Veer took a deep breath and licked his dry lips. His wait was finally going to be over.

V: Kitne saal hr ek pal maine sirf iss din ka intezaar kiya hai...Bani...meri Bani..

He opened the door with a small smile and tears in his eyes. He couldn't meet her eyes but when his gaze landed on manly shoes, he looked up. It was a police officer.

V: Yes?

P: Ye Miss Bani Sharma ka ghar hai?

Mayuri saw the police officer and came forth.

M: Ji?

P: Aap?

M: Mai unki friend...aap bataiye kya hua hai??

P: Ye unka phone aur wallet milla tha road pr girra hua. Kuch saman aur tha pr vo ration ka saman tha isliye store ke pass hi chod diya..aap logon se kuch puch-tach krni hai..

Fear washed over both their faces.

V: Kya hua meri Bani ko..?? BOLO!!!!

P: Calm down sir. Store manager ka phone aya tha, he saw three men kidnap her and called us. Please come with me and check the footage. Shayad aap unhe pehchan jao..

V: Okay- Mayuri, tum please Rehan ke saath rukna..

Veer hurried to the station with the officers. They showed him the footage. Veer's heart skipped a beat when he saw his love step out of the store in pastel kurti and white pants. She was walking down the store's steps when a van stopped in front of her. A hand sprayed something on her face and she began to faint. They quickly got down. The three men put her inside and fought the two people who rushed to save her. Then they speed off and leave.

P: Aap inhe pehchante hai Mr.-?

V: Singhania..

P: Mr. Singhania?

V: (in mind: ye teen Bandar body se toh vo Parikhs hi lag rahe hai pr shakal dhaki hui thi..pr ye human police ko nahi bata skta...I will have to deal this my way..) Nahi sir..

The police did a few more enquiry and let him leave. Once out, Veer walked to a deserted place before changing his roop and flying away. He reached the RWSS building and rushed to Harshkashyap.

V: Harsh!! Mujhe teri madad chahiye..

H: Okay, pr kya??

V: Vo Parikhs hai na, unhone meri Bani ka kidnap kr liya hai..

H: Kon? Teri Bani...Ye –

V: Harsh mai tujhe saari baat batunga pr tu pehle un teeno ko track krne me meri help kr..

H: Unke saare admit oh humne maar giraye they, kuch zinda hai pr captured hai...hum unhe supernatural court me saza dilwana chahte they...mai ek kaam krta hoon, unse enquiry krta hoo ki Parikhs ki location mi jaye

V: Thik hai..

H: Aur tu jaakr Mr. Wadhia se baat kr...vo waise toh senior Cheel baccho ki class lete hai pr shyd tu unhe jaanta hai, retirement se pehle vo Cheel army me tracker they..

V: Haan...tu unse enquiry kr..mai baaki cheeze dekhta hoon.

Veer called the guards and sent all the extra ones to find the three clowns. Mr. Wadhia was to lead the mission. He was more than glad to serve the Cheel Prince. Veer could not use all the guards as many were needed to protect the school grounds as well so he called his royal guards from the cheel realm. They were all guided to find the Parikhs or trace Bani. Bani's things were fetched from her house so that trackers could use her scent.

V: Chinta mt kro Sweetheart, I will do anything to have you in my arms again.

....................

The Parikhs were drinking. Bani was covered in belpatras and tied to a pillar. It was an old mill in the woods that was dilapidated and no more in use.

P1: Yrrrrr.......Ye sirji ki problem kya hai...wahan Mumbai me humara business kharab krte they aur aaj ye RWSS pr attack kharab kr diya..in naagin madam ko beemar krke aane se roka tha...Lekin kya faida hua? Hottie nahi gayi toh uska pati pahunch gaya..

P2: wahi na!! Pr ye dono ab alag rehte hai na..kyu?

P3: Kya pata? Pr mujhe to dr is baat ka hai ki jb isse hosh ayega tb kya hoga?

P1: Haan yrr, iske haath ke thapad toh aaj bhi yaad hai mujhe, us time toh isne hume insaan samajh kr chod diya tha..ab nahi chodegi..

P2: Arey isse pehle hum hi isse maar denge...sirji se bhi badla poora ho jayega...alga-peechla sb hisab saaaaf!!!

They all laugh and continue to drink.

.......................

Veer had instructed all men. With the help of the captured men, they had zoomed in on an area. Veer himself was trying to trace Bani when his phone began to ring.

V: Hello?

M: Veer...mai, Mayuri..Bani milli??

V: Mayuri milegi to mai bata dunga na, don't disturb..

M: Nahi actually vo Rehan ko shaq ho raha ki kuch gadbad hai and he was-

V: I understand, mujhe bhi Rehan ki fikar hai aur Bani ki bhi, mai le aunga Bani ko milte hi...

M: Okay. Best wishes. Dhyan rakhna. Mai Rehan ke saath hi rahungi poora time, uski tension mt lena..

Veer ended the call and was all set to fly again when he received another call.

V: Ab kon hai!!!

He picks up the phone and it was Balwant.

Ba: Veer...tune Royal guards kyu bulwaye? Sb thik hai na..

V: I will call you later Ballu...

Ba: Veer!!! Abhi bata...

Veer noticed a tracker come his way. Balwant was saying something but it sounded like background noise to him.

Ba: VEER!!! TUJHSE BAAT KR RAHA HOO...

T: Sir, ek lead milli hai...

Ba: KYA HO RAHA HA-

Veer threw the phone away and flew with the tracker. Veer and his men were inspecting the area. There were tire marks in the deserted jungle road. Upon following the tracks, they all landed in front of an old mill. Veer peeped in an saw a sight that made him furious.

.......................

Bani woke up and found herself in a strange place. She groaned and saw a sight that she did not expect to see. The three clowns she had beaten to pulp when they had kidnapped Veer were sitting in front of her and drinking. Suddenly one of them looked and noticed she was awake.

P1: Guys!!! Hottie to uth gayi..

P2: Baby!!! Kaisi ho?? Miss kiya hume??

P3: Waise we are angry with you hottie. Sirji ke liye hume us din kitna mara aur phir unhe chod gayi..

P1: Arey jaana hi tha toh humare pass aati..

They all laugh and walk closer to Bani. They smell reeked of alcohol.

B: SHUT UP! AUR DOOR RAHO MUJHSE..

P1: Nahi to kya? Naagin das legi..

P2&3: PHISSSSSS

They laugh. Bani's eyes widened.

P1: Uff, iss khoobsurat chehre pr itna frown mt kro...accha nahi lgta...hum batate hai na hume kaise pta..

P2: Haan, vo kya hai na..hum icchadhari nevle hai...but we hid our identity..

P3: Pr ab tum mrne wali ho to socha bata dete hai..ab ho toh tum humari mortal enemy na..

P1: Pr sundar bhi ho, pehle thoda maza ho jaye?

He looked at his brothers and they all agree and laugh. Bani tried to turn her form and help herself but she was powerless due to the belpatras.

B: Ugh!! Himmat hai to chodo mujhe...ye rassi kholo...phir mai batati hoon tum teeno ko..

P1: Hahaha...hum pagal nahi hai jo adi naagin ko is trap se nikalne ki bewakoofi karenge...

P2: Sahi kaha..

They start to circle her and were about to touch her when a loud bang was heard. They all looked at the door which flew open.

P1: KON HAI!?

TERI MAUT!!!

In walked a man in black with confident, strong strides. The three clowns gulped and tried to run but Veer threw the drums around strategically. They all fell down. Then Veer clawed their faces and they started to cry.

P1: Chor do sirji..

P2: Hum apko sirji bolte hai..kitni izzat dete hai...chor do..

V: CHUP!! IZZAT PR HAATH DALNE WAALA IZZAT DENE KI BAAT KRTA HAI!??!?!?!?!

Veer started to beat them all. All anger was pouring in those punches- them hurting him years ago, eve-teasing his wife in front of him, kidnapping her and trying to touch her inappropriately. Hell, had it not been for Balwant forcing him to come to RWSS, they might have harmed his son before he even knew about his existence. He beat the three clowns till they all passed out.

Bani was frozen and watching this with wide eyes. Is this really Veer? Her Veeranshu? It seems like only yesterday they were with each other, yet that yesterday seemed like a lifetime ago. Was he here fighting these men who kidnapped her? Does he remember? Will he accept her or will he verbally abuse her yet again. She did not know if her heart could take another rejection from him.

She faintly noticed the men trying to untie her. She rubbed her wrists where the belpatras had burned her and stood up. Veer had badly thrashed the men and now the guards were taking the semi-dead creatures away- for sure to kill them. Bani was slowly baking away, unsure of everything when she heard words that she longed to hear.

V: Sweetheart?

Bani closed her eyes and a tear escaped. She opened her eyes and was lost in the dark eyes of the man who owned her heart, soul and body. They both drank in each other's eyes. Their souls feeling complete again. Like a dessert traveler finding water after days, they were complete after years of wait.

Tu hi haqeeaqat, Khawwb tu
Dariya tu hi, Pyaas tu
Tu hi dil ke beqarari
Tu sukun tu sukun

Jau mein ab jab jis jagah 
Pau mein tujhko, Us jagah
Saath ho ke na hoon
Tu hai roobaru roobaru
Tu humsafar Tu humkadam
Tu hamnava mera
Tu humsafarTu humkadam
Tu hamnava mera

V: Bani?

Veer had tears in his eyes but as he took a step towards her, Bani's trance was broken. She quickly turned and started to run. Veer was dumbfounded.

Guard: sir!!!! Ma'am ke peeche jaiye ...hum in teeno ko Harsh sir ke pass le jayenge.

Veer smiled thankfully at the guard and rushed after Bani. Bani was crying and running aimlessly before tiring herself and sitting under a tree.

B: KYU KYU KYU??? KYU AYE HO TUM AB? MAI JAISE-TAISE KHUD KO SAMBHALA HAI...AB DOOBARA TOOTNE KR UTHNE KI SHAKTI NAHI HAI MUJHME...MAI DOOBARA TUMHARE MU SE APNE LIYE VO BAATEN NAHI SUN SKTI ...TUM...EK MINUTE...tumne mujhe sweetheart bulaya??

V: Haan, Sweetheart.

Veer jumped from the tree she was sitting under and landed in front of her. Bani got alarmed and wanted to run again but Veer put his hands on either side of the trunk, trapping her between his body and the tree.

B: Veeranshu??

V: Sweetheart..

B: Tum mujhe iss naam se kyu bula rahe hoo.

V: Because I remember everything gharwali..

Bani was shocked. She had always dreamed of this yet never dared to think it could come true. She started to sob loudly and collapsed to the ground. Veer crouched next to her and started to comfort her.

V: Bani??

B: Veeranshu, ye mazak toh nahi hai na...tumhe sach me mai yaad hoon? Mai doobara tumhe mujhe thukrate nahi dekh paungi..mai..mai toot jaungi..Veeranshu...uss farishte ne kaha tha you'll never remember me..

V: Mujhe nahi pata uss Farishte ne jo kaha kyu kaha...but I remembered you the day after you left. Tbse maine sirf tumhara intezaar kiya hai..tumhe kahan kahan nahi dhoonda pr meri naagin apni baat ki pakki rahi..it really was like you never existed and trust me tumhare bina maine sirf exist hi kiya hai, ek pal bhi jiya nahi hai..I missed you so much sweetheart..so much.

Both had tears in their eyes and their heart was filled with happiness of being so close to each other.

B: Veeranshu...mujhe nahi pata tha ki tumhe sb yaad aa chukka hai..I thought-

V: You promised me to confess your feelings...aur phir shyd tumhare bhagwan ko mujhe tadpane me maza aata hai, mera intezaar kitna lamba kr diya..

Bani laughed between her sobs. Then she cupped his face and looked at him seriously.

B: I love you Veeranshu. I really really love you. Maine bohot pyaar kiya hai tumse..In paanch saalo me ek bhi din aisa nahi gaya jb maine tumhe yaad nahi kiya, tumhare liye dua nahi ki..I missed you every day. Without you, I was roaming around with a hole in place of my heart. I felt so hollow. Pr mai wapis aakr tumhe takleef nahi dena chahti thi...phir mujhe laga shyd tum move kon kr chuke hoge..pr..I am so sorry.

V: Tum kyu sorry bol rahi ho...tumhari kya galti hai? I am sorry Bani..I am so so sorry. Mai tumhara gunegaar hoon. Tumhe kitni takleef di hai maine..kya nahi bola...in paanch saalon me maine bhi roz tumhe yaad kiya hai aur khud ko kosa hai...

B: Galti us 'maha-mrityu yog' ki thi, us Jai ki thi jisne vo yog laya..tumhari koi galti nahi thi..

V: Anjane me hi sahi, pr tumhara dil dukhaya hai maine...kya tum kabhi mujhe maaf kr paogi??

B: I know it wasn't your fault. I was never cursing you for what happened, I am more than happy ki hum wapis mille aur hum ek nayi shurat kr skte hai..I love you so much Veeranshu..

V: I love you sweetheart, meri naageshwari, meri Bani...maine sirf tumse pyaar kiya hai..Satyug ki kahani yaad ane se pehle is jeevan me maine flirt kiya hai kuch ladkiyon se pr mujhe ishq sirf tumse hua hai...sirf tumse..

Bani smiled and hugged him tightly. Even the stars smiled as two souls met each other. Their reunion filled every one with glee.

Veer broke the hug. Holding her face, he claimed her lips. The two puzzle pieces fit right in and moved in synchronization. Each poured all the feeling inside the kiss. Veer and Bani were together again at last- they were Vani.
