When heart breaks it is noiseless unlike when a mirror breaks. The only voice it can hear is the pain you feel that moment it seems that the whole world just got together to conspire against you. The battle of love that up till now which you were certain that you had won just disintegrates when you come to know that the love you thought was a mere mirage of what of the true love you thought was made for you.
And your whole world of dreams and happiness collapses in front of your eyes and you cannot prevent it even when you know that the game you started was always the one you wanted to win but neither Jai Walia nor Bani Dixit knew that they would loose their hearts to each other and when they finally realized this it was too late as the both had walked away from a relationship which was never there to begin with but started a relationship which neither of them realized and that was both had fallen in love with each other both thought how this game had started'''''' ''''
Part 'I
The Party-Where It Had All Began:
The party at the Walia House was in full swing. The Walia's were known to throw parties which rocked the town. Jai Walia was known to be the heart of the town. The man was simply one amazing man. The man who was a businessman by profession but a poet at heart and that is what made him different. The personalities were so contrasting that when people came to know that Jai Walia was a accomplished poet and had several books published under his name on poetries which were all bestsellers it use to take them aback. He did not look like a poet from any angle. He looked a thorough businessman and he always made sure people never forgot that.
He was like a man possessed once he decided to go after something then he would just pursue the same until he got the desired the result. Losing the battle was one thing for Jai Walia because he always won the war. But he was about to loose the first war of his life and he was not going to be in control of this war. As this would be one war he would do anything to loose to gain the love of his life and destiny was about to play a big part in this game.
Jai Walia looked like a Greek God among men as he descended from his room on the top floor of the Walia House. Dressed in a Armani Black suit and black Van Diesel shoes and a Rolex watch glistening in his hand the man looked so handsome that he was a show stopper and the man knew this and yet he continued to mesmerize the female species.
Jai Walia could have anyone and he knew but then he was not looking for anyone. He was looking for his soulmate and only hoped and prayed that this Valentine's Day he would be with one woman who will be his forever. He just wished and prayed.
His prayer was about to be answered and as they say 'Think twice for what you wish for it may just come true.'
As if on cue, Jai's eyes traced a woman walking into the party at the exact moment. She was dressed in a pink saree and looked gorgeous. His eyes were trying to gulp her face into his mind but he could not see her completely as the woman turned to speak to someone and at the same time he heard someone calling for him. He walked away towards the voice.
The moment Jai had walked to the voice that was calling him, the exact moment the woman turned and there was Bani Dixit wearing a pink sari and a matching Tanishq jewelry and high-healed Sandle. She had a very light make-up and looked like an angel had descended from heaven on earth.
Bani was not going to come to the party but then Ranveer instead she come and she could not refuse him. He was a close friend they had gone to college together. Ranveer was dating Raashi who was Bani's best friend. Bani Dixit was a professor at the Hotel Management School in Mumbai.
She loved teaching and that gave her a lot of satisfaction. She could have joined her father's business but she wanted to something on her own and hence she decided she wanted to teach. She had a vast experience in the hospitality industry.
Jai Walia still could not take that girl out of his mind and then like on cue Bani walked right in his vision and Jai Walia's heart kept skipping beat. He thought for a moment that his heart had frozen in time. Jai could barely hear his heart beat. Jai could every inch of his body wanting to go grab her and pull closer to him and claim her lips on his. Jai just wanted her plain and simple. But then who was she? Jai told himself to get a grip I mean she is just another girl and the next minute the heart said no she is not she had made his heart stir like know one else had. Hence Jai was fighting a battle which his heart and mind were playing with him and he was too much in a daze to prevent of what was about to happen next.
A Shayari came to Jai's mind and he was standing there and his friends came and asked him to say few lines and looking at Bani he said:
'Kya kahe Aapko Dekhkar,
Hum Kuch Aise Kho Gaye,
Pata Hi Nahi Tha,
Aaaj Thak,
Ki Dil Mera Dhadak Na Jaanta Tha,
Par Aaj Jaankar Kushi Huyi,
Is Dil Ko Bhi Phasana Bananana Aata Hai.'
And when Jai stopped there was a resounding applause and across the party and then Bani turned and looked at him and their eyes met for the first time and Jai was in a trance taken to another world.
Jai was simply allured and transported into the next world seeing the woman standing in front of him was just made for him.
Though we was surprised that any girl could leave such a effect on Jai Walia. He left his effect on girls not the other way around until now.
It was probably one of those momentarily infatuations things which will disappear with time and the moment time passed by. Jai Walia had never been wrong about himself and this was the first time in his life he was about to surprise even himself.
He said to himself:
Pyaar Insaan ko Paagal Bana Deta Hai,
Yeh Main Suna Tha,
Lekin Deewana Main Ban Jagooga,
Ek Nazar Main Kisi Ka,
Aisa Pheli Baar Hua Hai,
Dekhta Hai Dil Kahi Inhi Ka Liya,
Tham To Nahi Gaya Tha,
Jo Aaj Phir Dhakane Laga Hai'..
And his friends once again praised him, as he realized he had said his shayari out loud. He smiled and walked away.
Bani had been watching Jai Walia for sometime, the man was a God among men, probably a Greek God, but then what did he mean by his lovely shayari. Was it meant for her? The thought brought a smile and Bani just blushed at the thought of it. A man'no she said to himself a handsome man saying shayari in her praise'.wow!!!!!!
Bani was an woman who was simple by nature, teaching in a Hospitality School, she was contented in her life. She had two lovely sisters Pia and Rano, both loved her to death. Pia though younger to Bani had recently tied the knot with Pushkar Shukla who owned his own event management business. Pushkar was also business partner of Mr. Walia.
Rano was the youngest had just finished college, she always wanted to be a cardiologist and was getting ready for the medical school. For her boys did not exist as she had no time for none. But then again life was about to take a turn for him.
Bani was only there because of her friendship to Ranveer. But then who was this man who had just made such a huge impression on her even without talking to him. How was this possible? It was the first time in her life someone had stole Bani's breath away even without talking to her. When things happen they just keep on happening. If Bani thought it was just a passing attraction just like Jai thought then Bani could not have been more wrong about herself.
The problem was both were waiting for making to make the first move. In the world of romance, when the sparks of love fly then it time has come to make that first move. Jai Walia knew how to make his move the man was a demi-god for crying out. Now, Jai kept thinking how to approach to that angel. He had to think of a something different he was Jai Walia he had to be different. Jai kept thinking I am not going to bother with this. But at the same time could not help but think of this situation.
Jai Walia had to think of a plan but what? Right on cue, the plan landed right into his hands and he smiled. He said to himself, you continue to amaze yourself Jai Walia.
Jai walked to Bani and pulled her in his arms and before Bani could even know what was happening he had he claimed her lips on his and hence stunning Bani completely. Bani resisted the kiss but she kissed him back and then someone tapped Jai Walia and for the second time that night he had been dreaming with his eyes open. What the hell is wrong with him?
Jai Walia walked to his group of friends and then started to speak with them. And then where it all began''''..
Part-II The Bet''..
As the party of the Walia progressed the discussion between Jai and his friends kept on moving from one topic to another and then all of a sudden Jai did not remember how but before he knew he had made a bet that he could and will woo Bani and make her confess her love for him by Valentine's Day and hence he will win the bet which was for Rs. 1,00,000 lakh rupees which was a pocket change for a man like Jai Walia but this was a matter of principle and prestige and he was yet to loose a bet. And hence the bet was placed and hands were shaken.
Unaware of Jai's plan Bani had made a bet with her friends that she could woo a man like Jai Walia so what if she is simple but she could and would make Jai Walia run circles around her. She told them you just wait and watch men like Jai Walia look for women like me everyday.
By Valentine's Day he will confess his love for me and then I would prove my point to you that all it takes is an angle to woo a guy and not looks. And I would have made a cool Rs. 1,00,000 lakhs in the bargain. Not a bad deal by any means.
Both Jai-Bani had unknowingly have just placed their hearts in the line of their battle of wits. The problem was one the heart does not understand the matter of the mind it only knows to love and when your heart starts to beat for someone then whatever you want to do you can run away from it, you can choose to think it is just a passing infactuation but one thing you cannot do is to ignore it. And that is what was about to happen to Jai-Bani.
What the heart wants the heart always gets. This simple rule was forgotten by both Jai-Bani. The love that was about to develop between them and the realization of that love would tear them apart.
With the bets now placed, the action plan was being made by both Jai-Bani for the battleground after all both had to win no matter what.
But both had to devise and come up with a plan that it would taken the other by surprise and make them win the bet. Both kept repeating to themselves whatever you do not fall in love with the other as this is just a bet. You have to pretend to love and not actually fall in love with someone.
The second cardinal mistake of love the heart does not know how to pretend it only knows how to love and the heart does not understand the matter of the mind and the mind does not know how the heart works.
That was the problem with both Jai-Bani was that they could not keep their minds and heart separately and by the time they realize what actually had happened they will find themselves alone with know one to turn to.
Part-III The First Encounter After the Bet- College Meeting
The first thing Jai Walia decided to do was find out everything about Bani Dixit. It was necessary for the plan he had in mind for Bani Dixit. The woman would be swept by her feet by Jai Walia and she would not even know about it. What our dear Jai Walia did not know that the ground beneath him would disappear in this game of love and by the time he will realize this he would be a completely hopeless case and he the mighty Jai Walia would not be able to do anything. Helpless in the hands of love and nothing he could prevent would change the course of his action.
Bani had been thinking what could be done to get more some information on Jai Walia and then she remembered Ranveer after all when will friendship reap its benefits. Bani smiled to her self as a plan came to her mind.
Jai Walia was stunned to find that Bani Dixit use to teach at a Hotel Management Institute. This made his job even easier. Industrialists going to Hospitality College for a feasibility studies to know how they were doing was a common sight and Jai Walia was just about to do that, not withstanding a fact that a recent audit had already been done on his business but then here he had to talk to Bani and get under her skin, he had to make her fall in love the challenge was too tempting to resist.
Bani Dixit was surprised to get a call from the principal of the Institute as she called Bani in her office. Bani who was correcting some papers in her the teachers room got up and went to see what that good for nothing Principal wanted. She knew that Mrs. Kaul was an idiot all she did was nothing except gossip about serials. Bani just could not stand her and then every time a good-looking man would come she would get all excited and not to know how to behave with him. Bani just hoped this wads not the case as she was tried and this was not how she wanted to start a Monday. But then she did not have a choice in the matter.
Bani's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw the man's profile from behind it was none other than Jai Walia, the man was quick Bani thought thinking what did he want? She was herself a little stunned and overwhelmed at the same time that a man like Jai Walia was giving her so much attention. They were yet to speak a sentence between them yet''''..
Bani knocked at the Principal's door and walked in when Mrs. Kaul waved her in. Mrs. Kaul did not wait for a moment to get started that he is Jai Walia who wanted to do a feasibility report for the Walia Group of Industries.
Their eyes met for the first time that day and both felt as if they could read each others mind the thought itself scared them both. It felt a little weird to them as both of them could feel a connection but yet to hard-minded to give it a second thought about it.
But neither Jai-Bani thought about this for another minute. As far as this was concerned this was just another game and the only motive was to win this game come what may. The prize and the satisfaction to make someone fall in love with you was too tempting for either one of them.
Jai got up and looked deep in her eyes and said nothing like their minds started to talk again. Mrs. Kaul interrupted Jai Walia's chain of thought though. She told Bani to help Jai Walia out in anyway that she could and ensure that the feasibility study was a success.
The fun was about to begin''
Bani walked in front of Jai Walia she could feel his eyes bored on her. She could sense him checking her out so Bani decided to have a little fun. All of a sudden she gave a little flair to herself in walking. She was walking straight she began to curve her hips a little with a slight shake every time she took a step and Jai Walia did not notice it at first but when he noticed he could not take his eyes from her.
And then Bani wanted to catch the man in the act so she stopped all of a sudden and voila!!! Jai just walked straight into her but the force was so intense that it knocked Bani off her feet and she would have fallen flat on her face when Jai Walia put his strong arms around her waist and pulled her back and turned her in one swift action and she was facing him.
Once again both of them found themselves close to each other. And this time Bani broke the gaze and walked away smiling to herself the effect she had on Jai Walia. And Jai smiled to himself knowing that conquering Bani would not be as hard as he thought.
The heart never realizes the game the minds plays but even the mind cannot control when the heart falls in love with someone because then the heart rules all the way as the mind also speaks the voice of the heart and compels you to think about that one person that means so much to you.
That one person who will take away all the sadness and fill your life with nothing but laughter and memories that both you will cherish for the rest of your lives together.
Bani invited him to the Teacher's Lounge where all of the teachers use to sit and talk. It was a staff room with a private room for teachers to have conference with a parent or a student as when it was needed.
The conference room had simple furnishings. It was not fancy furniture but it did the job. The conference room had a simple desk with three chairs in it. A sofa behind the visitors chairs. A simple phone and office stationeries with a ceiling fan going at a speed with which both Jai-Bani's heart were pounding and threatening at a alarming place to just pop-out from their respective places.
As both entered the room, Bani said the first word between them, 'Mr. Walia please have a seat.'
Jai said, 'Ms. Dixit, please have a seat'
Bani said, 'You first Mr. Walia.'
Jai said, 'I have to insist you first Ms. Dixit.'
Thus started a very different kind of battle between them as to who should sit in the chair first. The peon who came with water and tea for them found it not only amusing but also hilarious that two people were acting so weirdly. As he observed and saw both were pointing to the chairs and kept saying, 'Mr. Walia,' And 'Ms. Dixit' but nothing else was being said. Now what?
Hence the peon decided to interrupt and asked them what if both of them sat at the same time. Both smiled and sat down the peon happy that he seemed to have solved a international crisis here kept the water and tea and then left the room shaking his head that both of these people were either in love or were about to fall in love. And hence me came out and made a mobile call to someone telling them what was happening between Jai-Bani?
The peon listened to the next set of his instructions before switching off the phone call. The peon said to himself looking at the room seems like you are in for a surprise Jai-Bani. He smiled to himself knowing fully well that he was making some heavy cash for this information. It did intrigued him a little that someone could be so interested in a couple so much that they were paying so heavily for the information about Jai-Bani.
Back in the room the scenario had not changed either. Both were quiet and kept looking at each other like two mute persons. Anyway this time again Bani broke the gaze and asked him what were his requirements about the report and she would have to visit the Walia Group of Industries for few days exactly the way Jai Walia wanted it to happen. He wanted to make her fall in love on familiar grounds where everything works the way he wants it to work. He determines the rules of the games and how it will be played also. He thought himself in the tiger's den you do as you are told. You have no choice in the matter in the same way as Bani Dixit would be a helpless victim when Jai Walia turns his charm on.
Bani on the other hand told herself, two can play this game Jai Walia. It takes two to tango. If you think you are winning that is because I am letting you win not the other way around. I have to let you win a few brownie points before I take you down completely and devour you. This is just the beginning and you have not seen anything and I mean anything. You are not a tiger but a goat that will be slaughtered by a huntress called Bani Dixit.
Bani came back to the real world when Jai Walia told her that this will not be a problem at all come what may. He will take care of all the details. Bani looked at the time on the wall clock and told Jai that her class was about to start so she will have to leave now. Jai stunned her when he said will it be alright if he observed how she taught? Bani was in two minds what to do. She could not tell yes but a no would be that she lost the game. She was not going to let him have the sense of satisfaction that Jai Walia was looking for. She said to herself over my dead body.
Bani told Jai Walia it will be her pleasure and walked to her classroom with Jai Walia tagging behind her. The students were stunned to find a man coming to their class as Jai quietly sat himself down at the last desk in the class.
This was about to turn out more fun than either of them had planned out. Let the games begin Jai-Bani said to each other''
The class was being taught and Jai kept observing Bani. It was nothing but an Herculean task for Bani herself to concentrate on students when a man she knew was doing nothing but checking her every body movement, the smallest detail of her mannerism he is trying to determine something, but what?
Bani thought to herself I will know in good time.
Jai kept looking at Bani not knowing what to think. The bet was as good as won. She will be his. Jai Walia was certain in fact confident of that fact.
After the class was over Jai walked and said to Bani, 'Nice class you teach well.'
Bani smiled and said, 'Glad I have your approval.'
Jai said, ' You got that right.'
Bani said, 'So did you learn anything today Jai'I mean Mr. Walia.'
Jai a little shocked to hear Bani call him Jai, but tried to hide that fact but was unable to. He wondered when did they became first name basis, all the same this was a nice development.
Jai smiled and said, 'Yes madam.'
Bani smiled and said, 'Great have a good day Mr. Walia.'
And then she walked away.
Leaving Jai thinking what was this all about.
Bani said to herself there is more from where that came from Mr. Walia.
Part-IV Jai-Bani First Date:
It was Bani's turn to come to the Walia Group of Industries Jai Walia just could not wait for Bani to come. On his ground Jai Walia was the king and Bani was someone he had to conquer her mind, body and soul then only he could win that bet the one that will once again prove that Jai Walia was the undisputed king of the world and anyone who tries to challenge the man should do so at their own peril.
Bani walked into the Walia Group of Industries knowing exactly what to expect the man would do anything to woo her he things money can buy everything not me Jai Walia you need more than money and your power to make an impression on me and so far you have made an impression that you nothing but a horndog.
Bani walked into the lobby of the Walia Group of Industries looking at the lavish settings of the furniture and display of paintings. The lobby was carpeted wall to wall. The reception desk looked the size of the cabin to her.
Bani walked up to the reception desk to that she had come but before she could reach the desk she heard Jai Walia's voice which greeted her to the Walia Group of Industries she seemed stunned as she was not expecting him to greet her personally Jai saw her surprised look and smiled to herself so he had won the first round on his turf, so what was new? Jai Walia only knows how to win and has never lost in his life he was not about to do now.
He showed Bani around the Walia Group of Industries his personal tour and then Bani went on and started to do her feasibility report in a cabin provided by Jai Walia. The cabin was large with expensive furnishings and rugs. The desk with a laptop looked amazing as Bani started to take care of the report and the job at hand.
Lunch time came and Bani was still working on her report when Jai Walia came and asked her to come with him for lunch. The lunch would be in his cabin. Jai Walia escorted Bani to his cabin.
In Jai Walia's cabin the servers were ready to serve them both. The servers were dressed in tuxedo and bows and ensuring that they will be the lunch went according to how Jai wanted it to go.
The table was set-up for two and cuisines waiting to be served. Jai Walia pulled a chair for Bani and she sat and Jai then went and sat right next to her stunning Bani. Jai Walia knew how to take a women by surprise and Bani was not going to be any different. Jai Walia had done this many times and for him this was one of those moves that me made to impress women. Jai Walia though did not have a clue Bani was expecting all these moves from him after all this is what people like Jai Walia do when they try to impress girls.
The lunch went well both did not speak a word but could not help but keeping looking at each other. Jai-Bani seemed to be lost in a trance when the servers came and took their plates breaking their trance this time Jai was the first one to walk away.
As Bani was leaving to get back to the pending work Jai said, 'Bani, I was wondering what you are doing tonight. Would you like to go out for dinner with me?'
Bani was looking straight into his eyes wondering the man does not let leave any chances. Well, she was getting what she wanted. She was going to teach this man a lesson. She smiled and said, ' Sure. I would love that very much Jai.' And then walked away leaving Jai smiling to himself.
People say love is like a game of cat and mouse but then if you are looking to win in love you will only loose how can you win in this game when you lost the most important thing that you possessed within you, your heart.
Both Jai-Bani were playing a game which they were destined to loose and would not realize that the game of love whichever hand you play you were destined to loose.
So the date had been set Jai and Bani were going to have their first dinner together. Bani had to look excited and happy about it. All she thought to herself you have to win the bet.
The restaurant chosen was everything the modern and sleek place. Jai Walia had ensured that he will not be disturbed by anyone. He had booked a private dining and he had decorated it with balloons, flowers and a romantic candle light dinner, live music the works. He knew how to woo a girl and he almost had Bani and he was so close to wining her heart.
Bani walked into a restaurant and was brought to this exclusive private room booked my Jai Walia as she entered the room her heart made a thousands of leap when she saw how beautifully the room had been decorated. Bani drifted to the world of her dreams how much she wanted this to be real. But was this? Or was this a mirage of a life and love she wanted? The very thought brought her back into the present and it made her sick to the core that she may be deceiving a man that may actually like her only time will be able to answer that question truthfully, until then she had to play by the rules that she had created and was going to create to and make Jai Walia fall in love with her.
Jai saw Bani walk in and was just mesmerized by the sight of this simple yet alluring beauty the strings of his hearts started playing the song of love something that had never happened to the enigma called Jai Walia. What was it that was attracting him towards Bani was her simplicity or was it the fact that someone who could be so beautiful yet so simple at the same time. Jai felt bad for a moment what if the woman standing in front of him was the one who was actually falling in love with him. Was it right to break someone's heart? A question whose answer he was not willing to find out. The very thought brought him back to present and to the woman who was standing and looking at him. As Jai Walia approached her he saw she was dressed in a blue and pink sari with a matching jewelry and a glow on her face which will even make the moonlight pale. The woman named Bani looked so beautiful that Jai felt like proposing to her but then he remembered how can he'''''''
Bani had been watching Jai Walia as he approached towards her and the man was a demi-good dressed in black ready to kill her with his looks, charms and the smile which always took Bani's breath away. Was this real?
Jai came and stood in front of Bani and looked deep into her eyes. Jai took Bani by her hand and took her on the dance floor and started dancing with her. Bani just matched herself with the moment. She got carried in the moment and she went with the flow. Both were dancing and then Jai told her that he likes her a lot and wanted to see her on a regular basis. And Bani smiled and agreed with that and hence the dating and courting of Jai-Bani began.
Part- V Courtship Begins- Moments to Cherish or Heart About to be Broken???
Jai-Bani began dating each other on a regular basis and things began to take a different turn both seem to be getting along with each other.
There was a moment in time both forgot that they were pretending to be in love and not actually in love with each other but then they were too mesmerized in the magic of the moment that they forgot that if and when the truth came out it will finish the relationship which had began to blossom slowly and developing into a love story as know one had seen in the modern history.
Jai would wait for Bani and Bani would wait for Jai and this became a tradition between them. Both started to count not just the hours, minutes but the seconds that they would meet each other again. As both had started to get used to the each others company and things were going smoothly.
But then as both started to realize that they had stopped pretending and had slowly fallen in love with each other and now were on dangerous ground as the truth would ruin a start of a beautiful love story.
Jai and Bani's friends were keeping tabs on both of them and were seeing their progress on a regular basis. And both Jai-Bani's friends were waiting for a confession and when that happens Jai would have once again proved that Jai Walia is the best. And Bani's friends knew that Bani is proved that nothing is impossible you just need to know how to approach.
Finally the day had come when both decided not only to tell the truth but also confess their true love for each other.
Will they be able to confess their love for each other without the truth tainting both their judgments and beliefs?
Part- VI Confession and the Fatal Truth
Both Jai and Bani had made up their minds to confess their love for each other and were going to reveal this in front of their friends.
Both Jai-Bani's friends were waiting for them in the same restaurant. Both the group was oblivious to each other's presence waiting to see how would be the victor in this battle of the heart? Jai Walia or Bani Dixit?
As Jai walked into the restaurant where his friends were waiting he looked for Bani and hoped he was able to talk to her before his friends came. He did not see his friends as they were sitting away from his view as they wanted to surprise him upon his victory.
Jai looked around and then he decided to use the restroom before Bani came as he was getting nervous.
Bani entered the restaurant and looked around for Jai she wanted to talk and tell him that she was in love with him before her friends approached. Now Bani also did not see her friends as they were sitting away from her view as they wanted to surprise her when she won.
Both Jai-Bani's friends wanted to surprise them and believe me the surprise would shatter the very image of love both had. But then both could not blame anyone but themselves as it was them who had decided to take part in this dangerous game of love.
As Bani kept looking around for Jai for sometime and finally saw him coming. He saw her and both smiled at each other. Both Jai-Bani's heart rate kept pacing at an alarming rate. Both had to tell each other how much they loved each other and could no longer remain separate otherwise living even a single moment without the other would be like living a life full of curse.
Both came in front of each other. There was a lump in their throat and their heart was skipping beats and their hands were sweating with excitement and nervousness. Both Jai-Bani's friends were now watching the scene very carefully as the moment of truth was abou to be revealed what will happen next was anybody's guess.
Jai looked into Bani's smoldering eyes and told her that she was in love with her and Bani confessed that her heart now only belonged to Jai as she could never love anyone in her life again.
Before either Jai or Bani could answer each other their friends came out congratulating each other on their success. And the look on the face of both Jai-Bani was something that could be frozen in time. As it was finally revealed to both of them that all the romance and love that had occurred between them was only to win a bet and nothing was real.
That broke their hearts completely to be duped by the person both thought they knew and loved.
Both walked away in tears as both felt hurt and betrayed by one another more liked tricked but then neither could raise their finger on the other as they both were not different that each other.
For both of them winning was the ultimate thrill and they did what needed to be done in order to win the bet not realizing that in the battle of love the heart always looses because it falls in love and does not know how to pretend?
Both Jai-Bani gave their friends a look of such contempt and disgust that it stunned both the groups as to what had happened as Jai and Bani both walked from each other both wanting to talk to each other and shout at the other for betraying and playing with their feelings but both of them disgusted with themselves and ashamed to even face themselves just walked away with tears in their eyes and a broken heart which will neither be mended or would ever be able to love someone?
Was this the end of a relationship? or a beginning of another ????
Part VII- The Fall of a Relationship or Beginning of Love?????
Both Jai-Bani knew one thing that life would never be the same anymore. The heart that did not know the meaning of love until now, also did not know the meaning of how to stop loving someone, was it even possible both thought to each other.
Both were angrier with themselves than anyone else as both believed that they had brought this upon themselves. How could they have been so stupid??? Something needed to be done but what???
Both knew that with each passing day they kept thinking about the romantic moments that they had spent together, that time was the best in their lives even if now looked like fake but at that time it looked real and somewhere both their hearts kept saying that those moments were real not cooked up fiction, and both knew one thing they had to get each other back know matter what.
What could be done to alter this unfavorable situation? What could be done to ensure to bring Bani back in his life? Jai had started to remain quiet and aloof and distance himself from everything. How could he live his life when the only thing worth living was no longer with him?
How could she let the man of her dreams walk away from her life? How could she let that happen? Jai was hers and only hers and she will get him back in her life by hook or crook. She loved the man, yes she said to herself that Bani loves Jai Walia and she will get him back if it means to turn the clock of the time. Jai Walia was hers and only hers.
Jai Walia had not written a poetry in a long time. And with Bani now not in his life Jai after a long time started to pen his feelings down on a piece of paper. He wrote:
Dard Kya Hota Tha,
Yeh Sirf Suna Tha Maine,
Dard Kya Hai,
Aaj Janna Hai Maine,
Tum Jab Mere Pas Thi, Tho Mujhse Bahut Door Thi,
Aur Aaj Door Hookar Bhi Meri Parchai Ban Gayi Ho Tum,
Kyu Aisa Hota Zindagi Main,
Hum Aapne Pyaar Ko Dekh Nahi Pata Hai,
Aur Jab Dekhita Hai Toh Woh Humse,
Door Ja Chuka Hota Hai,
Lekin Kahi Hai Maine Bhi Aaj Ek Kasam,
Tumhe Mujhe Aapna Banaana Hai,
Kyunki Hum Ho Gaye Aapke!!!!!!!
On the other hand Bani had never thought about writing in her life but she had to pen her feelings down. She wrote:
Kya khoon Main Aapse,
Kuch Keh Nahi Pa Rahi Hoon,
Dil Main Hai Itna Armaan,
Par Seena Maine Dub Gaye Hai,
Ab Main Kaha Jaoo,
Aaj Ek Baat Ka Ehsaas Hua,
Ki Meri Zindgai aapse Shuru Hokar,
Aap Par Hi Khatam Jo Jayegi,
Kya Tum Mujhe Maaf Kar Payoge,
Ek Kasam Maine Bhi Aaj Khai Main,
Ki Tum Sirf Mere Ho,
Aur Tumhe aapne Banane Ki Kasam,
Khai Hai Maine,
Kyuki Hum Ho Gaye Aapka!!!!!!!!
With the new found resolution in both Jai-Bani's heart both decided they will get each other back.
Now the only one question that baffled them a lot and that was HOW????
Part- VIII Mission Impossible- Jai-Bani Try To Woo Each Other
The new approach to get each other back was something both Jai-Bani thought about all day. They had to meet each other how? That was another big question until Jai Walia smiled again as there was still pending work on the feasibility project which Bani had left unfinished. The study was complete but still finishing touches needed to be taken care of. So Jai Walia called Mrs. Kaul and told her that he wanted the project finished as soon as possible. No delays. He will not tolerate it. Come what may.
As Jai kept the phone he smiled as he knew he had forced Bani to come to Walia Industry even if she did not want to come. Little did Jai Walia knew that Bani herself had been waiting for exactly this very opportunity.
When Bani came to know she had to go back to the Walia Industry she saw an opportunity to get Jai back. The love she had in her heart for Jai could not be kept to herself she had to take a chance or she would die just thinking about it. She could never do that.
Jai Walia had been thinking what will he do and what he will not do to get Bani back little did he know that Bani was planning the exact same thing at the time. This had gone way too far now. What had started as a bet had suddenly created a huge rift between them.
Both Jai-Bani had thought that this would be fun and they would get a kick out of it. I mean Jai-Bani could not believe that they could not trust each other after all these years of marriage. They had been married now for 8 years and now this.
Jai still remembered in the flashback when Bani had told him that there was no romance left in their lives and they had decided to place a bet between themselves pretending to be single and try to woo each other what they did not account for was the bet that their friends had placed on them.
Jai-Bani had taken the bet all in good spirits but then by the time they had realized what had gone wrong it had been too late. The rift and the misunderstanding between them had been firmly placed.
Jai Walia decided enough was enough he had to get his wife back. They had two children what about them?
Bani on the other hand had cursed the day she had playfully and jokingly told Jai that thre was no romance left in the marriage little did she know that the very marriage would be at stake. Bani did not want to go ahead with this later but Jai had challenged her and then she had taken the bet.
As Bani entered the Walia Industry she knew this time there was no pretending this was real. She would be facing her husband whom she loved more than her life. This had gone way too far and she had to do something about it.
The moment Bani entered Jai Walia's cabin she looked at the man she loved the most and Jai looked at Bani and the moment was born once again the sheer magic was present. And time stood still as neither of them spoke but yet said everything they wanted to.
Now both had waited for this moment for a long time'.now what???
Part-IX Surrender to Tune to the Thing called Love''
Both kept looking at each other and could not believe that this had happened. The one thing that had kept their relationship always alive was the trust and honesty between them. They had never hidden any secrets from each other. They both spoke their mind and yet they found themselves at the crossroads of their marriage because of their own stupidity.
Both kept looking at each other wanting to say so many things yet were unable to barely speak a syllable'now what they both kept thinking'.
They were husband and wife they had two kids together 8 years of marriage yet there was silence between them like it did not want them to talk to them.
Finally Jai said, 'Bani, I think it is time we had a talk this thing has gone too far? Don't you think enough is enough?'
Bani looked at Jai Walia and said, 'I agree with you, this thing has gone too far, all you need to do is apologize and we can call this even.'
Jai looked at Bani, 'Why do I have to apologize to you, Bani what did I do?'
Bani looked at him and said, 'This was all your doing from the beginning. I just played along for you.'
Jai is like, 'Hey Bhagwaan!!! Are you trying to tell me this was my idea to begin with? And you had not planned anything? Oh!!! You are not that innocent Mrs. Walia??'
Bani looked at him and before she could say anything Jai Walia put his lips on his wife's lips and kissed her hard and at first Bani resisted the kiss but she kissed him back and slowly they both were tasting each other mouths. This time it was their lips and tongue doing the talking and it talked for a long time as Jai's hands started to move all around Bani and then Bani's hands were moving around his neck caressing him and this just made Jai Walia want Bani more than ever.
This was going all too well now.
So Jai-Bani kept kissing each other'..
Part-X The Valentine's Ball- The Union of One Soul and Two Hearts
The Walia House was once again decorated like a new bride and the entire Walia House living room was decorated with red balloons all over the place. Jai Walia was waiting for his wife Bani and then he saw her coming from the stairs and he smiled she was the woman he had once again fallen in love all over again.
Bani dressed in a red saree and Jai Walia dressed in black as usual looked a man who had found his life. Both looked amazingly in sink with each other. As Jai asked Bani for a dance Jai Bani smiled and walked to dance with the man she loved the most.
Jai And Bani were dancing together looking each other like the whole world did not exist for them and both were made for each other the red balloons kept flying all over the place, live music playing and the entire Walia family looking at them.
Ranveer was happy that this was all over and called and thanked the peon and other people who kept him aware of what was happening? It was time he talked with his Mamaji and Mamiji about his and Raashi's marriage?
Ranveer approached Jai-Bani and told him that he wanted to talk to them about something and both Jai-Bani smiled at each other knowing what this was all about?
As Ranveer started to speak at that time Jai-Bani saw their light of their lives coming to them. Jai saw his son Rohan and his daughter Krishna running towards them. Rohan was the eldest he was 6 years old and Krishna was 4 years old and both were what made Jai-Bani live their lives besides the love they had for each other.
Ranveer asked them, 'Thank god!!! All your pretending drama is over. What happens to you on Valentine's day and when it is about to approach you guys create some kind of a scene or something.'
Both Jai-Bani kept smiling at first then laughing asking Ranveer if he wanted to know what they were planning for next year. They told him if he listened maybe next year he and Raashi could join. The name of Raashi made Ranveer turn and look at them. Ranveer smiled knowing so well that his job was done.
Rano and Pia were too happy to see Jai-Bani back together and their friends thankful that everything was resolved well.
Epilogue:
Jai-Bani both decided they had enough fun and next time they will have a quite romantic dinner and Jai was like it is a great idea but what if''.
Both smiled and knew for them the games were just beginning'.
After all they kept each other guessing'..
And biggest of all'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye''..
And Bani said'.Hum Ho Gaye Aapke'.
The End'.. or the Beginning'..
