Finding Love... ...

Part 1

He glanced at his watch once again?it was time the airplane landed, he checked the timings displayed on the screen, it was on time?He gingerly arranged the flowers tied in a bouquet he bought while coming, wondering if she would like them or not, incarnations? he liked them, they were pure without any malice, they were harmonious, simple white incarnations?He shortly heard the announcement that the aeroplane had safely landed. He moved a few steps further, escaping in between the throng of people waiting there just like him.

Jai Walia was sure he would recognize her; after all she was a unique personality, which stood out in a crowd, even though he had taken a glimpse of her recent photograph yet he knew she looked much more beautiful in real life than on a lifeless film?

Suddenly his eyes spotted her, singled out in the crowd of people?wearing a pair of jeans and a top, must be her designer label, chatting animatedly?he frowned when he noticed the object she was chatting with so vibrantly?a tall, lanky man, red hair, pale whitish skin, a foreigner no doubt?he was pushing the trolley while bani clung to his arm, a Gucci bag swaying in her other arm? ?

Apprehensively?he took a step forward, waving at her, he encountered her stormy eyes upon recognizing him, at least she hadn't forgotten him, he mused? ?

"Hey Bani?" he called out reaching her in quick steps?

"Hey?" she replied dully?he extended the bunch of flowers towards her?

"I hope you had a safe journey and Welcome home?" he said as he presented them? bani hesitantly received them?

"Thanks jai?" she said?

"Hey I am Jai Walia?" jai greeted the foreigner with a plain smile, not too flashy, not too fake?

"Hey bro?I am Marc, Marc Brown?" marc said gleefully?

"Glad to meet you Mr. Brown...I am sorry I didn't know about your arrival?" jai said shaking his hands?

"Oh!! That's fine?" marc brushed it off?

"Shall we make a move then?papa must be waiting?" jai said?bani flinched as the word papa left his lips?

"Papa???" marc looked at him?

"I mean?Mr. Dixit?" jai clarified?seeing bani avert gaze, he couldn't help but feel awkward?

"Oh!! I am dying to explore India?" marc said excitedly?as they walked out of the airport?

The entire journey back to the Dixit Mansion was only littered by Marc speaking about how much he liked India and how much he wanted to see it? and had literally pestered bani to bring him along with her? ?

By the conversation jai knew Marc was just not a friend of bani?

Nishikant cringed seeing the white man hovering around the house, touching and talking about everything placed in his huge house?this house was personally decorated by his beloved decreased wife and he hated it when anybody touched things which were placed in order?Nishikant simply got up and placed the fresco painted vase in its actual position?bani rolled her eyes?while jai looked amused?

"I am sorry Mr. Dixit?I was just fascinated by its design? "Marc said?

"Kiran liked it here only?" nishikant grumbled?and walked away swiftly?leaving a puzzled marc behind?

"My mother, she had decorated this house, he is a bit sentimental about it?just don't mind?" bani posed a smile?

"It's okay honey?its great how your father still loves your mother?" marc concluded?

"Papa?you are still up?soye nahin?" jai said entering nishikant's room?

"Woh firang aake mere sar par baithega toh main khushi se naachoon kya?I just can't tolerate that bloody foreigner in my house and he and bani?Arrggghhh?" nishikant seemed frantic, ready to rip off the pillow into pieces? jai felt like laughing out loud, no wonder bani had inherited her wild streak from her father, they were so similar in so many ways? ?

"Dawaai?fir BP bad jaayga?no need to over-react?" jai said handing him the tablet and a glass of water, nishikant gulped it in one go, he knew better not to argue with jai? ?

"Over-react?my bani has a boyfriend, that too a firang?and she is keen on marrying him too?bhagwaan ab yahin din dekhna baaki reh gaya tha?" he yelped

"Papa?bani is intelligent?come on they deserve a chance at least?" jai tried to reason out? ?

"I can't believe jai you are supporting bani?" nishikant said exasperated?

"Papa?agar aunty zinda hoti toh shayaad she would have handled this situation better, bani has no mother and usually girls share such things with mothers?you have to be her mother papa?ek baar usse samajh ne ki koshish to kijiye?" jai patted his hands?

"Shayad meri hi glati hain jai?jo usne manga maine jhat se de diya?she wanted to go to hostel then to US to study aur fir she refused to come back?maine usski har baat kyun maani?abhi uska natija dekh liya?I lost my daughter?" nishikant said highly upset?

"Papa?aap aisa kyun keh rahen hain?you know she loves you a lot?" jai consoled him?

"I know?par?" nishikant looked at jai?and sighed?

"Papa?let it be?its already late sleep?kal important meeting hain?" jai said?

"Good night beta?"

"Good night papa?" jai said, switching of the bed-light he walked out?slowly pulling the door close?

He was about to turn around and walk away when he spotted a Bani standing, looking mystique under the dim light of the night0bulb in the hallway? ?

"Err?hm.m?" jai didn't know what to say?

"Mujhe papa se baat karni thi?I will talk to him tomorrow then?let him rest?" bani said passively, by her expression it was evident she must have heard their conversation? ?

"Ya?I hope Marc is fine in his room?if you need anything, please to tell me or tony?"

"This is my house if you forgotten jai?" bani said haughtily crossing her arms around her chest?

"I am glad you still remember that this was and is your house?and it will always remain so?Bani?" jai said, walking away hurt?bani watched him with a cold stare before fleeing off to her own room? ?

Jai fondly looked at the expanse of wall in his room, it was appareled with photographs from his childhood till date?he especially liked the photograph where he was sitting on nishikant's lap and bani on his father, uday's lap, hugging his neck?

He caressed the items kept on the rack attached to the wall, he had stored all his favorite things from his childhood, things he got as gifts from his father and nishikant and many other things? his eyes fell on a blue mug, it was his most loved mug, in which he drank milk every morning without fail?once bani had accidentally broken it into two?and he was upset for days?and then nishikant had stuck it with glue stick and presented him, though he couldn't drink milk in it but he loved it and safe kept it, it had a crease, ruining the look, indicating that it was broken, but that joining line held a sweet memory? ?

If only it was easy to stick relationships? ?he sighed deeply? ?

P.S.: This is anything but breezy, but there will be no long passages explaining emotions and all the poetic stuff?

Agree, I was thinking the exact same thing.😆😆 But it's a cute change. JW caring and nice. 😆 Yuck Dhani, why is Bani with that ginger head?🤢 Please do something about him immediately and bring JB closer. 😳 But I am a bit confused. Does JW address Nishikant as Papa because he is like a father to him or because him and Bani are married?😕 Anyways, great start! Really into the story and can't wait to see how Bani thaws towards JW. 😃

Love,
Dil

Interesting story...bani going out with a firangi😆 Looking forward to the next part

I know jai is softer and bani is a ruthless, but men can be endearing, my dad is very particular about my grandparent's health. It's just jai chooses not to react while bani reacts and then regrets… …

Part 2

Nishikant Dixit and Uday Walia were best of friends; though there was a considerable difference in their social status but they were thick friends form college…Uday was a normal working man, while Nishikant had inherited his father's textile business. Their famous friendship continued to grow strong as the years passed by, they were busy in their respective careers and personal lives but they made it a point to meet whenever possible…

Uday was posted in Rajasthan, for his work, it was when his wife died due to a prolonged disease, when jai just about five years old…By then nishikant's wife was due her delivery after years of waiting to have a child and she also expired a few days after bani was born… it was melancholy coincidence that both the best friends went through hardships at the same time… Uday and Nishikant stood by each other through tough times, as they had no one else to share their pain with… …It was then when nishikant asked uday to move to Mumbai with him and work along with him…as it be better for jai also…uday wanting to get rid of the house which saw his wife's death agreed…

So, two men brought up two children collectively… …time went by and happier times were here again…but as all bad things didn't last, all good things didn't last aw well…Jai was fifteen, a grown up boy and bani a prankster of ten…when uday died in an accident, he was coming back late at night form office, a bit drunk, and a truck hit his car, it was a head-on collision and he died on spot… …that was the breaking pint of jai, he was inconsolable… retreated into a shell, had almost given up on life, missing school, looking lost…but nishikant brought him back to life telling him that it would hurt his father even more if he saw his wonderful son in this condition...that circumstance taught jai a valuable lesson which he would never forget…no matter what Life goes on…and if not for ourselves then one should live for them who loved them dearly… since he lived only for his father and nishikant whom he adored… …

Jai was a very mature boy since young, very responsible and level-headed. Nishikant was always proud of him and at times wished if bani grew up to become like him. But nothing of that sort happen, bani was a spoilt brat form the childhood, the three men, nishikant, uday and even jai fulfilled her every wish, mainly because she was a girl and that too motherless since birth…So, bani got everything she laid her hands on…but she was slowly turning into a stubborn, strong-headed girl. A girl old enough to understand things, she started noticing her father's closeness with jai, they way they spoke to each other, with the fond endearments her father addressed jai…she hated the fact jai called her father papa…Nishikant was her father and her father only, she detested to share her father with an outsider…with age her insecurities grew. She always bullied jai and mistreated him but jai never uttered a single word in response, just because she was his dearest papa's daughter… …

One day hell broke loose when bani was arguing with nishikant rudely, she wanted to go out with her friends for a late night party…jai had tried his best to control the two raging people…but the argument was getting heated…finally bani stormed into her room…the next morning bani came upto to a still angry nishikant stating that she would like to join a girl's hostel in Ooty…

"Bani…Ooty…you have never lived without me beta…" nishikant said surprised by his teenage daughter's decision…

"You can't expect me to live with you all the time…I have made my decision dad…all night I thought about it, may be its better that we stay apart rather than quarreling at every other thing…"

"Bani…please papa can't live without you…" jai had intervened…

"Shut up jai…who the bloody hell are you to poke you long nose…stay out of it…" bani snapped at him…

"BANII" came nishikant's stern reprimand…

"I was expecting it dad, it's always jai…jai…isn't it…stay with your jai…I am going dad…bye…" bani declared and went away…

From then on bani had almost become a removed part of their lives, it was jai and nishikant…it was he who helped nishikant with the growing business and was now handling most of it…it was jai who substituted the void that bani had left in nishikan'ts life and in nishikant jai could only see his father… … Bani after finishing her studies went to US to complete her fashion designing…and worked there…

At times she called home, just to enquire about nishikant's health, she loved her father immensely but was too prejudiced, and she hated the presumption that it was jai whom her father loved more than her…it was true that sometimes extreme of love could drive way everything from us…that was what happened with bani…

It was during her initial days of fashion designing when she met a very charming and handsome Marc Brown, owner of quite popular, upcoming merchandise of designer garments, it was during her fashion show when Marc had introduced himself, offering her an opportunity to work with him as he was completely impressed by the variety of her designs…bani was ecstatic and readily agreed… Suddenly in her lonely life Marc occupied a major space, with the regularity of their meeting related to work and unofficially as well, she felt herself being drawn to his charm and easy-going nature…it came as no surprise when marc asked her out on a romantic date, she without hesitation expressed her liking to him, she felt loved in his presence, something which she always wanted… a love she only possessed…
