Chapter 4

Edward asks her if she has gone mad. He pulls his hand away. She holds his hand again in panic. Edward looked upset.

Carlisle asks Esme if Edward will come. She nods, "he promised. There are still some people in world like Edward who mean what they say." Emmet shares that Edward's phone is not reachable, "I am sure he has boarded the flight." Many people have gathered in Cullen House to bid farewell to Tanya.

Edward requests air hostess to change his seat. I cannot travel with her. She politely refuses as the flight is full. He refuses to sit next to Bella, "I can sit with cabin crew but not her." There is turbulence and he falls in Bella's lap. She asks him if he isn't ashamed. He sarcastically replies that he was going to settle down here itself. Air hostess asks him to sit on his seat. He complies. She points out that he is very rude. He instead asks her if she isn't too polite, "Do you realise what our partners were doing? After all this, you are cursing me first of all. I am sure you can do it again. Try once." She tells him she is going to Mumbai for Jake's sake, "You too are going for your wife. Can we please for some time…?" He adds that, "we should celebrate we are free from both the cheaters. Tanya would have said it is a sign from the universe. First our spouses were found together and then we met on the same flight. I even fell in your lap! I think we should have an affair!" Bella looks at him in shock. Edward says we should show them we are not behind them. She calls him impossible and looks out of the window. He tells her he is also not interested in her. He calls Air Hostess to make Bella understand she shouldn't touch him. Bella apologizes to both of them. They both look in the opposite directions.

(Cullen House)

Everyone pays their respect to Tanya. Edward enters just then wearing a red jacket and goggles. His parents look at him. People offer their condolences to Edward, "We know what you must be going through." Edward only smiles sarcastically, "You don't even know what I am going through." They ask him to say a final bye to his Tanya. Edward walks up to her dead body and thinks of his last convo with Tanya, seeing Tanya and Jake dead while they were holding hands! He gets up abruptly, "It is so strange. A cheater is being bid fare well as a bride!" He walks away from there with incense sticks. He lights them in the corridor and makes a false smoke alarm. He shouts at everyone to run outside or they will be burnt. He uses fire extinguisher to blow out all the candles lit before Pooja's photo. A guy tells Carlisle that it was a false alarm. Edward says it was lit long ago, "It was only the smoke that you saw just now. You guys don't have to come back inside. This fire will burn everyone and everything. There is only smoke left now which only hurts the eyes!" He asks everyone to run away. Carlisle fails in stopping him. Edward asks people if they knew Tanya. "I thought I knew her but no one did!" Jasper and Emmet tries to calm Edward. Edward says, "They are so well decked up. They have come for entertainment. I will do it." Jasper and Emmet takes him inside. Everyone turns to go but Carlisle apologizes on Edward's behalf, "He is badly hurt as Tanya was his childhood friend. He is in a state of shock. I request you all not to leave before the rituals are complete." Everyone takes a seat.

Esme remarks that, I should have known that he can handle such situations very nicely too." Carlisle asks her, "do you too needs to create a drama now .ask Jasper and Emmet to get Edward ready. It is time for the final rituals."

People have come to offer their respects to Jake in his Mumbai house. People gossip about Bella. Bella comes just then. She reminisces the old moments spent with Jake. She breaks down. Sue and Leah see Bella. Bella is about to hold Jake but Leah holds her hands, "Don't you dare touch him!" She pulls Bella outside, "I warned you not to come here. You want to create a drama before everyone? Please leave!" Minister announces that it is time to go to cemetery. Sue says, "I got to know that this girl will snatch my son from me one day. She loves mountains very much. They killed my son today!" Bella requests them to let her stay with Jake in his final moments, "Please don't separate me from him." Leah says, "The one who died in Missouri was your husband. This guy here is my brother. You have nothing to do with him." Bella begs her to let her stay with Jake for some more time, "I am his wife." Mahi says, "no one knows you. Everyone is talking about you in front of you as they don't know you are Jake's wife. Stop this dram as you aren't his wife!" Leah pulls Bella manga sutra, why would you need it now?" Bella asks her to return it but their attention is diverted to people taking Jake's dead body outside. Leah blocks Bella's way and leaves with everyone else.

Rosalie is unable to get in touch with Bella. Carmen says, "She has gone there for the first time. She hasn't spoken to anyone in a high tone. Everyone there must be eating her." Eleazar says, "She has gotten used to making her own decisions now. This was what I was trying to save her from. She will have to follow the path that fate has chosen for her." Carmen tells Eleazar not to taunt her, "I know you are as concerned for her as I am." Driver tells Eleazar that his car has been fixed. Eleazar pays him. He later lies to Carmen that there was a dent in the car. He does not tell her how it came.

Carlisle is waiting for Edward. Jake's dead body is brought to the same cemetery. Jasper, Emmet and Edward come just then. Edward is drunk. He notices Jake's dead body next to Tanya's and says, "This is destiny. They dint get another cemetery in the city. They are together in the same cemetery!" Jasper advises him not to drink here at least, "You will lose your senses." Edward replies that he just gained his senses.

Carlisle stops Edward, "Could you not control your madness for a little more time?" Edward laughs sarcastically. Edward reaches the cemetery in an auto (vehicle). Leah does not even let her enter inside. Bella cries watching them from a distance. Aditya starts the rituals. Another Minister is following the same rituals for Jake. Edwards thinks of his past happy moments with Tanya. Minister asks him to hold the lit stick. Everyone asks Edwards to take it. Bella cries her heart out as she stands outside. She too thinks of Jake and the times they had spent together. Edward throws the stick away angrily and simply walks out of there. He starts drinking as soon as he steps out of the cemetery. Both the pyres are lit finally.

Edward finds Bella crying in a corner, "You here?" She looks at him. He asks her if she is crying, "Why don't you go inside and cry? It will be fun then. You wouldn't have been allowed inside. You missed it. You should have seen my wife and your husband leaving for heaven together." Bella requests him to stop, "What is your problem? Why do you say such things to me again and again?" He asks her if she felt bad, "Your husband was a poor guy. It must be Tanya who was at fault. He got stuck right? Why does your poor husband's family not like you? He would have married you after seeing your beauty. He would have later realised you don't have brains. He would have later found out that you are not that hot and had to look out for options right? Defend yourself. Are you against violence? Don't you have any self-respect? Who are you waiting for? The one who cheated you? Ashes? Do you think you will get the ashes of the one you weren't allowed to even meet? Respect yourself. There is still time. Save yourself and leave. No one wants you here. Everything is finished here. No one present here wants you around," He offers her liquor. "This also helps." She cries.

Sue is angry seeing Bella still there. Leach comforts her. Edward greets them, "You don't know me but my wife certainly knew your son. He was with her when they both died." Leah questions Bella as to what this drama is. Aditya says, "I came to share your pain. Let's celebrate." Leah leaves with her mother. Edward asks his family who lit the pyre. Esme says, "Your father did it." Edward smiles, "A cheater bid goodbye to another cheater. There won't be any immigration problem anymore! They too leave from there."

(Back in the Cullen mansion)

Carlisle asks Edward, "What's wrong with you. Why did you have to do so much drama? Couldn't you forget your ego for 2 minutes and complete the ritual? Till when will you behave like a kid? When will you grow up?" Edward remembers that Tanya had said the same thing to him before leaving. He gets up. "I will just do it and come." Carlisle asks him to stop but Edward comes back with Tanya's clothes and stuff. He pours liquor over it calling it ghee. He lights a match and throws it over it. Renee watches them thus. Edward walks around the fire holding his flask. His eyes well up as he falls on his knees.

Bella too looks at Jake's pyre teary eyed. It begins to rain.
