Bani's POV

Numb!

The one word that would explain my state. I didn't know what to do. What to say. What to understand. Where to go. What to feel. But I just realised that maybe when God of Death comes to take souls, I think he finds many bodies that would have stopped breathing at that moment but their souls were dead long back. Because at this moment I was feeling like a lifeless body.

Every moment was fake. His promises were fake. His love was fake. His care was fake. Our whole relationship was fake. He was just like his brother, a cheater. Love was a fucking joke and now I was done being a joker.

Atleast his brother, didn't commit to me but he was even worse.

Why did he led me on, if he loved someone else?

Dur jana tha toh itne pass aaye kyun?

Pyar nahi tha toh dikhawa kyun?

Mere jazzbaton ke sath khela kyun?

Aur mujhe usse bepanah mohhabat huyi kyun?

I thought and finally a tear fell from my eyes. And all the emotions hit me suddenly.

I loved him so much that my chest was physically hurting with all the pain. It felt like someone ripped my heart apart from my body. Like someone killed a part of me today.

And I knew that after this moment love had no space in my life.

Maybe I was always going to be unloved because I fell for those eyes that never looked at me. I fell for that heart that never bet for me. I fell for that person who just pitied me.

Shayad nafrat karta toh jeena aasan ho jata par woh toh mujhpar taras khata raha aur maine taras ko pyar samjh liya.
Uski jhuti baton ko apne zindagi ka sach man liya.

Since childhood I always dreamt of my own love story. I just didn't know that my story would end even before it started.
I didn't realize that the fire of love in which I wanted to burn would end up turning me into ashes.

I would have never thought even in my wildest dreams that this fresh start would kill our relationship. That it would take away my belief from love.

My hands were shivering as I was lying on the hotel room's floor with tears pooled in my eyes.

That's when I heard the door opening. I didn't look into the direction but I instantly knew who it was.

"Sweetheart... Sweetheart... Wh.. What happened ? Tum yahan kyun aayi? Tumhe pata hein main kitna dar gaya tha. Pagalon ke tarah dhundh raha tha main tumhe.. Aur.. Ye... Ye.. Aasun... "

He made me face himself as he wiped my tears with his thumb but today my tears were not under anyone's control.I was not able to utter a single word.

"Tum yahan aese kyun baithi ho.. Kisine kuch kaha tumse? Chot pohouchayi? Mujhe bas naam batao uska, main usko chorunga nahi . "

He said with a panicking voice.
A cry left my mouth as I kept looking at him and the tears rolled down my cheeks.

My Veer. How could he do that to me? I really wanted someone to wake me up from this nightmare.

"I... I... "

I said as I felt I couldn't breathe. My whole body was shaking.

"Bani... Please mujhe batao.. I am dying from within seeing you like this.. "

He said.

" Th.. This.. Can't.. Shouldn't.. "

I said trying to form words.

" Sweetheart.. Bani... Gharwali look at me.. Calm down..breathe...main hooon yahan.. "

He said hugging me and patting on my head.

" I.. Ca.. Can't.. Bre.. Breathe.. "

I said stuttering and felt his eyes glistening with unshed tear and fear.

"Baby.. Bani.. Remember what you told me... Jab bachpan main tumhe kabhi panick attack aata tha toh maa kya kehti thi.. "

He said still patting on my back in a heavy voice.

I remember Maa always used to tell me to close my eyes and she would sing a song to calm me down.

The main reason for me calming down was that she intentionally sang the wrong lyrics to make me laugh.

I closed my eyes remembering my maa.
When I heard his voice.

"Jab koi baat bigad jaye
Jab koyi mushkil fail jaye
Tum dena sath mera woh
Gum nawa.. "

He sang the wrong lyrics as a little smile formed at the corner of my lips remembering my childhood moments and I started concentrating on my breathing.

Calm down Bani.

"Tum dena sath mera woh gum nava. "

He said again and my heart got filled with warm feelings. I pulled out of the hug hoping to confront him about what I heard today, giving him one last chance, when something suddenly struck me and I felt like all my hopes died again.

"Are you okay now ? "

He asked with hopeful eyes but my hope was long dead.

"How do you know about the panick attacks that I had during my childhood? "

I asked a simple question and the colour from his face faded away.

" Answer me.. "

I said looking at him. He lowered his gaze panicking.

" I SAID ANSWER ME VEERANSHU SINGHANIA "

I shouted and he just looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Apart from my family and close friends, only one person knew about this ... And that was Teeranshu.. Then how do you know what I told him ??"

I asked and he still remained quite.

"Tumhari chupi nahi mujhe jawab chahiye... How do you know? Did he share it with you or ..? "

I asked still hoping him to deny everything.

"I love you sweetheart.. "

He said as a tear fell from his eyes. I could see guilt in his eyes.I could see the fear in his eyes.

" So it was you.. "

I said slowly as a lone tear fell from my eyes as well.

" Gharwali.."

He said with wet eyes and tried holding me.

" DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME! "

I said and I could see pain in his eyes. The pain in his voice and eyes we're hurting me.

Don't fall for his trickeries again Bani!

My mind said.

" Gharwali.. Please... "

He said.

"Why did you two do this to me? The proposal was for Teer then why did you text me first? And if you spoke to me then why was I getting married to Teer? Why this whole replacing drama? What the hell is going on???? "

I asked .My eyes we're red with anger and tears.

" Gharwali Teer ke bhagne ke barein main humein koi idea nahi tha.. "

He said trying to explain himself.

"Aur iss barein main bhi nahi pata tha ki tum apne bhai ke honewali biwi se baat kare ho? "

I asked and again the only answer I heard was silence.

" Jawaab do Veer warna humare bich na toh koi sawal bachega, na koi jawab aur na hi koi rishta.. "

I said.

" Sweetheart.. Please... Please... Don't leave me..I can't live without you.. "

He said and instantly my mind travelled to Chandani.

" Apne jhuthe batein, wadein aur kasme apne pass rakho Veer.. Abb mujhe ye pighla nahi payenge.. "

I said.

" Bani.. Humare bich bohot se raaz ho sakte hein, jhuth ho sakte hein par ye sach kabhi nahi badlenga.. Ki Veeranshu Singhania ne sirf aur sirf tumse mohhabat ki hein.. "

He said kneeling in front of me.

" JHUTH! JHUTH! JHUTH! Abhi jhuth bol rahe ho? Sharam nahi aayi tumhe mere jazbaaton ke sath khelne main.. "

I said as tears fell from both our eyes.

" Has rahe hoge na tum shadi wale din? Dekho bewakoof ladki mere liye hi ro rahi hein. Kya fasaya tumne mujhe Veeranshu Singhania. Do baar mohhabat hogayi tumse aur dono baar tumne mere dil aur bharose ka katal kar diya.. "

I shouted.

" I didn't me.. Mean.. To.. "

He said holding my hands.

" But you did Veer. You have broken me and my trust. Arey tumse behtar toh Teer hein kam se kam apne pyar ke liye ladne ki himmat toh thi usmein. Main usse humesha kosti rahi kyunki mujhe laga usne text par itna pyar kyun dikhaya.. Kyun jataya jab woh kisi aur se pyar karta tha.. Lekin mujhse baat karne wala woh toh kabhi tha hi nahi.. Woh tum the..

WOH DHOKEBAZZ TUM THE! "

I said removing my hands from his hold.

" B.. Ban.. Bani.. Meri majboori thi.. "

He said while crying.

" Toh batao mujhe Veer.. Yahin khadi hoon.. Sunne ko betaab hoon tumhari batein aur tumhari kahaniya.. "

I said with venom dripping in my voice.
I wanted to hurt him, the way he hurt him.

I wanted to make him feel what I was feeling.

" Ba.. Bani.. I.. Can't.. "

He said.

"Hahha.. "

I laughed loudly and he looked at me with confusion.

" Ek baat puchu? Ye sab pyar ki batein karne ka mehnat kyun uthaya tumne? Mere sath bistar par jane ke liye? "

I said gritting my teeth.

"BANI... "

He said in a loud voice and pulled me closer to his face.

"Mujhe gali deni hein de do. Marna hein marlo par meri mohhabat ko gali mat do. Meri mohhabat paak hein.. "

He said with firmness and pain in his voice.

" Paak mohhabat? Konsi mohhabat woh jo tum apne bhai ko daan main dene ja rahe the? Ya woh mohhabat jo tumne apni parivaar ki izzat bachaane ke liye ki? "

I asked and his hold on my hand lightened.

" Phir se chup hogaye.."

I said softly.

" Khel kya tha tum dono bhai ka? Loving other people and making me your both's mistress.. "

I said holding his collar as he suddenly held the glass vase on the table and threw it on the ground.

"JUST SHUT UP MRS SINGHANIA "

He said angrily pining me between the bed post and him.

"Bani Sharma singhania nahi sirf Bani Sharma. Samjhe tum? Ye naam mujhe nahi chahiye."

I said.

"Par ye naam hi abb humari sachai hein.. Gharwali ho tum meri.. Pati hoon main tumhara.. "

He said holding my shoulder and pulling me closer.

" Pyar ka dawa kisi aur ke sath. Parivaar kisi aur ke sath basa rahe ho aur haq mujhpar jata rahe ho? "

I asked.

"Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha hein Bani. Tum ye.. "

He said still denying.

" Mujhe bas ek aakhiri bar tumse ek sawal karna hein.. "

I asked interrupting him.

" Pucho Gharwali.. "

He asked cupping my face.

" Why did you do all this ? Agar patni mante ho toh tum majboori batao. Apne sare raaz batao. Ye sari galatfahamiyon ko mitayo. Iss khamoshiyon ko todo.. Aur phir mujhe gale se lagalo.. "

I said as my voice broke in the end.
He looked confused and took a deep breathe.

" Main nahi bata sakta sweetheart.. "

He said and I knew something irreplaceable broke within me.

"Par... Baki sab sach tha sweetheart.. Tumhare siwa maine kabhi kisi aur ke taraf nahi dekha... Tum meri jaan ho Sweetheart.. Mere jeene ka maqsad.. "

He continued speaking but I couldn't hear him anymore.

There was nothing left for me to ask.
He still couldn't trust me. And he did deceive me. Not once but twice.
I pleaded thousands of time to him to share his problems but he didn't.

Shadi! Chandani! Bacha! Najane kya kya chupaya gaya hein mujhse.

" .. Tum sun rahi ho na gharwali.. Tumhare bina veerana ho jaunga main.. Ghar bhi makan lagne lagega.. "

He said

"Maa sahi kehti thi.. "

I said with a blank face.

" Wha.. What? "

He asked with concern.

" Tum ek grahan hi ho.. "

I said and he stumbled and held the bedpost to prevent himself from falling.

"Yo... You..do...don't ..me..mean it.. "

He said with shivering voice.

"No Veer.. I mean it.. I really do. Tumne mujhse meri zindagi ki roshni chinli. Mera mohhabat par se vishwas tod diya. Mere zindagi main vishwasghaat ka kalapan jod diya. Tumne mujhe iss dil ki baziyon main aesa haraya na Veer ki abb khelna toh dur ki baat hein shayad main uth bhi na pau iss har se kabhi main "

I said and I felt the light in his eyes extinguishing.

" You love me.. "

He said almost in a whisper looking lifeless.

" No I don't.. I don't love you.. Not anymore.. Your lies murdered my love.."

I said as my treacherous tears kept falling.

I didn't want to become weak . I didn't want him to see my vulnerable side.

Us parting ways was the best decision. I can't take away a child from it's father. I can't part two lovers.

Enough of these games. Now this has to end.

" I want a Divorce ! "

I said and he again looked at me.

"What did you say? "

He asked.

" I was quite clear.. "

I said and turned to the other side, not wanting to face him.

" Aakhein chura kar nahi, aakhein mila kar kaho Bani.. Main ek baar phir se sunna chahta hoon.. "

He said and made me look at him.

It was overwhelming me. I wanted my heart to turn into a stone but it was still like a wax melting with the warmth of his words.

" Kya hua? Dil zuban ka sath nahi de raha hein? "

He asked.

"Tumhare dil ne zuban ka sath diya tha jab tumne mujhse itne jhuth bole? "

I asked.

"Sawal ka jawab jab log sawal se dete hein, uska matlab ye hota hein ki unke pass koi jawab nahi.. "

He said.

" Aur maine bhi kaha tha Veer ki aaj agar tum chup hogaye toh sawal aur jawab dono khatam ho jayege humare darmiyan "

I said.

" Sweetheart... Mujhse galatiyan huyi hein par please mujhe ek mauka de do.. "

He asked his voice now softening.

"Mauka diya tha Veer. Tumne gawaah diya mauke ko bhi aur mujhe bhi.. "

I said with my voice shaking and he closed his eyes trying to control his tears.

" Tum uss sach ke alawa jo mangogi.. Main tumhe woh dunga.. "

He asked.

"Toh mujhe jane do. Kyunki jahan bharosa nahi wahan rishta nahi.. "

I said.

'Tum jaan mang leti woh bhi de deta par tumhe jane du ye mujhse jeete jee nahi ho payega.. "

He said.

"It's not your call to make, it's mine. And I don't want to be with you.. "

I said.

"No it's not just your call ,it's our call to make..Iss rishte main hum dono ka barabar ka haq hein.."

He said.

"Now it's just you and me Veer.. There is no US anymore"

I said and started walking outside.

" Sweetheart.. Please.."

He said with teary eyes wrapping his arms around me and joining our heads together.

" Choro mujhe.. "

I said closing my eyes as tears fell from them.

"Nahi.. "

He said as a sob left his mouth.

" MAINE KAHA CHORO MUJHE VEER"

I said and pulled away, not realising that my mangalsutra broke and the beads got scattered on the grounds.

" Mera mangalsutra.. "

I bend to pick it up as he suddenly said.

"Jis rishte se tum aazadi chahti ho, uski nishani ko kyun sambhal rahi ho.. "

He asked blankly.

" Dushman ki maut par bhi kuch pal ka gham manaya jata hein, toh ye toh meri mohhabat ka janaza hein taqleef toh hogi.. "

I said as I saw him wiping his tears.

" Tum humari mohhabat ka janaza utha lo Bani par mere liye toh meri mohhabat amar hein.. Woh kabhi khatam nahi hogi.. Main bhi khatam ho jau toh tabhi meri rooh bhi bas tum se mohhabat karegi.. Tum apne suhag ki nishaniyon ko tod lo par mere hatho par humesha mere suhaag ki nishani rahegi.. "

He said and kissed on the engagement ring on his hand.

" Mohhabat kafi nahi hoti hein Veer. Vishwas sabse zaruri hota hein. Ho sakta hein sach chupane ki wajah ho.. Par ye sach meri zindagi se jura hein aur mera pura haq banta hein isse jan ne ka.. Isiliye iss jhuthe rishte main bandh kar main nahi reh sakti.. "

I said and again started walking out of the room.

"Tumhe iss kamre se jane ki zarurat nahi.. Main chala jaunga.. "

He said.

"I will manage.. "

I said.

" Please iss par behas mat karo.. "

He said and I just nodded.

He looked at me for few more seconds and moved out of the room.

The door closed and I fell on the ground crying.

Why did all this happen?

Why?

He cheated me yet saying hurtful words to him was inflicting pain in my heart.

His tears were like acid pouring upon my heart while his constant denial to tell me the truth was breaking my own heart.

And just like that our trust was broken, we were broken and so was our relationship.
