Veer flew Bani to his house and they entered his room through the window. Bani saw his room with wide eyes.

B: Wow! You really love black, don't you?

Veer blushed. Bani giggled and pulled his cheeks.

B: Tu kitna sharmate ho..Sharma mai hoon ya tum? Waise tumhara poora name kya hai?

V: Veeranshu Singhania..

B: Okay...ab tum mujhe batao apne baare me sb..tum cheel kaise?

V: I was born like this...vo mai koi aisa waise cheel nahi hoon...mai cheel prince hoon ...

Veer said proudly and Bani was surprised to know Veer was royalty. Veer told her everything about himself and showed her pictures of his family. He took her through his box of toys and accidently another box fell out.

B: Ye kya hai?

V: Kya?..Kuch nahi..

B: Tum phir lal tomato ho gaye...dikhao...

Bani snatched the box and Veer grabbed it too. In their snatching the box fell open. Hundreds and thousands of letters fell out of it.

B: Ye!! Kya hai? Wow tumne sb sambhal kr rakhe hai?...itne saare..

V: 2150

B: kya?

V: 2150 letters hai usme..

B: wow...(gets emotional) mai saare sambhale kyunki mujhe laga mere papa likh rahe hai pr tumne bhi sambhal ke rakhe...you are so nice Veeru..

Veer gets shy. He packs the letters in the box again looking down. Bani laughed at his expressions. Later, Veer sneaked some food into his room. The two friends ate cookies and sat near the window.

They spoke for a while before Veer flew her back to her home.

A month later, Bani met his family on his birthday. She bought him a cheel broach in silver-black color. Veer was very happy. He wore it immediately.

V: Dad, ye Bani hai...meri friend..

Ba: Hello beta...enjoy..

Balwant and Pawan laughed at how Veer kept fussing around Bani, ignoring his other friends and cousins. He didn't let have anyone her attention and his own focus was only on her.

Pa: (to ballu) Apke bete ke cheeks dekho, cheel hai ya tamatar? Keh raha hoon, yahi hai apki bahu..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Years flew by, what inspired was a pure and true friendship. Vani often started to meet, almost daily. Veer would come and pick her up after school. Bani would stay with Veer in the woods were he practised his flight and showed Bani tricks.

Bani would read him stories.

They would tell each other about everything and had complete trust.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At age, nineteen Veer entered his college. It was his second year. He was wearing a grey t-shirt and a black jacket over it. A cheel broach was tucked on his jacket. He went near the entrance. Many saw him and girls were gushing over him but his eyes were darting through the crowd. Settling on none. Suddenly he could not see anymore.

Soft hands covered his eyes.

V: Bani..

B: Tumhe kaise pata chal jaata hai cheelu? Not fair!!

V: I will always know your touch sweetheart..

B: Ye nickname publically mt bola kro...sbko lagega mai tumhari gf hoon, aur phir ladkiyan tumpr line nahi marengi....

V: Sach sach bollo...tumhe asli dar to iss baat ka hai ki kahin tumhe koi approach nahi karega ye sochkr ki mai tumha bf hoon..

B: Usse mujhe kya mtlb? Jb mujhe koi pasand ayega to mai hi usse approach kr lungi..

She pulled his cheeks and hand-in-hand the two friends went to their first class.

B: Wow!! Veeru,....apne bff ke saath college attend krne ka maza hi kuch aur hai...

Vani were practically inseparable in their teen years but now as they were about to step into their adulthood, this college experience made them even closer. They spent most of their waking hours together and hung out post college.

No surprises both of them hardly had any friends as they rarely entertained anyone else. Also, Bani did not like when another girl got too friendly with Veer. Similarly Veer hated it when other boys approached Bani so they stuck to each other and hardly made any friends.

In Bani's final year, Veer still kept dropping her to college. They met often. One day, he did not come to pick her up for college and did not pick up Bani's phone either. A worried Bani rushed Veer's home. There was no one home. she asked the guard where everyone was.

G: Pata nahi beta. Sahab ko koi phone aya aur poori family chali gayi..

Bani got worried. She kept trying his number.

~~~~~~~~~~

A week went by, everyday Bani called Veer multiple times and regularly visited his home. Today was different, she saw the gates were open. She rushed in.

B: Veeranshu Singhania!!!!!!!

She shouted. Balwant saw her and came out. Over the years, they had bonded well and he saw Bani as his own daughter.

Ba: Kya hua beta?

B: Apka beta kahan hai? Vo cheelu...

V: Hi sweetheart..

Bani rushed to him and grabbed his neck.

B: Na call an message, aise kaise gayab ho skte ho tum ..you

She smacked his chest.

V: OUCH!!

B: Kya hua? ...tum thik ho

Ba: beta usse chot lgi hai pr vo thik hai..

B: chot!! Kaise? Aur tum toh heal kr skte ho na..

Ba: Haan pr vo ek khass hathiyaar se maara tha isliye..

B: Hua kyat ha Veeru..

V: Vo tumhe toh pata hai ki humari baaki kingdoms se alliance hai. Nag realm me moron ne humla kr diya tha aur nagon ke poison ka unpr koi asar nahi hota so they asked for help and we left immediately. We won the war bs ye choti si chot lg gayi...thik ho jayegi..aye tum ro kyu rahi hoon..

B: Kuch nahi....(she hugs and starts crying) tumhe kuch ho jata toh? Tum mujhe chodkr kabhi mt jaana..

V: Promise sweetheart..

That night Bani also realized her feelings. The next day, she took Veer for a drive and parked near a beach.

B: Khulli hawa me accha lagega tumhe..

V: Sach me..thanks sweetheart...

Veer turned to face her but saw she was on one knee.

V: BANI!

B: shh...Remember I said jb mujhe koi pasand ayega toh mai uske samjhne ka wait nahi karungi..Mujhe tum pasand ho Veer. Ek dost se kahi zyada...I- I love you Veer...I am in love with you. I know I am human but will you take me as yours..

Veer was overwhelmed and got on his knees in front of her too. He hugged her close.

V: In my head and heart, you were always mine.

Bani smiled sweetly. Veer kissed her forehead and she pecked his nose.

B: You know what this means....Ab agar kissi ladki ne tumhari taraf dekha na toh mera poora haq hai uski dhulai krne ka..

V: Haan haan, jaise isse pehle tumne kabhi kissi ladki ko dhamkaya nahi na?..

B: Chup raho.. (blushes) tum bhi toh ladko ko mujhe door rakhte they..

V: Well, we are both are hell possessive...

B: Damn right!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vani told their parents about their relationship after Bani's graduation.

BM: Finally!! Mujhe laga tum dono kabhi realize hi nahi karoge...aur ye Veer to kitna shy sa hai....pakka is ladki ne hi propose kr diya hoga..

Veer blushed.

BM: SACH ME??!! Bilkul mujhepr gayi hai..

B: Kya?

BM: K-K-Kuch nahi..hehe..I am so happy for you both.

She blessed them. Balwant and Pawan were also very happy.

Pa: Maine to bohot pehle hi keh diya tha, bahu toh apki yahi banegi..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vani dated for a few more years. Veer had immediately joined his princely duties as a Cheel and his dad's business after college. Bani went on to do her masters and became a designer. She started her own interiors firm called 'Vani Interiors'.

They got married soon and started their new phase of life. They were the perfect partners and truly completed each other. They were their best friends and lovers. An year they welcomed their son- Riyanshu meaning ray of light. They fought and teased, played and loved. They lived a life, happily ever after.

I had fun thinking like young kids. I hope you had fun reading.

The ones crossed out are the tracks which I don't want to write right now. But I am also draft-less. So from now on, I will take the majority suggestion and start writing a new track after one ends. It might cause a little delay as I will wait a day to see majority choice but please bear with it.
