Ting tong...Ting tong...

Veer came behind Bani to see her continuously pressing the calling bell. The tequilla had already started to show its effect on Bani. Veer stopped her and made her turn towards him.

V: Kya kar rahe ho?! Darwaza locked hai, chabi mere paas hai.. Why are you ringing the bell?!..

B: *giggling* Ohh, main bhool gayi thi..

He himself was a little tipsy, but still he was in control. On the other hand, his wife was going bonkers under the effect of alcohol. She jumped on and off the stairs at the entrance of the farmhouse. Veer sighed looking at her childishness and opened the lock of the door.

V: Sweetheart, andar aao...

B: Haa..

She came in dancing, and Veer stopped her.

V: Kya peeya hai tumne?!..

B: *thinking* Mmmm... Bohot kuch... Pehle buu lagoon, fir tumhara wo

V: *cutting her in the middle* You had tequilla shots?!..

B: *cheeky smile* Hehe haa... Ekdam ittu sa... *showing with her fingers*

V: *sternly* Kitne?!..

B: *scared* 6...

V: *rubbing his temple frustrated* Maine mana kiya tha na tumhe?! Fir kyu peeya?!...

B: *pouting sadly* Tum mujhe daant rahe ho?!...Jao tumse baat ni kanni..

She stood turning the other side. Veer sighed and went in front of her. She looked at him, and again turned away. It was going to be tough, he thought.
He went in front of her again, and held her shoulders to stop her from going away.

V: Sweetheart, tum khudko sambhal nahi sakti to kyun peeti ho?!...

B: *offended* Main khudko sambhal sakti hoon...

V: Dikh raha hai mujhe... You can't even walk properly, aur tumhe lagta hai tum apne apko sambhal logi..

B: *looking at him cutely* Agar main nahi sambhal paayi, to tum sambhal lena...

Veer didn't understand whether it was because of Bani's words and cute face or his drunken self, but he felt a sudden attraction towards her. He tuned his face away and closed his eyes tightly to divert his mind. He took a deep breath, and again looked back at her.

V: *changing the topic* Waise, wo poised and well-mannered Bani kaha gayi, jo drunk hone ke baad bhi shant rehti hai?!..

B: *giggling* Ab tumhe to sab pata chal hi gaya hai, fir tumse kya chhupana.. I know you won't judge me, isliye I am being myself with you... But agar tumhe wo wali Bani chahiye, to thikhai...

She put her finger on her lips, and quietly went to sit on the sofa. She swayed side to side, but neither did she utter a single word nor did any crazy stuff. Veer smiled at her control. He thought to see how crazy she can go while being drunk. He walked over and sat beside her. She glanced at him raising her eyebrows, but without moving the finger from her lips.

V: *chuckling* Sweetheart, you better be yourself.... That suits you more...

B: *happily* Hai na?!... I know... Tum bohot achhe ho... Chalo upar chalte hai...

She stood up and tried to pull him up as well. He stood up, and she smiled thinking that she was successful in pulling him up. She circled her hands around his neck and came closer to him, and he held her from waist immediately as if in a reflex. Their closeness was bothering him much and he being tipsy was adding to it. But he decided to avoid it as much as possible and focus on her words instead.

She was trying to sing some song, but the words were not clear.

V: Kya gaa rahi ho Sweetheart?!..

B: Tumhe sunna hai?!.. Sunati hoon...

She started singing audibly this time.
Her voice was slurry, but she sounded cute.

Zara sa jhoom loon main,
(She moved her head)
Are na re na re na..
(She showed no with her hand)
Zara sa ghoom loon main,
(She left Veer and twirled once)
Are na re na re na..
(Veer stopped her and she showed no with her finger)
Aa tujhe choom loon main,
(She pulled him closer and almost kissed him, but he instantly closed his eyes and turned his face away trying to control himself)
Are na re baba na..
(She went away and shook her head showing that she won't do anything as such. He sighed looking at her)
Main chali, banke hawa..
(She tried to run around the sofa, but lost her balance)
Maula mere, mujhko bacha..
(Veer saved her from falling, and she sang the line looking at him dreamily)

Veer made her stand properly, and she grinned.

B: Kaisa laga mera gaana?!..

V: Bohot achha... Very nice...

B: *giggling* Hihihiihi... Ab upar jaana hai...

V: Dheere.... Don't run... Main bhi tipsy hoon, aur tumhari baat na hi karu to behtar hai... You are completely bevvied...

B: *confused* Kyaah?!...

V: Kuch nahi... Ekdam dheere dheere chalo...

B: Ok...

Bani held Veer's hand and climbed one stair at a time. She counted the stair number after stepping on it. Veer laughed at her cuteness and went along with her. They finally reached the 1st floor, and she ran to his room. He sighed and went behind her.

He entered the room and saw her sitting on the bed.

V: Bani...

B: *looking at him* Kaun Bani?! Main Sweethaat hoon..

V: *chuckling* Achha ok.... Sweetheart, jao jaake change kar lo...

B: Nahi karna...

V: To ye pehnke sogi?!.. Jaooo...

B: Mujhe tumhara wo black wala hoodie pehnna hai...

V: *shocked* What?! No... Aisa kuch nahi hoga, jao change karke aao...

B: *whinning* Nahi nahi nahi.... Nahiii jaungi.. I want that black hoodie, that's it...

V: *sighing* I have too many black hoodies Sweetheart, which one do you want?!...

He opened the cupboard, and she came running. She went through the hoodies, and finally picked out one from there.

B: *happily* Ye wala...

He nodded and closed the cupboard, and she went to change in his washroom. Veer settled on the couch, waiting for her to come out. She came out after few minutes, wearing the hoodie above her shorts that she was wearing with the dress. He looked at her from top to bottom, and the attraction build up again. The hoodie was a little oversized for her and came till her mid-thighs, near the end of her shorts. She looked damn cute in his hoodie, it suited her perfectly as if it was made for her only. Or maybe for both of them only...

Veer looked away and gathered his messed up thoughts. She came near him and showed him her hands. Her hands were inside the sleeves of the hoodie. She pouted and shook her hands, trying to get them out. He laughed seeing that, and helped her to adjust the sleeves rightly. She smiled at him and settled on the bed.

B: *yawn* Mujhe neen aa ri hai... Tum change karne jao, main chali sone... Gunnight...

Saying this, she lied on the bed and closed her eyes. He smiled at her utmost cuteness and went to change.

Coming back from the washroom, he saw that Bani had already fallen asleep. She looked like a kid while sleeping. His eyes went towards her bare legs, and he instantly covered her with the blanket. He sat beside her and kissed her forehead. He looked at her angelic face, and felt a strong urge to kiss her on her lips right away. He knew it was wrong, but the urge was so strong that he couldn't help it. The attraction towards her was increasing every second, and the urge of kissing added to it making him go insane. He tried to look away, but couldn't. He finally gave in. He covered her lips with his palm, and kissed on the top of his hand.

He looked at her and mumbled a "Sorry" and went to his side of the bed. He tried to sleep, but sleep was far away from his eyes. The same thought kept bothering him, "Why am I getting attracted to her so suddenly?! Is this right?!"... His heart said it was right, but his mind said the opposite. At last, he came to a conclusion that it was only because she was wearing a short dress today, nothing else. He finally drifted to sleep.

               ********************
Bani woke up with a bad headache the next morning. She sat up holding her head, and looked around in search of Veer. She saw him entering the room with a glass of lemonade.

V: *smile* Good Morning Sweetheart...

B: *trying to smile* Yeahh good morning... Actually not so good, coz my head is bursting in pain...

He handed her the glass of lemonade and sat beside her. She gulped down the lemonade at one go, and kept the glass on the side table. Veer smirked and decided to tease her.

V: Sweetheart, aise mat bolo.. How can you say that the morning is not so good?!.. It's the best morning of my life, after what happened yesterday night...

B: Matlab?! Aisa kya hua?!.. I don't remember anything...

V: *making an upset face* What?! You forgot?!.. Bani, yesterday was the most blissful night for us... *holding her hand* Humare beech wo sab hogaya jo ek pati patni ke beech hota hai... We are now completely one... Tumhe shayad yakeen nahi hoga, khudko ho dekhlo, kya pehni huyi ho...

Bani looked at herself and found that she was really wearing one of Veer's hoodies. She looked back at him confused.

V: I know it's hard to believe as you don't remember anything, but it's the truth... *smirk* Waise, tum badi wild nikli... You literally left marks on my neck...

He showed him her neck where he had made some red marks using her lipstick. She saw that and looked down to their hands. She registered everything in her mind and looked back at him.

B: *casually* Oh okayy....

V: *taking his hand back being shocked* Whaatttt?!... Did you just say okay?!... How can you be so casual about it?!...

B: So what do you want me to do?! Cry for that or shout at you?!... First of all, I am not someone who reacts over any situation so easily... Secondly and most importantly, I trust you enough to know that you won't do anything wrong with me ever, even if you are drunk and not in your senses... So, stop your acting...

V: *looking at her* Itna trust karte ho mujhpe?!...

B: *smiling* Tumhe yaad hai, tumne mujhe ek din kaha tha "kisi bhi rishte ki buniyad jhoot pe nahi ho sakti"... Waise hi, main manti hoon kisi bhi rishte ki buniyad bharose ke bagair mazboot nahi hoti... Aur khaas karke agar samne wala insaan tum ho, to bharosa aa hi jaati hai...

V: *amazed* Kaise kar leti ho?!...

B: *raising her eye smiling* Kya, itni achhi baatein?! Inborn talent.. *giggle*

Veer giggled too. She was really a gem of a person.. He never thought someone could trust him so much over everything else; but here she was, trusting him even after knowing that they were drunk yesterday and anything of that sort was possible in that situation. She trusted him to such an extent that she didn't believe his words even when she didn't remember anything, just because she knew he couldn't do anything wrong with her. He felt blessed to have her in his life.

B: *cleaning the lipstick mark* Ye wala lipstick nahi lagana chahiye tha.. It would have been one shade darker...

V: *smirk* Tumhe bada pata hai...

B: *laugh* You don't know what kind of experiences I have...

V: *with widened eyes* Matlab?!..

B: *laugh* Okay, this is weird I know... The thing is, ek bar office mein Shrads came to meet DD at the lunch time... I was in my cabin that day... Suddenly DD comes in covering his neck and asks for concealer... Maine puchha kya hua hai, then he showed me the hickey on his neck.. Banda kehta hai, "Jaan, I went to the garage to see her off, and this happened... Kuch kar, arrange something... Ye leke nahi ghum sakta main"... I literally had to go to the beauty store and buy a concealer for him.. Tabse mere bag mein humesha ek concealer rehta hai... So I know how a hickey looks...

V: *laugh* Oh God, that is really weird... Anyways, sorry for such a ghatiya prank...

B: *suppressing her laugh* Which did not work... You are really so cute you know... The way you said it, it was so easy to know ki aisa kuch huya hi nahi hai... Cutu... *giggle* Ab sach batao, kal kya hua?!...

V: *smirk* Mujhe nahi batana... It's a secret... Tumne kal mujhe bohot kuch kaha hai, many secrets of yours... I am not gonna reveal them...

B: *laugh* Okkk Done... Apne paas rakhlo mere secrets, I don't have a problem... Ab hato, I need to go and get fresh...

Bani was going to remove the blanket, when Veer stood up suddenly. He said he needed to go downstairs, and hurriedly went out of the room. She looked at him confused, thinking "Ise kya hua?!...".

She shrugged her thoughts and went to her room. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, and all his words came running in her mind.
"It's the best morning of my life,  after what happened yesterday night...",
"Bani, yesterday was the most blissful night for us...",
"Humare beech wo sab hogaya jo ek pati patni ke beech hota hai...",
"We are now completely one...", "Tumhe shayad yakeen nahi hoga, khudko ho dekhlo kya pehni huyi ho..",
"I know it's hard to believe as you don't remember anything, but it's the truth..",
"Tum badi wild nikli... You literally left marks on my neck..."....
She sat on the bed and breathed heavily clutching the bedsheet. Only she knew how she controlled herself in front of him after hearing all those. Those words did something to her. It didn't feel uncomfortable, but it felt something different. She didn't know what to call this feeling, as she was unknown to it. She took a deep breath and calmed herself. She decided to take it casually.

She stood up and went in front of the mirror again and looked at herself properly. She realised that his hoodie indeed suited her very well. She blushed at her thought, and went to freshen up.

                ********************
Veer was waiting for Bani in the hall. It was Sunday and they were supposed to go to Angel's Home and Hail and Hearty. Bani came down after few minutes. They had their breakfast together and left for Angel's Home.

They reached there and went inside. The children were elated to see Veer along with Bani. They happily came towards them and hugged them. Veer sat with the children and started hearing their different incidents throughout the week. Bani was also going to sit when Sahil and Neel pulled her aside. Bani went with them and got busy in hearing their notorious plan.

While listening to the stories, Veer's attention diverted to Bani. He saw her sitting a little away from him with Neel and Sahil, and laughing about something. He got lost in her smile. The suppressed attraction towards her resurfaced in his mind and heart again. One of the children called him loudly, breaking his chain of thoughts. It was then that he realised what he was doing. He scolded himself and concentrated back to the children.

At the evening, while returning back home, Bani noticed that Veer was behaving weird. It seemed as if something was bothering him. She decided to ask him about it once they return home.

They reached home and Veer directly went to his room and closed the door. Bani sighed seeing his ignorance and thought not to disturb him.

Veer sat in his room and began thinking what was happening to him. He didn't know why but he was getting attracted to Bani suddenly. He never felt like this for someone before and this alien feeling was bothering him way too much. He thought it was wrong to get attracted to her like this and decided to remove this from his head. He made up his mind to not think about this feeling anymore and ignore it totally.

At dinner time, Veer came down. Bani saw him sitting in the table and went to sit beside him. He smiled at her, and she held his hand seriously.

B: Veer, are you okay?!...Is anything bothering you?!...

V: *smiling at her* No no, I am fine...

B: Are you sure?!.. You can share if you want...

V: No Sweetheart, I am absolutely fine.. Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe...

B: *smiling* Okayy... Par agar kuch hai to mujhe batana, I am there with you...

V: I know... *smile*

Bani smiled at him and went to get their dinner. They had their dinner, and went to sleep.

              **********************
The next day, after office, Bani was in her room checking the file of the deal with Mercury Industries. She had a meeting at their office the next day, and she was not prepared at all. Veer came in her room after changing, and saw her sitting with a file in front of her laptop, wearing glasses. He was surprised.

[ignore the background of the pic]

V: Sweetheart tum chasmish ho?!...

B: *looking at him* Oh you're here... Aao baitho... And nahi main chasmish nahi hoon, these are my blue light glasses for my screen time...

V: *smirk* Same thing... Chasmish...

B: *rolling her eyes* Nope.. I only wear it while working on my laptop or mobile for a long period... So, not the same thing...

V: *laugh* Ok fine... I was just joking... I also have these glasses...

B: Ohh... Achha ab kaam ki baat pe aate hai... Tomorrow I have a meeting at your office, and we have not discussed anything till now...

V: Sweetheart chill... You will ace it... You don't need to prepare, you already know everything about the project...

B: *looking at the file* Thanks for that, but can you please be a little serious now?!... I really need to discuss the project with you...

V: Achha ok, tell me what you want to know...

Bani heaved a sigh of relief when he agreed, and showed him the file. They discussed about the project, and she made a note of each and every point very clearly in a diary. She also showed him various ideas for the project that she had thought, and they talked over those ideas. Veer was impressed with her way of working. He now understood why everyone waited eagerly to get a chance to work with her atleast once. She was damn serious about her work and gave attention to detail in every issue. He smiled seeing her determination.

Bani was asking something to Veer for a long time, but he didn't respond. She turned to look at him, and saw him already looking at her keenly and smiling. She sighed and called him again.

B: Veeranshu, main kabse tumhe ye cheez puchh rahi hoon, tum jawaab hi nahi de rahe... Kaha khoye huye ho?!...

V: *smirk* Tumhe dekhne mein busy tha...

B: *deep sigh* This is not funny at all... Please focus at the work Veeranshu...

V: *smirk* Who said it was funny?! I am focusing at MY work very well... Aur ye kya Veeranshu Veeranshu laga rakha hai tumne Sweetheart?!... Cutu ka kya hua?!..

B: *getting a little bit irritated* Don't Sweetheart me right now Veeranshu... Ab hum kaam ki baat kar rahe hai, and I don't like any disturbance when I am working...

V: *smug smile* Arre maine disturb kaha kiya?! Maine to bas Sweetheart kaha, aur kahunga bhi... Sweetheart Sweetheart Sweetheart...

B: *looking at the other side* Please stop it.... Don't distract me when I am talking about work...

V: *smirk* You mean to say I am distracting you, haa?!... *poking her waist*

B: *shoving his hand* I am not in a mood to joke around right now.. So can we please get back to our project?!...

V: *casually* I am not in a mood to work right now... So, can we do something else?!...

B: *rubbing her forehead* This is really really important... You need to cooperate... I can't help if you are not in a mood to work, coz this is urgent...

V: Sweetheart relax... Itna overwork mat karo... Main bhi kaam karta hoon, but what you're doing right now is extra.. You don't need to put so much of efforts...

B: *losing her temper* You don't tell me how I need to work... Tumhara kaam karne ka style shayad alag hai, but main aise hi kaam karti hoon... If you have a problem with it, I can't do anything... Kab se keh jaa rahi hoon ke plz focus, plz pay attention; par nahi, tumhe mazak suj raha hai... Kaam ke waqt I don't entertain this type of behaviour, you need to know this... Pichle din bhi yahi hua, but I let it go... Par iska matlab to ye nahi ke har roz aisa hi chalega... Kal meeting hai, aur tum abhi bhi itna casual ho... I don't work like this, kaam ke time I expect professional behaviour from you... So, cooperate with me and help me out with the document..

V: *seriously* Kya karna hai?!...

B: Thanks...

She turned to her laptop and showed him the problem. He answered her in short and she noted it in her diary. Once this was done, Veer got up to leave.

V: Aur koi kaam hai mujhse?!...

B: *focusing at the screen* Nahi abhi to kuch dikh nahi raha, but aage ho sakta hai...

V: *facing the door* Ok then, main apne room mein hoon... Come there if you need anything more...

B: *looking at him* Veeranshu, you are overreacting...

V: *turning towards her* Oh really, I am overreacting?!... Fir tumne kuch der pehle jo kiya wo kya tha?!..

B: Main kabse tumhe keh rahi thi help karne ke kiye but you were busy joking, and I don't like someone taking work lightly... That's why I reacted..

V: *angry* I was just trying to help you relax your mind... I didn't want you to overwork isliye main mazak kar raha tha tumhare saath... You are taking extra pressure on your head, and you think I am bothering you...

B: That's how I work... That's my style of working... You can't decide how I should work or not... Kal meeting hai, and so I am trying to keep everything prepared... I never said you are bothering me, it's just that you were not taking the work seriously..

V: *joining his hands* Galti hogayi mujhse, BANI SHARMA... Plz do your work, I won't disturb you... Bye...

He left her room closing the door with a thud.

Bani sat there holding her head. "Why did this happen?! What was my mistake in this?!... He was not taking me seriously and so I reacted... But, he was also right at his place.. Wo sirf mujhe kaam ke load se free karna chah raha tha, mujhe thora hasana chah raha tha... I should have tried to understand his point of view once... Mujhe aise uske upar chillana nahi chahiye tha... But maine bhi to kitni bar request ki, usne suna hi nahi... That's why this happened... Mujhe ye kya horahi hai?! Why am I losing my temper so quickly these days?! This is not right... Jo bhi hua, I need to say sorry to him... Kaam hojane ke baad I will go talk to him surely..." She sighed and got back to her work.

Veer went and sat in his balcony. "Maine kahi zyada react to nahi kar diya?!... She was being sincere in her work and I was trying to joke, maybe that's why she lost her temper... I should have taken her seriously and tried to understand her point of view... Main sirf use thora workload se free karna chah raha tha, but still mujhe uske upar aisa chillana nahi chahiye tha.. But, uski bhi galti thi... She should also realise that... Ye mujhe kya horaha hai?! Why am I getting hurt and angry at such a small thing?!.. Anyways, I am not going to talk to her huh..." He wanted to go to her and apologize, but his ego came in between. He stayed in his room and started scrolling through his mobile.

             *********************
Bani finished her work and closed her laptop. She hurriedly cleaned her room, and went out to go to his room. At the same time, Veer came out of his room to come to her. They looked at each other and stopped at their paths.
After few seconds, they both went towards each other and he engulfed her in a hug. She hugged him back with relief.

B/V: I am so sorry Cutu/Sweetheart...

They smiled at each other's apology.

B: I should not have shouted on you like that, when you were just trying to make me laugh...I told many ride things to you, I am sorry for that.. I am really sorry...

V: It's my fault too, Sweetheart... Tum kaam pe focus kar rahi thi, and I tried to distract you and didn't take you seriously... I should not have done that... I am sorry...

B: *breaking the hug and looking at him* Achha ab hogaya, dono ne hi galti ki hai aur dono ne maafi bhi maang li hai, bas baat khatam...

V: *holding her from waist* Haa... Ab chalo main tumhe kaam ke baare mein seriously sab bata deta hoon..

B: *smile* Nahi, no need... My work is done...

V: Oh okayy... Fir dinner karle?!..

B: Haa chalo...

They smiled at each other and went down to have their dinner.

It was their first mutual fight. The fight didn't leave any bitterness between them, but instead taught them an important lesson. Both of them realised the necessity to understand their own mistake and apologise in a relationship, after their first fight. They made sure to follow this after every dispute, and went to sleep with a happy heart.
