Bani stared at Pia's number for a moment. She took the call.
'Di…..' pia cried.
'han pia…' Bani sounded hoarse.
'Kya hua di… aap ki awaz…..'
Bani cleared her voice and walked to the balcony. Jai's gaze followed her.
'Mien teek hoon Pia thum batao…..'
'mein teek nahin hoon di….' Pia cried. 'mein aisi zindagi jeena nahin chahthi di….'
Bani's heart skipped a beat.. 'yeh thum kya kehrahi hoo Pia….. thum hari deemagh tho teek hein.
Jai thanked his stars for not marrying Pia. What did he see in her? He thought.
Kitna farak hein in do beheno mein…..
Bani walked into the room with a flushed face after talking to Pia for almost an hour.
Bani had to promise Pia she would go and meet her in the morning. She sat on her bed like a zombie. She tossed the phone aside and stared. A tear trickled down her cheek. Yeh sab kya horaha hein? Muje kabh chain milega?
'Koi parehsani hein…? Asked a voice from the other side of the room.
''Ji?' she looked at him.
'Kuch problems hein?'
'Mm… meri zindagi mein problems ke siva kuch bhi nahi hein..' she murmured dejected.
'how can I help?' he asked sitting down on the bed.
'no one can do anything about it MR.Walia…..muje bhi nahi pata ki mein kaise……' she stopped in mid sentence. 'aap so jaieee.. good night.' She switched off the table lamp.
Jai was up from his sleep hearing a muffled cry in the dark. He sat up and switched on the light.
He looked at her side. She looked quiet. BAni caught her breath. She was unaware of her sound. She couldn't bear the thought of Pia's marriage breaking up. She was married for hardly few months and she wants to get away from the relationship.
'Bani……'
She heard him call her name.
Bani pretended to be asleep.
'Bani muje pata hein kit hum ro rahi ho… kya bath hein?'
She heard him get out of the bed and panicked. She didn't want him to see her vulnerable and defeated.
'mein teek hoon Mr.Walia… aap so jaeeiee' came the muffled reply.
'kya hua Bani.. he asked concerned.
'kuch nahin…..' she hiccupped.
He did want to reach out to her but feared her reaction.
'tell me Bani….. thumhara mann halka hojayega..'
She heard him toss his quilt.
'I feel miserable Mr.Walia….. aap yahan math aayiyien….. I look miserable aap yahan aakar muje aur bhi……. Aap please light bandh kejiyein… muje apne hal par chod dijiyein… muje yeh sab sahne ki aadath hein…. I'll be laright in the morning.
He looked hesitantly at her. 'lekin Bani….. thum share karke tho dekho… problems apne aap kam hojayenge…….' He tried to sooth her.
'kis sse mein share karoon mr.Walia?… aapse?… kab thek mein apni problems aap se share karenge humare sath kab thak hein.? Mein jaisa hoon waise hi teek hoon…
Jai was speechless. She was damn right.. How long will she share her problems with him?
Bani was up in the morning. Her eye looked slightly swollen. She went and took cold shower. she changed into a lemon yellow chiffon sari with floral prints. She dried her hair vigorously standing in front of the mirror. She put the towel down untangled her hair.
Jai was awake he watched her reflection from the mirror. She looked like a breath of fresh air. The chain he had given her was resting around her neck. The woman before him rippled his senses. Brought smile to his lips. His heart softened at the sight of her. He wanted to get to know her. Her happiness, her fear and her pain. He wished to god he could take all the sorrow from her life if she would let him. He didn't know if it was called love but he liked her immensely.
Jai walia the business tycoon was unaware that he was falling in love with the woman standing before him.
Bani looked at the lump on her forehead. The swelling has reduced. She touched the spot recalling the way he had kissed her. If it wan't Pia's call …. She didn't want to think what would have happened.
She saw him staring at her in the mirror, her face turned pink.
She turned from the mirror and said, ' mein aap keliye chay bijwathi hoon mr.Walia…. mein Pia ke ghar ja raheehoon.'
'thum gadi leker jao…' he said getting up from the bed.
'Nahin..' came the sudden reply. 'mere liye taxi kafi hein..'
'why do I detect a stubborn refusal from you?' he asked standing behind her.
'I am not being stubborn mr.Walia…. if I take the car it will be a big inconvenience for others. Every one has to get to office…. And the third vehicle is Jigyasa aunty's.'
She is making a point he thought.
'alright then…. Stay here.. I'll drop you on the way to the office….'
'Nahin……' she was surprised at his offer of help. Here she was trying to get away from his presence he was barging in to her every thoughts.
'kya soch rahi ho?' he asked looking at her lost in thoughts.
'Nahin Mr.Walia…… meri waje se aap……. Aap ko der hojyegi office keliye.. besides I told Pia that I'll have breakfast with her.'
'no problem…… muje aaj office jaldi jana hein… I'll drop you on the wway. Pushkar's house is just 20 minutes drives from there. '
'God!!!!!! She groaned inward.
'Mr.Walia….' she called him.
'Han…..'
'Aap yeh sab kyon kar rahein hein?' she looked squarely at him.
'matlab?' he frowned.
'You know very well what I am talking about? Why are you taking unnecessary effort to drop me at Pia's house?'
You are trapped Jaai ….. Warned his inner voice.
'Because I don't want Mrs.Walia taking a cab when she has three cars at her disposal……. You are my wife whether you like it or not.. I do not want you to humiliate me in front of public taking local taxi or train. I have a status here Bani…. You get me?' he raised his voice. 'And don't keep me arguing about it because it will keep us both late..' with that he left and walked to the bathroom.
'Ithna guroor sehedh keliye achi nahin hein Mr.Walia..' she called out loudly.
Bani was silent on the way to Pia's house. She fixed her gaze on the road stubbornly.
Jai threw her a side way glance. He didn't have a clue to get her talking. She was a stubborn woman.
Bani's phone rang and she picked it up.
'han Pia… mein aarahi hoon..' she disconnected the call.
'thum Pia ke ghar kya karne ja reheeho? He asked all of a sudden.
'mein bath karne keliye jarehi hoon..'
He gave a sarcastic smile.
'mein kuch kahoon…'
'Han..'
'Don't get me wrong Bani….
She looked questioningly at him.
'As far as I know Pia she will put you in a tight spot. Don't give into her whims.
'mm' she agreed with for the first time in the morning.
'She will have to solve the problems she creates. You are not at her disposal all the time she calls.'
'lekin who meri behen hein…..'
'I know… I appreciate the concern you have for them….. don't let them believe that you are there to take their responsibility…..'
Bani nodded agreeing with him. But somewhere she felt bad.
He stopped the car near pushkar's flat.
She got out of the car thanking him.
He drove off looking at her through his rare view mirror
