Chapter 35It was well past midnight a car quietly came and stood in front of Walia Mansion, the dark glass was rolled down, security with a torchlight flashed it on the driver, woh aap, maine socha woh pagal, he opened the gate...
In the darkness of the night, 2/3 persons came out, opened the car and carried some goods inside...
+++
Bani was sleeping on Jai's arm, she tried to make herself comfortable, she could hear the chirping of birds, Jai's other arm went around her, she wrapped her leg around him….there was a knock on the door…
Jai made protesting sounds, the knock persisted…Bani darwaja kholo…he pushed her…
Nehi aap kholo mai nightie me hu…
Oh god, bed room me log nightie me hi rehte hai….
Yeah see through hai, only for your eyes, Bani pushed him away to get into the covers deeply…
Jai muttered a curse, itna subah subah kaun hai bhai…
He opened the door.....
Happy Anniversary......shouted Rano, Raashi, Aditya, Sahil, Ranveer, Nachiket….
Oh thank you, thank you….Jai looked at Bani, she sat up pulling the covers with her….
Rano and Raashi made Jai sit on the bed next to Bani…Tony brought in a cake with a nice single candle stuck to it, Jai and Bani were made to cut the cake on the bed itself, as rose petals were showered, Jai and Bani fed each other then others too, Jigyasa came to hand over her presents, she kissed her brother and hugged Bani, others too followed suite, Meera came in with a rose bud for each…sorry I was not aware….
Never mind Meera, Jai replied….Bani kept the bud with other presents…
OK Bhaiya aapne Bhabi ko keya diya…
Jai looked a bit selt conscious, maine abhi tak toh liya kuch nehi, waise mera jo bhi hai ussi ka toh hai, maine socha tha I will take her out for her to choose…
Theek hai Bhaiya aap ek kiss de dijiye to start with then we will see what can be done next…
Kiss? Bani squeaked….
Pitwai ge keya, Jai asked
Kiyu don't you kiss Bani, Jai…
Aditya tum bhi…
Why not Jai, anyway as Bani's father like figure I do want to know that my daughter is well taken care….Aditya winked at Bani…
Bani was already red, trying to push Jai away, but he was stronger, quickly got hold of her and kissed her hard on the mouth….the clan clapped….
Very good, now today's programme, you get ready fast fast, Rano instructed, there is a puja downstairs and then breakfast….both of you can go out and have lunch together but be back in the house at 5 p.m. sharp. Raashi will dress you up and guests are invited at 7 p.m…..Aaplogo ko kuch kehna hai….
Can we make change in the programme? Jai asked innocently...
No you cannot....Rano replied sternly...
Tabh keya faida, jo hakum sarkar, if you will leave the room, I would like to wish my wife happy anniversary properly and we will be there in our finery for the puja and the rest...
++
When they came out of their room after 45 minutes and were amazed to see the whole was decorated with colourful orchids, from the stairs to the halls / lobby etc., Bani looked at Jai itne saare phul aur jab hum sone gaye kuch bhi nehi tha,
Yeh Nachiket ka karishma hai Bani Mami, he came late night with his men decorated the whole place throughout the night....Jai was overwhelmed to hear it, here was a man who was wanting to be a part of the family, trying to make himself accepted....
Jai looked towards Nachiket and said 'beautiful' ....Bani went and hugged him...thank you for making me feel special, her eyes were filled with tears....
Anything for you, Bhabi.....
Jigyasa looked at Meera, Meera smiled...
++++++++++
++
Jigyasa got ready, she could not wait for the evening to come, well she had not anticipated that it will take so many months to get rid of the sisters, once Bani is out, Rano will not be too difficult to handle, lekin Bani becoming pregnant was the sole reason why matters were delayed, Jai Bhaiya was looking forward to an heir, lekin chalo woh bala tali and now there are no signs of the same, so getting rid of her won't be a problem, Jigyasa picked up the packet…
+++
Meera gave a last glance at the mirror, well her charm has not weaned off, it did not take her long to win Jigyasa's confidence, Jigyasa wanted a sympathiser, once being the rightful mistress of Walia Mansion, it was heartening to lose out to a chit of girl, a girl half your age, without a proper family status and who was employee of the company at one point of time, her nightly chats with Jigyasa is paying of, Tony had readied the outhouse but now Jigyasa wants to have it repainted, she is even thinking of changing the upholstery….not bad…not bad….if only…..Meera sighed and went out of the room to go downstairs…

The party started with Anu, Rano and Raashi playing three sisters coming from Mt Abu to Mumbai, taking refuge at Walia Mansion, Jai (enacted by Sahil) giving them shelter, Bani offering rent, Jai saying the amount, Jai falling in love with Pia, Pia running away and Bani marrying Jai, Jai throwing out Bani of their room and then Jai falling head over heals in love with Bani, as Sahil danced to the song of Saawariya, Rano playing Bani, gave him coy glances, blushed and basked in his love, just the way Bani did… for the last portion Rano and Sahil pulled Jai and Bani on the floor, when their dance ended the floor erupted in a thunderous applause, thanks Sahil, I never knew you are such an actor, lekin tumne toh hamari ram kahani sabke samne lakar rakh diya…
and a director, added Rano, the whole thing was directed by Sahil, but why not Mr Walia after all it is such an unusual story, such a sweet story…
Yes, I guess at this point of time it does look like it, Jai glanced at Bani, she was still blushing away…
Areh Jai abh Bani ko chhoro hume dance karna hai, mera bhi kuch lagti hai woh, Tarun came and took Bani's hand…
Tarun I don't like your flirting with my wife…
As if I care, Tarun answered…
Mr Walia, may I invite you for a dance…
Yeah Yeah Meera why not as it is my wife has been hijacked….as they went towards the floor, they heard Jigyasa's voice,
aapne ek sweet prem kahani dekhi, keya har prem kahani aisahi sweet hoti hai…nehi na, Romeo – Juliet/ soni-mahiwaal/ laila majnu are famous because their love was not culminated, esahi ek kahani hai…yeh
--MALE--
Main Aur Meri Tanhaai Aksar Yeh Baatein Karte Hain
Tum Hoti To Kaisa Hota, Tum Yeh Kehti, Tum Voh Kehti
Tum Is Baat Pe Hairaan Hoti, Tum Us Baat Pe Kitni Hansti
Tum Hoti To Aisa Hota, Tum Hoti To Vaisa Hota
Main Aur Meri Tanhaai Aksar Yeh Baatein Karte Hain
--FEMALE--
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
Yunhi Saath Saath Chalte
Teri Baahon Mein Hai Jaanam
Mere Jism-o-jaan Pighalte
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
Yunhi Saath Saath Chalte
--MALE--
Yeh Raat Hai, Yeh Tumhaari Zulfein Khuli Hui Hai
Hai Chaandni Ya Tumhaari Nazrein Se Meri Raatein Dhuli Hui Hai
Yeh Chaand Hai Ya Tumhaara Kangan
Sitaarein Hai Ya Tumhaara Aanchal
Hawa Ka Jhonka Hai Ya Tumhaare Badan Ki Khushboo
Yeh Pattiyon Ki Hai Sarsaraahat Ke Tumne Chupke Se Kuch Kaha Hai
Yeh Sochta Hoon Main Kab Se Gumsum
Ke Jab Ki Mujhko Bhi Yeh Khabar Hai
Ke Tum Nahin Ho, Kahin Nahin Ho
Magar Yeh Dil Hai Ke Keh Raha Hai
Ke Tum Yahin Ho, Yahin Kahin Ho
--FEMALE--
O, Tu Badan Hai Main Hoon Chhaaya
Tu Na Ho To Main Kahan Hoon
Mujhe Pyaar Karne Waale
Tu Jahan Hai Main Vahan Hoon
Hamein Milna Hi Tha Hamdam
Issi Raah Pe Nikalte
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
Yunhi Saath Saath Chalte
Mm, Meri Saans Saans Maheke
Koi Bheena Bheena Chandan
Tera Pyaar Chaandni Hai
Mera Dil Hai Jaise Aangan
Koi Aur Bhi Mulaayam
Meri Shaam Dhalte Dhalte
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
Yunhi Saath Saath Chalte
--MALE--
Majboor Yeh Haalaat, Idhar Bhi Hai Udhar Bhi
Tanhaai Ki Ek Raat, Idhar Bhi Hai Udhar Bhi
Kehne Ko Bahut Kuch Hai, Magar Kisse Kahe Hum
Kab Tak Yunhi Khaamosh Rahe Aur Sahe Hum
Dil Kehta Hai Duniya Ki Har Ek Rasm Utha De
Deevaar Jo Hum Dono Mein Hai, Aaj Gira De
Kyoon Dil Mein Sulagte Rahe, Logon Ko Bata De
Haan Humko Mohabbat Hai, Mohabbat Hai, Mohabbat
Ab Dil Mein Yehi Baat, Idhar Bhi Hai Udhar Bhi
--FEMALE--
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
Yunhi Saath Saath Chalte
Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum
(Film Silsila)
Two professional artists acted it out, they performed well was able to make the ladies teary, the men solemn and towards the end of the act as the lights were lowered, the artists left the stage, lights came on, Daksh was standing in the middle holding a portrait Anamika drawn at an angle could be mistaken as Bani…
Iska matlab keya hai….Jai looked towards Jigyasa…
Wohi toh mai aapse puchna chahati hu Jai Bhaiya, iska matlab keya hai….
Tum kehna keya chahati ho Jigyasa……
Aap toh Bani ko apne palko me baitha ke rakhte hai, keya aap jante hai aap ke peeth pichhe yeh ladki keya karti phirti hai…yeh dekhiye iski namune…Jigyasa flunged a packet towards him, some photographs of Bani and Daksh fell out, including the two which were sent to him earlier…Jai calmly picked them up, went through them one by one, put them back in the envelope….
Jigyasa shyaad tumhe yeh nehi maloom that Daksh is not normal, he suffers from depression after his wife Anamika died in an accident, and that portrait which he is carrying is painted by him no doubt but not of Bani but of Anamika, Bani just happens to look like her….
You are right Mr Walia, my bhabi Anamika did look like Bani Auntie, Arushi came forward but then what is Bani Auntie doing with my Bhaiya…
Arushi, I know you had sent me the photographs but I ignored them, though I did trace back from whose no. they had come from and what Bani is doing with Daksh for that you have to ask your tau, inspite of my refusing him, how dare he approach my wife….
You mean to say you prefer keeping your wife under your thumb…
Definitely not Arushi but yes, I hate when anybody takes advantage of her, mai yeh nehi dekhna chahata tha…
Jai Bhai aap bahut bhole ho, aapko keya lagta hai that it was happening without Bani's consent…she might fancy a younger person than you…
Yes Jigyasa di, you are right, she might fancy a younger person, definitely not a mad person…Nachiket came to stand before Arushi, when I saw Bani Bhabi in your house a few days back I was always wondering what was she doing there, Bani Bhabi did not give me any explanation and I knew she was hiding it from Jai Bhaiya too, I did not realise why but I trusted her to come up with an explanation….kal raat ko jab mai iss ghar me ghus raha tha, the security said something, oh aap, I thought ki woh pagal….that set me thinking, maine tumko dekha tha showing Daksh Jai Bhaiya's bedroom from outside and also had seen you with Jigyasa Didi at the coffee parlour near to my shop…maine phone kiya tumhara ghar me and pata laga while Bani Bhabi always maintained her stand that she was Bani, Jai Walia's wife you always instigated him to make him confused about her identity…I know Arushi you are after me, you want to marry me you had made your intentions clear, lekin mai tumse shaadi nehi karna chahata, I saw you giving this packet to Didi, saying you want a favour in return….Arushi I have seen my mother ruin a family, I will not let you ruin it again….
Yeh Purva ki toh mai khabar lungi...Arushi muttered...
Why blame Purva, Nachiket stated I know you and your type aur tum kis kis ka khabar laugi, infact many of your household members and servants have seen how you instigated Daksh, because of you and your father, they did not confront you...
Daksh not used to centre of attention was clutching the portrait and standing with a frightened look, his eyes going from one speaker to the other as if trying to understand what is happening around him...
Jigyasa regarding Bani preferring a younger man over me is an issue why you should bother after all it is for me and Bani to resolve but ek bimar admi ko tumne beech me lake khara kar diya is something very disgusting....
Lekin Jai Bhai, I am your sister....
Jai glared at Jigyasa, Jigyasa knew that look, Jai turned to Arushi, you are not welcome in my house, in my party, please leave....
Suddenly the room went dark, before anyone could understand anything at match stick struck a paper torch was lit and held in front of Bani, dekho Daksh gaur se dekho, Rano said, see her carefully, yeh meri didi hai ki tumhari Anamika, Mr Jai Walia ki patni Bani hai ki tumhari Anamika, theek se dekho socho aur faisla karo...
Bani looked at Daksh, her eyes fluttered, the heat of the fire made her wrinkle her face, Daksh dropped the portrait, raised his hand to cover his face,
AAG AAG Anamika Anamika andar andar, meri Anamika jal gayi, he fainted on the floor...
The lights were switched on, Arushi was horrified to see Daksh lying on the floor, Daksh Bhaiya Daksh Bhaiya
Suraj Randheria walked in, Daksh Daksh..he screamed...Daksh ko keya ho giya he came and stood in front of Bani, for your damn property of Mt Abu tumne mere Daksh ko mar diya...selfish ladki paisa lete waqt toh tumhara haath nehi kapa...
Paisa maine aap se nehi mangi thi, aap ne offer kiya tha....Bani at last opened her mouth
Tauji Tauji, Daksh bhaiya mar toh nehi gaya, heart attack...
Nehi jinda hai, I can feel his pulse Raashi said....
Ranveer, Nachiket, take Daksh to the hospital...Jai instructed...he came and stood before Suraj Randheria, putting his hand on Bani's shoulder, I told you not to do it, result is this, if Bani is to be blamed so are you, yes I know when I rang the caretaker of the the farm house to enquire about Bani, he told albeit unknowingly that you have come to visit Bani, I knew what you are upto...now calm yourself and see what is wrong with Daksh, if it is a shock, well .....
As Daksh was carried away, followed by Arushi and Suraj...
The mood of the party was spoilt...Bani looked at Jai for the first time after the whole drama, his grip on her shoulders told her that he was trying to control is temper....
Bani I told you before tumhari yeh adaat tumhe le dubogi, he muttered, pushing her aside he went towards the study...
Mr Walia Didi bolna chahati thi, I had stopped her....Rano cried out desperately....
You mean to say your Di had called you when Suraj Randheria came to the farm house for help...
Rano bowed her head....
Jai went out picking up the car keys on his way....
Kaha ja rahe ho Jai, Aditya asked....Can I come with you Jai, Tarun said....
No No I just want to be alone for sometime...
As they heard the car leaving the gates, Bani ran up to her room...
Jigyasa looked and Meera and smiled, chalo aisa na sahi waisa hi sahi, the anniversary party has gone for a toss...she thought
Jigyasa next time you wish to take on someone remember bhagwan dekh rahe hai, aur iska jawab tumhe unhi se milega, jab tum rowge you will have no one to console you, Aditya nodded, he knew his words had little effect on her....
Tarun took leave, others followed, the old ladies retired to their room and Meera went and sat in the garden...
