Chapter 4 A "Mama-ji! Mama-ji…," called Anu, trying to get her Mamaji's attention for the past ten minutes, but Jai is too immersed in his thoughts to take notice of her. Jai has been standing in front of the mirror for the past 15 minutes while Anu has been calling her Mama-ji for breakfast but no response from Jai.
Anu is Jai's favorite niece, youngest child of Jigyassa and Aditya. She is the liveliest of all three children of the duo. She was never close to Jai until Jigyassa's death and Jai saw Jigyassa in her. Being the only girl and the youngest had favored her in Jai's eyes. She is now the apple of Jai's eyes and the only one who can control her Mama-ji, beside Bani. She can get away with anything and everything with Jai. Everything has to pass through her after Jai. She is the only one who can pacify Jai and can make him see her way. Everyone in the house talk to Jai through her, she's like his secretary in life. She shares everything with her Mama-ji and when in need she asks him for his support. They have the bond of real father and daughter. Jai shared everything with her that he never shared with anyone in his life. He even shared his deepest darkest secrets with her. He shared everything about Bani with her. She is his confidante. She was also his partner in crime. They were like ying yang twins. Jai could only feel relaxed and himself around her and Bani. Anu could always figure out her Jai mama. Even though Anu is Jai's favorite but she's also the trouble maker. She was always the one who could get away with her nadaangi.
Anu came up to get her Mama-ji to come down to eat his breakfast but Jai was in his own world. He was in his own thoughts that he failed to notice Anu's constant yelling at him and her tapping on his shoulder. Jai has been starring at the mirror and thinking about Bani oblivious to his surroundings. He has been remembering one of his nights in Italy.
Jai and Bani had discovered a lot about each other in those nights that usually would've taken them years of time. After their first unintentional encounter, Bani discovering Jai's identity and then Jai's embarrassing apology had changed Jai forever. When Jai had asked Bani out for the dinner, he was shocked out of his wits at his own behavior and perhaps even more than Bani had. He didn't know what caused him to ask her right there and then but acting on his instincts and jumping to his heart's desire was the best thing he ever did. From that day on he acted on his heart's intentions rather than his mind. He had asked her unintentionally and never regretted it once. Sure he had second thoughts and hesitations about it then but never regretted it. But now he was beginning to wonder if his heart has been wrong on this. That if he should've given some thoughts to this proposal before proposing to Bani like that.
But he didn't want to think about this now because he was in a good mood because he was remembering their first business/personal date, where Bani had embarrassed her self so cutely. Jai didn't want to ruin his day by thinking about this 'because you never knew what today will bring,' thought Jai. He didn't know how the dinner turned personal that night because it was a business dinner that night according to both. But he was glad in all that it took the turn towards their personal life because he discovered her to be the only person he could relax around without any worries in the world.
Jai was brought back to reality by Anu's violent shaking. She was wondering what the matter with her Mama-ji was for the past two days; he was all out of sync ever since he talked to Bani di.
Anu, now annoyed: "Mama-ji! What is wrong with you? Kya nashta nahi karna hai? Skip karne ka iradha hai takke app weight loose kar sakein?" she giggled.
Jai, now fully conscious of her chuckles lightly: "Sorry Anu! Mujhe pata hi nahi challa ke tum mujhe bula rahi thi. Sorry I was just lost in my thoughts."
Anu: "Mama-ji aapko pata hai ke main appko koi 10 minto se aapko bula rahi hoon lekin app hain ke sunte hi nahi. Kya baat hai app bohut khoye khoye se aur pareshaan lagte hain?"
Jai: "Oh nothing I was thinking about mine and Bani's first meeting. Tumhe yaad hoga ke how me and her met in Italy before my final return to India. How I made a fool out of myself twice in her presence."
Anu now smiling at her Mama-ji's cute expressions: "Ji mama-ji. I do remember it. And then how Bani di had gotten a job in your company and shift here too. You know mama-ji I think she's the best thing happened to you so far."
Jai now a little unsure of her last comment and turning away from her: "I don't know Anu. I proposed to her and well she hesitated and now I've given her two days time and tomorrow I'm going to hear her response. You know Anu I thought I could read Bani Dixit but I was wrong. She had my hopes held high but I guess my heart has been wrong."
Anu: "Aww…mama-ji don't worry Bani di will come around I'm pretty sure. She may have thoughts on this because well let's face it you've always thrown everything at her like that and she has always been reluctant but always came around in the end. But this is huge and well she does feel that this is the kind of decisions you have to think about before sealing it final. So give her the time and have faith in her because if I know her she'll never disappoint me or you by refusing it."
Jai: "I hope you are right Anu. Thanks!"
Anu: "Of course I'm right Mama-ji because if I'm not then there would be no Jai Walia without me and my advice. Hehe"
Jai, laughed with her: "Anu tu bhi na…yes my princess there wouldn't by Jai Walia without my Yang in life." Jai joked and then kissed her on the cheek. "Ab challein? Warna tumhari aur meri Massi will send her goons up here and we don't want that now do we?"
Anu chuckling to Jai's joke: "No we definitely don't want that. Let's go."
Jai and Anu head down to the dining area where the breakfast was all laid out and everyone was there waiting for them impatiently that they started their breakfast with out them.
Jai: "Good morning everyone! Arre yeh kya, mere aur Anu ke baghair nashte pe hamla?" Jai asks with mock-annoyance and then kiss Massi.
Massi: "Good morning Munna! Aur kya tumhari apni ghalti hai. Hum sab tumhara kabse intazaar kar rahein hain lekin jab sab ko bhook itni lagi hai ke raha nahi giya."
Massi asks after Jai settles in his chair: "So how's the proposal coming along? When will be hear the good news?"
Sahil: "Haan Mama-ji when will Bani di accept your proposal? I hope she did already. I can't wait when she joins this parivaar because then she can control you and we can see you bowing down to her fully."
Everyone laughs but Jai just give him one stare, along with Anu, Sahil shuts up before speaking any further and that cracks everyone up even more.
Massi now getting to her normal self: "Don't worry Jai Bani will come around. Give her some time I'm sure she will come around. Lassi dahi aur pani ke baghair nahi banti so have faith in her."
Jai: "Ji Massi. I hope you are right. Accha Massi main chalta hoon."
