Hi friends…yes I'm back with a new ff titled Bin Tere Jeena Nahin… if u hadn't noticed. 😆. I was in two minds about posting another ff…mann kar bhi raha tha, nahin bhi kar raha tha, especially with the way KS is going these days. 😕 I personally think I am mad to be starting one… 😆…but was getting a lot of requests from friends to stop moaning and write something…ab koshish ki hai. 😆
This FF may be a little different from my family entertainer Kitne Door Kitne Paas and I don't know how this one will shape up…so bear with me, will try and make it as entertaining as possible. In this ff…Bani, Pia and Rano are the same as they were when KS started, only difference being that when they moved to Mumbai…they had a place to live and didn't go to Jai Walia for support.
The rest of the characters I will introduce as I go along. Hope I don't bore u. Please do comment I know I am not the best of writers…so plz excuse any mistakes! 😉
Tazoo! 😃

Bin Tere Jeena Nahin
Part 1 Baahon Mein Chale Aao– (my filmi titles are back here too! 😉…can't help it! 😆)
As Bani changed the garland around her parent's photo, a tear dropped from her eye. It had been six months since the sudden demise of her father… and with his death everything changed. Bani together with her two sisters, Pia and Rano, had to move out from their much-loved Mount Abu home and shift into their mother's old home in Mumbai to start a new life. Situated on the outskirts of the city, their new home resided in a quiet and secluded neighbourhood. Unlike their Mount Abu home it was not a large house, but it was fairly spacious for the three of them.
Despite the fact Pratap Singhania disowned his daughter Kiran, after she eloped with Nishikant, and had vowed to never see her again… before dying he left this one old property in Kiran's name because it held sentimental value for her. It was here where she grew up and had fond childhood memories. Kiran never got the opportunity to return to this house due to her ill health so prior to her death…she transferred the house in Bani, Rano and Pia's name.
When Bani, Pia and Rano shifted to their house in Mumbai it was in pretty bad shape, Rano refused to live there even but Bani's assured her that once they clean up…give it a fresh lick of paint here and there…everything would be fine. With Bani's strong will power and determination she had the house looking spic and span in no time. Once the house was sorted…Bani began looking for vacancies for herself and Pia. She found herself a job at a small finance company nearby… having settled in there well… a few weeks later she took up an evening job too, as an evening receptionist at a local hotel. Juggling two jobs wasn't easy but this way money kept flowing in and she could take care of her sisters in the best way she could.
After meeting a few interesting people at her evening job, Bani helped Pia nab a good job too…that too in the city… working in a boutique with a renowned fashion designer. It had always been Pia's dream to become a big fashion designer one day and she thought working with a famous name would help her reach her goal of becoming rich and famous in no time. Working in the city meant Pia would be often be late home, which worried Bani quite a lot, but didn't bother Pia the slightest.
Rano had enrolled into a college in the city to finish off her study. She was doing Business Management and hoped that on completing her studies she could get herself a good job so she could take care of her Bani Didi. Bani meant the world for Rano, after losing their mother at an early age she marvelled at the way Bani took care of her and Pia fulfilling thier every need. She hoped that one day she could do something for her in return too. With Pia getting a good job…she insisted Bani quit the night duty she had at the hotel. Bani wanted to continue it for a while…but both Rano and Pia talked her out of it… as she was already doing too much.
Settling in Mumbai was not easy and had taken a while for Bani and Rano to adjust to the hustle and bustle of city life. Mount Abu was so much peaceful and calm. Pia, on the other hand loved Mumbai from the moment she step foot in it. She had always dreamt of living in Mumbai as she knew this city had all the opportunities and would change her life for the better. It took no time for her to adjust to the ways of this fast city. Whenever she would come home she would excitedly run in the house and tell Bani and Rano about her day…which always seem to be fun for her.
One particular day…Pia came home from work early. She raced into the house screaming at the top of her voice.
Pia: Diiiiiiiiiii….Ranoooooooooo!!!!!
Bani (rushing down the stairs): Pia? Bahut jaldi aagayi? Aur itna chila kyun rahi ho?
Rano (closing the book she was reading): Bani Didi…Pia ko toh chilana ke elava kuch aata hi nahin…
Pia: Oh shut up and listen to me… we have a party to attend to tonight. 😃
Rano (excited 😃): Party??
Pia: Yes my sweet little sister 😃 (hugging her 🤗)
Bani: Kaisi party? Kisne invite kiya hai?
Pia 🤔: Woh …actually…🤔 mein…haan ….i mean…. woh humaare boutique se sab jaa rahe hai…unke (stuttering) …unke.. family members ko bhi bulaya hai...humaare ek client ka janam din hai…toh ek bahut shaandaar party rakhi hai…we have to go.
Rano: Cool!!!! 😃
Bani (softly): Party? Jaana zaroori hai?
Rano: Oh Bani Didi…I know u don't like attending parties…but phir bhi…chaliye na...waise bhi hum kahin aate jaate nahin saath mein…mazaa aayega…chaliye na
Pia: Haan Di...come on lets get ready…dekhiye toh sahi… mein dresses bhi lekar aaye hoon (holding up a few bags)…chaliye dikhati hoon ….(she dragged Rano and Bani up to the bedroom and pulled out all the dresses)….Rano…this light blue gown is for u
Rano: Pia this is very pretty…simple hai… I like it..😊…Thanx
Pia: Arre meri choice bahut acchi hai…u know sab ki personality ko dhyaan mein rakh ke kareed ti hoon…I knew u would wear this. Aur Bani Didi aap yeh wala black gown pehniye…will look really good on u (it was a long gown with a deep V neckline and backless.)
Rano: Whoaa…that's beautiful.
Bani, looked at it but found it a little too revealing from the back…
Bani: Nahin Pia mein yeh…aisi dress…nahin
Rano: Come on Didi…please….aap bahut acchi lagenge..
Pia: Jaanti thi ke aap aise kuch nahin pehnege (hands on hips)…but dekhiye iss gown ke saath ek wrap bhi hai…zyaada revealing nahin lage ga,
Bani: Nahin Pia…I will feel very uncomfortable…can't I wear a saree?
Pia: Oh please Di…aise party main saree?
Bani: Saree mein kya kharaabi hai? Indian dress hai…kisiko kya problem hogi? Phir bhi koi problem hai toh mein nahin aa rahi hoon…tum dono chali jao?
Rano: Nahin Di...aisa mat kahiye…aap ka joh mann hai woh pehn lijiye…mein bhi dekhti hoon aapko koi kya keh sakta hai…muh tod doongi kisi ne kuch kaha toh!
Pia: Whatever….aapki marzi….but I will be wearing this…(pulls out a red gown)…won't I look hot in this? (haan.. jal ka raakh hojana! 😆)
Bani: Tum yeh pehnogi? (noticing the deep neck line and large slit down the side)….Pia...bahut zyaada lamba cut nahin hai?
Pia: Its ok…aisi events par chalta hai…now come on get ready we have to leave in the next half hour.
All went to their rooms got dressed and came out. Rano looked very elegant in the light blue gown and Pia looked very glamorous in the red gown…she was dead sure a guy would fall for her tonight. (we'll see about that 😉) Bani came out wearing a black shimmering saree, with silver bead work and embroidery, sleeveless blouse, a simple pendant round her neck, drop earrings... and her hair left open.
Rano: Wow Bani Didi….u look really pretty. Saree is definitely the right choose for u. (yep thumbs up from me too! 👍🏼 )
Pia: Now if we all done shall we make a move…need to get a taxi and get there fast…bahut door hai yaahan se.
They locked up and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bani, Pia and Rano arrived outside the Grand Hotel Sheridan…as they got out of their taxi they noticed guests lining up at the side entrance to go into the hall.
Bani (nervous): Pia…yeh toh bahut badi party hai…bahut bade log hai yahaan…
Pia, walking in the middle, put her arm around Bani's then Rano's and lead them up to the entrance….smiling. 😊
Pia 😃: Aur nahin toh kya…sab bade bade log hi hai yahaan….(softly)….bas ab kaise bhi karke andar ghus na hai humme?
Rano and Bani: What?? 😲 😲 (stopping)
Bani: Andar ghus na hai? What do u mean Pia?
Pia: Actually…woh….mujhe iss party….mein…(biting her lip nervously)…invite nahin kiya gaya 😕….(starts rambling)… Diii…woh joh Sheila haina… joh mere saath kaam karti hai…god I hate her 😡…well…mujhe sata rahi thi ke usse iss party mein aane ka invitation mila aur mujhe nahin…toh maine bhi thaan liya usse bhi dekha doongi ke mein bhi iss party mein…
Rano: Piaaaaaa!!!!! 😡
Pia: Kya Pia?
Bani: Pia…humme iss party mein invite nahin kiya aur phir bhi tum humme yahaan lekar aye…I'm going home…chalo Rano…
Pia (pulls them back): Rano…Di…trust me we will have a good time…bas ek baar andar
Bani (cutting her off): We will get caught….dekho andar jaane ke liye bhi pass chahiye…which we don't have...iss tarah jooth bol ke humme yahaan tak le aye tum…aur ab jooth bolke andar jaane ka iraada hai
Pia: Relax will u…I will think of something…(she dragged Rano and Bani along…and stood behind a line of guests waiting to go in…Pia..looked around then at the smartly dressed man in front…getting an idea. she started chatting him up.)
Pia: Arre aap? Bahut dino baad aisi party mein aap dekhay diye…uss din bada mazaa aya tha na ek saath 😳 😉 (flirting)
Guy 😕: Urmmm…I can't quite remember which party was this? 🤔
Pia: Aap bhi na acha mazaak karte hai…(punches him lightly..laughs shyly)…uss raat apne bahut sharaab pee thi…😉
Rano, rolled her eyes shut and shook her head, what was Pia doing, she thought.
Guy (thinks 🤔): Sharaab toh mein har waqt peeta hoon...shayad mili ho kabhi lekin yaad nahin aa raha…(goes along with it)…oh yes…its good to see u here…
Doorman (interrupting them): Sir aap ka card?
Guy hands it over whilst still chatting to Pia…then heads in quickly. The Doorman stops Bani, Pia and Rano.
Doorman: Maam aapka card?
Pia: Oh...hum unke saath hai joh abhi undar gaye
Doorman looked confused 😕…Bani kept her head down, Pia was definitely going to get them into trouble tonight….she wanted to turn around and go home but Pia was holding her arm tightly.
Pia (shouts): Hey!!! (waves at that guy) …dekha…woh humaare saath hai.. 😃
Doorman (turns and looks at that guy nodding to Pia): Sorry maam…aap jaaye please.
Three of them went in quickly… Pia felt like screaming with delight 😃 😃…but somehow managed to suppress her excitement and not jump up and down.
Pia: Dekha Di…andar aagaye hum…. 😃
Rano and Bani both sighed…then looked at the other door, where the party was being held.
Bani: Ab udhar jaana hai…wahaan pe do aur khade hai…aur jis tarah se woh humme dekh rahe hai…Pia…tum humme yahaan kyun laye? Bahut ajeeb lag raha hai.
Pia: Don't worry Di…just keep close to that guy and everything will be ok…
As they moved towards the door quickly following that guy, Pia dropped her purse. They walked passed the two doormen when they were busy looking at the other guests. Bani didn't like the idea of gate crashing into someone else's party, but now that they were here she planned to stay for a short while then make a move as quickly as possible.
They entered the grand hall and stood in awe of the sheer size of it. It was beautiful hall… full of guests, men smartly dressed in black suits and women looking glamorous in beautiful gowns and dresses. Couples were on the dance floor waltzing gently to the soft music that was being played live by musicians. It was certainly a dreamy sight. 😍
Pia: Wowwwwwwww!!! What a party…Di…aisi jagah toh hum bas filmo mein dekhte hai…goddddd…kitne amir log honge yahaan…sab high society ke log…(gazing all over the place…spots Sheila, her work colleague, looking her way shocked) Oh look...there's that stupid Sheila 😡…mujhe dekh kar chehre ka rang kaise udd gaya….(waves at her… Sheila turned the other way) …Ha! Soch rahi hogi how on earth I got myself in here…well she just doesn't know what Pia can do.
Rano: Everyone looks so good…aisi party toh maine aaj tak nahin dekhi. Kiska janam din hai?
Pia: Kya pata…hoga koi.
Bani (feeling uncomfortable at the way people were looking at them): Pia humme yahaan nahin hona chahiye…sab dekh rahe hai …sab ko yehi lag raha hoga ke hum aisi party mein belong nahin karte…iss se pehle ke kuch ulta hojaye… chalte hai
Pia: Oh Di…stop being such a scardy cat…kuch nahin hoga…(looks around)…haiiii…kitne handsome men hai yahaan….(her eyes fall on someone)….just look at that guy dancing with that woman in red….wait a minute…he looks familiar…(thinks then remembers)… OH MY GOD!!! That's…that's… Jai Walia …iss sheher ke sabse bade raees…I have seen pictures of him in magazines…I knew he was hot… but in the flesh….godddddd he looks so se*y 😍
The three of them watched Jai Walia as he danced. He was definitely the most handsome man in the party, well built, thick black hair with a tinge of grey, a well chiseled face and the most dreamiest pair of eyes. 😍 Dressed in black suit he looked so smart and handsome that half the women in the hall were staring at him…
Bani: Walia Group of Industries ke maalik na? (admiring him dance)
Pia: Haan Di…wohi…pata hai abhi bhi single hai…(thinks) inke jaisa koi meri zindigi mein agaya toh meri life hi ban jayegi 😍
Rano: Maine bhi inke baare mein bahut suna hai…college ke lectures mein bhi inki baat karte hai...bahut powerful insaan hai…inke Papa ke guzarne ke baad akele Walia Group of Industries ko handle kiya…aur aaj itna bada empire ban gaya hai…kitne kamyaab banne hai. Lekin suna hai inke gussa kaafi kharaab hai…kisi baat pe bigad gaye toh bigad gaye….kaam ke maamle perfectionist hai. Accha Pia…who's the woman he is dancing with? She looks kinda familiar too.
Pia: Herrrr…oh she's Roshni Chopra …I have seen her a couple of times at our boutique…Sheila knows her quite well…ussi ke kehne par toh aye thi yahaan
Jai continued to dance gently with Roshni…looking completely bored. He didn't want to attend this party but his good friend Tarun Sablok…(yes he is here too 😳 😆)….had forced him into coming. He had a busy day at work and all he wanted to do was go home and sleep. If being at the party was bad enough…dancing with Roshni was even worse. Roshni had recently returned from America and was doing whatever was possible in getting close to him.
He felt extremely uncomfortable around her… especially with her hands wondering around his neck constantly. 😡
Roshni: Kya baat hai Jai? Aise ukhdre ukhdre kyun ho? Pehle toh bahut mazaa lete the mere in baahon mein….(runs her finger across his cheek)
Jai: Pehle baat aur thi Roshni…(moving her hand away)….things have changed between us (looking anywhere but her)
Roshni: Oh Jai…ab bhi puraani baat le kar baithe ho...come on… forget it…lets start over. I have said sorry for leaving u …(moving forward to kiss him) can't we get back together…like before?
Jai (moves away 😡): Roshni plzzz…I'm not interested… u asked for a dance I obliged nothing more…I'm going…this party is too boring…bahut hogaya.
Roshni: But Jai…this party is for u… Tarun arranged it for u (holding on to his arm)
Jai: So! If I have to have u down my throat all evening I may as well leave.
(Roshni glared at him angrily. 😡)
Jai moved Roshni's hand away and was about to walk away when something caught his eye over her shoulder. Roshni for a moment got all happy again thinking Jai was looking at her…until he walked straight passed her. (ha! )
Jai stared at the two unfamiliar faces standing near the door…looking all over the place. One in a red dress the other sporting black frames. (black beauty kidhar hai? I hear my readers ask…ab mujhe kya pata?) He knew they were not from any of his regular parties and may well be some college kids sneaking into this party for some fun.
Jai (thinks): Security bhi theek se kaam nahin karti…😡(marches over)
Pia was glancing around when she saw Jai coming her way…her eyes popped out as Jai walked over , frowning. 😡
Pia (whispering): Oh My God!! 😲 Jai Walia humaare…mera matlab mere taraf hi dekh rahe hai 😃 😃..he's coming over…(strikes a pose for him…flicking her hair back…smiling widely 😃)
Rano (panicked): Uh-Oh 😲…kahin pehchaan toh nahin gaye ke hum bin bulay mehmaan hai yahaan pe? Gusse mein lagte hai? 😕 Bahut daant khaani paregi…dhakke maar ke nikaalenge yeh…I think we should go.😕 😕
Bani who was standing behind Pia and Rano…came in between them (here she is! 😉)
Bani (worried): Chalo Pia yahaan se …hum…hum musibat mein aajayenge…abhi chalo…I knew this was a bad idea …come on…please (pulling her arm)
Jai, stopped in his tracks the moment his eyes fell on the petite woman in the black saree….that came in between the girls. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on…. mesmerizing beauty...that just captivated him on one look. 😍 Her face was fair and radiant, void of any make up, just a little kajal under her eye and a light shade of pink lip gloss to her lips. Her silky black hair blew in her face gently as the door behind her opened…she tucked her hair behind her ear and continued talking to the two girls. Jai's heart began beating crazily. ❤️ Jai continued to watch her and noticed how nervous she looked and was trying to convince the other girl to do something. Jai continued walking forward…in a trance. ❤️
Bani looked up and saw Jai Walia walking towards them, she stepped back behind Rano and Pia, just as Jai reached the three of them. She lowered her head…fiddling with her pallu nervously. Attending parties was never her thing and coming to one uninvited was even more unimaginable….but now what? They were surely going be thrown out, insulted or even worse. Rano did say he was known to have a bad temper.
Pia (clears her throat…very confidently): Hi I'm Pia Dixit…
Jai, completely ignored her (bahut accha kiya 👏)…his eyes still on Bani, who was looking nervous as anything….head still bowed
Jai (straight to the point): If u don't mind… would u like to dance with me? (Jai felt odd…didn't even introduce himself...or asked who she was…directly asked for a dance…as if to just get her in his arms 😳 he even forgot about throwing the other two girls out!)
Pia (maha excited): Oh of course…I would love… 😃
Jai (cutting her off): Aap nahin…inke saath dance karna chahta hoon…(puts his hand forward)
Bani looked up and for the first time gazed him in his eyes. They were warm, honest and very dreamy….any woman could get lost in them😍…could get lost in them 😍…could get lost in them 😍….(sowie…that was me! Got a little lost! 😍😆 )
She blushed hard 😳 😳 and began fiddling with end of her saree even more nervously. Pia looked gutted. 😡 "Bani got asked!" she thought. " I mean how…when I look hot and happening" She mumbled under her breath. (that's what u think). Rano, sighed with relief...she had expected him to blast off at the three of them…but things seemed to be ok for now….so encouraged Bani to dance with him
Rano: Didi…jaye na
Jai: Please…I would really like to dance with you…just once (flashing that "to die for smile" 😊)…please.
Bani (softly...lowers her head again 😳 😳): Ji…mujhe dance karna nahin aata
Pia (butting in): Mujhe aata hai 😃…aap mere saath dance kijiye na please (so desperate isn't she)
Jai (ignoring Pia again…to Bani): Dekhiye aap ko dance karna nahin aata lekin mujhe toh aata hai…tumhe guide kardoonga….please mana mat kijiye…aaj mera birthday hai
Rano: Aapka janam din hai?
Jai (smiling at Rano…she came across as a really sweet girl and he was about to throw her out): Aur nahin toh kya…yeh party issi khushi mein toh hai…don't u know?
Rano (feeling stupid): Urrr..
Pia: Happy Birthday Mr. Walia…(thinks)…accha inka janam din hai…pehle pata hota toh inhe impress karne ke liye ek gift le aati…kaash maine Sheila ki saari baat suni hoti is party ke baare mein…mein toh bas yehi sun paye ke bahut shaandar party hai…sab bade log honge yahaan …mujhe kya pata tha ke Jai Walia ki janam din ki party hai…damn! 😕
Rano: Happy Birthday Mr. Walia.
Jai: Thank You …Aggar tumhaari Didi mere saath dance karle toh aur khushi milegi mujhe…waise bhi mein yeh party chhodke jaane waala tha…lekin ab rukne ka mann kar raha hai… 😉
Pia: Di aap ke saath dance nahin karenge…bahut shy hai…aap mere saath….
Rano (cutting Pia off this time): Didi…dance kar lijiye na…itne politely keh rahe hai…bas kuch hi der…
Pia was getting mad now 😡….Jai was adamant on dancing with her Bani Di…and now Rano was encouraging Bani too. She was burning with jealousy. 😡 (and we love to see her like that!)
Bani, looked back up at Jai…who put his hand back out….smiling. 😊 Rano nudged her forward…then she put her hand in his. It was like a jolt of electricity passing through them the moment their hands met. 😳 Bani's heart began to pound when he pulled her close and led her towards the dance floor. ❤️ 😳.
Pia thumped Rano. 😡
Rano: Oww! What was that for?
Pia: Kya zaroorat thi beech mein bolne ki? Di mana kar rahi thi…shayad woh mere saath dance kar lete? 😡 (in ur dreams girl! )(Rano just rolled her eyes and watched her Bani Didi and Jai Walia go.
Bani, stood in front of him…looking clueless…nervous. 😕 She looked around at the other couples dancing…then looked back up at Jai. He smiled sweetly 😊…and came close to her… raising her left hand he placed it on his right shoulder. He then wrapped his right arm around her bare waist, which sent a tingling sensation throughout her body 😳 😳 Bani closed her eyes briefly taking a deep breath. He held her other hand and began swaying to the music gently. Bani's feet began to move just like him…she kept her head down at all times but could feel him gazing down at her. 😳 Why did he want to dance with her, she thought. There were so many women in the hall…why her of all people. She was not even invited to this party …what if he asked who she was? She looked around and saw half the people in the hall looking her and Jai Walia's way. 😳 Someone even started clicking a few pictures too.
Jai just couldn't move his eyes away from her ❤️…her simplicity was alluring. She was nothing like the woman he often came across. She was different, beautiful like a delicate flower. The sweet fragrance that was coming from her hair was intoxicating him and the soft skin around her waist…was creating havoc inside him...making him want to hold her even more tightly. 🤗 😍 Just one look… and he wanted her in his arms….and here she was. He noticed she looked uncomfortable and nervous…so tried to start a conversation.
Jai: Aapka naam?
Bani: Huh? (looked up at him…eyes bright and wide)
Jai felt he almost died and went to heaven when she gazed up at him like that...the innocence in her eyes…😍 😍
Jai (smiling 😊): Naam? Aapka naam kya hai? Aapne abhi tak bataya nahin?
Bani (looked back down at the button on his jacket…very softly): Ji…Bani 😳
Jai (repeated the name in his head a number of times…closing his eyes): Bahut khoobsoorat naam hai…bilkul aapki tarah…(looks back down at her)
Bani (looked up): Huh?
Jai, smiled widely 😊…that was the second time she did that "huh?"…but it was really cute.
Bani, looked back down…feeling very shy with the compliment now. 😳 😳…and the dazzling smile that erupted on his face made her legs feel weak.
Bani : Ji Thank you 😳 😳…ab…ab mein chaloon?
Jai: Kyun? Mere saath dance karna accha nahin laga aapko?
Bani: Aisi baat nahin hai…mein
Jai: Then please dance for a little longer...abhi toh music bhi khatam nahin hua…and I must say u dance very well. (Jai went quiet...seeing the blush creep into her cheeks…then continued) Aapne mujhe abhi tak Happy Birthday wish nahi kiya.
Bani (softly 😳 ):Huh? Oh…I'm…I'm sorry…Happy Birthday Mr. Walia…(looking up at him with a sweet smile 😊…Jai's heart fluttered evern more. ❤️)
Jai: Aapko pata hai aapki muskurahat…ankhon tak paunchti hai…such a beautiful smile. (Bani blushed even more and wanted to run, but just then…)
Roshni (taps on Jai's shoulder): Jai…mujhe chhod ke kis ke saath dance karne lage ho.? (giving funny looks to Bani) Tumhara taste itna kharaab ho gaya hai…koi aur nahin mili tumhare saath dance karne ko?
Jai looked at Bani's face and knew she was hurt by that…she was trying to push away from Jai…but he held onto her firmly. 😉
Jai: Roshni…why don' t u just mind ur own business….or better still…GET LOST! 😡 What I do or don't do should have nothing to do with u. I am enjoying my dance with Bani…tumhare saath toh dum ghut raha tha…ab dil ko araam mila hai. Roshni…just get lost before I say something which really hurts u 😡
Bani, looked up at him surprised at the way he talked to Roshni…he stared back…and gave that dazzling smile again.
Roshni (fuming 😡…thinks): Jai kab tak door raho ge mujhse …dekh loongi…iss do kaudi ki ladki ke aage meri insult karte ho…(walks off in a huff)
Jai: Bani…uss ki baat dil par mat lena…usse aadat hai sab ko bura bhala bolne ki…(changes the subject)….woh sab chhodo…ek baat batenge...aapko pehle kabhi bhi aisi badi parties mein nahin dekha …aap issi sheher ki ho?
Bani started to panic, what was she gonna say. He was asking so politely too…addressing her as "aap" and she was just an uninvited guest…who was a nobody. Bani began mumbling not knowing what to say 😕…she was about to say something when someone made an announcement at that minute and the music stopped. She sighed with relief.
Tarun: Ladies and Gentlemen can I please have your attention please…
Everyone stopped dancing. Jai cursed Tarun under his breath for making the announcement at this point of time…Bani moved away from Jai a little.
Tarun: Can I please ask the birthday boy to please come up front here
Jai (looked at Bani): Aao Bani… mere saath chalo….
Bani (shaking her head): Mein yaheen pe theek hoon…woh aapko bula rahe hai.
Jai: Magar….(he was trying to convince her to come with him… but Jai was cheered and pushed to the front by his friends.)
Tarun (looking at Jai): Yaar…cheer up will u...its ur birthday. Ok I know ur mad at me for arranging this party for u…but come on yaar…kabhi toh birthday celebrate kiya karo…itne bhi budde nahin hue ho abhi...kyun doston?
All cheer and agree with Tarun 👏
Saahil(enters): Happy Birthday Mamaji (hugging Jai 🤗 ) (Ok Saahil is the same character he was in KS when it started off…the duffer. 😆 Flirting type, messing around kind.)
Jai: U made it?
Ranveer (tapping Jai's shoulder): I made it too…Happy Birthday Mamaji. Bas Mom Dad nahin aa rahe hai…they missed their flight in Delhi…that meeting went on longer than expected. Both of us managed to get here though. (Ranveer is nice here…not an evil side to him in this ff 😊)
Jai: Masi aur Dadi?
Ranveer: Woh Dadi ki tabiyat kuch theek nahin thi…toh Masi unka dhyaan rakh rahi hai…she said to tell u to enjoy urself.
Jai was little disappointed…but looked at Bani and smiled faintly. 😊
Saahil: Aur haan Mamaji…this is for u…Anu sent it from Australia…(handing a small giftbox to him) Did she call u? (Anu studies abroad and will enter few weeks time after completing her studies. 😉)
Jai (sounding lost…opened the giftbox to find a watch): Hmmm…she's always the first person to wish me each year.
Tarun: Arre Jai…dukhi kyun hota hai…toh kya hua baaki ke ghar wala yahaan nahin hai…hum sab haina!!! Chal ab ek acche bacche ke tarah apna cake kaato…bhook lagi hai sabko!! 😆 (Jai glared at him)…sorry sorry!!
A large cake was wheeled in on a trolley and put before Jai and guests gathered around him. Jai could see that face slowly disappearing in the crowd…his heart sank. 😔 He quickly cut the cake and was subject to more cheering and wishing. Roshni came upto him, kissed him on the cheek wishing him Happy Birthday….then winked at him with a cheeky grin. Someone took a photo of the kiss, which made Jai's eyes flare up in anger.😡 He threw an angry stare at Roshni then at the photographer…then grabbed Tarun…by the collar! (bechara Tarun 😆)
Jai: Tarun…I don't want that photo published anywhere… u got that? 😡 He just took a snap of me and Roshni and I know it was her plan…kuch bhi kar… but make sure that picture does not get published …varna paper mein teri maut ki headline zaroor chap jayegi… 😡
Tarun: Okay okay…chill yaar…sambhaalunga…chal ab mera collar chhod aur zara apne doston ko do shabd kehdo… sab dekh rahe hai tujhe. (Jai straightened Tarun's collar ..then cleared his throat)
Jai (eyes still searching for Bani…could see a glimpse of her black saree behind some of the guests): Friends…I'd like to thank u all for coming here at this party and wishing me on my birthday…though I don't like parties and felt like punching my good friend Tarun here for arranging one so suddenly like this cuz I really didn't want to celebrate….but for some reason it feels right today… and I would like to thank him for this party…(Tarun sighed)…Thanx. (cuts his speech short as he lost sight of Bani)…friends plz…plz do continue to enjoy yourselves here…aaj lamba speech dene ka bikul bhi mood nahin hai…(laughs)…please enjoy yourselves.
Tarun: Thank god…peetne se waakehi bach gaya…(sighs)…waise bataoge why it "feels right"? 😉 Or am I pushing my luck here? 😆
Jai, smiled at him…and gave him a look to say "can I go now?"
Tarun: Waiter…cake sabke liye cut kardo…plz friends continue to enjoy yourself.
Guests dispersed again…started mingling with one another, some went to the dance floor again as the music began to play again.
Jai, moved his way through the guests…smiling as they wished him. He headed to where he last saw Bani but he couldn't see her anymore. He hoped that she hadn't left…he looked all over…then finally spotted her, standing at the side of the hall looking for her sisters it seemed (who were no where in sight.) Jai sighed with relief and went back over….
Jai: Bani… yahaan kyun chali aaye? Aao na….
Jai held her hand again…tightly😳… and led her to the dance floor again.
Bani: Dekhiye..mein…(trying to free her hand…she wondered where on earth Pia and Rano got to.)
Jai (took her in his arms again…started dancing): Haan toh mein kya keh raha… before we were interrupted…🤔….haan aap kaunsi sheher se aaye ho…Mumbai ki toh nahin lagti?
Bani (gulped…decided to spill the beans…speaking very softly): Dekhiye…I am sorry…humme yahaan nahin hona chahiye…mujhe bahut bura lag raha…woh meri behn Pia ke baaton mein agayi aur iss party mein…mein… humne gatecrash kiya…hum yahaan kisiko nahin jaante…kisine invite nahin kiya…we shouldn't be here…sorry 😔…I should leave…(moves away)
Just then Pia and Rano come rushing upto them.
Rano: Didi…humme jaana hoga…woh aadmi humare peeche para hai…he knows we have gate crashed this party 😕…(looks at Jai)…I'm sorry sir…we…
Doorman: Tum log yahaan ho…chalo bahaar niklo…private party ghus gaye tum log 😡…mein yeh purse lautaana andar aaya aur uss insaan se mila jin ke saath tum log andar aye thi…woh toh tum logo ko jaanta bhi nahin….police ko bula liya hai maine…(grabs Bani's hand)…bahaar chaliye!
Pia: Oh god…police! 😲 (taking her purse off from him)
Bani (with tears brimming in her eyes 😔): Pia pehle hi kaha tha…ab dekho…hum kitni musibat mein…
Jai heard everything and saw the fear in Bani's eyes…he pulled her hand away from the doormans grip.
Jai (to the doorman): Excuse me…in logo ko maine invite kiya tha last minute par…police ko phone kar ke keh do sab theek hai…mujhe yahaan koi hungama nahin chahiye…u got that?
Doorman: Jee sorry sir…mujhe pata nahin tha…sorry Maam sorry Sir. (he leaves)
Pia (sighed): Thank You Mr. Walia…😃
Rano: Thank u Mr. Walia…aap bahut acche hai…sorry for coming to the party like thi…sab iski wajahse… 😡 she told us we were invited to this party…liar! Remind me never to listen to u!
Pia: Oh stop moaning will u …(looks back at Jai) Seen as though u have ended ur dance with my Di…now will u dance with me?
Jai (taking Bani's hand again): Sorry our dance was left incomplete…😉(takes her away again)
Bani just looked on helplessly…he was just taking her wherever…whenever (usski private property joh ban gaye ho! She looked over her shoulder to see Rano grinning ear to ear 😃 and Pia getting rather annoyed. 😡 )
Pia (annoyed): This is not fair!!! Why doesn't he wanna dance with me? 😔 (Pia was about to walk away… when someone approached her.)
Man: Abhoot sundarta… (now I wonder who this is? 😆 )
Pia (raising an eyebrow): Excuse me? 😕
Man: The name is Aparajit Deb…(waving his arms about) such a beautiful girl and no one is dancing with u…bahut galat baat hai yeh…would u like to dance with me?
Pia (ignored him and stared at Jai and Bani…mumbled): Di ko dance karne kyun legaye phirse? Mujhe pasand kyun nahin kiya? (Aparajit haina…pasand karne ke liye! 😉 Tazoo takes care of everyone in her ff 😈)
Aparajit (very politely, flashing that adbhoot smile 😃): Please…I am not a bad dancer, really? (Ab haath itne acche chalata hai…toh per mein toh kamaal ka movement hoga! 😆 )
Pia (sighing): Oh ok….chaliye… (Aparajit led to the dance floor…Pia still looked towards Jai and Bani)
Rano: Arre yeh bhi chali gayi…ab mein kya karoon? (she turned around and stopped a passing waiter…decided on getting herself a drink)
Rano was just picking up her glass…when Saahil rushed passed her...and she spilled some of the soft drink over onto her dress.
Rano: Idiot! Dikhay nahin deta tujhe? 😡 😡(grabs a napkin from the tray and wipes her dress)
Saahil (stops and turns back…gazes at Rano): Haiiii….sach mein dikhay nahin diya…lekin ab aankhen khol ke dekh raha hoon 😍 (checking her out from top to bottom,)….Wow!!!!
Rano (looked up at him angrily 😡): What are u staring at Bozo?
Saahil:You! Your simply gorgeous 😍 Aur yeh joh tumhaari naak (touches her nose) pe gussa joh hai… makes u look rather se*y
Rano (throwing the napkin in his face): Moron!!! (walks off) Bandar kahin ka! 😡
Saahil: Haiii 😍….(goes after her but she disappears amongst the crowd) (arre bahut log hai party mein gum ho sakte hai! 😆 )
Rano was walking and still looking at her dress, when she bumped into Ranveer who ended up spilling his drink over his jacket.!! 😆
Rano (gasped): Oh Sh*t!!! 😲
Ranveer, looked at her…then at his jacket. 😕
Rano: I'm sorry…I…I wasn't looking where I was going …someone spilt soft drink over my dress…aur…
Ranveer: …aur tumne mere upar drink gira diya?
Rano: Sorry. 😔 I didn't mean to.
Ranveer (smiled sweetly at her 😊…chuckled): Look its ok… no harm done…dekhiye uss taraf washroom hai…go wash that off before it ruins ur dress.
Rano: Thank u…aap bhi isse…I'm sorry once again…
Ranveer…watched her go and smiled…with a deep sigh. 😍
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jai and Bani continued to dance. Jai held Bani much closer to him this time and his fingers gently caressed her waist. 😳 His touch was making her feel very light headed. 😳 Bani didn't know why he made her feel this way…it was like she was gonna melt any second. She bravely looked up at him…and found those dreamy eyes staring deep down into her eyes. Her heart flipped ❤️ and she looked back down again…going red in the face. 😳
Jai, smiled to himself…she was such a shy young woman but he knew she was also feeling something for him like he was for her. He moved his head closer to her ❤️…Bani could feel his hot breath on her forehead and felt as though he was going to kiss her any second. Being so close even Jai had the urge to kiss her forehead softly… and decided to do just that…Bani's heart raced…she closed her eyes...bracing herself…. but that very moment the music stopped playing (uss conductor ki toh mein! Kya timing pe music rok diya! )…..and everyone stopped dancing Bani moved away quickly.
Bani (flustered 😳): Mr. Walia I..I… have to go now…bahut der hogayi hai…sorry if we have troubled u here at the party….we shouldn't have come here like this…sor..sorry…
Jai: Bani…
Bani quickly grabbed Pia, leaving a confused looking Aparajit, then pulled Rano just as she came out of the washroom and rushed out. Jai just looked on as she disappeared out the door quickly. It occurred to him he knew nothing else about her just her name…he needed to go after her before she disappeared and he never saw her again. Just the thought of never seeing her made his heart ache. (aur Cinderella ne glass slipper bhi nahin chhoda hai…jaldi jaaaaa!!) He dashed out of the party and ran outside…he looked around but couldn't see Bani and her sisters anywhere. 😔
…to be continued. (only if u want me to! 😉 )
Okay friends… Do tell me how this first part was…interesting ya boring….have I lost my touch? Please do comment or drop me a pm, would love to hear ur thoughts. 😃
Tazoo. 🤗
