Chapter 13
Edward coughs. He speaks to the cab driver.
Bella cannot find anyone, "My phone and purse is with Leah. I don't even remember her number. Where will I find her? It is so dark." She does not realise that she is in a red light area. She asks a passerby how long will it take for her to walk to Bandra. He tells her that it will take 5-6 hours. Bella thinks to board a taxi. A lady tells her to leave, "This is our area." Bella replies that she lost her way.
Some guys are in the car. It is the birthday of one of them. They spot Bella and decide to get her for their friend. They ask Bella to sit in the car. She thanks them for offering her lift, "I don't know you though." They wonder what she is saying. It might be role play. Second guy offers to take her to Bandra. Another lady tells Bella to leave from her area. The guys ask her to come along. Bella happily pulls her but she refuses. Another lady sits in the car. Bella also sits down when Aditya comes out of his car. The guys ask him who he is. Edward walks up to Bella, "You stole my money and sent me to police station and are hiding here?" Bella is confused as to what he is saying. Edward tells the guys she is acting smart. She might have told you guys she is new here. They nod. Edward scare them of police, "She will trap you." The guys ask Bella to get down and drive away. She shouts at them as they walk away and later tells Edward that they were being nice to her, "They were about to drop me home!" Edward asks her if she really thought so, "You would have won if there was a competition of stupidity. I was honking since so long but you said it is ok to have some company." She reasons that it is better if a few girls will go together. He pulls her towards himself and tells her pointedly that those guys thought her to be a pr*statute, "Look around carefully. This is a red light area." Bella suddenly sees thing in different light and is shocked. Edward asks her if she is indeed duffer or she does all that to irritate her, "How can someone be so duffer and naive?" She cries that she really dint know. He says this is the problem, "You have no idea about anything." He sits in his car and leaves the door open for her. Sensing someone coming towards her, Bella sits in the car hurriedly.
Bella says, "I heard your honk but I dint focus as I was in a rush to reach home. We have so many issues yet you saved my life today. Thank you! I don't know what would have happened otherwise." Radio plays Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar (Song). Both Edward and Bella are drawn to their partners' memories. Edward asks the driver to change the song but he only increases the volume. He ends up scolding the driver. Bella requests him to let him play this song, "You can lower the volume though. This is Jake's favourite song!" Aditya mumbles foolish. She asks him if he called foolish. He agrees, "It is because you are foolish. You think I did a favour on you by saving you? I saved you as you are my prey. Only I have a right on your destruction!" He asks driver to stop the car and gets down. He pays him as well so as to drop Bella home. Bella looks back at him in shock. Edward looks shaken and kneels down. Bella is crying in the car. Edward too is crying, "Amazing Tanya! This song is also not just our song anymore? You divided everything including our song?"
Sue is looking out of the window. Leah asks her to sit with her. Sue asks her if she is mad, "This is a new city. Don't know where Bella will be without money or phone." Leah is surprised to see her worried for Bella. Sue says, "she is my responsibility. I will be worried till she is here." Leah is sure Bella is smart enough to trap someone smartly and will reach home. Doorbell rings. Leah remarks that her concern is here.
A tea vendor gives tea to all the policemen. Carlisle's lawyer finds the evidence room. He calls Carlisle and assures him that he will find that diary by tonight itself, "I will hand it over to you then."
Edward enters holding a bottle in his hand and is humming the tune of that song. Carlisle walks up to him. Edward tells him he hates that song. Carlisle shouts for his wife, "Look at your son's condition. He cannot even stand up!" Carlisle points out to Edward that people die daily by drinking local liquor. Carmen asks him what he is doing. Edward says, "this is called ideal wife. Young son does not question / retort at all. I am the only misfit in this family." Esme tells him against it. Renee looks on from above, "If I wasn't quiet that day then this might not have happened. Sometimes silence breaks the family!"
Bella drops the glass and cries, "I don't understand anything." Leah calms her down, "I was so scared for you. Thank God you are safe." Bella drinks water. She looks at Sue. Leah lies that they were just about to call police, "You could have called once atleast." Bella replies that she took her phone to check the route, "My phone was also with you." Leah says you were crying so badly while eating strawberries, "I gave your phone to Angela. The rest happened too soon to understand. Do you doubt me? Do you think I did it intentionally?" Bella declines, "you are my only support her. I am sorry if you felt that way. I cannot even think of it." She hugs Leah and cries. Leah tells her to leave it, "Have rest. It is a very big day for you tomorrow. You have to handle entire event by yourself." She hugs her. You will do this event so badly that people will remember it for years! Such worse mehendi function has never happened before and it wont happen in future ever!
Carlisle lawyer comes in the evidence room stealthily but does not find Tanya's diary in the evidence locker, "Did someone come here before me?" Outside, Jasper removes the cap and fake moustache. He takes out Tanya's diary. Flashback shows him being the tea vendor bringing tea for everyone earlier in the day. He smiles holding the diary.
Edward is not able to sleep. He thinks of his past moments with Tanya sadly, "This alcohol isn't showing any effect. Why am I not able to sleep?" He feels hungry and heads to the kitchen. He takes out an egg and remembers cooking in the past. Tanya asks him if his omelette is ready. He corrects her that it isn't ordinary omelette. She tells him that it will remain an omelette. She speaks of the egg which breaks if you mishandle. He advises her to think that sometimes things break to become better just like this omelette. Edward thinks Tanya broke their relation badly. He throws it away.
On the other hand, Bella also gets hurt on her hand as she holds the photo frame. She keeps Jake's stuff in a carton. She gets her mother's call. She asks Bella if she overheard what her father was saying. Bella finds his anger justified, "I broke his trust after all." She advises Bella to return home, "It is enough. His anger will disappear when he will see you and hug you." Bella asks her if she thinks she does not miss him, "I know that he misses me a lot too but maybe I don't deserve his love." Her mother tells her otherwise, "You deserve happiness of the world." Bella notices something and ends the call. She picks a photo of Jake with few other men. She thinks these people might know about Jake and Tanya, "They can help me in proving him innocent. How to contact them though?"
