Hey, sweethearts 💜 I'm really sorry as many of you asked me to update it yesterday itself but I couldn't do it. Hope you guys will like this update 🙈

The continuation of previous part :
Bani wasn't aware of a pair of eyes that had been watching her at her apartment. She didn't pay much attention to it as she was lost in her own thoughts. She came back to her room in disappointment as she expected Veer to be the one who pressed the bell. She was laying on her bed with her eyes closed but she wasn't asleep. She was drowning in her own thoughts about her husband and his weird behaviour.

Bani's mind voice : Where are you, Veeranshu? What's wrong with you? How are you staying there without me since the past 5 days? You didn't even try to contact us to ask about me and your baby. You really don't care about us right? Was that all fake? Was tha....(She stopped when she came back to her sense and quickly opened her eyes as she felt a movement beside her)

Bani could feel a movement beside her but she wasn't able to see what was it. She could sense something there like someone else's presence near her because she's Aadi Naagin, therefore, losing her powers can never stop her from feeling the presence of negative vibes around her. She thought for some time then decided to ignore it as she was not in the state to investigate about her doubts. She got up from the bed and went to the kitchen to get some water to drink. Even there also she felt a movement beside her and again she refused to pay attention to it. She then went to the living area and sat on the couch with her mobile in her hand. She was trying to call Veer but the outcome was still the same as he switched off his phone again. She threw the phone beside her on the couch frustratedly. She rested her head against the couch and closed her eyes but the very next moment she felt uncomfortable as if someone was ogling at her. She opened her eyes and checked her surroundings but couldn't get into a conclusion. At the same time, she was one hundred percent sure that there's an invisible creature beside her. She finally decided to find out about it.

Bani : I know there is someone here with me. (She said, waiting for the response)
Bani : I'm asking you now. Show me yourself before I find out on my own! (She continued)
Bani : I said come in front of me. I know you are here. I need to know who you are! (She said fiercely)
Bani : Better show me your real form before I transform into my naag roop! (She warned in an authoritative tone, without revealing her secret about losing powers to the invisible creature)
That invisible creature showed his real form which made her eyes pop out in shock.
Bani : You???? (She uttered with utmost fear)
That person : Sweeeeetheart, yes it's me. You never expect me to be back right? (He asked, laughing evilly)
Bani : Shakura?? (She asked shockingly)
Shakura : Ufff I was longing to hear my name from your mouth.
Bani : Shut up! How did you get to know about me? Who told you that I'm here? How did you reach until here? (She asked, panicking herself)
Shakura : Uffff relax sweetheart. I told you right that day that I will be back for you soon. Don't you remember? (He chuckled)
Bani got a glimpse of past where Veer killed Shakura when he tried to marry her.
Bani : Shut up! Don't ever call me sweetheart from your filthy mouth! (She warned, pointing her index finger to him)
Shakura : Do you expect me to listen to your warning? (He laughed evilly again)
Bani : You know who I am! I'm the Sarvashresth Aadi Naagin. Don't you dare to cross my path again!
Shakura : Do you know who am I? Shakura! I guess it's time for you to recall how did I kidnap you to my place, at the sky. (He snapped back)
Bani : I won't let you to repeat that mistake of yours again!
Shakura : Ufff sweetheart, calm down. Why are you overreacting now? Anyway, I heard that you are not with your, umm that cheel husband anymore. So I guess I will get the chance again. (He smirked)
Bani : Stop your bullshit! How did you find out this place?
Shakura : Surprise, sweeeeetheart. (He chuckled)
Bani : Get lost before I transform into my real form and chop off your head from your body! (She warned fiercely)
(P.S. Shakura didn't know that Bani had lost her powers so she tried to maintain her fierce side with him)
Shakura : Sweetheart, since when you started chopping off heads instead of spiting your venom out? (He laughed out loud)
Bani : Stop cracking your stupid jokes and tell me why are you here? What do you want now?
Shakura : You know well what I want. I WANT YOU, Aadi Naagin. (He said, emphasising the word 'I want you')
Bani was fuming with rage as soon as she heard him saying what he wanted. At the same time, she feared him as she didn't have her powers and would need more strength to defeat him but she was not mentally and physically strong at that time and moreover she didn't want to risk her life and her baby's life by fighting with him. She then decided to play smart with him so she tried to distract him and get the phone that she threw few minutes ago on the couch.

Bani tried as much as possible ways to distract him but it all went in vain as he kept focusing on her movement only. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door bell again. She stared at the door and at him and she repeated it. He was laughing like a maniac thinking that she wouldn't go to the door but to his bad luck, she did. She quickly ran to the door and unlocked it thinking it might be either Mithra or Arjun but to her surprise, it was her Veeranshu there. Bani's eyes popped out looking at him there unexpectedly. She ran to him and hugged him tightly expecting him to console her but he was standing still there without reciprocating her hug. After few seconds she broke the hug and looked at him but his eyes were gazing at somewhere else. She knew where it was as it was at the direction where Shakura was standing. Veer was glaring at Shakura while that monster was smirking at him. Bani was about to talk but Veer beat her to it.

Veer : Wow!!!! (He clapped his hands) So this is what you were doing in my absence?
Bani was looking at him confusedly.
Veer : Amazing, Bani! Really amazing! I thought you would be worrying about me but you proved me wrong again. You were enjoying with a man here, right? Was he the only one for today or you have more in your list?
Bani got the shock of her life listening to Veer's allegation on her. Of course, that was not the first time for her to hear this kind of cheap words from Veer as he already did that 4 months ago but this time it really ripped out her heart as she thought he would save her from that monster instead of judging her purity again.
Bani : Vee...Veeranshu??? (She stuttered while tears rolled down her cheeks)
Veer : Stop shedding your crocodile tears, Bani! (He shouted in his dangerous tone)
Veer to Shakura : Hey, you! Who the hell are you and what the heck are you doing here with her?
Shakura : Actually bro, Bani invited me saying she's alone at home so she wanted me to accompany her. (He blamed her heartlessly)
Bani passed a death glare at Shakura's direction while Veer was glaring at her.
Veer : Why are you glaring at him? Just because he spilled out the truth?
Bani : Veeranshu, please don't come to the conclusion before knowing the truth. You are repeating the same mistake again.
Veer : Yes, of course I'm repeating the same mistake again. I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place, Bani Sharma!
Shakura : Bro, just chill. Why are you overreacting now? Okay, I will go now and come back tomorrow. Today is your day so enjoy it well. (He said, adding fuel to the fire)
Veer : Bloody scoundrel! Get lost right now! (He grabbed his collar and pushed him away)
Bani : Veeranshu, please don't believe him. You don't remember him that's why he is taking advantage of the situation. In fact, you killed him last time with....(She was cut by Veer)
Veer : What did you just say? I killed him last time? Come back to your sense, Bani! I caught you red-handed and still you are crapping this shit to me? If I killed him last time then who is the guy standing there? (He snapped back the question)
Bani : Veeranshu, please liste.... (She tried to explain but again he interrupted)
Veer : I don't need anymore explanations from you, Ms Bani Sharma. I'm going to ask you one thing now. Just tell yes or no only! Got it?
Bani : Veeranshu, please?
Veer : I said just answer me yes or no only! (He yelled)
Bani nodded agreeing.
Veer : Did you try to kill my Teer Bhai?
Bani was dumbfounded as soon as his question registered in her mind. She didn't expect that question from him, especially when he didn't remember the past.
Veer : I asked you something, Bani! (He reminded, grabbing her right arm tightly)
Bani : Veer, I didn...(She stopped when he glared at her dangerously)
Veer : Just tell me yes or no, Bani.
Bani : Veer, please listen to me.
Veer : Don't test my patience now otherwise you will see the cruel side of mine, Bani! Just tell yes or no! Did you try to kill my Teer Bhai? (He tightened his grip on her arm making her hiss in pain)
Bani : Yes I did but I d.... (He cut her in between)
Veer : That's it!!! You know how much he meant to me? How dare you to kill my Teer Bhai? What did he do to you? He was mentally ill, Bani! How did you kill him? (He asked, shaking her shoulders angrily)

Bani was so broken and she wasn't able to answer him because he was not in the condition to listen to her calmly. He was fuming with rage and Bani could see his eyes portraying pure hatred towards her. She was about to speak but stopped when she heard a familiar voice from the main door.
That voice : Veer baby! See now, when I was telling you, you didn't trust me but now your so-called wife revealed the truth by herself. She was the one who killed your Teer bhai.
Bani : Mayuri???? (She uttered her name shockingly)
Mayuri : Wow! I'm glad you still remember me, Aadi Naagin. (She smirked)
Bani's mind voice : Hey Bholenath, what's going on here? How come suddenly Shakura and Mayuri are back? Veer killed Shakura in front of my eyes and I killed Mayuri with my own poison but then how are they still alive now? I'm pretty sure this witch influenced Veer by digging out the old stories. But how did Veer meet her? How did she find out about us? (She placed her palm on her head thinking the whole scene)
Veer : You were right, Mayuri. I shouldn't have believed her. I did a huge mistake by trusting this woman again.
Bani : Veeranshu, all of them are trying to fool you. Please don't fall into their trap.
Veer : Just shut up, Bani!!! (He shouted) They are not fooling me but you are the one fooling me from the beginning.
Mayuri : Veer baby, please stop arguing with her. It's a total waste of your energy. You don't need to stoop low to reach her level. (She was provoking Bani)
Bani : Hey, Morni!! Just stop your drama now or else I will kill you right now! (She warned, grabbing her neck)
Mayuri : Ahhhh....ahhhh leave me...aahhhh...Veer...save me...ahhhh. (She was struggling to release herself from Bani's tight grip around her neck)
Veer : Leave her, Bani! (He pulled away Bani from hurting Mayuri)
Bani : Veeranshu, they all are trying to trap you again. They are plotting against me just to trap you. Trust me, I'm pretty sure there is a huge conspiracy behind them.
Veer : Shut up, Bani. Just shut up!!! I'm so done with you and your lies. Don't try to fool me again!
(P.S. Shakura was not there anymore. He disappeared when Veer and Bani were busy fighting there)

Bani was about to speak but paused when she heard Mithra and Arjun's voice from outside. Mithra and Arjun came there looking suspiciously at Mayuri but then they expressed a happy emotion looking at Veer. They thought Veer had come back to his wife but soon their happiness faded away when they realised Veer was glaring at Bani.
Mithra : Jiju, you are finally back. Where were you all these days?
Arjun : Welcome back, Sir.
Veer just ignored them and kept staring at Bani while she was standing there with tears in her eyes and this was not gone unnoticed by Mithra and Arjun.
Mithra to Veer : Jiju, is everything alright?
Mithra to Bani : Sweetie, why are you crying? He is back now right then why are you still crying?
Mayuri : Ufff, Veer baby! What's this nonsense? Who are these 2 jokers? (She asked while showing her signature attitude towards them)
Mithra : What did you just call him? Veer baby? Hey who the hell are you to call my jiju as baby?
Veer : Mithra, enough! Just keep quiet and go inside. I need to talk to Bani. (He said while trying to maintain his calmness)
Arjun : But Sir.. (He stopped when Veer passed him a death glare)
Veer : I asked both of you to go inside right now! (He shouted)
Mithra : Jiju, why are you behaving like this? You have never shown this kind of cold behaviour towards us. What happened to you and who is this witch?
Mayuri : Hey, mind your words!
Bani : Arjun and Mithra can you both please go and wait at Arjun's apartment for a while. I will call you later. (Bani said while wiping her tears)
Mithra : But sweetie this is not right. There is something wrong here. Why are you crying and why is jiju behaving like this?
Mayuri : Oh God! I just can't handle anymore of their sentiment drama. Veer baby, please get them out right now. (She ordered him)
Mithra : Hey, you stupid lady! Who the hell are you to ask me to get out? You are standing in my bloody apartment so better get lost before I push you away! (She warned)
Veer : Mithra! I said enough! We need some privacy so either go inside your room or go to Arjun's apartment as she said.
Bani : Veeranshu, stop it! You don't have any rights to shout at them.
Veer : Oh okay, Madam. (He replied sarcastically)
Arjun and Mithra were still standing there wondering what's going on.
Mayuri : Veer baby, just end this drama right now. I'm getting bored looking at these stupid faces! (She said, showing a disgusted face)
Veer : Mayuri, give me that. (He asked, forwarding his hand)

Bani, Mithra and Arjun were puzzled as they were unaware of what Veer asked until Mayuri took out a document from her handbag and passed it to Veer.
Veer : Bani, sign this papers right now! (He ordered, forwarding the document to her)
Bani : What is this?
Veer : Divorce notice. I'm not going to live with you anymore! (He said looking at the other direction to avoid meeting her eyes)
Bani was shattered hearing him while her friends' eyes popped out in shock. Bani was not able to balance herself anymore and stumbled due to the shock he gave. Mithra and Arjun shouted her name as soon as they saw Bani stumbling and they immediately held her tightly preventing her from falling down.
Veer : Bani!!! (He screamed, getting panicked to see her loosing her balance)
(P.S. I know guys Veer was showing cold behaviour towards her all this while but still at somewhere in his heart he still had a little bit of concern for her)

Bani showed her palm to Veer asking him to stop at where he was.
Bani : You don't have to worry about me, Mr Veeranshu Singhania. Well, it seems like you had plan everything earlier and came here with an idea of provoking me to sign on the divorce notice. (She took a deep breath to calm herself) Alright then, I will make your wish come true. (Saying this, she gave him a pained expression and instantly snatched the divorce papers from him to sign it)
Mithra : Sweetie, no!!! Please don't do this. (She cried, stopping Bani)
Arjun : Bani, please think once again before signing it.
Bani ignored both of them and quickly signed the documents and threw it on Veer's face.
Bani : You have got what you asked for. You may leave now, Mr Veeranshu. (She said exasperatedly)
Veer was standing still at his place being completely dumbstruck of Bani's bold movement.
Mayuri : Thank God, I thought you would create another scene here and make it impossible for us to get your sign but now I guess you have started using your brains. (She humiliated Bani)
Mithra : Jiju, why did you do this to her? Why are you hurting her all the time? (Mithra asked while crying)
Bani : No, Mithra please don't cry. We don't have to waste our tears for them anymore. Just be glad that God showed us the true colours of him earlier. (She said while trying to hide her emotions and showing them she was strong enough to snap back)
Arjun : Bani, are you alright? (He asked, seeing the visible pain in her eyes)
Bani : Yes I'm absolutely alright, Arjun. (She faked a smile)
Bani to Veer : Why are you still standing here? Do you still have anything left to humiliate me? If yes, please go ahead with it right now and finish it all at once. I'm not going to see your face again in my life, Mr Veeranshu Singhania!
Veer was looking at Bani with so many unspoken emotions in his eyes while Mayuri was smirking as her plan succeeded.
