i quickly wrote part 11. so here it is. Oh and i have made a bit changes in the story. I've decided to make jai 30, instead of 35.
Part 11:
Bani heartbeat increases, and she begins to sweat. She stays in her seat, panic struck. "what am I gonna do?," she thought hopelessly to herself. "I don't want to see Vijay, and I don't want him to see me!". Bani looks back and watches pushkar and Vijay, stuck to their spots, talking and hugging. "Should I leave?….I have time to…," bani thinks to herself. She quickly gets out of her seat, and starts to walk away, but stops by a confused Tanisha.
Tanisha: Bani? Where are you going?
Bani: I'm going to the bathroom! (she quickly says)
Bani quickly runs over to the other end of the restaurant, pushes open the huge glass door, and leaves. Tanisha watches her run pass the bathroom and go outside. She gets out of her seat and is about to follow when pushkar and his friend come over to the table.
Pushkar: Tanisha, this is my friend Vijay. We go way back!
Tanisha: hi, Vijay.
Vijay: hello.
Pushkar notices that bani isn't around and looks all over the restaurant.
Pushkar: Tanisha, where's bani?
Tanisha: She just left.
Vijay: wait, bani?
Pushkar: (ignores Vijay) why'd she leave?!
Tanisha: I don't know. She told me that she was going to the bathroom, but she just left the restaurant.
Pushkar: wonder why she did that?
Vijay becomes confused and is in deep thoughts. "Bani was here? My bani?…no, they might be talking about someone else…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Bani walks down the hot sidewalk, relieved.
Bani: that was a close one. (she says to herself)
She checks her watch, and sees that it's time to go back to the office. Bani searches the streets for a rickshaw, but sees none. She can't go back to Tanisha, because Vijay is with her. Bani looks around and sees a bench, near a store, so she sits on it and waits to see for a rickshaw. Bani's attention wanders to the sky, she watches the white puffy clouds turn slowly into gray angry clouds. After a minute or so, it's starts drizzling rain. "no worries, it isn't raining that much," bani says to herself. Another minute goes by, and it starts pouring rain. Bani squeals and quickly gets off the bench and runs to shelter. Bani's clothes and hair are mostly wet. Feeling cold, bani rubs her hands against her bare arms, trying to make them warm.

Jai is driving his white Mercedes, on his way home to meet his Mausi, who has just arrived. You can tell that Jai is excited. (there is going to be a little change in the story, I have decided to make jai younger. So he is going to be 30 instead of 35.) He is going to meet his mausi, who is like his mother to him, after the longest time. The last time he had seen her, was at the airport, dropping her off. Jai was 25, then. It's been 5 years since he had last seen her, but it feels like a century. Mausi is the only one who jai loves with all his heart. After jai's mother and father died from a car accident, when he was 12, Mausi took care of him and gave motherly love to him. If mausi didn't take him in, who knows what would have happened to him.
Jai looks through his window, looking at the heavy rain pouring down. As he looks out of the window, he sees someone familiar, and a huge smile emerges on his handsome face.
~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
Bani begins shivering and continues to look out on the streets for any rickshaws going by. There are none in sight, but a white Mercedes with tinted black windows pulls over to the side, near bani. She continues to watch the car park right in front of her. The engine turns off, and the driver's door opens. Bani's heart flips, when she sees who the driver is. She begins smiling at him. Jai walks over to bani, with an umbrella.
Bani: you have no idea, how glad I am to see you.
Jai: what are you doing out here?
Bani: Trying to get back to work.
Jai: here, come with me.
Jai brings the umbrella over bani's head, and they both walk over to his car. He seats bani in first and then gets into his seat.
Jai: You're soaking wet.
Bani looks at herself and sees that her suit was stuck onto her. You could also see the outline of her bra.
Bani: yeah, I know.
Jai: should I take you back to your house, so you can change?
Bani: no, it's ok. I just need to get back to work.
Jai: you're going to get a cold, bani. No, I'll take you back to your house.
Jai starts the engine, makes a U-turn to take bani home.
Jai: so, what were you doing outside of the office, in the first place?
Bani: well, it was lunch break so Tanisha, Pushkar, and I went out to eat.
Jai: well, then why didn't you go back with one of them?
Bani: well, Pushkar invited another one of his friends, and it turns out that his friend was Vijay.
Jai: oh.
Bani: yeah, so I didn't want to meet him, so I just left. And now, here I am.
Jai's car stops moving.
Bani: why'd we stop.
Jai: well, bani. If you pay attention to your surroundings, we're stuck in traffic.
Bani looks in front of her, and sees a ton of cars in front of them. She puts her back against the car seats and sighs.
Bani: I'm gonna be late for work.
Jai: don't worry about it, you can have the rest of the day off.
Bani: no, I couldn't do that, it's only my first day.
Jai: So? Plus, you did a lot of work today, and I can see that you're tired.
Bani: how'd you know?
Jai: I'm the boss, I know everything.
Bani grins to herself. "maybe he was watching me…," she says hopefully to herself. Jai begins to get frustrated from the very slow traffic, and makes a turn elsewhere.
Bani: (confused) where are we going?
Jai: it's going to take forever to get you back home. I'll just take you to my house. My niece can let you borrow clothes of hers.
Bani: ..your house?
Jai: yeah, my house. Why?
Bani: …nothing. It's fine.
Jai turns the car around and drives straight ahead.

Pia walks into the Walia Group of Industries office, in search for her big sister, bani. She is wearing a nice lacy white tang top with a very cute looking short white skirt, and has her hair out, curled. In her hand, she's holding a brown paper bag. Pia looks around the office, but doesn't see bani anywhere, so she decides to ask someone. Pia goes up to the first person she sees, who is a pretty tall, handsome looking man.
Pia: um, excuse me.
Pushkar turns around and looks at pia. He puts the file that he was reading, down. He examines pia, and smiles to himself with approval.
Pushkar: you are excused.
Pia: Do you know by any chance, where I can find Bani Dixit?
Pushkar: well, first of all, why do you need to meet her? (he asks while flirting with her)
Pia: (puts her hand on her hip) because I am her sister.
Pushkar walks around pia, slowly and continues to look at her.
Pushkar: has anyone told you, that you are very beautiful? (changing the subject)
Pia: (rolls her eyes) can you just tell me where Bani Dixit is?
Pushkar: I can't believe you're bani sister!
Pia: (sighs) forget it! I'll ask someone else.
Pia turns away from pushkar and begins to walk away. She is stopped by pushkar holding her back, by holding onto her hand. She looks at him, very pissed off. Pushkar walks up to her, a little too close.
Pushkar: The last time I saw her, was at lunch. She's not here anymore
Pia: what? But, I made lunch for her. (holds up the paper brown bag to show pushkar)
Pushkar: how about I have it?
Pushkar reaches for the lunch bag, but pia moves it away from him. She glares at him and walks away towards the exit. Pushkar smiles to himself and leans against a desk. "Beautiful….", he says to himself, as he watches pia leave the building.

As bani enters jai's mansion, she comes across family pictures. Bani looks at them, while walking past them, with jai by her side. One picture catches bani's attention, and she stops in her tracks. She looks at the picture, with jai and a middle aged woman. In this picture, jai might have been in his 20's. The middle aged woman is hugging jai, affectionately. Bani smiles to herself. For some reason, the picture of jai and the woman made her feel happy inside, especially the woman. Jai walks on ahead, without noticing that bani had stopped walking and was looking at the picture with him and mausi. He looks behind, and sees that bani is at the end of the hallway. Jai walks back to her.
Jai: bani?
Bani snaps out of it and looks at jai.
Bani: hain?
Jai: come on.
Bani: oh, right. Um, jai?
Jai: yeah.
Bani: (points at the picture) whose this woman?
Jai: (smiles) you'll find out soon.
Jai leads her to the living room, where a few people are seated down. As bani and jai enter, everyone stands up. One of the people, that bani recognizes, is the woman from the picture. Jai runs to her and hugs her.
Jai: Mausi!
Mausi laughs and hugs jai back. They share a sweet moment together, and catch up with each other's lives. Jai then introduces bani to everyone.
Jai: Bani, first of all. This is my mausi. (he points to her)
Bani says her greetings and takes blessing from Mausi. Mausi is happy to see that bani is a very cultured girl.
Jai: This is aditya, my best friend. (points to him)
Bani: yes, I know him. We've me before. (shakes hands with aditya)
Adi: nice to see you again.
Jai: This is my older sister, jigyasa (points to her)
Jigs gives bani a fake smile.
Jai: and this is, anu. My niece.
Anu: nice to meet you. (shakes hands with bani)
Jai kindly requests anu to lend bani some of her clothes. Anu obeys immediately. She takes bani by her arm and takes her upstairs to her room. As bani and anu leave, mausi talks to jai about bani.
Mausi: munna, you've brought home a very beautiful girl. She's beautiful, very well cultured, and very kind. I'm starting to like her all ready.
Jai: (smiles at her) I had a feeling you were gonna say that, mausi....
hope you guys liked it! 😛
