On the banks of Thames, London.................
She was sitting on one of the benches and pondering over the happenings of the day, Jai's parents might have left for India by now.
And she was to go back to America tomorrow.
Her parents were overjoyedd and had started preparing for her wedding, much to her chargrin....Bani's brains were on fire....she was busy plotting her escape out of this marriage jail.
Just then Tarun, her childhood friend and unwanted romeo appeared out of no where.
Tarun:" Hey Bani, my darling, where were you,I kept looking for you since I landed in London, par tum ho ki..."
Bani:" Oh Shut Up , Tarun, tum yahan?? tumhari himmat kaise hui mera peecha karne ki??"
Tarun:" Bani, baby gussa mat karo...wait..karo...gussa karo...kyunki tum gusse main aur bhi khubsoorat lagti ho!!!"( dreamily)
Bani:" Dekho Tarun, maine tumhe kitni baar kaha hai ki mujhe tang mat karo, tum jante ho ki main tumse pyar nahi karti, to phir tum samajhte kyun nahi??"
Tarun:" Dekho Bani, main tumhe tab se janta hun, jab tum 3 saal ki thii...mujhse behtar life partner tumhe kahin nahi milega"
Bani:" Han Tarun, tum mere sabse purane aur irritating dost ho, jisse main aaj tak apna peecha nahi chuda paii hun...lekin life partner?? Kahin pagal to nahi ho gaye....jis ladki ki koi life hi na ho, wohi tumhe apna life partner banayegi.....issi liye kehti hun...din main tare dekhne chod do....aur abhi mujhe akela chodo...get lost"
Tarun:" Tumhe kya lagta hai? tum mujhse aisi batein karogi, to main tumhe akela chod dunga, imposssible"
Bani:" Accha, tum aise nahi sudhroge"
Suddenly Bani started screaming and shouting at the people around her and Tarun was surprised,
Tarun:" Isse achanak kya ho gaya??"
Bani:" Help!!...Help , please help me, yeh ladka mujhe ched raha hai."
People gathered around them and a guy asked her ,
Guy:" What happened miss?? What's your problem??"
Bani:" Yeh yeh ladka, Mere saath batamizi kar raha hai. Yeh achanak mujhse flirt karne laga, jab maine iski batein nahi suni, to mere saath zabar dasti kar raha hai"
All the people started punching Tarun black and blue, while Bani escaped from there whistling all the way.
Jai was having a tough time looking for Bani in London, he sighted her a while ago near Thames, but she disappeared as soon as she had appeared. His mind was on an overdrive,
Jai:" What on earth made me say that in front of everyone?", Jai mused to himself.
Anyhow, he had to find Bani and clear this matter. Actually Jai had come up with a plan . He was also an ardent hindi movie buff.....so his idea was also borrowed from the plot of a movie....it was that of a contract marriage, but he still had to have Bani's approval in this matter.Jai was scared about how Bani would react to his proposal.
Jai:" Iss Bani ka natutre thoda ladkiyon jaisa hota to main usse aram se pata leta, lekin yeh ladki kissi toofan se kum nahi hai", siad Jai rubbing his neck as he recalled how she had gripped his collar tightly in front of his parents.
