lekin Jai ka life kharab ho gaya...shaadi karne wala tha woh, Roshni Chopra ke saath, bahut bara industrialist ki ladki...lekin roshni ne kaha tumhara father aise the aur tum baap ke beta nehi honge iska keya guarantee ......usko chhor ke london chali gayi...

Next day after breakfast, Bani was sitting at Anu's computer, checking her mail, writing to her friends, when there is a soft knock on the door…Tony, the butler enters…yeh Jai Sir, office jate waqt apke liye diya…
Bani looks at a firm handwriting, 'Bani please meet me at the office at 3 p.m….Jai Walia'…
So after 4 days the wait is finally over, thinks Bani, excited she starts to get dressed…nothing much to choose from..green and pink being her favourite colours, she chooses her pink churidar kameez, sleeveless but decent, she has seen Pia wear, much more deep cuts
Sharp at 3 p.m Bani presents herself in front of Mrs D'Silva…I have an appointment, she smiles at her….Yes, of course, my dear, he is waiting for you…this time Mrs D'Silva, takes her to a different door, the one next to his chambers, Bani is here Jai…she announces…Bani goes in, it's a discussion room for 6 to 8 people and she is surprised to find Aditya Uncle and another gentleman with him, Jai shows Bani the seat opposite to him i.e at the other end of the table…like his chambers, this is also very beautiful furnished…simple and bright…Mary, Jai turns to Mrs D'Silva, we will be busy and please ensure nobody disturbs us, Bani will you like to have some tea / coffee…Tea please…Bani replies…o.k. Mary, send in tea for us and nobody else…what is so secretive about Bani wonders….

Bani sits straight, ready to hear what Jai Walia has in store for her. Jai looks straight to her …let me introduce with you, aditya whom you know of course and this is Tarun Sablok a very good friend of mine but he is also my lawyer, a very respectable man amongst his fellow peers…
Bani whatever we discuss in this room should remain confidential. By confidential, I mean other than we four, no fifth party should know, not even to your jija Pushkar, though he is otherwise my trusted confidant…last but not the least Bani….you may agree or disagree to whatever I say….incase you disagree, you will forget the matter…and if I am not mistaken you are an honourable person and I am sure you will maintain the confidentiality…
Bani sips her tea and looks at him…he waits for the service boy to go out of the room…clears his throat and starts….
Bani, the other day tumne puchha tha…if I sponsor you, in return what do I want from you….this is an estimated cost for studying 3 years in Harvard University…he passes a paper…Bani looks at the figures…which is broken up into tuition fees, lodging, boarding etc….Bani nods, yes, it matches hers….he waits for Bani's signal to proceed….Bani looks up…if I am not mistaken you are not willing to accept charity…
Bani: Oh Mr Walia, after my parent's death I have already got too many…mai yeh boj toh nehi kahungi…lekin yeh mere liye abh thora bhari hone laga hai…
JW: I appreciate and understand…Bani I also have a need…he looks at Bani…catches her eyes and looks directly into it…a need for an heir….he says…
Bani: Mai samjhi nehi….
JW: Tum pichle 4/5 din se ghar me ho…roz mere masi ka baate sunte ho….mera shaadi na karne se woh bahut parishaan hai...mujhe shaadi ka jaroorat abhi tak nehi hai….lekin mujhe apne waris chahiye…apna khoon….
Bani narrows her eyes: Iska mere scholarship ke saath keya sambandh hai…
JW: Mai tum se maangta hu woh waris….
