Bani keeps the receiver of the phone and turns around. She is really confused and a thousand questions are rushing in her mind.
Bani (lost in thought, unaware of anything around her anymore, thinking): Why did he leave suddenly? Or did he mention it to me and I don't remember? How long has he gone for?
NOTE: Mausi has not left and is still at the Walia Mansion.
Mausi comes and sees Bani all confused. She starts smiling.
Mausi: Bani, Jai ko gaye huye sirf kuch hi ghante huye hai and apni shakal to dekho. (Mausi starts laughing). Bani idhar mere saath aake bheto.
Bani(thinking): Mausi knew?
Bani goes and sits by mausi on the sofa.
Mausi: Bani you know today before Jai was leaving he came to my room. And you know what he said to me. He said, "Mausi I don't know why but whenever I see tears in Bani's eyes I feel like someone has taken a hold of my heart and not allowing it to beat any longer. I don't understand it Mausi?" Can you belive it Bani, Munna itna bada ho gaya magar bache ka bacha hi raha. Mausi starts to laugh.
A smile appears on Bani's face and she hugs Mausi, she can't believe that Mr. Walia cares for her. She is happy but suddenly she feels tears rolling down her cheeks.
Bani(confused thinking): I am happy then why am I crying? Could it be that for the first time I am experiencing tears of joy?
Mausi (seeing Bani crying): Arre Bani, Jai has only gone for a week he will back back soon. I know this is the first time you both are separte after marriage but don't cry so much because if you do what will I tell my Jai when he comes back that I couldn't keep his Bani happy? (Mausi wipes Bani's tears, Bani starts smiling).
...
Bani goes upstairs to Sid's room.
Bani(in a happy and jolly mood): Sid! I am so happy! Mr. Walia cares for me, can you believe he told Mausi he doesn't like it when i cry!!! (Sid is quiet and does not say anything) I am going to go and call Mr. Walia right now.
As Bani is about to leave...
Sid: Bani, I am happy to see you smiling, just keep smiling like this.
Bani: Thank you Sid, for being my friend.
Bani leaves to call Jai.
