Chapter 7

Pehli nazar mein
Kaise jaado kar diya
Tera ban baitha hai
Mera jiya
Jaane kya hoga
Kya hoga kya pata
Iss pal ko milke
Aa jee le zara...

As Jai watched Bani's taxi disappear into the distance, he sighed and smiled to himself. The short hairs on the back of his neck began to prickle. A sure sign of impending trouble. Fortunately, he and trouble were intimate acquaintances. Handling strife was his chief talent and major occupation.

And the most important thing he had learned over the years was that it was far safer to meet the arrival of trouble head-on than to ignore it and hope it would leave you alone. This trouble in question........he had invited upon himself and was definitely not about to let it go.

Running his fingers through his hair, Jai recalled his verbal duel with Bani, her smart retorts, red flushed cheeks, her anger and most of all the existence of 'feelings' for him even though she pretended not to have any. He pitied Pia, the poor girl had been shredded to pieces today by her neighbor.

But why?

Because Pia was with 'him' and somebody couldn't stand the sight of that.

So Mzzz Sugar n Spice makes all things nice did like him after all, in fact like him enough to feel jealous when she saw him with another woman. She tried her best to cover it......for jealousy dislikes the world to know it exists. Interesting.....very very interesting. Just what the doctor would have ordered to cure a stubborn ailment..........

Stubborn but cute, fragile yet strong, independent yet vulnerable, sighhhhhhh.

What an exquisite creature she was! Seeing her dressed for work today, Jai wondered why she bothered to hide those curves under her woman's idea of a man's power suit. With curves like that, most men would not mind the lack of brains. But she had plenty. A quick wit with a sharp tongue. Jai sensed that underneath her no-nonsense facade burned a passionate woman just waiting to be unleashed.

Jai always knew that some day the perfect woman would walk into his life. Only he'd not expected a PA in a three-piece suit and at this juncture of his life, but he'd adapt because she was definitely worth it.

He had taken advantage of the time Pia distracted her with their argument to let his gaze roam over her length. Even though the fluorescent lighting in the hallway made most people look shallow, his Mzzzs' creamy complexion glowed with health and vitality. The bloom in her cheeks reminded him of freshly opened rose petals. Full, kissable lips tempted him to taste them right then and there. She smelled heavenly, like night blooming Jasmine. Females who wore alluring scents had always fascinated him. All the more if they had sweet honeyed voices, come-hither eyes, perky breasts and legs that didn't seem to end. What a delectable package, practically made to order. Just for him.

When she had glanced up at Jai during their argument, the creamy column of her throat looked more alluring than a summer rain after a long drought. He almost forgot where he was and what he was supposed to be fighting about.

The parade of women who chased him faded from his memory. He was tired of being just a pretty face. Most women in this fast paced world didn't care if he had substance or not, as long as they could wrap him around their arms and show him off. Jai had started to feel like a trophy at times and he hated that feeling.

Somewhere he'd known there was someone who'd recognize and appreciate him for who he really was. Someone who would laugh at his jokes because she understood them and not merely to make him feel good. Someone who could converse with him on his level. Someone who didn't put him on a pedestal and expect him to stay there forever.

So she'd turned down him down flat yet again, which presented a major problem. But he wasn't beaten. The chase was still on.

Jai was definitely going to find out as much as he could about this enigma. Her name to begin with. A touch of larceny wasn't beyond him with this prize in sight. The challenge whetted his appetite. Jai smiled as it hit him........he knew just the place from where he could get his first break.

Run run as fast as you can, I will catch you coz' I'm the gingerbread man.

********************************************************

It was almost nine, by the time Bani returned to her safe sanctuary. What was supposed to have started out as a luncheon meeting turned into high-tea and then dinner. But the deal was finalized and that is what mattered the most. Considering the number of hours Bani had put it, the extra money she earned today would come in very handy, so no complaints on that front too. She would have returned earlier, but her boss Sonali wanted Bani to make some personal purchases for her. Bani wondered if all personal assistants were meant to be shopping assistants too.........maybe here in the States things worked differently than back home.

As she started heading towards her apartment, Bani saw Pia walking down the stairs hand in hand with a well dressed man. Bani assumed it would be Jai and cursed her luck for always running into him, but when the man opened his mouth to say something to Pia, she realized it wasn't Jai after all. Her heart skipped a beat.......she smiled then checked herself immediately as she came face to face with Pia and her date.

The man politely smiled but Pia scowled at Bani as she moved over to one side of the staircase so that they could pass through first.

Bani's mind started racing with questions.......was Jai really not involved with Pia? Was that why he had insisted she use her brains and think for herself before jumping to conclusions? Had she erred so badly? If so, what was that she witnessed in Pia's apartment this morning, they definitely looked like a cozy twosome who had something going on between them. Maybe it wasn't that serious, perhaps Pia has decided to play the field before settling down.....variety was the spice of life, at least in the States that seemed to be most people's motto in life. Well why does she care, serves Jai right for choosing a woman like Pia.

She was jerked out of her thoughts when Bani felt something sharp kick her in the area around her ankle. Before she could figure out what it was, Bani had fallen on the landing and her belongings had scattered all over.

"Lady, are you alright ?" asked the man who was with Pia.

Bani looked up in pain, her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears. She was about to ask the man for help but stopped when she saw an evil smile playing on Pia's lips. "Come on darling, we don't have time for this, we have reservations to keep."

"B...but....."

"No but, she looks alright to me. Wonder why women wear such high-heeled shoes when they can't manage to walk in them. It doesn't even suit her, such bad fashion sense, I tell you?" said Pia and pulled the man away.

The man continued to walk down while Pia pulled a tissue out of her purse and wiped the tip of her shoe with it. "Sweet revenge," she whispered and threw the used tissue in Bani's direction. "Told you not to play in the big league."

Hai daya.........Ek zor ka lafa dena iss nikami ko puttar....uski yeh zurrat, meri gudiya koh chot pahuchaye. Chodna nahin uss se puttar, aisa sabak sikhana ki sasuri ki nani yaad aa jaye.

Jo hokum Dadi. Bani glowered at Pia. This meant war. How low could this woman stoop? She tripped her on purpose and then has the gall to make fun of her dressing style. Fine, two can play the same game, but not now. Right now, Bani had to get her things together and nurse her sore ankle.

To be continued...........

Please do leave your feedback/comments if you feel I deserve them.

fight fight fight!!!!!

come on round 1..

saby, what a wonderful part to read...I especially like dadi's advices that kind of come up in between and the way you take the efforts to put them in italics...it really helps to clearly identify them...the other thing that I liked is Jai's description of Bani and the metaphors that he uses for her..fresh rose petals...wow...completely romantic....

I seem to remember reading that you are taking a paper on sat...was it the sat that just passed by or the coming one..either way good luck (for the exam or results !)
