Part 5
Bani and Ria are going to work!
Ria broke the silence. " Bani ashi lag rahi ho."
"Aap sach kah rahi? I don't feel comfortable in these clothes. These are more Pia's type, par mere paas western clothes nahi the. Mein hamesha salwar kammez hi pahen ti hoon."
"You look hot! Mera to kam hi aisa hai ke I have to wear a uniform, but your options are open, so take advantage of it." They arrive and go their separate ways.
Its 8:45 Bani is early she doesn't know what to do. There is a cabin next to Mr. Walia's Cabin with an adjoining door she goes in there. This must be my office she thinks. She sits in the chair and is looking around when the phone rings. Should I pick it up or should I let it ring. No one know I'm here. I should pick it up just in case. "Hello"
"Hello Bani mere cabin mein ana"
"WHAT" she says who is this!
"This is JAI WALIA, please come to my cabin."
She is so startled she drops the phone and Jai heard a loud bang. " Yes sir abhi aye." She gets up! Get a grip Bani, calm down. You work here you have to deal with this man so get used to it.
Knock, Knock
"Come in Bani", Bani walks in Jai looks up to say something and is speechless. Black heel shoes, a fitting black skirt ends just above her knees, pink sleeveless v-neck top with a tiny beaded pink & black necklace with a pink stone. His gaze moves up to notice her hair is not straight today. She has huge bouncy curls. She has light makeup with sheer lipgloss. Jai can't seem to come up with words. He keeps hearing the 1942 A Love Story Song.
Ho ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
Ek Ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
Jaise Khilta gulaab
Jaise Shaayar ka Khwaab
Jaise ujli kiran
Jaise van mein hiran
Jaise chaandni raat
Jaise naghme ke baat
Jaise mandir mein ho ek jalta diya
Ho ek ladki ko dekah to aisa laga………
Bani didn't know how to react. She was in a stand still. Ab mein karo. Should I say something. Yeh to mujhe asie ghoor rahe jaise kacha he ka jaye ge. Maybe its what I am wearing. I told Pia this wouldn't work. I should have went with Rano's clothes. Mera bhi deemak karaab tha jo mein Pia ki baaton mein agi.
"Ah, Ah, Mr. Walia, Mr. Walia….."
Reality finally set in. " Yes Bani yeh tum ne kya pehna hai?"
"Ji, mein samji nahi. Aap ne kal kaha tha aap ke office mein salwar kameez nahin pehenta, to maine yeh…….."
"Don't get me wrong, you look very nice no doubt, but agar tum aise kapde pahen ke ao gi tho mere office mine koi bhe kaam nahin karega."
"Ji Mr. Walia. It won't happen again"
"Teek hai, its nice you came on time. I came a little early myself. I notice you found your office. Bahut kaam hai aaj mujhe. Tum yeh files ko dekh lo. Or we need to send them correspondence. Everything you will need is in these files. Shall we get to work then."
Bani is walking out and Jai can't help, but look at her walk out. Just then the phone rings. "Hello Jia Walia"
"Hello Munna mein masi, aaj tum nashta kiya bina he chale gaye beta. Aaj tumare liye mein lunch lecher ayo ge. Teek hai. Bahar mat jaana. Waise bhe ghar mein koi nahin hai or es baahane mein tumara office bhe dekh lo gi."
"Teek hai Masi see you at lunch time."
That's all for now. Stay tuned for Masi's reaction to Bani.
