Chapter 9

Edward waves at them, "Remember me? I am sure you do remember." He walks in with big bags and asks for ice, "My hand is paining." Leah asks him if he saw the time. Edward says who looks at time to know each other, "Your brother and my wife were very close when their bodies were found together, remember? I thought to bridge the gap so the families are together too." He looks at Jake's photo. It has been kept so nicely, "This is what he wanted right?" Leah tells him to leave, "We don't want any drama." Edward says the guy looks nice though, "I wonder what I lack. I am a pilot and earn well. Tell me what he had and I dint have?" Leah asks him to leave before she calls police for trespassing. He asks her if she is serious, "Your brother was trespassing in my life and you say that to me? I dint do anything till now."

He breaks Jake's photo, "This is called trespassing." He breaks all the photos he can find of Jake. Sue calls someone asking the person to come asap. She tries to calm Edward but he says, "your son always liked other people's wives or my Tanya was special." Bella comes in and notices him there. "You?" Edward asks her where she was, "I brought everything you need. I will leave only after eating gajar ka halwa." She asks him how he can be so ill mannered. He shares that he found out lot many things once she left, "I was missing you there. You should have been there." Police walks in to arrest Edward. Edward asks Bella if she called police. Leah shakes her head at her mother. Edward believes Bella to be the culprit, "You cannot do well for anyone!" Police arrests him. Edward looks at Bella, "Till now, I pitied you; was angry with you but now I only hate you! Be careful as my hate is deeper than my love!" Police takes him away.

Bella looks at Leah and her mother, "Why did he say that I called police? I just came." Sue says, "I know it. I called them here." She shows Bella the broken photos, "Why did you bring that Edward Cullen to our house?" Bella tells her she dint bring him here. She calls her MIL but Sue warns her not to say so, "You are nothing to me. I curse the day when my son met you and chose you over us! You couldn't love him which is why he had to find a shoulder to cry outside." Leah asks her if she can realise what she is saying, "brother was at fault. If he dint have that affair then this wouldn't have happened." Bella tells them they are the one who are wrong to even think Jake can fall this low, "I can accept for a moment that I was wrong. I dint notice he had some relation with anyone. He used to stay here for 15 days every month. How come you dint doubt him ever? I agree that we dint share the bond that we should have but we are a family. World may say anything but we must not believe everything that they say. We divided Jake in parts for all of us when he was alive but let's not do it anymore. Now we can stay as one family for Jake's sake." Sue leaves from there. Leah acts nice again, "I completely agree with you. We couldn't be together when brother was around but we should do it now. It will give him peace." Bella nods. She returns Bella her mangalsutra, "I don't know what happened to me. I am really sorry SIL." Bella holds it close to her heart. Leah says, "I took time to understand you but you are really nice. Please forgive me for whatever I did." Bella thanks her overwhelmed with emotions and goes upstairs. Leah thinks Bella can do anything for Jake's sake.

Bella is in police station, "Why have you called me here?" Inspector asks her to sign against the statement. She does so, "Till when will Aditya stay in lockup?" Inspector questions her as to what she wants. It does not matter what we want though. His father would come any second to get him bailed. Edward and Bella look at each other. Carlisle looks at Bella too as he comes to the police station. Edward looks away. Jasper and Carlisle present the bail papers. Edward gets released immediately. Inspector (Sam) murmurs that kids of rich people can escape from any kind of case be it murder or anything. Carlisle tells him he can get him transferred to a place where no one will be able to find him. Edward seconds with Sam, "Nepotism will take the world down. Who asked you to bail me out?" He walks out followed by Carlisle and Jasper.

Carlisle scolds Edward if he ever thinks before saying anything, "You could have been in for too long with the way you behaved inside." Carlisle advises him to take control of his life before it gets too late. Edward replies that he is a fool like his mother, "You could fool her with your words but failed to do the same with me in the past like you are trying today. They were asking for a certificate from you?" Carlisle tells him to shut up but Edward questions him if what he or Tanya did is justified. Inspector was right about what he said. Carlisle tells Jasper to take Edward home before he sits in another bar. Jasper nods. Carlisle leaves for the court.

Edward sits in the driver seat but then recalls what he had imagined earlier. He hands over the keys to Jasper to drive.

Carmen notices him looking at some papers. She calls out to him but he does not respond. She asks Rosalie to check with her father. Rose is surprised that he dint step out of the room even once since he is back from Mumbai, "Did he tell you anything about Bella?" Her mother denies, "he does not even wish to hear her name."

Jasper tells Edward he could have cared for them at least, "That police Officer was asking questions as if you were some murderer." Edward keeps imagining Tanya sitting in the backseat smiling at him. He shouts angrily. Jasper tells him to stop it, "We know that only Tanya could handle you but she isn't here to do that anymore. Why don't you get a grip on yourself?" Edward remarks that she is both the wound and the solution. Jasper tells him he puts entire blame on Tanya always, "Why don't you begin to realise she wasn't happy with you?" Edward pulls the emergency brakes and steps out of the car. Jasper is sure there must be some reason why Tanya took such a big step.

Edward closes his room. Renee keeps asking him to share what is the matter but he does not respond. He cries, "I knew her since my childhood or I could never know her?" He recalls that she might not have shared everything with him but she has done it with her diary. He begins to look for her diary, "She took it with her! It contains the answers to all my questions. Police returned everything except the diary! How will I find my answers? He comes across some bills / papers."

Flashback:
Tanya asks Edward to give her 5 crores, "I need them." He asks her if she is running away. She tells him that one of her friends has set up a business, "You will get your returns if it is set up well. Think of it as a business deal." He asks her who that person is. We deal with friends. She goes quiet. He tells her he trusts her, "I know you will do what is right. Where is the cheque book?"

Present:
Edward smiles sarcastically at the memory, "I trusted you while you spent 5 crores on your boyfriend!"
