Hello friends , here goes the fourth part, am a bit busy today, so this part will be small too...but I will try and post another update by tonite!!
Part-IV
Bani dropped the bonb on her parents and stared at them expecting an answer.
ND:" Bani , you know that Uday Bhaiya & Krishna Bhabi are here to fix an alliance between you and their only son Jai."
Bani:" But papa you know that i am just 18 and am still in college, how can you expect me to marry now??"
Kiran: " Bani!!!"
Krishna: " Kiran, please let me talk to Bani."
Kiran: "Alright"
Krishna: " Bani beta, you know that Kiran and I have been best friends since childhood and we had planned your marriage with Jai long before you were born"
Bani:" Aunty , I respect your friendship and I know that you & uncle love me a lot.But I have to think about my career first.Marriage can wait"
Krishna: "Beta marriage can wait, but Jai's dadi cant, you see she is already 90 years old and now wants to see her grandson settled , before she leaves for her heavenly abode"
Bani(staring at Billo Dadi seated in front of her): " She looks quite fit to me...and I dont think she will die this soon" ( in her mind of course).........agar budhiya ko marna hai...to shauk se mare na...mere jaan ke peeche yeh log kyun pade hue hai????
Billo( Who is a bit hard of hearing):" Kya baatein ho rahi hai, tum log batein band karo, aur mujhe apni hone wali bahu ko dekhne do."
Bani rolls her eye on being addressed as "BAHU" by dadi. Kiran pushes Bani towards Dadi and reluctantly Bani goes and sits near her.
Billo:" Oye Kiran, tere ghar main bahut sare chuhe hain kya??"
Kiran( all flustered): " Ji Beeji?? Ji nahi ...lekin kyun??"
Billo : " Agar tere ghar main chuhe nahi hai, to meri Bahu ke kapde kisne katardiye???", adjusting her spectacles on her nose Billo Dadi gave Bani a hard stare.
Bani was getting angrier by the second, but suddenly Dadi announced,
Billo:" Bani, tu jaldi se mere ghar mere pote Jai ki biwi banke aja, phir main tere liye gite wala lehnga aur choli silwa dungi, yahan videsh main ake chuhon se katre hue kapde pehen ne pad rahe hai, hamare Chandigarh main aisa nahi hota"
Both Uday & Nishikant were finding this conversation very amusing much to the desperation of Bani, and they were already busy making plans for the future.
Dadi then produced a photograph of Jai out of no where and asked Bani,
Billo:" Dekh Bahu , yeh hai mera pota, Jai, haina sona munda, lakhon main ek hai mera punjab da puttar"
Bani was like whatever, how do I care!!!!! But Billo forced the snap in her hands to have a look. Just then Bani's handphone started ringing " I want to make love to you"( Song from Aitrazz)....embarassing ND & KD again..............
Bani quickly picked it up.It was Rano on the other end.
Rano:" Bani!! When are you coming to the mall, Rashi & I have been waiting for an hour, where the hell are you stuck??"
