Hey guys thanks for wonderful comment. I love it and hope for getting more of these. I was planning to write on Monday but that day both my parents didn't let me touch the computer and other day I was a bit busy. Sorry If I was late but for u all here is the next part.
The morning sunrays penetrating through the curtains disturbed Bani from her sleep. She pulled the comforter up and went deep inside it but as she realised where she was she jerked out and went to shower half asleep. Nearly after 45 minutes she was all ready wrapped under beautiful red sari, mangalsutra as the only jewellery, vermilion powder adorning her partings and her bangles making sweet noises. She went downstairs towards kitchen. There she saw Masi ordering Tony the head butler of house about breakfast. On feeling someone in room Masi turned back when she saw Bani. Her face lit up with smile
"Are Bani beta kab aae? Itni jaldi uthgae? Jai kaha hain"
Bani went toward her, bend her head to take blessings and said
"Jee Masi aakh jara jaldi khulgae. Aur Mr. Walia upar" Masi didn't let her finish the sentence and send fer to wake Jai up.
Reluctantly Bani went to her room to go to study as she couldn't directly go to study, On reaching their she found no one. She got confused that where he might be but noise of moving paper placed under the glass caught her attention, She opened it.
I am going to Delhi for about one week. Tell masi that had some urgent office work and it will be good for u as well as u don't have to face me for some days.
Your husband
Jai
Bani read the letter and didn't know how to tell masi who was impatiently waiting for her munna and bahu.
"Masi um… je Mr. Walia ka koi important kaam agaya to islia wo Delhi gaye hain ek hapte ke liye"
"Kya. Ye ladka bhi na jab dekho apni marji ka karta hein. Abhi kal hi to saadi hu thi aur aaj use kaam ke liye Delhi jana hain ek hapta k liye kam se kam tuhje saath main ti le jata"
"Are nahi masi its ok Koi jaroori kaam hoga is liye gae honge"
"Tu nahi janti beta, Kaam to hota rahega lekin ye din phir nahi aega aur is samay use hi to tujhe family members se milana hain"
Bani just smile didn't rely anything and slowly slowly all family members came for breakfast. They all cheerfully wished her good morning. She took blessings from the elders and hugged the younger ones. Breakfast was a very cheerful affair everyone talking, asking about her, her family members, Mt. Abu, forcing her to try all the varieties saying that this one is their respective favourite one making her feel comfortable as there is not Jai.
In this way she slowly fit into her new family. Masi as her mother, Jigyasa as her lost sister and Aditya her as brother com father who with his happy go lucky behaviour never let her miss her family. Anu and Sahil were running everywhere shouting mami ye mami wo, Ranveer may be the quite one but cared his mami in his silent way and last but not the least Dadi Aditya's mther was her favourite one with her filmy behaviour.
Every morning Bani would go to the kitchen and see how Tony was preparing the breakfast when one day Masi asked
"Beta tu yaha kya kar rahi hain"
"o kuch mahin masi bas dekhrahi hoon tony ko khana banate huwe"
"Kyu tujhe banana hain. Banana hain to jana andar ese kya dekhrahi hain"
"Om Masi wo" said she very hesitantly "wo mujhe jhana banana nahin aata. Pehele Pia didi banati thi aur unke jane ke baad main hamesha hostel meon rahi hu to"
Her talk got disappeared with the laughter of Masi
"Are pagli agar nahin ata to mujhe batana tha na aese dekhne se thode ata hain. Achha to thik hain ab se main tujhe khana bana sikhati tu. Thik hain"
Bani smiling nodded her head and Masi went inside her room after patting Bani's head slightly. She was enjoying her life here but during night time when she would go to her room she would feel lonely and scared. That was the time she really missed her parents and Jai's picture everywhere made her even more annoyed at him. Jai had just called once home saying that he was fine. Masi had forced him to talk to Bani saying that he shouldn't be shy but as Bani said hello he cut disconnected the phone and Bani had to pretend as if they were talking.
Aditya had told that today Jai would come in the evening and it was already 8 pm. Suddenly the bell rang and Masi very excitingly went to open the door. Bani could only see the back of masi and could find out that he was touching her feet but instead of giving him blessing she pulled her ear.
"Ouch Masi ah! Masi dhukta hain na"
"Dukhta hain to achha hain. Bina bataya kiu chala gaya bechari bahu ko akele chodkar"
On the mention of Bani's name he looked towards her and then only Bani was able to see him but as soon as their eyes met both of them averted their eyes.
"Masi ab to kaan chod do"
Masi freed his ear and he went toward his family member rubbing his ears. He went near Aditya gave him a big hug, then toward Jigyasa and everyone else and it was turn of Bani. Everyone was looking at them intently but he just asked
"Kaise ho?"
"Um Je main theek hoon" said Bani swallowing.
"Khana tayar hain masi mujhe bohut bhuk lagi hain"
"Are mujhe kya bol raha hain apni biwi ko bol. Ab to teri saadi hogae hain ab apni biwi ko pareshan kar" said Masi.
Jai went toward her wrapped his arm around masi, kept his chin on her shoulder and said
"Kabhi nahin. Saadi ho ya kuch bhi mujhe aap ke hath ka khan chahi ye"
"Pagal. Ja andar fresh hoke aa main dinner lagati hoon" smiling she ruffled his hair
Jai ran to his room and masi went to Bani to tell her to go and help him but Bani declined saying that she might need her for dinner. Everybody thought it to be her shy nature but the truth was Bani wasn't still ready to meet him alone though she has been preparing herself for this situation since long time.
Dinner quite noisy where family members were quite happy seeing Jai after whole week asking him about his work, his health and Masi askng whether he had his meal properly on time or not when suddenly
"So Mamu did u miss Mami or noy?" asked Anu.
Jai chocked on his food whereas Bani shifted more on her seat than she was doing for the she was asked to sit near Jai.
"Anu wo tujhe mama kyu bataenge wo to mami ko baad main private main batannge. Kyu mamaji?" asked Sahil.
Jai made no comment whereas Bani blushed with embarrassment, which brought laughter to all of the people.
After dinner time Jai directly went to his room saying that he was tired but Bani stayed as she had some work to finish. Masi had told her to go but she declined it. After sometime when all of them went to sleep Bani slowly made her way to her room but she didn't find Jai there. She got confused first then she went inside the study where Jai was in deep sleep on the couch. It can been seen how tired he was by the he was sleeping deeply on that uncomfortable couch. She went inside the room, brought the comforter, put on him and went to sleep.
Hope u all liked it. Sorry niru dear this time I haven't translated in English as I had no time but next time I will try pakka.😳
