For, _shrutirekha_

This OS contains Shivika and Vani. We all know Vani- Veer and Bani. But, for those who might now know; Shivika is Shivaay and Anika- another famous ITV couple from a show called Ishqbaaz. SC played the roles of both- Bani and Anika.

In this story, these look alike wives of two business man- Shivaay and Veeranshu, who is also a cheel, are shown together.

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

Veeranshu Singhania and Shivaay Singh Oberoi were rushing to the hospital. Their wives we in there. What had happened a while ago was that a famous temple had caught fire. Both Bani and Anika were in the fire. Anika had fainted due to inhaling a lot of smoke and had hit her head when she fell on the floor. Bani had also fainted due to the smoke. Both these woman were rushed to the nearby hospital along with other survivors.

Both men were extremely tensed due to their wives and were tapping their feet, rather impatiently at the reception.

S: Oh for god sake! Koi hai yahan? Hello? Meri wife hai yahan...

V: sb ke sb pata nahi kahan hai? What a useless hospital...

A nurse was passing by, they stopped her to ask.

S/V: Ma'am my wife is here.

N: Who is the husband?

S/V: Me

They both look at each other.

S: Ma'am meri biwi vo mandir wali fire thi...

V: Meri bhi thi...aap reception pr bhejo kissi ko...

N: Sir, ye chota sa hospital hai. Mandir ke chakkr me bohot rush ho gaya hai...sb busy hai..aap wait karo, koi na koi aa jayega.

She left.

S: What kind of service is this?

V: Meri Sweetheart! Kisse puchun?

Both rushed towards the wards, checking different rooms, when they entered a general ward. It was a rather large room and all patients were kept together. Wherever  possible, they even made patients share the bed. Veer's sharp cheel eyes spotted Bani at the end of the hall and rushed there. Shivaay left the ward and entered another. He also found Anika.

V: (thinks) thank god you are fine gharwali. Is hospital me koi facility nahi hai pr ek tarah se accha bhi hai, tumhare test ho jate to problem hoti. I will have to sneak you out. Aur ye sir pr chot? (looks around and keeps a hand on it. He heals it and sneaks away with 'Bani')

S: Anika!? Oh God!

Looks at her, unattended and fainted.

S: (thinks) Shivaay Singh Oberoi ki wife ko aisa yahan rehne ki zarurat nahi hai...I will get the best damn doctors for you.

He picks her up and rushes to his car. Both man had put their wives in the backseat of the car and closed it. They dialled someone on their phones and turned. They looked at each other strangely as they somehow mirrored each other and continued talking.

S: Hello khanna? I am bringing Anika home. Get the best doctors ready and have them home.

V: Meera tension mt lo, Bani ko la raha hoon Ghar...

They ended the call.

S: your wife was in that fire?

V: yes..yours too?

S: yes, is she fine?

V: Yes but the hospital is terrible at handling this rush so I got her out.

S: Same.

They bid each other goodbye and left with their wives.

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

Bani groaned and woke up. She was in the arms of a strange man who was carrying her in his arms in a rather large house.

B: Excuse me?

S: Thank god tumhe hosh aa gaya? Are you fine?

B: Please relax. Mai thik hoon...mujhe neeche utaro.

S: Tum chup raho bilkul. Kya zarurat thi mandir jaane ki akele...kissi ko le jaati na saath...

B: ( thinks: ye kon hai jo ek stranger ke liye itna dukhi ho raha hai) Bhaiya aap neeche utaro mujhe...

Elders of Shivaay's house were away to attend a relatives wedding and Rudra and Bhavya were on a trip. Only one's home where Omkar and Gauri.

G: Haw...anika bhojayi...aap badebhaiya ko bhaiya kaise bol skti ho...

B: Bhojayi? Kon kiski bhojai?

O: Bhabhi aapko kya hua hai...

B: I am already confused and you mister, mujhe neeche utaro.

She pushes out of her lap and stumbles a little.

S: Sambhal kr...kyu zidd kr rahi ho, chalo doctor wait kr rahe hai room me..

B: Mai thik hoon...thank you for your care but I need to go now..

Shivaay tried to coax Bani to come see the doctor but Bani kept refusing. She was feeling very confused.

S: ANIKA! Bs ab...tum doctor ke pass chal rahi ho and that is final! Dimag ka dahi mt karo...

Omkar and Gauri smirked at Shivaay. Anika's words had rubbed off on him but what came out of the woman's mouth next, shocked them.

B: Kon Anika? And ye kaise language hai?

Shivaay stared at her open mouthed.

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

Tapish and Meera were standing outside the room.

M: Tapish, Bani ko abhi tk hosh kyu nahi aya...usse Veer ne heal kiya phir bhi...vo toh ek naagin hai na?

Before Tapish could respond, they heard a loud noise and rushed in. Their mouths flung open when they saw Bani with a chappal in her hand.

M: Bani? Veer? Ye kya ho raha hai...

T: Bani itne gusse me? Veer kya kaha tune...Bani tum relax karo..

V: Maine kya kaha bhai? Maine bs poocha ki tum thik ho and ye chillane lagi...phir maine relax hone ke kaha toh bolti hai 'aap kon Bhaisaab jo mujhe relax hone ko kehte ho'

A: and phir is cheapde ne kaha 'Poori feeling ki hi maar di sweetheart' (makes a face)..SWEATHEART?!? .....feelings ki hi nahi, tujhe bhi maar padegi...jab chameli se maar maar kr mu suja dungi na, tb pata chalega..

M: Chameli? Ye kya bole jaa rahi hai Bani...

A: Oh Chameli nahi pata apko? Meriiiii chappal...chameli...waise aap kon...iss cheapde ki sister?

M: Bani mai teri behen hoon...

A: Kon Bani?

V: Sweetheart...

Angrily, Anika threw her chappal at Veer. He doged it last minute.

Veer's eyes widened.

V: Uff, meri jungli Billi...

He ran away as Anika bent down to pick up another chappal.

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

B: Mai Bani hoon, Bani Veeranshu Singhania...smjhe Mr. Weird eyes...

S: Weird? Weird eyes nahi hai ye. Tum inhe kanji ankhe kehti ho...

B: Haan haan..thik hai...dekho aap jo koi bhi ho, mere pati bohot pareshaan ho rahe honge..

O: (whispers to Gauri) ye bhabhi ki yaadash chali gayi hai kya?

G: (whispers to O) Vo to nahi pata pr ye baat toh bilkul bhojayi jaise nahi kr rahi hai..

Bani was thinking why is trapped with these fools who are forcing her to think she is someone else. She smelled and realized they were humans. Great! Now I cannot even slither away...wait..I know what I should do..

B: Mujhe washroom jaana hai...

S: Haan...udhr chalo..

B: Tum mere saath kyu aa rahe ho?

S: Sirf bahar tk...chalo..

He guided Bani to washroom and waited outside.

S: Mai bahar hi hoon...no funny business okay..

Bani rolled her eyes and went in. She turned into a very small snake and left through the vent.

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

Anika was creating a ruckus. It was like a mad house. She was acting like Ponky and Daksh. She also kept repeating that she wasn't Bani and that she wanted to home.

A: O..(whistles) ..haan aap...kali jacket wale bhaiya! Arey aap...aap nahi (to Daksh)...vo aise chain lagi jacket wale...

V: I am not your Bhai!

A: okay...phir ...uncle ji!

J: hahaha...sahi kaha Bani..

A: (looks at him) and aap kon? Beech me tapakne wale barsati mendak!?

J: What? Mai Jai hoon Bani...

A: Ye Bani kon hai? I am Anika okay...

Shukla: Jai, tumhare restaurant se phone aa raha hai landline pr...

Balwant: permanent dakka daal diya hai mere ghar pr...ab iske phone bhi aate hai..

Jai left rolling his eyes.

A: dekhiye, dadi wale bhaiya...sorry ..uncle ji...Mere SSO ko pata chala na mai yahan hoon to khidki tor ke mujhe le jayenge...kyu bekaaar me sheeshon ka bill badha rahe ho apna?

V: BANI...gussa mt dilao..ab kon hai h ye SSO? You are mine!!

B: Veeranshu?!?!

The entire family looked shocked and surprised. Bani was standing at the entrance while Anika stood shocked as well. They all gapped between the two girl who were too shocked themselves.

A: O bete ki!

B: Ye kon hai? (smells that she is human)

V: Do do gharwali?!

Bani smacks his head.

B: I am your gharwali, okay!...tum...mtlb tum ussi ajeeb ankho wale ki Biwi ho shyd...jo mujhe Anika bulla raha tha..

A: Oh...toh aap SSO se milli!

B: Haan...hey, bholenath! Veer please call her husband. He must be so tensed.

Veer called SSO and told him that his wife was at his home and waiting for him. He ratted off the address. Jai came there.

J: Do do Bani?

B: bewakoofon jaise baat mt karo..

A: arey rest-o-rent wale bhaiya...aap bawarchi ho na...aloo poori bana do..bhook lagi hai..

All laugh.

V: Dhabewale! Bani na sahi, lekin Bani ki humshakal tujhe barabar pehechanti hai..

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

A: To tumhare parents bachpan me guzar gaye they?

B: Haan..

A: Tumhari koi judwa behen nahi thi?

B: Pakka Anika...I remember I was the only child.

A: Oh...waise mai humesha se anaath ashram me thi. Maybe hum dono one buy one get free ke offer ki tarah paida ho gayi aur phir humare parents ne mujhe chor diya...?

B: Anika, I am sure we aren't siblings. (ab isse kaise bolu ki meri behen hoti to naagin hoti)

A: pakka....hmm...sahi hai..bada ajeeb hai waise...same copy paste shakal...bhagwaan ko bhi mehnat nahi krni thi...

B: hahaha....tum sweet ho bohot...sagi behene nahi hai to kya hua...aaj se tum mere liye meri sister jaise hi ho...

Both hug, feeling emotional.

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

Later SSO came to pick Anika and was too shocked to see Bani. Both the females told their version of what had happened and the men figured out the actual thing. Their wives had gotten exchanged! They both apologized.

B: aap dono sorry kyu bol rahe ho? Ek tarah se accha hua...hum ek doosre se mille to sahi...

They chatted for a while. SSO and Anika left after dinner.

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

B: Veer?

No response

B: Veeranshu?

No response

B: Sweetheart?

V: Gharwali...

B: Chodoge mujhe...kbse aise hug krke rakha hai..

V: You don't understand. Aaj pehle tum aag me phass gayi...mai kitna tension me aa gaya..phir us hospital se ghar laya to aise behave kr rahi thi...aur to aur mujhe bhaiya bolla...

B: vo mai nahi thi Veer...

V: Still, I didn't know that tb na..

Bani hugged him back, consoling him but then smacked him.

B: This is for no realizing that she is not me..

She then cupped his face.

B: and this is because you were so tensed today because of me.

And she planted a sweet kiss on his forehead.
