Bani's POV

We set off for our first location. Aguada fort.

A Portuguese fort on sinquerim beach.
We had rented a swift desire.

Tapish was driving and Meera sat beside him in front.

I sat back near the window. I was always a window person and Aakesh beside me.
Then Mayuri and Veeranshu.

" So guyssss howwww excited are weeeeee...! "

Mayuri said with full josh as we all chuckled.

"Alotttttt...! "

We said in union.

The music was playing in the car. It was party music but soon a romantic number played.

Tapish held Meera's hand while Mayu held Veer's hand. Veer was lost looking at the outside scenic view and looked at her as she held his hand. We also had an eye contact for a moment but I turned.

My hair was flowing with the wind. My locks got scattered on my face as I saw Aakesh tucking my hair behind my ear and helping me.

I smiled and again saw a particular someone looking at us.

We soon reached the location.

And got inside. It was a beautiful place and specially the view of the sea from there.

Everybody were busy clicking pictures but I was just standing there while spreading my arms and closing my eyes.

The wind was flowing and touching my face. It's touch wad rejuvenating my soul.
A smile formed on my face involuntarily.

"So you moved on..? "

I frowned and opened my eyes listening to the voice and its source .

"Excuse me..? "

I said immediately.

" I just asked.. "

He said almost in a tone blaming me.
Okay he has officially pissed me off even more.

"Yeah I did.. Just like you.. "

I said not trying to break a fight as all our friends we're present there at some distance.

"So do you think he loves you enough...? "

He said.

" Well can't be so sure.. Honestly I have pathetic taste in men.. "

I said accusing him.

"Ohh yeah but one thing I am sure about is that he is'nt a coward."

I said adding on to the insult.

"I am not a coward.. "

He said gritting his teeth.

"Delulu is not the solulu Jijaji.. "

I said and tried walking past him while flipping my hair as he held my arm.

" Leave me... "

I said giving a death stare to him.

"I am sorry.. "

He said suddenly as his voice softened. I could see a sheet of guilt covering his face while the layer of anger and possession and fell down.

"Too late.. "

I said trying to control my tears.
He left the hold on my arm.

" And one more thing Veeranshu Singhania, if you dare hurt my Best friend remember that I will make sure that you live in hell.. "

I said with anger . What was he trying to do? He is jealous? He is fucking jealous? He had a fiancee and has the audacity to question my life choices.

"I am already living in it.. "

He said and for a second my heart felt heavy. What does he mean. I was about to ask but got interrupted.

"Tum dono yahan kya kar rahe ho..? Aao na !!!! "

Mayu said and took us for a picture.
Mayu was in between and we put are hand on her for the picture but that led to us brushing our hands against each other's. We looked towards each other and the photographer clicked the picture.

The unsettling feeling was still in my chest but I  tried forgetting it.

Keyword : tried .

We soon moved to our next location.

Basilica of Bom Jesus.

A catholic church renowned in Goa which had the pious and holy body of St Francis in it.

We soon entered the church as we found a guide who explained the historical story behind the place.

The guide showed us around and even the confession place where people could confess their sins.

I later went and sat to calm my mind. The place was holy and pristine and somehow helped me in calming down by insanely palpitating heart.

"Please guide me Lord, I don't want to commit a sin. I know these emotions are wrong. Please help me.. "

I prayed.

Soon it was time for us to leave.
We were walking out when Tapish asked.

"Where's Veer..? "

"He is talking to the priest.. "

Mayu said.

"Cool then let's go to the car, he will join us.. "

Aakesh said.

"I would like to stay for a moment. "

I said. Somehow I was getting a weird feeling . A feeling that was telling me to stay.

Everybody nodded and went.

I got seated on a chair and the public also were no more there.

I closed my eyes to calm myself when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I abruptly opened my eyes.

"You are going to fight a big battle my child, the darkness is lurking around and your light is the cure.. "

He was an old priest.

"Sorry Father, I don't understand.. "

I said being confused with his words.

"Not everything in this world is understandable but that doesn't mean they don't exist.. They do and they love to play with their prey.. "

He said confusing me more .

"I don't understand and who are you talking about.. ? "

I said.

" Remember the snake and it's tail. It's an eternal cycle. It starts where it ends and it ends where it starts. "

He said and I was about to say something.

"Bani.. "

I heard Veeranshu 's voice and turned .

"Veeranshu."

I almost whispered.

"Who are you talking to..? "

He asked.

"The father.. He.. "

I turned to point at him but as I turned I got shocked because no one was there. It was almost as if he disappeared in thin air.

"Are you fine..? "

Veeranshu said moving a little closer to me.

"I.. I.. Ye.. Yeah.. "

I said being nervous. Did I just hallucinate or something?

No no the priest was very much present. And what did he mean by snake's tail.. ?

"Bani I think you should rest.. "

He said holding my shoulder.

"I can handle myself Veeranshu.. "

I said and moved back as his hand on my shoulder was left hanging in the air.

He kept looking at me for a moment and slowly retraced back his hand.

His was too late to show his care.

I turned and started moving to the car as he joined too.

We soon went to few other spots in the northern Goa.

I tried not thinking about Veeranshu and of course my weird experience with the Priest. Where did he disappear?

We soon came to Palolem beach. It was the time of sunset and just like that day.. Our date we were witnessing the sky merging with the sea.

All of us were watching the view as my eyes met with his.

I can't keep doing this any more. I need to move on.

I am feeling very guilty at this point and maybe something casual will work out.
I was not going to risk my and Aakesh's friendship for this though.

And whoever it will be with , I will make sure we are on the same page.

I sighed thinking about just how fast the night changes.

We soon went to the resort nearby to change our clothes.

I got dressed in a pink and brown outfit and walked towards the beach.

"Ohh someone's looking very hottt...! "

Meera said.

"Aakhir kar best friend kiski hein.. "

Mayu said and we laughed.

"Let's go I am sure few breathes are going to be taken away.. "

Meera said and we left for the beach.
As we reached I looked at the man in front of me.

His well maintained body and sculpted structure made him look like a freaking model.

It was Veeranshu.

His head instantly turned in our direction as he kept looking at us.... Or I would say me.

We kept walking but he didn't break the eye contact.

We soon reached the beach and I went and stood near the sea as the waves touched my feet.

A smile formed on my face.

I could also see the beautiful sunset and nostalgia hit me.

I didn't know why my eyes wandered over to his and I saw him looking at it with the same expression .

Suddenly my emotions took over.

Why Veer? Why? Why did you break us? Why did you leave me? Why did you use me? Why do you still matter to me ?

I HATE YOU VEERANSHU SINGHANIA.

I thought as tears started slipping from my eyes.

I went from there near the bar counter in the ranch.

I ordered the drinks.

I knew his eyes we're still on me.

Soon the sun's light dimmed as the moon's light took over. The breeze were slowly touching our souls with its flow.
All of them were near the bonfire now.
Though I was busy with my drinks. Soon I saw just Aakesh and Veeranshu near the Bonfire.

I did see Meera and Tapish leaving together and we clearly knew why but where was Mayu?

I tried not thinking about it and again started drinking.

I was tipsy now.

"I want more.. "

I said to the bartender.

"No she doesn't.. "

Came a voice from behind.

" And who are you to take a call from my behalf..? "

I said. I knew who it was. Ofcourse it was Veeranshu.

"Your brother in law to be.. Forgot so soon..? "

He said repeating the words that I had told him earlier irritating me even more.

"Get the fuck out of here.."

I shouted at him.

"Bani don't force me.. "

He said gritting his teeth.

"Force you to do what? "

I said with equal intensity.

"This.. "

He said and immediately lifted me on his shoulder.

"Veeranshu leave me .. Right now! "

I said hitting him on the back with my hands.

We went to a little isolated area of the beach when he put me down.

"How dare you....!!! "

I said and was about to slap him when he held my hand and twisted it back, pulling me closer to him.

Our faces were inches apart and I could feel his breathe on my face.

My eyes we're red with anger and pain and his... His too.

So now he wants to play the victim. After putting me through hell he wants to play the fucking victim.

"You can't handle alot of alcohol.. You know that.. "

He said.

"Ohh so sorry Dad.. Next time I will take your permission.. "

I said sarcastically.

I could see he was angry but he was controlling his anger.

" You don't have to punish yourself to punish me.. "

He said suddenly his eyes softening.

" Ohh wait , you think I am doing this because of you.. Ohh don't be so delusional Brother in law.. "

I said again pissing him off.

"Right cause you have someone new in your life now.. "

He said possessively.

" The audacity.. You have a Fiancee.. Who I add is my Best friend.. And you are acting jealous..?????? Who do you even think you are? "

I said holding his shirts collar.

" You deserve the best . . "

He said.

"Best? And you think Aakesh is not? Whose best then You? Don't make me laugh . ".

I said

" I am not.. "

He said his eyes watering a little and I felt a prick in my heart.

He is playing with my emotions. I feel like crying. Those past moments were coming in my mind.

"I need to go.. "

I said as tears started falling from my eyes.

"Hum sab bhulakar dost kyun nahi ban sakte Bani.."

He said and I stopped.

"Sab bhulakar..? "

I said turning as now pure anger took over me. That pain subdued.

"Kya bhual du ? Ye ki humein pyar tha ek dusre se
Ye ki tumne mera dil toda?
Ya ye ki tumne mere jazzbato ke sath khela??
Kya sab bhuladu Veeranshu Singhania? "

I said with sheer anger. He had hurt me even more with this statement. He wants to be friends after the shit he put me through.

" Swe...sweetheart. "

He said trying to cup my face .

"Don't you dare call me that.. "

I said in anger.

He was trying to justify himself but he couldn't after all even he knew he was wrong.

"Zakhm dene wala nayi shuruaat kar sakta Veer par Jisko zakhm milta hein na usse ghav jaldi nahi bharte. Aur apno se mile ghav toh aur bhi khaas hote hein khambhakt puri umar apne dhoke ke daag jism par chor jate hein.. "

I said moving closer to him. We were very close to each other with watered eyes and tear stained cheeks.

"Mujhe bhi dard hua tha Bani.. Mujhe bhi zakhm mila tha.. "

He said and I laughed.

"Bani.. Sambhaalo.. "

He held my shoulder.

"Zakhm toh sach main lagi thi dono ko ,
Kuch galat nahi kaha usne ,
Bas usne uth kar malham laga liya ,
Aur humein kandhe par logon ne utha liya. "

I said putting my pain in the thread of words. He had killed my love and no I was not going to forgive him.

He left the hold on my shoulder. He looked broken. And My heart still didn't want to see him in that condition.

I knew my words were venomous but I was dying from within too.

Kadwi baaton se bolne wala aur usse sunne wala dono ko uska karwa swad chakna padta hein.

I started moving towards the resort and he didn't stop me anymore.

He was going to get married to my Best friend and here he was trying to mend our broken bond.

Honestly, I feel Mayuri should know about this.I didn't want her to feel betrayed later on just like I did.

I know she will get hurt but the more later she gets to know this the more deeper her wound will be.

I left for my room. I had to wash my face. I wanted to be in complete consciousness when I tell her about our past. After listening to it whatever she decides is her wish.

I took out the hotel card and opened the door but I saw.. I was not prepared for it.
I just stood still for a moment.

It was Mayu.

Mayuri who was Kissing a guy passionately.

"BA.. BANI.. "

Mayuri saw me and immediately pushed the guy back. I still can't believe what I just saw.

"It.. It's not what you think.. "

She tried to explain when I saw who the guy was.

Oh my god.

It was Jay fucking Mathur.

Our jerk senior.
