PART 2:

In Dixit-Singhania house…

Anamika: Daksh, why did you say yes… How can we let Bani go alone… Who will look after her there…

Anamika was highly agitated and the proof to that was she would start pacing up and down the room when ever she was in this frame of mind… and that's what she was doing now…

Daksh: Let her go… Anamika… She needs to start her life again… She needs to live again… Don't you want that independent and self-confident Bani again… I want our old Bani back…. I know how hard its for me to see the pain and fear in her eyes everytime I look at her… And I know its equally hard for you…

Anamika: Daksh I agree with all you say and that Jai will be there with her but….

Anamika came and stood in front of him and said with tears in her eyes….

Anamika: I am scared… I am scared of her getting hurt again… saying so she went into his arms….

After a lot of consoling from Daksh's side Anamika subdued…

Anamika: Lord knows what went wrong.. all of us were so happy before that dreadful day when tat incident happened at her college… I don't believe that an year and half as past since that day… It feels like all that happened yesterday…

Flashback:

Bani was pursuing her MBA and it was the day after her convocation had gotten over… All friends had decided to do a small get-together…. Everyone was having a galla time…

It was past 10 when Bani decided to make a move…

Bani: Aditi (Aditi Sharma …. A very dear friend of Bani and Aditya Bali's second cousin…)… I think I should make a move.. Its getting late…

Aditi: How will you go Bani…

Bani: Aditi… Don't worry I will call a cab…

Aditi: Wait na for a while… Me and Sid (Sid Saxena… her fianc: he was also a student with them) will drop you…

At that moment Sidhaanth (Sid) and Mohan (Mohan khandelwal… he was also in their class and their friend) came…

Mohan: If its okie guys I will drop Bani as it is her house is on my way to my Uncle's place where I will be staying tonight

Though Sid knew Mohan well but he was not in favour of her going alone with Mohan and before he could speak out his opinion Bani said yes as she didn't wanted Sid and Aditi to travel all the way as it was already getting late….

Bani: Seriously Sid its okie… once I reach home I will call you back…

Sid: Ok kid, take care and do remember to call… And Mohan drive carefully please…

After that Bani left with Mohan and sometime later Aditi left with Sid

Around 11:30….

Aditi started getting worried as Bani had not yet called and it was like her to be so careless and not call…

Aditi: Hi Sid

Sid: Hi… Wat happened dear… you sound worried…

Aditi: Bani hasn't called up yet and I have tried her cell so many times.. I don't want to call at her place and get everyone worried…

Sid: Okie I will be there in 15 mins…

It had been 30 mins since Sid came… He had called Mohan… but he wasn't replying… And Aditi was trying Bani's number…. By now Aditi was on verge of tears…

Aditi: Sid I think I should call Aditya Bhaiya….

Saying so she dialed Adi's no.

(Aditya and Jigyasa were married by then… )

In Aditya-Jigyasa's room

Jigyasa: Adi… your phone is ringing… who must have called so late… I hope everything is okie

Aditya picked up his cell and went silent…

Aditya: it was Aditi… it seems Bani is not answerin the phone and she had left the party at 10…

Jigyasa: No one is there at their place today… Remember… Pia is also staying at our place and Daksh, Anamika and Rano have gone to Mt.Abu…

Aditya looked worried.. He said: I asked Sid to come with Aditi… Because when Bani comes she will come here only na… and no use their staying there and getting worried….

Another hour passed before they heard a car stop in front of Dixit-Singhania house…. By this time everyone was up… Jai, his parents and Adi's mom… Sid and Aditi were there too…

Aditi and Pia rushed towards Bani's place followed by other's… What they saw there shook them to the core of their being… Bani could hardly stand on her foot and her clothes were barely covering her… Pia ran forward and hugged Bani…. And Jigyasa found the keys from her bag and opened the house…

Everyone was shocked and numbed… Ladies had taken Bani in… And Sid had called his sister Anupama… She wa a doctor..

Uday in a hoarse voice: Jai I think you should call Daksh and ask him to come back…

At that very moment Jai's cell phone rang…

Jai: Its Daksh…. Hi Daksh…

Daksh: Hi Jai… Sorry yaar to bother you at this time but Anamika was getting restless…She is worried about Bani… That's why we are returning back…. Could you just check for us if Bani is okie…She is not answering our calls…

Jai didn't knew what to say… He didn't wanted to lie to his friend… but this was no time to tell the truth… so he said: Don't worry… She is fine… She must be sleeping… I will go and check and get back to you….

Daksh: Thanks pal…. And saying so he kept down the phone…

Jai looked at his father and said: I couldn't tell him on the phone Dad…. Bani is like a sister to him… what should have I said… that your sister was raped…

Uday came near his son and held his son… There was silence in the room…

Anupama stepped out and came and stood in front of Sid… and said: Jai is right… I did some tests which confirmed what he said… Bani is very much traumatized I gave her some medicine so she is sleeping right now.. I will stay the night with her …. Saying so to Sid she went inside to Bani's room…

Sid was furious by this moment: This is all my fault… I shouldn't have let her come alone with Mohan… I should have known better dammit…. I swear I wont leave that jerk…

Uday: Calm down son… its not your fault… its neither Bani's fault…. And Mohan.. we will deal with him but lets wait till Bani gets a hold on herself… law will deal with him…

Adi: If we go to police then it will damage her reputation papa ji…

Uday: fighting for justice can never damage anyone's reputation son… and those people who think like that… I don't think we should be worried about them…

Adi nodded his agreement to this.. …

Jai: lets wait for Daksh's return…

And they all waited for the other s to return.. .

hi guys..

hey dear

i agree jeenal... the reason why i thught abt writing abt this was i hd recently read an article how families tend to be silent in name of saving families reputation or even tend to leave the girl thinking the stigma and probs that she might bring in future...

Poor Bani. But I hope they don't keep quiet.

Its unfortunate that in such cases the victim has to suffer not only from the actual assault but psychological trauma & humiliation afterwards when its not her fault.

Anamika is right in worrying about bani but holding her back is not an answer.

Good star.

Oh my god Mohan raped Bani.....

So Bani was raped? I had thought something similar must have happened. Poor girl. No wonder she is the way she is now. I also feel bad for Sid, bechara is still probably guilty for not having stopped Bani from going with Mohan, the b******. Excellent update hun. Plz continue soon. 😊

heyyy...

thats a really nice story
