Chapter 6

Eleazar stops Bella, "Is this your last decision? You would want to stay in a strange city away from your family?" Bella replies that she cannot run from her responsibility, "Everyone here is blaming me that Jake's company is in this condition because of me! If it's true then it is my responsibility to take his company to new heights." Eleazar reminds her she hasn't worked anywhere till date and she is thinking of managing Jake's business now. She tells him she wants to try, "I know I have no experience. I maybe don't even know how to manage a business but I want to try for Jake's sake." Eleazar tells her she is committing the same mistake, "You are again choosing Jake over your father even when he chose someone else." She says nothing has been proven till now, "I know my Jake. He could not do anything like that." Eleazar says when the world says one thing and your heart tells you something else then you must trust the world, "You can stay here if you want but you must face the truth one day. You will be all alone that day." She keeps his hand over her head, "I needed your blessing when I decided to marry. I need your blessing today too in this decision." He prays that she is able to realise what she is getting into.

Carlisle tells someone to look carefully, "It has to be there if it isn't here." His wife offers him tea, "Who were you talking to?" Carlisle takes Kapoor's name but his wife knows he is lying. She tells him only he can answer why he is lying today and why he lied yesterday, "The only difference is that I can figure it out these days." He asks her why she dint catch her beloved DIL's lie then, You dint find out anything! You keep your focus on me. If you had focused a bit on the house too then this wouldn't have happened." She reminds him that Renee is Tanya's mom, "How could I know it when Renee dint even know about her own daughter? There is no sound when heart breaks. I know how difficult it is when that happens. Tanya broke Edward's heart. He had already lost faith in relations because of and now this! I cannot forgive Tanya ever." He advises her to give time some time but she denies, " I cannot hug him or speak to him. I am such a helpless mother. I don't know when he is home and when he is not! I don't even know if he is coming home or not!" They notice Renee there and go quiet.

Edward is stetting on the side of a highway. He recalls his conversation with Bella at the airport as he drinks from his flask. He gets a call but does not pick it.

Bella tries to guide the driver on the basis of GPS location but fails. She asks a passer by about the location. She notices a guy in hoodie sitting in a corner and runs to save him thinking he is going to commit suicide. Edwards looks at her in disbelief, "Are you Mother Teresa to save me? You cannot see what your husband did but you keep coming in my way to remind me how your husband and my wife messed our lives!" She apologizes to him. he asks her why she dint save her husband from ruining his life instead, "Why dint you stop him from having an affair with my wife? Why dint you stop him from sitting in that car? Forget about me, why dint you save yourself? Why do you keep coming before me? This is the last time we are meeting. I don't want to meet you ever again!" He begins to cross the road but Bella notices the vehicle coming from the other end and pulls him to safety. Bella lets go of him, "Maybe I have come to save you only! I don't know why I have come here. There is something for sure though or Allah wouldn't have sent me here to save your life! We may want it or not, we may accept it or not but our destinies are joined. Maybe this is why we keep meeting again and again!" She leaves in her taxi. Edward thinks of their meetings. He goes in opposite direction.

Carlisle apologizes to Renee, "I dint know you were there." Renee apologizes to her instead, "You were right. Who could have done something when I couldn't stop my daughter?" Esme stops her from going anywhere. Renee requests her to let her go but Esme refuses, "My son is in this condition today because of Tanya. Only you can stop him. I couldn't do anything yesterday but you could and you still can. Right now, I am just a selfish mother who cannot see her son in pain. I am jealous of you. My own son loves you more than me. he shares everything, even his pain or happiness, with me. He never got out of whatever happened between carlisle and me! Then you and tanya came in his life. He finds his lost peace in you both somewhere. When he was insisting that you come here and stay with us, I saw the happiness in his eyes that I was yearning to see. I dint let either of you realise what I am going through. Now it is your turn. You must stay here and handle everything including edward like I did. You will have to bear the burden of tanya's mistakes like I am bearing the burden of my husband's mistakes till date!"

Bella rings the doorbell of Arora House when guard greets her. "Sue and Leah aren't home. Did they not tell you anything?" He asks her if they gave her a key. She shakes her head. He opens the lock with the extra key that he has.

Carlisle meets someone (a lawyer) at night. He gives him an envelope. The guy agrees to do his work.

Bella comes inside the house and cries looking at Jake's photo. She thinks of their past moments. She comes in Jake's room. Her father's words echo in her head. I told you dad that this is a trap against Jake. I did not find anything against him till now! She collides with a laundry bin. Jake's shirt falls down and it has a lipstick mark. She thinks of what Edward had said to her earlier.

Flashback shows Bella gifting a white shirt to Bella. He tells her he already has 20 white shirts. She jokes that it is easier to find lipstick marks on a white shirt. He asks her if she is spying on him this way. She denies. I trust you more than I trust myself. She kisses on the collar. I will always be with you this way. You are just mine.

Bella apologizes to Jake. Even if it was for a second, I doubted you! I am sorry!

Leah comes home and finds the lights on. She tells her mom she will call her back. She calls out if there is someone. Bella keeps Jake's photo and a few items in her bag before Leah comes. Leah does not find anyone in the room. The window shakes because of wind. Leah looks out but does not see anyone. She closes it and goes. Bella is standing in a corner.

Jasper says the phone is switched off. It was at least ringing earlier. Edward enters whistling. Emmet asks him how his day was. Edward whistles again. Jasper asks him about his phone. Edward asks him if both of them are his younger brothers or elder brothers, "I was in a flight so it was bound to be switched off." Emmet asks him about his flight. Edward starts lying but then knows that they know everything already, "Why are you asking? Did my boss mail you my failure certificate? Laminate it and hang it on the wall." Jasper says, "I told you not to fly today. Tanya has just left us. Why don't you take a break?" Edward tells him he cannot fly for the next 6 months after what happened today, "Will this be enough to throw your SIL out of my mind and heart?" Emmet says, "I know you might not be able to forget her for a few months or years but you should try. You must accept that whatever happened wasn't right." Edward gets miffed, "You guys want me to cry before you so you can show pity on me?" Jasper denies but Edward is in no mood to listen, "You all want to mock me that I am good for nothing. I am a failure as a husband! Tanya made a drama of me and you are clapping here! You wont find any drama here as I have nothing in my heart for Tanya anymore! She is nothing to me!" He looks up and notices Renee. Edward leaves. Carlisle tells Jasper to leave Edward alone. Emmet advises him to talk to him next time then and call him too, "I cannot see it anymore as you know I cannot see him like this."

Bella is on the roads. Edward is driving fast thinking about Tanya, her words and her accident. he imagines Tanya telling him to drive slowly. He looks at the passenger seat in shock / confusion. This isn't a plane. Edward imagines Jake reassuring Tanya that nothing will happen to her, "I am with you, don't worry." Edward accelerates the car all the more thinking about the same. Bella is right in front of the car. She is suddenly blinded by the light and looks at the approaching car in shock.
