Chapter 3 Barsaat ka mausam hai aur bohat tez hawa chal rahi hai. Ever since this morning the rain has been pouring hard and in the city of Mumbai all the hustle-bustle stays the same as any normal day. The rain's coming down hard on the window's pane. The thunderous weather is disturbing everything except for Jai and his thoughts. As Jai watches people going on with their day disregarding the bad weather, his mood is set to one thought: Bani's hesitant reaction to the proposal.
Like the weather, Jai's mood has been gloomy and some what worried. It's been only a day since he had proposed to Bani and her reaction to it has surprised him. He didn't expect that from Bani's side. In fact he never had to deal with this kind of behavior from anyone because he had the image of a lion in front of people's eyes, which scarred his employs and caused girls to admire his tactics. He was mighty and pride of the jungle known by the name of Jai Walia. But it was the lioness Bani Dixit, who can deal with him and she was a tough nut to crack. She could always deal with his attitude and has often equally challenged him and his pride and had her way too.
It brought a smile to his face when he still remembers Bani from their first meeting. As he was walking with his drink in his hand and watching the same couple that she was watching, he didn't realize the woman in front of him when he bumped into her.
After bumping into her and ruining her dress, he was pulled towards her beauty and her innocence. When she spoke, her voice was a melody to his ears. The first words she said to him were in hindi and that too an insult. He smiled at the thought of how he had made of fool of her by pretending to be Italian but in fact he wasn't by heritage. He had played along with her that day and he didn't know why he did that because he was never that kind of person. Till date, he never knew why he felt so relaxed and cool-headed after meeting Bani, a complete stranger to him. He would've barked at her like he usually does with others.
When he had laid eyes on her for the first time, his first thoughts were beyond explanations. He saw a girl with silky black hair shinning in the bright moon-light. Her plain white dress was hugging her petite body, exposing her every curve. Her creamy legs made her want to touch her and relish the taste of its delight. Her soft skin was inviting a touch from him, which he tried hard to resist the whole night long. The intoxicating, small lips were just enough to invite others. When he moved up to her eyes, almost lost control of him self but then quickly regained it by her sweet smile. The eyes were the best part of her body, he thought. She had the most mysterious eyes in the world, in which you can drown with curiosity and which made you want to uncover the mysteries of life. One look at them and they will make you forget all your sorrows. She had a small button nose, perfect to nuzzle your nose with. Her ears were perfect to kiss on and whisper sweet nothings.
That night he has seen Bani in her relaxed state. But the next day has left him with dilemma of which one's the real Bani. He saw the two sides of Bani in two days and till date he remembers every tiny detail of those days.
Jai's Flashback: 'Oh God, I'm so late,' thought Jai. 'What happened last night that I was late this morning?' frowned Jai. 'Oh yeah, it was that Indian girl. God it was an amazing night,' smilingly Jai thought. As he enters the huge hotel building with his advisors in two and his briefcase clutching his hands, he bumps into someone again. But without looking at the person, he apologized and went past her. He took his seat across from Mittal and Company's CEO, Mr. Mittal and his trustee. He was too busy setting up his presentation that he failed to notice that a girl across the room was starring at him with shock and anger. When he finally looked up to start his presentation, his eyes fell on the girl. Yes it was the girl from last night, Bani. He was left stunned for a minute but he recovered quickly to proceed with his presentation. All the while he was giving his presentation, he was avoiding eye contact with Bani, knowing how he would not be able to concentrate and he would have the guilty yet at the same time amusing look on his face.
After he was done with his presentation, he sat down and watched others to have their chance to present for this contract. All this while he was thinking about Bani and what he was going to say to her. He stole glances with her whenever he had the chance. He thought of every possible way to talk to her but still he felt so guilty about last night. He knew that Bani had made a fool of herself by thinking the whole time that he was an Italian guy and he knew that he let her believe that too.
After 3hours or so the meeting finally came to an end awarding Walia Group of Industries with this contract. As soon as the announcement was made, Jai saw Bani leave the room in a huff and he rushed after her leaving others behind surprised and disappointed because they wanted to congratulate him.
Jai running after her: "Bani! Bani please stop!"
Jai caught up to her: "Bani please let me explain."
Bani: "What Jai? Huh? What? That how I made a fool of myself and you just enjoyed the show. Or is it that I'm a must see cartoon? Tell me Jai, how did it feel to see me making a fool out of myself last night?"
Jai: "Bani there is nothing of that sort. I don't know what came over me. I just felt so relaxed and I've never been snubbed off by anyone like that before. And I thought that I would never see you again. I…"
Bani, cutting him off: "Oh so I'm a clown to you, to whom you think telling the truth wouldn't be necessary?"
Jai, in a hurry: "Yes..." Bani starts to walk off. Jai follows: "Nahi, nahi, nahi. Mere yeh matlab nahi tha. I just didn't think that I would see you again so if truth is hidden then…"
Bani sarcastically replys: "Well Mr. I-don't-want-tell-everything knows how to speak Hindi. Bravo"
Bani walks off towards the exit and Jai follows. As Jai is following Bani in a hurry, he didn't see the carpet messed up and so he tripped and fell on the ground (sorry hima had to). Bani realizing the huge sound behind her turned around and saw him on the floor and rushed to pick him up.
Bani: "Jai are you ok? You didn't hurt your self did you? Chot toh nahi puhanchi kya?"
Jai holding his ears: "Bani I'm really sorry I didn't mean to make fun of you or anything. I was just really enjoying your company and I wanted to hear your innocent sweet voice."
Bani couldn't believe her ears, so she started laughing in partially embarrassment and partially amusement confusing Jai.
Jai: "Bani why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
Bani, in between her fits: "Nahi Jai tummne toh kuch bhi nahi kya hai. I can't believe that you would still ask me forgiveness after that nasty fall. Manna parre ga ke tum bohut ziddi ho. So sweet JaiHehe."
Jai: "So does that mean you forgive me?"
Bani: "Of course Jai I forgive you and after that fall anyone would've."
Jai: "So are we up for dinner tonight?"
Bani: "Nahi sudharo ge…" Shaking her head and patting him on the back she agreed to have dinner with him that night. From that day on they became closer.
They became such close friends that Jai had help her out in her bad time after her little scandal with Mr. Mittal. When she needed help and support, he was there to give her that. Hence he helped her in becoming part of his company and soon she became his personal advisor to run his company.
Present day: Jai smiled when at her chatty nature. 'Bahot bolti hia. Ek din bhi nahi chup hoti,' Jai thought. She was always on the verge of snapping back at him when he would not cooperate or made a mistake somewhere. She was stubborn like him but yet helping and caring person. Her amazing nature was what he needed in his life and she was the only one who could give him that.
Jai looked out the window and thought about her possible answers. He had one day to go before Bani's answer and he was getting restless but he controlled. Bani had called him to meet her on the beach after two days and now one day left, he had no control except to wait and hope for Bani to say yes.
