Adi What a relief. So what is the girls address.
Tarun: Oh Oh Actually I have only the younger two girls address
Adi: what and you call that good news I hope you haven't forgotten we are looking for the eldest one Bani.
Tarun: Listen Adi the detective said the Eldest one is not currently in the country.
Adi: What this better be good or Jai is going blow his top off.
Tarun: listen the youngest is in 12th grade at Carmel convent. The middle one pia is in St. Martins 2nd semester for a bachelors program. I have got details about their hostel phone numbers etc. We have to get to Bani through these two girls.
Adi: Let Jai come then. Wait my kids go to the same college. May be I shall just go talk to the dean myself.
Tarun: I shall go see Rano. Hope they will give the details.
Adi: Why don't you go with your father as he is the legal advisor?
Tarun: Good Idea.
Sahil, Anu and Nachiketh were going to get into the car.
Adi: Nachiketh I will drive the kids to college today.
Sahil and Anu: What? Why?
Adi: Any problem.
Sahil anu and Nachi: No its just that you never drop us
Adi I have something to discuss with your dean
Nachiketh: Uncle why don't I drive all of you Sitting at home Its boring.
Adi o.k
Adi: (After a short drive) Do you know a girl by the name of Pia. Nachiketh all of a sudden pressed the break.
Adi: What happened?
Nachiketh: After a bit of hesitation…..There..was a cat… in front.
Adi: Oh go easy on the breaks will you I would like to live a little more. So were was I Ah Pia
Anu: Slowly I guess we have met but she is not in our same class.
Adi: fine its o.k.. Nachi you please wait here I will be back in a few minutes.
Once adi goes to the deans office Nachi, Pushkar, Anu, Sahil group together and is after Pushkar's life
Nachi: This better be good why uncle is enquiring about Pia hope she has not complained to the dean. What have you done now?
Pushkar: guys relax I never got in touch with her after that incident. That was two months ago. This has to be something different.
Sahil: Don't look at me guys. I have seen her only once or twice.
Nachi: From yesterday onwards Tarun and adi uncle have been acting mysteriously and Bahi also didn't come home after the foreign trip.
Pushkar: what has this got to do with them.
Sahil come on guys she is only 18.
Anu: You men have a one track mind.
The four of them wait outside the dean's room behind a bush, they bunk the first hour. After a while they see Pia come. They try to hear the conversation but can't make out just few names that don't make sense to them.
(The conversation that happens in the room just a short one at first Pia was doubtful but when the dean cleared her doubts then only she was willing to talk to Adi)
Adi: I am from the Walia industries. I don't know if you have heard about us.
Pia: quite shocked. Of course I have heard about them. But I thought someone had come to see me.
Adi: Yes that is me. We would like to talk to bani regarding your Dixit's business.
Pia : I think there is some mistake here because our father is no more and we only have a trust fund also our guardian is no more.
Adi: Actually you do have guardian. He sent me here.
Pia: What but he has never come to see us after baba died.
Adi: The current guardian would like to meet bani. So if you could give the contact details to us.
Pia: She is in Paris)
Adi: Comes out of the office and calls from there little does he know the four are just right behind him.
Adi: Hello Jai. Got the girl's address. She is in Paris. Her number also. Do you want me to talk to her for you or shall I talk to her. By the way she will be in India only after two months.
Jai: I can't wait that long.
Adi: I know you want to see her quickly and talk to her but your impatience can affect the relationship you are trying to build up here.
Jai: What I don't want a relationship with her. I just want the business back.
Adi: Oh ya you think it is so easy. She will give up everything at your bidding. If you are going to take that cave man tactics now itself I can say that this is heading for a disaster.
Jai: You are saying I should have a real plan of action. She is 21 and for God sake she is an artist what interest in business she will have. (somewhat trying to convince himself)
Adi: Yes Jai. We will sit and discuss with a tarun on how to approach her. You just going there it will be a big screw up.
Jai: Adi come on you are talking to Jai Walia whom woman fall at his feet left and right,
Adi: This is not some woman. You want her there is a difference.
Jai Ok. Come along then.
Sahil, anu, Pushkar and Nachiketh are zapped Maamaji and laki, bahi and ladki.
Nachiketh: I don't beilve this. My bahi is actually going after a girl. This is really something to watch out for.
Sahil: Mamaji and deals I can understand but mamji and a girl.
Anu: this is going to be the news of the century.
Pushkar : Well I am sure there is going to be fire works by the way Adi uncle is talking.
(Slowly they here Adi calling Nachiketh, by then nachiketh runs towards the car. Adi getting irritated where were you just went to meet some old friend in the college.).
Adi: now take me to the office and send the dirver with the car once you reach home.
Nachiketh: by the way uncle why did you want to see the Dean?
Adi: We wanted to know the details about someone.
Nachiketh: Pia.
Adi: No someone related to her that's it and please keep this to yourself.
( meantime tarun met up with Ranu the sisters were apprehensive first in allowing to fix up a meeting with her because Mr., kapoor was there and gave them details about the guardian ship they allowed to see her. Rano was confused as she knew her baba was no more then who has come to see me. She meets with Tarun and his father and is very happy that she got to meet her baba's friend. She enquired to Mr. Kapoor will he come to visit her just like baba did. Mr. Kapoor said definitely may be all three of you could come and visit me in Bombay. Tarun was shocked hearing his father's reply but didn't comment on it)
Later in the office
Jai: So guys all set to go to Paris.
Tarun and Adi: What Hold there
Jai: You said we have to have a plan. So I m telling you the plan we meet her in Paris informing her that Iam her guardian and that there are some buisnees issues which has to be cleared and she will have to come with us or she gives us a the power of attorney to make decisions in her absence.
Adi: Good plan if she doesn't have mind of her own. I just met Pia and by the looks of it you are going to come with something better than that.
Tarun: You will not belive the little one asked if my father would come and visit her. You know my father then extended a visit to his own house for the three girls.
Jai: I really want to meet these girls. It seems they have an affect on all the men they have come in touch.
Adi and Tarun what are you implying here.
Jai: Don't get me wrong it seems that you are really sounding to be big Supporters of the girls. To night we fly to Paris I have asked the Secatry to book us rooms at the Ritz
(ani is doing her arts course At Wells College. They have overnight programs which takes them to places in Paris. So when Jai comes to the institute he cannot see her but leaves a message for her to call him at the Ritz when she is back. She has trips to
Chartres, Vaux le Vicomte, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Normandy. )
After two days Jai is getting really restless. reads his fathers diary and is very curious about the girl whom his father loved so much. Rather it was jealousy.
Meanwhile Bani comes to know she has so many messages waiting to answered. She thinks it must be Rano and Pia not bothering to look at them.
Completely exhausted she comes and falls on the bed.
Meanwhile Jai has really lost his cool and Callsthe College comes to know that she is back last evening. It is almost after noon and she has not bothered to call. God I have to literally drag her I guess.
Meanwhile Bani was busy as she had to report about the museum visits and present her paper if she fnished her project earlier she could leave early so that she can meet her sisters.
Jai Reaches the college and enquires at the office where he is guided to an art studio. We have our bani sitting on the stool in front of the canvas looking out with brush in her hand and she has made a loose French knot of her hair with strands coming out. She has a floral dress which stopped right above her knee, a dangling earning bare neck just a bracelet in her hand she was barefoot. sandals were further down. She had something appealing look about her. Jai just kept looking at her from the back at her movements with the brush was enough to capture Jai's attention.
She hears slight foot steps thinking it is a fellow student she talks.
Bani: Please pour the coffee into the cup you should also have one. Its my favorite. Coffee with a dash of Vanilla and a spoon of caramel in it. It helps my creativity. Get me the sketches while I just give a finishing touch Which gothic style do you think would look good in presenting.
(Meanwhile Jai hands her coffee with out looking back just stretches her hand and takes it. Jai just keeps looking at her drawings.
Bani:you are blocking the light.
Jai: By her sudden outburst knocks off the paint on to one of the sketches. and it ruins his shirt also.
Bani you ruined my mornings work. By the way who are you? This is a private studio visitors are not allowed here better move out or I will call the security.
Jai: Is this the same sweet girl my father was talking about.
Bani:Clicks her finger. Hey handsome earth to. I thought only artists were dreamers. When did men in business suits become dreamers?
Jai: I Had left messages for you to call me when you came back. Why hadn't you called at my hotel.
Bani: Excuse me. Have we met before. (Paris was strange but this was the weirdest person she has met)
Jai: No
Bani: You expect me to call you at your hotel. Are you nuts and how did you enter here.
Jai: I got permission from the Dean.
Bani: So you are …………
Jai: What?
Bani: If you are not familiar with common courtesy Let me introduce you Iam Bani I am a student at the Wells college doing a summer course in paintings of various era's. So you are.
Jai: Oh god How Did the meeting turn into such a catastrophe.
Bani: If you are not going to say who you are might as well leave I have work to do while you seem to be on a vacation mode.
Jai: That did it. He just blurted out Iam Jai Walia your Gurdian and I am not just anyone who left the message for you. You are my ward. Did I make myself clear.
Bani was shocked to the core
