Chapter #5
Bani noticed someone staring at her, she looked in the corner of her eyes; it was a boy in his twenty-five or six. Bani smiled and the boy smiled back and kept looking at her, Bani turned her gaze away. "Hey Bani, let's go to eat something" Javed Uncle told them. "Haan, Shikha cooked nice food with farata and pancake and papaya juice with mixed vegetables beans", the old woman told Nishikant. "Alright, Sani Aamma". Bani tried hard to grin, but the thought of "fried vegetables" wanted to make her puke.
Bani and her father walked through the corridor. It was an old colonial house, renovated with blue bricks and woods but embedded in concrete materials. "Sani Aunty, why you live in old style ways; I mean clothes and language when you have all facilities, even you eat ancient food type things". "Foolish! Everyone calls me Sani Aamma and so do you, aunty waunty won't work here, and we like India, India is great so we like Indian style and Indian food, okay", Sani told Bani. Bani scowled at her dad; glaring at him. Nishikant avoided Bani's look. It made him a 10000 year old dad than just a 57 year old one.

"Ouff, this school is killing me, mom" Anu whined dropping her bag on the sofa, next to Jigyasa. Just then Rano and Rashi came; Rano was helping expectant Rashi to move and walk. "This school is killing me" Anu groaned again, loud so that she got everyone's attention. "What happened, Drama Queen?" Jigyasa asked looking up her Fashion Times Magazine. "Tomorrow we have mathematics assessment and I don't know anything" Anu mourned. "Alright, there is no mourning here, nobody is dead yet" Jigyasa said focusing back on her magazine "just practice, practice makes perfect". "Thank you" Anu scowled at her mom. "No need to die, I may help you if you want" Rano offered. "You'll, oh, thank you Bhabhi...I love you" Anu jumped in joy.

Bani sat down on her chair; and looked down at her food "right, Shikha cooked the food that means fry and oily food" she thought feeling hot on her collar. "Take more, more" Sani told Bani "put more Shikha, she must be hungry". Shikha poured more oily cakes on her plate. Bani leaned to her dad and said "I'll become fat" she whined. Nishikant smiled looking down at his plate and forced a laugh. "Nishi, Why are you laughing" Sani asked Nishikant. "The detective" Bani whispered to her dad. Nishikant choked her food; Bani giggled silently passing her dad a glass of water. "Nishi, what happened?" Sani Aamma asked. "The food isn't good" Shikha asked emotionally. Nishikant quickly shook his head vigorously. "Yes" Bani muttered under her breathe. "Shikha behen, the food is extremely good" Bani said. Shikha blushed.

"Bhabhi..." Anu said joyfully "you are a pro, simply genius" Anu danced around happily. "What happened, sissy, ants in your pants" Sahil said joking and teasing his sister. Rano looked amused at them. "Nothing, dumb macho man, just I am sure to pass in flying colours in my Maths exam" she said ducking up and down and continuing dancing. Rano smacked her on the arm. "How? You stole the paper and answered all questions or you bribed the teacher" Ranveer laughed. "Ha...ha...Very funny" Anu said. "Stop teasing her" Raashi told Ranveer. "Just because there is a brain in the house to help me" Anu said indignantly scowling at both brothers. "Shut up, Anu, you only need to know the formulas". "Huh? Whatever but I am going to pass this time, not fail".

Bani was eating a fried potato when she saw someone staring at her. The thought made her stomach churned; someone watching her every move. Bani looked up her plate and saw the same twenty-five year old man. "Arrey, Desh puttar, come here" Sani told the man. "Oh, Desh" Bani thought "very urban". "Bani, Nishi, this is Desh" Shikha introduced "my brother". "Desh, this is Ms. Bani and her father Nishikant, Bani is a great painter" Sani told him. Desh grinned like a monkey to Bani making her sick to death. "Love...Love in the air" Desh's mind rang. "Huh?" Desh said alarmed. Everyone looked at him as if he was insane. Bani raised an eyebrow to Sani but Sani quickly jumped in saying "he's not mad just a little weird". "Oh" Bani forced a smile. "This family was completely mad" she thought. "Dad, this is mental asylum. When we'll go home" Bani muttered pondering about the one week she was going to pass here.

Rano was talking to Rashi and Rashi was giggling making Jigyasa and Anu to laugh out their heads. "Honestly your brother must be a real dummy" Anu laughed. "Dummy...a freak" Rano smiled. "Night everyone".
Rano entered her room feeling really sleepy. Her phone rang and Sonali's number flashed. "Hello Di" Rano said over the phone walking near the window; looking outside. "How's everything?" Sonali asked. "Fine" Rano said biting her lips. "You don't know how to lie, Rano" Sonali told her. Rano sighed "How did you know I was lying...everyone is so nice here but..." she said leaving her sentence incomplete. "Good night Di, nice sleep" she wished Sonali. Rona disconnected and turned around and saw Sahil looking at her. She looked down and walked away.

"Bani...Bani...wait" Desh said running to catch her. "Yes" Bani said and thought "foolish". "I fell in love with a fairy at first sight". "Oh?" she said not knowing what else to. "Do you believe love at first sight" he asked her. "No" she said shaking her head. "Me, I do'and I am going to ask her today, actually now" Desh said excitedly. "Bani, I love you'will you marry me" Desh asked. Bani stared at him, dumbstruck. "What...?" she said.
