Part 23
Party
Mr. & Mrs. Jai Walia made their way down the stairs, when the media got the attention of the two lovely (best in my opinon 😉 ) couple. They were at the bottom of the stairs, when the media surrounded them, throwing out all kinds of questions.
Media: Ms.Bani Dixit, why did u disappear all of a sudden four years ago?
B: I didn't disappear all of a sudden. I just went America.
Media: What was the reason?
J: That is none of your business as to why Bani went to America for four years.
Media: Is it true that your divorce four years ago, was the reason for your seperation.
J: Like I said, there is personal reason as to why she went to America
B: And NO, our divorce was not the reason.
Media: Are you still divorced?
J: No, we are not divorced. Infact, we were never divorced. Bani looked at jai with plain surprise.
Media: Is it true that you are both are competitors?
B: Not any more. Dixit group of Industries and the Walia group of industries are no longer competitors, we are infact, partners.
Media: What was …..
J: Excuse me. And with that Jai and Bani leave to go into the party.
Ria: BANI!!!!!!!! Bani turned around to see her best friend standing there with a huge smile. Bani went and hugged Ria.
Bani: Ria? What are u doing here?
R: Well, it has been one year since I saw u. and anyway, the Mt.Abu project finished. You dream had been fulfilled.
Bani: I no. And I got back all my happiness. I got back everything.
Ria was happy to see her friend happy: You look very happy today.
Bani: I AM Happy. You won't believe what happened during the past year. I am so glad you came. There is a lot to tell you.
Ria: And there is a lot to ask you.
Rano: Didi…
Bani: Oh Rano. Rano, this is Ria, my BEST friend and Ria, this is Rano, my younger sister. Ria looked a little confused and surprised about Bani's sister, but all the same, she shook her best friend's sister's hand with a wide smile. The rest of the party went well. Bani introduced Ria to everyone in the family. More and More questions kept popping up in Ria's mind whenever Bani introduced her to someone. Near the end, the media wanted some photos.
Media: Mrs. Walia, can we have some pics of you and Mr.Walia. Ria was stumped at that. What does the guy mean with MRS.WALIA? She was was even more stumped when both, Jai and Bani took pics together. When the party ended, Ria dragged Bani outside into the maintained garden.
Ria: Bani, what the HELL is happening? I never knew you had a family? And most of all, Why is everyone calling you MRS.WALIA? Bani knew this was coming. So she decided it was time to tell Ria the truth.
Bani: Ria, I never told you this, but Mr.Walia, is my husband.
Ria: WHAT?
Bani: Yes. Actually after my dad died, me and my two younger sisters, Rano and Pia… And Bani told ria everything about her past. By the end, Ria was surprised to know that her BEST friend, The top business woman in America, had SUCH a story.
Bani: I hid all this from you since, I myself wanted to forget all this Ria.
Ria: I can understand bani. But how can u sacrifice so much for the ones you love bani? Bani just smiled.
Bani: Anyway Ria, I was thinking to move the the main office of the Dixit group of Industries to her in mumbai, since I am staying her from now on.
Ria: But bani…
Bani: I am sure you and Sameer will take care of everything there. And anyway, whats with you and Sameer. Did u bother to tell him about ur feelings, so is ur love still one sided. Ria blushed.
Ria: I will tell him soon Bani. Bani just smiled and led Ria back to the guest room where Ria will be staying. They talk for a while and then Bani goes to her room.
I no it is lame, but plzzz don't mind.
I no there are no romantic scenes between our favourite couple, but i will try in the next part.
Till then, plzzz be free to critize my part.
