Chapter 7
The driver looked through the rear view mirror to Jai Walia, with making a sound he said the name, the driver read his lips and nodded…Jai looked at the mobile kept between then, quietly picked it up, opened it, and dislodged the sim card a little…even the police cannot track you now….returned it to its former place…

Bani was upset with Pushkar, she thought he would understand her after all being a few years older than her and when her father informed her that today this Saturday Pushkar's parents will be coming to Mumbai and in the evening they will drop in and if everything is o.k. by next day she should be engaged to Pushkar.
Bani had called up Pushkar, she told him about her apprehensions that they do not know each other and marriage is a big step…
Well Bani what do you want to know more, my life is similar to your father's and so you are well aware of it and as for being married to you, well Bani you are ND Sir's daughter, I admire your father very much and marrying his daughter will be an honour for me…
Oh what crap thought Bani, how can an intelligent man talk something like this and there is limit to hero worship, it is she who he is getting married to and not her father…
Madam, some juice for you….Bani opened her eyes, she was sitting under the tree next to the sea, in Alibagh (about 3 hours drive from Mumbai), what she guessed is Jai Walia retreat place…maybe he is meeting someone as he was no where in sight …she looked at her watch it was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so they should be leaving now, Pushkar's parents are coming for dinner…….she picked up the juice glass, please inform Mr Walia that I am ready to leave….she sipped her juice lost in her thoughts once again…
Jai Walia was watching Bani from one of the open windows…after Bani finished her juice, he withdrew from it and pulled the curtains…

Bani woke up with a start, it was a different bed and she was wearing the same set of clothes, where am I and then her thoughts came rushing back to her….god my parents must be fanatic, I slept the evening and the night away, she got up, where is my purse I need to call home to say everything is o.k. ….
What will I answer when they ask where I am, I just cannot let Mr Walia down, he behaved so nicely with me….due to my sleeplessness the last few days I dozed off, maybe he has already informed home, let me find out
Bani got out of the room, she walked into what looked like a sitting room and was surprised to see Anu's parents sitting with Jai Walia and all of them looking grave…
+++
Before Bani could say anything, she noticed the heading of the newspaper lying on the centre table….
Has ACP Nishikant Dixit's daughter eloped with Jai Walia….
Bani froze, she walked up to pick up the newspaper to read the report…
It seems that yesterday morning when Mr Walia had given Bani a lift, a freelance reporter was there in the bus stop who knew Bani's father was the ACP, he clicked a few pictures with his mobile thinking just in case it makes an interesting story…later there was a buzz in the locality that Bani Dixit is missing and cannot be traced through her phone then the reporter simply put two & two together as Bani Dixit has been seen in Jai Walia's car a few times and there was a buzz that ACP Dixit wants his daughter to marry his deputy Pushkar Shukla, against her will….and Jai Walia in the meantime cannot be contacted but sources say he is not in his residence….
What a cock & bull story, exclaimed Bani with a disgust…
No my dear don't treat it so lightly….why do you think we are here…Aditya asked…
Matlab
Matlab, its all over the news channels, they are front of our house, the problem is Jai had switched off his mobile yesterday too because of his work…..and after seeing these pictures your father has disowned you…..
KEYA….
He has accepted the fact that inspite of his displeasure you have remained in contact with us, mainly due to Anu and now of course things are looking different, why would you go off prior to a day of your engagement with another man…You know what I mean…Jigyasa & myself drove down early morning to be here….whole night we were up answering to Police and the press…of course the police was easy, if an adult woman wants to go off somewhere willingly what can be done
Bani was too angry and too stunned to say anything…her parents…how can they even think of something like this, don't they trust her at all….suddenly Jigyasa started shouting…
Jai Bhaiya, dekh liya na help karne ka anjam, I told you many times think with head & not heart….lekin you will never learn…
What the heck, Bani intervened, let me get ready and go right away and we can explain the situation first hand…
Do you think its so easy, Jigyasa glared, my brother has got labeled of running away with a girl and where do you want to go …to your father but he has already disowned you my dear…and anyway my brother is a public figure, this kind of publicity, oh god Jai, now what will happen, the people trust you with their girls…yeh keya hogiya …yeh ladki ki waje se tumhara baadnam ho giya…
Bani for the first time looked helplessly at Jai...he was looking grave but he stared into her eyes, thought for a while and then said…
O.K then we get married….
WHAT….at this age people don't get married for such silly reasons..
People like me do…
Matlab….
Bani, understand one thing in my own way I am a public figure as Jigyasa rightly said…ordinary people trust me…bahu / betiya wala trust that is when I visit them, they open their house for me…but with this incident…with so much publicity and now about you, you can walk out from this place lekin…keya faida, your father, you know him better than me…you cannot stay in my house in an unmarried state aur at this juncture I guess you have no money / hardly any training and I don't even think your relatives will help you…
Lekin hum to bol sakte nothing really happened, I was upset and wanted solitude…
With Jai Walia…
You know nothing of that sort happened…
I know lekin do they know, just open the TV and find their reaction, if you have to prove anything, they will want an medical examination…do you want to face it…press ko toh mauka milna chahiye mere peechhe lagne ke liye…Jai Walia bhag giya with Bani Dixit is not the point, bhag giya with ACP Dixit's daughter is the point…my dear, I am not the law keeper's favourite child you see…the point is we fell in love and we eloped, may not sound very good now but will serve our purpose very well…
What makes you think I want to get married to you…
You were marrying Pushkar Shukla you hardly knew him and the same is for me….and if things don't turn out ….there are other ways out nowadays and people will then only say…we knew it was meant to be doomed…
Before Bani could open her mouth again, she heard Jigyasa talking on the phone instructing someone to get hold of the Panditji and Jai & Bani were going to get married now…
She gave a stunned look and turned towards Aditya…he was also on his mobile instructing one of his son's to come along with his mother and other family members to Alibagh fast as mamaji is getting married within next few hours…
Bani looked at Jai, he stared back….she understood…this is India after all you get married to the person you eloped with and if it does not work out…well as he said….
Bani gave a slight smile, Jai acknowledged and smiled..he took out his mobile and started dialing, got up to walk towards the window….
