Hi I am here early this week to do my weekly update. I don't know if I will be able to fit another one in...

Thank you so much for the wondeful feedback.

Happy Reading.

Chapter 48

"Bani" Jai called out seeing her standing in the doorway of the nursery. "Kya kar rahi ho?" he questioned.

"I just came to see if everything was okay." She replied.

"It doesn't look any different than yesterday or the day before or even a month before for that fact."

"It looks the same, but to me it looks different each time." She smiled. You want to know what looks different in here. Its every day that I look at it I am that one day closer to see our child in here." She smiled.

"Is there something you want to add or change?" He asked. "We still have a couple of weeks before you are due."

"No everything is perfect." She walked in and looked around. The crib looked amazing the changing table the dresser the bookcase full of books that Rano and Nachiket got for us to read from. The rocking chair was placed by the window looking out to the back yard. The wood flooring with a big area rug in the center matching the color scheme. "Everything is perfect" she repeated placing hand on her round stomach.

"Have you changed your mind on buying clothes yet?" Jai asked.

"You know I won't. I know it's so old fashioned of me to think like this, but I can't help it. I have heard that you are not supposed to buy all these clothes before hand. It's supposed to be bad luck and I don't want that in our lives. Besides it's not like we know if we are having a girl or boy. So why bother."

"Well that just means that someone is going to have to go shopping before we bring our bundle of joy home. Maybe Anu since she loves shopping. On second thought no let's send Rano, Anu will buy the whole store. He laughed. You we could have found out if we were having a boy or a girl on our prior two appointments, but you decided against it, but it's still not too late. We still could find out." He added.

"You are to much Jai Walia. I can't believe you, you're acting like a kid on Christmas wondering what's in the boxes." She said making a face.

"Do you blame me" He smiled. "This is the best gift ever."

"Why do you want to know?" Bani asked. "Are you one of those men who want a boy."

"You are just putting words in my mouth, but I could tell you what I am hoping for." He said.

"What" she asked putting her hand on her back?

"I want a healthy child. That's what I want." He smiled.

"That's what I want to, but still you have no preference." She asked. "Like I want a boy." She added.

"I want a girl" he answered back. "Only one of us could be right. Unless we are having twins."

"Jai we both know we are not having twins. The doctor has told us both times that we got an ultrasound that there is only one in there. Just because you keep asking doesn't mean one more is going to appear in there" She joked.

"She could be wrong you know."

"She could be, but I don't think she is." Bani said.

Jai looks Bani over. "I don't know, I think you could be holding two in there."

"Aah. What are you trying to say that I look fat enough to carry two? How could you be so cruel?" Bani was shocked.

"I didn't say you were fat. I was just thinking that if the baby went on you there could be two since you are so petite and if the baby went on me then there is only one since I am so big and round." He justified himself.

"I am sure I don't look very petite right now and you are not big and round." She added. "You are perfect just the way you are."

"So you think I am perfect." He smiled.

"Oh get over yourself." She said.

"Ok on a serious note" He walked Bani over to the rocking chair and had her sit while he leaned up against the wall beside her.

"What is it." she asked.

"I have noticed that have been so particular about what you want and what you don't want done from the family. You even told Mausi that you didn't want a big Godh Barhai. So we had something really small at the house. I just don't want you to think that there isn't enough being done or something is being overlooked."

"Jai everything has been perfect. I couldn't be happier. I loved the ceremony at home. It was exactly what I wanted. The people that mean the most to me were here with me. I don't need those expensive gifts that people bring on occasions like this. We have everything we need right here."

"So what was the main reason why you didn't want a lot of people here? I know you enough Bani to realize there is more to it." he asked kneeling down beside her.

"The less people you have the less drama you have." She replied.

"How so." He asked.

"I know that your sister wanted to go all out because she just needs a reason to invite her friends and show off, but I wasn't going to give her that reason. To sum it up." Taking a long pause she continued. "Mein nahin chahti thei ki humhe kisi ke nazar lagh jaye"

"Bani" he said holding her hand. "Humhe kisi ki nazar nahin laghe gi."

"I just don't want to take any chances anymore." She replied.

"You can't live in fear Bani."

"I am not living in fear, but there is nothing wrong with being alert of what happens around you. I am due in three or four weeks. We have been through so much in the last year and I don't know if I can handle anything big right now."

"Your just emotional right now Bani. You are eight months pregnant you are not working anymore; you are off your feet most of the time. You are at home with Mausi and Biji and of course Jigaysa. You probably just feel cooped up inside this house."

"No it's nothing like that Jai. I have to admit I enjoy my time at home. Don't get me wrong I loved working and will continue to do so afterwards, but it's been fun staying with Mausi and watching all those Hindi movies I was behind on with Biji."

"Is it Jigaysa?" he asked concerned. "I can change that."

"Oh I can handle her on my own now, with these hormones she is not a problem. Besides you might have a hard time believing this but she seems a lot friendlier lately."

"That's a surprise. Maybe she is up to something. Never put anything past her. I know she is still irritated with you and Rano."

"Maybe, but I guess she better get over it then."

"Does this have anything to do with Rano and Nachiket?" he asked.

"No, why would you think that." She questioned.

"I don't know. You have seen them together. Bani do you realize how serious they are about each other. I have never seen both of them happier. I actually think they might be headed toward marriage. Is that what is troubling you"

"No, not at all. Rano is a very strong person. I have never told her what to do. I will give her advice but ultimately it's her decision what she wants in life. I think that Nachiket will keep her very happy if that is what she decides on. I couldn't be happier for them if they do decide to tie the knot. I do wonder how the rest of the family will react."

"Yeah you and me both." He laughed. "They have kept their relationship such a secret that no one has ever questioned anything. It will be a total surprise when it comes out."

"I don't think anyone will have a problem except Sahil and maybe Jigaysa Aunty. Though I don't know even she might not. Unless of course she will add fuel to the fire by adding other things about Rano and Nachiket."

"You don't worry about that now. We will handle that when we get to it." Replied Jai.

"If marriage is what they want, I just hope they don't get married any time soon so I have time to lose weight. I don't want to look all round and fat like a beach ball."

"You are beautiful Bani." Smiled Jai.

"So you agree that I look like a beach ball." She said making a sad face.

"No I didn't say that" he replied. "Bani what is it?"

"Nothing" She smiled. How can I tell you that I am madly in love with you and I don't want to lose you at any cost? How can I tell you that ek bechanhi se hai jo dil mein behthi hai that something is going to happen and you will be gone from my life forever?

"Are you sure." He asked again. "You know you can share everything and anything with me."

I want to ask if you will ever leave me because for the last months we have lived in this house I have been a wife to you in every respect except one. You have never forced anything on me, never questioned me and now that everything is going great and our child is almost here everything is becoming scary for me.

"Okay then" he smiled. What is bothering you Bani. I know you better that that. What is it that you are not willing to share with me yet tum itni pareshan ho? I hope you are not planning on leaving me. I don't know what I would do without you. My life is going to be so incomplete without you. Things for the last couple of months have been so great, that I even forgot all that had happened between us in the past. I want to get over that and start my life with you and our child.

I have to stop thinking about it. I can't pass up the days that are brining me happiness thinking about what may come in the future. I have been through so much; I should be able to handle any storm headed my way. I am a stronger person now than I was years back. I am more independent than I was before. But there is nothing wrong with being dependent on someone especially my own husband.

"Sir" both of them looked startled at the door to find Tony. "There is a phone call for you from the travel agency, something about your flight."

"Now, I thought that I had handled that before I came home yesterday." Jai sounding agitated.

"Were you going somewhere?" Asked Bani.

"There is a meeting I had to attend out of town but I had cancelled it." He replied.

"Cancelled the meeting, why?"

"I didn't cancel the meeting; I cancelled my flight. I just won't be attending it, because I want to be home with you every day from now on until you deliver." He replied.

"You know that is not necessary Jai. I know how you are about your business matters. You can attend the meeting. Everything here will be fine." She reassured him.

"Bani I am not attending meeting because I can't, it's because I don't want to besides there will be someone there in my place."

"There will, who could possibly take your place." She smiled.

He looked at Tony. "Could you tell them I will call them later?" Tony nodded and left the room. He looked at Bani who was patiently waiting for his reply. "And as far as who is taking my place in the meeting." He paused for a moment. "it's Puskhar."

"Pushkar" she said surprised.

Hi guys. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. I enjoyed reading each one. Your support means a lot. So thanks again.

Here is my weekly update. I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to the feedback.

Happy Reading!

Chapter 49

"Yes Puskhar. I know you are surprised because of everything that happened with all of us."

Surprised is an understatement thought Bani. I haven't seen him since the whole incident about Pia came out. Are him and Pia still together she thought? Maybe he got smart and moved on. "No I am not surprised at all Jai." She said composing herself. "You and Puskhar had a great relationship before we ever came into the picture and little misunderstandings in life shouldn't end those.

"Don't you want to know Bani, why Pushkar works for me and why by now he hasn't killed me by now? Why the sudden change of heart on his part for me.?"

"No." she replied

"No." he repeated after her.

"No, because you haven't done anything wrong." She stated.

"But." He didn't know what to say. Loss for words he just looked at Bani hoping she would say something.

"I know Jai that nothing happened between you and Pia."

"How." He questioned.

"I know in the past you have tried many times to tell me and each time something has come up or I didn't give you the opportunity to explain yourself. At first I did think that you and Pia…" she paused not being able to say the words. "Had a physical relationship, but the more I thought about it the more I knew you wouldn't do something like that. You wouldn't do that to me or our relationship no matter what happened. I guess I was just in denial."

"Bani." he said.

"No, let me finish Jai. I have meaning to tell you this for a long time and I should get it all out." Jai sat there and listened. "I know Pia if there was something really there between the both of you she would have tried her best to be with you she would have tried every tactic in the book, but she just left when you kicked her out and she hasn't come back since then. Her not coming back into our lives has just confirmed for me that nothing had ever happened between you guys."

"Do you really mean that Bani. Do you really believe that now?" Said a surprised Jai.

"You know Jai deep down I had already forgiven you for what had happened. I also knew all along deep down that nothing ever happened between you, but the shock of hearing you confession that day had just tore me in pieces. I think I wasn't just ready to accept that I had forgiven you."

"I know how much it must have hurt you that day on the cliff, when I mentioned Pia was carrying my child."

"It had." She admitted.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be." She replied.

"I am just glad that you came back to me, came back into this house. It meant a lot to me." He stated.

"When I had come back into this house I was thinking it was just going to be temporary, but look at us now we are a family again."

"Yes we are." He smiled.

"Jai when you asked me earlier if something was wrong." She started.

"Yeah" he said.

Leaning forward on the chair she hugged him. "Jai I am so scared to lose you again. I am so scared that the life we have now is going to end. I don't want to lose you."

Putting his arms around her hugging her close. "Bani you are never going to lose me. I am never going to let you go. Nothing is ever going to break us apart again. EVER" he emphasized.

agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho - agar zindagi ho to tere sang
agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle, agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle
agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho - agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho
agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle - agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle
balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa

"I hope not." She said.

"You don't have to hope, know for a fact that you are my wife and you are stuck with me forever." He said. "When I brought you back into this house I told myself I was going to try my hardest to never have you leave again and I meant that. Nothing is ever going to come between us."

ab dil lagta kahi na tere bina - ab dil lagta kahi na tere bina
mushkil hoga jeena tere bina
aa milke wada kar le jab tak doga dam mein dam
saath nahi chodenge chahe kushiyaan ho ya gam
balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa
agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho - agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho

Bani hugged in as tight as she could. "I love you, I love you so much Jai." She cried.

mujhko mili hai saansein tere liye - mujhko mili hai saansein tere liye
khwaab sajaye aankhen tere liye
ab na kabhi toote yeh tere vaadon ka mausam
mere yaadon mein mehke tere yaadon ka mausam
balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa
agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho - agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho

"I love you to Bani. I love you so much. You don't know how long I have waited to hear those words from you again."

jab tak ye duniya ye aalam rahe - jab tak ye duniya ye aalam rahe
pyaar tera is dil mein baalam rahe
mere pyaase dil pe na koi dooja rang chadhe
kam na ho har lamha teri chaahat aur badhe
balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa

Laughing and tears rolling down. "We wasted so much time in doing this, didn't we?" Said Bani.

agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho - agar zindagi ho to tere sang ho
agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle - agar maut ho toh woh ho tujhse pehle
balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa - balmaa balmaa

Wiping her tears. "I don't consider a second I have spent with you as a waste of time. Can I ask you something?" She shook her head in a yes. "Not that I am complaining" he smiled. "But what brought this on. What made you think I was ever going to leave you?"

Bani felt embarrassed now after everything all done and said. "Well, I was feeling kind of insecure."

"Insecure, why" He asked.

"For one we have been living together for months now and have been in the same room and lately in the same bed. You are a man Jai." She looked away feeling her face staring to burn. "What I am trying to say is that."

Jai sat there trying to hide is laughter. Letting her play with words to come up with something. "What are you trying to say Bani?" He asked pretending not to understand.

"Well, it's just that I figured you would want to, I mean it's only natural for a married couple to. You didn't try. I paraded around in skimpy clothes. Umm. What I am trying to say is."

"Bani" He interrupted. "You don't have to say it. I know what you are trying to say. And my reply to that is. Yes it's healthy to have that as a part of a relationship, but that doesn't take over a relationship. What did you think that if I didn't get it from you I would go looking else where?" She looked up into those mesmerizing eyes while he continued. "Know that would never happen. And yes it was hard with you running around here with half of your clothes missing. Now I know why you had gone into that store that day." He smiled. "Do you know how many times I had gone and taken cold showers."

She laughed. "I'm sorry."

"Yeah I could hear the sorry in your laughter. I bet you enjoyed every moment of torturing me." He smiled.

"You know to be honest I did enjoy it at times, until my own response would come through and then it was how do I back out." She smiled.

"Well you know, you didn't have to back out I would have taken care of the rest." He replied.

Bani knew this was not one subject she wanted to discuss. Feeling too embarrassed. "Jai do you remember when we got married." She said changing the subject.

"Which time" he asked. "The first time right, of course I remember how could I forget. I was so cruel towards you. I can never forget in the manner that I had filled your mang, the way I pushed you out of our room, how I treated you and you said nothing."

"Why are you thinking just of the bad things. I do have to admit I was so scared when you noticed it was me and not Pia. I thought for sure you would walk off and leave me sitting there for people to mock me and what had happened that day."

"I could have, but I was to upset and couldn't think straight in anger and Jigaysa didn't help the situation. She pretty much talked me into it, but now looking back it was the best thing she has ever done for me."

"I had never pictured my life with you and that day I was so scared. I didn't think about anything except what was the right thing to do. I knew that we were two different people we wanted different things in life."

"We were different people." He interrupted. "in the sense that your women and I am man, but you know I didn't know who I was or what I wanted until you came into my life. You have completely changed mine."

"And you have completely changed mine." She smiled.

"Can I ask you something Bani? This has been on my mind for a very long time."

"What is it?"

"It's about Pushkar." He stated.

"What about him." She asked.

"Did you love him a lot?" He asked.

"What" She said in shock.

"I know Bani that you loved Pushkar at one time." He said.

"You knew." She said surprised.

"Pia told me when she and Pushkar separated." He confessed.

"What, but no one knew except for Rano." She said surprised. Knowing that Rano would never tell Jai.

"She had mentioned that Rano had told her. I didn't know what to believe since Pia would have done anything to get me back."

"Pia wasn't completely wrong Jai. There was a time when I thought I loved Pushkar a lot."

"You thought." He said confused.

"Yes thought. When I came from Mt Abu I felt like a person who didn't belong in this city. I felt like that odd person in this glitzy glamour world. He made me feel secure about myself. He was always there for me and I think I took that one step further and assumed something else. He saw me as Pia's older sister and nothing more. The funny thing is he did that as brotherly love type of way and I was only seeing what I wanted to see. When I found out about him and Pia I was hurt. But I was happy for him and Pia. They looked very happy. And the longer I thought about it I wasn't in love with him. I didn't even know what love was. I didn't know what love truly was until I was with you. I experienced love through our marriage."

"With all that I did to you, how did you find it in yourself to love me?" He asked.

"You only get upset at the people you love. I know you didn't love me just like I didn't love you when we got married, but our faith and trust that we lost in Pia brought us that much closer and shoved us in the direction where we learned to love each other."

"I guess we both should be thankful to her for leaving that day." He smiled.

"I feel so evil for saying this, but I am so glad that she fled that day as well. Sometimes things have a way of working out for themselves." She smiled.

"Yes they do." He smiled back. "You know though it's too bad that things aren't working out for Pia. It must be hard being on your own. She doesn't have anyone to turn to."

"You mean her and Pushkar aren't together." Bani asked.

"No. What made you think they were?" Shaking his head. "Bani Pia is no angel you should no her better than anyone else. I have been meaning to tell you this for a long time. I know you believe that nothing happened between us, but let me tell you truth so you don't have to assume anymore."

"Jai you really don't have to explain yourself." She said.

"I know I don't have to, but I want to Bani. Pia lied about everything she made everything up. Nothing happened between her and me that night. She drugged me so much that I passed out. Then she made up a story. She's not even pregnant, she never was. When Pushkar found that out he didn't want anything to do with her. He couldn't believe that she would kill their child, but pretend to have one with me just to be with me."

"Wow." Was all Bani could say.

"I think she can't stand that fact that someone else is happier than she is. Did you notice how her and Pushkar only started having problems when we started getting closer. She saw us happy and wanted to be in your place. It's too bad for poor Pushkar. He really loved her a lot and all she did was break his heart. I guess that is what happens when you get greedy. She didn't want to be with me because she loved me like she claimed. She just wanted that wealthy lifestyle. She wanted to live a lavish life and I just happened to be the bonus."

Bani was shocked, but no surprised at what Pia had done, but she was concerned about Pushkar. "So Pushkar is by himself now."

"Yes he is." Replied Jai.

"I am sure he will find is true love one day that loves him for him and not his pocket book." She stated.

"Yes he will find that one person someday. But for now he is happy living with his family that he gave up for Pia."

"I guess now it makes sense why is working for you again. He was really close to you."

"I was really glad he came back. As much as I thought I hated him, I couldn't. To me he and Nachiket mean a lot. They complete my family. They are both my younger brothers."

"I am so happy that you were able to sort things out with him." Bani said yawning.

"Are you tired?" He asked.

"Yeah I get so tired lately." She replied.

"Why don't you take a little nap, you have been on your feet all day today and your feet are swollen too. Look at them" he said pointing to them.

"Yes dear." She smiled. "I will take your advice Dr. Walia and got rest for while." She got up. "Are you coming?"

"No, you go ahead. I have some work to do with Aditya and Pushkar today before Pushkar leaves."

"Oh Pushkar is coming over." She smiled.

"Yes he is and if you want to have dinner with all of us tonight you better get some rest."

"Okay" she smiled and left the room.

Jai walked to the door and before closing it he looked back one more time and thought my family is complete and I am making sure nothing ever comes between it ever again.
