AT Seventeen Pt 16
Love doesn't make the world go 'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile. (Franklin P Jones)
Bani woke at dawn to the pitter patter of soft rain falling on the roof. Outside it was still dark and even though it was raining, wisps of mists was floating about. It felt little chilly in the room and Bani snuggled close to the Jai and felt the heat warming up her skin. Jai shifted slightly and pulling her arms tight mumbled, "Stay still Bani. It's too early to get up."
Bani murmured into his back, "Aapko bhukh naho lagi? Kaal raat kuch nahi khaya?"
"Whose fault was that honey?" Jai asked softly, eyes still shut tight.
Bani giggled and said, "Yours! The Jacuzzi was your idea and then feeding me all those sinful chocolates. Mmmβ¦those chocolates were definitely wicked. I wonder if there are any more boxes in the fridge."
Glowering at her, "Baniβ¦..If you are going to giggle/talk/moan/bitch in bed than go make yourself useful. Make breakfast since we didn't get to eat dinner that I cooked."
Bani pouted, "Fine I goβ¦by the way did you pack any change of clothes for us?"
Slapping his hand on his head, "Oh my God Baniβ¦I completely forgot. Sorryβ¦.but no problem, we can go shoppingβ¦Lonvala jayenga meri nayee Harley pe."
Arms crossed over and giving a dirty look, "Aur tab takβ¦mei kitchen mei aise jawoon!"
With a smirk on his face, he slowly trailed his eyes from her feet to her chest, "Stupid hoon mein, camera laana bhul gaya. Sure love to take a picture of you making my breakfast in your birthday suitβ¦eggs sunny side up would sure taste deliciousβ¦."
Picking up a pillow and thrashing it on his head, "You and your filthy mindβ¦mein chali before I have to listen any more of your fantasies."
She walked up to the wardrobe and opened to see if there was a bathrobe or something for her to put on. "Oh ********β¦.*****, yeh dekhoβ¦" she screamed. Jai shot upright in bed and stared at the open wardrobe. All he could see were some items hanging on the rail. "It must be Sheena's personal wardrobe." Jai said.
Picking up couple of the items, a pink lacy babydoll and a black sheer slip with a silver thong, she waved them, "I don't believe youβ¦I don't think this is Sheenaji sexy lingerie. Don't try to lie, you bought all this."
Jai coming up to her and taking the babydoll from her and eyeing it, "this is even better Bani. Put this on at least you can go in the kitchen now covered up."
Shoving the items in his hands, "Aapko pasand hai, aap hi phenyai." Bani picke up Jai's shirt, slipping it on strode out of the room.
In the kitchen opening the cupboards and the fridge she decided to make crepes for breakfast, spicy scrambled egg filling for Jai and fruit filling for her. When she was done, she layed the crepes on two plates, she drizzled some chocolate sauce and whipped cream on the fruit crepes and sprinkled Tabasco on the savoury crepes. Picking up the tray she carried it carefully to the bedroom and set it on the small round table.
Feeling pleased she pulled one of the chair out and looked at Jai and said, "Baithyee sahib, breakfast aapka intezaar karte hai."
Slipping out of bed, Jai walked over to the table but before he could sit, Bani shouted, "Aren't you going to put something on?"
"No! Yahan sirf meri biwi hai aur koi doosra?" And Jai sat down on the chair.
Looking at the crepes, he picked up the plate with fruit, cream and chocolate sauce. Bani snatched the plate, "This is mine, and yours is the one with egg."
"Baby that's not fair, I want those they look better than this egg ones. Plus I think I want to start with dessert first today."
Keeping the plate firmly in her hand, "Fine we will share, I will give one of my crepes but you will have to pay for it later."
"Oh I can think of plenty of ways to pay you backβ¦" and winking at her, "and you would love each one of them."
The rain outside had stopped by the time they finished breakfast and cleared up. Bani had shower and put on her old clothes. Seeing the sun peeking out from the clouds, she looked at Jai still lazing on the bed and asked, "So are going to go out to look around and do some shopping?"
Pulling a face Jai reluctantly got up and said, "Yes let's go, oh by the way we are going to a birthday party tonight so we better buy something to wear for the party."
"Birthday party, who's? Who do you know around here?"
"It's Sheena's birthday and she is hosting a small party at the Dukes Retreat here in Khandala. And we are her VIP guests for tonight." Jai smoothed his hair down and threw her a slight arrogant look.
XXXXX
Jai and Bani rode up winding road through the lush green hillside to the hotel. The were amazed at the location of Dukes Retreat. Sitting within the lush grounds on the edge of the hill the property, the view was breathtaking.
Dukes Retreat is a premier Resort located at Khandala with 5-star facilities and a breathtaking view that is best in Khandala and Lonavala. Dukes Retreat is located on a hill along a 500 ft cliff that overlooks the entire Khandala Ghat.
Invitingly situated amidst the greenery, slopes and hills of Khandala, is "Dukes Nose", a majestic cliff on the Sahyadri range of mountains. Located at a 1 hours drive by car, or 2 hours journey by train from Mumbai and 45 minutes drive from Pune, this exotic rich green ambience is a feast for the eyes.
Its naming however goes back to the British Regime, When Khandala was a heaven for the British Governors, Who wanted to spend their holidays amidst serenity. But the name "Dukes Nose" originated after the "Dukes of Wellington" who came to spend his holidays in Khandala. Even today people who come to Khandala, because of a striking similarity between the cliff and his long nose feel the Duke's presence. When observed meticulously with a wink-eye look the cliff appears as if the Duke is sleeping back and taking a nap. The Local natives because of its resemblance to the hood of cobra, loving call the cliff "Nagfani"
Inside the luxurious Windsor hall had been decorated elegantly for the party. The gold and dark blue colour theme added a royal look to the hall. Each of table had an beautiful pearl orchid arrangements which glimmered in the soft light and complemented the beautiful Royal Albert Hampton dinner settings.
Sheena greeted each of the guests personally. She looked a picture of elegance in black designer sari. When her favourite guests, JaiWalia and Bani Walia entered, there was hushed murmur and admiring glances from the guests. Jai hugged Sheena and wished her Happy Birthday and presented her with small gift, picked specially by him.
See what Sheena wore at the party:

Soon the hall filled up and there was laughter and chatter all around. About 8 PM the lights dimmed in the room and spotlight came on the stage. Jai Walia strode up on the stage and the room erupted with taalis (no cheetis(whistling) allowed)
He took the mike and welcomed everyone, and then announced, "Aaj ki raat aug shaandar hogi kyunki hamari saath aaj thodese special guests aayee hai, from all over the world. Put your hands together ladies and gentlemen for:

The hall reverberated with clapping and shouting as the girls perfectly danced the peppy number. There were shouts of moreβ¦more as the girls left the stage. Jai whispered to Bani, "I am thinking of creating an entertainment branch in the Walia Group and hiring these amazing girls to take charge of it. What do you think? We always have to hire outside groups all the time."
Bani whispered back, "Jai all these girls are smart, they are either going to school or have excellent career, and I am sure they don't want to be dancers."
Next Jai announced a special song sung by Sheena's own son (hope he doesn't mind0
(Khushiyon ka din aaya hai
Jo maanga voh paaya hai) - 2
Aaj mujhe meri maa ne beta kehke bulaaya hai
Khushiyon ka din aaya hai
Jo maanga voh paaya hai
Aaj mujhe meri maa ne beta kehke bulaaya hai
Maa meri maa, maa meri maa - 2
(Poochh na mujhko kitna rulaati thi
Har ghadi har pal teri yaad aati thi) - 2
Seene se aake tune lagaaya
Saare dukhon ko pal mein mitaaya
Tu na jaane bin tere maine kitna dard uthaaya hai
Khushiyon ka din aaya hai
Jo maanga voh paaya hai
Aaj mujhe meri maa ne beta kehke bulaaya hai
Maa meri maa, maa meri maa - 2
Maa mujhe tere aanchal mein palna hai
Thaamke ungli tere saath chalna hai) - 2
Pooja ka meri vardaan hai tu
Mere liye to bhagwaan hai tu
Har mandir har moorat mein bas tera roop samaaya hai
Khushiyon ka din aaya hai
Jo maanga voh paaya hai
O, khushiyon ka din aaya hai
Jo maanga voh paaya hai
Aaj mujhe meri maa ne beta kehke bulaaya hai
Maa meri maa, maa meri maa (beta)
Next Jai one of his favourite Mukesh's song:
Suhana safar aur yeh mausam haseen -2
Humein darr hai hum kho na jaaye kahin
Suhana safar..
(Yeh kaun hansta hai phoolon mein chhupkar
Bahar bechain hai jiski dhun par) -2
Kahin gungun, kahin runjhun
Ki jaise nache zameen
Suhana safar...
(Yeh gori nadiyon ka chalna uchhalkar
Ki jaise allhad chale pi se milkar) -2
Pyare pyare yeh nazare nisar hai har kahin
Suhana safar...
Ho ho ho ...
(Woh aasman jhuk raha hai zameen par
Yeh milan humne dekha yahin par) -2
Meri duniya, mere sapne milenge shaayad yahin
Suhana safar...
Dinner followed the entertainment and then the dancing. The chocolates were a hit with everyone giving advance orders. Sabjs had to close the cocktail bar early as some of the guests were getting a little to rowdy. The party carried on into the early hours of the morning. Jai and Bani were the last one to leave, giving Sheena invitation to visit Walia mansion.
As it was late Jai and Bani decided to stay the night at the resort.
Hi everyone, I hope the part was entertaining. Sheenaji hope you enjoyed the birthday party, I am sure everyone that read the update did.
Ps let me know if I took liberties too far and have offended anyone.
