SS: Reluctant Hearts, Last Part, PG-7 - Page 2

That was so funny. I am on the ground right now. LMAO! Jai got a punch because he broke up with Meera on her birthday. So funny! Can't wait to read the rest. Love this Bani and Jai. Please continue very soon.

(II)

"Morning fruitcake" jai exclaimed, popping his head from the opening of the door of bani's cabin...

"Mmmm...Morning..." bani gestured with her hand...busy reading a law book...making notes...

"Get a life bani..." jai said exasperated by her workaholic-ness...

"You are late again jai...uncle has already arrived...he has called us in about half an hour..."

"SHIT!!!" jai cursed under his breath...

"You couldn't call me bani...paa has come...he will screw me up..."

"Check your mobile to see how many missed calls are there..."

"Okay...I was catching up some sleep...you know last night..."

"I am not interested jai...I hope you are prepared with the project report...you know uncle doesn't like imperfection..." bani said sliding the book back to its place in the shelf... she burst out laughing as soon as she turned around to see jai's face... his left eye which was bruised was covered by a black eye-patch, with his poker expression he looked funny...

"Stop laughing...I couldn't just roam around with a black eye..." jai tried to defend himself...buttoning his open coat...bani came near him, properly knotting the loosely hung tie...

"You really need to grow up jai..." bani shook her head...

"And become like you and dad...No thanks...I love myself..." jai said flamboyantly...

"Let's go...uncle is waiting..." bani picked up some files...

"The lion must be ready to eat up its prey...save me baniii..." he tagged along behind her...

"Hello darling..." Uday Walia...hugged bani warmly...

"Hello uncle...how are you...?? And your health..." bani said pulling apart...

"I am fine...I am fit as an athlete...even in this age I do gym unlike someone...' uday said eyeing jai from the corner of his eye...

"How was Australia...?"

"Oh!! Beautiful darling..."

"Darling to somebody and not even a proper greeting to somebody else..." jai said...

"Of course...the darling is my responsible girl...and that somebody is my irresponsible son..." uday glutted...

"When did you come dad...I didn't see you at home..." jai said making a face...

"Someone was snoring away to glory...and I can't enter into dreams..." uday said caustically...bani rolled her eyes, here goes again, the father-son verbal dual...

"I had a busy night..."

"Of course you did??" uday gave him a dead-pan look....

"By the way...what the hell is that thing on your eye..." uday looking at it with disgust...

"Oh!!Fashion...inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean..." came jai's prompt reply...bani bit the inside skin of her cheek to suppress her bubbling giggles...

"This is my office...I can't believe you jai..." uday sat down on the chair...jai quickly turned around, removing the eye-patch, he took out his glares and wore them...

"Uncle, the report is ready...I have made the legal documents, I have put the clauses I found were appropriate...any changes tell me after you go through..." bani said handing him the file she prepared...

"I know you are perfect dear...jai I would like to see the marketing report..." uday threw him a look...

"Yes paa..." jai hesitantly extended the report file...

"Well...I will read it..."

"Okay uncle...I and jai are going to visit the site...after we come back we can meet for lunch..." bani suggested...

"Oh!!!Yes!!!" jai was the first one to flee from the cabin...

"PHEWWW!!!!" jai blew out air...

"I know dad will have me for lunch after reading the file..." jai said dreading...

"It's been quite a few years that uncle turned vegetarian..." bani said cheekily...

"I am not joking..."

"Jai...I am sure it must be good enough..."

"Well I did try my best...gosh!!!"

"Relax jai...he will like it..."

"Do you think so...??" jai looked at her skeptically... bani flapped her eyelids assuring him...

"Now let's go...we are getting late..."
******
"Bani...no..." jai squeaked as he stopped the car at the signal...they were returning after seeing the site...ignoring him bani rolled down the window...searching for change in her purse...taking out a few coins she distributed them among the kids who hovered around the car like moths...

Jai made some noise...leaning back... bani closed the window, wearing a content smile over her face...

"Why do you do it always...??" jai asked starting the engine, the yellow signal was displayed...

"Because I like it..." she replied...

"I have to get my car cleaned...eww..." he made a face...bani shook her head in dismissal...

"They are also humans jai...it is very easy to sit in an ac car and speak...you don't know how treacherous poverty can be... "

"It's a racket, those beggars, they share it, and it's a business..."

"Maybe but at least the children can have a piece bread before they sleep..."

"God bani...they exploit us..."

"You know more than half of the population is below poverty line...not even a single law has been passed to raise their standards... "

"Why don't you try then..." he said sarcastically steering the wheel...

"What do you think I do all day studying those big fat law books...I am trying to figure out...maybe I will send a report to the PM..."

"Grrr...here goes Mother Teresa..." bani's mobile beeped...she checked the message...

"There is no need to be a Mother Teresa...we can just do by behaving like human beings... which unfortunately many of us forget..."

"Fine...let's call it truce..." jai gave up...

"Jai just leave me over the bus stop...I have to go to the 'Basera' " 'Basera' was an old age home and bani took up cases of the aged people, children who illegally snatched their properties or other such cases without charging anything...

"Your are back to your social work...fine...but what about lunch, paa is expecting us..."

"Tell uncle I am sorry, I just got a message..."

"Okay fine..."

God bless
