What a fab performance by Ram PART VI - Page 202

Thanks for continuing with your FF. Great job and liked the disclaimer.
JW must already have done his research on ND before this incident thro, Mohan's brother. Just by fluke, she got in touch with the right lawyers. This is the first time he has literally bought her over, she owes him 30 lakhs. After the separation, he does the same to get her back home. Old habits die hard.
Gives insight into her feeling for her family, the way she defends her dad inspite of his hand in the crime, and his utter dislike for them. Entrapment. He laid the bait?? or just bailed her out? I am dense here.
Good he stopped her hand from swinging. Warna ek usko bhi milega retaliation mein. Nahin toh absay husband bashing shuru hoga. Looking forward to the next part. Poor girl, no wining dining seedha contract marriage. Kia socha tha JW neh and kia karna pehra. Kudos 👏

Now that I have effectively killed and celebrated the death of Kekta's JW, I am back on a roll, as Soap wud say......... here u go girls, the next part
I may be off the rest of the day, may write later in the evening when I am home

Enjoy Fall!!

PART 42 ---1
FLASHBACK XVI (16)

The folder drops from Bani's lifeless fingers, her cellphone and her pen follow it to give it some company at the bottom of the chair, she gets stunned.......... looking at his face, his face not revealing anything, an unscrutable mask.
B:(irate and riled) WHAT? Kya kaha aapne? Shaadi? Aur aapse? You are crazy!
JW: No I am not Bani......... poori file to pehle padh lo, tum (bends down to her feet to pick it up, she is sure she felt his warm breath on her toes, making them tingle, setting her face ablaze, bringing nack memories of that breath on her face)
JW: Here! (handing it to her)
B No! I dont want to see it or read it. Mujhe maloom hai yeh aapki koi chaal hai. Mujhe shaadi nahi karni.
JW: Why? are u waitlisted at the Missionaries of Charity? (smile not reaching his eyes)
B: Shut up! I wont........... mujhe AAPSE shaadi nahi karni. I never asked you to involve yourself Mr Walia. You did. Without asking me, now do not expected ME to pay the price (calmly)
JW:Its not as simple as that Bani............
B: Is this a joke. Aapko har cheez ek mazaak lagta hai. Shaadi koi mazaak nahi hai (shrilly)
JW: Did I say it was?
B: Aap yeh soch bhi kaise sakte hain. Aapne jo Pia ke saath kiya uske baad, aap soch bhi kaise sakte hain ki main aapse shaadi karoongi. You planned all this to pay me back for what you did to Pia.
JW: Shut up Bani, dont overestimate yourself. I am just a good bizman thats all. You havent even heard the entire proposal yet..... (grabs the folder from her hand and flips to the center pages, taps his finger noisily on a paragraph)

JW: Readt it Bani!!

B reads hsakily, it says something about some land in Sindhudurg Coast, she looks up at him confused
JW: My Dad bequeathed 200 acres of real estate on Sindhudurg coast, its between Devgarh and Malvan.........perfect for a resort development. There is a glitch Bani, the property can only be transferred it to my child's name!!! (calm? taunting? riling?). Being the guardian it would allow me to develop and operate it, until he or she turns 18!

B's feels faint...... holds her head and sits down, it must be a nightmare, in fact thats what it is, when I wake up it its all going to be over, and I am going to be ready to start my new job with KPMG............JW punches his cell phone, still holding on to hers and her pen, that had fallen off her lap previously.
Help arrives in the form of Ms Singh bearing two tall frosted glass of lemonade. He offers her one. She sits there like a statue, no movement, eyes shut, wanting to wake up from her bed, in Bandra.
JW: Bani drink.......
B: Mmmm...........mmmm
JW: Stop over reacting and drink it! Goddamnit! (swears)
B opens her eyes, nervously reaches for her glass, takes a sip makes a face, and sets it back
JW: Kya hua (demanding)
B: Its not at all sweet......
He drinks his
JW: It is Bani....... stop fussing......
B: Mujhe nahi peena
Sits there sulking, waiting for the next bomb to explode, in frustration he calls Ms Singh again, she brings sugar. He stirs it in noisily, and brings the glass under her nose
JW: yeh lo!
B: Fine!!! (gulps it down in one go)
JW watching her sweep the moisture off her upper lip with her tongue)
Eyes meet and part briefly, messages, sent received, deleted by B without reading...............

JW: I have this all planned out. Take it home read it and send it back with ur signatures in a day or two (back to being the arrogant b------, effortlessly alternating between the roles of, commander-in-chief, lover, caring gentleman )
B: Aap apni arrogance aur manipulation kahin aur le jaayiye. NO!!
JW: U dont have a choice. I am offering a deal. You are an accountant, you will love it
B: Main abhi shaadi nahi kar sakti (trying to reason , upon seeing the legal threat under her nose)
Mujhe Pia ki shaadi aur rano, ne apni padhai poori nahi ki hai, I have to save............. I cant marry.
JW: What kind of a man is your father? (disgusted) He sent YOU to Mumbai to save money for something he was not man enuf to do?
B: Dont you dare. Aapko mere Papa ke baare mein aise baat kehne ka koi haq nahi hai.
JW: What the hell kind of a man is HE? (looks at Bani like she were a lab specimen) YOU CANT MARRY until he LETS YOU?
B: None of your biz!

JW: oh BTW I forgot to tell you, main tumhaare ghar gaya tha kal,
B: AAP? Aap kyon gaye MERE ghar? (storming, fiery)
JW: I went there for a deal, met Rajeev and Mohan, got this taken care of (nonchalantly pointing to the file) and went to your house. Also met your "suitor's" (does the quote unquote with his fingers mockingly, bringing more color to her face) Dad! Mr Mishra, a nice guy....... basically ur Dad took him for a ride.
B (cringes in shame) Woh........... woh....... Papa se gal........ Papa ko kisi ne behkaya hai
Silence!!

JW: And also ur Dad loves me, he told me he cudnt have wished for a better son-in-law! (smug)
B: Papa ko maloom nahi aap kaise aadmi hain. Bechaare.......... (groans)
JW: Kaisa aadmi hoon main Bani?
B: ruthless, evil, arrogant, unforgiving, vengeful...........

JW: If I were you I wouldnt be talking to my savior like that Bani
B: You are not my savior! Aap kuch bhi nahi hai mere (impassioned................ voice indicating to him that hedid mean something to her at some point)
Silence!!

JW: I met ur sister Bani (tone softens)
B: Rano se baat karne ki kya zaroorat thi aapko, aapne kya kaha Rano se (blushing, worried)
JW: Dont worry maine kaha nahi usko ki uski Didi aur mera kya rishta hai
B: Kuch nahi hai............
JW: She loves German, she wants to move to Mumbai and learn it.......... I tried some German I know. My second girlfriend was half Geman....... I struggled to sound smart in it (winks)
B doesnt want to know........... too much FYI
B: I am sure aapki har country ki ek girlfriend rahi hogi, its impossible to learn all the world languages. I agree (nasty)
JW: Esp in bed Bani when she expressed herself in German........ (throaty)
B's eyes fly to his "with such a colorful past, how dare you even expect me to tie the knot with you?" jealous, tormented..........
JW: Dont worry! no language issues for us.............. you and I will just have to let our eyes do the talking in bed.............. like we do at other times!

Thanks Adi for the triplex (is it going to be the norm in 3's that is)Was kind of expecting some sort of arm-twisting into marriage. Will do the review in a bit.

CAT

All I'm saying for now Adi is ki mera toh jeevan dhanya ho gaya! 😃 😃 😃 ND the b****** has become reality at least through your FF and God bless you for that! 😉 Thank you!!!! 😃 😃 Abhi I will do my review in a couple of days but just know for now that I read it and LOVE them all!!! JW at his manipulating best.....the much needed fix! WONDERFUL Adi! 😃

Thank you Aditee for all the 3 parts. Poor Bani is stuck between her unscrupulous dad and a brilliantly manipulative JW - there is no escape.

As always loved the punch lines in the last two parts.

Aditee,

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderfull ff. I particularly love the attention you pay to detail, be it the setting, the business details, the little physical traits....very, very good.
Thank you!

PART 42 ---ii
FLASHBACK XVII (17)

B(morose, devastated) You have been with so many women.....................
JW: U have not been with me and I have not been with you and THATS all that matters Bani (finality)
B: I cant get married to you.
JW: I only want to get married to you
Silence!!
JW: I feel I have covered everything in the contractual agreement Bani. (serious) Initially we will give it a try for two years, if we have a child and we still want each other at

the end of the two years, we'll take it from there (clinical, dispassionate)
B looks at him like he was a stranger. The man she knew from three weeks ago either buried too deep to be salvaged or completley lost, the man she saw today was a

cold calculating bizman, she has never met before.
B: It must be so easy for you to play with people's lives like this, is it not Mr Walia.
JW: lets not get too emotional Bani!
B: Its my life!! You want me to have your baby (florid) and just give her to you? (accusing, for the first time feels a lump in her throat)
JW: U dont have to part ways Bani. We cud stay married
B: Aap isko biz ki tarah dekh rahen hain? (incredulous, she looks at him like "dont you have ANY feelings?")
JW: Atleast Iam considering the prospect of us being and staying married................. (doesnt finish the sentence with "what abt YOU?")
B: Mere Papa ki ek galti ki wajah se meri poori life badal jaayegi? We dont live in teh 19th century. We dont buy and sell humans Mr Walia (reasoning?)
JW: I havent bought you Bani ("I wish I had" glint his his eyes), just bailed your Dad out!! (succint)
B hangs her head in shame.
B: Papa ne aapse kuch nahi poochha?
JW: Bani, U dont realize the value of freedom till you are faced with spending the rest of your life in prison (trite)
B: I have to pay the price for his freedom? (confused, blurts)
Doesnt realize she just inadvertently has placed the blame for the crime for the first time on her Papa.
JW: U said it Bani, i didnt!! (gotcha!)
B: Marriage is supposed to be special................ After what you did to Pia, main aapko dobaara dekhne bhi nahi chahti thi, aur ab aapse shaadi?.........
JW: I thot u were going to pursue the case? (mock-curious)
B: I am......... (shuts down her PC, looks at his hand, her cell phone still in it, looks up at him....... he hands it to her, his eyes not leaving hers)
She is still unable to diegest what she just heard............. and argued and lost..................
B: Its not a movie or a book. Meri zindagi hai. Who gets married on a mutual contract?
JW: Its mine too....... (cryptic)
She gets the message, but ignores it...........
B: Will you atleast let me arrange the money? (defeated)
JW: Absolutely!! Go ahead! (encouraging)
B: Aap mujhe kitna time denge?
JW: A week? or take two................. (thoughtful faraway look in his eyes)
JW: maasi tumse milna chahti thi, agle hafte? Not sure when she wanted you to come by before Diwali, Karwachauth waale din? (bland)
B(blushes furiously) Main us din nahi............ not on that day........... Mr Walia, meri training shuru hai agle hafte se......... new job...... (stilted)
JW: Why did you quit Bani? U didnt even bother to tell me abt it............
B: I didnt want to work for, with.... I mean I didnt want...... I wanted a change........... (lies, hence looks away)
JW: U thot I'll never find out?
B: Ummm......... Mr Ranade ne Chaitanya Goyal ko assign kiya hai, for legal consulting. Aap uske saath kaam karenge, (packs her laptop in her leather case, throws her

cell phone back in her purse, looks for things to do, so as not meet his eyes.......... empties her empty lemonade glass in her mouth, not a drop in it, sets it back, wipes the

sweat off her upper lip, he is watching all of it)
He brings his almost 3/4th full glass and offers it to her
B: No thanks! I have to go (She is not sure how much she hates the man now, she has never hated anybody more, infact he is the first human she has hated in her life!)
JW: Have mine!
B: (shrouded) No! I have to go................
JW: Do weeks mein sign karke courier kar dena, or wire transfer the money to my account, get the number from Ms Singh..............unless I see you at home next week?
B: I cant come next week!!! (shrill) Mere naye office mein already the women in my team have turned in their leave apps for "that" day. They fast............. I have to fill in......
Its just us, men and a few single unattached women.................like ME! (rubs it in)
JW: Not for too long........... I hope (tauntingly trying his best to rile her)
B: I will let you know abt the "contract" (stone cold and expressionless)
Starts walking twrds the wide cherry double doors, with gold knobs on them..............
JW: (behind her, still lounging on the desk, sipping his lemonade lazily)Bani, I e-mailed you a link to Marrakesh, Morocco. Its supoosed to be the best honeymoon

destination in the world. Take a look and let me know what you think!
She uses all her self control her body ever produced, to not turn around and fling her laptop case on his head and punch him with her balled fists........ shuts her eyes briefly

to quell the resentfulness and rage......... lets herself out with outwardly calm, shutting the door quietly behind her!!

Wow Aditi!!!.....aapne toh dil khush kar diya!.....it was great as usual....i love the way JW taunts her....i like ur JW(it helps so much that i still have this JW to fall back on 😆 )....he is cool, witty, suave and best of all, he knows wat buttons to push 😈....u made my day!!!....keep them coming hun!

Thanx Adi for yet another addictive sec. Loved the interplay....composed,cajoling,cold,yet strangely caring vs agitated,flustered, indignant..
The child clause inclusion is a masterpiece.
Try to review all sec soon.
