Hey, sweethearts ❤️ I'm back with a new update today.

Baby's naming ceremony :
Veer and Bani placed their little champ in a cozy baby cot decorated by Balwant and his sons. All the guests adored the baby as she was sleeping peacefully in the baby cot and Bani wrapped the baby in a beautiful red saree which was offered by Balwant as it was his mother's wedding saree. He wanted to offer it to the first born baby girl of Singhania's family.

The priest reached there and they started the naming ceremony. Veer and Bani held their daughter together and sat near the priest as he was chanting some mantras before naming the baby.
Balwant : Veer and Bani, we can't wait anymore. Please reveal my granddaughter's name.
Veer : Wait, dad. Just few more minutes.
Daksh : Bhabhi, at least tell it to me. I can't wait anymore. I'm too curious to know it.
Bani : Veer, shall we?
Veer : Sure, gharwali. (They stood up, holding the baby together)
Bani : And we are going to reveal it now. Are you all excited? (She asked in a cheerful tone)
Everyone : Yessss!! (They screamed in excitement)
Veer and Bani together : Our Angel's name is...is... V.A.N.I. Vani Singhania!!
Everyone : Vani!!!
Balwant : Wow it's really a sweet name, Veer.
Tapish : I guessed it earlier actually but good choice guys. (He giggled)
Meera : Bani, I knew it earlier. Such a cute name.
Mithra : Sweetie, jiju, it's your couple name right?
Veer and Bani blushed together.
Daksh and Ponky went near the baby and cooed her name in baby voice.
Daksh : Hello, Vani. I'm your first chachu.
Ponky : Vani cutiepie, you are so cute. I'm your favourite chachu but we can be best friends if you prefer. (Baby started crying after listening to Ponky)
Ponky frowned sadly and everyone laughed.
Daksh : Oye, see she doesn't like you. Don't show your face to her.
Veer : Ponky, don't scare my Angel. Stay away from her.
Bani : Veer, don't be so mean. Oh..oh..oh..oh Vani, don't cry. He is your chachu only. You know something? He is like a small baby too so he will be your best friend in future. Stop crying, baby. (She caressed the baby's chest)
The baby stopped crying and Ponky caressed her cheek to which she smiled.
Arjun : Bani, it's a good choice. Hello, Vani.
Balwant : Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you so much for being here with us to celebrate the most precious moment of our lives together today. I'm truly grateful to all of you for accepting our invitation and attending the function today. This is my first grandchild, a treasure to this family given by my son Veeranshu and my daughter Bani. We are proud to announce the name of my granddaughter. It's Vani, Vani Singhania!!!
(All the guests expressed their enthusiasm by cheering and clapping for the baby)

Everyone started carrying the baby and playing with her while Veer and Bani were talking to the guests who were congratulating them. All of them were busily engaged to each other as some were having their drinks, some were dancing on the stage, some were gossiping and the family members were greeting and serving the guests. Veer and Bani got some free time to look at their baby so they excused themselves from the guests and went near the baby cot but the baby was not there and they searched around to see who's carrying the baby but couldn't fine one.
Veer : Gharwali, where is Vani?
Bani : She was here only, Veer. I left her with Meera Di just now.
Veer : Let's go and ask her.
They went towards Meera who was serving the guests some drinks.
Veer : Meera, where is Vani?
Meera : Huh? She is not with me, Veer.
Bani : Meera Di, I gave her to you just few minutes ago.
Meera : Yes Bani, but after that I passed her to Daksh and Ponky.
Veer : Ufff, Bani let's go and ask them.
They went towards Daksh and Ponky who were drinking there with their friends.
Bani : Daksh and Ponky, where is Vani?
Ponky : I don't know, bhabhi. Just now Tapish bhai took her from us.
Now Veer lost his patience.
Veer : What the hell is going on here?
Bani : Veeranshu, just calm down. Let's go and ask Tapish bhai.
They went towards Tapish who was talking with Balwant and his business partners.
Veer : Tapish bhai, where is Vani? Ponky told us that you took her from them.
Tapish : Yes, I took her but dad called me here so I passed her to Mithra there.
Veer : Arghhh not again! (He started losing his cool)
Balwant : Veer, is everything fine?
Veer : I will talk to you later, dad. Chalo, Bani. (He dragged Bani towards Mithra)
Bani : Mithra, did you see Vani?
Mithra : No, sweetie.
Veer : Mithra, please don't play now. Tapish bhai said he passed Vani to you just now.
Mithra : Yes jiju, but after that an old lady came and ask for Vani saying that Bani asked to bring her to introduce to the guests so I just gave her.
Bani : What??? No! I never send any old lady here!
Veer : How can you be so careless, Mithra?! (Veer shouted, grabbing everyone's attention)
Meera : Veer, what happened? Bani?
Bani : Meera Di, Vani is missing. (She started sobbing)
Balwant : What??? It's not possible. She must be here.
Veer : No dad! She is not here. We have asked everybody here! (Veer shouted)
Tapish : Mithra, I gave her to you right the last?
Mithra : Yes but an old lady came and asked for the baby so I passed Vani to her.
Bani : We don't have any old lady at home, Mithra. How can you just pass the baby to a stranger? (She asked while sobbing)
Veer : Shut up, Bani! It's totally your fault. You are the one supposed to look after the baby. (He yelled at her)
Bani started crying even harder and Balwant scolded Veer.
Balwant : Veer, stop blaming her now. It's your responsibility too to look after the baby.
Veer : Arghh!!!! (He roared) I know it's my bloody mistake. I shouldn't have trusted anybody with my baby.
He walked away from there to search for the baby which was followed by everyone else there. Bani was crying miserably but still she started searching for her child. They searched the whole mansion but couldn't find her. Suddenly, Veer and Bani heard their baby's crying sound coming from the terrace whereas the others couldn't hear it. They informed the others and finally went to the terrace and saw an old lady standing there at the edge of the terrace but all they could see was her back only.
Bani : Veer, there is someone standing near the edge.
Veer : Ma'am, can I know who are you? (He asked, slowly walking towards her)
Bani : Are you having my baby with you?
The baby started to cry more and they heard her.
Veer/Bani : Vani?

They quickly rushed towards the old lady but they stopped when she turned to show her face. It was none other than the Markaat and she was holding Vani in her arms.
Veer :  Markaat?
Markaat : Haan, beta. Your mom is back.
Veer : How did you get released from Bholenath's captive?
Bani : What the hell are you doing with my baby? Give her to me!! (She shouted, taking steps towards the Markaat)
Markaat instantly casted a spell which made no one to reach her. She invoked her powers to put a shield between her and the others and also the Singhanias weren't able to transform into their cheel roop as since she's the CheelGod, she could control the cheels with her powers. She started laughing like a witch looking at the cheels struggling to transform into their cheel roop including Veer.
Bani : Veer, you also can't transform into your cheel roop?
Veer : Arghh no Bani, I can't. (He groaned, trying to invoke his powers)
Bani : Markaat!!! Give me back my baby. I swear I will kill you right now if you think about harming my child. (She roared while trying to break the shield)
Markaat : Bahurani, how are you going to save your baby from me today? My grandchild is in my hands now and I will take all her powers today!! (She laughed evilly)
Bani : What the hell are you talking about? She doesn't have any powers with her. Give her to me right now!
Markaat : Bahurani, am I looking like a 5-year-old kid to believe your lie? I know very well that my grandchild has consumed both of your powers itself when she was in your womb.
Veer : Markaat, you will cause no harm to my daughter. Don't ever forget that she is Aadinaagin and Cheelon ka Rajkumar's child! (He warned furiously)
Markaat : Beta, how can you be so rude to your mom? And what did you say? Aadinaagin? Cheelon ka Rajkumar? Hahahahahaha!! Neither she is aadinaagin nor you are a cheel now. Both of you have no powers to stay against me now! (She mocked)
Everyone were shocked as they didn't know about Bani not having any powers with her except some of them. Bani was glaring at Markaat while thinking how could this markaat find out about her sacrificing the powers last time.
Bani : Markaat!!! If you want to cause any harm then cause it to me but not to my baby please! Please give her back to me! (She pleaded by joining her hands)
Markaat : Awww it is so mind-blowing to see the Mighty Aadinaagin, opss sorry, the once upon a time Aadinaagin is begging to me to let go of her newborn child. (She changed her expression into sad one mockingly) I'm so sorry, bahurani. I also feel like want to help you but I won't because I will punish you for confining me in your captive for several months!!
Balwant : Markaat!!! Stop messing with my children's life now! Let go of my grandchild right now! (He roared)
Markaat got triggered and used her power to freeze all of them there except Veer and Bani. None of them were able to move even an inch from there but they were able to watch and hear what was going on there.
Bani : I'm giving you the last warning! Give me back my child right now! (She roared in her fierce tone)
Veer : Please give our child back to us. Don't do anything to her. If you want powers then I will give you mine but please don't hurt my child. (He said while trying to break the magical shield)
Markaat didn't pay heed to any of them and she was laughing in an evil tone there. Bani was losing her patience and second by second, the fierceness was increasing in her.

Markaat held the baby with her palms dangerously and started staring into her eyes to consume her powers. That was it for Bani. She was on the verge of outburst. She immediately closed her eyes and opened back. Her pupils were slitted and they were in red colour. Her scales started appearing on her face and body. She crossed her arms across her chest and transformed into her half serpent form.

Everyone was shocked and frightened to see Bani in this ferocious form while Markaat and Veer were staring at her wondering how was she able to transform into her serpent form suddenly. Without giving much time to Markaat to think further, Bani quickly grabbed Markaat in her tail and brought near to her. She immediately snatched her child from Markaat while tightening the grip around her. Markaat was screaming in pain as Bani started squeezing her more and more tighter. Veer was looking at Bani in surprise and when she turned to look at him, he came out from his daze and quickly took their baby from her. She then turned towards the Markaat and grabbed her neck with her hands.

Bani : I have warned you not to reach my family, didn't I? But you will never listen to it, right? You have played with my emotion, my weakness and my patience too much today so get ready to face your death today itself, Markaat!!! You have already made me realise that letting you alive is the biggest mistake of my life and giving you another chance will be enough to prove how dumb this Aadinaagin is. Witnessing your death tonight will teach a dreadful lesson to all the shaitans on this entire universe who thinks to use their evil powers to own the universe. I swear you will never be able to come back again. This is the Sarvashresth Aadinaagin's vow!!! (She roared by displaying the utmost anger in her red pupils)
Markaat wasn't able to speak as Bani was squeezing her neck mercilessly and she wasn't able to move her body too as Bani had a strong grip around her with her tail.
Bani : All the other human beings staying here, close your eyes right now!!!

She commanded and immediately Meera, Mithra, Arjun and some of the guests who were still staying there closed their eyes in fear. Bani turned and looked at Veer, he nodded, giving her the permission to go ahead. Without wasting even a single second, Bani bit Markaat and transmitted all of her venom into her body which made Markaat to die on the spot. The very next moment, Markaat's spell on the cheels broke and they were able to move their bodies. Bani loosened her grip and Markaat transformed into her naagcheel roop before she collapsed on the ground. Bani used her magic on Markaat's carcass and it completely vanished off without leaving a trace there. Few seconds later, Bani calmed herself, closed her eyes and transformed into her human form. Once she transformed, Veer immediately rushed to her and hugged her tightly. The Singhanias were happy and relieved of Markaat's death but the others were terrified with what they witnessed there and they were dumbstruck with Bani's ferocious murder.
Bani : Veeranshu, give her to me. (She broke the hug and took the baby from him)
Bani : Vani baby, you are alright na? I'm so sorry for letting you suffer with that Markaat just now. I behaved like a bad mother to you today. I will never leave you alone anymore. I'm so sorry, baby. (She hugged the baby and cried)
Veer : Sweetheart, our Angel knows which is right and wrong. You are not a bad mother and will never become one. She understands you, Bani. Am I right, baby?
Baby smiled as agreeing to Veer and Bani placed a kiss on her forehead.
Bani : I'm very sorry for killing your mother, Veer. (She lowered her eyes)
Veer : Shhh... Sweetheart, she was my mother but more than that she was the most cruelest and monstrous evil power on this earth so you don't have to be guilty for killing her. I stopped seeing her as my mother after I get to know about her.
Bani : Thank you so much, Veer. (Then they turned and looked at the others)
Balwant : Bani, we are so sorry for not being able to help you. That witch casted a spell on us.
Tapish : I'm sorry too, Bani. But you really did a good job by killing her.
Bani : I'm sorry daddy ji and Tapish bhai.
Balwant : No, Bani. Don't be sorry for what you have done. You finally gave freedom to all of us. (He smiled at her genuinely)
Bani turned around to look at the frozen human beings who were watching them with their eyes wide open.
Bani : Veeranshu, can you please cast a spell and make them to forget everything that happened after the naming ceremony? I don't want them to get traumatised with whatever they witnessed today.
Veer : Sure, gharwali. (He casted a spell and the normal humans there forgot everything)
Meera : Arre, what are we doing at the terrace now?
Mithra : When did we come here?
Those who remembered everything maintained their innocent face and smirked inwardly.
Balwant : Nothing. Let's get into the house first.
He took all of them to downstairs. Only Veer, Bani, Vani and Tapish were staying there.
Veer : Gharwali, I need to talk to you.
Tapish : Okay, you guys carry on. I'm going to downstairs. (He smiled and left)
Bani : Yes, Veer?
Veer : Sweetheart, when did you get back your powers? You didn't tell me about it.
Bani : Can we go to our room first? I will explain you there.
Veer : Haan chalo.

At their bedroom :
Bani went to the washroom to change her clothes whereas Veer started changing the baby's clothes and diaper while talking to her in baby voice.
Veer : Baby, do you want sponge bath? You are sweating already. (Baby made cooing noise)
Veer : Oh you also agree with me right?
Vani : Hmm. (Baby voice)
Veer : Wait, let your mummy come out first then I will give sponge bath to my little champ. Your mummy always takes more time in the bathroom. I don't know what she will be doing inside there. I think she would be admiring herself in the mirror all the time. (He chuckled and baby grinned)
Vani : Ohhh. (Baby voice)
Veer : Yes baby, it's true. But when you grow up, please don't be like your mummy. You have to be energetic and super fast like your daddy, okay?
Vani : Hmm.
Veer : That's my little girl. (He pecked on her forehead and she smiled)
Veer : Vani, do you like your name?
Vani : Hmm. (She smiled)
Veer : Awww so cute of you baby.
Veer : Baby, I'm so sorry for what your grandmother did to you just now. No no, she is not your gradmother. She is a shaitan. She is not a good woman. She is very bad that's why she tried to hurt you. (He apologised while kissing her tiny hands)
Vani held his finger tightly maybe to say that she understood him.

Veer : Awww my little champ, see you also can't resist my charm like your mom, right? (He chuckled and Bani heard it when she came out)
Bani : Veeranshu, how are you speaking to your daughter? Can't resist your charm, huh? Stop praising yourself too much and faster change her clothes.
Veer : Baby, oops your mom heard our conversation. (He whispered softly and the baby smiled again)
Bani : What you both are whispering to each other there?
Veer : Nothing. It's just between dad and daughter.
Bani rolled her eyes and started drying her hair.
Veer : Sweetheart, should I give a sponge bath to her? She is sweating badly.
Bani : No, Veer. It's too late now. Just wipe her body with the wet tissue and put on new clothes.
Veer : Okay.
He finished wiping her body and Bani passed him the new clothes for the baby.
Veer : Okay done. Ufff my Angel is looking more beautiful now in this pink dress. (He cooed)
Vani smiled at her dad's compliment.

Veer : Sweetheart, did you see she winked at me?
Bani : No such thing. She just blinked her eyes.
Veer : Ufff jealous woman. You are jealous because she winked at me.
Bani : What did you say? Jealous woman is it? (She frowned)
Veer : Yes, you are. My daughter is having my characteristics that's why you are jealous.
Bani pushed Veer on bed and hovered him by pinning his both wrists over his head.
Bani : What did you say? Say that again? I'm a jealous woman is it? (She looked at him dangerously)
Veer : No, you are not. I mean you are... hmm you are... (He stammered)
Bani : What? Continue it. Why are you stammering now? Thinking what to lie right?
Veer : Sweetheart, don't you think you should be more conscious while being in this position with me? (He smirked naughtily but Bani looked confusedly)
Bani : Huh? (Veer immediately wrapped his both legs around Bani's thighs to lock her)
Veer : You are wrong if you think you caught me. (He smirked and Bani instantly loosened her grip on his wrists)
Bani : Let me go. (She tried to get up but he wrapped his arms around her upper body)
Veer : I won't. You started first so let me continue it.
Saying this, he gazed at her eyes affectionately and she did the same. They both shared an intense eye contact for a moment while their lips were slowly getting closer to each other. They almost touched their lips and that's the moment where little Vani chose to cry. Bani immediately pulled back as Veer loosened his grip on her. She blushed and sat beside Vani to take her in her arms.
Veer : Baby, this is a very bad timing. You should've waited for few more minutes to witness a romantic kiss of your parents. You made your dad miss a good opportunity to kiss your mom today. (He said with a pout)
Bani : Veeranshu! Stop being shameless now. (She scolded while caressing the baby)
Veer giggled and sat beside her.
Veer : Bani, I think she's hungry now that's why she's crying.
Bani : Yes, I think the same.
Veer : Okay, you feed her first. I will go and freshen up myself. (He got up from there and kissed her forehead before moving towards the washroom)
Bani started breastfeeding the baby and she stopped crying. She fed the baby until she stopped drinking and then placed her on the bed as she has fallen asleep while Veer also came out from the washroom at the same time.
Veer : Sweetheart, are you done with feeding her?
Bani : Haan.
Veer : So fast?
Bani : She drank little bit only then she fell asleep. Maybe she will wake up again after some time.
Veer : Okay. Shall we talk now?
Bani : Sure, Veer. Let's go and sit there. (She said, pointing at the couch)
Veer : Sweetheart, when did you get back your powers? (He asked while settling on the couch, taking Bani in his embrace)
Bani : Just now morning after I went to the Naag Mandir, Veer.
Veer : Wow gharwali, what a day it is. We shall cherish this day every year because I got back my memory of you, you got back your powers, we named our baby and Markaat got killed today.
Bani : Hmm actually Panditayan said it will take upto 24 hours to get back my whole powers but I just wonder how did I get it tonight itself.
Veer : Maybe because Markaat triggered you too much, sweetheart. We should be glad of it because you got back your powers at the right moment before she could cause any harm to our..hmmm..our Vani, our symbol of love. (He felt as someone ripping his heart to even think about anyone hurting his little champ)
Bani : Don't worry, Veer. We will always pray for her well-being and stay with her as a shield to protect her from the evil powers. (She assured, cupping his face)
Veer : Yes, sweetheart. (He kissed on her hair)
Bani : Veer, you should know one more thing also.
Veer : What is that?
Bani : Just now I rushed to the temple when you said you regained your memory right?
Veer : Haan.
Bani : I went to meet Panditayan and she told me a shocking revelation about the reason behind you regaining your memory.
Veer : What?? I don't get you sweetheart.
Bani : You told me that last night you heard a voice calling your name right? It was none other than the Bholenath Himself. (Veer's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of his socket)
Veer : What???? Bani, are you serious?
Bani : Yes, Veer. He was Bholenath and it was completely His plan to give you back your memory that's why you saw a vision in the swimming pool water about whatever you forgot. He was the one who broke your curse and gave my old Veeranshu back to me. (She explained while feeling blessed and proud to be her Bholenath's devotee)
Veer : Your Bholenath finally helped me to get back to you as your old Veeranshu, sweetheart. All thanks to Him. (He joined his hands and whispered a thanks to Him)
Bani : But you should know why did He suddenly decide to give you back your memory.
Veer : Yeah right? Do you know why?
Bani : Yes. There is a big connection behind everything that happened to us after our consummation, Veer. You went to the moon and forgot me when you returned and then I realised I was pregnant and sacrificed my powers but we got separated before I could let you know about my pregnancy then we met again. This is all connected to each other. This is what Panditayan told me just now in the morning. We have broke the enmity between cheels and naags with our union so we had to go through all these as a punishment of changing the law of nature this time. It was Bholenath, who made you to forget me and then I lost my Aadinaagin's identity when I got pregnant with a cheel's child. So now coming to the point, the reason why you got back your memory is because of our daughter, the symbol of our love, Veer. It was destined to happen today because after getting to know the truth from you, I rushed to the Naag Mandir and there I learnt about many evil powers are after our daughter now therefore I performed a ritual to get back my powers to save her. As I expected, the first evil power that came for our child was Markaat herself today as her death was fated by the Bholenath Himself on this day. (She took a deep breath after being done with her explanation)

Veer went speechless after listening to her. He was looking at her without blinking his eyes. Bani started waving her hand in front of his eyes but still he was in his own world. She finally decided to shake him by holding his shoulders.
Bani : Veeerrrrrrr!!!!!! (She screamed and he came back to the reality)
Veer : Haan??
Bani : What haan? Did you hear me or not? Don't ask me to explain again. I'm not going to do it!
Veer : I heard you, Bani. It means it was all connected to each other? (He raised his eyebrow)
Bani : Yes! And from now onwards we have to take extra care on our Vani and make sure to protect her from the evil powers always. (She reminded him)
Veer : Don't worry, sweetheart. We will always be with her, assuring her safety and well-being.
Bani : Okay, Veer.
Veer : But one thing is for sure.
Bani : What is that?
Veer : Your Bholenath is a real game player. He has been playing with our lives since a long time but we were the one who failed to notice it. (He chuckled)
Bani : Shut up! Don't you dare make jokes on my Bholenath! (She glared at him)
Veer : Oops, okay sorry relax, my aadinaagin. (He pulled her into his embrace)

The next day :
Veer was the one to wake up first before his Bani. He opened his eyes and looked at his wife and daughter sleeping together in the same position and same pout in their face. Veer smiled widely looking at both of his Angels and kissed their foreheads. His little champ woke up with his kiss and looked at him while Bani was still in slumber.
Veer : Good morning, princess. (Her smile made his day)

Veer : Your mom is still sleeping, baby. Let's wake her up.
Baby made a cooing sound, agreeing with Veer. Veer started tickling Bani and she stirred in her sleep.
Veer : Sweetheart, wake up. It's going to be 9am.
Bani : What??? 9am? (She got up with a jerk)
Veer : Yes, it's 9am already. See, Vani is also awake before you. (He chuckled)
Bani : Awww good morning, Angel. (She caressed her face and kissed her cheek)
Veer : Can I get a morning wish too?
Bani : Good morning, patidev.
Veer : Not that. I want a morning kiss here. (He pointed on his lips)
Bani : Okay, come here. (She extended her arms and called him near her)
Veer went towards her excitedly like a kid who's going to receive his favourite chocolates and Bani pecked on his lips quickly before hugging him.
Veer : Wow gharwali, seems like you are in a romantic mood today. (He smirked)
Bani : Okay enough. I will go and take my shower first. (She took her clothes and left to the washroom while Veer started playing with Vani)

At the dining table :
Meera, Mithra, Arjun, Daksh and Ponky were having their breakfast when Veer and Bani came there. Balwant and Tapish had left to their work.
Veer : Good morning, guys.
Meera : Good morning.
Mithra : Good morning jiju, sweetie and cutiepie.
Daksh : Bhai, why are you so late today? It's going to be 10am now.
Ponky : Haan, bhai. We have been waiting for the baby since 2 hours but now only you both are bringing her here. (He pouted)
Bani : I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I woke up late today. (She made a pout too)
Daksh : It's okay, bhabhi. And Veer bhai, dad asked you that when are you going to resume your work again?
Veer : Tomorrow, Daksh. I have already informed Tapish bhai.
Daksh : Oh okay, bhai.
Meera : Veer and Bani, come and have your breakfast first.
Bani : Okay, Meera Di. So who wants to take Vani from me today?
Daksh : Bhabhi, me!!!!
Ponky : No. Me!!!
Mithra : It's my turn today so sweetie, you give her to me.
Three of them were fighting for their turn to take Vani from Bani.
Bani : Guys, faster decide now.
Meera : Guys, stop fighting like kids. Bani as usual will take 30 minutes to finish her breakfast so each of you can have Vani for 10 minutes.
Mithra : Good idea. I will take first because I'm the eldest here.
Daksh : Okay, fine. I will take her after 10 minutes.
Ponky : Why always I'm the last?
Veer : Because you are the youngest and foolish in this house. (He giggled and Ponky rolled his eyes)
Mithra took Vani from Bani and started playing with her while Daksh and Ponky accompanied her. During this whole conversation, Arjun was so lost in his own thoughts which was not gone unnoticed by Veer while Meera and Bani were busy talking to each other.
Veer : Arjun?
Arjun was still lost.
Veer : Oye, Arjun!! (He called loudly)
Arjun came out from his thoughts.
Arjun : Yes, jiju?
Veer : What are you thinking so seriously since just now?
Arjun : Hmmm, nothing. Just as usual. (He smiled and got up from there)
Veer's mind voice : Something is wrong with him. I must find it out soon.
Bani : Veer, why are you not eating? Lost in your thoughts?
Veer : Yes, sweetheart. Thinking about another make out session with you later. (He smirked and winked at her)
Bani : Shut up! (She kicked his foot under the table)
Veer : Ouch!!!
Meera : What happened, Veer?
Veer : Ask your sister because she kicked me.
Bani : Veer!!! (She glared and he chuckled)

Bani moved her right leg again to kick him but he locked it with his two legs and started teasing her. Bani then moved her left leg to tease him more and both started grappling with their legs. Veer tried to grab her both legs and in that movement, he knocked the table unknowingly with his knee which made Meera to jerk away.

Meera : What the hell is happening here? Is there any animal hiding under the table?
Bani gestured Veer to leave her legs but he refused it. Meera bent down to see what's under the table and she got shocked to see them playing with their legs. Bani felt embarrassed and lowered her eyes while Veer was eating like an innocent boy. Meera cleared her throat and looked away.
Meera : Hmm I'm done with my breakfast. I will move first. (She quickly left from there)
Bani : Veeranshu!
Veer : Yes, darling? (He asked innocently)
Bani : Why are you embarrassing me? I know you are a shameless man but why are you getting me into the trouble?
Veer : What did I do? You are the one who started first.
Bani : Okay, fine. Leave my legs now.
Veer : No, I won't.
Bani : Please?
Veer : No!
Bani : If you don't let me go now then you won't get any make out session for the next one month. (She threatened him)
Veer instantly released her legs.
Bani : Good boy. (She grinned at him and he rolled his eyes)

Some time later, Arjun was sitting at the backyard alone and was lost in his thoughts again. Veer went to him to have a conversation as he realised something was wrong with Arjun.
Veer : Hi, Arjun. (He tapped on his shoulder)
Arjun : Hi, jiju. Why are you here?
Veer : Why? Should I not come here?
Arjun : No, I didn't mean it in that way. I just asked casually.
Veer : So tell me now. What's bothering you?
Arjun : Hmm nothing. I'm perfectly fine.
Veer : Don't lie to me. I can read your mind. (He teased him)
Arjun : What? Really? You got that power too? (He got shocked)
Veer : Yes, so better tell me now what's bothering you.
Arjun : Hmm actually I think I'm in love.
Veer : Wow!!! Really? Who's that lucky girl?
Arjun hesitated to reveal her name.
Veer : Come on bro. Just tell it. I might take the chance to become a cupid of your love story. (He chuckled)
Arjun : Hmmm jiju actually she's none other than...umm...Mithra.
Veer : Wow!!! So the lucky girl is our Mithra. Did you propose her already? What did she say?
Arjun : No, I haven't propose her. I don't think I could do that because she sees me as a friend only so if I propose her then she might misunderstand me for taking advantage of her friendship.
Veer : I don't think that she sees you as a friend. I think she likes you too.
Arjun : What? Are you sure, jiju?
Veer : Yes, I'm 99.99 percent sure.
Arjun : Hmm what should I do now?
Veer : Just go and propose her, man. Trust me, she will accept you.
Arjun : But how? Can you help me please jiju?
Veer glared at him.
Veer : Just do it in your own style. Express your true feelings to her.
Arjun : Hmm I have not proposed anyone in my life until now jiju. Can you please help me.
Veer : Okay then just do like this. (He explained the plan to Arjun)
Arjun : I guess this will work. Thank you so much, jiju.
Veer : All the best to you, bro! (He bumped his fist with Arjun)

At Mithra's room :
Mithra was arranging her things in the wardrobe when she heard someone knocking the door.
Mithra : Yes, coming! (She went and opened the door)
Mithra : Hey, Arjun!
Arjun : Hi, Mithra. (He smiled nervously)
Mithra : Come in.
Arjun : Thank you. What are you doing here?
Mithra : I'm just arranging my things there.
Arjun : Oh okay.
Mithra : So why are you here?
Arjun : Hmm can we go out somewhere in the evening?
Mithra : Where?
Arjun : There is a surprise for you. Can you come with me? (He smirked)
Mithra looked at him confusedly as it was not his body language at all.
Mithra : Are you alright, Arjun? Are you having fever? (She started checking his temperature)
Arjun : No. Why are you asking like this?
Mithra : Because you are giving me surprise for the first time ever. (He chuckled)
Arjun : Please, can you come with me?
Mithra : Hmm yes sure.
Arjun : Yaaayyy!! Thank you so much. (He hugged her out of excitement and her eyes popped out)
Arjun immediately broke the hug and cleared in throat awkwardly.
Arjun : Okay, wait for me at 6 in the evening I will come and take you with me. (He left after saying this)
Mithra's mind voice : What's wrong with him? It was totally out of his character. Weird!

Arjun was driving somewhere with Mithra. In the car, Mithra kept pestering him about their destination.
Mithra : Arjun, tell me na. Where are we going now?
Arjun : OMG!! Mithra, you are asking this for the 47th time. Can you stop it for a while until we reach there?
Mithra : Where? Reach where? Where are we going now? Are you planning to kidnap me and sell me somewhere?
Arjun got fed up with her stupid questions and parked the car at a secluded side on the way to their destination. He removed their seat belts and turned towards her.
Mithra : Why did you stop here? Is this our destination? But there's nothing and no one here. (She asked while checking the surroundings)
Arjun : No. Mithra, turn and look at me now.
Mithra turned and stared at his eyes while Arjun cupped her face. Her jaw dropped and her eyes popped out as it was the very first time he touched her face that too with lot of unspoken emotions in his eyes. She started breathing heavily.
Mithra : Wha...what are... you doing?
Arjun : Mithra, I know we are always like Tom & Jerry, who never gets tired of fighting with each other. I have never expressed any of my feelings to you until now. You know what? You are the most annoying creature that I have ever met. Your silly arguments are the most irritating ones that have ever happened to me. We knew each other since a few years but I have been hating you since then. I hate you now too. (Mithra glared at him) Wait, listen to me first before you start with your stupid fight now. Yes, I have been hating you all the time but I don't know when that shit happened to me. After Bani left us, I have started spending more time with you alone and it made me realise that I have been literally trying to impress you when we were together. Don't ask me why! I don't know the reason too but I have started to like you, your merciless taunts, your stupid jokes, your annoying voice, your attracting eyes, your sharp nose, your beautiful pink glossy lips, your tomboy dress sense and everything that is related to you. Yes, I hate to admit it now but I have no other choice with me. I'm finally in love with you, Mithra. I love you, idiot!!! (He brought his face closer to hers and claimed her lips without waiting for her answer)

Mithra's eyes were wide open and she was in awestruck as he suddenly confessed his feelings to her. He proposed her unexpectedly. Yes, it's true that she loved him too but she wasn't sure about their feelings. Arjun continued kissing her and she slowly closed her eyes, parted her lips and started reciprocating the kiss. He got his answer from her action and he started kissing her more deeply. They were kissing passionately for few minutes and broke their kiss when they felt the need of air. It was first kiss for both of them and they really felt it awkward to meet each other's face after that. Arjun was staring at the steering while Mithra lowered her head and was staring at her own feet. There was an awkward silence for more than 10 minutes in the car. Both of them wanted to initiate the conversation but they were blushing too much to do it. Finally Arjun decided to break the silence.

Arjun : Hmm Mithra? (He called her nervously)
Mithra : Haan? (She said while still looking down)
Arjun : Do you love me?
Mithra remained silent and was playing with her fingers to control her nervousness. Arjun noticed them and held her hands. She turned to look at the man who was smiling at her. That smile was totally new to her and her silence was completely unnatural to him.
Arjun : I know you are feeling nervous and I'm here with you. (He said, patting her hands)
Mithra : Thanks.
Arjun : So, do you love me?
Mithra again smiled at him.
Arjun : Tell me, Mithra. Do you love me?
Mithra : I thought you got my answer just now itself. (She blushed)
Arjun : Huh? (He thought about the kiss) Oh yes, so you love me right?
Mithra nodded in positive while blushing.
Arjun : Can you say that in words? (He cupped her face and made her to look at him)
Mithra : Yes! I love you too, Arjun. (She kissed on his forehead and Arjun started to blush)
Arjun and Mithra hugged each other to celebrate their love.
