Jai stopped in his track staring at her. She was standing wearing a blouse and skirt clutching the saree to her chest.
Finding his voice he said, 'sorry wo … meine.' He looked away.
Bani didn't know what to do, she grabbed her dress and walked towards the bathroom. In their haste to give way they both collided and the sari dropped on the floor. Bani cursed her state and moved Jai again stepping on the same path. Jai muttered under his breath. He stood on his track waiting for her to cross him. She stepped aside clutching her dress in hand and looking for the sari that had fallen on the ground. She bent and picked it up and tossed aside. Hurriedly got inside the bathroom and shut the door. Jai picked up the crumbled sari and put it on the chair and went out of the room.
Bani noticed the sari on the chair she folded and kept it in the cupboard they both shared.
Bani helped maasi and Tony to set the table for dinner. The family had gathered around the table discussing about Jai's business abroad. Bani was surprised to hear about his departure. Where was Mr. Walia going? She thought. She was unaware of the things happening in this house hold. Bani heard him giving answers to their questions. He was giving answers to every member who had put one or two questions at him. Bani was quite as usual. And her facial expressions did not betray her inner feelings. It did bother her that he was going away. Then she corrected herself. Why should it bother? Any ways they are getting their marriage annulled. She would have been out of here long before if it was not for maasi who had stayed back. Bani tossed her food again in the plate.
'Kyon maami…… aap ke pet mein butterflies tho hogi hi aap tho mama ke sath London jho ja rahee ho?'
Annu teased.
Bani forced a smile. Jigyasa smirked. Jai looked at Bani. He hadn't told her about it. When he had mentioned it in the morning she was lost in her own world. Every one had questions for him not her. She had never asked anything to him nor did he give her any chance for such situation. She stayed back for maasi and he was grateful but what was he going to do about her now? He respected her for the love and concern for her sisters. She was in this situation because of her sister Pia. He gritted his teeth at the thought of her. For once he thanked god for getting her rid of his life. She was not worth his love or respect. What about Bani? This had been pondering in his mind ever since he had seen her in his room lost in thoughts. He had insulted her many times in these past few months and she had been quiet, but now he feared. Something wass going on around in her mind and he knew that was not good.
Bani was in their room when he had come to bed. She was grumbling about something while pulling her thin bed out from under the cot. She heard him in the room and ignored him. Mumbling again she made her bed threw the pillow and pulled a sheet over her. He watched for a moment and asked much to his astonishment,
'What are you grumbling about?
She was surprised yet again. 'kuch nahin'.. (Nothing)
'Out with it…' he walked towards her bed and peered at her.
She sat up and stared at him.
'What?'
Looking at him for a moment she said, 'I am sick and tired of sleeping on the floor. I feel cold and wretched and my back ache..' ( I am so inspired by this scene in one of the ff's I think it was from aramana's temporary marriage. Do forgive me for this I need to take this scene a head for more parts)
She shouted unaware of her voice that had raised
He frowned.
'Mujse nahin hoga aap kuch arrangements keejiyee. Agar kuch arrangements nahin hua tho mein neeche maasi ke paas jake soujaoongi.' Bani was amazed at her self. She was loosing her head and she knew it. Her p m s (post menstrual syndrome) was playing havoc with her nerves.
She didn't care what he thought. She stared at him.
Jai couldn't believe what he just heard. She was sitting and challenging him.
He liked what he saw.
'Kya karna hein…………' he asked. 'Agar thum is bed par so sakthi ho tho shouk se so jayen..'
'Nahin…… yahan . nahi… she was abrupt.
'phir?'
'Aap yahn is kamre mein ek day bed le aayiyen….. kal hi… I can't take this torture anymore.
'teek hein……' he walked to the music system and switched it on. He had a habit of listening to music during bed time. And Bani too loved the music. That was the only thing that was common with them.
An old rafi lata song played.
Aankho mein humne pyar ki sapne sajaye hein……..
LAta ji's sound was melodious but Bani was not in any mood to hear song.
'Aap please yeh gana switch of ki jiyee'
Jai scowled.
Muje yeh gana pasnad hein.. He said. Adjusting the volume.
'muje nahi…. I don't want to hear any song today and I don't like this for the record..' she was getting impossible.
'What's wrong with you?' he was getting irritated by now.
'I don't like this song and if you don't switch it off I'll scream and I don't care what explanation you give to anyone……she was on the verge of tears. Anger and frustration was making her blind.
'Alright..' he switched it off and fell on the bed wondering what had gone wrong with her. She had been quiet and coy and well behaved and here she was acting like a spoiled brat.
Bani tossed and turned in her bed tears flooding her eyes cursing her misfortune she finally drifted of to sleep.
Jai woke up in the morning and saw her curled up in the bed sheet. She looked like a child. He went to freshen up recalling her behavior last night.
Bani woke up with a pain in her neck she rubbed her neck and shoulder and got out of the bed. She folded her bed and pushed it under the cot. She went to freshen up as he walked out of the bathroom.
Bani went to get tea and paper for him. She carried tea for them placed it in front of him took her cup and walked towards the window. Her mood hasn't improved it remained the same. Her cell phone rang. Pia's number flashed and she picked it up.
"Han Pia bol..'
'Di…. She heard her sister cry on the other side.
'Bol Pia kya hua?' she had enough of Pia's antics.
'Di…….. mein thang aagayi hoon iske sath rah ke.. yeh meri type ki nahin hein di…….'
Bani was pissed of..'
'Acha! Jab thum usse pyar karthi thi tho thum hein pata nahi chala ki who thumhari type ki nahin thi?'..
(Didn't u not know that he wasn't ur type when you were in love)
She raised her voice.
Jai stopped drinking tea and looked at her.
'Di….. Pia whimpered.
'Muje kuch nahin sunna Pia yeh thum pati patni ki aaps ka mamla hein dono beitke bath karo..'
(this is between a husband and wife sit down and sort out the problems)
'pia take your responsibilities for once for God sake I don't want to hear about this issue any more.' She disconnected the call. Pia tried calling repeatedly Bani ignored her call and then switched of her cell.
'Good girl thought Jai. A slow smile appeared at his lips.
Bani came around put her cup and opened the cupboard and took out his dress and laid it on the bed.
'come down for breakfast Mr.Walia.'
'Bani….'
She turned her head from the door.
'thum yeh sab kyon kar rahi ho? I can manage with my cloths.'
"Oh! I am sorry .. aadat se majboor thi mein… aainda nahin hoga… why pretend when we are alone right?
With that she left the room.
'Oh! Damn.. why is she so annoyed? Is ko kya hogaya hein?.... oh well…. Why do I care?
