2 months later.

Veer's POV

The dark clouds formed in the sky as the wind whispered through the tiny branches of trees. The weather was gloomy and so was the feeling in my chest.

My eyes wandered to the angel standing in front of me.

My wife. My life. My sweetheart.

But why was she taking steps away from me?

" Gharwali kahan ja rahi ho? "

I asked.

She just gave a melancholic smile and kept walking. I just realized that we were on a cliff while she moved towards it's edge.

" Sweetheart ruko.. "

I said and she finally halted.

"It's time to say goodbye Veer.. "

She said and tears formed in my eyes
.
"No Gharwali... Stop..You can't leave
me.. "

I said moving towards her when she moved back and fell from the cliff.

"BANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

I screamed and my eyes got opened.

~~~

Bani's POV

He screamed and I immediately got up.

He was constantly getting nightmares since few days.

Two months had passed since Maa was admitted in the hospital.

Two months had passed since Papa left the house and started living in an aashram while he regularly took care of Maa.

Two months since a husband and a brother was happy but a son was still wounded.

" Veer.. Bacha.. Main hoon yahan.. "

I said taking him in my arms as I caressed his hair.

" Woh.. Wahan.. Pahad se.. Gir gayi... Woh.. Bani.. "

He said mumbling.

"Bacha main yahin hoon tumhare pass.. Bilkul thik.. Sahi salamat.. Calm down.. "

I said kissing on his head as his fastened breathe started calming down.

" Bani.. Woh sapna.. "

He said looking at me with his wet eyes.

" It's okay Baby, it was just a nightmare.. "

I said kissing on his forehead.

He cupped my face and kissed on my head.

" I can't live without you.. "

He said nuzzling his nose at the crook of my neck.

" I will not even let you live
without me.. "

I said and he chuckled.

" Good.. "

He said and I smiled.

" Kya dekha sapne main? "

I asked.

" I saw.. I saw you falling from a cliff.. "

He said in a sad tone.

" Kuch hua hein kya Veer? Koi baat jo man main atak gayi ho.. "

I asked rubbing my thumb on his cheek.

" Maa kuch din pehele Badi maa ki.. Badi maa ki death ke barein main baat karne lagi.. Woh ro rokar keh rahi thi ki Didi ko kitna dard hua hoga.. Tum toh janti ho Bani.. Maa ki halat.. Unhe jab jo saal, jo halat yaad aata hein woh uske barein main bat karne lagti hein. Doctors ne kaha ki the good thing is that she is venting out her pain. Aur shayad issi se unhe aaram mile, unka dard thoda kaam hojaye.. Par ussi din se Maa ki baat shayad man main ghumne lagi.. "

He said.

" Samajh sakti hoon Veer... Aasan nahi hein.. Waqt lagega.. Par main humesha tumhare sath rahungi, tumhare pass rahungi. Haseen sapno main tumhare sath rahungi aur darawne sapno main tumhari haqeeqat ban tumhara dard dur karungi. Main tumhare saye se bhi zyada tumhara sath nibhaungi. Apne ghar wale ka sath nibhaungi.. "

I said and kissed on his temples.

" Shaayad Rab ne mujhe mere sare ghamon ka sila de diya.. Isiliye tumhari nazron ne mujhe pyar ke kabil samjh liya.. "

He said with a smile.

" Tum ye puri duniya deserve karte ho Veer. Sari khubsurat yadein, khushiyaan aur mohhabat deserve karte ho. Mere liye tum perfect ho aur humesha rahoge.. Uss chand main bhi daag hote hein par tumhari rooh bedag hein Veer.. Mere liye tum sabse zyada anmol ho..sirf aur sirf pyar ke kabil ho tum "

I said and a happy tear slipped from his eyes.

"I love you.. "

He said pecking on my lips.

"I love you more.. "

I said kissing him back.

He hugged me tight and I kept patting on his back as we fell asleep.

~~~

Next Morning

As I got up I saw my dearest husband snuggling closer to me. I smiled.

I knew he was in pain and I wanted to do something to relieve his mind.

I kissed on his forehead as an idea struck me.

" Yunhi bas ghurne ka iraada hein? "

He asked opening his eyes.

" Tu.. Tum jage huye the.. ? "

I asked.

" Bas aakhein khul gayi thi, jagta toh main tunhare jagne se hoon.. "

He said kissing on my neck.

" Uff.. Sach much meri kitabon ka tum par galat asar hogaya hein "

I said and got up to get ready.

" Gharwali, aapka banda ekdum original hein, usse kitabon ko copy karne ki zarurat nahi, in fact uski prem kahani par toh khud ek kitab banni chhaiyi.. "

He said.

"Bas apni tarif karwalo inke muh se.. "

I said and he laughed.

" Abb zyada hehe mat karo, jao ready ho..Main nahane ghus gayi toh bologe Bani tumne late karwa diya isiliye pehele aaj tum hi ready ho.."

I said and he got up pouting like a baby.
He picked the towel and got inside .

I smiled at my  husband's baby antics.

I was about to plan the surprise when he came back.

"Naha liya..? "

I asked.

"Arey nahi... Woh main kya keh raha tha.. Ki kyun na sath main nahale.. Time aur pani dono bach jayega.. "

He said with a proud smirk.

"Veeranshu Singhania! Now! GO! TAKE A BATH! "

I said firmly.

"Kitna darati ho apne eklaute Pati ko.. "

He said and went in to take a bath and I chuckled.

~~~

Veer's POV

It was during lunch when a parcel came for me.

I did'nt know who it was from until I read the note written on the card  and instantly a smile formed on my face.

" Dear gharwale,

Arz kiya hein

Lucknow da kurta, Pathani salwar
Tab lage mard warna lage bekar!

Dialogue toh suna hi hoga
Toh abb jaldi se aaj sham iss black kurte ko pehen kar aa bhi jana

Okay Bye

Your impatiently waiting
Gharwali♡ "

I smiled as I couldn't really wait to know what she had planned for me.

When you eagerly wait for something,every minute seems like an hour and that was exactly the case with me.

Somehow the long wait got over and it was finally time for me to go back to my home. My gharwali.

I drove to our place and everything seemed calm.

Ye hein kahan?

I thought and went to our room and as soon as I opened the door a smile formed on my face.

There she was standing in a pink lehenga looking as lovely as ever. Her hair left open, the baby pink colour bangles on her hand and the necklace adorning on her neck that I had bought for her in Switzerland.

She looked absolutely gorgeous.

I smiled and that's when my eyes wandered to our room that was decorated with rose petals and few candles.

I entered inside the room as she said.

" Ruko Veer.. "

She said and I halted.

" Jante ho aaj maine yahan inn mombatiyon ko kyun jalaya hein.. Kyunki yahan ki har ek mombatti ka aag humari woh insecurities aur mushkilon ko symbolise kar raha hein, jo humein andar hi andar jalate aaye hein..isliye aaj main chhahti hoon ki hum dono ek dusre ke taraf kadam badhaiye inn insecurities ko khatam karke, inn candles ko bujhake.. "

She said and I smiled.

" Tumhara sath kafi hein mere liye, tum sath ho toh koi insecurities mujhe dagmaga nahi payengi.. "

I said.

" Nahi Veer aaj humein ek dusre ke liye wadein nahi karne hein, aaj humein  khud se kuch wadein  karne hein. Aksar dusro ko toh hum beinteha chhane lagte hein par khud se mohhabat karna hi bhul jate hein.. Isiliye aaj tum khud ke liye kuch karoge.. Apne liye karoge.. Kyunki agar hum khud ka khyal rakhenge tab hi toh hum dusro ka khayal rakh payenge.. "

She said and I smiled.

I never thought about it. I just wanted to be loved by all so much that I always saw flaws in myself. I forgot to love myself in the path of getting loved and constantly trying to become a better version of myself or rather I would say the version that people expected out of me.

" Janti hu tum kya soch rahe ho.. Yehi na ki kabhi khud ke barein main socha hi nahi.. Par main chhati hoon ki aaj tum apne barein main socho.. Tum khud se mohhabat karo isliye nahi kyunki main tumse mohhabat karti hoon balki isiliye kyunki tum mohhabat aur har khushi deserve karte ho.. "

She said.

All of us want to be loved by our partners but the partner who makes you fall in love with yourself is called a soulmate. The partner who brings you to the shore when you are falling in oblivion is a soulmate. My Sweetheart is my soulmate.

I smiled and took steps towards her as I bend and  blew the first candle.

" I promise never to give up on myself and to love myself as much as I love others. "

I said and she smiled.

"Abb tumhari bari.. "

I said.

She took a step forward and bend to blow the candle.

" I promise to stay true to who I am.And embrace my imperfectly perfect self. "

She said.

Next was my turn again.

" I promise to respect and trust myself and my love."

I said blowing the candle and taking another step towards her.

" I promise to love without holding any baggages and insecurities in my heart and mind.. "

She said doing the same as me.

" I promise to pursue all dreams of mine without feeling selfish about it.. "

I said.

" I promise not to overthink and enjoy the present.. "

She said.

"I promise to have fun. And not let the child die that's within me"

I said as we came more closer to each other with each promise.

" I promise to believe in myself.. "

She said and now just one candle was left between us.

I held the candle in my hand.

" Abb iss aakhiri candle ka kya? "

I asked.

"Ye candle humare rishte main aayi har uss ek musibat ko khatam karne ke liye hein. Ek dusre se wadein karne ke liye hein.. "

She said and I smiled.

" Toh phir humare rishte ke liye bhi tumhe kayi candles lagane chahiye the sirf ek kyun? "

I asked and she chuckled.

"Kyunki life aesi hi hoti hein ghar wale.. Agar hum khud se kiye wadein nibhayenge toh humare pyar karne walon ke sath aadhe se zyada problems toh yunhi solve ho jayenge. Humara hi case dekhlo, agar humein ek dusrre ke worth pe yakeen hota toh hum kabhi apne pyar ko doubt nahi karte. Agar hum past ke baggages ko bhula dete toh humari insecurities humare rishte ko affect nahi karti. Isiliye agar hum apne andar ke andheron se jeet gaye toh bahar ka andhere main bhi pyar ke tare chamak hi jate hein.. "

She said and I cupped her face with my hand. My eyes were wet with happy tears. I really won in my life by getting her as my wife.

How beautifully she explained to me about the turmoil that I went through all my life.

" Gharwali.. Halaton ke wajah se main tut gaya tha. Khud par se bharosa uth gaya tha. Ye toh ummed hi nahi thi ki kabhi koi mujhe samjh payega.. Lekin tumne... Tumne sirf mujhe samjha nahi balki khud mujhe mujhse milaya.. Mere unn daron se mera samna kar waya jinse main chipte rehta tha.. Tumne mujh jaise tute insan ko itna tutkar chaha ki woh adhura se pura hogaya.. "

I said as a lone tear fell from my eyes.

"Veeranshu tum humesha khud ko lucky kehte ho par trust me I am very very lucky myself. I am lucky ki mujhe tum jaisa pati mila. Jo mujhe samajhta hein, meri respect karta hein, jo meri khushi ke khatir kuch bhi kar sakta hein, jo mujhe har ek din ye ehsas dilata hein ki main jaisi bhi hoon perfect hoon. Kisiko Patni kehna aur kisiko Patni ka darza dena dono different cheezein hein aur tumne Veer.. Tumne mujhe Patni ka darja, saman aur pyar sab diya hein.. "

She said and held my hand placed on her cheek as her eyes became wet too with happy tears.

" Janti ho Gharwali jab maine tumse peheli baar baat ki thi, tumhe uss safed kurti main dekha tha, unn silver jhumko ke sath mujhe toh shayad tab hi tumse aur tumhari baton se pyar hogaya tha. Mano mere dil ne tab hi thaan liya ki agar sau janmon tak bhi mujhe tumhara rah dekhna pade toh main dekhunga, par main humesha tumhara banke rahunga. Mere jism ka har ek roua aur mere rooh ka har ek hissa tumhare hawale kar dunga.. "

I said .

" I love you Veeranshu Singhania..Iss badi si duniya main mera pyar ka aashiyana ho tum"

She said kissing on my forehead.

" I love you more meri gharwali.. "

I said blowing the last candle and taking her in my arms.We embraced each other with all the love and respect that we felt for each other. I could practically feel her heart beating in my chest as our chest collided with each other's.

" You are my home too.. "

I said coming out of the hug and kissing her softly.

This was the gentlest and softest kiss we ever shared. It was like we weren't kissing each others lips rather getting lost in each other' soul.I cupped her face and kissed on her cheek as she looked into my eyes.

" Mera pass tumhare liye aur bhi kuch hein.. "

She said and took a step back as I felt a loss of touch.

"Hey sweetheart.. Door mat jao.. Mujhe accha hi nahi lag raha hei . "

I said and she smiled.

"Main bas cupboard se kuch nikalne ja rahi hoon.. "

She said.

"Toh chalo sath main nikalte hein.. "

I said and lifted her in my arms.

"Veer.. Tum na ekdum pagal ho.. Bas char kadam chalna tha mujhe.. "

She said complaining like a baby.

" Char kadam ho ya sau janam.. Main tumhara sath nahi chorne wala hoon.. "

I said and she smiled.

"Toh phir chaliye Mr Singhania.. "

She said and I walked till the cupboard.
Bani took something out of it and then stood in front me.

" Tumhe yaad hein Switzerland main, I told you I am going to shop for my students.. "

She said.

"Yeah.. "

I said.

"Well, I lied. I went to shop for someone else.. "

She said.

"Who? "

I asked.

"You.. "

She said with a smile and showed me the musical box that I had found on the street in Switzerland.But the box wasn't broken anymore. It was fixed. Yes it had cracks marks but it was working now.

" This.. "

I said.

" I had bought it for you. "

She said.

" Main ye tumhe dena chahti thi kyunki this just looked like us.. Our happy moments of Switzerland.. But then I heard your and Chandani's conversation and ran away. God I still feel stupid about it but yeah.. I guess once again the destiny played it's game. Jisse milna hota hein woh mil hi jata hein, shayad isiliye tumhe ye tuta hua music box bhi sundar laga.. "

She said.

" Thank you sweetheart... It's beautiful.. It really is.. "

I said admiring the musical box once again.

" But sorry maine fix toh kar diya par ye nishan nahi gaye.. "

She said.

" Koi baat nahi sweetheart.. Ye nishan ye darshate hein ki mushkilon ke baad bhi koi isse dagmaga na saka.. Ye darshate hein ki mohhabat ke aage kuch bhi na chale.. "

I said and she smiled.

"By the way Thank you so much for this lovely necklace too. I know tumne ye blue main kyun liya.. "

She said.

" Meri Titanic painting scene dream puri karne ke liye.. "

I teased her and she hit me on the shoulder gently.

"Bohot bure ho tum.. "

She said cutely.

" Jaisa hoon aapka hoon . And yes I bought it because it's Jahnavi Maa's favourite colour .. "

I said and she smiled.

"I knew it, you have always being thoughtful with your gifts. You know hum ladkiyon ko na mehenge tohfe nahi chahiye hote hein, humein thoughtful tohfe chahiye hote hein, jinka koi matlab ho, koi memory ho. Aur tumne humesha mujhe aese tohfe diye hein. Chahe woh humari engagement ring ho, jismain tumne lilies ko choose kiya kyunki woh mere favourite the, ya phir kitabe, ya badi maa ki payal aur abb ye necklace. I know tumne toh zarur mehenga hi liya hoga ye tohfa but trust me ye khas ye tunhare pyar aur blue colour ke wajah se na ki iss wajh se ki ye sapphire hein.. "

She said and I smiled.

" Tumne mujhe itne sare tohfe diye hein sweetheart aur tum mujhse hisaab kar rahi ho. Main toh har hi jaunga.. "

I said and she frowned.

" Kaise?"

She asked.

" Tumne mujhe meri self confidence gift ki hein, mujhe bepanah pyar diya hein, mujhe wapis meri family ka pyar diya hein. Isse bada tohfa koi kya hi de sakta hein gharwali? "

I asked and she hugged me again.

" Permanent booking hogayi hein aapki Mr Singhania. Abb har janam aapka mera hua. "

She said and I hugged her back with a smile.

" Woh toh peheli nazar main hi ho gayi thi. Also, aaj pink colour main koi bohot pretty lag raha hein.. "

I said and she smiled.

"Aur koi black kurte main bada sona lag raha hein.. "

She said and I smiled.

" Iss kurte ki kya zarurat thi.. "

I asked.

" Zarurat kaise nahi thi? Mera bhi haq banta hein apne Pati ko spoil karne ka. Uski pasandeda cheezein aur uske shauko ko pura karne ka jaisa woh mere karta hei. And also, aaj na husband appreciation day hein, toh socha apne pati ko appreciate kardu.. "

She said.

"Pati patni ko ek dusre ko appreciate karne ke liye koi din nahi chahiye, kyunki they should appreciate each other every day.. "

I said and kissed on her nose.

"Fine then let me spoil you every day... "

She smiled and I smiled too.

My baby.

I couldn't resist myself as I kissed her again and my hand moved in her locks.

My kiss was full of love and passion and she kissed me back with the same love.

" Wait a minute.. "

She said pulling back.

"Gharwali agar ek baar aur tumne mujhe yun roka toh pakka meri jaan chali jayegi.. "

I said.

" Par main toh kahi nahi jari.. "

She said and we laughed together.

" Koi cheesy hogaya hein mere sath rehte rehte.."

I joked and she again went and brought my tablet.

"Aaj room decorate karte waqt mujhe ye mila.. "

She said and I immediately lifted my hand to take it from her hand.

" Aah.. Wait meri jaan.. Don't you think I deserve to see this considering ismein har ek painting meri hein.. "

She said and a blush formed on my face.

Yes I had painted her. Digital art was something which I really liked and painting her became my hobby. I had thought that it was just these paintings with which I would spend my entire life with but with God's grace I got my beautiful angel as my wife.

"Gharwali woh.. "

I said.

" Don't you know Mr Singhania that painting someone without their permission is wrong.. "

She said.

" Sorry. "

I said rubbing my hand over my hair.

" Sorry se kam nahi chalega... I want compensation.. "

She said.

" Haan bolo na.. "

I said.

" I want you to paint me today.. Live.. With this beautiful necklace on.. "

She said and I smiled.

" Sure sweetheart.. Would love that.. "

I said.

" I meant Just with the necklace on.. "

She said and I looked at her shocked.

" Husband appreciation day par ek gift toh banta hein, so let's complete your fantasy ghar wale.. "

She said and moved back with a smirk on her face.

I was teasing her earlier but it was me now whose face was red.

"Umm.. Are you sure? "

I asked shyly.

"More than anything.. "

She said with a smile and moved her hand to take off the chunri from her lehenga. I gulped.

" Tablet toh kholo.. "

She said and went on to open her blouse.

I didn't know why my eyes lowered feeling shy. I know we had done alot of unholy things together but some how every time with her seems like a new teenage love experience. And her stripping in front of me, looking straight into my eyes seemed even more intimate.

" Aaj bhi sharma kar yun nazare jhuka loge toh meri mohhabat dungni ho jayegi Veer.. "

She said and I looked up a little with a soft smile. She had opened her blouse and her upper body was all bare in front of me. My hands clumsily opened the tab and then the app while my eyes kept sneaking little peeks of her.

Soon I felt like she settled on the bed.

" I guess your masterpiece is ready to be made.."

She said and I looked at her being settled on the bed with just the blue heart shaped necklace adorned around her slender neck. Her beautiful locks falling on her face and chest. And her bare body that genuinely looked like a masterpiece.

A masterpiece made especially for me to cherish all my life.

I smiled at my thought.

" Beautiful.. "

I muttered.

She blushed.

I soon started painting her and not for once she stopped looking straight into my eyes. This moment somehow seemed more beautiful than erotic.

I remembered how initially she would always cover herself thinking that she wasn't perfect enough but today her being confident enough to be bare in front of me with all her charisma and confidence made me feel very happy. Her embracing her external and internal beauty , made her seem even more beautiful today.And her finding her comfort in me, made me feel special.

"When do you not find her beautiful? "

My heart asked.

" I guess I always do and it just keeps multiplying every day"

I said to my heart.

I drew her beautiful eyes that had love, warmth , care and respect stored in them.Maybe even a hint of naughtiness. I went on to draw her cute nose and then her luscious lips. I kept painting her honey toned skin while she didn't complain a bit and just kept looking at me with a beautiful gaze. Yeah.. There was something very beautiful about it.

I went on to draw her beautiful bosoms, her soft toned belly, her thighs with strech marks on the sides that made them look even more attractive for me and her beautiful legs and then her femininity.

The picture was made, I don't think any art could match the actual beauty of my love but I guess I was a little near to that.

"It's done sweetheart.. "

I said and she got up with a little smile on her face.

She took the tablet from my hand and looked at the picture. Her lips parted taking in the painting.

"It's beautiful Veer.. "

She said.

"Not more than you"

I said kissing on her head.

"You know the first time I saw my painting in your phone's lock screen, I wondered how you were able to replicate even the emotions in my eyes. And guess now I know.. Because you seeped right through my heart and became a part of my soul. "

She said and looked at me with happy tears in her eyes.

" I love you Sweetheart.. "

I said.

"I love you more Gharwale. "

She said and captured my lips.I kissed her back and lifted her in my arms as I carried her to the bed and placed her there.

For a second I just stood there and looked at my divine beauty who was looking at me with love. I started undressing myself without breaking our eye contact. As all the apparel slipped off me I hovered over her.

I kissed on her forehead and then on her cute little nose. And then on her cheeks and jaw. My fingers feathered her cheeks as I kissed on the crook of her neck and she sucked my earlobe.

Today I wanted to cherish every inch of her body. I wanted to make love to her. The purest form of love. Sensually beautiful.

I sucked on her lips as she closed her eyes and sucked mine. I moved downwards as I dropped a kiss in the middle of her chest and her chest heaved with a long breathe.

Her fingers moved in my hair as I went further southwards tracing her belly with my kisses. Before she could anticipate I turned her over and dropped a kiss on her neck.

"Veer.."

She moaned as I sucked the sensitive spot on her neck. I kept leaving a trail of kisses on her back when she turned and sat on top of me as she started kissing me on forehead, nose, cheeks and jaw just like I had done.

I smiled as she kissed and then bit on my lips.

"My wild cat.. "

I said and she giggled.

Damn her giggles. They were music to my ears.

She further moved down pecking my abs and trailing her fingers all around.

Her touch had already hardened my member but she made me impossible to resist her when she kissed just above my crotch.

I flipped her and kissed her as I entered in her in  a go.

"Veeeeerrrrrr... "

She moaned with my sudden intrusion as her nails dig on my back. I slowed down a little giving her time to adjust with my member. She kissed on my cheeks and kissed on her forehead as I kept moving in her.

I think this was how love was. Love made physical intimacy seem so beautiful. Love for me was sharing our soft intimate moments and wild fantasies with the same person. And I know it meant the same for her.

I kept moving in her when she said whispering in my ear.

" Faster Veer.. "

She said and I immediately left that tiny bit of control that I had over myself as I started moving in her faster. My hand cupped her cheek while my thumb was in her mouth.

" I love you Bani.. "

I said with every thrust.

" I.. I love you Veer.. "

She replied in her sultry voice.

"Promise me you will always be by my side."

I said moving closer and kissing her lips.

"I promise Veer.. I will always be by your side or under you or on top you.. "

She said naughtily and I bit on her chest gently while still moving in her .

"Ouch.. "

She whimpered.

" You are so naughty.. "

I said and sucked on the same spot.

" I am yours.. "

She said and I smiled.

"Forever.. "

I said and we spent the rest of the night making love and sleeping in each other's arms.

~~~

Bani's POV

6 MONTHS LATER

It's being six months since the surprise night that I had planned for Veer.

8 months since Maa got admitted.

In these 6 months alot of things happened.

Aakesh and Ishita got engaged.In 15 days they were going to get married.

Yes freaking finally, I am going to attend one of my besties wedding!

Meera Di and Tapish bhai became parents of Misha and Mishkat as they wanted and I became a Maasi of two little and cute munchkins.

Rudra and Bhavya finally confessed their feelings to each other and were now together.

They still fight alot though.

Siddharth and Soumya also got married and me and Veer had went on their reception to congratulate them.

Chandani was 8 months pregnant. But during this time it wasn't just her friends and family who supported her, it was even Teer who always took care of her. He always supported her and they had become best friends by now. Whenever she used to overthink , he calmed her down.

And our little Mihu was two years old now. I still remember the day he first walked and the way all of us rejoiced in happiness.

I was happy that everything was falling into their places. But today was an even more happier day because Maa was returning home.

She wasn't completely cured yet but the Doctor suggested that she should live in the home environment now and soon she would be completely fine.

Me and Veer were on our way to the hospital and he was really tensed.

" Veer.. Pareshan mat ho.. Hum maa ka bohot khayal rakhenge.. "

I said holding his hand.

" I know Sweetheart, it's just that Maa keeps forgetting about us and somehow that really pains me.. "

He said.

" Dimag bhul jata hein Veer, dil nahi. I know it sounds very unrealistic but it is true. Kayi baar unn cheezon ko dikhakar jisse yadein juri ho, logon ko apna past yaad aa jata hein. Kyun na you make Maa relive few moments."

I said.

" I hope that works. "

He said.

"It will.. "

I said and we got down the car and went inside the hospital.

We found Papa waiting for the doctor outside. No one had spoken to Papa since that day. Only Mahir bhai had few conversations with him but that was also only concerned with Maa's health. He did stay beside Maa for eight months and we knew he was guilty but still the damage was done.

His one decision impacted the whole family. It affected Maa's health, deprived a son from his mother's love and affected the upbringing of other son.

He looked at us but Veer didn't say a word to him.

"Veer beta.. "

He said but Veer didn't look at him.

" Dekhega bhi nahi apne Dad ke taraf.. "

He said.

"Dad? I don't see any Dad here. I can see a businessman though. "

Veer said.

"Aesa mat keh beta, janta hoon bohot badi galati hogayi mujhse par please mujhe maaf karde. Main sab thik karna chahta hoon. Apni galati sudharna chahti hoon.. Aaj koi businessman nahi balki ek hara hua baap tere samne khada hein. Ek hara hua pati tere samne khada
hein.. "

He said and Veer's eyes moistened.

" I always idolised you.. I always did. Just like you I worked very hard for our business but never ever would I ever abandon my family for it Dad. Raat bhar soya nahi karta tha, company ke deals ke liye. Par aaj agar meri patni ko ek zukam bhi ho jaye, toh main crore ke deals ke meeting se zyada uski chinta karunga.. Apne family ki.. "

He said with pain evident in his tone.

" I know beta.. Main jitni baar mafi mangu kam hein par please mujhe kam se kam Dad toh keh."

He said.

"Jab tak meri Maa thik nahi hoti, jab tak meri maa aapko maaf nahi kar deti hein main aapse baat nahi kar paunga.. "

Veer said averting his gaze from Papa.

"Jaisa tu kahe beta.. "

Papa said.

" Mr singhania aap patient ko ghar le ja sakte hein.. "

The doctor said and we brought Maa back home.

Veer held Maa's hand while Papa held her other hand. I stood behind them but a little smile was on my face.

Bhabhi opened the door with the arti in her hand. Teer, Bhai and Mihu were also standing behind welcoming Maa.
Bhabhi did the arti and we entered inside the mansion.

"Bani aur Bhabhi, aap Mom ko andar le jaiye.. Main aata hoon.. "

Veer said and went somewhere.

Me and Bhabhi took Maa inside.

We made her sleep when Veer entered.

" Arey Bani, Bhabhi.. Mom right side nahi left side par soti hein.. "

He said and made Maa get up as he brought Maa to the left side.

" Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hein, main jab chota tha aur apne kamre main rone lag jata tha ye kehke ki mujhe bas meri Mom ke sath sona hein toh Mom mujhe humesha apne aur Dad ke bich main sulati thi. And Maa's side was always left.."

He said and I smiled at his thoughtfulness.

"Chalo Bani.. Main khana ka dekhti hoon Maa ke liye..Tum ruko yahan thodi der Veer ke sath"

Bhabhi said and I nodded.

Veer then opened a bag that he had brought with him. He took out a photo frame and wiped the dust off it.

"Mom aapko ye yaad hein, ye dekhiye Meri, Mahir bhai aur Teer ki picture aapke sath.. Ye humne Mahir bhai ke ninth birthday par liya tha.. Main aur Teer zid pe aa gaye the ki cake cutting toh hum hi karenge chahe birthday bhai ka hi kyun na ho.. "

He chuckled.

" But phir aapne samjhaya ki dusron ke palon ko cheenna galat hein, humein apne pal khud banane padte hein.. Tab zyada kuch samjh toh nahi aaya tha , haan par aapke cake ke bigger piece mujhe dene ki baat zarur samjh aayi thi mujhe.. "

He said with a smile on his face and even I smiled. But Maa just kept looking at him.

" Accha ye yaad nahi , toh ye toh yaad hoga... Dekhiye . . Ye leopard.. Aapne mujhe mere 5th birthday par diya tha.. Yaad aaya? "

He asked and Maa still just kept looking at the toy.

"Nahi?... Koi baat nahi.. Bas inhe apne pass rakhna.. Dekhna dheere dheere aapko sab yaad aa jayega Mom.. Aapko aapka Veer yaad aa jayega.. "

He said still not losing hope.He kept showing few more toys, gifts and pictures to Maa and my love for him kept increasing more and more with each passing moment.

Finally he took out an elephant toy.

"Mom ye toh pakka yaad hoga na aapko..? "

He asked with hopeful eyes but Maa didn't respond.

" Koi baat nahi.. Aap ye lijiye dawai khaiye.. "

He said and made her eat the medicine.

He kept a pillow beside her so that she doesn't fall and made her sleep patting on her head.

Bhabhi soon came to call us for lunch and Teer entered in Maa's room while we moved down.

At Night

I was going to change in my night suite when I saw Veer leaving.

"Veer kahan ja rahe ho? "

I asked.

" Woh ye  dawai hein, mom ke liye, aur ye Paani.. "

He said.

"Par dawai  tum de chuke ho
Maa ko.. "

I said.

" Haan ye kuch aur dawai hein, just in case zarurat ho aur mujhe pillow bhi rakhna hein Mom ke side main.. Kahi woh gir na jaye..Aur mujhe.. "

He said when I cut him off putting my index finger on his lips.

"Shhh.. Calm down ghar wale.. Maa bilkul thik hein, abb sab thik ho gaya hein aur aage aur bhi zyada behtar hoga. Extra dawai ki zarurat nahi Maa ko hum sab ki zarurat hein. Aur pillow tum already rakh chuke ho. So calm down and take a deep breathe. "

I said and he calmed down with my touch.

" Main kya karu, bachpan main suddenly uss incident ne mujhe meri Mom ko cheen liya.. Bohot koshishe ki unka dil jeetne ki lekin main jeet nahi paya, phir jab aas chordi tab mujhe meri maa ka sath phir mila.. 22 saal baad Bani.. Main shayad apne jazzbat sambhal nahi pa raha hoon. "

He said.

" Veer.."

I said and slowly engulfed him in a hug.

" Sab thik hojayega.. "

I said patting on his back.

" Tum sath ho, toh wakai sab thik hojayega.. "

He said and I pecked on his lips.

" Uff.. Aaj kal ki patniyan ek mauka nahi chorti hein.. "

He said jokingly and I hit on a chest with a smile on my face.

" Uff... Hasee toh phasee.. "

He said teasing me.

"Abb chalo, Maa ko good night bol dete hein hum.. "

I said and we went to Maa' s room.

When we went Maa and Papa had already slept. Papa was holding Maa's hand.

Veer went and kissed on her forehead.

"Good Night Mom.. "

He said softly and started leaving when someone held his hand.

It was Maa.

"Maa Tu jagi huyi hein.. "

He said and Maa didn't reply. Rather she took the elephant toy that Veer had showed her earlier and gave it to him.

Veer's eyes moistened with tears as he smiled.

"Sojaiye Mom.. "

He said patting on her head gently and came out

"Veer.. "

I said sensing the tears in his eyes.

"Bani.. Maa is remembering us.. "

He said hugging me.

"How.. How do you know that? "

I asked.

" Pata hein Maa ne mujhe ye toy kyun diya.. Kyunki ye wohi toy hein jiske bina main bachapan main kabhi nahi sota tha.. Mujhe humesha Mom aur Jumbo sath main chhaiye hote the.. And Mom.. Mom that's why gave it to me. "

He smiled and I cupped his face.

"Tumhare pyar ka kamal hein. Maa will be perfectly fine very soon.. "

I said.

He joined our heads together.

"Thank you for bringing light into my dark life gharwali"

He said with a smile and happy tears in his eyes.

"Thank you for becoming the oar of my life's boat ghar wale.. "

I said with the same emotions in my eyes.

As they say love triumphs over all.And our love had won over all the evils, those lurking outside us and even those lurking within us.

And now we were one .

We were unbreakable.
