He stood there next to the window, watching the party going on in his house. His eyes looking at only one person'..'.his life, his reason of existence, his love '..his Bani'only if he could have had the courage to tell her how much he loved her., what she meant to him'then it would have been him next to her celebrating his engagement with bani and not his brother.
Jai Walia, the biggest business tycoon in Mumbai, 30 years old, single and was never ready to mingle'his life was his business and reason to live was his family which was his sister Jigyasa and his brother Ranveer'..this was his world till Bani came into his life 4 years back.
Bani Dixit, the sweetest girl he had come across 24 then had just finished grad school and was looking for a managerial position with WGH. Just looking at her Jai knew this girl was different '.as time went by Bani become a part of Jai's life 'company meeting, project assignments, family duties'.she helped Jai with everything 'with years she gave a name to their little relationship '.. 'Jai, You r my best friend'. she told him and gave him a peck on his cheek'.that's the day Jai can never forget, that was the day he realized 2 yrs back, that Bani Dixit was not his best friend but was much more'he loved her.
Part 1
Roshani Copra. looked at where Jai Walia was standing and observed his eyes were only on Bani'she picked a drink from the bar and walked up to him and handed him the drink
'Thanks Roshani'..said jai and looked at her asked 'where is your drink?'
'Its you needs one jai not me''said Roshani and continued.. 'why dint you tell her jai'
'Tell who what roshani?''..'Don't be a fool jai, its all visible in your eyes'it always was. You love Bani'why dint you tell her?'
'You are mistaken Roshani'she is a very good friend'its Ranveer who loves her, who she will marry and always be happy with.'
'And what abt her Jai?...whom does she love?' Roshani asked him' and continued' 'whom are her eyes looking for?' Jai did not answer and both of them just looked in Bani's direction.
Bani looked beautiful in her pink Ghagra Choli and was smiling at everyone who greeted them. Her eyes were wondering everywhere as if looking for someone.
She still remembered the time when she first stared to work at WGH'Jai Walia 'The Devil' who he often was referred as was shouting at one of his assistance for some work that was not done correctly'.Bani was looking at this from a distance and was surprised. He was really nice and sweet with her the day of her interview and offered her the position immediately and even asked her to join as soon as possible and she agreed from the day after. She saw Mr. Walia (as she could call her boss) walk back to his office and then she walked towards it. People out there asked her to be careful as the 'The Devil' might eat her alive. She was a little scared when she knocked on the door and heard a harsh voice asking her to come in'..Jai thought it was his assistance and without looking in a strong angry voice said 'Have you completed it ?....It better be right this time or else you will have to say good buy to your job, nah jane kaha se aajate hai '''saying so he looked up and saw the angel face that immediately got a smile on his face'.'Bani tum? (suddenly he was nerves and stated to speak )'.Oh sorry, woh I thought it was someone else'.come please sit. Can I offer u something?...did u find ur office fine? Is there something else you would need?''.He went on rambling without giving Bani a chance to say a word'she looked at him and stated to laugh '. 'Mr. Walia I am fine'please relax'' She quintet her eyebrows and was surprise to see the sudden change in the man's personality'The Devil was as scared as a lamb'.Nor Bani or Jai knew the reason of this change. He sat down and stated to give a brief of what was Bani's job responsibilities and within a few minutes both of them were comfortable with each other and started to discuss different projects'.in a little while Jai's assistant reminded him about his meeting and Jai asked Bani to accompany him to it .They went to the conference room where all the managers were already waiting for him. He introduced Bani to her new colleagues . Bani took a seat and saw the Jai Walia taking over the meeting. He looked composed, firm and in charge'.A very authoritative persona. In no time Bani understood why was WGH what it was...only cause of this one man who knew what had to be done, how it will be done and who will do it. A natural respect for this man came to her which was second to nature. Very different than the man who was fumbling with words while talking to her a couple of hours back.
Back to the Engagement
Bani smiled with the thought of her first day at WGH. She was still looking out for Jai'Where was he? Why has he still not come and said hi? Ranveer introduced her to more guest and she smiled but still felt a void and the smile still dint reach her eye. With only one question in her mind'''..JAI where r u ??
