Chapter 32
Ha Ha kiyu nehi Mohan I will ask Tony to keep the outhouse ready tomorrow you can shift her here…
Jai ekbar Bani se puch lete…Aditya said…
Bani dikhe tabh na, kab se dundh raha hu aur waise bhi you know Bani Aditya, kabhi kisi se na kahi hai…

Bani enters the Randheria residence…
At last, Arushi commented…Taiji apki Maharani a gayi…
Bani ignored Arushi's comments…
Bahut tang kar raha hai aaj, tumhe Mr Walia ke saath dekh kar pagal ho gaya…Mrs Randheria could barely hold her tears…
Bani patted her back, chaliye kaha Daksh ke pass chalte hai…
Mrs Radheria took Bani to a room and knocked on the door softly….a gayi, she said…
Suraj Radheria opened the door, he glared at Bani, at last you got time to come…
Keya karu uncle mai busy thi…
This is what I get as return favour….
Aap keya leke par gaye, Mrs Randheria shoved her husband aside, Beta Daksh dekho kaun aya hai…
Tears sprang into Bani's eyes seeing Daksh's condition, hey bhagwan aisa kiyu aap usse bandh ke rakhe hai, she went opening the ropes, by now Daksh was also tired after his hyper activites…
Bahut tang kar raha tha…Mrs Randheria stated...as soon as his hand was free, Daksh caught Bani's hand, he used all his strength to hold her wrist...
Bani looked straight into his eyes….what is your problem she asked in calm voice…
What were you doing with that man, Daksh glared at her, still unable to get up as his feet were tied…
Don't you know who that man his, haven't I told you about him…
I will kill him, you are mine how can you remain married to him…
Bani raised Daksh's face to meet her eyes, I am not a property or item, I belong to myself but that man is my husband and you know very well I am not Anamika, I am Bani and if anything happens to my husband I will not spare you….now do you want me to release you of your confines for not….
Daksh bowed his head….
Let go of my hand, I will open you up but remember to be a good boy…..
I don't like it when you kiss him…
He is my husband so I kissed him, you have already seen us together so why are you creating such a ruckus now….and if you want company of girls, you better get yourself one, I am not free, I already have a man whom I love a lot…
Daksh's arms went around Bani, I want you….Daksh said ….
I think that is enough Daksh, let me go…
If I don't Daksh was now nuzzling Bani…
Well if you don't then don't get upset in case you don't get to see me….Bani raised her knees and kicked him hard….as Daksh doubled up with pain Bani turned to walk past Mr and Mrs Randheria who could not believe what they saw…as Bani went outside the room, Suraj sprang into action…
Tum aisa kaisa ja sakti ho…
Uncleji I can only extend my help upto certain limit lekin uske ageh nehi
But that is not fair you have hit Daksh Bhai very badly, he is lying on the floor…
Don't worry he won't be dead, Bani glared at Arushi and as far as I am concerned I never gave Daksh any illusion nor I want to keep Daksh under any illusion….
Shyaad tum apna karz bhul gayi ho, I think your husband is not aware of your deeds, he was giving me lectures few hours ago but does he know that with my money you brought some time for him…
I kept my house under mortgage with you, aapne yuhi nehi diya…anyway papers de dijiye I will pay up for the mortgage…
Not so fast my dear not so fast….
What do you mean…
Bani Bhabi what are you doing here….Nachiket called out…
Nachiket tum….
I think we are getting late for party, chaliye chalte hai, I had to drop Arushi, got to meet Apoorva too….abh chalte hai….
Ha chalo…
++++
Jai saw Nachiket and Bani entering the party together…
Bani tum kaha chali gayi thi….Well Mr Walia, I wanted to buy something lekin nehi mila, actually pasand nehi aya, so I was on my way back I got to see Nachiket, rest of the way I came with him…
Keya kharidna tumhe…
Bani slid her hand through his arm, something to remember this day throughout our lives…
Kabhi kabhi tum na ekdom bachchi ban jati ho….Jai commented patting Bani palm, a pain shot through her body, she was about to groan then noticed Daksh's fingerprints on her wrist…
Mr Walia aap Nachiket ko introduce kara dijiye sab ke saath please…
Oh yes, lekin tumbhi chalo Bani…
Bani released his arm and wrapped her wrist with her pallu...

Nachiket wondered what was Bani doing with the Randheria's. He was about to leave when Apoorva returned from office, they went to his den for a chat,Nachiket informed him about the drama in the afternoon with AD, Apoorva congratulated him for his new found family, as Nachiket took leave and was about to go out he heard Bani and Suraj Randheria's voice….Nachiket knew Suraj had a foul temper, infact the whole house was scarred to his temper and his ruthless attitude at times, he had mellowed down considerably after Daksh's illness but nevertheless it did erupt from time to time….in the car Bani requested Nachiket that she will explain everything to him but not to inform Jai Walia anything about where he has found her….abhi unko jara enjoy karne dete hai, after all he had a long day, I will inform him later…Nachiket agreed..
+++
The persistant ringing of his phone woke Jai up, Yeah he barked on the phone….what… he sat up….O.k. I see…yes incase you need any help phone kar dena….
As Jai disconnected the phone, he looked at his mobile, he still couldn't believe he heard it right, he looked at his watch it was 4 in the morning, just about 12 hours ago things were very different and now Jai got down from his bed to go to the toilet, on returning he went and stood in front of the window, good god he could still hear his voice…Walia do you concede defeat….
Keya baath hai Mr Walia, Bani sat up…keya huwa shayaad maine phone ki awaaz suni, kaun tha….
Pushkar…
Pushkar? Pia theek hai na, uski koi khabar, Bani got out from the bed…
AD has committed suicide…
K E Y A…matlab why…
I think he hated to lose, he lost his love, he fought to keep her memory alive and to take revenge, once he came to know he was fighting for a wrong cause, he still wanted to win lekin udhar bhi maat kha gaye who….I think I can understand his mental makeup, I think I would also have done something similar…
Nehi, no please Mr Walia, please don't talk like this, kabhi aisa maath sochna please, I cannot live without you…Bani hugged Jai with her eyes filled with fear and plead, she had no doubt being tremendously selt righteous Jai was capable of doing …
Pagli kahika…Jai held Bani's face between his palms, why should I do anything I like that, I have you, my love with me….tumko chhor kar mai kaha jayunga…
Aisa sochiyage bhi maat…
Jai picked her up and laid her on the bed…we will grow old together Bani…
Bani smiled feeling his face, yes Mr Walia but I must say Pallavi was a lucky girl, aisa pyar karne wala naseeb se milta hai…Jai kissed her inner palm, yes pagal premi…Bani switched off the light, Jai thought he saw a bluish mark on Bani's wrist, it was not there when he made love to Bani earlier in the evening, was it a mark or a shadow…Jai made himself comfortable under the covers, it has been a long day…

Pushkar sat in the police station, AD's body has been taken for postmoterm from the crash side, though the police is saying it looks like an accident, his lost control of his car and crashed into a tree but Pushkar knows it is not so, a man of his ego could not swallow his defeat, could not accept the fact that he has been fighting for a wrong cause, he had been tricked by the woman he loved, Pushkar could not help but feel sorry for AD, a man who wanted everything in his own way, did not realize that there are others who may want some space for themselves….
You are saying there cannot be any fault with the car…the inspector looked at him….
Well it is a machine but most likely not, it was his favourite car, he maintained it well and also knew about its mechanics…
Are you claiming it is a suicide? Or do you think it is a murder?
Who will want to murder him and for what, it has to be either suicide or accident…
Why are you so sure…
I am not sure, little did I know him, my assumption is based on that …
Do you think it might be result of family fued…
I don't know of his family, never met any…
Well here is the list, we have informed them, they are on their way…I understand you resigned from your services yesterday….
I was on one month's notice as per my last talk with AD…
Why did you want to resign?
I am a professional so ….
Do you have an alternative job….if not what were your future plans…
Pushkar soon realized that he was getting entangled in the matter more than he wished to be…seeing no option he made a call to Aditya….briefly explained him the situation…Aditya being a kind man said, don't worry Pushkar since I do not know how police will take it if Jai or I land up but I am asking Tarun to help you, as a lawyer he as every right to assist his client.
The press was having a feast again, what could it have been, has AD committed suicide, was he drunk, the car was a state of the art car, was he murdered who could have murdered him in that case.

After the men left for office, Bani went towards Rano's room, Rano was scheduled to visit the Registrar of Company alongwith Nachiket, she was waiting for Nachiket to come and pick her up…..Rano was putting her laptop in its case, going through the documents when Bani entered her room, keya baath hai di…
I think we have to do something about the mortgage with Suraj Randheria…
I know Di I was thinking about it, specially after coming to know how Mr Walia thinks about your helping Daksh…
Ha Rano aur toh aur he was very upset that we did not inform him regarding mortgage of Mt Abu house…
He has every right, ufff yeh Sahil ek cheej theek se nehi rakh sakhta….Rano was looking for something…
Keya ho giya Rano…
Kuch nehi Di, Sahil I mean….Rano hesitated….
If everything o.k. between you and Sahil...I mean...
Oh don't worry Di, everything is under control only I have married a man who has grown up yet a child, umar ki hisab se bara nehi huwa hai Sahil…no I am not complaining, I have no one to blame but myself as I eloped with him, I think I will cope
Toh di aap keya bol rahe the…yes I will look into the matter, as soon as we stabilize we will sell the shares and ask for the papers back…
Ha Rano jaldi jaldi karo, I don't want to upset Mr Walia any further, I don't want him to know that I have already taken money from the Randheria's behind his back, Mr Walia is such a self respecting man….
Bani Bani, Masi was calling out for her…
Rano tum please dekho what can be done at the earliest...o.k. bye let me see why Masi is calling me...
