Ok here goes my shot at being romantic………..
Mr. Walia has to go on a trip to Mauritius, since it's a business trip he decides to take Bani with him 👏 . While on the plane Bani falls asleep, her head lolls and falls on Jai's shoulder, he is smiles and then rests his head on hers and he falls asleep too 😉 . During the flight his arm goes around Bani and he hugs her, she rests her arm on his 😳 …….the flight attendant looks at them and thinks how cute and sweet they both look together. At the end of the flight as they are about the leave the plane the attendant tells them that they make a beautiful couple and she can see it was a love marriage 😳 👏 .
At the hotel the business meeting is not going as Jai expects it, Bani decides to help Jai and ask to join the meeting, which Jai approves 😆 👏 . She is able to impress his foreign clients and they have come to deal. Jai is so happy that he asks Bani to dinner that night. Of course she agrees.
As she walks in, the music of violins plays softly in the background and the dim lights of the chandelier casts a golden glow on her. She is wearing a baby pink sari with a turquoise blue border that also shimmers in the light of the chandelier 😉 😳 . Bani walks up to Jai and is surprised to find that there is a single red rose on her chair. She looks at Jai with delight, noting that he looks outstandingly handsome in his black tuxedo 😳 . He watches her with a sweet smile and asks her to sit. He orders and when the food arrives, on one of the trays there is a black velvet box on top of hundreds of red rose petals, Bani looks at Jai with surprise 😲 . He gets up and takes the box of the, and goes to the side of Bani, Jai opens the box and gets down on one knee, Bani is shocked to see that inside the box is a beautiful diamond wedding ring set. Jai then takes Bani's hand and places the ring on her finger 👏 👏 👏 .
Jai then says to Bani " You are like a diamond, forever beautiful. To find a person like you is like finding a rare gem. I am so fortunate that I found you. I have always known that you were meant to be mine. You are the only woman for me, in this life and all I pray that I will get you as my partner in all my future births. You are perfect and I love you, now and forever!" Then the gets up and pulls her up gently with him, takes her in his arms and they embrace……both are smiling and very happy. 😉 😳

Ok mine is just an extract..cudnt think of a whole story..
LOVE COMES SOFTLY....
Bani looked at her reflection..She looked almost double her age in the uniform...She was standing in the hotel. She had to take up some files from Jai's Cabin...She prayed Jai wud not b there...She opened the door..Thank Heavens..it was deserted..She searched in the drawer..Where was that stupid file... A slight breeze ran thru the window.and a paper flew out into her hands...She looked at it...It was in Jai's handwriting..She knew it coz she had seen his signatures and statements dozens of times...He wrote beautifully..Ought I read it...She wondered...The paper was smeared..as if by tears...She was just about to put it back..when she heard the door opening...she stuffed it into her pocket..Jai will go mad..if he sees me with his personal literature...Jai glared at her."Wat the hell r u doing in my cabin" ...There you go..its as if just seeing me makes him shout.." I needed the file of the Casablanca Project., It was urgent.." She explained calmly.. He threw the file at Bani.." Now get lost "...It hit her on her face..She felt tears springing up..She quickly stooped down and hid them, pretending to pick up the file...She turned around..and went out..Why was he giving me so much pain for something I didnt even do...
*********
Maybe I am being too harsh with Bani..But I cant help it. Jai thought . Everytime I see her I remember what Pia did to me..all the betrayals, all the pain comes back to me.
*****
Bani shed silent tears…She rummaged her pocket for a piece of tissue…Her hands fumbled on the paper she had taken..She took it out, and stared for a while. It was folded..she opened and read it silently " Pia..What have you done…My tears have dried up, My heart is turned to stone. I doubt each and every loving word spoken to me. I see nothing but pain and grief ahead, Everything beautiful has passed away, Now only sorrow remains"….Bani once again felt her eyes filling up..but this time not for herself, but for Jai..Her little sister had unknowingly broken him, She had scarred him for life…his sorrow overwhelmed her..She wanted to take him in her arms and comfort him..but she knew she could never do that.
************
Jai put on the keys and drove to the beach…His eyes were cold and calm..like the calm after a storm. He drove recklessly , not caring about time or space..only pain in his mind…He didn't see the deep canyon ahead..He just kept on driving. He felt himself plunging into thin air..He closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate..spent and wasted.
******
Bani felt a sword plunging deep into her heart..Jai..In Hospital….He ..no he wouldn't do that …Walia Mansion was shocked..Jigyasa was having hysterics.....All ran towards their cars to race to Breach Candy Hospital. Bani ventured into one…"You..get out…U've brought him to this stage..U …" Jigyasa screamed….Bani could not control the rain of tears that came frm her….She took an auto ..and reached the hospital….
*********
She saw him…lying there so helpless..so vulnerable…She had reduced him to this state…The bed was wet with her tears…She was by his side for 3 days now..He had slipped into a coma…Day n night she prayed endlessly to her God to make him come back…to take her life and give his back….When had she begun to love him so much…His strength..his anger..his passion..his sorrow….his tears…everything was dear to her…everytime he taunted her…she was more deeply hurt than she showed…She had priced the quite time they shared…for one day in the room…when he had quietly taken up the robe she had taken for her…His single glance at her.She valued it more than all happiness in the world…When did she become such a lovelorn bird…She did not know..Everything just fell into place…Now the man that lay before…mattered so much, so much to her than he realized…
***********
He opened his eyes…Where was he…The green walls of the hospital room came to his view….A gentle form lay by his side,,,her head resting on his shoulders…Bani….He opened his eyes wide in surprise…but he knew it all along…He looked at her tear-stained face..her beautiful eyes..that calm and compassionate face…He wanted to say sorry to her and wipe away her tears..and make her forever his…O God..What am I thinking…Suddenly her eyes sprang open..seeing jai awake..she pulled back in surprise…A smile lit her face…He found in her face a deep affection…" Jai….Mr. Walia..when did u…"..Bani called out to Aditya and Rano…..

Jai and Bani Forever
Okay guys, Here is a small romantic story of my kind, Its little bit detailed maybe with all the background information. Anyways, I hope you all like my story.
One fine morning Jai and Dadi are sitting in the living room, As Bani enters the room she hears Jai asking for coffee. So she goes into the kitchen and comes back with coffee for both Jai and Dadi 😊 , When Bani offers coffee to Jai, Somewhere in the corner of his heart Jai feels pleased 😉 to take coffee from Bani, but he does not want to show any sign of his emotions, he is trying hard to detest her and hence gives her an awful look at her and throws the coffee cup shouting who the hell she is to give coffee to him 😡 . Dadi who witness all these goes to Jai at once and says that she is no longer proud of Jai and that her hatred towards Bani has turned him into a monster. And then says that "Bani has every right in this house not only in this house but also on you and in your life. She is your patni !" unable to control her tears she leaves the room.
Jai leaves the room and goes out. On his way to his office he realizes that Bani is infact his wife and that may be he was little mean towards her 😛 😊 and he remembers the day when Bani cooked for his guests, the way she handles her clothes and stuff. He decides to work on his relationship with Bani 👏 .
That night Bani is in her (Jai's room) room cleaning the room and bed and just then Jai comes back from his office, Bani tries to leave the room as Bani is passing Jai he holds her hand, stops her, says 😳 'Bani……..' as sweet as he could, By hearing the word Bani from Jai's mouth in such a sweet manner, her heart starts thumping and has a layer of water in her eyes. Jai looks in her eyes then looks down at his hand, leaves her hand, unable to talk to her just says, " Bani !! …..he wants to express his sorry for his attitude, but his self-esteem stops him. 😳 As he looks into her eyes he keeps his hand on her cheek and goes into restroom. When he comes back, Jai see's Bani sleeping on the floor. He looks at her admiringly and tries to sleep. In the middle of the night, as window is open he hears Bani moving and shivering, he goes to her with his sheets and tries to cover her up, As Jai tries to cover her, Bani wokes up and sees Jai, Jai realizes how deep her eyes are as Bani looks at his eyes where she can now see all the love that is stored in his heart. A small tear drop comes out of her eye and falls on her cheeks, Jai looks at the tear drop and takes it with his lips. 😳 😳 As she senses his lips on her cheek, she keeps her hands on his shoulder, there is this awkward distance between them, he wants to break up this distance and hug her as tightly as he could, she wants to hug him too……. 😳 Realizing how close their bodies are, Jai feels little bit embarrassed and tries to get up, seeing Jai leaving her, Bani gets hold of his shirt tightly, 😳 Jai says " I am not going anywhere." Then his hand met her cheek and his fingers brushed away the remaining moisture. He leaned his head closer and Bani felt that wonderful feeling in the pit of her stomach- a mix of nervesness and excitment. She could feel his intense gaze as their faces are only inches away from each other. Jai whispered "You're so beautiful", They rested for a moment, then he kissed Bani gently twice more ever so sweetly. 😳 And, …
THE END

"Bani, tum itni chup kyu ho? Kuch bolo bhi" said Jai, looking at Bani from the corner of his eyes.
It had been a long night and Jai was extremely tired from the Khanna's party they had just attended. All night, Bani had stayed away from Jai's side, she was distant and aloof and it made Jai angry inside. Now driving down the long dark and deserted road, Jai glanced at Bani and saw that she was looking out the window.
"BANI, tum sun rahi ho?" asked Jai again, almost angrily.
Bani turned towards Jai, stuck out her tongue at him and turned back to face the window.
Smart but shararti, thats what he loved about Bani. Jai laughed outloud at Bani's childish antics.
"Aare baba, kya hua, ab meine kya kiya?" ask Jai
lagtha hai bahut guse mein hai, uff yeh ladkiya bhi thought Jai.
"Gaadi roko" replied Bani
"Lekin Kyu?"
"Meine kaha, gaadi roko!" shouted Bani
Jai stopped the car and looked at Bani. She was looking gorgeous today. He immediately decided that blue sari's looked best on her, expecially when she was angry. A stray hair was on her face and Jai leaned over, about to gently brush it out of the way, when she suddenly got out of the car.
Quickly, Jai got out of the car and ran after Bani, who was walking rather quickly. Jai caught up to Bani and grabbed her hand.
"Bani ruk jaao, baatho kya baat hai?" he turned her around to face him and tilted her chin towards his face. He saw that she had tears in her eyes.
"Hey, tum ro kyu rahi ho?"
"Kuch nahi, kume kya parva", Bani pushed Jai away and turned around, arms crossed over her chest
Jai tighly wrapped his arms around her small waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Her hair smelled like Jasmine and felt soft against his cheek.
"Bhai, agar hamari biwi ro rahi hai, tho sab log mujhe per ungliya utahenge..."
"Jai, hamesh tumari hi soch the ho...kabhi mere baare mein socha hai?"
Jai was reminded of the days when he only thought about his pain and anguish, never once thinking about how much he hurt Bani. He closed his eyes and repremended himself for doing those things. If only Jai could tell her how much more it hurt him when he hurt her.
Jai turned Bani around once again, and looked deep into her eyes. She looked straight back into his and his heart fluttered. He cleared his throat and smiled before he spoke the deep secrets of his heart..
"Main ankhein band karta hun to tumhein dekhta hun
ankhein kholta hun to tumhein dekhna chahta hun
tum paas nahin hoti to tumhein charon taraf mahsoos karta hun"
Jai kept speaking as he noticed Bani blushing uncontrolably under his stare. She was still looking at him and slowly started to smile.
"Ise pyaar kaho, pagalpan ya meri dil ki dhadkan
mere liye aik hi baat hai,
Tum meri ho main tumhein zindagi bhar pyaar karunga
marte dam tak karunga aur uske baad bhi karunga..."
Before Jai even finished Bani looked away and blushed fervioushly. She wiped her tears away and looked back at Jai and before she could stop herself, she reached her full height on her tip toes and gently kissed Jai on the cheek. Jai shivered in delight and then felt the small drops of rain his hand. Both him and Bani looked up and laughed at the hard rain falling on their heads and soaking them through.
Failing to do so, Bani tried to hold her sari and run towards the car when Jai grabbed her hand and pulled her back towards him.
"Let me, my dear wife" said Jai with a devilish grin
With that, he gently picked up Bani as if she were a feather and started walking towards the car. Both of them stared at each other, their eyes, hearts and souls connecting as one.....
I guess good things do happen when it rains....thought Jai, smiling to himself.....

Ok so here is my entry !!! Warning it wont be very good!!!!
Jai is about to leave to go to the office and he realises that Bani is not ready to go to the office and he begins shouting at her😡, telling her that she has forgotten her responsibility and that she needs to be ready for work and if she isnt at work in 15 minutes there will be consequences! He begins telling her that he is not prepared to treat her any differently just because they are married. Bani is about to cry😕 when jai storms out of the house.
A clock is shown hanging from the wall and it is exactly 15 minutes past 10. Bani appears in the nick of time and Jai keeps staring at her.. he is looking deep into her eyes and she is looking straight back at him. They are disturbed by the receptioninst, "Bani, tum yahan? Lekin aj teri chooti hai!" Jais face is shown and he is looking gobsmacked. Bani is proceeding towards her cabin when the recetionist says, "bani tum ghar jasakti ho." but before she leaves she makes sure with jai that she can leave.. "Mr. Walia kya me jasakti hoon?" Then Jai answers feeling bad "haan Bani tum jasakti ho." 😆
After returning from the office he sees Aditya. And then Aditya tells him that bani has made all the food today and did all the work becasue Tony was away and teh workers were on holiday.
Jai feels really bad so he goes and gets drunk. Its late at night and there are colurful curtains blowing in the wind. 😛Bani is sitting on the floor nextt to the bed motionless, her head is resting on the bed and her arm is also on the bed. she has a pretty sari on and she is sound asleep because she is tired form a hard days work. Jai sees her and feels guilty, he lifts her up and puts her on the bed.👏 Just as she is put onto the bed her hand falls onto his and then he stops for a second. he tucks her in and changes into his nightclothes.
he lies in bed and not long later all is black. A spotlight appears and Bani appears under the light.. "Mr. Walia tum kya samajte ho... ke tum mera apman karoge aur me kuch nahin karoongi, me jarrahi hoon, hamesha ke liya. " Jai then realises that all he has is Bani. "Bani rukja" bani turns around and laughs and leaves and then all is black once agin. "Bani " he shouts, and then he wakes up and the nightmare is over. bani is awakened by the shouting. bani begins stirring and it is apparent that Jai and Bani fell asleep on the same bed. After a while bani opens her eyes fully. She then realises that jai must have put her on the bed as she doesnt remember falling asleep there. Jai looks embaressed. Bani being all wifely apolohgises for not waking up early. Jai says its alright as she has done a lot of work, he also comments that the dinner was nice. Bani is seen blushing. Jai gets up and goes inside the washroom, but Bani doesnt notice. She goes towards the window and keep looking out of the window. She can feel Jai holding her waist and his chin on her shoulder and he whispers, "Bani tum bohot kkhoobsoorat lagraheen ho" 😳 and she turns around but there is nobody there. She hits herself on the head for being so silly and goes inside the washroom. There she sees Jai in his vest putting on his shirt 😳 . Bani bursts out laughing and after a while mumbles sorry and leaves the room and closes the door. 😆 JAi comes out smiling and he says sorry there is no lock on the door. Bani is now looking very pretty all dressed up. AS jai is walking towards the bed he trips up and lands on Bani and Bani lands on the bed 😳 Bani can now smell him.. and he can smell bani. He is so close to bani there noses are touching. Millions of things are running through their minds but all you can hear is the wind blowing. They attempt to get up but he falls back down again. Then they get up and are about to leave when Banis mangalsutra is stuck on jais shirt button.😆 Both bani and Jai go to take it out and their hands touch and it feels as though electricity has run through them. They both go to take it out again and see each other and stop. they keep staring at each other and then Bani takes it out. Jai can feel her hand on his cheast😆 they both turn to go in oppostite direwctions but then they both stop and turn to look at each other and they both turn and see eaach other looking and they both turn away shyly.

BY MISTLETOE-
Fan-Fic - Ek Shaam...Pyaar ke Naam!
One day at breakfast, everyone is assembled and only Bani is missing. Billo Mausi asks Jai where is his wife, Jai is clueless and embarassed and tells her that she wakes up much before him and hence he doesn't know where she is. Jigs makes some snide comment about Bani disappearing without telling anyone. Rano is sitting there very quietly, just then Bani is seen arriving inside the hall, with a Pooja Ki Thali in her hand. Rano immedaiately rushes to her and hugs her to wish her Happy Birthday. Everyone is stunned, especially Jai! Billo Mausi chides Jai that he never told anyone that it is his wife's birthday today, Jai is feeling too awkard to say anything...but Bani saves the day by telling Mausi that Jai was the first one to wish her....
Everyone wishes her one by one, even Jigs and Ranveer (though they are very unhappy doing so ) except Jai...because according to everyone, he has already wished her. Bani looks very sad and crestfallen that Jai was the only one to not wish her....
Later Jai leaves for Office without saying anything to Bani....later Bani reaches Office and as soon as she enters her room, she finds a huge bouquet of Red Roses (23 in number...its her 23rd Birthday ) and Bani's gloomy expression changes into one of unabashed pleasure and happiness...as the Card on the Bouqet reads, "Wishing you a lifetime of Health, Happiness and ...Love, Jai!" Then another Card is also enclosed which says, "Would you like to join your "Pyare Pati" for a Dinner at 8 tonight?" Bani is not able to stop smiling and blushing at the same time.....
Bani writes back on the same card, "Your darling wife would be honored to join you for the dinner. But the treat would be from my side." Bani hands over the Card to Mr. Chauhan and requests him to give the same to Jai.
Jai at that time is in a Board Meeting and Mr. Chauhand quietly hands over the Card to him, without disturbing the meeting. Jai at first is irritated and then realizes that Bani has sent the Card and is not able to supress his laughter after reading it...everyone turns around to look at Jai, who is now embarssed and just waves his hand to continue the presentation!
Jai tells Mr. Chauhan to hold on and write backs on the Card, "I have never had a free Dinner in my life...so this is going to be a first in many ways then...." Mr. Chauhan looks perplexed but quietly takes the Card from Jai and then goes to Bani's room to hand it over to him.
Bani is now totally thrilled and is openly laughing after reading what Jai has written and then again writes back, "There is always a first time for everything..." Mr. Chauhan is now wondering what has bitten the Boss and his wife today...
Mr. Chauhan again goes to Jai's room and hands him the Card, now everyone in the room is staring at Jai, who is the colour of beetroot now and just coughs and chokes with amusement and delight...and tells everyone to just go on with the presenation.
Bani is waiting for Mr. Chauhan to come back with Jai's reply and has her back towards the door of her room. Just then the door opens and without thinking, Bani jumps and says, "Mr. Walia ka Card laye..." and the moment she see's Jai standing there with a look of total enthusiasm and amusement on his face, Bani is totally taken aback and is not able to face Jai, who very teasingly tells her, "Bani, aaj lagta hai tumhare paas kaam kam hai..." Bani is all blushing and shy and splutters something and then starts fiddling through her files.....Jai smiles and tells her, "See you at 8 then, Blue Danube, Corner Booth...."
Bani is in her room now, completely confused as to what she should wear and is prancing from one corner to another...just then Mausi drops by and asks her what is the Birthday girl doing tonight and where is her husband. Bani is pretty embarassed and tells Mausi that she is going out for Dinner with Jai...Mausi is very happy and asks Bani, so what is the big deal, you must have gone out with him so many times, why are you looking so anxious and nervous. Bani is confused and then after thinking for some time, confesses to Mausi, that this is the first time she is going out with Jai, she doesn't say anything more. Mausi kind of understands and keeps quiet on this front and then tells Bani to come with her to her room.
Mausi takes Bani to her room and then after making her wait, gets a lovely Pink Saree and some exquisite, antique jewellery to go with it. Mausi then tells Bani that this is her birthday present from herself. Bani is overwhelmed and thanks Mausi, but tells her that she cannot accept such an expensive gift without Jai's permission. Mausi is like, "Arre Chado tum Bahu, ab Jai mujhe bataega ki mein apni bahu ko kya de sakti hoon aur kya nahin?" Bani still looks very hesitant and then Mausi tells her that this Saree and Jewellery belonged to Jai's Mother and before dying, she had handed over her favourite Saree and jewellery to Billo and instructed her to give it to Jai's Bahu, whenever he gets married. Bani now has tears in her eyes and gets choked as she is not able to explain to Mausi that her she is just a Bahu in name and not really Jai's wife (even though their relationship has improved a lot for the past few days since Mausi dropped by!) But Mausi insists on Bani wearing the same Saree and jewellery and really decks up Bani, who looks bewitching!
Jai is shown in the restaurant talking to the owner there very animatedly and discussing some business issue. He has instructed the hostess for the evening that his wife, Bani Walia would be joining him soon and to get her to the reserved table. As Jai is talking to the owner with his face towards the main door, Bani makes an entry. She looks completely different tonight, in a rose-pink, zardosi saree, with her hair left loose, and she is wearing heavy jewellery and very light-make-up. Bani is shown looking confused and her eyes are searching for Jai, whom she hasn't noticed. Jai suddenly glances at Bani and is totally struck by how gorgeous she looks and without blinking his eyes, he keeps looking at her, while the owner keeps talking…..just then the hostess greets Bani and takes her to the table…while Jai is still rooted to the spot, gazing at his wife. The owner then says, "Phir bataie Jai Sahab, kab meeting rak sakte hain?" Jai is completely clueless about what the owner is saying, as the other guy also stares at Jai and again asks, "Mr. Walia….meeting kab kar sakte hain, phir?" Jai is like, "Meeting? Kaun si meeting?" The other guy is now convinced that Jai has gone Cukoo..and says, "Sir, abhi jo mein aap se baat kar raha tha…pur Business plan aapko bataya tha…usi meeting ki baat kar raha hoon.." Jai is embarrassed out of his life and mumbles something about, taking a time with his secretary and now he will take leave as his wife has arrived.
Bani is totally self-conscious and flushing with anticipation of meeting Jai alone. And in order not to appear too conscious, she takes the Menu in the hand and pretends to go through it, but doesn't realize that she is holding it upside down! Jai comes from behind, gives one look at Bani and then at the Menu Card and smiles quietly…and without as much as a word, takes the Menu Card from Bani's hands and places it in the correct position back in her hand and says, "Muhje nahin pata tha ke tumhe ulta bhi pad na aata hai." Bani is totally red in the face and just chokes on her words. Jai comes and sits in front of her (looking his usual dapper self in his black formals) and places his hand on his chins and keeps staring at her with a half-amused, half mischievous smile on his face, and Bani is just not able to face him or even utter a single word. Bani pretends as if she is concentrating very hard on the Menu, but the fact is that she can listen to her heart-beat….she is that nervous and excited! Jai is still staring at her and then Bani unable to bear the whole scenario, blurts out, "Mr. Walia, aap kya khayenge?" Jai is taken aback and then bursts into a laugh and keeps laughing for sometime, making Bani totally embarrassed and flustered now! Bani is now really nervous and manages to ask him, "Maine aisa kya keh diya?" Jai somehow manages to control his laughter and tells her, "Kuch nahin…..kuch baatein aisi hoti hai, ki unhe kehne ki zaroorat hi nahi padti….hamara dil unhe khud b khud hi samajh leta hai…" Bani now down-casts her eyes and is still fiddling with the Menu, Jai keeps staring at her intensely, still the half-amused smile lingering on his face and then very gently keeps his hand over Bani's hand who is holding the Menu. Bani is shocked and really awkward and looks back at Jai, who's eyes are really twinkling with naughtiness now, Bani manages to ask, very softly and nervously, "Mr. Walia…aap kya kar rahe…sab ke saamne…." Jai then grins cutely and tells her, "Arre Menu Card le raha hoon, aur kya kar raha hoon. Khana khane toh aaye hai na?" As Jai is totally enjoying the whole scene, Bani is extremely shy and realizes that Jai is pulling a fast one on her and generally flirting with her (She is obviously very happy but also quite bashful!)
Jai manages to hide his face behind the Menu Card and keeps smiling to himself while Bani is also trying her best to avoid grinning and pretends to look out of the Window and gaze at the Ocean below…
The Dinner is over, its been a lovely evening and as the Steward gets Strawberry Ice-cream for Bani (Jai really teases her for this) and some Liquor for Jai (Bani chides him for having too much alchohol) Jai suddenly asks her, "Oh God, ab batao! Maine toh tumhein koi gift diya hi nahin, tumhare birthday par! Batao kya chaihey tumhein?" Bani who was busy tucking into her Ice-cream looks up and a loving smile spreads across her face and tells Jai, "Jo muhje chahiye, shayad who aap mujhe dena na chahe." Jai is now surprised and tells her, "Aisi kaun si cheez hai, jo tum mangogi aur mein tumhein nahin doonga." Bani has now stopped eating her desert and looks at Jai, without wavering her eyes and asks him, "Maang loo…aap denge…" Jai looks thoughtful for a moment and his lips have a hidden smile and he says in a soft voice, "Maang kar toh dekho…." Bani lowers her eyes and says, "Kya mein aapko, aapke naam se bula sakti hoon…." Bani doesn't look at Jai's face while saying this and Jai's expression is totally mesmerized and intense and he keeps quiet……Bani is now panicky as she thinks that she has spoken too much and that Jai would be upset….she looks up at Jai with worry in her eyes and in a very apologetic tone says, "I am sorry, Mr. Walia…mera matlab…." Jai keeps staring at Bani with the same intense gaze and places the palm of his hand over her mouth and tells her softy, "Jai…..mera naam Jai hai, Mr. Walia nahin…." Bani's cheeks are burning now, and she lowers her gaze from Jai's face as Jai withdraws's his hands from her mouth but keeps looking at her…..
The Dinner is now officially over and Bani looks around to see if someone would come to give the bill, but no one seems to be in sight. Jai is busy throwing cute glances at Bani! Bani then asks Jai very absent-mindedly, "Koi bill dene kyon nahin aa raha hai…." Jai keeps silent and suppress a smile on his face. Just then the owner guy comes and wishes Bani good evening and asks her how did both Mrs. and Mr. Walia enjoy their dinner. Bani is confused as to who this dude is, but in her usual polite manner thanks him and then gives one shy glance at Jai and tells the owner that she has never had a more enjoyable evening in her life….the Owner is very happy and then Bani asks him quite hesitantly that no one has come to take the money for the dinner yet and would he be able to help her out. The owner is taken aback and gives one look to Jai, who is sitting relaxed with his wrists covering his mouth, but his eyes have this immensely naughty look in them. Bani is also pretty mystified and looks at Jai and then at the Owner, who tells her pretty haltingly that, "Mrs. Walia…aap Dinner ke liye payment kyon dengi?" Bani is now totally perplexed and tells him, "Dinner kiya hai toh, payment toh dena hi padta hai na?" The owner and Bani are not staring at one another, both of them befuddled, while Jai is sitting back relaxed, enjoying the whole scenario! The owner then breaks into a grin and says, "Kya Jai Sahab aap bhi, kyon Mrs. Walia ko itna pareshaan kar rahe hain?" Jai keeps smiling in the same fashion but keep quite, while the owner very reverentially turns back to a now totally baffled Bani and tells her, "Mrs. Walia, shaayad aapko pata nahin, aaj hi hamare Hotel aur Mr. Walia ke beech business deal sign hui hai. Yeh Hotel ab unhi ka hai…..I mean aap dono ka hai…toh aap kyon dengi Dinner ki payment." As the owner takes leaves bidding good-bye to both Jai and Bani, she is sitting there totally flustered, as Jai breaks into a bratty laughter and teasingly tells Bani, "Maine kaha tha na tumhien, ke meine kabhi bhi Free Dinner nahin kiya hai…" Bani is now blushing furiously and keeps quiet, as both Jai and Bani take leave, with Jai placing his arms around Bani's waist in a very chivalrous manner and Bani just trying her best to suppress her smile!
As they both go out, Jai is now pretty open and cheerful and asks Bani, "Abhi sirf 9:30 baje hai, shaam jawan hai….aur kya karna chahti hai aap?" Bani who has been unusually quite till now, says in a mock anger tone, "Dinner toh meri taraf se tha….aapne mujhe bataya kyon nahin ki, yeh restarant aapne kharid liya hai…." Jai smiles and says humorously, "Accha, toh is liye ekdum se Chaand par grahan cha gaya hai….." Bani blushes furiously as Jai refers to her as the Moon and keeps quiet as she realizes that she just cannot match wits with Jai! Bani then realizes that they are standing right opposite to Queen's Necklace which is a beautiful spot near Nariman Point overlooking the Arabian Sea! Bani gazes at the Ocean and whispers to herself, "Kitna vishaal lagta hai na yeh samundar…..kitna gehra….." Jai who is leaning back against his Car (He has driven himself today and Bani as usual took an Auto!) looks at Bani and says very softy, "Haan bilkul tumhari aankhon ke jaisa…." Bani is stunned and keeps staring at the Ocean unable to face Jai….whom she knows is looking at her! Jai and Bani share a totally quiet moment and Bani suddenly splurts out, "Mr. Walia….kya hum beach mein chal sakte hai?" Jai is still looking at her but is completely expressionless and quiet and Bani becomes confused and asks again, "Mr. Walia….kya hua…aap chup kyon ho gaye?" Jai keeps staring quietly at Bani and then says, "Tum mujh se baat kar rahi ho?" Bani is now perplexed and says hesitatingly, "Ji…aap hi se….kyon…" Jai smiles quietly and says, "Maine tumhe kaha tha mera naam Jai hai, Mr. Walia nahin…..aur tumnein mujhe Mr. Walia keh kar mera Birthday present mujhi ko wapas kar diya?" Bani is now beet-root red and avoids looking at Jai and says after some time, "Maine pata nahin kya samajh kar aap se aisi baat kar daali…Main aapko aapke naam se kaise bula sakti hoon…" Jai places his hand on Banis' shoulder and she holds back her breath for a second as he places his hand under Bani's chin and turns her head towards him and coming very close to her face, almost whispers into her eyes, "Maangene se pehle soch lena chahiye tha…ab tum nein maang liya aur maine de diya….mein apne diye hue tofhe wapas nahin leta…." Bani almost has her breath in her throat as her face is going from red to redder and the poor girl is hardly able to breath. Jai then lets go of Bani's face and suddenly changes his tone to a casual one and says, "Chalo Beach chalte hai….pata nahin kitne saal hogaye, Beach par gaye hue….Dad and mein dono subah jogging ke liye jaaya karte the….." Jai gets a nostalgic tone in his voice and then taking Bani's hands in his own, walks towards the Beach....😳
Jai and Bani are taking a walk along the beach, the place is unusually crowded for this time of the day! Jai and Bani are standing with their fronts facing the Ocean and gazing at it….Jai then gets a brain-wave and tells Bani, "Paani mein chale?" Bani is astonished and looks at Jai, as if he has lost it and tells him, "Paani mein….but Mr. Walia….I mean….is waqt…" Jai has already taken off his blazer, ties, shoes and socks and is busy rolling his trousers! Bani looks shocked and amused at the sight and instinctively picks up his clothes which he has carelessly flung on the Sand! Jai looks like an enthusiastic child and as he is now busy rolling his shirt sleeves, absent-mindedly asks Bani, "Chalogi?" Bani is suppressing her grin and tells him, "Nahin aap hi jaayiye…meri sari kharab ho jaayegi." Jai gives one saradonic look at Bani and says, "Tum kab se Jigyasa ki tarah baatein karne lag gayi? Sari kharab ho jaayegi?" Bani bursts out laughing at Jai speaking in such a manner for his sister and says that, "Aur koi bhi kapde hote toh mujhe koi faraq nahin padta….yeh sari kuch khaas hai, kisi ne bahut pyaar aur mamta se sanjo ke rakha tha…." Jai is quiet for some time and says softly, "Ma ki di hui sari hai?"….Bani's eyes get slightly moist as she looks at Jai and says softly, "Haan Ma ki di hui sari hai." Jai and Bani look at one another for a moment, and then suddenly Jai says that I am going, you keep waiting here. As a bemused and cheering Bani looks on, Jai rushes towards the Ocean and Bani calls out…"Mr. Wa….Suniye….zyaada andar mat jaaiye…High tide hai….suniye….Mr. Wali….Ja…." Bani is not able to take Jai's first name and she knows that he will upset if she calls him Mr. Walia again.
Bani keeps waiting for Jai to come, he is busy enjoying the waves with some street kids and Bani cannot help smiling continuously at seeing him such a manner! Bani then waves out to Jai to come back, but he is too busy enjoying and tells her to join him, Bani nods her head in disapproval and points out to her Sari…Jai just grins back and makes a funny face, as if to compare Bani's obsession with her Sari to Jigyasa's obsession with all her Sari's! Bani just breaks into a laughter at seeing Jai in such a light mood and then folds her hand and mock pleads him to come back. Jai finally comes ashore, and is pretty wet, his hair is all dripping and he has sand falling all over him. Bani places her hand over her mouth to burst out from laughing loudly. Jai manages to somewhat clear himself of the sand and puts on his shoes ect, but Bani is still holding his blazer and then notices that he has sand left on his hair. Bani tells him that he still has sand on his hair, Jai is still engrossed in seeing the street kids play in the water and doesn't pay attention. Bani just shakes her head cutely and puts her hand through Jai's hair to get the sand out of it…Jai is stunned and looks back at her…and Bani is so embarrassed by the way he gazes at her, that she keeps standing with her hand entangled in his hair. Jai smiles quietly at Bani, who suddenly realizes how odd the whole scene looks and takes her hands off his head and starts walking trying to avoid Jai's gaze! "Arre Nariyal Pani….aap peenge Mr. Walia?" Bani says enthusiastically…Jai just gives her a very cool look and says, "Tum hawa se baat kar rahi ho, Bani?" Bani is embarrassed as hell and looks very uncomfortable and says, "Mujhe kuch waqt toh dijiye…mein aapko ek hi baar mein kaise, Jai bula sakti hoon?" Jai smiles and says, "Abhi bulya toh!" Bani is flabbergasted as she realizes that she just took Jai's name and turns her head to avoid blushing! After a while, as they go walk towards the Car, Bani mumbles softly, "Aap se jeetna mushkil hi nahin, na mumkin bhi hai…." Jai who is busy trying to make sense of his Nariyal, which seems to have very little Pani, says nonchalantly, "Bani, tum mujh se haar kar bhi hamesha jeet jaati ho…aur mein tumse jeet kar bhi hamesha haar jaata hoon…par mujhe who haar jeet se bhi acchi lagti hai…." Bani looks back at Jai and a warm smile spreads on her face, as she takes the Nariyal from Jai's hands and says, "Aap ne Naariyal ulta pakad kar rakha hai….toh paani kahan se aayega…" Jai and Bani both burst out laughing!
As they are inching towards their Car, a downpour suddenly begins and both of them get drenched as they run towards their Car. As Jai begins the ignition, both Jai and Bani say in unison, "Jab bin mausam barsaat hoti hai, toh samjho kuch aaccha hone waala hai…."
Both Jai and Bani look at one another in amazement and surprise as they both said the same thing in the same breath……and a smile spreads over their faces as Jai starts the Car and Bani looks out from her window, putting her hand over her mouth, but not able to hide her eyes from the happiness they reflect!
Jai and Bani drive home, both of them are unusually quiet in the Car, Bani is looking out of the Window at the downpour and Jai is trying his best to concentrate on his driving, but he cannot help stealing glances at Bani, who is twiddling her wet hair with her fingers and looking lost, but with a gentle smile on her lips! Jai asks her offhandedly, "Music?" Bani is disturbed out of her reverie and looks back at Jai, who is busy driving and says softly, "Aapko khamoshi acchi lagti hai?" Jai smiles quietly and says, "Tumhare saat toh khamoshi bhi acchi lagne lagti hai." Bani blushes furiously and turn her head back to stare out of the window, while Jai is openly grinning now! Both of them are again silent for some time, then Jai speaks in a casual manner, "Bani…tum par yeh pink colour bahut suit karta hai. You should wear it more often." Bani turns back and smiles cordially and thanks him. Jai then gets a twinkle in his eyes and says, still without turning his head towards Bani, "Yeh sari ka rang tumhare gaalon ke rang se kitna mel khata hai, jab tum sharmati ho!" Bani is now absolutely red in her face and partially covers her face in Jai's blazer which is still in her hands and after recovering says, "Lagta hai, aapne Cognac aaj thodi si zyada pi li…" Jai breaks out into a guffaw and says, "Excuse me? Tumhein kya lag raha hai, I am drunk?" Bani also breaks out laughing and says, "Yeh toh aap hi ko pata hoga….maine aapko kabhi kisi se bhi aise baatein karte nahin suna." Jai grins in his usual Jai-type manner, shy and mischievous and says, "Hmmm, shaayad tum theek bol rahi hao….maybe I am drunk….magar Cognac par nahi….aaj toh koi aur hi baat hai." Bani is now really flushing and decides to keep quiet and not try and match words with Jai! Walia Mansion arrives and as Jai takes the Car along the drive-way, remarks cutely, "Roz Office se aate hue itni der lagti hai….aaj jab safar itna interesting tha aur safar karne waala us se bhi zyada interesting tha, toh ghar itni jaldi aa gaya…." Bani just smiles and refuses to open her mouth much to Jai's amusement. Jai comes and opens the door for Bani and helps her come out of the Car and both of them walks towards the house.
As they go in, Bani remarks, "Yeh saari lights kyon off hain…..abhi toh sirf 11 baje hain?" Jai and Bani walk in slowly and suddenly realize how quiet and dark the whole place is…Jai speaks softly, "Hmmm, lagta hai sab log aaj jaldi so gaye…accha yeh batao, tum nein apna Birthday present toh le liya….ab mujhe mera return gift milega ki nahin." Bani is glad that its dark, because her cheeks are now a shade of deep crimson and she can hardly breath, leave aside saying anything, but somehow manages to mumble, "Return gift?" Jai comes close to her and says in her ears, "Haan Return gift….wahi joh baccho ki birthday parties mein jaate hue milta hai….you know a G-I-F-T." Bani blushes as Jai teases her and tries to move backwards but Jai holds her by her arms and gets her closer to him, with the stupid blazer in between them, as Bani is still holding it in her hands….Bani and Jai can only see their sillehoutes in the pitch darkness and Jai says, "So, will I get my return gift?" Bani keeps gazing at Jai in the dark and lowers her eyes and is completely silent….Jai whispers, "Kya mein tumhari khamoshi ko haan samajh loon?" Bani is now smiling shyly and without saying a single word, drops the blazer on the floor between them and as a stunned Jai lets go of Bani, she comes forward and takes Jai's face in both the palms of her hands and tip-toeing, raises herself and comes forward to kiss him gently on his lips….but then all of a sudden, the hall is flooded with lights and the whole clan bursts out singing Happy Birthday to You….Jai and Bani instinctively move away and they are both red in the face…..as Mausi, Dadi, Aditya, Anu, Saahil, Rano and the servant's have all gathered together with a huge Cake lit up with 23 Candles……and Bani moves towards them, leaving a grinning and bashful Jai standing behind trying to contain the happiness in his heart and the unabashed smile in his eyes....😊
Love,

~ Dil Ke Bat ~
Okay guys…this is my poor attempt at being romantic – I'm rubbish with romance!!!
So…my story hits off just before Jai's business delegates leave
Guy: Thank you Mr. Walia for having us here…and thank you to Mrs. Walia for the excellent food!
Bani smiles and looks down…Jai also smiles and gives the delegates one final greeting before they leave…Jai turns around, just as Bani looks up…their eyes lock…space and time seems to come to a stand still as she loses herself in his intense gaze…Jai slowly takes a step forward, causing her heart to beat harder and her breathing to become more shallower…suddenly a far away sound brings them both back to reality, and Bani immediately turns away, muttering something about clearing up. Jai watches her with a small smile on his lips as she walks over to the table and starts picking up the plates…she feels his gaze following her and bites her lips, trying hard to control herself from turning around, as she knows that if she becomes lost in his powerful gaze again, then anything can happen. She closes her eyes and breathes a sigh of relief as she hears his footsteps make their way steadily up to his room
***
Jai is in his room and is pacing backwards and forwards…he closes his eyes and an image of Bani, laughing comes to his mind…Jai opens his eyes quickly and runs his fingers through his hair
Jai: yeh mere saath kya ho raha hai? Joh bhi Pia neh mere saath kia, uskeliye meh Bani se nafrath karna chatha hu…usse barbad karna chatha hu…par jabhi uska chehra mere akho ke samne atha hai, tho patha nahi kyu…uske alawa mujhe kuch nahin dekhaye dehtha…
Tensed Jai starts pacing the room again…he takes a sharp turn and nearly bumps into Bani
Bani: I'm…I'm sorry Mr. Walia
Bani moves to the right and starts walking to the washroom. Suddenly she stops as Jai grabs her hand…Bani closes her eyes and tries to control her breathing…slowly Jai brings Bani backwards by her arm and looks at her innocent face, and notices the slight fear as she keeps her eyes firmly shut…he lifts his hands and brings it closer to her cheek…he yearns to touch her, to hold her, to make her his forever, but forces himself to stop
Jai: Bani…
he whispers softly
Bani: huh?!
Bani quickly opens her eyes and is startled to see how close they are, but her heart refuses to move back
Jai: meh thumhe thanks kehna chatha tha…thumne joh kuch bhi aaj kiya…
Bani: it's ok Mr. Walia… Mr.Walia.
That word had so much respect in it…but made Bani sound miles away, when she was barely a few inches in front of him. Jai looked down
Bani: aapko kuch hor bhi kehna tha, Mr. Walia?
Jai looked up at her and gave a small smile
Jai: nahi…thum jao…thakgaye hogi…
He lets go of her hand and watches as her fingers slowly slide away from his own. Was it grief that he felt? He didn't know. Bani walked past him but stopped after a few steps. She turned round and put her hand up to say something, but stopped. Jai turned to face her Jai: kuch kehna tha Bani? She looked down
Bani: kuch bathe kahi nahi jathi…par samjhi jathi hai
She looked up
Bani: Dil se…
For the second time that day, their gaze met again and their eyes said everything. Bani smiled and turned round finally making her way into the washroom. as Jai watched her… a small smile playing on his lips…
Very long, so sorry if any of you guys found it boring!

DO DILON KA MILAN
Its a nice morning and Bani gets ready fast to go to office. While she is leaving Maasi says
Bani tu kuch khake jao, Bani says " nahi Maasi ek zaruri meeting hei mujhe abhi jaana padega".
then she hugs Maasi and leaves. Later in the office we see that Bani is busy in some work and
has no time even to take a short nap. Jai is talking to some business deligates in front of Bani's cabin
and they see Bani busy with her work. The delegates say to Jai that he is very lucky to get a
wife who is beautiful as well as very dedicated to her work. Jai keeps watching at Bani and
turns to them says yes, I am lucky. Then later Jai goes to her cabin and says that its enough for today and
she can go home. Bani just plainly says yes. Outside the office Jai is waiting for Bani in the car,
Bani comes out and looks at Jai and calls for a taxi and leaves. Jai is angry, sad, confused and all.
He just goes behind the taxi. And after they come to home they both enter the walia house and
Maasi says lo yeh dono aa gaye. Maasi seems very happy and excited seeing her Jai says " Kya huva
Maasi aap bahut khush dikh rahe hein". Maasi says "haan beta woh abhi abhi dadi aur mein soch rahe hein
ki kal ek party rakhe. Woh mei toh tumhare shaadi mei nahi aa saki isliye yeh party.( We all know Ekta mai
need not have any occasion to have a party.., Jokes apart). Jai smiles thik hei and says aacha thik hein
jaisa aap chahcte hei waisa hi hoga. And Bani smiles and is walking towards her room and climbing the steps
and Jai is behind her and suddenly Bani cant see anything and faints straight into Jai's arms. Dadi and Maasi
run near them seeing bani faint. Jai keeps saying Bani utho kya huva but she doesnt respond.
Maasi asks munna bani ne kuch khaya hei ki nahi then jai says wohh mujhe pata nahi.
Jai carries bani to the bedroom and keeps her on the bed. Doctor is called and he says that
its just a weakness as she did not eat anything the whole day. the doctor leaves and maasi
is in very bad mood and says to jai that he should take care of Bani, and also tells him not
to make bahu work so much in the office as she also has to take care of the house.( Bechari meri
pyari bani aur kitna kaam karegi). Jai just stares at Bani and also she does stare at him.
Maasi leaves and Jai says Bani tumhe apna khayal rakhna padega. Bani trying to get up from the bed
says woh aaj bahut kaam tha isliye lunch nahi kar saki., then Jai says toh kya huva .
Bani turns to him and says " mei kisiko shikayat ka mauka nahi dena chahti and goes away.
Jai is looking at her with no expression.
Next day in the morning Bani and jai are in the bedroom and Maas comes in and says that Bani is
not going to office today as she is not feeling well. Jai says ok and Maasi says to jai" Munna
aaj Bani tumhare saath nahi rahegi apni Maasi ke saath bitayegi aur yeh tumhara saza hei
Bani ka khayal na karne ke liye. Bani is all the way blushing and gives a look to Jai and leaves
the room with Maasi. Its been long and bani is waiting for jai to come for breakfast.
He is not yet coming and Bani is worried what is he doing so long in the bedroom.
Maasi says to Bani " Beta tu ja aur dekh Munna kya kar raha hei, abhi thak woh aaya kyun nahi".
Bani says " thik hei mei jake dekhti hoon". Bani enter the room and sees Jai talking to himself.
He is saying " arey Jai tum itne bade business man ho aur apna button bhi thik tarah se nahi sila sake".
and is irrtated to himself.Bani laughs and goes near him and says " Mr. Walia dejiye mei sila deti hoon.
Jai says " nO mei kar sakta hoon and is seriously takes the needle and tries to stich, but not able to do it properly.
Then bani just pulls the needle from his hands and starts stitching it. She doesnt even look at him and is very serious.
Jai just stares at her not able to shout at her or do anything. His anges turns to a affection and concern.
Bani is done and moves near to him to cut the thread with her teeth.Jai feels awkward and but bani gives him a look
with some chilbul smile in her eyes and is trying to cut the thread. And then as she is done she just takes a step back and looks
straight into jai's eyes and his button, and gives a smile. then she says woh aapke liey sab breakast pe intzaar kar rahe hei,
jaldi aayiega. Jai says thik hein and Bani goes out laughing.BAni and jai come near the table. They are having their breakfast and
dadi says arey aaj tum dono ko kya huva , pehle Jai puttar tu toh neeche nahi aa rahe the aur bani ko bheja toh woh bhi nahi aa rahi thi,
kya kar rahe the kamre mein. And Jai and Bani are staring at each other and Jai says nothing woh meii.. and Maasi says thik hei
hum samajhthe hein and dadi and Maasi laugh. Jai is totally embaressed and Bani just smiles lookng at Jai.Jai gets up and says Mei office ja
raha hoon and is looking at bani. (He says to dadi and maasi but he is looking at bani).( Daal mein kuch kaala hein. Khadoos ka dimak chalne laga).
Jai is in the office but he is not able to concentrate n his work. He keeps walking in the office and comes across Bani's cabin.
He feels as is bani is there and smiles but the next moment knows that it is his imagination and thats it..
He thinks " yeh kya ho raha hei , Mujhe har jagah bani kyun dikhai deti hei. Aisa lagta hei ki woh meri nazar ke saamne rahe har
waqt." He is confused and goes away. He keeps remeberting the button scene and laughs to himself.( there is a song in the background " Aisa lagta hei jo naa huva
hone ko hai, warna dil kyun dhadakta ssansein kyun rukti ").\\
Its night and there is party at home. Everyone is down in the hall and Dadi is as usual pulling Jigs legs .
Maasi and Jai are talkng to the guests. There is lightly music playing in the background and Maasi says are jai
Bani abh thak kyun nahi aayi. ( shayad aaj ek na ek toh late aane ke liye soch liya). Suddenly Jai sees Bani getting down the steps
in a red saree with full of zardosi work. ( Goddd believe me she looks awesome girls in my imagination hahhahaha).
Jai is spell bound and looks at her with his mouth opened. Jai hears a guy behind him saying wowwwwwwwwww kitni sundar lag rahi hei
Mrs.Walia. Sahi mei Mr. Walia bahut lucky hei". Jai looks at that guy and turns back to look at bani.
Seeing Bani Maasi goes to her and says arey wahh beta, tu baht sundar dikh rahi hei kahi meri nazar naa lage tumhe.
Party is on and everyone comes near Jai and compliments his wife., and Jai is looking at bani all the time.
He is not able to remeove his eyes from her. In between Bani is also watching him. They both are talking with their eyes.
Some guy comes and asks Bani if he could dance with her. She smiles and is dancing with him and jai is not able to take it.
He feels angry at that guy and also jealous. Aditya goes and takes bani and is dancing with her. Bani keeps looking at jai
and then Adity goes and leaves bani to Jai. Both are dancing and the music stops. Bani releases herself and is trying to go when
Jai catches her hand and takes to the place remember guys ( where Pia and pushkar kissed each other).
Bani doesnt understand what is Jai upto and just keeps looking at him and says " aap mujhe kaha le ja rahe hei Mr. Walia".
He takes her and leaves her hand as they reach that place. Bani is looking at him with a question mark in her face. Jai slowly lifts
his head and looks at her and keeps staring at her. ( the wind is blowing hard and its very silent). They both can hear their heart beats.
Jai slowly starts walking towards Bani looking straight into her eyes. Bani not understanding anything is standing like a statue.
Jai goes close to her and looks straight into her eyes and puts his hands on her shoulder.( Not very hardly but he touches her with
some sort of softness deep inside).Both still looking at each other. ( Background music starts AAnkhon se tune yeh kya keh diya
dil yeh deewana dhadakne laga)". And its again silent. Jai face is very close to Bani's and he says in a very soft voice " Yeh kya hei bani",
Bani says " Mei kuch samjhi nahi", Jai says " tumhare aur mere beech". Bani is calm and looks into his eyes.
then Jai lifts his hand and touches Bani's face gently and he says " Bani jab tu chali jaati hei toh mere nazre tumhe dundhthi hei".
Bani is almost totally melted down and might fall in his arms anytime. Jai then catches her face in both his hands and says " Mei tumhe
khona nahi chahta Bani." Bani and Jai are almost very weak in emotion and about to break down. Then Jai releases his hands and Bani turns her back to him to
hide her tears and emotions from Jai. Jai catches her hand and pulls her towards himself and Bani just turns around and hugs him tight.
Jai then asks Bani shall we dance and she says yes just with a smile. They are close to each other and are dancing and ( Background music Pyar tune kya kiya,
yeh pyar tune kya kiya... ek hi pal mei achanak di hei nayi khusiyaa). They aging hug each other and both of kiss each other.......( hahhaha)
( cute love birds.. Kisi ka nazar naa lage).

Kasamh Se …
Bani puts the Mount Abu-project file away with a slight sigh. It hurts her a lot to work on this project, but for the time being she doesn't have much of a choice. She gets up from behind her desk and completely lost in her thoughts she walks towards the window. She lets her eyes wander over the Mumbai skyline, looking for something or someone to give her restless heart happiness and peace. Bani wishes she had never came to this huge city. It has only brought her pain and sorrow. How ironically, she fled from Mount Abu to solve her problems, but ever since she set foot on the soil of Mumbai her problems seemed only to have increased. Bani gives a disdainful smile to her own reflection. 'Seems like problems are you destiny no matter where you go.' She shakes her head and tells herself to stop being pathetic and feel sorry for herself. 'Such is life Bani, face it, deal with it and get over it!' She quickly moves away from the window, takes a deep breath, puts a smile on her face and leaves her cabin to go and check what her employees are doing. Tonight there will be a party thrown at the hotel to honor it's 50th anniversary. There will be a lot of VIP's around and as usual in order to take away every enjoyment from her, Jai has given her the responsibility to organise the whole event.
After taken another look in the mirror, Bani walks down to the hall. The guests might arrive at any moment. She has to see to it that nothing will go wrong. She doens't want to give mr. Walia any chance to complain. She checks everything with the head cook and the waiters and then gets a notice that Jai and his guest have arrived. She rushes to welcome them. When she reaches the hall, she sees Jigyasa entering together with Ranveer. Jigyasa is smiling and showing off her perfectly and sparkling white teeth. 'Good evening Bani. I hope everything is fine. You know that this is a very special evening and there will be alot of press around. So please don't mess up.' Bani gives Jigyasa an anxious look and assures her that everything is going perfectly as planned. Jigyasa gives her a wicked smile. 'That's good my dear babhi. And please make sure our VIP guests get a VIP treatment. As a matter of fact our first VIP guest of the evening is just entering.' Jigyasa eyes turn around to the door and Bani follows her. Jai is walking in with a beautiful lady right next to him holding his arm. They look absolutely dashing together. Bani feels a shock going through her body. Jigyasa bends a little over to her and wishpers, 'Looking good, hain na?' and bursts out laughing, leaving Bani frozen on the spot.
When Bani sees that Jai has almost reached her she quickly recovers herself and greets him and his guest. 'Welcome miss Chopra. I hope you will enjoy your evening.' Miss Chopra seems to be surprised to see Bani wearing her uniform. 'Lakin, Bani? Why are you wearing your uniform. When they told me you already left to the hotel. I thought you came to check everything not to work the whole evening.' Even though Roshni asked her question with concern and in a polite way Bani couldn't help herself feeling extremely small next to her. Not because Roshni was a head taller, but because she was looking glamorous and stylish in a beautiful red sari and a diamond jewellery set. Bani hated herself for feeling insecure and was wondering to herself why did she always feel this way when Roshni was around. 'Could it be that ...', she thinks to herself, but then quickly shakes her head to stop strange thoughts from popping up. She gives a cold look to Jai and then tells Roshni that she was so stupid to forget her sari at home and that's why she is wearing her uniform. Bani looks from Jai to Roshni, but Jai avoids looking Bani in the eye. Just when Roshni is about to say something, Billo Maussis'voice fills up the space. Bani didn't see her coming in, but is more then relieved that she is there. 'That's ok my dear bahu. Jai take your wife home so she can change her clothes. All the work seem to have been done. By the way well done Bani my child. I 'm sure the evening will be perfect!' She gives Bani a lovely pinch in the cheeks. Bani who is overwhelmed by the love this lady carries for her hugs her while she is fighting a battle against her tears. 'Ah my lovely child. You are such a good girl and our Jai is just lucky with a wife like you. Don't you think so Roshni?' Bani looks at Roshni and sees that she confirms what maussi said with a sad look on her face, while slowly and carefully she lets go of Jai's arm. Jai on the other hand plays dumb and blind and doesn't utter a word. 'Come on Jai my child take your wife home, and don't take too much time as soon all guest must be arriving.' Jai gives Bani an angry and irritating look. 'Sure maussi. We won't take long. Come one my dear wife.' He holds Bani's arm, pretending to be the perfect husband, but hurting her like hell in the meantime. Bani smiles forcibly to maussi and Roshni and allows Jai to practically drag her outside.
Once they are out of everybody's sight Bani pulls her arm out of Jai's grip, telling him to leave her because he is hurting her. Jai very hatefully tells her, 'Did I hurt you? Well that's good, because that was exactly my purpose! Now get in the car and stop giving me a headache. You're always troubling me.' Bani opens the door and sits right behind the driver seats to hide her tears from Jai, but he doesn't seem too happy with that. He opens the door with force and starts screaming. 'Who the hell do you think you are? I'm not your bloody driver!'. He grabs Bani's arm and drags her out of the car. Bani looses her balance and falls on the ground hurting herself badly. Jai stops screaming and looks shocked at his wife. He squats near her with a remorseful look in his eyes and reaches his hand towards her to help her get up. Bani is almost choking in her own tears, but refuses to give in to them. She slaps the hand of her husband away and quickly gets up causing herself even more pain. She limps to the front seat, sits down and turns her face to the window. After a little while Jai gets in as well. She feels how his eyes are fixed on her and she senses that he wants to say something. But she refuses to look towards him no matter what. Jai starts the car and drives towards the Walia mansion. There is a very inconvenient silence in the car that eventually gets broken by Jai once they reach the house. 'Eehmm Bani I'm ...' Bani doesn't let him finish his sentence. She gets out of the car and turns to Jai. 'Spare yourself mr. Walia. I've stopped expecting people like you to apologise to a girl like me along time ago.' She smacks the door in his face and walks in slow steps towards her bedroom, leaving a stunned Jai in the car.
With his eyes closed and his head on the steering wheel Jai is thinking about what just happened. Bani's words keep echoing through his head. He is wondering why he always lets her get to him like this. Why do her words always leave such an impact on him. He feels annoyed with himself that in such situations he is never able to give Bani an appropriate answer back to shut her up. Instead he keeps gaping at her like a fool. He hits the dashboard in anger, gets out of his car and with big steps follows Bani to the bedroom. Determined to teach her a lesson in how to speak to him from now on. Once he is in the bedroom there is no trace of Bani. Only her pink salwaar kameez is laid out on the bed. He then walks towards the bathroom door. He can hear the water from poring down from the shower.
Jai walks around in the bedroom, waiting for Bani to finish her shower. He looks at her salwar kameez. He finds it nice but not suitable for an evening like this. He opens her wardrobe and searches for a nice sari but doesn't find any. Irritated he walks to his sisters room and snatches a sari and a jewellery set out of her closet and steps back into his own bedroom. Just as he enters Bani comes out of the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe with the initials J&B embroidered on it. It was a wedding gift from maussi. Her face turns tomato red as she sees a surprised Jai starring at her. She tries to cast her eyes away, but she can't. Jai likewise can't take his eyes off Bani. He tells himself that she is looking so cute and beautiful. Jai is the first one who recovers himself and breaks the magic moment. He walks to the bed and drops the sari and jewellery on them. 'Here wear this!' Bani looks from the sari to Jai, but doesn't speak a word. She slowly walks towards the bed and picks up the sari. She looks at Jai in the hope that he will leave the room, so that she can get dressed. Her husband seems to have other plans though. He gives her a mischievous look and drops himself in his favourite chair, grabs the remote control, switches on the t.v. and makes himself comfortable. He gives Bani a big smile while she is looking at him with anxious eyes.
He knows he has made Bani feel very uneasy and is enjoying her discomfort. He decides to tease her even more. 'What's the matter my dear wife? Don't you like the sari? Or is it that you are too shy to dress infront of me.' Jai's grin grows even bigger when he sees Bani blushing and turning even more red. He gets up from his chair, walks towards her and stands very close to her. Bani's heart starts beating like crazy. She thinks she will faint if she doesn't sit right away. Jai on the other hand seems to enjoy Bani's nervous behaviour and continues whispering in her ear. 'Are Bani sweetheart, you shouldn't be shy of your husband. I am your husband after all, hain na?' Just as he wants to give her a tiny kiss on the cheek, Bani turns away and distances herself from him. Jai who realises what he was about to do, feels extremely embarrassed and rejected. He gets mad with himself but takes it out on Bani. He starts laughing out loud and makes fun her. 'Now get into this sari quickly. Please don't tell me you were planning to embarrass your darling husband by wearing these cheap clothes.', he says while pointing to her salwaar kameez. Bani lets go of the sari and watches Jai with painful eyes as he picks up her favourite dress and throws it in a garbage bin. Bani walks to the bin and picks her dress out of it. She looks Jai straight in the face and trying hard to control her anger and tells him, 'This cheap dress mr. Walia as you call it is dearer to me then your sisters whole wardrobe. You know why? Because it's mine and not someone else's and I take pride in wearing my own clothes even if they are not as fashionable and as expensive as your sisters sari's. If today I'm standing on my own self-respect by wearing this sari, it's for maussi's sake, so please don't get any ideas.' As smacked in the face Jai is unable to utter a word. He watches Bani as she walks towards the desk, gets a piece of paper and a pen and walks back to him. 'Take this mr. Walia. Please write down that you have given me a blue sari to wear and a … let me see … a diamond jewellery set. Both belong to your sister. When you are done, please sign the paper. Don't worry I will sign it as well. So that you can't accuse me of stealing afterwards. And now mr. Walia please get out of the room and let me get changed. Just like you said I still have a lot of work to do.'
While Bani is walking up and down and giving instructions to the employees, Jai is watching her closely from a distance. He is not the only one who seems to have set his eyes on Bani though. Several guys have set their eyes on Bani after she entered the hall looking absolutely breathtaking and they haven't taken their eyes off her ever since. But Bani seems to only feel one pair of eyes following her all the times. She is working so hard just so that everything will go perfectly fine. As she is given instructions about the buffet, a servant comes and tells her that another car with guests has arrived. Bani walks to the entrance to welcome the guests, she sees Jai walking in the same direction. As she looks at him, he gives her a stop-sign with his hand. A deeply offended Bani gives him a cold look back and turns her back to him.
Jai in the meanwhile is welcoming the very important mr. Raj Kapoor. He is a business man who has established his business outside India and now wants to expand it to India aswell. That's why he has taken over one of Jai's biggest projects in Delhi. 'I have to say mr. Walia, that whoever of your employees who has organised this event has done a great job. I might just end up taking your employee as well.' Jai laughs out loud, but his heartedly laugh ends at once when Roshini tells Raj, 'I don't think so mr. Kapoor. Mr. Walia is very attached to this employee in particular.' Raj laughs and says that he would too, if he has such a hard working employee. He and Jai talk for a while and Jai introduces him to the other guests around. Jai tries to amuse himself with his guests, but no matter how hard he tries he can't fight the urge to constantly look for Bani with his eyes, only to get irritated by the dozens other pair of eyes who seem to be looking for her as well.
Bani is tired. The party is going great and everyone seems to enjoy his time except for her. She is looking to all the people around, but her eyes are seeing only one person. He is looking absolutely stunning. She sees how happy he is talking to his friends. Roshni didn't leave his side all evening and they seem to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Bani sighs and tries her best to fight the jealousy she is feeling at once. She decides that it is time for dinner to be served. She turns around to walk to the restaurant but bumps into someone and loses her balance for the second time this evening, but a firm arm around her waist stops her from falling. 'I'm so sorry miss. I should have been more careful. I hope I didn't hurt you.' Bani stretches out her sari and looks up only to get in total shock. Even the guy startes at Bani with big shocked eyes. They both say, 'Tum?' Bani can't believe that none other then Raj Kapoor is standing in front of her. To make sure she asks him again with a big smile on her face. 'Raj? Is that you?' Raj can't believe he is standing in front of Bani either and with a large smile tells her it's really him and that it is so good to see her again. Raj embraces Bani and after a little hesitation Bani embraces too. Tears come into her eyes and after along time she is able again to smile right from her heart and feel truly happy. They are both thrilled to see each other.
Jai who is watching the whole scene from the other side of the hall isn't thrilled at all. He feels the anger growing inside him and in a smooth way gets away from his guests. Before he reaches Bani and Raj, he sees that Bani is called away by a waiter. She excuses herself from Raj and tells him she will be back in a little while. As the general manager of the hotel she has work to do. Raj is surprised to hear that. He tells her to come back quickly and keeps watching her with a twinkle in his eyes, till she disappears from his sight. 'Well mr. Raj. I see that you have already met Bani.' Jai says in a cold tone. Raj startles from Jai's voice and with a big and happy smile tells him, 'Mr. Walia you have really proven to be very lucky for me.' Jai is surprised to hear Raj talking like this. 'Why? Do you like Bani that much? You've only just met her!' Jai asks in a tone full of envy. 'Like?' Raj laughs. 'Like mr. Walia is a word too small to describe what Bani means to me. Pyaar is more like it! And it's not for just a moment. It's since a lifetime.' he says and shyly walks away, leaving a jealous Jai behind him.
As everybody is enjoying their meals, some couples stand up to dance. Bani is watching them from a distance while her eyes are looking for Raj. 'Looking for someone?' She startles from the voice behind her. Jai is standing very close to her and the look on his face doesn't predict much good. Before Bani can answer him, they get disturbed by someone who is standing on the stage with a microphone. 'Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening. I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful event. I'd like to thank mr. Walia for this splendid evening. Moreover I like to thank him for uniting me with a very special person to my heart. Tonight after years of distance I have finally met her again and to show her how much she means to me I like to dedicate the next song to her. This lady is truly one in a million. Bani this one is for you … dil se.' Raj looks at Bani and on the background the song starts playing. Without loosing eye contact and followed by a hundred pairs of eyes he walks across the hall towards Bani. He reaches his hand out to her and with a sparkling smile asks her to dance with him. Bani takes his hand and charmfully follows Raj to the dance floor where they dance together forgetting all the people around them. Jai is watching the beautiful scene with pain in his heart. He sees how gracefully Bani is dancing and enjoying her time. Raj seems to have only eyes for Bani. Jai watches how carefully Raj is holding her. It seems as if he is holding a diamond with a lot of care, afraid to scratch or break it. He wonders why it is bothering him so much. He doesn't care about Bani. Why should he care if Raj is dancing and flirting with his wife. 'My wife', says Jai softely to himself. The words sounds so strange to him. It's like he has heard them for the first time. He says it again and again and again, while watching Bani. His gaze softens more and more and his heart aches more and more every time he speaks those words.
Jai is drowing in his own thoughts and overwhelming feelings. He is confused as to what to think or feel, but Jigyasa gives him a helping hand. 'Jai bhaiya!'. Jai is pulled back to reality by the sharp voice of his sister. She stand in front of him and looks very worried. 'Jai bhaiya, look what your wife is doing. She is dishonouring our entire family by dancing so shamelessly with that young man! You have to do something. People have started talking. Do something bhaiya, this girl will ruin us!' Suddenly Jai's eyes get cold and he firmly walks towards the dancing couple and asks Raj in a firm tone if he could take over. Raj isn't at all pleased with Jai's presence, but thinks it would be rude to refuse, so he hands over Bani's hand to mr. Walia thinking to himself why the man isn't dancing with his wife instead of annoying him and Bani.
Bani's smile disappears as soon as Jai holds her hand. 'What is the matter Bani, where did you smile go? What will people think if they see you dancing with a face like that!' Bani looks an angry Jai in the eyes and forcibly puts a smile on her face. 'Kya hua Bani, what is that smile? When you were dancing with your lover you were smiling heartedly. Where did that smile go.', he continues and tightens his grip on Bani. She takes her eyes away from Jai and says in a low voice, 'You said it yourself mr. Walia. A smile coming from the heart can't be faked.' Her words seem to only feed Jai's anger. 'Accha? So you don't like to dance with your husband? Feeling too bad that I interrupted your little dance with your lover?' Bani blinks with her eyes, but doesn't say a word. A sad expression comes into her eyes which drives Jai even more mad. The song finishes and everybody claps for Jai and Bani. Jai smiles to his guests and keeps an arm around Bani's shoulder. He excuses himself as he takes Bani out of the hall. He drags her behind him through the hotel corridors. Bani is almost in tears and repeatedly tries to get loose of his grip. When they reach Jai's private suit he opens the door and barks at her to get inside.
Bani is really scared and watches an out of control Jai. He locks the door and then locks Bani's eyes in his. He keep looking her straight in the eyes, without saying a words. Bani is too scared to cast her eyes away. She still hasn't spoken a word since they were standing on the dance floor. After a while Jai walks away to get himself a bottle of drink and a glass. He seats himself in a big chair in front of Bani and starts drinking. His eyes still set on Bani. Minutes flow by an neither of them speaks a word or changes position. There is a deadly silence in the room that eventually gets broken by a knocking on the door. It's a worried Raj. 'Bani? Are you there? Are you ok?' Bani is shocked and looks from the door to Jai. Jai looks keenly at Bani and then without saying a word gets up and walks towards the door. He opens the door and looks Raj straight in the face. Raj doesn't seem too happy to see Jai. 'Mr. Walia? What are you doing here? Where is Bani? Is she ok? What have you done to her?' Jai gives Raj a disdainful smile and in a cold tone tells him. 'Kyun? Can't a man be alone with his wife? What I'm doing in this room with my wife is really none of your business mr. Kapoor. In fact, wouldn't you think it's rude of you to just bump into our room and ask for my wife? What are you of her anyways?' As if tight slapped in the face Raj looks at Jai. 'What? Bani is your wife?' As he sees how Jai nods his head with a wicked smile and a sad looking Bani standing behind him, he sees his world and dreams fall apart. Jai couldn't be less bothered though. 'Now mr. Kapoor if you would please excuse me. I would like to speak to my wife in private.' Jai walks back into the room, leaving a heartbroken Raj standing outside.
Bani feels sorry for Raj. She is confused about Jai's behaviour. She doesn't understand why he is all hyper over Raj. Why did he treat him so rudely and why was he so mad about her dancing with Raj? Even though it hurts her a lot, she never said something to Jai if he danced with Roshni or any other lady for that matter. And how on earth did he think that she was in love with Raj? She looks at Jai with scared eyes. 'Why did you treat him like that mr. Walia? Raj didn't mean anything bad.' As she sees Jai walking towards her she holds her breath. 'Kyun, my darling wife? Did you feel bad for your lover?' Bani looks all puzzled. 'I don't understand you mr. Walia. Raj is my childhood friend. He has been living abroad. I haven't seen him for years. Today all of the sudden he was standing in front of me.' Jai burst out in an evil laugh. 'My dear wife. I know you are very smart, but you have to admit that I'm nothing less. Do you really think that I would fall for that?!' Jai gives Bani a whole sermon about how she is always talking about principles and culture, but in the meantime she is cheating her husband and dishonouring herself and his family. Bani listens in silence to all Jai is accusing her off. She feels bad, wants to defend herself but doesn't . She is tired of always fighting and having to prove herself. She is tired of always being accused of things she didn't do. She looks at Jai with tears in her eyes and thinks to herself, 'Mr. Walia why don't you understand that once a heart is given away in love to a person, it can never love another.' She gets frightened from her own thoughts and while watching Jai walking up and down in rage it finally hits her that it is none other than Jai who has taking her heart. Just then Jai grabs her arms and brings her back to reality. 'Admit it Bani. Stop pretending and lying. I beg you admit that you love Raj!', he yells. Bani is unable to say anything. She keeps looking in the painfull eyes of Jai. 'Bloody hell Bani! Say something. Give me some peace. Why are you keeping silent?!' He lets go off her turns his back to her. Bani takes a deep breath and finally opens up her mouth. 'If you can't read my silence mr. Walia, how would you understand my words?' Jai turns around and looks confused at Bani, who continues saying, 'I know that your heart is full of hate for me and no matter what I do or say, you will still think ill of me. Just tell me what will make you happy and give you peace and I will do it.' There is a long silence and the both of them keep looking at each other. Then finally Jai once again holds Bani by her arms, but this time he holds her as if he is holding a precious diamond. He speaks in a low, soft voice full of emotions. 'Do you think I really hate you Bani?' Bani casts her eyes away, not knowing what to say. 'Look into my eyes Bani. Look into my eyes and tell me if you really think I hate you.' Bani shyly looks into Jai's eyes, but immediately looks away again. She is blushing all over and is feeling extremely shy. 'If you can't read my eyes Bani, then how can you understand my heart?'
Bani is standing with Billo Maussi and dadi. Her body is there but her mind is somewhere else. Raj is nowhere to be seen. She feels sorry for him and decides to look him up tomorrow and apologise to him. For the time being there is just one person that occupies her mind. The words of Jai still echo through her head. She wonders what he meant with it. Could it be that he loves her aswell. Her heart skips a beat by that thought. As she answers maussi's question with an absent mind her eyes are searching for Jai. She finally sees him. He keeps looking at her and she carefully gives him a little smile. His face loosen up and he gives her a sparkling smile in return. He then walks towards the stage and grabs the microphone. 'My dear guests. I'd like to thank you all for honouring us and coming to our party. I also like to thank my lovely wife for organising this whole event.' Jai winks at Bani as everyone is clapping for her and some people compliment her. Bani is blushing all over. 'Earlier this evening a young and charming man stood on this stage and dedicated a song to my wife as a friend. Now it is my turn to dedicate a song to my wife as her husband. This one is for you Bani … dil se.' Jai gives a tomato red Bani a sparkling smile and gets one in return. As they dance together everyone around is watching them. Some complimenting their love, others envying them. But Bani and Jai are lost in their own world. Jai gives Bani a mischievous smile and says, 'So my lovely wife, why are you being so silent? You have been starring in my eyes for 5 full minutes. Did you find something in them?' Bani blushes and cast her eyes away saying 'Yes, tumhara dil.' She steals a glance at Jai who burst out in a heartedly laugh and shyly asks him, 'What about you my lovely husband? Does my silence still bothers you?' Jai is quiet for some time, looks passionately at Bani and says. 'Nahin, your silence says more then words will ever be able to express.' He then plants very lovely and carefully a kiss on Bani's forehead.
The end. 😉

ENTRY#14
BY ANUSHKA_5
Everyone arrive at the Walia farmhouse for a 3 day break from their hectic schedules. Jai-Bani reach the last and are visibly sulking over what happened,. Jai had picked up Bani from the bus stop and they had headed to the farmhouse. Just watching them drag themselves along, Massi asks Jai why her Bahu's chehra is 'utra hua'. Much to Jai's horror, bani doesn't seem to disagree and smile. Looking at Jai who seemed to be looking at her helplessly, Bani complains like an upset wife that Jai got angry with her coz she forgot to get his laptop and had insisted they went back home and got it. Jai heaves a sign of relief… Massi scolds Jai for getting work along and confiscates his Laptop and orders him to spend time with all of them. Jai looks at Bani to convey(not through words ofcourse) that he is sorry and thank her for saving the day. Bani is simply not interested, see through him and walks away with Massi. An amused Jai stands there watching Bani walk away, unaware of himself wishing she would turn around and give him a look. Bani walking along Massi isnt hearing a word of what Massi had to say, she could feel Jai's gaze following her, she kept telling herself not to turn around… but at the end she does turn around to find Jai's smirking away, she brings back her thoughts promising herself she will ignore him as much as she can. AS IF!!!
Jai tries his best to ease out the tension, Bani is fully aware of this. She wasn't angry with Jai, she could never be… but she decided to play along coz she was enjoying Jai's attention. It made her feel she was the Most Special Person to have ever existed. Jai much to his own amusement had now decided come what may he just had to reel in Bani with his Charm. For reasons unexplained he felt jealous of the people Bani was spending her time with, laughing and smiling. Her laughter had his heart soar far into the blue sky. He had never heard anything as wonderful as her laugh. It made a bit furious at himself for not being the reason behind that Laughter so he decided he would join in. Much to Bani's embarrassment Jai was blatantly flirting with her infront of everyone…he made Massi the perfect excuse for it.
Everyone were a relaxed lot after the 1st day. Tension had eased out between Jai-Bani. They found themselves grinning and smiling without a reason, only to realize the other was on their mind. After a heavy lunch most of the people had retired for a siesta, Bani was with Massi & Dadi who were entertaining her with Jai's growing up days. Listening to the stories made her only realize she was hopelessly in love with Jai. It was late afternoon when Bani decided she would make tea for everyone.
She goes to the kitchen before which she decides to check on Jai… only to find him missing. She had seen him last when he was having a business talk with Aditya. All of a sudden she felt a pang of disappointment take over her. The previous day had as it were changed her entire life. She seemed blissfully happy around this man whose eyes seemed to look only at her, only for her. She didn't have the guts to look into them throughout, but whenever she did, she found the emotions in them had intensified with every moment. She found herself defenseless infront of his smile, which not only lit up his face but seemed to reach his eyes. As much as she knew this was all true she couldn't brush aside the unpleasant memories of the past few days. She is got out of her trance when she hears a galloping sound, she walks to the window and smiles instantaneously. It was Jai but ofcourse… he was on a horse.
She stood there watching Jai's exceptional skills at handling a horse, when Massi comes in. Looking at Bani's questioning glance, Massi tells her that Jai was an exceptional Polo player, infact he had captained his club for a long time. Massi continues to say that Horses are Jai's passion. They even have a stud farm with this farmhouse, and Jai likes to spend his time there whenever he gets the time and the horse Jai is riding now, is his favourite Horse, Chetak. Apparently till now Jai hasn't allowed anyone near Chetak. Meanwhile, Jai rides away… seeing Bani's crestfallen face Massi asks her to go the stud farm as Jai will be there. Massi asks a farm hand to take Bani to the stud farm. As they drive through the farm, Bani is left astonished at the beauty & the width of the farm.
Bani reaches the stud farm and sees Jai checking out the saddles. She was looking at a man who had an uncanny rustic feel to him. Dressed in plain white shirt and brown trousers and dark glares he looked a hands on Rancher and not one bit the Hotelier, Jai Walia who ran his worldwide business from behind his desk. As he hears the jeep draw close he looks up and smiles .He removes his glares and waits for her to come to him watching her without drifting his eyes elsewhere. Looking at him smirking made her uncomfortable coz it looked as if he was expecting her, he wasn't surprised at all! For a moment she thought had he lured her to come to find him, in the 1st place? Almost as if to answer that thought, Jai asked 'Someone has followed me here!!! Missing me. Huh?' As Bani stammers with a lame excuse, Jai's all knowing grin made her give up.
To avoid Jai, she begins looking at the horses, they are the most magnificent, beautiful animals to see up close. Despite all the horses being equally splendid, there was something different about Chetak, A black Stallion. There was an aura of Royalty that distinguished Chetak from the others… Chetak had to be special, He was Jai's favourite after all. Amused at the interest Bani is showing in Chetak, Jai asks her if she would want to meet him. Bani squeals in excitement just like a small kid. Jai gets Chetak near Bani and very proudly shows to her his horse. He also says that Chetak at times is very moody and only he can handle it. Bani comments "Lagta hai ap jaisa hi hai, Khadoos!" amused with that comment Jai, dismisses it with a wave. He asks Bani if she wants to be feed Chetak. Bani nods. Jai gives her a couple of Sugar cubes to feed the horse. Bani though takes it, feels very scared to actually go near the horse. She keeps putting her hands back & forth coz she is scared. Suddenly she felt his hands hold her hand gently yet firmly and takes it forward to feed the horse. Seeing herself so close to the huge animal she closed her eyes, when she felt Jai's protective arm around her shoulder, she looks up at him and he smiles an assuring smile… she turns back the horse who is gulping the sugar cubes from her hand. She felt the fright leave her as she patted chetak's face and cuddled it coz Jai's protective arms were still holding her. Chetak seemed to have taken a liking to Bani immediately and was extremely well behaved. Jai smiles to himself and says "Lo chetak bhi bachnahi paya" perplexed Bani asks him "Kisse se?" and Jai closing in the distance between them almost whispers into Bani's ears "Tum se.. Tumhari Jadoo se, tum tho kisse ko bhi apna bana hi leti ho!" Bani blushed but couldn't probably say anything more as his closeness had taken her breath away… even as Jai continued to maintain his gaze at her she only hoped in silence her eyes will speak for her heart… she lifted her head and Jai had locked her eyes with his brooding intensity.
A moment later they snap out as they hear Chetak… Bani is embarrassed but Jai seemed quite pleased. Bani gets back to looking at the horse, when Jai asks her if she wants to ride the horse. Bani horrified, refuses. Jai tells her she should try it and is sure she can manage it coz it must be in her genes. Bani wonders how could that be in her genes… Jai tells Bani her mom was an exceptional horse rider. Bani couldn't believe it, Jai tells her about her mom's horse riding exploits. One hearing her mom's stories a new found confidence urges Bani to try it out. She agrees to give a try and wonders which horse will she ride. Jai says "Chetak, ofcourse!" A surprised Bani tells him that Massi told him he is very possessive about chetak and wont share him with anyone. Jai adjusting the saddle says "mera jo bhi hai, wo tumhara bhi tho hai" and looks at Bani who is looking down to avoid him… he smiles to himself and says cheerfully, that the saddle is ready now. Now Bani begins to panic, she backs out refusing to sit on the horse. Jai tries to calm her down but Bani is being hysteric, Finally Jai holds her looks into her eyes, "Main hoon tumhare saath, tumhe kuch hone nahi dunga." Puts his hands forward and says "Ab chalo" Looking at Jai's reassuring presence she takes his hand. He helps her sit on the horse while he holding the reins and walks by the horse. They take a few steps, he is talking to Bani and she doesn't reply, he looks up at her and finds her sitting like a statue with her eyes tightly shut. He breaks into a chuckle and Bani opens her eyes, he tells her not to worry so much, they are just walking and the horse is not galloping. Bani relaxes a bit and begin to enjoy her ride while Jai tells her about his polo playing days… they seemed like walking into the horizon which awaited them holding in it life's promise for them.
It is getting a bit cooler as the evening is setting in. Bani asks him where they are going, he tells her there is lake at the other end and it is a beautiful sight to watch the sun set into the lake. Bani has had enough of the horse ride and wants to get off and walk with Jai. She tells him she wants to get off. When Bani is getting off, Jai literally picks her off the horse and lands her on the ground, safe. They walk towards the lake, Bani wonders where could the lake be, she hasn't seen any. On their way, Jai leaves the horse with a farm help and asks him to take it back to the stable.
The scenic beauty around them increased with each step. As they walked, they spoke quietly to each other, as though they had secrets to share. Whispering in hushed tones, they had to stay close to hear the words. The winds carried with them elusive scents of the wild flowers scattered around the place. Jai looked at Bani and felt her honest eyes imploring him, her quite smile touch his heart, her warmth filled his soul with the essence of life. His Life had found a new meaning, a new purpose… It was in THEIR TOGETHERNESS. He puts his hand forward and Bani looks at him overwhelmed… she quietly places her hand in his and they walk together.
A song in the back ground… from the soundtrack of Fanna
Mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
Bani: tere dil mein meri saanson ko panna mil jaaye
tere ishq mein meri jaan fanaa ho jaaye
There was still no sign of the lake, Bani wondered what could be so special about the place. They walked their way through trees when Jai slowed down and Bani looked in front to find the most breathtaking scene. The scenery looked stunning and tranquil with a small but unbelievably clear lake, fed by the melting water of the nearby mountains. (Now I don't know where Jai's Farmhouse is situated!!!) Acres and acres of tall and evergreen tress lined the shores of the lake. The Sun was about to set.. the entire scenery looked draped in a beautiful orange.
Looking around, bani is surprised, at the lighting the sun has cast all around them. Not quite daylight, yet far from the darkness of night, there spoke a light of truth, understanding and love. Almost a heavenly light. Jai stood by Bani as he watched the beautiful magic of heaven on earth with the one who walks with his heart
Song Cont in the background:.
jitne paas hain khushbu saans ke
jitne paas hothon ke sargam
jaise saath hain karvat yaad ke
jaise saath baahon ke sangam
jitne paas paas khwaabon ke nazar
utni paas tu rehna hamsafar
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan
tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
Jai just watched Bani's face as it reflected the happiness in his heart, Her happiness had made him joyous that he could have ever imagined. Bani looked at him questioning when Jai pulls her close to him and says "janti ho Bani main jab bhi apne apko tanha pata ta to main yahan chala aata ta. Es jagah ke kubsurati mere bechain dil ko pal bhar keliye sukon deta ta. Lekin aaj mujhe yeh har bar se zyada kubsurath lagrahi hai, Janti ho kyun? (Bani shakes her head, with a smile on his face he looks towards the lake) Kyunki aaj tum mere sath ho… Tumhare pass hone ka ehsaas mujhe mere har tanhayee, har dukh, har dard se dur kardiya hai. Ek naya ehsaas, ek naye kushi, Ek umeed ne mere es dil ko bhardiya hai. Aaj en nazaroon mein wo kubsurathi nazar arahi hai jo maine kabhi deki nahi te…" There is a sense of chock in Jai's voice.
Lines from the song:
Rone de aaj hamko do aankhen sujaane de
Baahon mein lene de aur khud ko bheeg jaane de
hain jo seene mein qaid dariya woh choot jaayega
hain itna dard ke tera daaman bheeg jaayega
Bani overwhelmed by Jai just hugs him, promising herself she would never let Jai feel any pain and fill his heart with her love and happiness. She laid her head against his chest With her ear close to his heart, she felt her world slide into place. All the stumbles and falls through her life had brought her to this moment. This is where she was supposed to be…. In the arms of the man who she loved and who loved her more.
Song continued:
jitne paas paas dhadkan ke hain raaz
jitne paas bundon ke baadal
jaise saath saath chanda ke hain raat
jitne paas nainon ke kaajal
jitne paas paas saagar ke lehar
utne paas tu rehna hamsafar
tu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan
tere pyar mein ho jaaun fanaa
mere haath mein tera haath ho saari jannatein mere saath ho
It is said "love always finds those with a lover's heart" Love had found them even among tears, disappointments and cynicism in the sparkling dusk from heaven above. Not a word is spoken, for none are needed No words could ever describe the beauty of the moment or of emotions of two people who had just pledged their lives to eachother with love and commitment. In the distance, the sun settled, the waxing moon rose, the wind rose to a thrilling pitch and the night wrapped the lovers in peace and promises yet to be fulfilled….
Lines from the song:
Adhoori saans thi, dhadkan adhoori thi adhooren hum
magar ab chaand poora hain falak pe aur AB POORE HAIN HUM!
THE BEGINING!!!!!

ENTRY#15
BY TIHA
Kasamh se, humko pyaar hai sirf tumse
Bani is discussing something with Mausi, when Jai walks in talking on his mobile. The ladies remain silent, till he finishes his conversation. 'Namaste.', he says and hugs Mausi. Mausi smiles and looks from him to Bani. Jai somehow understands the hint and he bows over to Bani. 'Hello jaan.', he says and hugs Bani. Her cheeks go all red and she doesn't know where to look. Jai takes a seat next to Mausi and doesn't care to look at Bani again. She on the other hand, is almost fainting out of shyness. 'Excuse me, I'll make some tea.', she whispers and leaves the living room. In the kitchen she tries to wash of the red colour of her cheeks, but that won't disappear before she calms down. She sighs and starts making the tea. She is getting carried away and is almost forgetting they are putting up with this act for the sake of Mausi. They don't want anything bad to happen to her. Bani tries to ignore the fact that she actually likes it this way. This is the way she wanted her marriage to be. A man who loves her and dares to show it in front of others. 'Auch!', she yells when accidentally spilling the tea over her right-hand. She angrily thanks the tea for making her realise it is all fake. She cools off her hand with cold water and then walks back into the living room with the tea. Bani takes a seat and starts pouring the tea in the cups. She hands over a cup to Jai, who grabs it, without even thanking her. Mausi sips from her tea and smiles. 'It tastes lovely. Thank you, Bani.', she says and smiles. 'But, we should get back to our conversation.', Mausi says seriously. Bani stares at her nails and doesn't dare to say something. 'I don't understand why you are against this. I cannot see a problem that should bother you.', Mausi continues. 'What are you talking about?', Jai interferes while keeping his cup down. 'Nothing.', Bani quickly whispers. Jai's eyes do not trust her and he turns his face towards Mausi. 'What is it? What are you talking about?', he asks, this time in a demanding tone. 'Jai, dear. I'll tell you, but I don't want a word about this to reach other ears than mine, yours or Bani's.' Jai promises he will keep his mouth shut. 'Sahil yesterday told me he wants to get married and he is seriously ready for it.', Mausi whispers while her eyes perfectly spot every corner, in case somebody is listening. 'What?! Are you serious?', Jai says while bringing a great and happy smile on his face. 'Sahil! Our Sahil? I can't believe he is so grown up to take such a decision.' Bani stares at Jai, hi smile brings sparkles in her eyes, but she feels sad, knowing Jai will be disappointed. 'Shhh, don't yell.' Mausi puts her finger in front of her lips. 'So then what is the problem?', Jai asks. 'We will have to get the approval of your wife, before bringing this news out.' Jai looks at Bani and then at Mausi. 'Main kuch samje nahin.', he whispers with a confused face and for a moment it looks like he doesn't want to understand. 'Why do you have to get Bani's approval for Sahil's marriage?', he asks in such a way, as if he does not want anyone to answer that question. 'Arre, silly! Because he wants to marry Rano, of course.', Mausi says and starts laughing out loud. Bani and Jai don't seem to get the joke. Jai immediately gets out of his chair and walks up the stairs in a hurry. Bani and Mausi hear the door slammed behind him. This was exactly what Bani expected. An angry Mr. Walia who would again accuse her of a lot sick things. 'Bani-dear. I think we shocked Jai a bit by telling him this. Go and check out on your husband.' The word husband makes Bani shiver. She knows she cannot live like this for a long time anymore. It kills her to pretend this beautiful marriage is true. Bani obeys and walks to the room. With every step she gets closer to the room, she feels her heart beating faster. She opens the door, feeling her heart is almost bursting out of her chest. There he is. Standing in front of the window, loosening his tie. Bani stares at him, feeling she is doing a wrong thing by coming here. But to make sure she wont lose courage and walk back down stairs, she closes the door behind her. Jai now notices her and walks towards her in an intimidating way. He pushes her aside and locks the door. The key he puts in his pocket, while walking towards the closet. Jai undresses himself. Bani's eyes grow big and she quickly turns her face towards the wall. When Jai is finished he grabs her arm and pushes her towards the bed. 'Sit down.', he commands while fasting the last button of his pyjama-blouse. 'Now listen carefully. This side of the bed is yours and this is mine.', he says while pointing. 'Now I am going to sleep. I do not wish to hear you snore, laugh, cry or even turn around. Tomorrow is an other day and you perfectly explain what I heard today. Understood!', he yells with anger in his eyes. Bani is scared and nods her head.
Bani gets up as careful as possible, trying not to wake up Jai. She stares at his face for quite some time. Now she sees he actually is a very handsome man. His face is perfectly drawn. She bends down in front of him and gathers all the courage she possesses. With a naughty and somewhat sweet smile on her face, she glides with a finger over his eyebrows, playing with his nose and then reaches his lips. Just when about to touch his chin, he turns over. Bani quickly gets up and walks to the door as fast as she can. It doesn't open and that reminds her that Jai had locked it and kept the key with him. Bani opens the closet and looks for the trousers he was wearing last night. She checks the pockets but there is no key in them. She sighs and checks the whole closet, but there is no key to be found. Then finally a bell starts ringing in her head. 'Maybe it's in the pyjama he is wearing now.', she thinks and walks towards the bed. She carefully lifts the blankets and laughs about the state Mr. Walia's legs are in. Bani doesn't seem able to stop laughing about the way he is lying in bed. She then tries to reach for his pocket, but every time she gets close, Jai turns over. Bani has no choice then to just wait for him to wake up; as she has not forgotten what he told her yesterday. She sits on the bed and just enjoys herself staring at him. Even though Mr. Walia can't see her staring at him, her face has a colour of a shy little girl. Bani stares at him for a long time while thinking about how it would be if Jai loved her. Then out of nothing Jai's eyes open wide and meet Bani's eyes who is for the first time in her life, not shy to look at him. Till a little smile appears on Jai's face, she quickly gets up and walks towards the window. 'Kyun? What is there to see? I'd almost say you were enjoying the view over here a lot more.', he says smiling, but sounding sleepy. Bani is blushing as never before and stares at him while he's getting up. He looks very goofy when his hair isn't combed. 'You better get ready.', he says while searching for a suitable casual something to wear. 'Why? Are we going somewhere?', Bani asks. It's her day off after all, so she doesn't have to go to the office. 'We have to talk and don't ask me about what. Just get ready.' Jai opens the door and walks out of the room. Bani isn't feeling so good, but gets freshened up and changes her clothes. Meanwhile Jai is waiting in the car. Bani gets out of the house and takes a seat next to him. 'Ji, where are we going?' 'Sttt.', Jai commands and drives away from the house. After a while he breaks the silence that has been bothering Bani. 'Where do you wish to have breakfast?', he asks in an arrogant manner. 'Thank you, but I'm not feeling so well.' Bani is staring out of the window. 'You haven't eaten, that's why.' Jai parks the car in front of a little restaurant. 'Get out.', he says, while turning the car off. Bani carefully tries to open the door, but feels it costs her all her power. She doesn't understand why she has gotten so weak out of nothing. Jai who has already gotten out, walks towards her and helps her open the door. 'Faster please.' He looks at her with mean eyes. Bani is trying to move out of the way, so he can close the door. At that moment she grabs her head; feeling dizzy. 'Mr. Walia. I'm not feeling okay.', she whispers and breathes heavily. 'Yeah, sure. When are you going to stop complaining? I know you are just saying this to avoid the chat I want to have with you.', he says and pushes her aside to close the door. Bani leans at the car and tries to ignore the pain that is shooting by in her stomach. She tries to find a place to sit down and get some fresh air. Not too far she locates a little park. 'Can we go there?', she asks, while sweat is playing on her for-head. Jai leads her to a bench and they take a seat. Bani closes her eyes. 'Now we should talk. How dare Rano seduce Sahil! Isn't it enough what Pia did to me? Let alone Pia; isn't it enough what you did to me? If you want money, you should just say so. There is no need for playing with peoples feelings!' 'Mr. Walia, please give me a second. I'm not feeling well.' Now Jai stares at her face and sees she is not lying. He quickly gets up. 'I'll be right back.', he says and leaves Bani alone. Not too long he is running back with a bag. When he opens it he gets out some breakfast for Bani and tells her to eat it. She thanks him and starts eating. When she is finally finished she cleans her hands and stares at Jai who is still eating a sandwich. 'Look, Mr Walia. I cannot help it if Sahil and Rano love each other. You cannot expect me to tell my sister the way she should feel for a guy or the way she shouldn't. Sir, I can hold my sisters back for doing things that could bring us all disaster, but I cannot ask them to give up love. Love is one thing I always taught them to fight for.' Jai had listened to her all the time, while eating. 'Seems this food made you feel much better.', he says and smiles. 'Now you look, Bani. I do not want the same thing happened to me, to happen to my nephew. I wont get in the way of Rano and Sahil, but listen to me carefully, if one of you three sisters hurt my Sahil, you are the one paying the price Bani. And I'm not joking. Oh and as a matter of fact, I also learn my family to fight for love. But there are sometimes other things I place above love. So stop bragging.' Jai cleans his hands, while Bani is laughing. 'Hard to believe.', she says and gets up. 'You think that is hard to believe?', Jai asks. 'Mr. Walia talking about love and understanding love…Yeah that sounds unbelievable to me.' 'Well, I have never been more insulted in my life, miss Bani. You're calling me a liar in my face. Well then I'll just have to prove to you that I actually am a great fanatic of love and show you what your sister Pia is missing.' Bani doesn't know if she should laugh or remain silent about Mr. Walia bringing her sister up. She decides to just smile. 'You feel like dinner tonight?', Jai asks while walking with Bani towards the car. 'Kyun? Koi special occasion hai this evening?' Bani stares at him with her innocent eyes. 'No, nothing special.' Bani agrees and they drive away.'
'Bani! Are you ready?', Jai yells behind the door. 'Haan, haan! Ek minute, main aati hoon!' Jai is getting irritated. 'What is it with you ladies?! Always taking hours to get ready. You had all morning and afternoon to get ready. I really don't understand why you women need all the time. You know what the funny thing is? It doesn't even look as if you had spend ten minutes on your looks. I will never under….' Before he can even finish his sentence, the door opens and Bani appears in her beautiful yellow sari. Jai stares at her, surprised. Affection and love are hidden in his eyes while he is admiring Bani. She just looks stunning. 'Shall we go?', Bani asks blushing. 'Can't we stay?', Jai whispers. Bani's eyes grow big. 'Kya kaha aapne?', she asks. 'Kuch nahin. Chalo.' As if it is a normal thing to do, Jai grabs Bani's hand and leaves the house.
'Care for a walk?' 'Oh Mr. Walia, I'm really tired. Let's just go home.', Bani answers while staring at him in the dark. 'I'll buy you an ice cream.', he says and laughs naughty to Bani. 'Well, in that case. Let's go.', she answers and laughs back at him. Jai buys her an ice cream and they walk over a beautiful cliff. 'I always came here when I was a little kid.', Jai says while pulling Bani with him. 'Achcha? What is so special about it, except for being a easy way to kill yourself?', she yells while almost tripping over her sari. Jai doesn't answer till they are on top of the cliff. 'Come here.', he says and drags Bani towards him. He carefully puts his arms around her and covers her eyes with his hands. 'I'll show you what is so special about it. Are you ready?', he whispers. Bani feels she can pass out any moment now. This is too much for her. Mr. Walia standing so close to her, touching her. She smells his perfume and smiles. Her heart beats even faster then yesterday. Bani puts her hands on Jai's and removes them from her eyes. Mumbai. A beautiful view over Mumbai. Bani doesn't say a thing and just looks at the beautiful lights that are everywhere. She just smiles and so does Jai, who isn't even realising he is still standing behind Bani and holding her hands. 'Beautiful.', Bani says. 'Told you so.', Jai whispers in her ear. A little shock goes trough Bani and she loosens herself from Jai's grip. He ignores her. 'I could stand here all night and not get enough of this view. It's peaceful.' 'Yeah, and have you seen the stars.', Bani says while staring at the sky. 'I love the stars and always stare at them. My mother once told me that when you smile to them, they'll smile with you and when you cry, they'll cry with you and support you. I love the stars.' 'I'm a star.', Jai answers. Bani stares at the shape of his face, that is lightened by the moon. 'What do you mean?' Jai smiles. 'Well you are the one who told me that when you smile, they smile with you and when you cry, they cry with you so when you love them…There must be a star that loves you back.' Bani turns her face away from Jai, afraid that even in the dark he will notice her red cheeks. 'You are a special girl, Bani.', he says while grabbing her arm. 'You are just one of those stars. When someone cries, you cry and one someone smiles you smile.' 'And when someone loves, I love.', she whispers; staring at the sky. 'Stars cannot reach for each other. They are only there to help the people.', Bani says with a smile on her face. 'Maybe stars never try to reach for each other. Maybe they actually can reach for each other.', Jai says who is getting closer to Bani. He drags her closer to him. Bani feels his breath in her face and doesn't dare to look up. 'They just have to agree about reaching for each other. About getting closer to each other.', Jai continues in a soft voice. The wind plays with Bani's hair. Jai lovingly gets a few hairs out of her face and smiles to her. 'Stars just need courage.', he whispers while moving even closer to her. Bani now finally looks at him. She has never been so close to him. Only a soft breeze can skip between their faces. 'Now one star is close enough. It's up to the other star what happens next.', Jai says and stares at her lips without even feeling ashamed. Bani is doubting about what to do now, but then she lets her heart win over her mind and she gets closer to him. She tries to reach for his face and stares at him. She then hugs him intensely and doesn't feel like letting go. 'That will do.', Jai says laughing and hugs her even tighter to his chest.

Kasamh se Jeena sirf mere liye
Bani just had a bath and comes out from the steaming hot bathroom wearing a pink sari with yellow flowers she finds Jai trying to put his tie on and struggles to put it on after so many tries Bani feels sorry for him though not that sorry that she'll do it for him and then Dadi comes into their room and goes ' Oh, Jai putar tu yahi kadhah hai tujhe bahar Aditiya bula raha hai' and then when dadi sees him not making an attempt in doin his tie she says to bani 'bani putar tuhi Jai ki tie baandhe naa yeh bachara kya karega, aur main toh bandh nahi sakti meri height bohot choti hai to tuhi karde naa' and then she goes...
...Slowly Bani comes close to Jai and says 'erm...main kardeti hoon' Jai who's so exhausted in doing his tie gives up lets her but saying nothing, when bani finishes and wants to walk away her mangalsutra gets stuck in his suits button. She goes 'ur woh..' and starts to untie the knot while shez doin it Jaiz gazing at her and in the bakground the song starts to come from HUM-TUM saaso mein sasso ko bhar ne do zara... Then at the end the song fades...
...Next day Bilo massi and Daadi were making Jaiz fav dish when Bani sees them and says 'arrey daadi aap yeh kya kar rahi hai?' Daadi goes 'o putar tumhe pata hai yeh Jai ki Favourtite dish hai' Bani sort of blushing says 'acha' and massi goes 'acha bani beta tu bhi humari madat kar' As bani can't say to anybody even to her rivals she evetually says 'acha'.
When Jai comes back from work and smells the most delicious smell and goes 'hmmm...' and sits at the dining table and breathes in and out trying to breath in the smell and absorb it when bani comes to the table as well as slowly everybody else does. Jai takes the first bite of his fav dish and says 'wow, massi apke haatho mein to jaadu hai' and smiles. Then Jigz tastes it and says 'wakaye massi aaj to kamaal ho gaya' Everyones looks pleased! Then Daadi goes 'patah hain yeh khana kisne banaya hai' Aditiya goes 'Haan massi nein' Massi and Daadi laughs 'Nahi, yeh khana Bani ne banaya hai' Daadi says. Bani who's standing behind ranoz chair and embarrassed though not showing it smiles. Jai was delighted to hear and see what was going on and enjoyed the dinner. Though Jigz said ' Og fo! Poore khane ka swaad kharab kardiya, yeh khana hai'. 'Magar Jigaysa abhi toh tu kehrahi thi ki khana bahot swaad hai aur abhi tu' Aiditya says confused. 'Haan, toh kya hua koin pahadh toh nahi toot padha na' After saying saying that Jigz goes away spoiling her lunch and others.
At night when Jaiz watching a show on how to look young Bani walk into the room and stares at the T.V. She understoods what hez starin at and thinking, so she comes in and gets her bedsheet ready to sleep on the floor. Then Jai switiches off the T.V so it wouldn't disturb Bani and goes to sleep Baniz face oposite of Jaiz, Jaiz face facing Baniz back. Jai says ' Aaj ka khana bahut acha tha' On the other side Bani blushes and says 'Thanks'. 'I'm sorry, ki Jigaysa ne tumhara mood kharab kar diya'. 'It's ok, Mr Walia'
At the morning when Jaiz doing his hair he stares in the mirror at his white streaks (bird poop) And frowns at it. While Bani gets cup of tea for him. Bani knew this was realted to the programme that he had on T.V yesterda. She smiles at his hair and comes closer to him ' Kya hua' Jai shocked with astonishment and says 'erm, khu...khuch bhi nahi' 'Oh' Bani says giggling. 'Main abhi ayi' She says and walks out of the room and Jai turns and looks at her but she was already gone out of the door. When she comes back Jai notices something in her hands. 'Yeh...'Jai hesitates. 'Mr Walia, yeh aapke liye hai' She says smiling. 'Mere liye' Jai replies looking confused. 'Maina kal dekha ki aap T.V par kya dekh rahe theh, aur isilie yeh main aap ke liye layi hoon' Bani says pleased of herself. Jai stares at the dye. Bani gets the brush and takes starts to die his hair black while Jai gazes at her and the song at the background comes 'soniye...soniye...'
In the office Jaiz looking happy and cheerful he doesn't notice anybody suddenly his client comes to his room and says 'Mr Jai Walia' but there was no reply from Jai as Jaiz too busy thiking of Bani deep sinking through in her thoughts. Then suddenly Aditiya comes to his cabin and says 'Jai' he doesn't reply he comes closer and says 'Jai' no reply after saying Jaiz name 4 time at last Jai replies and says 'haan, erm... sorry woh...erm...main...woh...darasal...' Aditiya giggles and says 'Bani ke bare main soch rahe the na' 'Main, nahi main toh woh' Jai struggles to looke for an excause 'Jai toh tumhi bathao ki tum is waqt jab sara staff ghar chalegaya hai tum kis ke bare mein socha rahe the' Aditiya says proving his point. 'Haan, Aditiya main Bani ke bare mein soch rahan tha pata nahi kyun mujhe aisa kyun lagta hai ki woh bhi mujhse pyar karti hai' Jai says smiling. Aiditya says 'Jai usse apni dil ki baath batado' Finally for the first time Jai listenens to someone and goes home...
...Baniz in Jaiz room preparing her bed (on the floor) Jai breathless says 'erm.. Bani' Bani turns around and sees Jai lookin rough and red. 'Bani main...woh...main...baath yeh hai ki- Bani iterupts 'kya hua Mr Walia' Jai now very scared and paralized finally says 'Aditiya kehta hai ki main tumse pyar karta hoon' Bani shocked and surprised as a chill went down her spine managed to say 'WHAT!' 'Bani woh darasal meri isme koi galati nahi hai...galati sirf aditiya ki hai usne' Bani still shocked stares at him. Then Jai gets out a rose from his pocket and says Bani will you choose to live with me for ur entire life. Without a break bani says 'YES' and Jai gives the rose to her as carefully as he can and smiles with Bani and hugs her tight as possible in his arms as bani feels the warmth and feels comfortable... 😳
