Thank you to the readers that have commented and also to all those silent readers..

+++++++

As soon as they walked out of Jai's office, Pushkar gave Bani a high-five….congratulating her and welcoming her into the company….teasing her that now she would have to work really hard….

Mai hu na tumhara boss, Pushkar will make sure that tum teek kaam karte ho ya nahi…ek dum kadi nazar rakunga tum par….

And so Bani was hired, now she felt that she was further bound to Jai…much to her annoyance…

+++++++

Chapter 4

Bani was glad that she had a job but not very happy where she had the job…

Kaha phaas gayi mei…

She was just so unsure whether she would be happy working for Mr. Walia…though; she was not sure how much interaction she would really have with the big boss …

…..kya pharak padta hai.. mei to waise bhi jadatar Pushkar our uske team ke saath hi to kaam karungi….

She was going to start working the very next day, since, of course, Mr.Walia did not believe in wasting any time…Kal se join kar lena….he had commanded her…

Rano, Pia and even Masi were eagerly waiting for her to come back….Seeing her walking in with a sullen face, none of them wanted to ask her how she fared in her interview...Bani had a big frown on her face…

Masi quickly got up saying

Bani, Chai piyogi beta....bhook lag gayi hogi na….chalo mei kuch nashta leke aati hu…you sit and chat with Pia and Rano…trying not to show her concern…

Ha Masi, lekin aap betiye, mei hi chai aur nashta lekar aati hu…

Pia, Rano and Masi decided not to ask Bani anything and were planning on how to cheer Bani up….now they believed that Bani has not got the job…she had looked so dejected and sad…

Kuch nahi puchna usko…agar khud kuch bataye to teek hai….warned Masi..

Di…koye bat nahi agar aap ko job nahi mili to…you can always try somewhere else….blurted out Pia upon seeing Bani come out with a tray in her hand…

Rano had a worried look…she just went and gave Bani a hug....

While Masi was thinking… Yeh Munna bhi na…apne usulo par atka reheta hai…what's wrong in bending the rules a little bit…de deta bacchi ko naukri..to kya pharak padta…

Bani looked a little amused toward the three

Who told you that I did not get the job…??

Mujhe job to mil gayi and I start tomorrow… she gave a dimpled smile …

Masi was very happy and pulled Bani towards the Mandir in the house….lets go and take God's blessings….Mujhe to pata hi tha ki tumhe naukri to mil hi jayegi….bus thodi si phikar ho rahi thi beta….ki kahi tu udhas hoke na laute…

Masi had felt very sorry for the sisters, she could sense their sadness in having lost both their parents so young...she had decided in her mind that she would do everything that she could to make it easy for the girls to settle in.. She was just as excited as Rano and Pia that Bani had got the job…

She told Bani that she would make something sweet to celebrate Bani having gotten the job…

Bani felt tears in her eyes and was touched by Masi's happiness for them…bending down to touch her feet taking Masi's blessings..

Masi, of course, pulled Bani up and hugged her saying that never feel that you are alone…

Hum saab hai na tumhare saath…tumhari kushiya bhi batenge or tumhare duk bhi…

Masi, who was a very loving person had tried to keep everybody in the house together….she was able to understand and see Jigyasa's love for her brother and her children through her nasty barbs, she was able to see Aditya's tolerance and acceptance of Jigyasa because he loved her so much …she had even felt Jai's loneliness….even with so many people living in the house….

What started with Masi making besan ladoo as a sweet dish, ended up with Bani making dinner for the evening and halwa for desert afterwards…

Seeing all the youngsters hanging together Bani said…

Ranveer, Anu tum Rano aur Pia ko kal le jaoge na apne saath….to get their college admission done..

Yes Banidi said Anu….don't worry we will take care of it….

Rano had a worried expression…she was really worried about going into a new environment, not sure how the students in this big city would be, would she?? could she??...become a part of the crowd??

Arre Rano….why are you so worried?? Ranveerbhai hai na…koi kuch nahi karega…Bhai senior jo hai...sab thoda sa darte hai unse...bilkul nahi chedenge tumhe…she said with a big grin..

Bus mere saath raho....I will introduce you to all my friends and then you just hang out with us....kuch nahi hoga…now don't worry so much ... just chill...Really don't worry yaar....

Arre look at me Rano, I am looking forward to the new adventure… meeting new people….making new friends...isme darne ki kya baat hai?...says Pia.

Pia being Pia wants to look into getting admission in to a Fashion Design Institute….would not listen to anybody……She knew what she wanted to do and where her interests were…she knew that she would indeed do well in the field of fashion….

Banidi, ek baar admission mil jaye….bus dekhna ek ek ki chooti kar dungi….aise aise designs banougi ke sab log dekhte reh jayenge….you just wait and watch…

Aditya came back just in time for dinner with his mother, having picked her up from the railway station… she had gone visiting her relatives in Punjab..….Daadi was a very interesting character…very vocal about her feelings…much to Jigyasa's annoyance…calling Bani…Rani Mukherjee…

That night dinner was a festive affair with Aditya praising the food to no end, much to his wife's annoyance…

Wa wa…aaj to khane ka kuch aur hi maaja hai…said Aditya…

Bani, pass me the halwa…I want another helping of it…lo lo jai…tum bhi lo…this is so delicious…

Dadi too ate an extra roti because she liked the taste of the paneer makhani that Bani had cooked…

Masi looked on with a smile on her face, happy that everybody was together at the dinner table.…. enjoying themselves.

Jai was amused to see so much noise at the dinner table unlike other nights when dinner was a quiet affair…

Ranveer and Pushkar trying to outdo each other trying to catch the girls' attention and Anu just happy that she had three new friends to talk to….

Jigyasa….of course annoyed that the girls had only been there a day and the whole atmosphere of the house had changed…she felt like she was losing control over the house…over her kids and over her husband…she wondered what was wrong with her Jaibhaiya…what was he thinking of ?? keeping these orphans in the house…

lagta hai ki abhi hum dharmashala ke saath anath ashram bhi chalane lagenge is ghar mei…

She gave Bani an annoyed glance...she worried the most about this girl…It seemed like Bani was slowly but surely making her way into everybody's heart…Masi already loved her and could not stop talking about her….the boys could not keep away from her….already trying to get her opinion about things…Aditya already treating her like his daughter, Daadi having just met Bani was already talking to her like a long lost friend…and Jaibhaiya…??? what was he thinking?? What was he feeling??? All she saw was the amused expression…was it tolerance or was there more to it…was she is seeing more than what really was?? Was she seeing a spark of interest there??

She knew that she had to nip this at the bud… she had to do something…anything to get the girls out of the house…thought Jigyasa restlessly..

++++++++++++

Now with so many people happy that she had found a job, Bani started getting excited about going to work. She had to report to work at 9 AM, but had barely slept with the excitement… She woke up early getting ready. She saw that both Masi and Daadi were already in the pooja room and were doing the aarti. She joined them there and took the aarti and the prasad from Masi. Masi and Daadi both blessed her and wished her luck with her new job.

Masi went towards the kitchen, wanting to make sure that Tony, the butler and Ramukaka the cook had started on the breakfast…and that it was almost ready…

Bani followed Masi saying…mei apki madat karti hui Masi...chaliye…

This was her way of making sure that she did a fair share of the work in the house for the three of them and that way no one would have an opportunity of pointing fingers at her or her sisters..

Everybody was at the table waiting for Jai who came down all ready to go to work…

While getting ready to leave Pushkar said to Bani

Bani, jao chaldi se tayar ho jao… aj tumhara pehela din hai…chalo mere saath ride kar lo...hotel tak

Nahi Pushkar…..mei Rickshaw leke chali jaoogi...I don't want other people working there to think that I got the job based on the fact that I know the owners of the company…please samjho na….I want them to know me as Bani…one of them...working alongside them..

…Ha Pushkar, Bani is right…

Thank you Adi Uncle

So saying, Bani went upstairs to get ready to go to work…

While leaving she told Pia and Rano….Make sure you pray before you leave today...take God's blessing...sambhal ke jaana…I will talk to you guys in the evening…let me know what happens then….

Rano: Good Luck Di!!

Pia: Don't worry Di.. Anu and Ranveer are with us..so no problems..

Masi looked on Bani thinking what a matured girl she is for her age…

While Jigyasa thought…yeh Bani to badi smart nikli…look how she is behaving to portray herself to be different from others….naukri lete waqt bhool gayi….who the owner is…abhi ride lete waqt she remembers??

I really like the way you have portrayed Bani's character. Somewhat like in KS but she has more a mind of her own and her own will. Cant wait to see what happens next/ Byebye Ranjana

Thank you all for taking the time to comment and say encouraging things…

Know that it is greatly appreciated…

Thank you all those silent readers too…those view counts are encouraging too... :-)

Tinnie, a special thanks to you...

+++++++++++

While leaving she told Pia and Rano….Make sure you pray before you leave today...take God's blessing...sambhal ke jaana…I will talk to you guys in the evening…let me know what happens then….

Rano: Good Luck Di!!

Pia: Don't worry Di.. Anu and Ranveer are with us..so no problems..

Masi looked on Bani thinking what a matured girl she is for her age…

While Jigyasa thought…yeh Bani to badi smart nikli…look how she is behaving to portray herself to be different from others….naukri lete waqt bhool gayi….who the owner is…abhi ride lete waqt she remembers??

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Chapter 5

Pia was excited about visiting the college and Rano was very nervous.

Rano, a very shy and sensitive girl, tended to hide behind the huge glasses but loved her Banidi to death… took life very seriously... she studied hard and worked harder because she did not want to let her Di down…she knew how much time and effort her sister had put into making sure that they would not miss their mom….and that they would not lack the love of their parents…

Pia loved her sister too but was a little selfish...tended to do things more for herself…always thought of her own happiness first...

Rano's admission in to the college was done very easily as the Walia's were pretty popular with the principal of the college. Jai had made large donations to the college over the years. So Rano's worries were unnecessary and unfounded. She had a big grin on her face for the first time as things started looking positive…

…See I told you…you should not have a hard time getting in to college….you are such a worry wart…Itna socha mat karo and chill…bus now you just enjoy yourself….with me of course… quipped Anu laughingly…

Rano thought….Banidi had a job, her own admission was done…now all that remained was Pia's admission in to the college of her choice…then they could start their new life with full zeal….

Ranveer who had so far not paid much attention to Rano, gave her a quizzical look…Rano's happiness showed on her face making him look at her twice.. Rano was busy talking to Anu, when she saw Ranveer looking at her. She blushed, not used to male attention.

With Pia around people tended to not pay attention to her which was fine by her. She felt uncomfortable with too much attention on her anyways… She turned her back to him continued talking to Anu, ignoring Ranveer.

Arre chalo, chalo abhi Pia ki admission bhi to baki hai…let's not waste anymore time…Come on guys…we need to leave…

Ranveer pushed the girls to move on so that they could take Pia to the Fashion institute….

Pia was jumping with joy as they got down in front of the institute…not able to contain her excitement…she moved forward…forgetting about the others with her….

She carried her portfolio of the pictures that she had done, the drawing of the clothes and accessories that she had designed with her so that she could prove that she would be a worthy student…She even had photographs of Rano and Banidi modeling her outfits…

After a couple of interviews with the professors and the principal of the institute, she too got her admission. Her happiness knew no bounds, her dream was coming true…she was in Mumbai, at the Fashion institute … now she just had to make sure that she worked and both her and her work gets noticed by the renowned people of the fashion industry...She was so happy that she was going to meet new people, make new friends…she was one step closer to making her promise to Banidi come true…

+++++++++++

Bani was as excited as the girls and had reached the hotel way before time….

All the trainees were ushered into the conference room.

Bani looked around seeing young, friendly faces..

The room became quiet as Mr. Walia, Pushkar, Aditya uncle, Mr Goel and Mr. Puri and few other department heads walked in to the room

Jai was the first one to talk…

Good Morning to all of you and welcome to the Walia Group…

He welcomed all the trainees introducing them to the present management team.

He gave a quick glance towards Bani who was pointedly ignoring him and had her head down listening carefully, scribbling in her notebook as if taking important notes...

Pushkar took over were Jai left off; passing the sheet that contained the list of who was assigned to which department…

Bani ended up with the first rotation in the restaurant waiting on people.

She was paired with Rahul, Sarika and Nisha, who seemed to be a fun bunch….

Sarika and Nisha were chatting a mile a minute when changing into their uniforms…telling each other where they were from, who they had left back home….etc etc….

Bani was quietly listening to their chatter with a smile on her face….

Arre Bani tell us something about yourself... you are so quiet…soon you will know everything about us but we will know nothing about you….said Sarika…Yeh to bilkul fair nahi hoga na…

Meri do behene hai, Pia and Rano… mujse chotti hai and today they have gone to apply for colleges…soon they will start college and then my worries will be reduced…

Hum log bas thode din pahele hi Mumbai ayeh hai and are living with our Masi ..

You are so lucky said Nisha…relatives hone se hostel mei to nahi rahena padta hai?

Look at Sarika and I…we would rather work longer hours in the hotel than go to the hostel rooms…they are so dingy… par humlogo ne soch liya hai….in a few days once we have saved up enough money we will start looking for an rental apartment that we will share….phir atleast accha sa apna ghar to hoga..

+++++++++++++++

It was a long but a happy day for Bani. When she reached home everybody was sitting and having fun and enjoying themselves waiting for her…

Di aa gayi screamed Pia.

Rano screamed…nahi Pia…mei pehle…mei Di ko bataugi sab phir tum bolna…

Rano told her how happy she was to get into the same college as Anu.

Pia dreamily told her about her experience with enrolling in the classes at the Fashion institute just as she always wanted.

Ranveer was boasting about how easy it was for him to get the admission for Rano and Pia.

…Being a part of the Walia clan certainly has its advantages… just had to pull some strings to get things moving quickly...

Pushkar had a few things to add of his own…not to be left out in impressing the girls...

…I too showed Bani around…ha par tumhari Di to mujhe pehechanese hi inkar kar rahi thi…Pushkar Sir, Pushkar Sir karke baate kar rahi thi… how annoying…Ha…naye dost jo mil gaye hai isse…

Masi laughed at the antics of the kids and asked Tony to bring tea and nashta for everybody...

Later, as tired as Bani was, after getting refreshed she went to help Masi with dinner…

++++++++++

The girls settled in quite comfortably and it seemed like everyone was happy in what they were doing…

Bani was enjoying herself at work…. it was hard work but she got along wonderfully with her colleagues.

They had fun at lunch pulling each others legs… talking about their experiences and gossiped…making plans to go to the movies and the mall soon…

Rahul who could not stop flirting with Shannon, Mr. Bali's secretary and kept moaning

Ab to meri chuti ho gayi… now that he had a steady job… Ma piche pad jayegi… get married and get settled … arre Ma to samajti hi nahi… abhi abhi to job mila hai.. toda maaza kar le….ab to kisiko meri gale mei bandh hi degi…

While Nisha had a dreamy look on her face thinking about Pushkar... half in love with him already…

Sarika was latoo over the big boss, Jai Walia and did nothing to hide the fact…she tried everything from wearing bright clothes to chatting out loud to get his attention…

Bani just laughed at the antics of her friends and dismissed them…pagal log hai…

One day as the girls were getting ready in the locker room, Sarika asked Bani,

…aaj movie ka plan bana hai…chalogi hamare saath..Rock On dekne jayenge…Rahul ko badi mushkil se char tickets mile hai..

Bani: I am not sure ..mujhe Masi se puchna padega…

To puch lo na.. replied Nisha… aaj hum log ki chutti bhi jaldi ho rahi hai.. kal se to phir we are on the late shift.. Aaj agar nahi gaye to phir we want get a chance until the next 15 days...

Masi gave permission to Bani telling her sambhal ke aane ghar beta…tumhara wait karenge…khane pe...

Masi I should be back by 9.30 …

++++++++++++++++++

That evening everyone was hanging around in the sitting area waiting for Bani...Jigyasa walks in and asks when they were going to eat...

Bus abhi adhe gante mei kha lenge, Bani ati hi hogi...replied Masi.

Jigyasa raised her voice, saying …..are we going to be working our schedule around Bani's schedule now.. Yeh to hadh ho gayi masi… we eat when she comes in…we plan our days according to her schedule…yeh koi baat hui??

Pia and Rano were upset …Pia started answering back when Rano held her arm hard indicating that she should not say anything..

Ranveer and Anu protested loudly …Maa… kya aap bhi na… kya hum log aap ke liye wait nahi karte hai kya...jab aapko der ho jati hai…

Dadi..complained..Jigyasa …tumhe to baat ka batangad banane ki adaat pad gayi hai..

Masi was annoyed too…saying that Jigyasa had no control over her mouth and talks first and thinks later…

Hearing so much commotion Jai and Aditya who walk in from the study….seeing that Rano had tears in her eyes and Pia looking upset ...while all others are also grumbling…

Once Jai found out what happened…he was upset with Jigyasa, but without saying anything….gives her a glare and walks back to the study…

Few minutes later, Bani walks in smiling, remembering the scenes from the movie "Rock on"…She had thoroughly enjoyed herself… the movie was so young and happening... the kind that the younger generation would enjoy… she had to tell Pia, Rano, Anu and Ranveer to definitely go and see this movie…

As soon as Jigyasa saw her she said quite scathingly… aiye aiye… bus aap ka hi intezaar ho raha tha…Masi ne sub ko bhuka rakha tha ab tak.... kyuki aap ghar pe nahi thi na…..ab chaliye sab khana khane…

Chalo Masi ab to khana khate hai….ab to khatam ho gaya na …intezar?

So saying Jigyasa walked towards the dining table…
