Jagdish Kaushik closes his eyes. He knows there is no use in hiding the truth. So he looks at Mayil first, looks at Mrityunjay, and tells him.
"I was not the one you saw... He was my father, Prakash Kaushik, who looked exactly like me."
The grip on Mrityunjay's hands starts to loosen a bit. He couldn't believe at all that there was anything that escaped his sight or that something like this truly happened.
Sunaina, standing outside, is trying to remember everything very well. She had never seen Jagdish's father. But Jagdish always used to tell her that whenever you see my father, she will not be able to differentiate between us—who is Jagdish and who is Prakash?
Holding her head, she suddenly falls near the door. Hearing the sound of her fall, Mrityunjay immediately leaves Jagdish and runs outside. Jagdish looks at the fallen figure in front.
"Sunaina….”
