Sorry got stuck in the cyclonic wheather, the monsoons have arrived...
Chapter 5
Mr Walia I don't mean to be rude but at this moment I don't see why I should be meeting you, anyway thank you for your congratulation, Good night Mr Walia, ND disconnected the phone…

On his way back home, ND knew Kiran would be upset if she heard about this as many times she thought ND was tactless in dealing with people of this kind, if they can do no good they could create un-necessary problems which he has suffered in the past. No he did not like Bani's attending Anu's wedding, he hated to think his daughter went to a DON's house, he keeps low profile that is why maybe the newspapers did not catch Bani's attendance there otherwise he would have had a face loss amongst his subordinates…
The other day at the restaurant, how dare he come and greet them, with great difficulty he had kept his cool….

Bani was doing some sketches when Kiran entered her room…she looked up….
Keya hai ma, you want to say something…
Keya kar rahi hai…
Kuch dresses design kar rahi hu, project banana hai ek….baitho na…
Kiran hesitated and then sat down…Bani tu ne Pushkar kaisa lagta hai…
Achhai hai, Bani did not lift her head from her sketching,
I mean Bani, Papa is thinking of putting your proposal to Pushkar...
What do you mean by that, Bani lifted her head...
Papa likes Pushkar very much, he wants you to marry him...
No way Ma, I am yet to complete my course and Pushkar is not on my priority list now...
Theek hai, abhi nehi 2/3 saal baad me sahi, you can remain engaged in the meantime....
Ma mujhe sone ke pehle koi jhagra nehi chahiye, I want to concentrate on my career at the moment like any other girl period...Bani said with finality...
Theek hai beta, finish your sketch....goodnight...Kiran left Bani's room knowing her daughter, Bani will now ponder over the same for days and then she will come out with her views, it always happens that way, first she will say no and then come up with a yes....
That night Bani went to bed but could not sleep, Pushkar was a good man and not the man of her dreams, she did not know exactly who was her man of dreams but definitely not Pushkar, seeing him her heart never went tara rum pump um, then who, what rubbish thoughts I am having, I want to be a career woman first....

Bani was late in the college, she stayed back to submit her project, the sky looked bad, Bani tried to catch a taxi, they were full then suddenly a SUV came and halted in front of her, Bani, the dark window slid down saw Anu's brother Sahil & Ranveer in it with Sahil on the wheels,
Hi Bani, what are you upto at this hour in front of the college….
Bani smiled Oh I had a project to submit…
Can we give you a lift….
Bani remembered her father's displeasure but before she could give any excuse, the back door opened the Bani noticed that Jai Walia was sitting at the back, Bani lost her voice, she silently got in, though he opened the door to let Bani in, Jai hardly spoke to her. He was busy with his laptop, looking very much like a top business executive, at the back Bani saw two armed men sitting. Soon Bani started enjoying her ride home, Sahil and Ranveer entertained her thoroughly…she laughed and laughed at their PJs and silly comments, she noticed Jai did not speak much but was laughing at their observations too, it was a hearty laughter, soon they reached her house, Bani requested to be dropped at the gate but Sahil said how can I do that with mamaji sitting at the back, you are a lady, your safety is our concern, he said that very dramatically…
Bani took her leave and while getting down she noticed, her father had arrived from office too and was watching them. Jai Walia who was sitting with his window rolled up a few minutes ago had rolled down his window and both her father and him were looking at each other through the corner of their eyes….Bani quickly waved and walked towards the lift…ND got into it behind her and she could make out that he is hopping mad…hey bhagwan, saath dena prayed Bani.

Kiran, Kiran, ND entered the flat shouting for his wife…Kiran came running to see a very angry ND and a guilty looking Bani standing in the Hall,
Keya baath she asked…
Ask your daughter keya baath hai…
Kiran look towards Bani….Bani narrated the incident…
Lekin, issme uski keya dosh hai ...
Koi dosh nehi, replied ND, couldn't she refuse the lift or say she has to go at the opposite direction...
Lift hi toh hai, Papa, I did not even invite them in my house…
Thank God you spared me that trouble….Kiran, listen to me, this girl is going out of my hands, I am going to speak Pushkar immediately….
Suniye ji, why are you rushing things over a small incident…you should see it from Bani's point of view too….Kiran intervened….
Kiran, In this city I am trying hard to make a niche for myself….for each and every case I have to face so many road blocks and over & above this, if my family goes around the city making friends of all the crooks then where is my professional honesty?
Kiran & Bani keep quiet…
+++
Hi Bani, I am back, Anu's voice boomed over the phone…..
From your voice I can make out you had a great honeymoon….replied Bani….Lucky you one month honeymoon…
Lucky, aren't I, lekin unlucky bhi hu, Rohit is going off tomorrow and then I have to wait till the end of session...3 mahina…oh god I will I stay without him…Anu cried…
Good God, Anu you are behaving in such a way that you have been married for ages…ek mahina pehle toh you were living by yourself, I mean with your family…
Bani, forever unromantic, no use of telling you, get married first and then we will talk about it…hello Mamaji, aap agay, Bua is ready I will just call her….o.k. Bani bye…I will call you later…
So Jai Walia has been paying a visit to Anu's place, Bua means Rohit's aunt, Roshni…she is beautiful, a very successful business woman…yes during the wedding there was a lot of whispering going around…the family is interested in Roshni for Jai Walia. So they are dating it seems….
