Hey sweethearts, happy reading 💜

Bani's slumber got disturbed by Veer, who was biting her fingers to wake her up.
Bani : Ouch!! What is this? Can you at least once wake me up like a normal human do? (She pulled back her hand)
Veer : Wake up, jaan. We are not here to sleep. We have many important things to do.
Bani : Jet lag, Veer. It's night time at India.
Veer : But you slept for almost 11 hours in the flight. You are such a sleepyhead.
Bani : I know and thank you. (She rolled her eyes and laid back on the bed)
Veer : Okay fine. You sleep here and I will go for the dinner date with my new girlfriend here.
Bani : Yeah, please go. (She huffed)
Veer : Alright.
After some time, Bani heard Veer's voice again.
Veer : Hey babe, my wife says she doesn't mind us going for the date tonight so what say?
Veer : Awww so sweet of you, honey. Let's meet around 7  at....(He stopped when Bani snatched his phone)
She threw the phone on the bed without checking the caller ID and grabbed his collars.
Bani : How dare you! Who is that bloody witch? (She roared)
Veer : Tch tch tch.. What is this, sweetheart? Such a bad manner. I haven't inform her the address yet. (Saying this, he stepped ahead to take the phone but Bani pushed him on the bed)
Bani : I will kill you if you go out without anyone else! (She climbed on him and sat on his stomach with her legs either side of him)
She took the pillow and started hitting him. Veer tried to explain her but she was not ready to listen to him.

Veer : Sweetheart, wait! Listen to me first. (He held her hands to stop her)
Bani : I won't! How can you go for a date with another girl? Who is that chudail? Tell me now!
Veer : Oh God, can you listen to me first?
Bani : No! You listen to.... (She stopped as he flipped their position and hovered over her)
Veer : Shhh, not another word. (He pinned her hands to the bed)
Bani : Don't touch me. You cheat!
Veer : Your heart knows if I'm a cheat or not, sweetheart. (He winked at her)
Bani : Move away! (She started pushing him)
Veer : No. (He locked her hands against her chest)

Bani : Ahhhhh!!!! Leave me!!!! (She started screaming)
Veer : Shhhh wifey stop that. I'm not sure if this room is a soundproof or not. Don't give others any ideas.
Bani : Then leave me. I hate you! You go and date whoever you want. I don't care!
Veer : Wrong words, baby. Listen to me first. I didn't call anyone. I was just teasing you.
Bani : I knew that. (She murmured under her breath but he heard that)
Veer : So you knew it but still you were picking a fight with me?
Bani : Hehe sorry, Mr Husband. (She giggled and kissed on his nose)

They both got ready and went for the dinner date planned by Veer. Post their dinner, the restaurant manager personally went to Vani's table and provided a complimentary bottle of wine as it's their rule to observe a romantic couple once a week and compliment them. At first Veer tried to reject politely but Bani accepted it much to Veer's displeasure. Then, they decided to stroll along the beach and spend some time together.

Bani : Veer, I can't walk with these heels anymore. Let's go back to our room.
Veer : Remove the heels, sweetheart.
Bani : I don't like to walk on the sand barefoot. (She pouted)
Veer : Oh God, you are so complicated! Okay, come let's go home. (He huffed and started walking ahead)
Bani : I'm sorry. Let's come again tomorrow and I won't wear heels next time.
Veer turned and smiled at her. He wrapped his arm around her neck and kissed her forehead.
Veer : It's okay. Come, let's go back to our room.
They entered the hotel and were walking to their room but Veer stopped when he saw their hotel manager at the reception.
Bani : Why did you stop?
Veer : Sweetheart, you go to the room first. I will come behind you.
Bani : Why? Let's go together.
Veer : No, you go first. I have to talk to the manager here.
Bani : But what.... (She was cut by him)
Veer : You go first, Bani. (He passed her their room keys and the wine bottle)
Bani got excited after getting the wine bottle. She immediately agreed and walked to their room whereas Veer went to talk to the hotel manager regarding his plan.

At Vani's room :
Twenty minutes later, Veer entered in and the next moment his eyes widened in shock. Bani was laying on the floor with her legs against the wall.

He thought something happened to her and immediately rushed towards her.
Veer : Bani? (He patted her cheeks and she opened her eyes)
Bani : Hey! My hubbyyyyy is back. I missed you hubbyyyyyy. (She giggled)
It didn't take much time for him to realise why she was behaving like that. He looked at the wine bottle beside her which was left with only a quarter amount of wine.
Veer : Bani, who asked you to drink this wine? (He pulled her up and made her stand on her feet but she was stumbling to stand at one place)
Bani : Veeru, I looooveee youuuuu!!! (She screamed, spreading her arms wide)
Veer held her arms and supported her to stand without stumbling.
Veer : You drank too much today. You know right you have low tolerance to alcohol then why did you drink it?
Bani : Nooo, I did not drink alcohol. I just drink this grape juice. (She said, pointing at the wine bottle)
Veer rolled his eyes and made her sit on the bed. He tried to remove her heels but she pushed him away and ran to the swimming pool. He quickly rushed behind her and grabbed her arm before she could jump into the pool.
Bani : Leave me! (She wiggled)
Veer : No, you will fall down sweetheart. Come let's go in.
Bani : Nope! I want to dance.
Veer : You can dance tomorrow. Let's go in first. (Saying this, he tried to scoop her in his arms but she shrieked loudly to stop him)
Bani : No!!!!!! Let me go!!!
Veer : Okay fine. Don't shout. (He left her hands and she started dancing)
Bani : Lalalalalalalalala (She sang while trying to do ballet dance) 
Veer couldn't help but smiled at her craziness.
Veer's mind voice : I just wonder how she is dancing so gracefully with her heels that too when she is not in her senses. She refused to walk with the heels just now but now she is dancing here. (He was bewildered)
Bani : Veeru, sing a song for me.
Veer : Remove your heels first, Bani. I'm afraid you might lose your balance and break your face again. (He chuckled)

He tried to hold her hands but she pushed him away and started hopping around on her heels.
Veer : Bani!! (He called in a warning tone, making her stop doing her drunk ballet dance)
Bani : Veeru, why are you scolding me? I hate you! (She pouted and sat on the hammock placed near the pool)
Veer : I'm not scolding you baby. Come let's go in and sleep. It's getting late. Don't you want to go for snorkeling tomorrow?
Bani : Nope! (She pouted and started counting the stars in the sky) 
Veer : Sweetheart, you are a good girl right? If yes, listen to me and come to sleep now.
Bani ignored him and continued with her counting session whereas Veer was losing his patience there but he promised himself to not burst out at her when she's not in her senses.
Veer : Swee... (He was cut by her)
Bani : Oh My God!!! Veeru, there is a situation. Don't get panicked, okay? (She told him with big eyes)
Veer : Huh? Can you please elaborate about the situation?
Bani got up and went near him. She leaned near his right ear as if she was going to reveal a secret to him.
Bani : The Moon's better half is missing. We should help him to find for her.
Veer : What? (He looked at her confusedly)
Bani : Arrey, see there. The Moon's better half is missing. He is looking so sad now. Come let's help him to find for his wife. (She said, pointing at the moon)

Veer : Oh God!!! Bani, it's called half moon. (He smacked her head)
Bani : Ouch!!! No, he just told me that his wife went to eat her dinner but she didn't return back to him.
Veer : What? Who is that he?
Bani : The Moon!!! Why are you getting deaf nowadays? I should bring you to cardiologist once we go back home. (She groaned exasperatedly)
Veer : No baby you are wrong. Cardiologists don't treat hearing problem.
Bani : Then I will take you to the gynaecologist.
Veer did facepalm and sat on the hammock exasperatedly.
Bani : Veer, come let's go and search for Mrs Moon. He is crying there. (She cried, pulling him by his arm to make him get up)
Veer's mind voice : Mom and dad, please come and save me from this nutcase. I can't handle her anymore. (He made a cry face, remembering his parents)
Bani : Hey, Veeru!!
Veer : Okay, fine. I saw Mrs Moon inside the room just now. Come let's go and ask her to go back to her hubby.
Bani : No! You are lying!
Veer : It's true, sweetheart. She is inside our room.
Bani raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms against her chest.
Bani : Do you think I'm stupid?
Veer's mind voice : She still has this doubt? (He rolled his eyes)
Bani : I'm the most intelligent girl in this world. No one can fool me. Understand? (She pointed her index finger at him)
Veer : Understood. You know something, intelligent people should not stay outside for too long so come let's go in first.
He held her hand and started dragging her but Bani being Bani jerked his hand away and pushed him into the pool.

Veer : What the hell!!! (He yelled whereas Bani was giggling at him)
Bani : Yayyy!!! (She clapped her hands excitedly)
Veer : Bani!! You are crossing your limits now!
He came out of the pool and pulled her closer to him by grabbing her left arm. Tears formed her eyes when he glared at her. His eyes softened and he immediately left his grip on her arm.
Bani : You are so bad! You are hurting me *Hiccup* I won't stay with you anymore. I will go and tell my mumma and papa. (She cried while hitting on his chest)
Veer : Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you I'm sorry. Come give me a hug. (He stepped forward to her)
Bani : Chi no!!! (She stepped away from him)
Veer : Why?
Bani : Your clothes are so wet *Hiccup* I don't want to hug you. I need to go and search for Mrs Moon. (Saying this, she started walking away while consoling Mr Moon by looking at the sky)
Veer : Arghh!! Hey, wait. (He groaned and ran to stop her)
Bani : Veeru *Hiccup* I'm going to help them. Don't stop me I'm on a mission now.
Veer : Baby, I told you right Mrs Moon is inside our bedroom. Come let's go inside and send her to Mr Moon.
Bani : Stop fooling me! Are you stupid? Moon always stays at the sky not in the bedroom.
Veer's mind voice : Thank God her brain is working even in this state.
Veer : So now you want to go to the sky and search for Mrs Moon there? (He raised his eyebrow)
Bani : Yes!
Veer : How will you go to the sky?
Bani gasped and looked at him with wide eyes.
Bani : Oh no! I didn't think about it. Veeru, can you drop me at the sky pilish? (She asked, showing her puppy face which made him to chuckle at her)
Veer's mind voice : This is the great chance. I should use this opportunity to bring her inside the room and make her sleep first.
Veer : Hmm I think I can help you but on a condition.
Bani : Hurrayyy!!!  Thank you so much, Veeru. Let's go now. (She wrapped her right hand around his left arm)
Veer : Wait. I said there is a condition too.
Bani : Mr Moon, wait I'm coming there. I will find your wife and bring her to you. (She ignored Veer and started talking to her imaginary Mr Moon)
Veer : Bani, look at me.
Bani : Huh?
Veer : I said there is a condition for you if you want me to take you to the sky.
Bani frowned and pouted.
Bani : What is that? *Hiccup*
Veer : I want you to come with me to the room first.
Bani : Why? Are we going to the sky through our room?
Veer : Yes. We can only reach the sky through our room.
Bani : Then why are you wasting time? (She snickered) Come let's go now.
Veer breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the moon one last time for ruining his night.

Inside the room:
Veer entered in with Bani and quickly locked all the doors to prevent her from running away to complete her mission of 'Finding Mrs Moon'.
Veer : Come and sit here first. (He made her sit on the bed but she got up instantly)
Bani : Why? It's getting late. Mr Moon is already waiting for us.
Veer : Baby, you sit here first. I will change my clothes and then we can travel to the sky. See here, my clothes are so wet. Let me change first. (He pointed at his wet shirt and pant)
Bani giggled at him.
Bani : Okay Veeru. Come fast.
Veer sighed and went into the washroom after taking his clothes and the room keys with him. He came out after changing his clothes and sat beside her. She poked his arm and he raised his eyebrow at her.
Bani : I want to tell you something. (She blushed)
Veer : What is that?
Veer's mind voice : I hope she doesn't start again by telling that the Sun's cousin is missing now. (He rolled his eyes)
Bani : I want that juice. (She pointed at the wine bottle)
Veer's mind voice : Ufff thank God she forgot about her mission.
Bani poked him again with a sweet smile.
Veer : No. You have to take off your heels and change your clothes first then only I will give you the juice.
She pouted and started removing her heels. Veer tried to help her but she stopped him and threw away her heels.
Bani : See, I threw my heels there. (She clapped her hands)
Veer : Go and place them in the shoerack, sweetheart.
Bani : Nope! (She pouted)
Veer : You are a bad girl. You are not listening to me so I won't give you the juice again.
Bani : No, I will do as you say. (She quickly went and placed the heels in the shoerack while Veer smirked)
Bani : Done. I'm a good girl now. Give me the juice.
Veer : You are not a good girl yet. (She made a cry face so he continued) Okay let's test it now whether you are a good girl or not.
Bani : I'm ready.
Veer smirked at her and went near her. Bani blinked her eyes to make her vision clear. He leaned forward and whispered at her ear.
Veer : Baby, strip. (He ordered and the next second a slap landed on his left cheek)

Veer : Ouch! Why did you slap me? I was just asking you to change your clothes. (He rubbed his cheek)
Bani : Who are you? You are not my Veeru. You are a bad boy! (She got up from there and turned away)
Veer : Sweetheart? See here I'm your Veer. Why did you say like that?
Bani : No!!! You are not my Veeru. You... you asked me to strip. You are a bad boy! (She cried)
Veer : Oh baby I didn't mean it in that way. I asked you to change your clothes.
Bani : You liar!!! What did you do to Veer? Did you kidnap him? Veeru!!! Veer!!!! (She started screaming and Veer quickly shut her mouth with his palm)
Veer : Shhh!!! Don't shout. I'm your Veer here. Look at me properly.
Bani stared at his face for few seconds without blinking and suddenly bit his palm.
Veer : Ahhh!! What's wrong with you?
Bani : You are not my Veeru. He has beard but you don't have it. Don't try to fool me just because you look like him.
Veer : Arghh!!! Baby, you are the one who asked me to shave my beard yesterday. (He groaned exasperatedly)
Bani : No!!! You are lying! Where is my Veeru?
Veer : Oh God!!!! (He held his head in his hands)
Bani : Go away! Don't come near me! (She turned her face to the other side)
Veer got an idea. He held Bani's hair and covered his chin with her hair.
Veer : Baby, see here I'm having beard now. Trust me I'm your Veeru.
Bani turned in swift motion to which he left her hair. She frowned when she saw the same face again.
Bani : You are cheating me! (Saying this, she started hitting him with her hands)
Veer : Ouch! Ahhh! Stop it!
She continued hitting him.
Veer : Bani!!!! Stop it!!! (He screamed on top of his lungs to which she flinched and jumped on the bed and covered herself with the blanket)
She slowly peeped out from the blanket and saw him glaring at her. She gulped in fear and got inside the blanket again whereas Veer took a deep breath to calm himself and switched off the lights to hide his face from her. He went near her and pulled the blanket off her. Much to his relief, she fell asleep instantly. He sighed and laid beside her, taking her in his arms and dozed off within seconds.

To be continued....

PRECAP :
Bani : Veer, why do I remember like you asked me to strip last night?
Veer : What?? Are you mad? Why would I ask you like that? (He asked innocently)
Bani : No, I'm sure. I remember you asked me to strip. Did you really use that word to me?
Veer : What nonsense? I'm not that cheap. I have never used that word in my 26 years of life.
Bani : Can I trust you? (She raised her eyebrow as she clearly remembered him saying something like that)
Veer : Of course baby trust me. I will never use such word to my beautiful, lovely wife. (He buttered up to convince her)

With love,
Zaara 💙
