Chapter 14 Jai stood there for sometime, Roshni was looking so different with so much of makeup, what wrong with her, she never used these before, she was naturally beautiful….

Bani watched from the gallery her parents and her middle chacha/chachi alongwith Ajit and Pia entering on Sunday morning, being seated, both bua and Jai were welcoming them even Roshni was there with her best smile on, offering tea, snacks…
Tony Bani ko bulao, Bani straightened herself and went towards the steps.
Her family had come to invite Jai for her cousin's wedding, he was their damaad, it would be very wonderful if he can make it, of course with didiji and Roshni ji too…
Her family spent the day with them, went around the house, thanked Jai for taking good care of their daughter and lastly over lunch her mother said…
Jai beta, hamare Rano aur Bani ekhi umar ki hai, dono bahen se jaida dost hai, mai sooch rahi thi Bani ko agar hamare saath leke chalu, aapko koi aithraaz toh nehi na hoga, shaadi ke baad gayi nehi ek baar bhi, Rano ko achha lagega…
Jai looked at Bani, she was sitting talking to Pia and Ajit, but he knew she heard everything, he now could read her body language…
Agar Bani jana chahati hai toh…
Areh Jai Bani kiyu nehi jana chahegi, mera toh idhar hi hai, lekin maine apne dosto ko dekha hai, maayke ke naam se kitna chehra khil uthta hai....kiyu Dai Ma Bani ko ho ana chahiye na...
Ha Roshni, mere tabiyaat abhi theek nehi hai, nehi toh mai bhi chali jati, bahut din gao nehi gaya...
Toh baath tay ho gaya Jai beta, Nishikant replied, Pia bhi a rahi hai aur Bani bhi hamara ghar toh phir se bhar uthega...ja ja beti apna saman pack karle, abhi nikal jane se ageh ki train mil jayegi...
Before going to her room to pack, Bani gave a discreet look towards Jai but he was attentively hearing what her father had to say.....
As Bani packed, Pia came to help…itna din baad maayke jane me kuch excitement alag hi hai, lekin abhi Ajit ko bhi chhor kar jaane ka maan nehi kar raha hai….
Bani smiled, yes its true she agreed silently, after the initial uneasiness, they are now quite comfortable in each other's company, even though Jai doesn't hold her hand in public but once they are in their bedroom he can be very romantic, specially she remembers the night when he came to her room after her showdown with Bua.
She had locked the door, he initially knocked and asked her to open up, when she did not pay a heed, he got the keys and unlocked it…
Aap kiyu aye haye andar, she shouted…
Yeh mera ghar hai, mai kahi bhi ja sakta hu…
Theek hai, agar yeh aapka ghar hai toh mujhe yeha nehi rehna hai....
Kaha jayogi, Pia one bedroom flat me rehti hai, maayke tumko nehi jana aur abhi Pushkar bhi tumse gussa hai.....
Itna bara saher kahi na kahi mere liye jagah ho jaiga...
Hmmm so toh hai, lekin abhi phirse barish gir rahe hai, jayogi kaise....
Aapse matlab...jaise bhi jayu...
Mera biwi ho tum kaise matlab nehi hoga...
Agar mai aapka biwi hu toh niche log aise bol rahe the, tab aapka muh baand kiyu tha.....
logo kaam hai kehna, lekin tum yeh socho ki mai keya keh raha hu, what are my thoughts and my wishes and vice versa….mujhe maloom hai sunne me achha nehi lekin kis kis ka muh tum band karoge…anyway mai yeh bolne aya tha, bol diya abhi ja raha hu....
Bani reached out for his hand.....it was the most passionate night they had as the storm raged outside, she cried and told him about her fears that if she is unable to bear his child, she will loose her face, he reassured her, nothing will change, if she wants they will undertake the best medical help but he will not accuse her for her inability abhi ke liye ek doosre ko janna bahut jaroori hai…Bani then shared her dreams and aspirations, her desire to open a small restaurant in a popular tourist spot along the sea where she will cook in front of her guests and Pushkar will serve, I wanted cook from simple to exotic dishes but at money's worth, she raised her head from his chest to describe the dcor of the restaurant she had planned, Jai listened patiently, he had the money but it was her dream, she wanted to have it with her own hard work, even if he gives her the money to build it, the fun and the sense of achievement would be lost….

As Bani climbed in the car with her parents, Jai came forward and helped her pressing her palm lightly before closing door….
+++
Roshni watched the car leaving Walia Mansion with Bani and her family for station, chalo for next 15 days Jai sirf mera rahega, I have to plan something so that he doesn't remember Bani in these 15 days…
+++
Bani reached her village, jara phone karke buaji ko bata de beta ki hum pahuch gaye…
Bani calls Jai's mobile…
Mai bol rahi hu…
Pahuch gayi…
Ji…
Bina permission ke chali gayi….
Lekin...
Jaise hi ma aur bapu ko dekha, mere bare me bhul gayi...
Aap ne toh kuch nehi kaha jab aapse puchha gaya...
Maine socha tha, tum mana kar doge...
Aur maine soocha tha aap...
Good bye bhi nehi kiya...
Aap bhi toh nehi kiya…
I hate goodbyes…tumhare bina suna suna lag raha hai…
Bani laughed…maska mar rahe hai, abhi toh mai ayi hu, itna jaldi suna suna….
Lagna nehi chahiye keya…
Lagna tu mujhe chahiye, aap ke pass to phirbi Roshniji hai, mere pass toh aur koi nehi…
Roshni hai toh keya huwa mai tumhe miss nehi kar sakta…
Bani blushed…aap buaji ko bata dijiye ga humlog pahuj gaye hai, aur mai abhi rakh rahi hu…
Bhag rahi ho…
Nehi bahut tired lag raha hai, fresh hone ja rahi hu…
O.K take care and Bani heard a kissing sound….
+++
Roshni showed the tickets to Jai, a five day's trip to Goa…Jai maine Leela me booking karwa di Jai…humlog bahut din kahi nehi gaye…
Leela mai Roshni….
Kiyu Leela me keya kharabi hai...
It is too big, too ….
Tumne kab se expense ke bare me soochna shuru kar diya Jai…
Not expenses, I mean not very homely na….
Roshni gave him a surprised glance…
Keya baath hai Jai the last time we were there, you quite enjoyed yourself and always wanted to go back…
It is o.k. Roshni, since you have already booked, I hope I can make it, some important meetings are lined up…
Tum keya bahana bana rahe ho Jai, we have made sudden plans in the past also, you had important meetings then also ,,,keya baath hai Jai, don't you want to go on a holiday with me now…
I didn't say that Rosh…Jai took guard….theek hai, mai aditya ko brief karta hu aur Bani ko inform kar deta hu…
Bani, Bani ko kiyu…
Atleast she should know nah that I will be out of station for a few days…
Don't worry your Ma will do the honours…
She may do it, but as a husband I should inform my wife, isn't it…
She will be jealous…
Maybe, Maybe not, if she is I will make it up for her afterwards, you do not have to worry about it….
Roshni cursed the moment she made the plans to visit Goa…
+++
Bani watched Pia doing coochicoo with Ajit over her mobile…she quietly went out of the room, well Jai has taken Roshni for a holiday so no use of disturbing him, she cannot imagine herself doing the same with Jai at the moment with Roshni watching, the other day when he flirted with her over phone, she could not sleep during the night, was missing him so badly, did he mean it or was he acting it out, but after all these months she knew one thing, Jai did not believe in hiding anything and did not show his preferences between Roshni and her though she understood that there was an unspoken understanding between him & Roshni…afterall they have been married for a long time and have known each other before that…
+++
Jai and Roshni walked into the hotel in arms, they were waiting for their turn to check in when Pushkar saw Jai….
Hello Mr Walia, welcome to Goa!!
Oh hello Pushkar, what are you doing here…
