Veer - Welcome Sweetheart!

Bani - Veer... Tum yahaan..?

Veer - Pure 5 minute 6 sec late hein aap Ms sharma , point no. 1 not punctual, Boss se informally baat karna point no. 2...Office ke first day hi do galatiyan...

Bani - Ye mere sawal ka jawab nahi hein..

Veer - Yahaan sawal bas mere honge aur jawab aap dengi Ms sharma.

Bani (mumbling) - Khadus kahin ka..

Veer - Kuch kahan aapne Ms sharma?

Bani - No sir, absolutely not! (She says giving a fake smile)

Bani- Can I know waise ki aap yahan kya kar rahe hein.. Matlab Mafia aaj kal part time job main Ceo ka role karte hein kya?

Veer - Apni company main jo jee aaye main woh karunga and also main jo bhi hu jaisa bhi hu aapka hu..

Bani - Huh..?

Veer- Matlab aapka Boss hu Ms sharma.. So you better respect me.

Bani- Veer, itna toh main janti hu ki bina motive ke tumne kuch kiya hoga nahi, agar yahaan aane ki wajah main hu , toh please mujhe inn sabse dur rakho, ye job mere liye bohot zaruri hein..

Veer - Sweetheart, tum meri baat manlo aur tum, tumhara job aur tumhari family sab thik rahenge..

Bani- Tum mujhe dhamki de rahe ho..?

Veer - Just giving you a reality check sweetheart.

Bani- Stop calling me that and secondly Main tumhari koi demand, koi baat nahi manne wali hu...

Veer - Okay then, you are fired Ms sharma. (He says casually)

Bani - How could you...? Is this all a game for you?.. Tumhe ehsaas bhi hein ki yahan tak pohouchne ke liye maine kitni mehnat ki hein..

Veer - Baat simple si hein sweetheart, accept the deal or lose your job .

Bani - I don't even want to hear your proposal .. (She says in anger).. I can't believe... I can't believe that i actually thought . . I thought that you are a good person, that you have a heart...(she says with anger visible and a subtle pain in her eyes)

Veer was getting affected by those emotions in her eyes. He didn't want her to hate him but then again he didn't want a angel like her to enter in his dark world. He didn't want her to face the melancholic anguish which he was going through each minute in his life.

Apne pass rakhkar uske aakhon main aasun dekhne se toh behtar hein dur se uski muskurahat dekhna.

Veer (in mind)-Kal jo kuch bhi hua, was a reality check for me. He was right, this is wrong, these feelings only makes a person weak. Moreover, my sunshine doesn't deserve this darkness.my darkness. Wait a second.. Did I just call her mine..?

(A/N: Who do you think is Veer talking about here and what would have happened yesterday that again changed his demeanour?)

Bani - You are a monster! (She says with pain and disgust)

Veer - (creating a facade on his face)You are right sweetheart, I am a monster and Monster's don't have heart's.(he smirks)

Bani - What do you want?

Veer- I want you to stay in Singhania Mansion.

Bani - Excuse me!?

Veer - I want you to become Arnav Bhai's Caretaker, You can continue your job here and in the remaining time you can stay in our mansion and in order to make you feel Comfortable Bela will be there too.

Bani- Puri planning karke aaye hein aap toh Mr singhania but I am really sorry cause I myself set the terms and conditions of my life and others don't have a say in it.

Veer- Cool, then even I will do what I want to do!

Bani - Why are doing this to me!??... See I care about Arnavji ..

Flashback

Khushi - Mujhe Arnavji se baat karni hein, aur main unse baat kar ke rahungi, samjhe tum?

Flashback ends

"Arnavji " , Veer didn't like when anybody referred to Arnav like that. This tone, the sweetness in it, it seemed like a facade to him, a poison which kills you in the sweetest way possible.

Veer - It's Mr Singhania for you .. He isn't your friend. (He says moving towards Bani)

Bani - And you aren't the boss of my life ! (She says taking a step front towards him)

Both of them keep looking at each other,they were arguing with the same fire and pace. It seemed like they were back to square one.

Veer - Well technically, I am. (He chuckles)

Bani - You find this funny Veer. . Making a joke of my life, my career...

( As soon as Bani moves towards Veer , her foot slips on a paper bit lying on the floor. She falls but Veer catches her midway and she lands in his arms.His hands was on her waist while their faces were inches apart.)

Kehne ko toh nafrat ki aag jal rahi thi dono ke darmiyan par kahi na kahi do dil bhi pighal rahe the, chupke chupke nafrat se nazre chupa kar woh mil rahe the.

Bani (In mind) - Kyun..? Kyun? Kyun baar baar Veer ki aakhon mein dekhkar itna khoya khoya sa lagta hein, itni gehraiyan kyun dikhti hein uske aakhon mein. Aesa lagta hein mano kuch tuta hua sa hein uske dil mainn, lagta hein mano kuch bikhra sa hua hein uski zindagi bhi, mano woh tanha ho aur uska dil zakhmi ho.

Veer (in mind) - Kyun..? Kyun.. Sweetheart? Kyun jitna dur main tumse jane ki koshish karta hu tum utna hi kareeb, utna hi pass aayi hui si lagti ho. Jab tumhari aakhon main dekhta hu, toh ye lamha thehar jata hein, tumhari sanson ki khushbu hi deewana bana deti hei aur tumhari muskurahat ko dekh.... nahi veer Tu ye sab kya soch raha hein..!?.. Tu janta hein ye galat hein.. Sab galat hein..!

That's when somebody knocks on the door and Veer and Bani pull apart.

Vivaan - Sir, may I come in?

Veer - Enter Vivaan.

Vivaan - Sir, actually woh last meeting... (He starts speaking but stops as soon as he sees Bani there).. Sorry Sir I didn't know somebody was here.

Veer - It's alright Vivaan. In fact accha hua tum aagaye. I want you to allocate my PA to some other department because from today Ms Bani Sharma will be my PA...

Bani- What!??

Vivaan (In mind) - So she is the one, jisne peheli baar Boss ke dimaag nahi balki Dil main apni jagah banai hein.

Veer - I think I was quite clear sweetheart.. Wasn't I?

Bani - You are...

Veer - Extremely Hot.. Isn't it? (He says whispering In her ears while their proximity was clearing affecting Bani)

Bani - No you are a narcissist, a jerk , ruthless and heartless.

Vivaan was just standing there and watching their banter. A person was so openly humiliating The Veer Singhania and Veer was just standing their with a smirk on his face. Everybody knew how much Veer hated when somebody disrespected him but here something very different was going. Maybe things were really going to change a lot.

Veer - Hogaya ..So now tell me you will be my PA or you will quit this job and leave this company..you decide. The choice is all yours sweetheart. (he smirks)...

Bani - Youuuuuu!!

Veer - Ohh i forgot to tell you that you have just  3 seconds to decide.

Veer - Tick Tick 1 . .

Bani -Veer..!

Veer - Tick Tick 2

Bani - This is not fair..!!

Veer - Tick Tick..

Bani - Okay alright!!

Veer - That's like a good girl! (He smirks)

Bani so wanted to wipe that smirk off his face. She was pissed but Veer clearly had a upper hand here. But she was also Bani sharma, she was determined to crush his goals and motives.

Veer - So sweetheart..

Bani - It's Ms sharma for you SIR (She says emphasizing on it)

Veer - As you wish Ms sharma, so aapke Boss ka pehela order lene ke liye aap ready hein..?

Bani rolls her eyes

Veer - So for starters, why don't you get me a Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice.

Bani - Sir main aapki PA hu, pure office ki nahi.

Veer - I know that.. So?

Bani - So ye pure office ka order aapne mujhe kyun diya hein.

Veer - Was that supposed to be a joke?

Bani - Samjhdar ke liye ishara hi kafi heinn.

Veer - I don't like jokes.

Bani - And I don't like you par I am adjusting right ?.. Toh thoda sa aap bhi adjust kar lijiye mere jokes ke sath. (She says giving a smirk )

Vivaan (in mind) - Aesa kyun lag raha hein manlo mai Boss ke female version ko dekh raha hu. Wohi aag , wohi andaaz.

Veer (in mind) - This girl will be the death of me.

Bani - Can i leave sir?

Veer - Kabhi nahi (he says involuntarily)

Bani - Ji..?

Veer- Yes sweetheart.. Oops I mean Ms sharma. (He smirks)

Bani glares at him and leaves to get the order.

After sometime she returns with the order and gives it to Veer, there fingers slightly brush over each other's and they both share an eyelock with a tingling emotion in their hearts.

Bani then collects few files and starts leaving.

Veer - Where are you going sweetheart?

Bani - For the 100th time I am telling you to not call me that and I am your Pa Sir and if you didn't know PA's actually have to work.

Veer - And for the 100th time I am telling you that I do what I want to do sweetheart. Raha sawal files ka toh maine toh tumhe koi kaam nahi diya.

Bani - Maine aapke purane PA se sab baat karli hein, and I am just going through your schedules.

Veer - Toh karo na kaam... Kisne roka hein? Par meri Pa mere Cabin main hi kaam karegi.. You see the small desk there.. That's yours. (He says pointing towards the desk at the corner of his cabin.)

Bani - Pehele toh aesa koi rule nahi tha..

Veer - Pehele main bhi toh nahi tha sweetheart, Boss badla hein toh Kaam karne ka tarreka bhi badlega.

Bani - Yeah sure.. Why not? (She rolls her eyes)

Before Veer could tell something, a peon comes with a cup in his hand.

Peon - Madam aapne jo mangwaya tha.

Bani - Thank you Kaka, wahaan rakh dijiye.

Peon leaves and Bani goes back to her desk.

Veer - Kya hein woh ?

Bani - Zeher hein aapko chaiye? (She says giving a fake smile)

Veer - Uff.. Tum har waqt ye Nagin avatar mei kyun rehti hu.

Bani - Main aesi hu Mr singhania, aap dhyan rakhiye, kahi ye nagin aapko na das le.

Veer - Your boss is asking you something sweetheart.. Won't you answer?

Bani - I am having Aromatic leaves with Simerred water, Tepid milk, cardamons, ginger and few sugar cubes .

Veer - What's that?

Bani - Chai Mr singhania, Tea!

Bani had said it exactly in his style, copying his tone.

Veer - You were mimicking me.

Bani - No sir, how could I? (She says making a innocent face)

Vivaan standing at the corner was controlling his laughter looking at the duo.

Bani - I need to get some files sir from the store room.. So can I take your leave.

Veer - Go (he says with a scowl on his fave while looking at Vivaan)

Bani leaves.

Veer - Vivaan tumhe kuch zyada hi hasi nahi aa rahi hein.

Vivaan - Sorry Sir (he says looking downwards but still smiling slightly)

Veer - So, how's the deal with them going on?

Vivaan - Sir, I met their representative and they are all set with the consignment.

Veer - And regarding their boss?

Vivaan - Sir that's the weirdest part... Woh workers tak apne boss ko nahi jante.

Veer - Jab tak inke boss ke barein mein pata nahi chal jata, hum ye deal final nahi karenge Vivaan...

Vivaan - But sir isn't this great for our Business...itne aasani se ye humare haath laga hein

Veer - Itni aasani se humare hath laga hein, isiliye bol raha hu Vivaan ki kuch toh galat zarur hein, ye company "EUPHORIC".. Koi gumnaam insaan chala raha hein.. Itna powerful hein.. Par woh specifically humare sath kaam kyun karna chahta hein?... Clearly ye humne aasani se kamaya nahi hein balki usne humein ye khud aasani se diya hein... Aur jab tak hum iski wajah nahi jan lete.. We won't proceed..This deal might be dangerous or a trap.

Vivaan - Okay Sir!

Meanwhile Bani went to the store room, to look into few files for the coming meeting.

She started going through the archives.She finally found the file. The file was kept at the top most rack. Bani comes on her heels to pick the files.

As she picks the file and turns , the rack unbalances and almost falls on her. Bani's back gets slightly bruised but soon somebody switches over the positions with her .The rack was now supported on that person's back. It was Veer.

Veer /Bani - You alright!?

Bani helps Veer to put the rack back on its place.

Bani - Veer, tum thik toh hona?

Veer - I am alright sweetheart.

Bani - No, you are not..look you are bleeding.

Veer - Maine kaha na Sweetheart I am alright.

Bani - Open your shirt!

Veer - Suddenly tum kuch zyada hi straightforward nahi hogayi... Matlab fling with the boss.. (He smirks)

Bani - SHUT UP!

Veer - What..?

Bani - Shut up and sit down!

Veer - Par..

Bani puts her finger on his lips to stop him from speaking further.

Bani - Now, you are going to listen to me Veer and don't you dare speak a word. Samjhe?

Kisine bohot waqt ke baad Veer ko iss tarah danta tha. Par ye dant, ye Veer ke liye bohot khas thi. Jab koi humse humare liye lad jata hein, jab kisi ke daant main parwah jhalakti hein, toh dil ko ek ajeeb sa sukoon milta hein.

Veer just nods his head.

Bani - Call Vivaan!

Veer - Okay(he says looking at her with a smile) ... Vivaan ..

Bani (taking the phone from Veer) - Vivaan abhi store room aao , aur first aid box lekar .

Vivaan - Par..

Bani - Par war kuch nahi... Jaldi lao. (She cuts the call)

Vivaan (putting the phone down) - Ye toh pakka Boss ki female version hi hein.

Vivaan then goes to the store room with the first Aid kit.

Bani - Accha hua tum aagaye Vivaan.

Vivaan - Ms sharma par ye hua kaise..

Bani - Woh files ka rack gir gaya and he got hurt.. Please tend to his wounds.. (She says with a worried expression)

Vivaan looks at Veer, who glares at him to deny Bani's request.

Vivaan - Ms sharma, meri ek bohot important meeting hein toh aap hi sir ki help kar jidiye..

Veer gives a subtle smile, mouthing a good to vivaan. Veer was habituated of getting severe wounds, this was nothing for him but the idea of his sweetheart tending to his wounds was igniting a spark in him.

Bani - Par..

Vivaan - Ms sharma Sir ne aapko bachate bachte ye kiya. .chot khali..itna toh banata hein.. Ki aap unki help kare.

Bani - Umm.. Okay.. You are right.

Vivaan winks to Veer and leaves.

Bani moves towards Veer .

Bani - Shirt....

Veer - Shirt.. What? (He says teasing her)

Bani - Shirt kholo Veer..

Veer - Kya hua tum itni nervous kyun lag rahi ho.. Thode der pehele toh bada bossy ban rahi thi.

Bani - Sab cheez main mazak accha nahi hota hein Veer.. Main sach main pareshan hogayi thi...

Veer - Meri parewah kyun heii tumhe.. Tumhari life main filhaal sabse zyada koi problems create kar raha hein.. Toh i am sure ki woh main hi hu..

Bani didn't have an answer to his question. That was right, why was she getting affected so much by him? Why was she always searching for innocence in the eyes of a devil? She had many questions in her mind but she decided to change the topic and abstain herself from answering them.

Bani - Turn Veer..

Veer doesn't push her further to answer the question and turns. He knew that she was equally getting affected by his presence just like he was with hers.

Veer had now opened his shirt and his toned body was now on display. Bani glances at him but suddenly lowers her gaze realising what she was doing.

Veer - Itna tadogi toh mujhe sharam aa jayegi sweetheart.

Veer says and Bani's face becomes red .

Bani - Veer.. (She says slightly hitting him from the back)

Veer - Ouch sweetheart.

Bani - Sorry.. Sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you..

Veer - You can never hurt me Sweetheart.(he says with a slight smile )

Bani - Aesi galatafahami nahi palni chahiye Veer ..Aksar humein jinsein umeedd nahi hoti Zakhm wohi dete hein. (She says in a serious tone, Veer felt as if her persona had suddenly changed )

Veer - (slightly chuckling) You got me there Sweetheart.. Aadao se marne ka irrada hein.

Bani - Tum mudoge?

She starts putting the first aid on his back. As her finger touches his skin, a sudden feeling gushes into him. She also felt something building up in her. She bandages his wound while Veer just keeps looking at her.

Her mere touch had taken all his pain away.The lavender aroma around her was increasing his heartbeat.

Bani - Hogaya (she says getting up from there but Veer holds her hand.)

Bani - Veer..

Veer - Chot tumhe bhi lagi hein sweetheart...

Bani - Main dekh lungi Veer.. (She says looking downwards)

Veer -Tumne mere zakhm bhare toh kya mera haq nahi banta ki main bhi tumhari madad karu.. Tumhare zakhm bharu..

(He says in a whispering tone. Her back was now touching his torso and both were clearly feeling the undeniable attraction between them.)

Veer - Can I?

Bani nods

Veer slowly traces his fingers on her back, putting the ointment.She whimpers as his fingers touch her back, he slowly blows on it while Bani's breathe becomes uneven and her hold tightens on first aid kit in her hand. Bani turns around and looks at him.

They both were lost in the moment and the very next second their lips were in sync. Veer pins Bani to the wall. Both of them breathing heavily. He presses his lips against hers. They both share a passionate kiss, forgetting all the tensions between them . Bani was shocked. For a minute she couldn't register what was happening, but also didn't want it to end. Veer bit Bani's lower lip gently and Bani gasped. She melted in and ran her hands through his soft hair. Veer cupped Bani's face with one hand while their tongues battled for dominance. The warmth they shared was pure magic. Soon they pulled away, catching their breath. Both of them gazing into each other's eyes, lost in the overwhelming feeling.

Tuta hua sa lag raha hein ,
Kuch bikhra hua sa lag raha hein.
Dil Zakhmi hua sa lag raha hein,
Rooh tanha hua sa lag raha hein.
