CHAPTER 108:
The guys and the guests waited for at least 30 minutes, but still there was no sign of girls or of Bani. The guests were getting impatient and so were the guys; enough was enough Jai decided he needed to do something.
Adi- Aare Jai tum kahaan jaa rahe ho?
J- Upar, Bani ke paas.
S- Dimag kharab hogaya hai aapka Bhaia?!
Ranv- Haan, are you really going to go into the lion's den?
J- Lion nahin lioness…Bani female hai.
Ranv- Who cares, Bani Bhabi koi lion se kaam nahin hai.
J- I don't care…mujhe jaana hi hai.
S- Best of luck Bhaia…hope you come back with all 206 bones in tact.
Aditya, Sahil and Ranveer laughed as Jai glared at the before heading up to where Bani was. As he approached the room he could hear the girls trying to reason with Bani, and he could also hear Bani giving them a really hard time. Jai didn't know what he was thinking, but it looked like he had a death wish. He took a deep breath before he stepped into the room.
B- What is HE doing here? Maine kaha tha naa ke mujhe inse nahin milna hai!
(Bani was about to run into the bathroom)
R- Nahin Didi, aap yahin baitiye.
Jig- Oh my God Bhaia, aap yahaa kya kaar rahe hai? Pehle se kya kaam problem the ke aab aap bhi aagaye.
A- Jiju, aap jaiyeh, hum sambal rahe hai naa.
J- Kya khak sambal rahe ho, Bani ki godh bharai hai aur abhi tak woh upar baite hai.
Jig- What can we do, she is too stubborn!!
J- Let me talk to her.
B- Lekin mujhe aapse koi baath nahin karni! Aapke vajese meri yeh halat hai, I look like an elephant.
J- No you don't, but you don't look skinny either.
(The girls all gasped at what Jai said, and Bani whipped her head around to look at Jai.)
Jig- Bhaia, yeh aap kya keh rahe hai? Dimag kharab hogaya hai aapka!
R- Jiju, joh bhi progress humne kiya tha, saab ke upar aapne pani pher diya!
A- Saachi Jiju, yeh kya kar diya.
Jai wasn't paying any attention to what the girls were saying, his eyes were glued to his fuming wife. Slowly Jai made his way to where Bani was sitting on the bed, an empty bowl of ice cream on her lap. Jai took the bowl and put it on the night stand.
J- Bani, be reasonable. Tum pregnant ho, tum toh patli nahin lagogi hai naa?
B- Hmph! Why don't you just call me fat and ugly to my face? Oh wait, you already did that!
J- Hey, maine aaisa kaab kaha?
B- Abhi to kaha tha!
J- Nahin baba, puri baath toh sun lo.
(Bani folded her arms across her chest)
The girls whispered behind Jai…
A- Oh, this should be good, let's see what he has to say.
Jig- Yeah, let's see what he pulls out of his ass.
Jai glared at them as the girls snickered.
J- Bani tum pregnant ho, tumne weight toh put on kiya hai. Lekin yeh weight zaroori hai, tuhare liye aur baache ke liyeh zaroori hai. We know that our baby is nice and healthy because you put on weight because it is the baby's weight. (Jai placed a hand on her stomach; and gently kissed it) It is pregnancy weight, wear it with pride! (this got a small smile from Bani) Rahi tumhare looks ke baath, toh you look gorgeous…woh kya kehte hai naa…kuch glow…haan haan…you have the pregnancy glow…you look beautiful! Mujhe tumpe naazar rakhna hoga, kya paata, koi aagar aake tumpe line mare toh…mera toh satiyanash hojayega!
At this point Bani gave a little giggle, but she already had tears of joy running down her face.
R- Wow, Jiju did good.
Jig- Yeah, looks like he pulled gold out of his ass!
Jai got up and went over to the giggling girls.
J- Quit heckling like hens and get my beautiful wife ready for HER party.
Jai quickly left before the girls could get him back for calling them heckling hens. He was going to pay for that one, he was sure of it, but oh well, the looks on their face when he called them hens…priceless. Jai joined the guys downstairs soon.
Ranv- Wah, all bones in tact, no blood…I'd say you did well.
Adi- Kaise Jai, how did you come out unscratched?
J- I took it from Sahil, the truth shall set you free.
S- (perked up his collar) Ha ha, see…main kitna aacha professor hoon…Jai Bhaia net oh sik liya hai, aab aap dono kuch siko mujhse.
That earned Sahil a round of fists and smacks and lots of ridicule.
About fifteen minutes later a hush fell across the room, only a few whispers could be heard; all heads were turned towards the stairs. The girls were coming down with Bani. She was dressed in a beautiful red and green ghagra choli; she truly did have a glow about her. Jai's heart swelled with love and pride as he saw Bani walk down and towards him.
Bani's Dress:
Bani sat down on her special chair as Massi and Dadi began the rasams for the godh bharai. (I am not familiar at all with what goes on so let's just say they did what they were supposed to do and everyone blessed Bani; now lets get to the party)
All the rasams were done and now it was time to get the show on the road. Rano was acting as the MC, so she came on the speakers.
R- Attention everyone, aaj ke din bohot hi special hai humare family ke liyeh. Aap saab iss kushi mein shamil hone aaye, hume bohot kushi hui hai. Saab rasam tho ho chuke hai, toh aab thoda sa mauj masti bhi hojaye. Pehle, humara Jiju, yani Mr. Jai Walia (pointing to him) meri Didi, yani Mrs. Bani Jai Walia (pointing to Bani) ke liyeh ek gaana gayega.
Everyone was cheering and Rano was about to get off the stage when she added a small note.
R- Aagr kissi ko cotton bud chahiyeh aapne kan mein dalne ke liyeh toh please see me. Let me advise you, if you want to save your hearing…kan mein cotton zaroor dal na.
The room burst out into laughter as Jai wanted to strangle Rano. He was already nervous about singing, not knowing if Bani was going to like the song or not, there were all these people here to watch him make a fool of himself, and on top of all that, Rano's teasing.
Jai cleared his throat and began.
Yeh Dil Tere Kadmo Mein Bichha Doon
Tere Mehke Khaabon Ko Saja Doon - 2
Jai went and walked up to Bani, took her by the hand and helped her stand up; He actually needed the help of Rano pushing her from behind as well.
Teri Chaahaton Ke Sadke Meri Zindagi
Abb Toh Jaane Jaana Mujhko Teri Aashiqi
Hasaaye Bhi, Rulaaye Bhi, Sataaye Bhi - 2
As he sang, he danced slowly with Bani. His hand around her hips holding her protectively to him; her hands over his shoulder. They weren't too close, because physically it was not possible.
Tere Khayaalon Mein, Tere Sawaalon Mein Ulajha Rehta Hoon Main
Kaise Bataayuun Main Kya Kya Muhabbat Ke Zakhm Sehta Hoon Main
Meri Panaahon Mein, Meri Nigaahon Mein, Tera Hi Jalwa Rava
Meri Tassabur Mein, Meri Ibaadad Mein, Tera Hi Kissa Bayaan
Teri Chaahaton Ke Sadke Meri Zindagi
Abb Toh Jaane Jaana Mujhko Teri Aashiqi
Hasaaye Bhi, Rulaaye Bhi, Sataaye Bhi - 2
Slowly the lights dimmed and a white screen became visible in the room. Suddenly there were pictures of Bani playing out on the screen. They were pictures from her wedding celebrations to the most current ones of her doctor visit; even the baby's sonogram was shown. It was a beautiful slide-show that played as Jai sang.
Armaano Ko Mere Deewaana Karati Hai Teri Labon Ki Hasin
Mere Toh Lamhon Pe Teri Hi Chaahat Ki Chhaayi Rahe Bekhudi
Meri Tamanna Ne Mere Dilon Jaan Pe Aisa Kiya Hai Asar
Dekhu Jahaan Dekhu Tere Siva Mujhko Aaye Na Kuchh Bhi Nazar
Teri Chaahaton Ke Sadke Meri Zindagi
Abb Toh Jaane Jaana Mujhko Teri Aashiqi
Hasaaye Bhi, Rulaaye Bhi, Sataaye Bhi - 2
As his song came to an end, the last picture of the slide show was one of Jai and Bani, both their hands on her swollen belly, looking loving down.
Yeh Dil Tere Kadmo Mein Bichha Doon
Tere Mehke Khaabon Ko Saja Doon
Teri Chaahaton Ke Sadke Meri Zindagi
Abb Toh Jaane Jaana Mujhko Teri Aashiqi
Hasaaye Bhi, Rulaaye Bhi, Sataaye Bhi – 2
(Hasaaye Bhi Rulaye Bhi – Darling)
Bani had tears in her eyes as Jai came and gave her a kiss on her forehead, and quietly whispered 'Thank you' in her ears. The girls were also rather pleased with the out come of Jai's song; they liked the song too. The guys were standing with their chests sticking out in pride.
J- Iss gaane ka credit Adi, Sahil aur Ranveer ko jaata hai. In theeno ne bohot mehnat kiya tha mujhe yeh gaana sikhane ke liyeh. So a round of applause for the guys.
The room erupted in applause and the guys took bows and what not, totally taking advantage of their lime light.
R- Very nicely done Jiju aab…
J- Thero ek minute Rano…maine Bani ke liyeh kuch likha hai. I wrote her a poem.
R- Aww…so sweet.
Now the guys faces dropped.
S- Oh my God, Jai Bhaia toh hume marvayega!
Adi- Yeh kya kaar raha hai Jai, saach mein uska dimag phir gaya hai!
Ranv- Oh my God, aagar Jai Bhaia new oh blue+yellow=green wala poem keh diya toh.
Adi- Toh…toh kya, aaj toh woh Bani ke hatoon paaka pitega!
S- Yeah, for sure (out loud) We had nothing to do whit this! Yeh saab Jai Bhaia ka hai…we did nothing!
Ranv- Nice, saved our butts!
S- Of course.
Jai cleared his throat…
Had I the heavens' embroidered clot hs,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the h alf-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Adi- Wow, that was actually good…where did that come from?
R- Oye, chor kahin ke…tauba Jiju…yeh aapka shayar nahin hai. W.B. Yeats wrote this poem. You got that form my book of the worlds 100 best love poems!
S- Cheater cheater…cheater!
Ranv- Yeh kya baath hui, aap aapni biwi ke liyeh kuch original nahin keh sakte the.
A- Shame, shame Jiju!
Everyone began mumbling amongst themselves when suddenly the heard Jai once again…
People thank God for the flowers in bloom.
People thank God for the sun and the birds in the open air.
People thank God for the moon and stars in the night sky.
People thank God for watching over them.
I thank God because He made you for me,
And I thank God everyday, for the moment he sent you into my life.
It was a short poem, but people had tears in their eyes. The guys looked to Rano to see if it was a poem from her book, Rano just shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head in the negative because it wasn't from her book.
R- Ok aab bohot hogaya yeh emotional rollercoaster! Nice poems Jiju and nice song…lekin aab kuch masti hojaye. Ek choti si break ke baad hum vapas aate hai. In the mean time, please enjoy the food and drinks.
Everyone was busy taking care of the guests, and the girls were busy getting ready for their dance, especially Rano because she was doing the whole thing, Anu and Jigyasa were only doing the beginning of it. Bani was getting thirsty but before she could ask, she saw someone holding out a glass of water for her. When she looked up she saw none other than Ranveer.
B- Thank you Ranveer.
Ranv- No problem.
B- Jaante ho, tum bilkul ek bhai ke jaise ho. Kitna khayal rakte ho tum meri. I'm really lucky.
Ranv- Any time, aab aapke liyeh kuch khaane ke liyeh laun?
Ranveer went to get Bani some food, and in the mean time the girls returned and were ready to perform. Everyone took their seats or what not and just waited patiently for the performance to begin. The song soon began.
Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa - 3
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le - 2
Saiyyaan, saiyyaan, saiyyaan saiyyaan
Saiyyaan se kheli bahut ab
Chhotu ko khilaayi le
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Sola singaar kare
Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa - 2
The girls, all three of them danced to this part of the song. They had good moves and everyone was enjoying it.
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein
Oye hoye hoye hoye, oye hoye hoye hoye
(Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, naani behlaave
Paayal pehenke naani naach dikhaave) - 2
Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa – 2
Rano and Anu went and pulled Massi and Dadi into this part of the song, even though it said naani, they went with Dadi. The guys all cheered on Massi and Dadi with clapping and whistling. Suddenly Ranveer broke in.
Haan, chhotu jo aave ghar meinChhotu jo aave ghar mein
Hoye hoye, oye oye oye oye
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, maasi ko bulaave
Naapi badalke unko lori sunaave
Rano was beside herself, who did this balloon-blowing-Rangeela think he was!
Naapi? Maasi ji?
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, aave unke mama
Rano chided him with the lyrics. Jai came up behind Ranveer and asked…
Mama? Ya chacha,
Ranveer responded…
Mm chacha
Rano wasn't stopping; she just shoved Ranveer out of the way and continued with her song.
Chhotu jo aave ghar mein, aave unke mama
Daaton se naada pakde, haathon se pajaama
Oh, teri hasi bhar bharke
Ghar mein chhidkaave
Rano, Jigyasa and Anu all gathered around Bani and did the closing of the song.
Oh, sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Saiyyaan, saiyyaan, saiyyaan saiyyaan
Saiyyaan se kheli bahut ab
Chhotu ko khilaayi le
Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le
Sola singaar karke
Waari jaawa waari jaawa waari jaawa
Sau sau baari sau sau baari waari jaawa ..
(Sola Singaar – Filhal) **Lyrics thanks to Guli-o**
Everyone clapped and cheered for a job really well done by the girls. They were all having fun, no one noticed a lost looking Ranveer staring at Rano, who was clueless.
The party continued into the night. Bani and Jai were both congratulated left right and center. They were truly blessed.
The party had winded down, all the guests had left. The family gathered in the big family room to take a breather before they went off to bed. Rano was handling the payment for the caterers and what not, Ranveer was making sure that the clean up was done right, so they were missing.
M- Bani ek baath poochu tumse?
B- Of couse Massi, kya baath hai?
M- Aab toh Rano ki graduation bhi hocuki hai…tumne uske future ke barein mein kya soocha hai?
B- Matlab?
D- Billo ki matlab hai, saadi.
"Shaadi" yelled the three guys, who were relaxed on the couch but were not on full alert.
M- Haan shaadi, shaadi ki umar hogayi hai usse.
J- Massi Rano abhi baachi hai, shaadi karne ke liyeh bohot time hai.
Adi- Jai tik keh raha hai, she is still a baby.
A- Rano and baby, she is the only one to put you three in your places…how can she be a baby?
J- Joh bhi ho, uski shaadi ki umar nahin hui hai. Usse abhi masters ke phadai karma hai, phir shayad PhD.
Jig- Hello, aap saab Rano se itni phadai kyun karvana chate hai?
Adi- Jigyasa, samja karo…Rano ki shaadi nahin ho rahi hai.
S- Massi aap bhi naa, giving us a heart attack for nothing.
M- Tu chup bait! (turning to Bani) Aaj bohot log keh rahe the ke Rano kitni aachi hai. Woh kaise saab kaam kar rahe the, woh bhi kushi kushi saab kuch sambhal rahi thi. Saab bohot impressed tha Rano se.
D- Haan, Mrs. Chada keh rahe the ke unka ek beta hai, Pammi keh rahi thi uski ek bhatija hai, Rewa keh rahi thi ke uske pados mein ek family rehta hai joh ek aachi ladki ki talsh mein hai, ladka NRI hai.
S- We need to get new family friends; ones that do not have single men anywhere in sight.
J- Hell yeah we do. No single-eligible bachelors allowed!
Jig- Aab aap log zaara practically sochiyeh. What's wrong with Rano getting married?
Adi- Jigyasa yeh tum pooch rahi ho? Don't you know what happened?
A- Hum jaante hai jij, issi liyeh toh. Aagar Rano ki shaadi hojayegi toh woh aapni ateeth bhul jayegi…she will move on.
S- You have a point.
Adi- Aagar hum Rano ki shaadi ki barein mein sooche toh ladka had to be one in a million.
S- Yeah, good looks…
J- Good education…
Adi- Good family background…
S- A good sanskari ladka…
Adi- Good looks…
S- I already said that Adi Bhaia…
Adi- Oh really…
J- Sahil, tu yeh saab note kar ek paper par, we will make a check list for this guy. He has to be top notch.
S- Yeah, his own business, or able to stand on his own two feet. Can't be maa, baap ka ladla beta jo sare paise sifr uda sakte hai, kamana nahin janta.
D- Tum saab toh aaise baath kaar rahe ho ke shaadi ke liyeh abhi iss waqt ladka dhund na hai.
J- Massi, yeh Rano ki zindagi ka sawal hai! We have to prepare in advance
(the guys got busy with their note taking and list making)
M- Anth mein yeh faisla Bani ki hai.
B- Massi, mujhe lag raha hai ke aap sahi keh rahe hai…hume Rano ki shaadi ke barein mein soochna chahiyeh.
The family went back to their discussion about Rano's future wedding, not knowing that someone had head the whole conversation and their heart was breaking…………………Ranveer………………………
…Ch 109…what will Ranveer do…stay tuned
