"did u reach home?" bani asked in reply
"yes just now" the reply came back
"okay goodnight "bani replied back
"sweet dreams " jai smsed
Bani just saw and put it aside..
+++++++
early morning,
bani's phone buzzed with a message tone, she didn't stir from sleep . later the buzzing got intense and bani drowsily opened it ,clicked on the speak button without opening her eyes.
"goodmorning " a husky male voice sang
Bani opened her eyes immediately and replied "goodmorning" still in slumber struck voice
Jai laughed from otherside "memsahib abhi tak jaggi nahin ho kya?"
"itne jaldi subah hogaya kya? "
"kya subah ,time dekha 9am , main office ke liye nikkal raha hoon aur shayad tumhare papa bhi half the world is woken up dear ,"
Bani opened her eyes to see the time in the clock hung on her opposite wall . it showed 9.
Bani sighed
Hmm shayad chale gaye honge papa bhi .main raat ko late soyee thi .
Bani , main bhi raat ko late soya tha ,
" Lekin… main thak gaye thi " bani snapped failing to understand how come he be so rude and stone hearted wile was just irritating her .
"u make it sound like a grave mistake" she continued
He laughed imagining the irritated face of her , she must be cute
"okay okay chill mam, so hotttttttt early morning " he teased emphasizing on the word hot
Bani didn't understand the words so was like kya? She had got up from bed and walked out of her room to search for any people around, her dad was gone and her maa doing some cleaning and dadi keeping an eye on the maid's work .
Bani slumped into the sofa , "aapko office shuru nahin hua kya? Mere saat guppe karne bet gaye?"
"nahin bsu shuru kar raha hoon abhi . aaj meetings kum hain ,only work on laptop "
Ohh
"hmmm I will be leaving to gulf next week ,I think so " he said
"why ?"
"I have to look into the oil procurement project we had tied there"
"ohh , when will u return?"
"why darling missing me?" bani was quiet uncomfortable hearing darling . it felt something else . she could nt comprehend the feeling .
"no dear , until then I will be saved from your torture"
"baniiiii " he seemed hurt ,
"I was just joking mr.walia"
"Hmm okay " he heard the knock on his door , come in he said
Bani was hearing it from the otherside on phone. Jai's PA entered with a file. A 25yr old she looked beautiful with the black short skirt and white blouse with a coat . her hair done in ucut infront ,with the specs falling on her nose , she was dam s**y .she is an efficient employee of walia's and more over has a soft corner for Jai Walia , her name is Swatinarang . (di don't beat me up .grill hani . hani , tumhare liye hi humne yeh character put kiya hain btw jb)
As swathi handed the file to jai , jai looked at the contents still talking to bani .he was satisfied by swathis' work .giving a satisfied look .
Swathi asked eagerly "any thing more sir " she was ogling on him ..
"no dear "jai nodded his head
Swathi left the desk and turned to door when jai called loudly
" swathi thank you sweet heart " swathi blushed , her cheeks turning pink . she gave a heart warming smile and left .
Bani heard it on phone.
"who swathi ?" she asked inquisitively
"what bani ?"
"who swtahi ?"
"oh my PA" he answered and then abruptly cut the call. Bani wasn't feeling easy at the way he had referred swathi as sweet heart and then abruptly cutting the call. She sat down biting her fingernails lost in thoughts . bani's mum came in seeing her lost
"bani go and get ready we will be going to shopping "
"shopping ? lekin kyun ?'
"kaise ladki hain tu ? shaadi hone wali hain teraa?"
"maa?"
"haan beta ek baar date fix hojaye tho time will be less "
Bani was like forget it , she stopped the discussion, getting up she dragged her legs to bathroom
After few hours bani was ready in all sense , that is finishing breakfast and dressed up to go market . bani's mother and pia took her to some shops and they purchased new salwars and tshirts and jeans. Bani was suspicious looking at the things being shopped but she was least bothered to question.
Bani was getting phone calls from friends enquiring on her status over the college trip . evrytime she lifted one call, she would get upset and not talk to her momor complain to her .
Bani's mom was just smiling . it was hard for her to see bani like that but when damaad ji wanted to then they had no other choice.
Bani decided to teach jai a lesson means tit for tat .Anu had come in the evening like the other times and bani started putting her plan into action., the result was very fast
+++
Two days later
Bani got a call from her friend
"bani why were u lying ? ur name is already enrolled in list of the students comig for trip and money also paid "
"what ?'
"yes. U can ask daksh"
"butt??" bani understood what it was now . she was elated at the same time angry on her parents and daksh more so on jai for playing the trick on her . She decided she would keep quiet and see how will they tell her .?
Its next day early morning around 6Am when she called jai walia's cell phone. Jai was still sleepy .he didn't lift the call. , bani was sitting with her parents and sharing her morning tea Bani kept giving calls every 15minutes she was laughing to herself .her parents looked at her craziness .bani didn't answer but walked away .giving a smug look. finally at 10am jai lifted the call
"good morning sleepy heady wake up " bani said she was trying hard not to laugh over phone
Her laughter filled sweet voice broke his slumber instantly and he looked up at the clock on the desk and then behind the desk there was her photo hanged .it was her Jassi look which he had framed on wall.
"hmm good morning bani " jai yawned , still on bed
"not up yet ? Half the world has woken up by now and are doing work .my dad also left to office you know "she imitated his words
"hmm still other half world is sleeping dear so I belong to that part " jai answered huskily wrapping the duvet on himself
Bani was caught up with his voice.
"but u will be late to ur office now, miss all ur meeting and work so much ohmyy!!!! " bani made a exaggerated statement
Jai smiled "hmm may be "
"I made 25 calls to u " bani asked
"hmm oh why ?" he asked and simultaneously looked into missed call list to see the number being more than that and it started at 5am onwards
"Why were u so keen in disturbing my sleep?"
"No I am not keen in disturbing ur sleep I was just implementing ur good words, early rise ,early to work but why did u wake up late? " bani asked cautiously not to be caught but jai
"hmm what to do , yesterday anu was whining that she wanted to share my bed and sleep ,like u sleep with ur dadi and it was uncomfortable"
"hmm why ur bed is small or wat ?" she asked slowly
"no dear my bed and my heart is very bigggg to accommodate u (bani blushed unknowingly) .but the prob is I have the habit of sleeping nude without my u, ndies also " he was so so husky sounding. Bani's ears burned hearing him and bit her tongue,regretting for asking the question her face was embarrassed.
"and yesterday I had to sleep with clothes on and that was tough task uncomfy for me." he continued. bani was quiet on other side
"Baniii Kya hua?"
"Main baatmain baath karoongi "saying so she cut the call .
Jai laughed clearly visualizing her red face. He had guessed yesterday night when anu was whinning about it that this was bani's kartot getting back on him, irritating him.
Bani had teased anu that she sleeps alone in her room no one to share it while bani herself has her daadi to share ,Anu being kid got into bani's tunes and played along …
Jai got up from bed , he looked at her photo . "how many more days will u torture me bani, I want u in my life soon " he spoke desperately to the photo and left to freshen up deciding that today he would drop in dixit residency and spend some time with her .
In the evening , when jai reached dixit residency , bani wasnt home.
bani's mother told him that she went to a shop to bring tubelight .she will come now only
bani recahed after fewminutes witha tubelight in her right hand ,it looked like a bamboo stick in her hand..
aap itne jaldi aagaye bani questioned seeing jai
kyun nahin aasakta?kya?
in between bani's mom, entered . jaldi kar beta shyaam dalrahe hain,andhera chaajayega.
jii maa.
main abhi aate hoon bani took permission from jai .
jai looked at bani leaving with tube light in her hand.
kiran came to hall to bring a chair into the kitchen . jai saw her and said
"main kar detha hoon mummyji "
kiran obliged
he went inside the kitchen with the chair , he alighted the chair and then fixed the tubelight with his hands. bani when she saw him doing her job got upset.and left the place .she sat in the hall un the sette when jai came wiping hsi hands with a napkin .
bani one glass of cold water ..he asked settling himself on the seette beside her
she replied " mere ghar main cold water nahin, cool water hain , voh bhi usse kitchen main jahan se tum aaye hoon , on ur right side , there is a pot and tumblers beside it, go and drink it "
bani kya baat karahe hoo ? dadi seeing it got upset . as kiran brought the water filled tumbler . bani left the place angrily .jai saw her walking out side the door taking a route towards the stair case,
"burra mat maanaa beta voh , kya haina ,bani ko tubelight fix karna bahut pasand hain aur issghar main vahi karte hain yeh kaam .aaj tumne karne naa diya tho bus naaraz hogaye" dadi answered
jai smiled "itsokay dadi , main abhi jaatha hoon usse baat karne."
"itna aacha daamad hain humara" dadi praised jai .
bani sat on the stair case gloomily looking at the road. jai climbed the steps two at a time, bani saw him climbing refrained from smiling ,in fact she turned her face away from his direction. Jai stood infront of her , he looked at her face direction , bani turned her face away towards left, jai turned his face in bani's direction , bani turned it other side ,jai again turned towards her side .. this went on for few times when finally bani bent her head , now to see bani's face, jai used his forefinger to lift her chin, bani was reluctant and she hit his hand , jai looked at her sometime more and then silently sat beside her , making room for him. Bani now saw him from corner of her eyes, he was settled in his place gazing the road. Jai caught her gaze and started laughing openmouthed, looking at her . bani looked at him miffed then slowly whispered "sorry"
jai was stunned hearing it . bani and telling sorry . He looked at her seriously; she was silent for few seconds then replied
"I don't like some one else interfering my house duties, "
"I want to be the one to take responsibilities of my parents"
Jai heard it silently , "who stopped from doing that ?"
"no one , but everytime the society pokes in saying only girl nishikant ,kaise chalega , bte ke shaadi ke baat tumkahan rahogey ,tumhara kaun dekhbaal karega?"
Jai smiled yes this was true ,the society is mean and always hurts the people . so this is the reason why u don't want to marry
Hmm bani nodded jai smiled. "U know what bani if ur parents know about u becoming sinister , they will be very hurt , yet they will be proud to have a daughter like you"
Bani looked up in his eyes as his words reached her eyes, "dear , even if u get married u can look after your parents, I will also be part of your family , I will also share your duties, they are parents for me too .."
"I won't share my parents love understood" she announced
Jai laughed "achha "
"haan , jab dekho voh tumhare gungaan gathe rahte hain ,ulta mujhe data padte hain ,sab tumhare vajah se "bani complained
Jai laughed at her thinking, he was right in identifying the location of her brain in her knees
"you know what , u r the dumbest girl I ever crossed "
"what ?' she was offended
"I mean bani, see they r ur parents they will anytime love u more than me, agar thoda mere prashansa kiya matlab yeh tho nahin ki they started hating you . They r doing that because they love u a lot and once we marry, u will be with me .."
"I wont marry u .."
"okay we will discuss that later ," he dropped the issue there
"how is ur preparation for the tour ?" he asked to divert the conversation
"what tour ?" bani acted innocent
"ur college wala,its on Monday na?"
"lekin papa ne tho mana kardiya thana"
"daksh ne tho pay kardiya tha kal " jai declared forgetting the surprise..
Bani gave a big grin, jai bit his llips looking at bani . bani started laughing loudly and continuosly .
Stop it bani ab kitna hassogey ?"
"mr.walia , itna aasani se aapke muh se sach nikkal tha hain kya?" she asked
" maine batana chaha isliye bataya varna …"
"hahaha abhi phekna bandh karo "
Jai sighed deeply . acha abhi chalo bahar jathe hain kuch khane , mujhe bhook lagi hain , he looked at the time,
Bani made a face, nahin mujhe bahar jaane ka mann nahin hain .
Par mujhe bhook lag raha hain bani
Main neeche jaake kuch late hoon aapke liye ya phir hum neeche chalthe hain maa, kuch banadege ..
Nahin ruko, tum pizza khaogey . he offered
Haan
Tho main ek order kar detha hoon aajayega aadhe gante main
Parr
Mummy ko pareshan kyun kar ahe hon

Jai took his cell and ordered pizza .
He sat down on the stairs and pulled bani's hand. Bani also sat down .
Tho batao kya kya planning liya tour keliye ? jai asked
Bani smiled, nahin pata bus packing tho karne hain aur kuch kharidna hoon
Kya chahiye?
"kuch nahin already ,maa lekar gaye mujhe shopping " bani said
"ohh okay , waise tuje kab pata chala about the tour and name"
Aap bhool rahe hain mr.walia voh mere college mere friends hain ,dakku akela organizer nahin .so it spilled
Hmmm
Enjoy karna khoob, only time when u have no responsibilities on shoulder and live life kingsize happily jai said dreamily
Bani looked at him, hmm sahi hain . aap college tour gaye the ?"
Haan college main tho hum gaye the ek barr humare gang 5boys and one girl we were quiet adventurous type so decided for ama dalbam mountain range in Himalayas in Nepal , wehad planned it priorly and discreetly alsobecause if mum or dad knew they wouldn't have allowed.
Bani was smiling and listening keenly as he told her about the adventure how his friend got a fracture in his right leg and jai himself in his left leg. Hwo the girl got scared in midway and withdrew. What all new things they saw the beuty of nature , the culture on and on
I have pics also I will show u later...as he said when his cell buzzed.. The pizza boy had coma and was searching for the house in the lane jai gave directions, bani looked at the boy standing infront of house, they went down and with out making much noise opened the main gate took the parcel and the coke along with it .jai paid the money.
Bani followed up the stairs .she wanted to hear the adventure fully and was so immersed in it..
She settled on the cemented floor of the terrace, opened the cardboard cover of the pizza pack , then the can
The floor was chilling now since it was around 9 pm or so..jai took the piece and started chewing it .so did bani.. They continued to chat not caring world.
There laughter filled voices reached the ears of bani's parenst but dadi insisted on not disturbing them as they are having good time understanding each other …
As they finished the pizza , bani and jai were talking about everything under sun, jai told his experiences at various stages adolescence, teenage, college and many .so did bani ..
It was around 11 when bani getting tired yawned continuosly , so also jai , jai looked at his watch . the time read 11
Ohh bani bate karte time kab kat gaya pata hi naa chala . chalo main nikkalta hoon , kal important meetings hain . u take rest and sleep well. Jai got up .
Bani tried to get up when her feet felt numb with coldness, jai saw her getting tremors.
"kya hua ?"
"moch aagaya" saying so she pinched the feet . jai looked at , he bent and spread her legs, she moaned in pain, jai massage the area lightly , bani looked at his face which was concentrating on her feet alone.
"mr.walia bus hoagya" she said taking away her legs from his hold. He looked at her ,asked with concern
"are u alright ?"
"yes,she got up ." her feet again got cramps, she sprinted . jai took hold of her hand and put it on his shoulder and then he put his hand on her waist , a shiver ran through bani's body at his touch.
He guided her to take few steps. Soon she was fine.
"eat healthy food bani " he comented
Bani made a face .jai took her down the steps. Bani struggled out from his hold, he laughed
"come on bani,don't make me feel like creep "
Shut up " she replied
"okay me going now, just ring the bell .?" ur parents must have slept ? we r disturbing their sleep?
No way theyw ill sleep without me home.. bani smiled proudly as sshe told him how they were awake until she came back from disco last time.
Jai smiled .. the door was opened by dadi , dadi smiled.
Ghar yaad aaya tum dono ko .she asked sternly
Uffo dadi , said bani
While jai said "sorry dadi ,muje bus dhyaan na raha"
"andar aajao beta, kuch khaya kya?" she aksed with concern by then bani's mum also came. Jai was under radar
"haan dadi kha liye, bus aapke izzat chahiye ," he asked getting up
Teek hain beta dhyan se jaana
Jii
Bani came up to the door to send him off
Dhyan se drive karna . bani cautioned
Jai nodded his head . looking at her lovely face he took uturn and leftwaving his hand out .
It was loveliest evening till now , he never thought he would enjoy so much in his life. It was after a long long time..
Bani wlaked in., her mother and dadi were grinning
"kya?" bani asked
"kuch nahin they shook there head
Bani walked away shyly , she didnt know why her cheeks were burning red ..
