Bani's POV

I was angrily moving towards the study where Veer was.

I opened the door.

"Veer... What the helll!!! "

I screamed and he turned with his sleeves tucked up, his veiny hands on display, a glass of wine in his hand and of course that devilish smirk on his handsome face.

"Welcome back sweetheart.. "

He said.

" I can't believe you have stopped so
low.. "

I said with anger.

" What did I do sweetheart.."

He asked sipping the drink innocently.

"I just got a call from Principal sir that you have still not sanctioned the International Exchange programs funds to the college and your PA is unreachable! What the actual hell? "

I asked.

"Sweetheart maybe I was busy, dhyan nahi diya.."

He said casually.

"What do you want in return? "

I asked.

"Abhi tum sahi point par aayi.. "

He said putting the glass on the table and hovering near me.

" Mujhe teen wishes chahiye.. "

He said with a smile.

"Aur main tumhe Alladin ka chirag lagti hoon, jo tumhari teen Khwaishei puri karu? "

I asked.

" Arey nahi sweetheart, tum toh meri rab se mangi sabse anmol khwaish ho.. Tum kaise chirag ban sakti ho.. "

He said teasing me.

" Tum aur tumhari bakwas batein.. "

I said and turned away.

" Bakwas nahi sweetheart ekdum kaam ki batein hein. Kitne bacchon ka bhavishya tika hein tumhare faisle pe.. "

He said.

" I HATE YOU! "

I screamed.

" I Love you too sweetheart."

He said and I just frowned.

"Tum bhul gayi sweetheart.. Tumhari zuban nahi aakhein pad pata hoon main.. "

He said with a smile.

"Kash main bhi tumhari aakhein padhna sikh jati.. Toh mujhe iss dard se nahi guzarna padta.."

I said and his eyes softened.

He turned.

"You choose sweetheart, the choice is yours "

He said.

" Fine! I am ready. What do you want? "

I asked.

" Abhi maine teeno wishes sochi nahi, ek kaam karte hein aaj na meri gharwali se mera bohot jhagda hua hein, toh kyun na tum mera sar daba do.. "

He said.

"Tum kaho toh gala bhi dabadu. "

I said with a fake smile.

" Uff.. Itni nasheeli aakhon se puchogi toh banda khud hi fanda pehen lega.. Sweetheart.. ".

He said turning around.

" Mere pass befizzol ka waqt nahi.. Just go sit on the couch.. "

I said.

" Oh Damn, sidha action mode haan.. "

He said winking.

I pushed him on the table and held his collar.

" Agar tumne ek aur shabb bola toh wakai tumhari jaan le lungi main.. Aur mujhe itna push mat karo ki Holi se pehele hi main gharwalon ko sara sach bata doon. "

I said and he held my hair and tugged it gently while my hand was still on his shirt's collar.

" You know I just got to know
something.. "

He said moving closer to me as I could feel his lips lingering near my neck and his breathe tickling the crook of it.

" Wh.. What.."

I asked looking into his eyes with the same fire.

" Gusse main aur bhi zyada hot lagti
ho.. "

He said and I left the hold on his collar but due to that I ended up falling on him too.

" Uff..meri baton se dar gayi...mere mohhabat ki aag main jal gayi ? "

He asked.

" Main koi tumhari baton se nahi dari.. "

I said gritting my teeth.

"Ohh toh tumhe meri bahon main aana tha ? "

He asked with a smirk.

"Mujhe tumhari bahon main bhi nahi aana tha.."

I said getting up.

"Dari nahi, bahon main bhi nahi aana, oh so this was just an accident. Ek hadsa.. Nahi? "

He asked.

"Haan.. "

I said turning my gaze.

"Pata hein Bani.. Ek aesa hadsa mere sath bhi hua tha kuch mahino pehele.. Mohhabat ka hadsa.. "

He said .

" Mujhe ye sab batein nahi sunni hein.. "

I said firmly. His words always made me weak.

" Chalo koi baat nahi abhi nahi toh humare date par sahi.. "

He said.

"Main koi date par nahi ja rahi hoon tumhare sath."

I said.

"Par meri wish toh pura karo gi na.. Toh yehi hein meri dusri wish.. "

He said.

"You said you will not force me "

I said.

"Haan toh main kaha force kar raha hoon. I gave you a choice baby and you chose it yourself. "

He said with that damn smirk again.

"You are impossible.. "

I said.

"And you are very cute.. "

He said pulling my cheeks.

" Tum na pagal hogaye ho.. Abb chup chap baitho main sar daba deti hoon.. "

I said and he sat on his chair.

I went to my room and got the oil.

I poured it on my hands and applied it in his hair.

I started moving my Fingers in his hair while massaging it and he closed his eyes.

" Waise sar dabane ke sath ye hair oiling free tha sweetheart? "

He asked.

"Ji nahi bas mujhe tumhare sath kam se kam time spent karna hein isiliye tel laga rahi hoon. Bachpan main jab bhi mera sar dard hota tha, maa aese hi champi karti thi aur dard kuch der main gayab ho jata tha. "

I said and a smiled formed on my face.

"Bas yunhi muskurate raho, mera aadha dard toh yunhi khatam hojaye.. "

He said and I stopped smiling.

He chuckled and again closed his eyes.
I continued massaging him as a strand of my hair kept falling on my face.

I tried removing it through my arm as my hands were oily. But it kept falling on my face again and again.

Few minutes passed and I looked at him sleeping.

Finally the devil slept. People say right, the devil is the most beautiful creature of this universe. I thought as I again looked at his sharp features so closely.

"Itni pyar se dekhogi , toh mohhabat ishq main badal jayegi gharwali.. "

He said opening his eyes as he tucked the hair strand falling on my face behind my ear.

"Main tumhe nahi dekh rahi thi.. "

I said and got up.

"Ruko.. "

He said .

"Abb kya teesri wish bhi abhi hi puri karni hein?"

I asked being irritated.

He moved towards me and came and stood in front of me.

" Tum chahho toh teesri khwaish bhi main mang sakta hoon.. "

He said.

"Par... "

I was about to say when he put his index finger on my lips.

" Five minutes ke liye statue ban jao.. "

He said.

"What? "

I asked.

" Statue.."

He said again and I paused.

" That's like a good girl.. "

He said pulling my cheeks again and I glared at him.

He chuckled and stood behind me.

I was confused what he wanted to do when he held my locks in his hand and started braiding them.

" Tumhe kabse pareshan kar rahe the.. "

He said whispering in my ear from behind.

I just stood still with my uneven breathe as he continued to do so and I could feel his breathe on my neck.

" Done..! "

He said.

Ab rubber band kahan se laoge?

I thought internally facepalming myself because as soon as he would leave the grip the braid will loosen.

But that's when he took a rubber band from his pocket and tied it.

I again looked at him being surprised.

"Tumhara hi hein, maine kayi baar dekha ki tum apni scrunchies bhul jati ho aur phir baal khule rehene ke kuch der baad tumhe garmi lagne lagti hein aur tab tumhe regret hota hein, ki shit main toh ghar par hi bhul gayi apni scrunchie. So isliye maine socha ek main hi apne pass handy main rakh lu. "

He said my lips parted a little . How did he notice that?

" Tumhare barein main , main choti si choti cheezein notice karta hoon sweetheart.. Zyada dimaag vyarth main mat lagao.. "

He said and closed my mouth.

"Chalo abb statue over.. "

He said moving closer to me and I turned to look at him as our noses brushed each other's. His eyes always showed me innocence, pain and love but now I really didn't know what was true and what was not.

Maybe I misinterpreted everything. The love of his life was chandani and I was the pain that he had to face due to his family.

I pushed him a little and was about to walk out when I phone rang.

I realized I had left in on the couch.

He went to get it for me but as soon as he saw the caller id his face dropped.

I went and tool the phone from him, it was Sid.

"Ye tumhe abhi call kyun kar raha hein? "

He asked.

It was 11:00 PM now.

" Mere dost mujhe kabhi bhi call kar sakte hein.."

I said.

" Of course kar sakte hein, par ye mujhe pasand nahi... "

He said.

"Seems like a you problem.."

I said with a fake smile and started walking away as he pulled me closer with a tight grip on my waist.

" You know how I feel when I hear that guys name.. "

He said a little angrily yet it will sultry.

"Main toh lungi uska naam, SID! SID!
SID! "

I said when he flipped position with me trapping me between the table and him again.

" Ve.. Veer... Ju.. Just leave me.. "

I said trying to come out of his hold.

" I feel like my veins are on fire sweetheart, I feel like my heart is palpitating with your name in its every beat, I feel like my breathes are getting uneven with a mere thought of him being the reason of that smile on your face while I make you cry, I feel like you are fucking mine to love, to cherish , to romance and the one who I will always be on my knees for.. "

He said huskily.

I feel like my heart skipped a beat. Why? Why do I know that he is a predator yet I keep falling into his trap like a prey.

"Sto... Stop lying.. "

I said stuttering being affected by our proximity.

" Lafz par bharosa nahi toh dhakane sunlo.. Aaj bhi bas tumhari ibadat karta hein. "

He said and placed my hand on his heart that was beating fast.

" Tumne hasil karna chahta aur tum pe kurbaan bhi hona chhahta hein.. "

He said placing his other hand on the nape of my neck.

"Bas bohot ho gaya.. "

I said and moved away controlling my fast breath.

He stayed silent for a moment and said.

" By the way sweetheart, Date ki location tumne abhi bhi nahi batayi.. "

He said.

" Accha main jahan bolungi.. Wahan le jaoge? "

I asked.

" Absolutely "

He said proudly.

" Mujhe date humare ghar main hi chahiye.. Abb tum arrange karo thik hein? "

I said feeling like that was the perfect solution.

" Sure sweetheart"

He replied without any doubt on his face.

" Whatever.. I am leaving.. "

I said and saw him going and settling on the chair with a book in his hand.

But wait a minute, that was the same series that I was reading, Shatter me series!!

"Why are you reading my book? "

I asked.

" I thought you were leaving.."

He said.

"Don't deflect my question.. "

I said.

"Well, I surely want to do better than your other boyfriends, so that's why "

He said.

" The millionaire Veeranshu Singhania has got time for reading novels.. Doesn't he have work? "

I asked sarcastically.

He held my hand and pulled me closer.

" Sweetheart I am really offended now. Firstly because I always have time , not just for novels, but for every thing that my wife loves and secondly I am freaking billionaire sweetheart.. "

He said and winked.

I just kept looking at him. What was he high now like seriously? He is acting so different.

" Hath chor diya sweetheart.. "

He said.

"What? "

I asked.

" Maine hath chor diya tumhara sweetheart par tum phir bhi wohi khari ho.. Kahi tumhare seene main jo mere liye nafrat ki aag hein, usne tumhare dil ko hi toh nahi pighla diya? "

He asked leaving me astounding for a moment.

" Mere kitabon ko meri izzazat ke bina hath mat lagana.. "

I said taking the book from his hand.

" But that's my copy sweetheart.. "

He said.

"Ughhhhh... Fine keep it.. Tum mujhe pagal kar do ge.. "

I said and left for my room.

Pagal kahinka! I hate him. I hate him!

"Do you? "

My heart asked.

"Shut up.. I can't handle you as well.. "

I said to my stupid heart and went to sleep.

~~~

Next Morning

As I got up, once again an empty bed welcomed me. I looked at the couch but he wasn't even there.

Did he not come in the room yesterday or did he get up early?

I kept my thought aside and went to take a bathe and change.

I soon came out and went to the dining table.

But on the way I heard Bela bhabhi's voice.

Bhabhi and Bhai were talking about some serious matter as Bhai looked really sad and Bhabhi too.

I didn't want to eavesdrop but my curiousity and concern got the best of me.

" Mahirji.. Sambhaliye khudko. Main hoon aapke sath.. "

Bhabhi said and hugged bhai.

"Bela I really miss her. She was a very beautiful person then why did God do this to her.. "

He said hugging back Bhabhi tightly.

" Mahirji.. Main jaanti hoon aapka dukh main khatam toh nahi kar sakti par baant zarur sakti hoon aur itna toh main zarur keh sakti hoon ki woh aaj bhi aapke sath hein. Unka pyar aur aashirvaad humesha hum sab par
hein.. "

She said patting Bhai's back.

" Janta hoon Bela.. Par kya karu kabhi kabhi unki yaad bohot aati hein aur yadein mujhe rulati hein.. "

He said.

"Yadon ko sochkar royi mat Mahirji balki muskuraiye.. Woh waqt bit zarur gaya hein par woh waqt phir bhi aapka
hein.. "

She said.

" I loved her Bela and I will always love her Bela. I will always love Maa."

He said.

Wait? Maa? What was Mahir bhai talking about? But Chandrakala maa is absolutely fine then who is Bhai talking about?

" I know Mahirji.. "

She said and kissed on his temples.

" Janti ho sona, kabhi kabhi lagta hein maa ne hi tum jaise farishte ko meri zindagi main bheja..mujhe pura karne liye..mere dardon ka malham bane ke liye..apne Mahir ki Bela banne ke liye.."

He said cupping her face.

"I love you Mahirji.. "

Bhabhi said.

"I love you more meri sona.. "

He said and they leaned forward to kiss as I lowered my gaze and walked away.
But I was really confused with the entire conversation.

What did Bhai mean?

I was walking down as Veeranshu was talking with Papa.

"Veer.. Uss bewakoof ki koi jagah nahi humare ghar main.. Choice uski thi.. "

Papa said and I instantly understood who they were talking about. Teer.

" Dad, I know usne galati ki hein lekin he was in love Dad.. "

Veer said.

"Pyar? Aur kya hua uska nateeja? That girl was a gold digger and I knew it since the moment he spoke about her. Par usne apne maa baap ke pyar ke bajaye uss ladki ko chuna.. "

Papa said.

"Papa.. "

I said intervening.

"Bani beta.. ".

Papa said.

" Papa sorry agar main koi boundary cross kar rahi hoon par main aapse bas itna kehna chhati hoon ki main janti hoon Teer se galati huyi hein lekin pyar main aksar log apne sochne samjhne ki shamta kho dete hein. Aapko usse daatne ka haq hein par aapko Teer ko ek baar pyar se samjhana chahiye the.. Aur usse ek jabardasti ki shadi main nahi dhakelna chahiye tha.. "

I said.

"Bani Tu uski side le rahi hein? Usne sabse galat tumhare sath kiya beta.. "

Papa said.

"Nahi Papa, Teer ne mere se sath galat nahi balki bohot galat hone se bachaya.. Agar woh ye shadi karta toh hum ek loveless marriage main hote. Rishta dikhawa ban jata. Aur jiss rishte main pyar aur bharosa nahi woh tamasha ban jata hein.. "

I said and Veer looked at me with unknown emotions in his eyes.

" So please Dad reconsider.. Galatiyan kahi na kahi hum sab se huyi hein.. Kuch log dusron ko samjh nahi pate aur kuch samjh kar bhi apne jazzbaton ko sahi tarike se baya nahi kar pate. "

I said.

" Yes Dad, mujhe aur Bani ko Teer se koi dikkat nahi. "

Veer said.

"Mujhe waqt chahiye thoda,main tum dono jitna dayalu nahi hoon.. "

Papa said and walked away.

I sighed.

"Woh samjh jayenge.. "

Veer said.

I just looked at him.

" Teer ghar wapis aa jaye toh mai aaram se iss ghar se ja paungi.. Sab kuch pehela jaisa karke."

I said.

"Pehela jaisa kuch nahi ho sakta sweetheart.. Na main, na tum.. Na ye rishta.. "

He said with sadness in his voice .

" Khana aa gaya.. "

Maa said and we came out of our trance.
I soon went to help Maa.

I forgave Maa because I understood why she was against my and Veer's marriage.

I think it because she knew about Chandani but misinterpreted her love for me.

She was right.

I know there were times when she went overboard but maybe that was her tough love.

I know she was wrong but maybe the motherly love that she was showering on me just like before was melting my heart.
Everybody had breakfast and we left for our workplaces.

~~~

Evening.

I was now returning from the college. We had stay back today to correct papers.

And then I went somewhere with Sid. I went to a place which would solve all the problems happening in my life.

And hence I was really late.

I am quite sure that everybody will be at house only so there is no chance of him organising any date for us.

And even the weather had suddenly become rainy, so terrace is no more an option.

I thought and smiled at my smartness.
I reached home but the sight that I saw I was not ready for it.

My smile vanished.

Veer and Chandani were talking something. She was basically scolding him.

Is he still abandoning her to maintain our relationship. How can he be so cruel.

And even if he did start liking me, how could he do that to someone he loved. How could he do that to the baby.
This was the truth, the bitter one but I had to accept it.

I turned my gaze and walked in.

The lights were off and I wondered what went wrong.

"Bhabhi, Maa! "

I said but nobody answered.

" Koi hein? "

I asked again and suddenly the staircase got lit with lights.

I walked till their and a floral path welcomed me.

It looked beautiful but my feelings were a mess. . There was also a note written there

FOLLOW ME ♡

I followed it and finally reached my room which had the fragrance of the rose petals and scented candles.

I also a gift box placed on the bed.

OPEN ME ;)

It said.

I opened it as I found a beautiful red saree in it.

"A Beautiful gift for my prettiest sweetheart ♡"

I took the saree in my hand and threw it on the bed as a chit fell from it.

"I know gusse main abhi tumhara face iss saree se bhi zyada lal hogaya hoga par please isse pehenkar hi aana..mujhe accha lagega"

It said.

Accha lagega!? Bhadh main jao.

I thought and flipped the note as something was written behind it too.

"Also remember : Bacchon ka future ;) "
It said.

Ugggggggh! This guy!

I held my head.

Kitna ziddi hein.

I took the saree in my hand and started wrapping it around.

After few minutes I was completely dressed with the saree hugging my body, the silver jhumkas and bangles , the black eye liner and the perfect shade of lipstick with a bindi.

I opened the first drawer of the dressing table to take the comb when I found another note there.

The note was placed on two boxes.

"Please inhe bhi pehen kar aana... "

It read and I opened the boxes and instantly recognised the items inside it.

It was the pendant and Badi maa's payal that he had given me.

I combed my hair and put on the pendant and anklets too.

"One last time and this game ends. "

I thought to myself and walked out as I found another floral path guiding me.

I followed it as it took me to the garden outside our mansion.

The lights were off when suddenly I saw a matchstick being lit. I could see his face through the illuminating fire as he lit a candle and the lights were on.

My orbs looked around to capture the view in front of me.

Flowers, shimmery lights, candles and him standing in front of me with his handsome face and a teasing smile.

I just kept looking at the view in front of me.

"Lal rang main behad khubsurat lag rahi ho sweetheart.. "

He said bringing me out of my trance.

" Tumhe lagta hein ye materialistic cheezein, ye phool, candles and setup se tum mera jeet loge..? Then you are highly mistaken Mr Singhania.. "

I said.

" Who said I had to win your heart..? "

He said moving towards me.

" Isn't it already mine? "

He asked and took the kajal from my eyes and put it behind my ears.

"Lal rang ki saree aur Badi maa ki payal..you look perfect gharwali..Kahi tumhe meri hi nazar na lag jaye.."

He said and I thought like I lost my breathe for a moment.

" Bakwas band karo apni.. "

I said.

" Hayeee.. Bas ye jo tum dant ti ho na.. Tumse ishq aur hojata hein.. "

He said laughing and moved towards the two chairs placed forward.

"Tum kuch bhi kaho aur karlo tumhara jadoo mujhpar nahi chalne wala hein"

I said and he chuckled .

"Tumhe hasi aa rahi hein? Mujhe majboor karke."

I said angrily when suddenly few bubbles surrounded me.

I looked at Veer and saw him shooting bubbles and laughing.

" Look at this sweetheart.. Papa told me it's someone's favourite.. "

He said moving around me and the bubbles surrounded us.

It was one of my cherished memories with Mom.

I smiled a little. But then again the pain hit me. The pain of losing my mother and the pain of losing the love of my life.
Why do my loved ones always leave me?
Tears formed in my eyes.

"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT.. "

I shouted.

"Hey hey sweetheart.. Tum thik ho.. I am so sorry.. "

He asked cupping my face while I closes my pains trying to compose myself.

"Kuch kaho sweetheart, aese chup mat raho. Daant hi do par kuch toh bolo. I am sorry agar maine galat kiya main bas tumhe khush karna chahta tha.. "

He said rubbing his hand on my arm.

" I.. I.. Do.. Don't.. Wa.. Want to lose my lo.. Loved ones... "

I said stuttering.

The memory of the news of my Mom's death as I brought this bubble machine from the fest of my school.

And the memory of Veer and Chandani was affecting me badly.

"Sweetheart.. "

He said embracing me.

" You will not lose your loved ones. You will never be alone .Main humesha tumhare sath rahunga, tumhare pass rahunga. Tumhara banke rahunga gharwali.. Shant ho jao. Wada karta hu tumse saya bhi andhere main sath chor deta hein lekin ye Veeranshu singhania tumhara sath kabhi nahi chorega. Chahe tum jannat le jao ya jahanum dikhao, tumhare aanchal ki door se juda paungi mujhe.. "

He said patting on my back as tears fell from my eyes.

"Janti ho sweetheart, tumhe dard main dekhke main kitni mautein marta hoon. Aur khaskar ye jankar ki ye aasun meri wajah se nikal rahe , main andar hi andar tadapta hoon. Main aksar sochta tha ki main bohot unlucky hoon aur kisi ke pyar ke kabil nahi par tumhare aane se maine tumse mohhabat karna toh sikh hi liya saath hi saath khudko pyar karna bhi sikha. Aur jo mohhabat hume khud se pyar karna sikhade usse khas aur kuch nahi ho sakta hei.. "

He said and I held his hand cupping my face as our engagement rings clicked together.

" Mere zindagi ka sabse haseen hadsa ho tum. Mera favorite colour humesha se black , bilkul ek saye ki tarah lekin jabse maine tumhe uss white kurti main dekha, tumhari woh peheli tasveer, mujhe safed rang se pyar hogaya. Mere ishq ka rang safed ho gaya. Paak
hogaya. ".

He said and I lightly pulled out of the hug.

" Aur jab maine tumhe dulhan ki libaaz main uss light blue rang ki saree main dekha toh mujhe jaise insaan jo kabka apni khwaahishon ke liye udna bhul gaya tha,jisne pinjare main rehena sikh liya tha usse aasman se pyar hogaya.. "

He said wiping my tears.

" Aur jab uss din maine tumhe lal rang main dekha toh mera ishq ibadat ban gaya.. "

He said rubbing our cheeks together and I leaned on his touch.

"I love you sweetheart.. I really do! "

He said and suddenly it hit me.

What the hell was I doing?

How could I melt for a cheater like him.
I immediately moved apart and his eyes saddened.

" Let's just get done with it..waise bhi kabhi bhi barish ho sakti hein "

I said and he looked at me for a moment and nodded.

" Barish toh nahi hogi aaj sweetheart..because today id it thunders then that will be due to our proximity and if it rains then that will be through my eyes.. "

He said and went to get the glasses while I kept looking at him. He poured drink in it and came near me.

" I don't know if you remember par mujhe ek ghunt main hi chad jati hein.. "

I said.

"I remember very well sweetheart.. Isiliye ye wine nahi balki apple juice hein.. ".

He said with a smile and handed me the drink.

" Chalo.. Chalo.. Abb baithe jao.. Na
jane kabse khadi.. "

He said pulling the chair and making me sit.

I sat and he moved his drink forward to do cheers.

I complied and did the same while he kept looking at me with a smile.

" Itna muskura kyun rahe ho? Yahan koi magic show chal raha hein. ".

I asked.

" I am smiling because you are magic sweetheart. Pure magic.. "

He said with dreamy eyes and I rolled my eyes.

He smiled even more.

"Waise jaddo ki baat ho hi gayi hein, toh kyun na hum ek picture le..let's make a heart.. "

He said forwarding his hand, acting like me.

I rolled my eyes and put a middle finger instead.

He laughed and clicked the picture.

"Ek aur cheez toh main batana hi bhul gaya.. Maine woh book complete kardi.. "

He said.

"Bohot badhiya.. Bade kamal ke ho tum.."

I said fake smiling.

"Abb main kuch itna bhi khas nahi.. "

He said rubbing his head like Shinchan.

Hey bhagwan ye purush.

"By the way sab hein kahan? "

I asked changing the topic.

" Sab Bela bhabhi ke ghar gaye hein. Bhabhi ke Dad bohot din se sabko bula rahe the toh woh sab chale gaye.. "

He said.

"And it's a coincidence ki woh aaj hi gaye nahi? "

I asked sarcastically.

"I might have asked Bhabhi to help me."

He said with a smile.

" Tum jisse chaho usse paa sakte ho, nahi? "

I asked.

" Bejaan cheezo ko paa sakti hoon Gharwali par his cheez main jaan ho usse hasil nahi kamana padta hein. Dar se logon ko khareeda ja sakta hein par unke dil ko jita nahi ja sakta hein. "

He said and I kept listening to hik intently.

" Accha ye sab bate in choro.. Ye batao decorations kaise lage? ".

He asked.

" Acche hein par jab rishte tut jaye toh bada makaan bhi khandar lagta hein aur agar na tute ho toh sukhi roti bhi bhati hein.. "

I said.

" Main janti hoon tumhare pass bohot sawal hein Bani par please ek baar mera bharosa karo.. Meri majboori hein.. "

He said.

" Batein karne ka waqt bit gaya Veer.. Abb fasle ki ghadi hein.. "

I said.

" Wh.. What do you mean? "

He asked being unsure.

" Tumhare teen khwahishen puri huyi.. Abb meri bas ek khwaish puri kardo.. "

I said getting up and taking out something from my bag.

" Tum jo mangogi main tumhe woh dunga sweetheart "

He said.

" Then sign these papers. Maine sign already kar diya hein.. "

I said handing it over to them.

"Di.. Divor.. Divorce pa.. Papers.. "

He said stuttering as I could see his hands shaking.

"Abb ye khel aur rishta khatam Veer.. "

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

"Itni nafrat karti ho mujhse. "

He asked looking at me.

" Tumse nahi Veer jhuth se.. Aur humara rishta jhutha hein.. "

I said .

"AUR HUMARI FEELINGS KA KYA? "

He asked holding my shoulder and pulling me closer, anger and pain evident in his eyes

" Feelings? Really feelings? Agar tumhari feelings sachi hoti toh tum mujhse itne raaz nahi chupate. Tum sirf aur sirf ek jhuthe aur dhokebaaz ho.. "

I said with the same emotions in my eyes.

" Accha.. Main itna bura hoon? Toh phir mere pass aane se tumhari dhadkane kyun badh jati hein.. "

He said moving his face closer to mine.
"Mere chune se tumhari sansein kyun tham jati hein..? "

He asked.

" Tu.. Tu.. Tum mera faisla nahi badal sakte Veer... Choro mera hath.. "

I said stuttering.

" Ye sab tumne uske sath milkar kiya na.. Did he Brainwash you into taking this decision... That Sid .. Uski ke sath aaj bahar gayi thi na.. "

He said angrily.

"How do you know where I went? "

I asked and he didn't answer.

" You have people following me? "

I asked angrily.

"How dare you Veer? Kya lagta hein tumhe main dhoka dete phirti hoon? "

I asked.

" Shut up! Just shut up! I don't doubt you.. "

He said holding the nape of my neck with his right hand.

" Agar bharosa nahi karta toh pehela sawal hota ki tum uske ghar kyun gayi par maine woh sawal nahi kiya, tumhe nahi roka kyunki I trust you. But I don't trust him and jahan tak baad guards ki rahi they are for your protection from my rivals.."

He said.

" You have deceived me enough Veeranshu Singhania , now I don't want to listen anything. Sid ne mujhe kuch nahi kaha, faisla mera hein. Also Sid is not like you who cheats woman "

I said.

"Wh.. What? "

He asked

"Kyun tumhe kya laga tha?Mujhe sach kabhi pata nahi chalega.? Tumhara aur tumhare pyar ka sach? "

I said.

" I don't know what you are talking about"

He said

"Of course you are so innocent after all.. "

I said.

"Bani saaf saaf batao.. "

He asked.

" Mujhe tumhare aur Chandani ke pyar ke barein main pata chal gaya.. "

I said and he frowned.

"What the hell are you speaking about? "

He asked.

" What the hell I am speaking about? Well I am speaking the truth Veeranshu Singhania. Tum humesha se uss ladki se pyar karte the par apni family ki reputation ke kiye tumne mujhse shadi ki aur shayad isliye Teer bankar mujhse baat karne ka natak kiya. "

I screamed.

"Maine sirf aur sirf ek ladki se ishq kiya hein. Meri patni se. "

He said.

" Ishq patni se aur apne bache ki maa koi aur. Gazab ka ishq hein tumhara. Mere aur Chandani dono ke sath rang raleeya manna chahte ho? "

I said.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW BANI! Just fucking shut up "

He screamed and I shivered.

"Itna ghatiya sochti ho tum mere barein main, I didn't know that. Mujhe laga tum naraz ho mujhse par tum toh mujhse sach much nafrat karti ho. Aaj tumhare ilzaam ne humare rishte ka katal kar diya Bani.. "

He said and tears formed in my eyes.

" Accha? Main galat hoon? Toh phir uss din Switzerland main Chandani se tumne kyun kaha ki tum wahan uske liye aaye the? Whose child is in her womb? What we're you doing when she was hating on me? Why did you say that you love her?In fact what we're you talking to her about just few minutes ago. "

I said gritting my teeth.

" You know what Bani, I really feel like you don't deserve an explanation. Tumhe jo sochna hein socho. Jo kehena hein kaho. Mere kuch bhi kehene se tumhe waise bhi kahan farak padega. Isiliye hate me all you want. Tumhe main aaj iss rishte se aazad karta hoon. "

He said and took out his pen from his pocket as he signed the papers.

I felt like my heart was breaking. He doesn't even think that I am worth an explanation.

He saw tears falling from eyes and was about to forward his hand to wipe them but he soon retraced it back.

" Aaj purana Veer hota na Bani toh tumhare samna gid gidata.. Ki tum usse chor kar mat jao par ye naya Veer hein. Woh Veer jisko tumne banaya hein, jisko tumne apni self respect ke liye bhi ladna sikhaya hein. Isiliye main tumse abb koi minate nahi karunga.. You are free Bani Sharma..You are free.."

He said as tears fell from his eyes and he left hurriedly.

I sat on the chair feeling completely broken and lost.

Everything was over.

I had lost in the game of hearts

"Bani.. "

Suddenly I heard a feminine voice.

"Chandani.. "

Her name rolled out of my mouth.

"You didn't do right Bani.. "

She said.

" I know I shouldn't have married him but I didn't know about you two.I will never let your child live his life without his or her father. "

I said.

"What are you taking about Bani? Veer is just like Aakesh Bhai for me "

She said and I looked at her being shocked.

"What? "

I asked getting up.

"Yes Bani. Veeru aur main bhai behen jaise hein.."

She said.

"But Mayuri told me you were going to be engaged.. "

I said.

"Mayuri that witch! Tum uske baton main aa gayi. Usse na toh apna ghar basta hein aur na dusro ka woh basne deti hein. Yes, our parents were talking about our marriage kyunki hum bachpan ke dost hein par Veeru aur maine turant mana kar diya uss rishte ke liye. "

She said.

" But then in Switzerland I heard you two talking.."

I asked.

" I am really sorry Bani, you saw me acting so crazy and immature that day. I was really worried and I blabbered all shitty things. Veer Switzerland meri madad karne aaya tha par woh tumhe pareshan nahi karna chahta tha. Woh tumhe ye sab baad main batane hi wala tha Bani.. "

She said and guilt started filling in my heart.

" The father of this child Is Jay Mathur "

She said.

"Wait! What? Jay? Isn't he.. "

I said.

" Your brother in law Tapish's maternal cousin.. "

She said.

" When Veer got to know about this he spoke to Tapish ji immediately. Your sister is pregnant and you were going to the honeymoon, so Tapish ji said that it's better they tell you and Meera ji everything after they solve this problem That's why Veer didn't you tell you all this instantly. "

She said and I felt a sharp pain in my heart.

I really hurt him with my accusations.

"Th.. Then what happened with Jay? As far as I know Jay is'nt married yet but you said the father of the child is married. I am sorry for asking these personal questions but I am really confused. "

I said.

"It's alright Bani. Veeru is my family and you are the love of his life, so you are family too for me. When Jay started dating me, he already had a fiancee but I didn't know about this. And when I got pregnant and confronted him he said I was just a timepass and his fiancee's family is more richer than mine's. I was completely shattered and broken and I begged Veeru to come to Switzerland. He calmed me down with his brotherly love and finally everything got sorted.
Tapish ji and Veeru exposed Jay and saved the bride from marrying that cheap person. "

She said .

He didn't cheat me.

He didn't.

And I..

I..

Fucked up. Big time.

I almost stumbled as Chandani held me.

"Bani sambhalo khudko.. "

She said holding me.

" I.. I really hurt him Chandani.. I really did.. "

I said as tears fell from my eyes.

"I told him such harsh words. He didn't deserve that.. "

I said.

"Bani misunderstanding thi , abb dur hogayi, I know Veeru is hurt but you can win him back.. "

She said.

"Main kya karu Chandani Usne mujhse kuch raaz chupaye hein. Aur jab raaz chupaye jate hein toh shak ka beej man main bo jata hein. Ussi beej ne mujhe majboor kar diya ye sab sochne ke liye. Main bas sach janna chahti thi Chandani.. "

I said being vulnerable.

" Bani sach puchna aur ilzaam lagane main difference hota hein."

She said and I instantly knew what she meant.

I didn't even confront him once about the Chandani matter and directly accused him of something so heinous.

"You are right chadani and Thank you so much for telling me the truth.. ".

I said.

She smiled.

" Abb sambhalo khudko aur lado apne rishte ke liye.. Woh 2.0 ban gaya hein toh tum bhi ban jao.. "

She said winking and I smiled a little.
I know I messed up big time but I will now clear all the misunderstandings Between us.

Veer ka dil bhi jitungi aur Sach bhi khud pata lagaunga.

Tum mujhe sach bata nahi sakte Veer par main khud toh pata laga sakti hoon.

" Uski maafi, dil aur sach sab jeetungi main.. "

I thought.
