Ranveer kneeled down before her, holding her hand. Bani looked at him as if her life had drained out of her. Her eyes grew wider and wider in plain horror. The shock was clearly visable on her face for everybody in the room. But nobody in this room was more shocked than the man who was standing in his suit, next to the bar,holding a glass of scotch in his hand. The uncle of the man who was in the center of the room, kneeling before a lady with every pair of eyes fixed at them.

Part 11
'Ranveer, yeh tum kya kar rahe ho?! Utho na, please!' Bani whispered sternly.
Ranveer was holding Bani's left hand with his right hand. With his other hand, which was holding a microphone, he indicated her to stop.
'Please Bani.' He said loud and clearly also because of the microphone.
'Aaj mujhe kehne do, warna mai kabhi nahin keh paaunga. I have been holding this inside me too long and it has been killing me every moment.
Every guest gathered around them, except one. The same man who was still standing near the bar, watching everything in horror.
Ranveer continued: 'Bani you have been my best friend and my confident for the past three years. You are one of the reasons I have changed, only for the better I hope. You are one of the reasons I got closer to my family and have been a better son, brother and so on. You have been an angel to me and my family, but I am sorry to say I have been keeping a secret for a while. I have not confessed my feelings for you and it is high time I step up and like a responsible man, do justice to my feelings and myself and take our relationship to the next level. That is why I am asking you this question in front of the people who are important to me, and telling you the secret I have been hiding.' Ranveer paused.
The silence was killing Bani every second. After what seemed like ages she heard Ranveer take a deep breath and say: Bani will you do me the honour of becoming my sister-in-law? Will you give your Guriya, Rano's hand to me in marriage?''
For a while Bani could not think clearly. She could not register what happened. Her mind and her thoughts was floating somewhere else, until she heard Ranveer soflty whisper her name. He had no colour on his face, and kept looking towards Bani. Bani gave him a reassuring smile. She scanned the room and saw Aditya and Jigyasa smiling and nodding. Bani had to make sure they agreed to this alliance, after all they were the would-be groom's parents, and judging by their smile they had no objections.
Bani saw a familiar face hiding behind Aditya and peeping at her. It was a rather nervous looking Rano. Bani looked down at a disheartened Ranveer, who was still on one knee. She took his face in her hand and said: 'Yes, Ranveer. I would be the happiest girl on this planet with you as my brother-in-law and you as Rano's husband.'
She took Ranveer's hand and made his stand on his feet. She led him towards Rano, who was still hiding behind Aditya an Jigyasa, paused for a moment and asked Aditya and Jigyasa: 'Aap ko yeh rishta sachmuch manzoor hai?
Both of them smiled and almost screamed es!
Bani grabbed Rano's hand behind Aditya's back and placed it in Ranveer's hand.
A loud applaud filled the room. Bani twisted Ranveer and Rano's ear for not telling her that they started dating a while ago. Suddenly the applauding stopped. Bani noticed that all the people were looking at someone behind her. Bani turned around to see the figure of a man in a suit, kneeling in front of her with his head bent.
'Hey Bhagwaan, ab yeh kaun hai!' Bani screamed out loud.
The man looked up. It was Pushkar.
'Bani didie. I know ki humne galat kiya aapse chhupakar. But I love Pia, and I want marry her. Pia will only marry my with your consent. Mai Pia ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hoon didie. Aur mai waada karta hoon ki mai Pia ko khush rakhne ko har koshish karunga. Didie aap joh bhi faisla karenge woh ham dono ko manzoor hoga…..aur…….'
Pushkar did not finish his speech he prepared days ago and rehearsed again and again. He got scared by the look on Bani's face.
'Tu kya samajhta hai Pushkar, ki sirf tum dono hi hoshiyaar ho. Tumhare ilaava ghar bewakoofon se bhara para hai.' Bani said in a strict voice, with anger visible on her face.
Bani walked up to Tarun and Karuna leaving Pushkar behind who was still kneeling down.
Tarun and Karuna were smiling at Bani. Tarun said: 'Bani, she is hiding behind me. I think both of them are scared. Kyu na inka darr mitade? Dekho na kya haalat hai dono ki.'
Bani left the room and walked up to her bedroom. After a while she came back with a small velvet box. Bani called Pushkar to come near her. Tarun was also holding a small box in his hands.
'Maine pehle hi se uncle aur aunty se baat kar li thi princess. Do you want to get engaged now or at another function?' Bani asked. Bani knew about Pia and Pushkar's relationship. Karuna and Tarun came up to here before she left for London to ask for Pia's hand.
Again a loud applaud filled the room. Pia and Pushkar got engaged.
After Pia and Pushkar's engamgement Jigyasa gave Ranveer a ring to put on Rano's finger. Bani removed her chain and took of her father's ring which she wore as a pendent. It turned into Ranveer's engagement ring. He did not want another one, when Bani asked him if he would like a real engagement ring.
The man standing next to the bar had a huge grin on his face. For a strange reason Mr. Walia was relieved.
A few days had passed since the engagement. Ranveer returned back to Switzerland. He had only come to talk to Bani, and celebrate his birthday with his family.
In the meanwhile the priest came. Neither Aditya and Jigyasa, nor Tarun and Karuna could wait for the wedding, not to speak about the grooms. They wanted to get married as soon as possible. The priest gave a date. In two weeks both Bani's sisters would get married.
Bani was worried about the rituals. How would she do that? How would she manage? Who would give them away? According to the priest she could not do their Kanyadaan because she was not married. She almost wanted to cry when she heard that, but Aditya immediately said he wanted to give Pia away. At the same time Tarun yelled he would give Rano away.
Bani was so touched by their gesture. She hugged bothe of them.
Jigyasa and Karuna were planning away for the wedding. They did not want Bani to pay for anything, much to Bani's displeasure. Thus Bani decided to give the money from her father's life insurance (she saved that to pay for her sisters wedding) to give to her sisters and their husbands as a wedding present.
Working as a PA in Walia industries, Bani saved quite some money. She bought all the presents for the in-laws and the dresses required for her and the brides. She knew her family would be really mad at her, but she had to fulfull some duties as the bride's sister and only relative. There was only had one problem she needed to discuss with the family members.
Bani was still working as Mr. Walia's PA. Mr. Walia was feeling much better and as expected he started working on Monday, although he as acting rather strange when Bani was around.
Bani spent her first week back from London catching up on work she had to do when she was taking care of Mr. Walia in London and making sure Mr. Walia had his medicines and meals in time. The rest of her time she spent looking at advertisements in newspapers and making phone calls for herself. She had to muster courage before she went home on Friday. Bani was expecting a huge scene after she would tell everybody what she had in her mind, and it was not going to be pretty.
