Story Setup: It runs parallel to the current track. Episode 50 in the series. Veer was trapped by Jai taking Rani's roop but Bani and Tapish reached the location and released Veer. Jai pretended to be helping Bani. Veer came out and Bani quickly transformed into human form and asked if was okay. He was confused with the whole Bani-Rani thing and why he felt pulled towards his 'stalker' that he, in rage, said really mean things to Bani and left.

(Hope the setup is clear?)

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

Bani stood rooted to her spot. Tear pooled her eyes. Her husband, the man she so dearly loved had forgotten her. He flirted away with so many woman right in front of her and was always mean to her these days. He called her a gold-digger, a stalker and treated her like a maid. She had been enduring all this for a while now even though it broke her heart. But there is only so much a woman can take, that too, a pregnant woman. Her emotions were all over the place. She was happy yet sad that she couldn't share the news with her husband. Who knows what he will call her after knowing this.

J: Mai tumhe kitni baar smajhau Bani? Ab kuch nahi ho skta! Tumhare liye ab age bhadhna hi thik hai...bhool jao.

Bani look at Jai. She looked vulnerable. Jai's heart clenched. Had he not been so obsessed by her powers, he would have definitely loved her. If only there was a way of keeping her powers and her alive at the same time. He would have snatched her powers and continued to love on her as a powerless naagin. He sighed. He would pick powers anyday.

Tapish held Bani shoulder. He saw her as a sister and thought she needed the support. Bani looked at him and smiled. It looked fake and painful. She looked back at Jai.

B: Shayad tum sahi keh rahe ho Jai.

A tear escaped her eye. She looked like she was holding back a lot of tears.

T: Bani...

He looked at Bani with a lot of emotions. He was sad to see her so broken, ready to give up. The woman who had lived with a whole clan of her enemies and never given up was broken to an extend that she thought it was best to leave. He also knew that with each passing day, the chances of Veer remembering Bani were negligible and Bani could have wooed him as Rani but seems like someone took that away either. Now Veer wouldn't anyone close, who claimed to be someone else with a face of Bani. Tapish felt really helpless.

T: Vo Rani bankr aya kon tha pr?

B: Kya fark padta hai ab? Waise bhi mai kisko bewakoof bana rahi thi...khudko hi na? Veer Rani se pyaar kr leta, shaadi krta aur phir kya? Mai umar bhar kya identity se jeeti? Kabhi na kabhi to mere naagin hone ka sach bhi samne aata... (in mind: aur ye baccha...? iska kya hota...sb tk Veer Rani ke pyaar me padta bhi agar to is bacche pr sawal nahi uthte?...nahi, mere bacche ke liye...mujhe yahan se bohot door chale jana hoga)

Bani took her naagin form and went away. Jai tried to follow her but lost her.

J: Shit! Not again! pr tum jaogi kahan..ab tumhe mujhse koi nahi baacha payega...us cheel ke jeevan se toh tum door ho hi chuki ho...(laughs evilly)

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

Meanwhile, Bani reached the spot the landed on safely as a child. The spot where Baby Veer and Baby Bani first met each other, where she first realized that her husband was she a good man. She saw him in a different light here. She sat there and cried. Cried for all that she lost. Veer was never going to remember her! He was always going to stay away from her. She looked up and prayed to bholenath when she felt something shift. The invoked her powers and read the planetary movement again. They were normal. It meant that Veer was probably safe now. The kal dasha had gone. She smiled and held her stomach. She recalled Farishta's words. She wiped her tears and stood up.

B: Shayad yahi sahi hai...mera Veer se door jaane ka sochne se bhi ye kal dasha chali gayi...Vo to khush hi rahega...pehle jaisa jo ho gaya hai.....and uski khushi me mai khush hoon...apna jeevan mai humari yaadon ke saath nikal skti hoon Veeranshu...tumne jo mujhe diya hai...vo pyaar...aaj bhale hi tum bhool jao lekin mujhe to divya varshon ke baad milla hai...meri liye iska har ek pal keemti hai...aur farishte ne bhi kaha tha...hum sath rahe na rahe...humari nishani...humara ye baccha missal banega...jeeyega....tum chinta mt kro...jb ye bada ho jayega na...mai isse sb bataungi tumhare bare me..

Bani broke down again but then wiped her tears. She resolved to live on for her child and sent prayers for Veer's well-being and left.

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

Veer struggled with his thoughts. Why was he so affected by a maid's emotions and kya karaya Rani ne and us beechari Bani pr baras pada! He couldn't fathom anything when it came to her but he had met both Bani and Rani at the farmhouse, in fact they were in the same room as well! Bani had no hand in what Rani did! He shouldn't have shouted at her.

He reached his home to find it in a haphazard state. Meera was crying on Tapish's shoulder and while the rest of the Singhanias looked least bothered, Balwant actually looked quite sad. Veer was about to ask when Tapish signalled him to leave. Veer felt that Tapish looked at him with annoyance but shrugged off the weird feeling. He looked around to see that the servant was missing. He felt empty but left to his room.

Veer opened his room and opened his cupboard. He picked up a shirt when a ring fell. He bent to pick it when certain images started to flash before his eyes.

Aisa krke mujhe aisa lg raha ki tum ab meri ho...mera adha ang...ardhangini...

Ab hua na mai tumhara...poora haq se

Veer kept the ring back and went to sleep. Confused!

The next day, He woke up a lot of shouting. Meera entered his room, banging the doors open and threw something at his face.

T: Ye kya kr rahi ho tum?

M: Mai kya kr rahi hoon? Tumare bhai ne meri behen ka poora jeevan tahas nahas kr diya aur tum pooch rahe ho mai kya kr rahi hoon?

T: Meera...uski...

M: Sbki galti hai...hume aur zor dena chahiye tha...aur koshish krni chahiye thi....ye daksh ponky ko apna ganda mu band rakhna chahiye tha aur daddy ji ko bhi kuch bolna chahiye tha!

Daksh and Ponky entered. They looked worried. They had never seen Meera say more than a few words, let alone raise her pitch like this.

M: Bani to tumse pyaar nahi krti thi na...kyu aye uske peeche...kyu usse pyaar ka ehsas dilaya....ab jb usse pyaar hua to kabhi chandni kbhi vo mohini, mandakini whatever!....how dare you break her...bada gharwali gharwali krte they na...ab kya hua...kahan gaya vo pyaar....akesh ne nageshwari ko paa liya...ye kahan tha na tumne...

The moment Meera said Akesh, something triggered. Veer held his head as past memories struggled to resurface. He looked down and saw what Meera had thrown at him. Pictures! They were pictures of Vani. Navratri pictures, the one at Poyuri's engagement and many others. Veer's eyes widened. Bani wasn't lying. What if he had forgotten his...his wife?

Meera continued to rant as her eyes landed on the ring kept on the table. She went on to pick it when her dupatta got stuck at the side table and it flung open. She immediately saw Bani's jhumka and picked it up as well. She threw both of them at Veer.

M: Kyu? Uski ring kyu li tumne usse...aur ye jhumka? Ye to pooch kr bhi liya na shyd...wrna mujhe bata deti Bani...Vo blast wale din khoya tha...ye wahi hai..

Veer's mind started to recall a blast the moment Meera mentioned this.

M: She saved your life! Not once but twice...actually even more than that...She gave up on so much for you. She opened up for you...beechari kuch dino se itna beemar ho gayi stress le lekr but tumhari fikr rkna nahi choda....mai poochti hoon...kahan hai meri behen? Kya kahan tumne usse?

Meera fell down crying and held onto Tapish for support. Veer clenched his head as memories began resurfacing.

V: (in mind) screw it!

He wore the ring, something he avoided as whenever he touched this ring, he felt odd. The moment he wore them. His memories became more vibrant and flashes became rapid. He lost consciousness as this drained a lot from him when his memories broke free from the barriers in his mind and flew in.

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

Jai was searching everywhere for adi naagin but it was like she had disappeared from the face of this earth. The kal dasha won't stay long and if he missed his time then the stars might not be in his favour for his next moves.

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

Veer woke up with a gasp. His head hurt but the pain was nothing that he felt in his heart. Every memory flooded in and he drowned in guilt.

V: Gharwali...mai tumhare sath aise kaise kr skta hoon? Tumhe itna hurt kiya maine...khud se ghin aa rahi hai...

He rushed downstairs to meet her but didn't see her. Meera was sitting at the table but left as soon as he came. Tapish left after her. Veer looked around the entire house but he could not spot her.

D: Kya hua bhai?

P: Kisse dund rahe ho...?

Veer looked at them and caught both of them by their necks.

V: Meri halat ka sbse zyada faida tum dono ne uthaya hai....mujhe Bani ke khilaf krke...kya kaha tha...stalker? naukrani?....dua kro mujhe vo mil jaye wrna tum dono ki mai vo halat karunga ki khud ko dekhne se bhi daroge.

Meera came back with Tapish and sat at the table.

V: Meera?

M: Tapish ke kehne se ayi hoon lekin tumse baat krne me mujhe koi interest nahi hai...

V: Bhai?

T: Isse force mt kr..

M: And jo kl hua vo age se nahi hoga...my emotions got better of me but I am not sorry, you deserved it.

V: I don't regret it either Meera. I remember everything!

Everyone eyes widened. Meera became teary again.

V: Isliye, please bata do Bani kahan hai?

M: Mujhe nahi pata (sobs)

V: Kya (he felt broken)

Tapish told him what he remembers. Jai telling her to give up and Bani leaving.

V: Mai sure hoon Bani Jai ke pass to nahi gayi hogi lekin uspr bharosa galat hai...uski jaan ko khatra hai us adi nag ke sath...

He was worried and left towards the naag mandir.

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

Veer reached the mandir and yelled Bani's name. He even called for the panditayan and sapera baba, none turned up. He took his cheel roop and began flying and circling around the city but he couldn't spot Bani. Sad, he landed back near the nag mandir.

V: Hey bholenath! Mai naag to nahi hoon...pr ek naagin ka sathi hoon...apne meri biwi ki humesha madad ki hai...aaj mai apse sache mn se kuch mangna chahta hoon...meri pukar sun lijiye.

He went away and came back with two giant diyas. He lit them both and kept them on his palm.

V: Bani ne bataya tha mujhe is vidhi ke baare me...mai mandir me to nahi jaa skta aur na mujhe tandav ata hai pr yahi se mai ye to kr skta hoon....apkni na sahi...apke mandir ki parikrama kr skta hoon.

All the nearby nags, cheels and many creatures looked amazed as they saw a cheel, on his knees, with two lit diyas was circling the entire nag mandir. His knees gave up and started to bleed and his hand started to quiver but he continued. He thought about his Bani. His love who had to go through so much because of him. The news spread like wildfire. The Singhanias reached the spot as well and were shocked to witness Veer's love. Meera's heart swelled, ready to forgive but the news of Bani's disappearance still left a bitter taste in her mouth.

As Veer completed the final parikrama and sat with his hand folded, tears flowing through his eyes, Bholenath could not help but come to his aid. He blessed Veer and all his wounds healed. Veer stood up and the light disappeared.

V: Kahan gaye aap? Meri Bani?

Suddenly Veer's phone rang.

Tapish picked it up from the jacket pocket which was kept near the tree and handed it to Veer.

V: Abhi in sbka time nahi hai..

Tapish sighed and picked the phone hiself.

T: Hello, ji...I am his brother......Bani!!!

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

Triple update today!!

I love you all so much and I know we have all been upset about so many things. So I thought of updating a chapter in each of my book.

This is a track centered around Vani. I have also updated Vanilicous Christmas. It is an 18+ story full of love and romance. The story which I usually update on Wednesdays Vani: Against All Odds in also updated. That story is centered more around action, adventure and fighting enemies.
