A year later
Bani was sitting in her office brooding over a business magazine. She looked at the magazine lieing on the floor and groaned. God ! i cant take this anymore. Why can't i forget about the man? un hone jho mere sath kiya..... she shook her head in frustration. Nahin mein unhe maaf nahi kar sakhti. Why can not i controll my anger? Even after a year why the wound is still raw? She thrashed the papers on the desk and reached for the phone.
she punched Mythali's number.
'Ji bani.' Said the voice from the other end.
'Mythali...... muje...
'Gussa bahaoth aarahi hein right? thum ne magazine dekh liya hoga shayad?'
'Han mein kya karoon muje itna gussa aarahan hein ki mein yahan ka sab cheez phod doon' Bani muttered.
'Teek hein. I told you to get all your emotions and feeling out that doesn't mean you cant control your temper/ arre yaar mein thumhein bad mein phone karthi hoon meri patient aagayi hein.' Mythali disconnected the call.
'thum bi na mythali...' bani grinned ispite of her anger and placed the cell on the table.
Mythali was practicing psychology in Abudhabi (its another emirate in u ae)
Bani would never ever forget her friend. MYthali had been a true friend. She had taken Bani under her wing when she was emotionally broken from her near one's deception. God had send Mythali to Dubai on that fateful day for a doctors conference. Mythali had taken her to Abudhabi she had arranged for her stay and a secure job in a finance company and got her visa. bani did not have to look back from then. Bani was happy to live in an apartment shared by her freind and her small family.
Bani missed her younger sister RAno. She had called her and explained everything to her. Rano was no more a child. she could understand her sister. She had taken a promise from Rano not to reveal Bani's whereabouts. Bani never asked anything about Walia house nor Rano mentioned anything about them to her. they conveniently ignored mentioning Pia. Bani pushed back her thoughts and got up from her seat.she picked up the magazine from the floor and thrashed it into the paper bin. She stood staring a the bin and said aloud,'Good for you. that's your place high and mighty Walia.'
=============
Bani missed Rano terribly. she dicided to call her. Bnai came out of her cabin and walked out of the building Punching Rano's number and proceeded with out looking and went straight into the arms of her chairman David Graham. He steadied her and grinned.
'Where to my dear?' He asked.
'To make a call .' she said waving her cell. She was close to the chair man. He was a fine man and he had good rapport with his employees.
"Go ahead Ms. Dixit.' he stepped aside giving her way. Bani gave him a smile and moved a head.
she punched Rano's number and twice it got disconnected. Bani looked at her phone and thouht Rano ne meri phone bar bar kyon kat diya? she went back to her cabin and immeres in work.
=================
Rano looked at her cell phone helplessly. Rano couldn't attend her di's call. Sahil and maasi were sitting with her discussing Ranveer and Rashi. Rashi left Ranveer and went back to her house. The threesome were sympathising with Rashi. "ranveer aisa kaise hogaya?', Maasi asked.
'rashi should have left long time ago'. Rano said frustrated. she excused herself and walked out to the balcony.
'Di i am sorry mene app ki phone nahi utayi. its been a long time since we have spoken on the phone and when you called i could'nt attend. she looked expectantly at the cell phone.
'Thum yahan kya kar rahi ho Rano?' sahil asked walking towards her. "aur kiska phone thum kaat rahi thi?'
woh.... mein...
"Pia ki tho nahin thi?' he asked holding her shoulder. "arre bhai baath karlona usse'.
"Nahin..' Rano turned towards him.
'Thum uske bache ko bhi dekhne nahin gayi...." He accused resting his chin on her shoulder.
'meine dekha bache ko..' Rano confessed.
"Really?' he turned her around to face him.
'Hm..... magar door se'. She said lowering her gaze.
"oh Rano thum bi na..' he smiled hugging her.
================== ==========
Bani was called into her chairmans office a week later.
Bani went in and he asked her to take seat.
"Yes sir.'
'Ms. Dixit My friend and a business associate from India will come here at 12pm Please take good care of him. I need to go to Dubai for an urgent meeting. I know you can take care in my absence.
Business man from India?' she asked her heart in her mouth. Before he could answer her the intercome buzzed. he dissmissed Bani and attended the call.
Bani left his office in a daze. Business man from Inda? Let it not be him dear God! please have mercy. She prayed.
She went and sat on her seat thinking about the meeting. She glanced at the cloack and groanred. At12pm Sharp Bani heard a knock on her door. Shreyas her assistant stuck his head. "bani he has come.' her assistant announced.
'Okay ..' she moistened her lips. Before he left she asked in a tensed voice." Shreyas .. What's his name?'
A deep male voice from the door announced.
"Jai walia from Mubai.'
Bani's fear and shock grew no bound. She stared at him wide eyed not able to breath she nodded at Shreyas in a daze.
Jai Walia walked into her office and looked at her not believing his luck. He waited and
waited for past one year for this moment. And here she was standing in flesh an blood before him. he couldn't take his eyes of her. they stared at each other couple of seconds and bani broke her gaze.
"Take your seat sir.' she said in a business like manner. her heart hammering in her chest.
he pulled the chair and sat down looking at her.
'Mr'Graham told me about you... What can i do for you?'
thum bahoth kuch karsakthi ho bani. he thought.
'Yes let's get to business.' he said.
they discussed purely business for 20 minutes. Finally he pushed back his chair and stood up. Bani got up too. he extended his hand for her. she stared at his hand and then clasped both her palms together and said,'Nmasthe.'
choona math door raho.. he recalled her yelling at Pia. A wry smile appeared at the cornor of his mouth. he left her office shutting the door. She fell on her chair and punched Mythali's number.
'Yes bani... kya hua?'
Muje bahoth gussa arahi hein Mythali aur uske sath rona bhi.' she cried.
'Rona kyon? yeh tho nai bath huina...' she joked.
'Mythali..' bani warned.
'Woh yahan aya tha' Bani said.
'Mr.Walia?' Myhtali's voice broke.
'mm'
'thum ne kya mahsoos kiya unhe dekh kar?'
muje bahoth gussa aya meine socha yahan se paper weight utah kar uske sarpar mardoon aur phir socha phone hi utakar uska sar phod dethi hoon.
Jai who had come back to get his cell from her table touched his head in reflex.
Bani lifted her eyes from the paper weight and saw Mr. Walia at the door she got up hurriedly dropping the paper weight. which fell on her feet making her wince.
the situation looked so comical Jai's lips curved into a smile.
"sorry I forgot my cell.' He said walking in and picking it up. he was at the door he paused and looked over his shoulder.
"Ab yahan se bhagne ki barein mein sochna bhi math. I'll be after you before you know it. He shut the door after him leaving Bani confused. 😊
