Part-III
Jai kept staring at Bani. He could not believe how does she know so much about me. What if she is the real Bani? What about the face? Maybe she had a........just then Pia came to tell him something and he lost the chain of his thought but Jai could not get this woman calling herself Bani out of his mind. Jai is like I am going to find everything about you even if it kills me.
Bani has left the venue and is on the way to the hotel she cannot get Rano's words out of her head it keeps echoing in her mind.
She had hurt Rano.
And Bani could see the anger, hurt and pure helplessness in Rano's eye when Bani tried to accuse her of being part of the conspiracy to kill her.
Bani decided she will meet Rano.
She told this to Pushkar and Tarun and they were like as long as u are fine with this. Pushkar told Bani that he will get Rano to Bani after that it was upto Bani how much to tell or hide?
Bani told Tarun and Pushkar she will tell Rano everything and then she will get Rano to help her. She was confident that after hearing what Jai and Pia did to her she would help Bani.
Bani reached her hotel and went to her room and saw her sons sleeping she loved them to death. They were her life and world. Without them Bani did not exist.
The next day Pushkar calls Rano. Rano is surprised to get Pushkar's call as Pushkar has not called her in the last 7 years. Pushkar tells Rano he wants to meet her and he wants her to come alone and not tell anyone where she is going?
When Rano tries to question him all Pushkar says is that Bani is alive and she wants to meet Rano.
Rano finds a big lump coming in her throat she cannot believe what Pushkar just told her and all she says she will be there.
Pushkar makes her promise that if she tells anyone then Bani will be gone forever. Rano says not to worry she will be there.
Rano reaches the hotel at a resonable time and cannot believe that her sister is alive, tears are coming in her eyes. How she has lived these 7 years only Rano knows?
Rano has remained with a guilt inside her that she has not been able to do anything to help her sister Bani. Well now was her chance.
She literally ran to Pushkar and asked him where her Di was and Pushkar told her the room number where Bani was staying. He also told her that Bani has changed a lot so be prepared for a shock. Rano looked confused but ran to the elevators. Bani was on the 10th floor in Room 1015.
The elevator kept jumping floor to floor and so did Rano's heart. She had so many things going in her mind. It was a complete jam. Finally the elevators reached to 10th floor. In a matter of few minutes she found herself standing at the doorsteps of her sister Bani's room. She was a moment away to see her sister.
Rano knocked the door and someone opened the door for her it was none other than Bani.
Rano was shocked to see this woman and asked her is this somekind of joke. Bani tells Rano that her life became a joke when she found herself running from her husband and her own sister Pia as they were trying to kill her.
Rano is completely confused she is in two minds whether to believe this woman who is claiming to be my sister Bani.
Bani can understand Rano's trauma and then she tells Rano about their childhood details, about Pia leaving Jai at the altar and other things Rano cannot believe that the woman standing in front of her is her sister.
She runs and hugs Bani and both Rano-Bani have a tearful reunion.
Rano asks Bani- Where were u all this time and why this face change?
Bani tells Rano - She has been in the US for last 7 years building her empire. And the face change is courtesy her sister and her husband Jai Walia.
Rano is like - What are u talking about? What happened di was a accident? That gun went off accidentally neither Mr. Walia or Pia wanted to hurt u in anyway.
Bani is like - That is what I thought. Until someone kidnapped me from the hospital and left me to die in the jungle.
Rano just sprang up and said- What are u saying? This cannot be true.
Bani keeps her hand on Rano and tells her- The bullet did not do that much damage. I had lost a lot of blood but was fine. Then all of a sudden I found four men into my room. They spoke with the doctor and gave him some money and the next thing I know is that I was being taken in a car.
I was under heavy sedatives so I was coming in and out of consciousness all the time. Next I remember is that I am sitting alone in the car and have been tied up and the car is going at a rapid speed towards the cliff. I try to free myself but I am unable to. I do not how Rano but the car managed to miss the cliff and went into a ditch nearby.
Then the car caught fire and I was trying to get out of the car but I was unable to do so. The last thing I saw was Pia and Mr. Walia smiling and waving me goodbye with their arms over each other. And that was the last memory I have of my darling husband and loving sister.
Next I know is that Pushkar saved me and when Tarun came to know what had happened he decided to break all ties with Jai Walia.
Then I was flown to USA since I had suffered 30% burns but the problem was that half my face had burned, part of my arms and most of my right hand side body still has scares that remind me everyday what Jai Walia and Pia did to me.
Rano is in a state of shock. She is thinking how is this possible when Mr. Walia after Di death was.........
Her thoughts break for a moment as she comes back to what Bani was telling her. Bani continues that- The doctors in America gave her a choice a new face or her old face.
She asked for a new face and that is what she got. She told Rano how Tarun helped her during her intial business set-up and through her pregnancies before the twins were born.
Rano looks at Bani still trying to digest everything what Bani was telling her. She was stunned to hear that Bani was pregnant and she asked how did her pregnancy survive with the accident and the damage she had on her body? Bani said I do not know probably God thought to shower some kindness my way.
Frankly to this day, I do not understand how I did not have a miscarriage?
Bani continues- She is like I have set this business up for my children and too take revenge on Jai-Pia.
Rano hugs her again she says she does not have words to even compare to the pain and suffering that Bani had to go through. Rano curses herself for not being there for Bani when she needed her the most.
Rano tells Bani- I believe everything u say. I think Pia can do anything. But Mr. Walia being there at the accident site is not possible Di? Are u sure u saw him?
Bani is like - I saw him there and I know it was him.
But Bani knew what she wanted to know. She believed what she wanted to believe. But Bani did not know a lot of things and Rano was about to surprise Bani with those facts.
Rano is like - Then Di u r mistaken because Mr. Walia was in a state of shock for almost two weeks after ur death and do u know that he has tried to commit suicide at least 7 times to get rid of his life because he could not spend it with you.
Bani has stunned silence tears come from her eyes. She cannot believe what she is hearing, it cannot be true. Jai Walia was not guilty then who is it?
Rano comes to Bani and tells her that she will help her at all cost but she has to promise one thing that she will confide in Jai Walia.
Bani is like no way.
Rano is the only way we will come to know the truth about what happened with you if u tell Mr. Walia everything?
Just as Bani is contemplating Rano's suggestion the twins come running to Bani and are wondering who Rano is? After Bani tells them she is their Massi the twins run and hug Rano and Rano is delighted to meet the twins.
Then they demand chocolate from Rano and Rano is I will give u and they are like we want it now. She is fine. She goes to the hotel mini-bar and gets chocolate for them. They are like we do not like this flavour go get a new one. Rano is di.........
Bani is smiling and telling Rano u and ur nephews u deal with them I do not even want to know what happens betwen the three of u?
And Rano and the twins play for sometime.
Then Doris comes and takes the twins for lunch they hug Rano and Bani and runaway happy.
Bani is like Rano I have made a decision I will confess to Mr. Walia everything but first I want to go to the Walia House.
Rano is like- On what pretext will u go there?
Bani is like- U will know.
Rano is like - Let me reach Walia House and then I will call u.
Bani gives Rano her mobile number.
After Rano reaches the Walia House Bani comes to the Walia House after sometime.
Tony sees her and Bani says- Tony how r u?
Tony is stunned he has never seen her but she knows him and he lets her walk in.
Aditya, Massi, Dadi, Jiggs, Ranveer, Saahil, Pia, Jai and Rano are sitting when Bani walks in.
Jai is stunned to see her here.
Bani looks at the Walia family and asks every person by name how they are?
Then she asks them personal things which know but a family member could know.
This leaves the Walia family stunned and stumped to no end.
With that Bani takes a seat.
Nobody has spoken a word here.
Finally Jai speaks- What do u want?
Bani is like- U will know in good time. What u do not offer guest any tea or coffee?
The entire family is wondering who she is?
Jai tells them - She is Bani Dixit- from the USA who has signed a important business deal with the Walia group of Industreis.
The name sends chills down the Walia family.
Tony comes to ask her what she wants and Bani tells her she wants her usual the lemon tea.
And that stuns Tony and the entire Walia family.
