Jai tossed and turned on the bed. Why would she ask for an explanation? Who mera koun hein?
But why do I feel so… Bas Jai zyada math sochna he warned himself.
Bani was up in the morning with a bad head ache and a sour mood. She bought him tea and paper as usual not bothering to speak to him went down stairs immediately. She was quiet the whole day. Jai tried to speak to her but she ignored him.
He came early from the office.
She spent most of her day downstairs with maasi and daadi asking about their childhood days and youth. She didn't want to see his face she was angry. She made herself understand that she didn't care but her heart refused to believe her.
Jai paced up and down in his room. He knew she was angry with him and he didn't care but……
Bani came into the room made her bed. Closed her eyes for prayer and switched of the light.
He watched her from his bed.
Like usual in the morning she bought him his and paper. She was aware of his eyes following her.
'Bani…..' he called her much to his own annoyance
She turned and faced him.
'thum bath kyon nahi kar rahi…."he asked studying her face.
'Kehne keliye koi khas bath nahin hein…' she muttered.
'thum mujse naraz tho nahin…..?'
As if you care? She thought.
'Nahin….' She was surprised at her lie or rather by the question.
'tho phir thum itni khamosh kyon ho?'
She didn't have any answers.
He took a deep sigh and said, ' I am sure Bani that you are angry about that party and Roshni. BAni …. Lekin thum jo samj rahi ho who..
'mein kuch nahin samaj rahi Mr. Walia. Who thum dodno ka problem hein leik ab logon ke samne mein aap ki patni hoon. Nuje is thara aap humiliate math keejiye logn ke samne….'it's a request. She blinked away the tear that threatened to fall. She stormed out of the room not giving him chance to defend.
Why does it bother me so much? He thought pacing the room. What does she think about me that I am some kind of a womanizer? He thought about Roshni and gritted his teeth. He needed to clear her misconception about him. He walked out of the room to find BAni and clear the misunderstanding. He went to the kitchen. Tony saw him and Asked, 'sir.. app ko kuch chahiyein?'
'NAhi.. BAni…'
'Who BAni madam tho daadi ke kamre mein hein.
He walked towards daadi's room. He stopped at the door hearing laughter from inside the door was ajar he pushed the door a little and peered inside. maasi was sitting on the bed with Daadi and BAni was massaging Daadi's feet. She was smiling at something about the old woman had said.
'phir mein use kaha…' dadi said looking at Bani.
'Kyonji? BAni asked.
'Hanji….' Dadi replied shyly.
Maasi laughed.
'phir kya hua dadi?
'phir unhone muje dekha aur kaha….' Dadi was lost in her thoughts. BAni eyed maasi.
Bani's attention fell on the door. 'Mr.Walia…
'Munna… aaona beta… beeji apni prem kahani bata rahi thi..' maasi invited him in.
'han.. who mein…he looked at BAni. "meri kapade nahin milrahein…'he said keeping a straight face.
'lekin meine tho who list… BAni was up from the bed frowning.
'thum aake zara dekhna…' he turned from the door.expecting her to follow him.
'Jao beta…' maasi said looking at Bani.
Kya kapda? ise tho sab patha hein … she thought.
She followed him out the door to their room.
Once, in their room. Jai shut the door turning to her.
"Bani thum beito muje thumse kuch kahanahein.' He was serious.
'Kya MR.Walia? she looked anxiously at him.
'muje party ke barein mein hi kehna hein….'
'MUje nahin sunna MR.Walia…. jo hogaya so hogaya muje bata ne se kya fayda?'
His anger was bubbling to its boiling point.
'thum chup chap beito aur mein mein jo kaharaha hoon suno..'
She looked at him wide eyed.
'Mere aur Roshni ke beech mein kuch nahin hein jot hum samj rahi ho… she was my past and I have nothing to do with it now. I have no intention to have her back in my life.' He stopped and looked at her anxiously.
She looked unconvinced.
'meine thum se wahan rukne keliye kaha tha BAni thum hi wahanse ut kar chali gayi..'
He looked expectantly at her to say something.
She made faces sitting down.
'kya?' he almost shouted.
'mein kuch kahoon?' she asked.
'kaho…'
'thank you.' She cleared her throat. ' meine aap logonse wah beit kar bath liptane keliye kahatha… naa ki room mein jaa ke gale laganekeliyee.
He had to strain his ears to hear the latter.
He grinned looking at her.
'Bani..' he called her softly and sat beside her.
'I didn't go to the room to hug her Bani… ' he laughed saying it.
'Roshni is very determined. She wanted us to talk in private. I thought for once and for all let me get the things in her head that I have no interest in her. I am not a womanizer BAni. Being a man its very embarrassing to tell you that she came on to me. And there you were precisely at the door looking ready to kill.' He looked at her. Her face had softened and a smile appeared.
'you do believe me..'
'mmm..
Their eyes met for a moment and she looked away getting up.
'aap break fast ke liye neeche aajana.' She said pausing at the door.
Jai looked at her leave the room and he felt a lead weight lift from his chest.
Kanchan called BAni the next day and told her about the designs she had received. She had asked BAni to send few more . kanchan was impressed with her designs. Bani send the rest of her sketches through speed post.
Few days passed
BAni helped Tony in the kitchen with few of her favorite dishes. Jai was at home working in his study on a project. He had called his secretary and fixed on of his meetings in the afternoon.
BAni were getting out of the kitchen. She spotted Roshni walk hurriedly upstairs to Jai's study.
BAni stopped to think for a moment. She walked towards the phone and punched a number.
Jai hid his annoyance and asked Roshni to take seat. His phone buzzed he picked it up. His frown deepened as his home number flashed on the screen.
'hello'
'Mr.Walia….' he heared Bani's soft voice on the other end.
Why the hell was she talking on the phone when he was at home? He thought.
'Mr.Walia… mein hoon Bani..'
'Han..'
'kya aap ke paas Roshni ji beite hein…'
'hm..' he threw a glance at Roshni whose attention was diverted to the pen on the table.
'Joh aap ne mujse kahan wo bilkul sach heina…' she asked hesitantly.
He was quiet for a moment. What the hell was she getting at?
'Han..'
'do you want to get rid of her Mr.Walia?' she was blunt.
'Kya?'
'Do you want to get rid of her?' she repeated the question slowly.
He stood thinking for a while and said, 'han..'
'Acha tho phir aap dekhiye…..' she disconnected the call.
Her eyes twinkled mischeviuosly. Taking a deep breath she strode upstairs opened his study door ignoring Roshni she said breath less, ' aap ko meine kahan kahan nahin doonda.. woh aapki surprise gift is very beautiful Jai. Thank you.' She winked at much stunned Jai. And went round his chair and put her arms around his shoulder. And pretending to have seen Roshni for the first time she said, 'oops! Roshni ji aap? Aap kab aye?'
'yeh kya hein BAni?' roshni flared. 'is tharah koi kisi ke kamre mein bhina knock kiye athe hein?'
'Excuse me? Bani straightened. 'kisi aur ka karma? Yeh tho meri pati ki study hein.. pati patni ke beech kya formalities Roshni ji…. Meine teek kahan na Jai…. She turned her attention to him. Keeping her arms around him which in turn infuriated Roshni.
Jai looked stunned. He nodded his head after a while.
'Kya aap ko Pata tha ki Roshni ji aaj aarahi hein Jai? Bani asked again.
He nodded again.
'I didn't think I needed to announce my visits to jai. She gritted her teeth.
Aap koun hein inki Roshni ji.. hogi aap ki dosti vostii pehele.. rehne do woh sab… she concluded. Eyeing Roshni.
Roshni was bubbling with rage.
'thum dono ki beech mein kya hei woh muje pata hein…' Roshni seethed.
'Kya hein humare beech mein?' Bani challenged.
Thum dono tho…
'kya humdono? Aap ko kuch bhi nahi pata..' bani smiled.
The next move Bani made shocked the three of them.
She bent her head and kissed Jai on his cheek.
Time stood still.
Roshni's jaw dropped opened.
Jai hadn't expected what was coming he turned his face towards BAni who blushed furiously. Their eyes met and he stared at her not taking his eyes of her face.
The sound of the chair pushing backwards broke the spell they were in. Roshni stormed out of the room. BAni slowly pulled her hand away from his shoulder not meeting his eyes. She took a step backward.
'Bani….' He called her softly. She looked at him and her face turned red with embarrassment. His cheek was stained with her lipstick.
'Aap ke gal.. pe.. woh….. lipstick ke nishan..' she stammered.
Jai' hand automatically touched his cheek. He rubbed the spot with his thump and looked at his thump.
'han..' he nodded.
She wished the earth to open and swallow her at that instant. She cleared her throat and tried to speak. 'woh … meine….' Not able to put the word correctly, she turned her back and ran from the room. In her haste she knocked her head on the door frame. She winced in pain.
'BAni.. kya thum teek hona….. he took a step hurriedly.
Before he could reach her she ran as fast her feet could take her.
Jai was overwhelmed at the turn of events. He hadn't expected a kiss from BAni. He touched his cheek at the thought of it.
A smile appeared on his lips. 😃
