Jai paced in his room. He had heard Balwant tell on the phone that he will wait for three days to break the news to the family. So, he had three days to do as much damage as he could in Veer's life. That would require careful planning and perfect execution. No mistakes can be made. He decided to burn the midnight oil.

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

The next morning, Veer woke Bani up quite early. She asked him to let her sleep but Veer reminded her of the self-defense classes and she quickly got ready. She didn't have any gym clothes so Veer asked her to dress as comfortably as she could in clothes that would not restrict movement. Bani searched her cupboard and found that one of her replaced night wear had a pair of shorts and a rather exposed top. She decided to borrow one of Veer's t-shirt and pair it up with the shorts.

She got ready and Veer's breathe hitched. He pointed at her exposed legs and Bani lifted the t-shirt slightly to show that she was wearing shorts but they were too short to be seen under his t-shirt. Veer smiled and ruffled her hair.

B: Veer! I just made the pony tail.

He reached out and made it correctly again.

V: There, all done! Today we'll go to buy some active wear for you..

Bani nodded. She noticed her pony tail was now lopsided but knowing how excited Veer had been post making it, she ignored  it.

They both reached the backyard which had a gym room. The equipment were to a side and one large window looked out to the beautiful gardens. That corner did not have any equipment but mats placed for safety. Before heading inside, they both jogged together in the garden and did some light exercises to warm up. Veer showed her his muscle flexes because he wanted her to swoon. He did push ups and Bani sat on his back. She giggled and thought he would fall flat. She  squealed in surprise when she noticed he continued his push ups with her sitting on his back as well. Bani got up quickly and blushed. Veer smirked at her. He began lifting weights while Bani did a few other exercises he told her to do. He noticed her long legs and her flushed face as she tried to do all the things with full concentration. He couldn't stop himself from going to her and scooping her in his arms.

B: Veeranshu!...ye kya kr rahe ho?

V: Weights...

B: Kya?

To her amusement, Veer picked her bridal style and continued to move his arms up and down as he would do with weights. Bani giggled and pecked his cheeks causing him to almost drop her. Post this, they both headed inside and went on the mats. Veer taught her some basic self defense moves.

V: Bani, in situation that are adverse, I hope you are never in them, but if you are...You need to keep a calm and clear head first. Don't panic and look for his/her posture. Predict the attack, block it and meanwhile look for exposed attack areas. You cannot do all this if your mind is in panic.

Bani nodded, absorbing all his words like a good student. He began teaching her and showing her basic attack moves. He would tell her how to block these.

V: Aaj thoda bohot blocking seekho pehle, okay?

B: thik hai..

They both were sweaty from all the work, Veer less than Bani, for she had never worked out post this and had lesser stamina comparatively.

V: Bs Bani, not much for today as it is your first day...ab cool down karenge..

B: Kyu?

V: Muscle pain hoga wrna...

They both did the cooling down exercises. Veer did a head stand to show off again. Bani clapped and he felt like he was on the top of the world. Bani said she wanted to try and did it half way.

B: Veeranshu!

V: Accha, try again...thoda rock your feet back and forth for momentum and try...I will hold your feet if you don't make it fully...

Bani smiled in excitement and rocked on her feet before trying the head stand. She almost did it and as promised, Veer held her feet to lock her in that position.

B: Veeranshu!...look!

Looking he was indeed, but the sight was making him hard. Bani had been wearing his loose t-shirt and that had ridden all the way down due to the head stand. He could see the outline of her blue bra and the short shorts were making her butt highlight in a very flattering way. He itched to just spank her and run his hands on her smooth stomach and back.

B: Veer, chodo na ab...kb se bol rahi hoon..

Bani moved her toes a little, but Veer was lost. The sudden movement made him loose his hold slightly and Bani propped back on the floor. Thank heavens for the mat.

V: Bani, shit! Are you fine...

He noticed Bani was lying on the floor with her eyes closed and heaving chest. The t-shirt was still ridden up and he kept a gentle hand on her stomach. Her eyes shot open. She looked at him, he was looking at her and her eyes went to his lips. She licked hers and Veer noticed that movement. It was his undoing, he got on top of her and smashed their lips together. Bani was taken aback by the intensity of it for a movement before matching his pace and kissing him. Their hands moved. He teased her smooth belly before moving his hands up to her chest. He massaged her bosom from above the bra and Bani gasped at the sensation. This gave him the opportunity to raid her sweet mouth with his tongue. Their tongues danced together for a long time but Bani broke the kiss due to lack of air. Veer simply continued down to her neck and sucked at it. His hands roamed freely on her body while her palms rested on his muscular arms and ran through his hair.

They both parted away post the make out session. Veer wanted to pull her for another kiss when he heard voices.

V: Shit! (looks at the clock) Daksh aur Ponky ka time ho gaya hai...they come here this time...

Both got up and she quickly re did her hair while Veer ran his fingers through his hair to get rid of the just-had-sex look. Daksh and Ponky entered and saw their bhai-bhabhi standing in a corner.

D: aap dono aaj yahan?

B: haan vo...vo Veer is teaching me from today..

P: Badhiya hai bhabhi...Bhai knows best but he usually doesn't have patience to teach others...lucky you! (winked at her)

Veer smacked his head on his way out.

V: I don't have patience with bad students and my sweetheart is a great student.

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

Jai woke up late. By that time everyone had had their breakfast and headed out to their respective works. Bani had left with Veer  as he had asked her to help him with something before lunch and they both had to head out post lunch. Jai was home alone but this gave him the perfect chance. He had thought of a vile plan and wanted to execute its first part tonight itself.

He got ready and headed out to gather the herbs for his plan.

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

Bani finished reading the last file and noted down the points. Veer was in a meeting. She thought to make herself useful and arranged all the files properly order wise. Veer entered the cabin.

V: Sorry gharwali, I am late. (he pecked her head)

Veer sat on the chair and realized his papers were no more a mess. He smiled at her gratefully. Bani gave him the notes on the files he asked her to go through and he nodded in approval.

V: Thank you sweetheart...oops sorry!...shit!..accha bhool jao

He got flabbergasted at the looks she gave on his thank you and sorry. Bani laughed at the effect she had on his.

V: accha mera mazak udati ho...ruko..

Veer grabbed her from her back and began tickling her. The entire cabin was filled with her laughs, a sound which was like music to Veer's ears. She squirmed and got out of his hold. She gave him an evil look and began tickling him as well. After a few minutes, she said.

B: You are not ticklish, are you?

Veer smirked at her failed plan and they headed out. They first went to beautiful place for lunch and made small talks. They parked the car in the edge of a jungle post that.

B: Veer hum yahan?

V: isse age car nahi jayegi.

B: so walking?

V: why walk when you can fly..

Veer scooped her bridal style and flew her above the jungle. Bani enjoyed the feel of wind on her face. They both landed in front of an ancient monument which looked like a temple taken over by nature.

B: Ye?

V: Garud dev ka mandir hai...humare devta..

Bani nodded and entered the temple with Veer. She joined her hands and bowed down in respect.

Cheel priest: Rajkumar! Aiye...aapka swagat hai..

V: Dhanyawad pujari ji..Bani, ye is mandir ke pujari hai..Pujari ji ye..

CP: Ye aapki patni hai, humari hone wali rani.

Bani blushed and joined her hands.

CP: Khush rahiye aap dono humesha. Rajkumar, jaise aapne kaha tha...vo saman tayyar hai..

They both prayed to Garud dev. They took the things Veer had asked to be prepared and left.

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

Jai was sweating bullets in a cave. He had been toiling for hours and it was almost dinner time now. He was brewing a potion which slowly turned bluish/turquoise in color. He started laughing like a maniac. He took it in a vial and left.

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

Bani and Veer were sitting with Daksh and Ponky. They were playing cards and talking about their day. Bani and Daksh had paired up opposite Veer and Ponky. Jai entered and saw a staff bring in coffee for the four of them. All of them picked up a glass and kept it on their side. Jai saw this as a perfect opportunity.

J: Veer bhai?

Veer looked up surprised that the nag was approaching them.

V: Kya hai be dhabewale?

J: I just wanted to apologize.

Donky frowned at his words.

J: It was wrong of me to do so...I am ashamed of myself and will never repeat it. Please please please maaf kr do..

Veer noded. He was slightly confused at Jai's behaviour.

J: thank you bhai..apne maaf kr diya..mai bata nahi skta ki mera kitna bada boj kam ho gaya...issi baat pr galle mil lo..

Jai gave a quick hug to Veer who pushed him away.

V: Don't push your luck..

Jai nodded and asked Bani for forgiveness too. Bani nodded. He moved away and slyly emptied the vial in Bani's coffee before leaving the four of them confused as hell.

What do you think is in Bani's coffee?
