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 tearsā¦She rummaged her pocket for a piece of tissueā¦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 doneā¦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"ā¦.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 lifeā¦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 beachā¦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 mindā¦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 Hospitalā¦.He ..no he wouldn't do that ā¦Walia Mansion was shocked..Jigyasa was having hysterics.....All ran towards their cars to race to Breach Candy Hospital. Bani ventured into oneā¦"You..get outā¦U've brought him to this stage..U ā¦" Jigyasa screamedā¦.Bani could not control the rain of tears that came frm herā¦.She took an auto ..and reached the hospitalā¦.
*********
She saw himā¦lying there so helpless..so vulnerableā¦She had reduced him to this stateā¦The bed was wet with her tearsā¦She was by his side for 3 days now..He had slipped into a comaā¦Day n night she prayed endlessly to her God to make him come backā¦to take her life and give his backā¦.When had she begun to love him so muchā¦His strength..his anger..his passion..his sorrowā¦.his tearsā¦everything was dear to herā¦everytime he taunted herā¦she was more deeply hurt than she showedā¦She had priced the quite time they sharedā¦for one day in the roomā¦when he had quietly taken up the robe she had taken for herā¦His single glance at her.She valued it more than all happiness in the worldā¦When did she become such a lovelorn birdā¦She did not know..Everything just fell into placeā¦Now the man that lay beforeā¦mattered so much, so much to her than he realizedā¦
***********
He opened his eyesā¦Where was heā¦The green walls of the hospital room came to his viewā¦.A gentle form lay by his side,,,her head resting on his shouldersā¦Baniā¦.He opened his eyes wide in surpriseā¦but he knew it all alongā¦He looked at her tear-stained face..her beautiful eyes..that calm and compassionate faceā¦He wanted to say sorry to her and wipe away her tears..and make her forever hisā¦O God..What am I thinkingā¦Suddenly her eyes sprang open..seeing jai awake..she pulled back in surpriseā¦A smile lit her faceā¦He found in her face a deep affectionā¦" Jaiā¦.Mr. Walia..when did uā¦"..Bani called out to Aditya and Ranoā¦..

"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.....

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 talkingā¦..just then the hostess greets Bani and takes her to the tableā¦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. Waliaā¦.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 thaā¦pur Business plan aapko bataya thaā¦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 quietlyā¦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-beatā¦.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 nahinā¦..kuch baatein aisi hoti hai, ki unhe kehne ki zaroorat hi nahi padtiā¦.hamara dil unhe khud b khud hi samajh leta haiā¦" 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. Waliaā¦aap kya kar raheā¦sab ke saamneā¦." 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 belowā¦
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 looā¦aap dengeā¦" Jai looks thoughtful for a moment and his lips have a hidden smile and he says in a soft voice, "Maang kar toh dekhoā¦." Bani lowers her eyes and says, "Kya mein aapko, aapke naam se bula sakti hoonā¦." Bani doesn't look at Jai's face while saying this and Jai's expression is totally mesmerized and intense and he keeps quietā¦ā¦Bani is now panicky as she thinks that she has spoken too much and that Jai would be upsetā¦.she looks up at Jai with worry in her eyes and in a very apologetic tone says, "I am sorry, Mr. Waliaā¦mera matlabā¦." Jai keeps staring at Bani with the same intense gaze and places the palm of his hand over her mouth and tells her softy, "Jaiā¦..mera naam Jai hai, Mr. Walia nahinā¦." 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 herā¦..
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 haiā¦." 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 lifeā¦.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. Waliaā¦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 haiā¦..I mean aap dono ka haiā¦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 haiā¦" 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 haiā¦.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 thaā¦.aapne mujhe bataya kyon nahin ki, yeh restarant aapne kharid liya haiā¦." Jai smiles and says humorously, "Accha, toh is liye ekdum se Chaand par grahan cha gaya haiā¦.." 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 samundarā¦..kitna gehraā¦.." 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 jaisaā¦." Bani is stunned and keeps staring at the Ocean unable to face Jaiā¦.whom she knows is looking at her! Jai and Bani share a totally quiet moment and Bani suddenly splurts out, "Mr. Waliaā¦.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. Waliaā¦.kya huaā¦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, "Jiā¦aap hi seā¦.kyonā¦" Jai smiles quietly and says, "Maine tumhe kaha tha mera naam Jai hai, Mr. Walia nahinā¦..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 daaliā¦Main aapko aapke naam se kaise bula sakti hoonā¦" 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 thaā¦ab tum nein maang liya aur maine de diyaā¦.mein apne diye hue tofhe wapas nahin letaā¦." 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 haiā¦.pata nahin kitne saal hogaye, Beach par gaye hueā¦.Dad and mein dono subah jogging ke liye jaaya karte theā¦.." Jai gets a nostalgic tone in his voice and then taking Bani's hands in his own, walks towards the Beach....š³
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 itā¦.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 meinā¦.but Mr. Waliaā¦.I meanā¦.is waqtā¦" 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 jaayiyeā¦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 padtaā¦.yeh sari kuch khaas hai, kisi ne bahut pyaar aur mamta se sanjo ke rakha thaā¦." Jai is quiet for some time and says softly, "Ma ki di hui sari hai?"ā¦.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 outā¦"Mr. Waā¦.Suniyeā¦.zyaada andar mat jaaiyeā¦High tide haiā¦.suniyeā¦.Mr. Waliā¦.Jaā¦." 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 Sariā¦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 itā¦Jai is stunned and looks back at herā¦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 Paniā¦.aap peenge Mr. Walia?" Bani says enthusiasticallyā¦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 dijiyeā¦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 haiā¦." 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 hoā¦aur mein tumse jeet kar bhi hamesha haar jaata hoonā¦par mujhe who haar jeet se bhi acchi lagti haiā¦." 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 haiā¦.toh paani kahan se aayegaā¦" 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 haiā¦."
Both Jai and Bani look at one another in amazement and surprise as they both said the same thing in the same breathā¦ā¦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, "Baniā¦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 liā¦" 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 hogaā¦.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 haoā¦.maybe I am drunkā¦.magar Cognac par nahiā¦.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 haiā¦.aaj jab safar itna interesting tha aur safar karne waala us se bhi zyada interesting tha, toh ghar itni jaldi aa gayaā¦." 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 hainā¦..abhi toh sirf 11 baje hain?" Jai and Bani walk in slowly and suddenly realize how quiet and dark the whole place isā¦Jai speaks softly, "Hmmm, lagta hai sab log aaj jaldi so gayeā¦accha yeh batao, tum nein apna Birthday present toh le liyaā¦.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 giftā¦.wahi joh baccho ki birthday parties mein jaate hue milta haiā¦.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 handsā¦.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 silentā¦.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 lipsā¦.but then all of a sudden, the hall is flooded with lights and the whole clan bursts out singing Happy Birthday to Youā¦.Jai and Bani instinctively move away and they are both red in the faceā¦..as Mausi, Dadi, Aditya, Anu, Saahil, Rano and the servant's have all gathered together with a huge Cake lit up with 23 Candlesā¦ā¦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....š
Love,

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 everyoneā¦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 teā¦" 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 beā¦. 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 fulfilledā¦.
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!!!!!
