Kiran Dixit a widow. wife of late nishikant dixit. a middle class woman staying in an appartment with her younger daughter at pune.
Bani Dixit. younger and only sister of sonali. 25 years old a beautiful girl with indian culture. had just finished her college and was looking for job.
Walia Mansion
The house which first used to beam with happiness and laughter was now just a quiet home. the only sound of happiness came was from the youngest member of this family tanu. Jai walia's heart and soul his daughter. The kid was happily cheering up as she took her tinny steps unaware of her surroundings. unaware of the fact that she could not see her mother any more.sonali walia the Bahu of walia parivar was no more. last week she had been coming back from her shopping spree and had met with an accident. being in under observation for few hours she tooked her last breaths not before taking a promise from her husband that he will marry again. for her sake for tanu's sake for his sake.
Jai and sonali had an arrange marriage 3 years back they were a happily married couple. soon after marriage sonali became pregnent with tanisha the happiness was all around the walia mansion and their members. until last week where the happiness of this family left them crying behind for her.
Sonali's mother kiran wept quietly as she sat beside massi and jigyasa partly crying for her elder daughter who left her forever and partly crying for her younger daughter who had been crying constantly from the time she heard about her di's death. she had refused to eat or come out of the room where they had last kept sonali's dead body for last rituals. not responding to any one's words all she did was quietly hug tanu and cry even more. all she reacted to was tanu's kiddy acts as she patted her mashi's(yes tanu calls bani mashi instead of massi) red cheeks asking her why she was crying.
Bani had been in pune finding the job when she came to know about sonali's accident they had rushed to mumbai as soon as they could and she was lucky enough to meet her Di before she died. she had stood inside the ICU with her jiju where Sonali had told jai to take care of bani from this ruthless world. Bani had cried hugging her Di as she(sonali) held jai's hand while other one stroking bani's head and that was the moment when Sonali had Left them for Forever...
Aditya had been looking at the bussiness since jai wasnt in the state to handle any office work. just like bani he too had gone in a shell. he had not cried a single tear infront of his family or other people but when he had returned home after burning sonali's body to ashes he had cried his heart out in his room.He tried his best to act all ok infront of his family especially massi and mostly for tanu he had to now give more time to the little girl he has to be her mother and father now.
Third day going with bani not reacting to anyone's words nor eating anything expect tanu's everyone had got worried all of them had tried out but wait there still was one person left Jai. When massi told jai about bani's state he had been angry on why none of them told him this before. he had been engrossed in himself and tanu that he didnt got time to think about someone else. striding to the pooja room he saw bani sitted with her legs curled with no emotions on her face...
He couldnt believe this was the same bani who used to tease him and fight with him at all small things. the girl who never stopped calling him "jiju" whenever she was around was now not even uttering a word.Jai and Bani had shared a simple yet very deep bond their 'jija sali' relationship was all affectional. although bani never crossed her limits by flirting with her super handsome jiju or even kissed him on the cheeks. no that never happened but still they were very close to each other.
Jai sat beside bani and held her hand"bani.." he didnt got reply but hearing jai's voice bani turned her face and stared at him."she had to go.. Is janam mein shayad bhagwaan ne humme itne hi paal diye the uske sath bitane keliye. now we have to move forward. bani tumhare agge purri zindagi parri hai u have to start ur life once again. "as tears started to flow from her eyes jai rubbed them and continued "massi ne kaha u havent ate anything. chalo kuch khalo." saying so he stood up and brought bani up as well. as he started to take bani out of the room she stopped him and finally said sumthing "Apne bhi to nahi khaya hai." Jai turned to face bani and just kept starring her she knew him very well "agar app khayenge to hi mein khawungi." added bani.
With a node jai took bani to the dining table and added food in her plate.as bani took a spoonful of rice and dal she held it forward towards his mouth. unwantedly a small smile appeared on jai's lips as he held bani's hand and turned the spoon towards her mouth with a slow"pehle tum"he feeded bani and then he ate from the same plate and same spoon....
Massi,Kiran and jigyasa stood at the side watching the two feed each other all three of them had a same thought going in their minds.
Tanu pulled jai's pants as she was now feeling sleepy and was tired finding her mummy "papa. mummy?" she asked. Jai took tanu in his arms flashing a forced smile he said"beta ajj apko papa sulayenge. ok" but tanu just shook her head in negative"mummy" she repeated Jai tightened his jaw as tears threatend to spill out. Bani's eyes moistened she too stood up and took tanu from jai"hmm accha papa bhi nahi then how about mashi. aja mera bacha ajj mashi ke sath soyega. papa ko jaldi se good night bollo" said bani as she tried her level best to sound happy and smile at tanu. "night." said tanu and happily patted bani's cheeks..
That night Tanu slept peacefully with bani. she had tugged tanu close to her chest like she had seen sonali doing. fresh tears spilled out from bani's eyes as she kept starring at tanu wondering what will happen to her when she goes back to pune how will jiju manage such a small kid.
Next Day Bani came down with tanu. as soon as tanu saw jai she slided down from bani's arms and run towards jai. everyone gathered for the breakfast where massi spoke"jai what have you thought about sonali's last wish." Jai dropped the spoon he was holding and glared at massi"massi mujhe us baare mein koi baat nahi karni hai ." Kiran cleared her throat and spoke" jai beta tum dusri shaadi karlo woh sonali ki akhri iccha thi. u have to fulfil it. aur kam se kam tanu ka to socho."
"tanu ka kya hai mummy ji. she is perfectly fine. mein abhi zinda hu usse dono ma aur baap ka pyaar dene ke liye." said jai calmly. Bani didnt say anything as she was busy feeding tanu. "jai hum soch rahe the ke.." jigyasa couldnt say what she wanted to looking at massi and kiran she indicated them to say it.
Aditya looked at the three ladies wondering what were they planning. Kiran knew she had to say it "jai beta hum soch rahe the ki tum aur bani.." both jai and bani's head shot up as they heard their name together waiting for kiran to continue. taking a deep breath kiran continued" tum aur bani shaadi karlo." Bani's spoon dropped in the plate with a glass voice while jai glared at the three ladies and stood up from his chair "what has gone wrong with you all. mein aur bani. sonali ki death ko abhi mahina bhi nahi huwa aur tum log aisi baat kar ra he ho.. mummy ji app how can u."
Jai had lastly loosed his temper which he was controlling till now. Hearing loud voice tanu started to cry and everyone's gaze went on her. Bani still going through what her mum just said trembling took tanu and rushed in the guest room where she was staying.Kiran stood followed by everyone "jai beta mein janti hu what i m saying. par tanu needs a mother janti hu u love her alot par beta ma ka pyaar sirf ek maa hi de sakti hai. u have to admit tanu hum sab se zyada bani ko pasand karti hai. sonali ke baad agar woh kisiko maa ki nazro se dekhti hai to woh bani hai. aur sonali bhi to yahi chahti thi ke tum bani ka khayal rakho. dusri shaadi karo...
Jai not letting kiran continued said"usne mujhe bani ka khayal rakhne ko kaha tha naki usse shaadi karne ko. bani ki ummar to dekhiye app woh abhi jawan hai uskeliye apko kabhi ladko ki kaami nahi hogi phir app usse aise zarbarjasti aise anchahe rishte mein kyun bandh rahi hai." he ignored the part where kiran stated the truth about tanu loving bani.
Massi finally decided to spoke "beta tum swarthi maat bano. apni beti ke bare mein socho. sonali ki akhri iccha ke bare mein socha . bani ke bare.. again not letting massi continue jai added"bani ke barre mein hi soch raha hu. mein swarthila nahi banra ha hu massi swarthile app banrahe hai mein tanu ke wajahse bani ki zindagi se khilwar nahi karsakta.." Massi also was now lossing her patience why was this man so adampt . sighing she angrly said "thik hai. tu reh apni ziid pe.kiran kaal jarahi hai bani ko lekar wapas pune. tanu ke ser se ek maa ka hath to chala gaya abh bani jaisi maa ka bhi hath uske ser se uthjayega."
Saying so the three ladies stormed in their room while jai kept standing going through massi's each word. and the thing nobody noticed was bani standing at the stairs hearing everything. she had came down after making tanu go to sleep and was left speechless as she heard all the talkings. tears tricking down to her cheeks she made her way back in her room.
That Day bani had kept tanu close to her never letting her go away even for a minute. kiran had told bani to pack her stuff which she silently did. Jai didnt even come home for lunch as he too was not knowing what to say or do further..
...............
Next Day Afternoon
After massi had coldly informed jai that kiran and bani were supposed to leave in the afternoon jai had made his way back home from the office. Entering inside the house he saw bani and kiran standing in the hall with their bags packed. He gave an affectional look towards bani but all she did was bend her head down. tears rolled down her eyes as she hugged massi,jigyasa and aditya. when coming to tanu bani just knelt and hugged her tightly and crying.
Jai felt his eyes moistened why. why was this happening to him first sonali and now bani. massi's last words from yesterday kept repeating in his mind and finally he said"massi bani ko jane ki kya zarurat hai she can stay here with us. yaha usse mein job bhi dunga. aur tanu ko bani se juda bhi nahi hona parega." Bani hearing it looked longingly at massi waiting for her to say yes.
"jai bani yaha is ghar mein kaise reh sakti hai. pehle sonali thi to dusri baat thi par abh duniya kya kahengi when they come to know that u are leaving with bani in the same roof with no relation."said massi coldly. jai shutted his eyes tight yes this was also right he could never play with bani's reputation never...
Bani tooka step forward when tanu held her duppata and started crying "mashi no.mummy go.mashi go."Bani cried even more not wanting to leave tanu. she had become part of her life now how can she do this to her. life has already played dirty game with her now will she be repeating the same. not seeing bani turn and take her in her arms tanu cried even more sobbing with big big tears falling. This was it bani turned to look at jai one last time and turned hugging tanu tightly in between her sobs she whispered"i m ready.. ready to become tanu's mum.. ready to become jiju's wi....." she couldnt add more to it as she sat down on the floor and hugged tanu more and more close to her placing kisses all over her face..
Everyone present there was shocked, shocked in a happy way except one person jai. he never dreamt that bani would agree to all this. taking big steps towards bani he hissed"bani tum janti ho na what u are doing. what u are saying." bani without leaving tanu replied"i love tanu more then anything. plzz mujhe usse alag maat kijiye.." Jigyasa beaming yet tears falling said"jai abh to man jawo. tanu ki khatir..." Bani lifted her face from tanu and stared at him now her staying with tanu was depended on his one yes. Jai saw the pleading in bani's eyes looking at kiran who was also telling him to say yes he finally whispered"OK" and left to his room.Bani smiled in between her tears as now no one will be able to take tanu away from her.
The wedding Soon happened on the following week. there was no much of a function jigyasa had organized a mandap inside the walia mansion with a pundit and only three or four close family members attending it. As the pheras got finished bani and jai bended to take blessings from elders.Tanu was happily clapping away when she saw her papa and mashi finally standing up she run towards them and pulled bani's ghagra. bani was still taking blessing from aditya when tanu came. smilling she took her in her arms as jai pulled her chubby cheeks.
Massi told jai and bani to come in the pooja room. while kiran and jigyasa were seeing off the guests bani and jai prayed to matarani and lighted a diya near sonali's photo.Once done they came out and sat in the hall. aditya came and uncomfortably said"so chale..." jai confused asked"kaha?" aditya stared at massi and massi knew she had to say this "woh beta tum dono ki nayi shaadi huwi hai toh kam se kam aj ka din to ghar se dur ek dusre ke sath bitawo. hamare ek hotel mein tum dono ke liye room book kiya hai." although massi said it clearly deep down she was praying to god to save her from the volcane it was about to errupt.
Before jai could open his mouth to blast someone kiran's calm voice came"beta sirf ek din ki to baat hai. aur hotel mein jana sirf ek hi matlab to nahi hota na. tum donoki jabse shaadi taihuwi ek dusre se baat nahi ki. you two need time together. aise kaise chalega." Bani stared up at her mother wondering why was she making things hard for her."jai bani plzz ajj ke din humme nirash maat karo." said jigyasa.
Bani stared at jai from the corner of her eyes as he agreed. kissing tanu on both her cheeks jai and bani drove off to one of the walia hotels.
When the two entered in their suite both couldnt help but just feel more uncomfortable as the entire room was decorated in a romantic way and the last thing they wanted to see was their king size bed covered with red rose petals. Bani felt her eyes getting moist with the thought of spending a night with her sister's husband,her jiju. glued in the same place for more then half n hour jai finally spoke"bani. we both know why we have got married. tumhe mujhse daar ne ki koi zarurat nahi hai... turning to face her he added "the bed is big enough for two of us. lekin agar tumhe koi problem ho to ill shift on the couch.. u decide.." saying so he opened te bag taking out his night suit he went inside the bathroom.
Bani was left starring at his back why did he said about her being scared of him. no she could never think he would do something inapproriate she knew her 'jiju'.. making her way towards the dresser to take off her jewellery which wasnt many just a small set. keeping the mangalsutra she took out her purple nightie from the bag. hearing the bathroom door open she grabbed her nightie and went past him not before wispering "app bed pe sojayie"
By the time she came out jai had already taken his place on the side of the bed leaving plenty of empty space. Bani took a deep breath and layed at the other end. thinking what destiny has install for her she didnt notice when her eyes closed.
