~ Dil Ke Bat ~
Okay guys…this is my poor attempt at being romantic – I'm rubbish with romance!!!
So…my story hits off just before Jai's business delegates leave
Guy: Thank you Mr. Walia for having us here…and thank you to Mrs. Walia for the excellent food!
Bani smiles and looks down…Jai also smiles and gives the delegates one final greeting before they leave…Jai turns around, just as Bani looks up…their eyes lock…space and time seems to come to a stand still as she loses herself in his intense gaze…Jai slowly takes a step forward, causing her heart to beat harder and her breathing to become more shallower…suddenly a far away sound brings them both back to reality, and Bani immediately turns away, muttering something about clearing up. Jai watches her with a small smile on his lips as she walks over to the table and starts picking up the plates…she feels his gaze following her and bites her lips, trying hard to control herself from turning around, as she knows that if she becomes lost in his powerful gaze again, then anything can happen. She closes her eyes and breathes a sigh of relief as she hears his footsteps make their way steadily up to his room
***
Jai is in his room and is pacing backwards and forwards…he closes his eyes and an image of Bani, laughing comes to his mind…Jai opens his eyes quickly and runs his fingers through his hair
Jai: yeh mere saath kya ho raha hai? Joh bhi Pia neh mere saath kia, uskeliye meh Bani se nafrath karna chatha hu…usse barbad karna chatha hu…par jabhi uska chehra mere akho ke samne atha hai, tho patha nahi kyu…uske alawa mujhe kuch nahin dekhaye dehtha…
Tensed Jai starts pacing the room again…he takes a sharp turn and nearly bumps into Bani
Bani: I'm…I'm sorry Mr. Walia
Bani moves to the right and starts walking to the washroom. Suddenly she stops as Jai grabs her hand…Bani closes her eyes and tries to control her breathing…slowly Jai brings Bani backwards by her arm and looks at her innocent face, and notices the slight fear as she keeps her eyes firmly shut…he lifts his hands and brings it closer to her cheek…he yearns to touch her, to hold her, to make her his forever, but forces himself to stop
Jai: Bani…
he whispers softly
Bani: huh?!
Bani quickly opens her eyes and is startled to see how close they are, but her heart refuses to move back
Jai: meh thumhe thanks kehna chatha tha…thumne joh kuch bhi aaj kiya…
Bani: it's ok Mr. Walia… Mr.Walia.
That word had so much respect in it…but made Bani sound miles away, when she was barely a few inches in front of him. Jai looked down
Bani: aapko kuch hor bhi kehna tha, Mr. Walia?
Jai looked up at her and gave a small smile
Jai: nahi…thum jao…thakgaye hogi…
He lets go of her hand and watches as her fingers slowly slide away from his own. Was it grief that he felt? He didn't know. Bani walked past him but stopped after a few steps. She turned round and put her hand up to say something, but stopped. Jai turned to face her Jai: kuch kehna tha Bani? She looked down
Bani: kuch bathe kahi nahi jathi…par samjhi jathi hai
She looked up
Bani: Dil se…
For the second time that day, their gaze met again and their eyes said everything. Bani smiled and turned round finally making her way into the washroom. as Jai watched her… a small smile playing on his lips…
Very long, so sorry if any of you guys found it boring!
