Bani thrashed and twisted in her sleep. Beads of perspiration formed on her forehead. She got up startled and switched on the table lamp. She looked about her frightened and turned her attention on the right side of the bed. Her face softened at the sight of her little son sleeping peacefully. She bent down and kissed on his forehead. Not wanting to wake him up she got out slowly from the bed and went to the kitchen to get water. She poured her water and sat down on the stool sipping water. Why was she having the nightmare? Why after years? Is that some kind of an omen? Bani shuddered at the thought. She had enough of her past haunting her. Now she had her three year old boy to take care. Bani shut her eyes at the thought. .......................
She had hated her little boy while carrying him in her womb. She never wanted to see the face of the child. She didn't. She didn't want anything to do with the father of the boy. She feared the child would inherit his looks.
Her fear was confirmed once he was born. Bani refused to see the child. The nurses and her aunt looked aghast. Her aunt Sushma tried to make sense to her. She had brought the child from the nursery and stood before Bani. Bani had turned her face at the sight. She had cried her heart out. Sushma had dismissed the nurse from the room and turned to Bani. 'dekho thum isse Bani…. kitha pyara bacha hein….' She had advanced to her bed with the child.
'Nahin Masi… muje nahin dekhna… mein us aadmi ki bache ka mooh nahin dekhna chahthi……' she shut her eyes tightly.
'Beta thum yeh kya kehrahi ho….. yeh tho thumhara bacha hein… thum isse zara dekh tho lo…..'
The child cried…. And Bani shut her ears…
'Take him away masi… please…….' She had begged.
Masi heard none of her excuses. She brought the crying child to her. Took Bani's hand and placed it on the little bundle.
Bani shuddered. The child stopped crying.
'Dekha thum beta….' Sushma smiled in between her tears. 'kitni jaldi apni ma ko yeh pehchan gayi…..'
Bani stared at the child. Her hand trembled. Masi placed the small boy on to her lap. Bani looked everywhere but him.
''dekho thum Bani……' Masi took her face in hand and forced her on to the boy. Bani felt her heart skip a beat. Her vision blurred with tears. She blinked her tears and looked at the infant. Her face shut at the resemblance. Before she could push him away from her lap the child opened its eyes and looked at her. Bani felt that was the beautiful thing that had ever happened to her in life. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She lifted the boy from her lap and cried unaware of the surroundings.
Since then she had kept him close to her heart.
Bani was snapped out of her reverie as she heard a light foot steps towards the kitchen.
'Mamma…. mamma' the child walked to the kitchen.
'Come here sweetie….' She lifted him and sat him on hir lap.
………………………………………………………………….
Jai Walia the owner of Walia group of industries sat beside his desk deep in thoughts. He had been living in misery for past 4yrs. Did things he was ashamed of. There was no way of getting out of his misery. He deserved to live in misery he did. He couldn't meet his own eyes. He had committed grave sin. There was no way of getting out of it. It has been years since he had slept peacefully.
The knock on the door brought his senses to the present.
'Yes….' He barked.
Aditya stuck his head. 'Jai…. Your tickets are confirmed for Ooty…'
'Jeej…. I am sorry I can't go…..' he said getting up from his desk and facing his stunned brother –in-law.
'Jai ... what in God's name are you saying? You have to attend the function. They had asked you to attend and besides they have been our clients for years.
'yes I know that…'
'I don't want to hear another word… come on man act like responsible owner…..'
Jai shook his head.
'Jai ... Jigyasa is worried about you… she blames herself for your situation. Give her a break for God's sake…. The woman will fall sick any moment….'
Jai looked at the man before him. He was taking side of his estranged wife…. He does have feeling for her.. Then why aren't they together. Jai never could understand their relation ship. His sister was a pig head. Why doesn't she realize Aditya Bali still love and cares for her? Jigyasa was the older one. They had three children. Who lived with Jai in his house with Masi.
'Jai what say? You are going to Ooty right? '
Jai nodded finally. 'When is the return ticket?'
'Not confirmed yet…..
'Okay I'll take care of it……' Jai finally gave in.
'Good it will do you good. The place is beautiful….' Aditya said.
Jai gave him who care's look.
Bani and her son Dhruv had one busy morning. They got up late. Bani was up from her sleep when her maid knocked on the door. She jumped out of the bed Dhruv following her every where. He thought it as a game. He followed her every where from the kitchen to the bathroom. Bani lifted him from the bathroom and put him out side shutting the door. He banged on the door yelling. He knew the game was over and his mom was off to work. Dhruv hated to see her go. He kept banging on the door till she came out.
'Dhruv… behave your self…..' she tweaked his nose on the way to the room to change. Dhruv followed her to the room. 'mamma… I am coming….' He said with finality.
'You are not coming anywhere…. Mamma is going like usual. Dhruv will simply cry like a bad boy and spoil mamma's mood…. Mamma will not take Dhruv again to chocolate shop. Dhruv will be out of chocolate for days…' Bani looked at her little son's face crumble. She very much wanted to take him in her arms and kiss him. She knew if she did that he will not get off from her. Curbing her urge to take him in her arms she gave him a bright smile and said, 'today mamma Dhruv and Janice will go out to McDonalds…'
Dhruv's face cracked into a smile. 'I am loving it….' He said in his broken sentence.
'Me too….' She kissed him on the cheek and left home giving instructions to the maid.
Jai's flight landed in Coimbatore airport. A taxi waited for him to get to Ooty. Anil who had come form his branch office spoke about the office and its staff. He spoke about the company they were going to take over. Jai heard patiently commenting here and there when necessary. They drove to the hotel. Jai was in no mood for sightseeing he had visited Ooty long back with his entire family. He didn't have much interest to do so during his stay.
Jai took hot shower. Had breakfast and got out into the car that was at his disposal.
Bani was surprised at the change that had occurred in her office. The place looked very neat and tidy. All the files that usually left lying on the table were kept neatly on the rack. She walked in studying the place. Bani smiled at Janice who wished her.
'What's happening?' she asked Janice. Janice knew everything and anything about the people and the place.
'Moorthy sir is creating an impression….' Janice smiled.
'Why?' Bani wanted to know. She took her seat next to Janice.
'The mighty man has landed….' Janice laughed.
'Who?' Bani asked her taking the file from the rack.
'The one who is taking over this firm.'
'Doesn't he have a name?' Bani was impatient.
'Oh he does darling…he is from Mumbai and his name is…'
Janice was interrupted by the peon Muthu swamy..
'What is it Muthu?'
'Moorthy sir wants to see you….'
Janice excused and left to the manager's cabin.
Bani returned to her work. Janice returned after few minutes and got busy.
The time went by.
Bani and Janice looked up at the chaos out side the building.
Bani and Janice exchanged glances.
Janice face broke in to a smile. I think he is landed….' She got up from the seat pulling Bani with her.
'You go ahead Janice… I'll be in a minute…'
Janice left her side. Bani saw the staff walking hurriedly to welcome the mighty pan Janice has conveniently put it. Bani smiled at the thought.
Bani shut the file and got up from her seat as the foot steps approached inside the building. She heard Moorthy sir explaining about their current situation. One look at the person who walked his head held high with the crowd took her breath away. Bani turned her face away from the crowd clutching the table tightly. She feared her feet wouldn't support her. It could be any moment and she would be a spectacle for every one in the room. She slowly pulled the chair and sat down wiping the sweat with her clammy hand.
Bani heard them march towards Moorthy sir's cabin. The staff crowded around the small room. She wanted to get out of there. She looked about her took her hand bag and headed to the exit.
