Burning in revenge 2

Why is it bothering you?

Ram's POV 

I followed Jenny to our room with heavy heart. I didn't lie to dad before but today I lied

"Why did you lie? You could have get ridden of me easily" Jenny  asked

"Why did you risk your exposure to save a little girl you don't even know?" I asked

"How can I let an innocent baby die for my selfishness?" She said as a matter of fact. She is kind, selfless

"I lied for the same reason" i said

"You desperately wanted to show my true colors and threw me out, it was best opportunity..."

"Yes but I didn't want you to get punished when you saved a life. I couldn't do, I felt so wrong..."

She looked at me emotionally and thanked me

"If you really want to thank me, can you answer my questions honestly" I asked.  She was silent

" You don't have to answer if you don't want to but no lies" I said. She nodded

"Is your name really Jenny" I asked

She smiled

"Yes, everyone calls me Jenny except my parents. They call me Sweeha, short form of sweetheart" she said? Somehow that didn't settle my doubts

"I'm your wife Ram, that's my real name" she said. "I never lied about my name or my parent's" she added

"Do you know me before marrying" I asked

"I never saw you in person, saw your picture on the day I met you" she said

"I'm sure you don't love me, why did you stop my marriage?" I asked. She was silent

"Did any of our rivals send you to destroy my family?" I asked

"No, I would never harm anyone. I know it's hard for you to believe me but I love our family, I mean your family. My parents love me but they never had time for me. I was in hostel since I was 10 years. I experienced the love I have been craving my whole life here. They are very good people" she said sincerely. I know that but today I want to talk to her, know about her

"Do you hate me?" I asked. She was silent. She said that on my face several times, why is she silent now?

"It's very simple question... you told me that you hate me so many times, did you change your opinion?" I asked

"When I came here I was angry with you, loathed you...disgusted..." she was silent then, looking at her feet

Why does she hate me so much?

"you have such a good family, why are you like this? How could you play with girls?" She said

"What do you mean? I would never do that" i said. Why does she think like this? Why does her bad opinion on me bothering

"I would have thought the same if I didn't have proofs. I really wish what I know is wrong. But..."

"I don't know what proofs you have but it's not true Jenny. I never even dated anyone. I hardly have friends who are girls and they all are married" i said

" I answered everything honestly but you are lying to me. Why Ram? You know the thought of you as a playboy hurts me so much, it pricks me, suffocates me... I don't know why it bothers me so much. You are no one to me, we don't have any relation..." she sat down crying. I couldn't see her so broken.

 She has wrong opinion on me, hates me but why is she crying? How does it matter to her?

"Look at me Jenny! Do you feel I can hurt anyone" I asked. She stared at me, then looked away

"I want to trust you. You have no idea how much I wish everything I knew about you is wrong. I know the truth" she said looking into my eyes emotionally 

"I don't want to know what proofs you have but try to find if they are really true. Trust me, I never deceived anyone. Find it yourself. Who would trust Ram more than Janaki " I said

"You found my name? How?" She asked smiling

Past

I was in living room, looking into our new venture. Nivi came running crying...Jenny took her into her arms...

"It's ok, my Nivi is a brave super girl..." 

"Everyone is making fun of my name Nivi , Divi... old name..." Nivi said in tears

"They don't know how special is your name, not everyone can have special name like yours... do you know how special is your name? Your first 2 letters are from your mom's name Ni (Nisha) and last 2 letters are from your dad Vi (Vishnu). Ask your friends if their name is special like yours.

Do you know Nivi, even my name is special like yours, My name is derived from my parents names...

Never let someone's words affect you... this world is full of selfish people, they get happiness by hurting others. If you get into their words, you will get hurt. You know yourself better than anyone...  let's get you fresh up and guess what? I have your favorite pineapple pudding cooked" Jenny said taking Nivi who was so excited about pineapple pudding and totally forgot about school incident 

Jenny's words stuck in my mind... she said that her name derived from her parents... her parents names are Janardhan Rao and Vasuki... she said her parents names are real... what is the truth? Her name or parents?

Present 

"I had doubt when you said letters in your name are from your parents. I thought you lied about your name and your parents. Today when you said you didn't lie and told you are my wife, I figured it out" I said (Janaki is name of wife of Lord Rama... Jana (from Janardhan Rao) + Ki (from Vasuki)

"You said that you would show my true face to everyone but first find out my true face... your heart knows me well..." I tried to tell

"No, I already know your truth..." she interrupted 

"Really Jenny? Then why do you always cry whenever you accuse me or say that you hate me..." I asked. She was silent 

"That's because, your heart knows the truth and your mind is conflicting that... you told Nivi that this world is full of selfish people who finds happiness in hurting others. You didn't know anything about me, just believed that someone who could be the selfish person you described... you are a smart person Jenny, I know you can find the truth..." I said. She looked at me thoughtfully. I laid down on my side of bed. Jenny was still standing, rooted in her place 

"Ram, are you really a good person, I mean... you didn't play with anyone's feelings!" She asked after long silence 

"I told you several times before, does it make any difference now?" I asked

Jenny was silent...

"It's already early in the morning, go to bed Jenny... you are tired..." I wished her good night. She laid on her side of bed
