"Beep beep..."

Veer was sitting in his room going through his old diaries, when his mobile beeped. He picked up the mobile and saw that he was added to a new group. He kept his diary on the table and sat comfortably on the bed, and opened the chat box. He realised it was DD. He smiled seeing Bani texting there.

Bani was in her room reading her favourite book. DD suddenly called her asking to check her whatsapp. She agreed and opened the chat to see that their group name was changed and Veer was added to the group. She got happy and started texting there. Soon, Veer also joined their chat session and her happiness increased.

Bani threw her mobile on the bed after seeing Veer's message, and went to her mother's room. Veer also kept his mobile on the side table and went back to his desk to see the old diaries.

             **********************
It was 12:30 at night, but sleep was far away from Veer's eyes. He was trying to sleep from the last one hour but couldn't. He kept tossing and turning in the bed, unable to sleep. He was in his own bedroom, in his comfort zone, wearing his favourite and most comfortable tee, but still something was missing. Maybe her... He was missing her terribly every second. He didn't know why, but he was not liking to stay away from her. He sat up and took his mobile from the bedside table. He opened WhatsApp and saw that she was online. He quickly sent her a text.

The condition was no different in her side. She was staying with her mother after many days, she was very happy for that. But, an emptiness remained in her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt as if something was not there. Maybe him... She missed him a lot. She wanted to go back to the Farmhouse as soon as possible and meet him again. She kept surfing through the apps on her mobile, and finally landed on WhatsApp. She was checking the statuses when Veer's message popped up. Her eyes widened realising that he was awake. She quickly opened his chat and replied to him.

She saw that her mother was sleeping peacefully. She touched her forehead and found that she had no fever. She smiled and covered her with the blanket properly, and quickly went to her room. She settled on her bed, and just then Veer called. She picked it up instantly.

B: Hello...

V: Hii.. Sasumaa ki tabiyat kaisi hai?!..

B: Haa, theek hai... Bukhar nahi hai abhi, aur khaasi bhi kam hai... She will be fully fit and fine by Saturday...

V: Good... Sweetheart

B: *cutting him in the middle* Oh wow, tumhe yaad hai ke tum Sweetheart bulate the mujhe... Maine socha tum bhul gaye...

V: *confused* Matlab?!...

B: Last 2 din se mujhe Bani Bani bula rahe ho, to mujhe laga tum bhul hi gaye hoge Sweetheart naam ke baare mein...

V: *realising that it was because of his ignorance* Oh, I am sorry Sweetheart..

B: Arre, sorry kyun bol rahe ho... It's okay... Sorry mat bolo...

V: *sadly* Sweetheart...

B: *concerned hearing his sad voice* Veer, kya hua??... Veer maine sach mein mind nahi kiya uss baat ko lekar.. Are you becoming sad for that?!... Plz don't...

V: *sadly* Sach batau ya jhoot batau?..

B: Obviously sach batao...

V: *sighing* I miss you...

B: *smiling* Main tumse ek secret share karu?!... Kisiko batana mat ok, mere pati ko to bilkul bhi nahi... I miss you too...

V: *smiling* You do?!...

B: *smirk* Haa, ekdam thora sa... But I do... Mere pati ko batana mat, please...

V: *enjoying her drama* Kyun?!...

B: *dramatically* Arre main kya kahu tumse, wo itna Akdu hai ke ye sunte hi gusse se laal hojayega.. Baapre, ekdam devil hai wo...

V: *dramatically* Hawww, tum apni pati ki buraai kar rahi ho??!...

B: *smiling* Haaa... Kyun, tumhe koi problem hai?!...

V: Nahi nahi, karo jitni buraai karni hai... Aur kya kya buraai hai usme?!...

B: *seriously* Bohot saare hai, par jo bhi ho, pati hai wo mera... Aise aur buraai nahi lar sakti main...

V: Oh okay okay... Samajh gaya main...

They both paused for few seconds and then laughed at their nonsense talks.

V: *laughing* Pagal ho tum...

B: *laughing* Correction, hum...

V: *stopping* Yeah okay... Waise, kaunsi book padh rahi thi tum?!... Wo RAVANA??...

B: Haa.. Par abhi main book nahi padh rahi thi actually, main insta kar rahi thi... Tumhe nahi batayi kyunki tum daantte ho mujhe, sone se pehle mobile dekhne par...

V: *smiling at her honesty* Oh achha... Tumhari aj ek client meeting thi na?! Kaisi gayi?!...

B: *happily* Thikthaak... Veer, pata hai aj kya hua...

And she started telling him about her day. He smiled and started listening to her attentively. She kept on talking about different things and he kept listening. He was slowly becoming her human diary. She finally completed and sighed happily.

B: *smiling* Ahh... Hehehe, main kitna bakti hoon, tum bore hogaye...

V: Kisne kaha?! Bilkul nahi... Mujhe achha lagta hai jab tum aise bolti rehti ho, bolti rehti ho, aur mann karta hain ki main tumhe sunta hi rahu...*smile*

B: *blushing* Ab tum batao, kaise gaya tumhara din?!... Aur ghar jaane ke baad Mumma ne kya kaha?!...

V: *chuckling* Wo to puchho hi mat...

Veer told her how his Mom and Dad reacted after he came back. She laughed and teased him. Then, he also started telling her about his day. She was listening keenly to him. But, by the time he completed, she had become silent. Veer called her name 2-3 times, but she gave no response. He realised that she had fallen asleep while listening to him. He smiled at her cuteness, and cut the call.

He was feeling at peace. He didn't understand what was happening to him. Firstly, the attraction towards her, then missing her when she was away, and now the peace after talking to her. His emotions were confusing him. He needed to talk to someone about this urgently. He knew the exact person who could help him out from this situation: Tapish Bhai. Tapish bhai was a book lover, and there was an unique talent in every book lover; they could read between the lines and understand the hidden emotions from there. This quality made Tapish bhai the most understanding among all of his brothers. Also, Tapish bhai was good at keeping secrets, he never told it to anyone. He made up his mind to say this to Tapish bhai the very next day, and went to sleep.

             **********************
Veer woke up the next morning, and the first thing that came in his mind was Bani. He remembered how she had fallen asleep yesterday, and thus thought to call her to wake her up. He quickly took his mobile and dialled her number. She picked up soon.

V: Good morning Sweetheart...

B: *happily* Good morning Cutu...

V: Tum kab uthi?!...

B: 1 ghanta pehle... Main call karne wali thi tumhe par fir socha ke tum kal raat der se soye ho, abhi so rahe hoge araam se, isliye disturb nahi kiya...

V: *smiling* Oh achhha...

B: Waise sorry haa, main kal tumse baat karte karte so gayi...

V: *chuckling* Pagal... It's absolutely fine... You were snoring yesterday... *tease*

B: *shocked* Hawww jhoote... I don't snore...

V: *suppressing his laugh* Mujhe bhi yahi lagta tha, fir kal maine suna tum kaise kharate mar rahi thi...

B: *nervous* Kya?!... Sach keh rahe ho?!.. I was snoring, shit... Ab kya hoga... Shittt....

V: *laughing* Hahahahahhaha, oh my goodness, Bani... Hahahaa tumko sach mein laga tum kharate mar rahi thi?! Hahahahahaha... Haahahahaa... How innocent, Sweetheart... Hahahhaaha...

B: *frown* Veer, tumne mujhe dara hi diya tha...Urghhh Idiot...

V: *still laughing* Hahaha ahhh, I am sorry but it was fun... 

B: *smiling* Achha ab bohot hogaya, main call kat rahi hoon, I will leave for office within few minutes...

V: Achha okay... Bye then, sham ko call karunga...

B: *smile* Yeah okay... Bubye, Take care...

And she cut the call. He smiled looking at the screen and got up from the bed. He put his mobile on charging and went to freshen up.

Coming down, he saw Puchki and Ponky waiting for him. As soon as they spotted him, they came running and jumped on him.

Puchki: *hugging him* Bhaiyyaaaa.....

Ponky: *side hug* Bhai... Kitne dino baad...

V: *smiling* Yeahhh.. *holding Puchki* Abbe oye, bandar, utar mere upar se...

Puchki: *hugging him tightly* Nahiii... I missed you Bhaiyya...

Ponky: *rolling eyes* Dramebaaz...

V: *laughing* Sach mein... Ponky, jaake dekh aj suraj kahin North se to nahi nikla, varna ye larki mujhe miss you keh rahi hai, this is beyond imagination...

Ponky: *laugh* True...

Puchki: *hitting him and whinning* Bhaiyya...

V: *chuckling* Achha achha okk... I missed you too, meri gudiya...

Puchki: *leaving him* Hehe... *turning to Ponky* Aur tu, kya keh raha tha, ruk....

Ponky: *running* Puchki dekh, main tera bada bhai hoon, tu mujhe mar nahi sakti...

Puchki: *running behind him* Bada bhai, huh... Shut up... Tu mujhe bohot satata hai, aj batati hoon main tujhe, ruk tu...

They kept running around the dining table, and sometimes around Veer. He laughed seeing them like this after so many days. He had missed them.

Shailee came and saw their childishness. She kept the breakfast on the table and shouted.

SS: *loudly* Ye kya horaha hai?!.. Park hai ye, jo tumlog aise daur rahe ho?!... Aur Veeru, tu inn dono ko rokne ke bajay yaha khade hoke has raha hai?!.. Puchki, Ponky, ekdam shant...

They stopped and stood still, but kept glaring each other. Shailee saw this and pulled them by their ears. Veer covered his mouth to stop laughing at the scene.

Puchki: *whinning* Aahhh Mom, ahh lag rahi hai... Ouchh...

Ponky: Haa Shailee-maa, kaan chhoro plzz... Aahhh...

SS: *leaving their ears* Aur karoge aise ladaai?!...

Ponky/Puchki: Nahi...

SS: *smiling inwardly* Good, ab khane baitho... Veeru, tu bhi baith...

V: *controlling his laugh* Haa Mom...

Shailee served the breakfast to three of them, and they ate it while talking with each other. Then, Veer left for his office.

             ***********************
Veer entered the office and directly went towards Tapish's cabin. He had to talk to Tapish as soon as possible and solve his problem. He knocked on his cabin door, and he told him to come in. He went inside and sat on the couch. Tapish look on shocked at his brother seeing him coming in his cabin after knocking the door.

TS: *impressed* Kya baat hai, aj Veer Singhania knock karke andar aa raha hai...

V: *seriously* Tapish bhai, ab nahi plz.. I am already in so much confusion regarding my feelings....

Tapish understood that his brother was serious. He closed his file and went to sit beside him on the couch.

TS: Kya hua hai?! Bol...

V: I need your advice... Help me out of this situation...

TS: Regarding Bani?!..

V: *baffled* Aapko kaise malum?!...

TS: *smiling* I know... Tu bata khulke, kya hua hai tujhe...

Veer told Tapish everything in brief. He smiled and nodded once he was done saying.

TS: Main jo batane wala hoon I'm sure tu yakeen nahi karega... But still, you need to listen to me...

V: *confused* Kya?...

TS: *smiling* Tujhe Bani se pyaar ho gaya hai...

V: *shocked* WHATTTTT?!... No, it's impossible...

TS: I know you can't believe this because you never believed in love so fondly... But it is what it is...

V: *opposing him* Aisa bhi to ho sakta hai that it is just attraction, and you're naming it as love...

TS: *chuckling* You had said the same thing 15 years ago, when I told you that I am in love with Meera... So, I guess you know what I mean...

V: Bhai, aapka baat alag tha.. Aap Meera Di ko bachpan se jaante the, par mera case alag hai.. Sirf 1 mahine huye hai mujhe Bani ko jaane huye... How can this be love?!... Itne kam samay mein pyaar nahi hota...

TS: Ok fine... Maan liya maine ki ye pyaar nahi, sirf attraction hai... Ab tu mujhe kuch sawaalo ke jawaab de... Isse prove hojayega kaun sahi hai...

V: *confidently* Ok done...

TS: Jab Bani tere paas hota hai, kareeb hota hai, to kya tera dhadkan tez ho jata hai?!...

V: Haa, yeahh... If you are attracted to someone your heartbeats will increase if she is close to you, that's normal...

TS: *smiling at his stupid brother* Ok, next... When she is away from you, do you miss her terribly every second?!...

V: Yeahh...

TS: You like when she takes care of you and shows concern about every little thing of you?!...

V: Yeah, it makes me so happy...

TS: Jab wo khush hoti hai, to tujhe ek alag shanti milta hai...

V: Haaa, totally... I feel glad to see her happy and smiling... It leaves a smile on my face also...

TS: Jab use chot lagti hai ya dard hoti hai, to wo dard tu bhi mehsoos karta hai?!...

V: Haa, matlab I can't see her in pain... My heart aches to see her like that...

TS: Jab wo roti hai, to tere aankh mein bhi aansu aata hai, right??!...

V: *his confidence was slowly slipping away* Hmmm...

TS: *coolly* Ab tu hi bata, ye sab kya hai, kyun hota hai aisa?!...

V: *trying to remain fixed at his point* But, ek minute... This can be because of the attraction too, or maybe a little more than attraction... This is not necessarily love...

TS: *sighing* Achha... Ek baat bata, suppose maine tujhe kaha ke you can get all the money and power in this world if you leave Bani, and if you want Bani you will get no money and no power... What will you do??...

V: *instantly* I will chose Bani without any doubt... Because she knows me the most, and I can be myself around her without thinking of anything else... I stay happy with her, I feel contented when she's with me... This is not because of any love or attraction, this is just how our bonding is... It's a fact...

TS: (Ye ladka pagal hai?! Khud hi apne feelings ke baare mein keh raha hai, aur khud hi next second deny kar raha hai ke ise pyaar hai... Mmm, I should give it a last chance...) Ok I understand it.. This is the last question I am going to ask you.. This will prove everything..

V: Go on...

TS: Agar kabhi aisa situation aaye ke tujhe apni family aur Bani mein se kisi ek ko choose karna ho, to tu kise choose karega?!...

V: *frown* Ye kaisa question hai Tapish bhai... This is impossible for me to answer, I can't answer this...

TS: I don't know, you have to answer...

V: *after thinking for sometime* Umm actually ye question hi galat hai... See, I can't choose between Bani and my family, because Bani will also fall on the side of my family...

Tapish smiled inwardly seeing that his plan was working.

TS: Kuch bhi bol raha hai tu... Bani kaise tere family ke side pe aa sakta hai??!..

V: Why not?! She is my wife, so obviously she is a part of my family...

TS: This is not possible Veer...

V: Kyun?!...

TS: Because you love your family...

V: Yeah, so what... I love my family, and I also love Ba...

Veer stopped, as realisation dawned upon him. He now understood what Tapish was exactly talking about. Suddenly, everything became so simple for him. All the feelings- the attraction, the uneasiness, the peace after talking with her, the relief in her hugs and kisses, the giddy feeling when she was close; everything now started making sense. Tapish's each and every word was now becoming crystal clear to him. His heart overflowed with happiness and joy, and a wide smile broke on his face as he finally absorbed the feeling. He was in love with her...

V: *elated* I love her... I love Bani... I love my Sweetheart... *looking at Tapish* Tapish bhai, I am in love...

TS: *smiling* Yeah, you are...

Veer hugged him, and he patted his back. He stood up and walked to and fro in the cabin, not knowing what to do. He was feeling a rush of emotions, but he didn't know how to express them. He felt like he would burst in happiness. Tapish smiled at his brother and made him sit. Veer kept smiling like an idiot.

TS: *chuckling* Thik hai Veer, thik hai... I understand you are happy, but aise has mat... You look creepy...

V: *making a straight face*Haa, yeah right... But, I can't believe that I am in love... *smile*

TS: Sach mein dhal jaate hai kisse,
Dil se dohrane ke baad..
Ishq pe hoga yakeen,
Ishq hojane ke baad...

V: *understanding* True.. Maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ke mujhe pyaar hoga, kyunki mujhe yakeen hi nahi tha pyaar pe... Par, aj samajh aa raha hai log kyun pyaar karte hai... It's a heavenly feeling...

TS: *smiling* Hume bohot dino se pata tha... Jaise tu Bani ko dekhta rehta hai, it was clear that you are in love.. Aj tujhe bhi samajh aagaya, finaalllyyyy...

V: *thinking* But, does she love me?!..

TS: Tujhe pata hona chahiye ye baat...

V: I think she does...But if she doesn't, I will make her fall in love with me... I will make you want to be with me Bani...

TS: Anyways, tu kab batane wala hai Bani ko?!...

V: After these 2 months get over Tapish bhai... Aur 2 weeks ki hi to baat hai.. Uske baad, I will confess my feelings in front of her...

TS: *smiling* Good.. I am so happy for you both...

V: *giving him a quick hug* Yeah...

TS: Veer, ek baat sun... Ye baat humesha dhyan rakhna... Your kind of love is different from my kind... My kind of love is peaceful and poetic, but your kind of love is chaotic and passionate... Matlab, the chaotic amd passionate side of love is dominant in your case and the peaceful and poetic side is submissive, and in my case it's vice versa... Ye main tujhe isliye bata raha hoon, because you have seen me loving someone for last 15 years and you might think your love will be like that only, which is not the case... You need to let your love be how it is, only then you will be able to enjoy it... Aur ek baat, kabhi apne feelings ko khudko control karne mat dena... You should always control your feelings, you should not let your feelings control you... Varna, problem ho jayega...

V: Ok bhai, I will keep these things in mind... Achha, ab main chalta hoon, kaam hai kuch... Sham ke meeting ka presentation check karna hai..

TS: Ok jaa...

Veer smiled at his brother and left the cabin. Tapish was happy that his brother had finally found the love of his life. He smiled thinking that and went back to his desk.

            ************************
Veer didn't call her in the evening as promised. He had decided to surprise her by going to meet her at her house. He was elated after realising that he was in love, and wanted to see Bani once, and thus he decided that.

He had a meeting in the late evening. The meeting ended at 9, and he came out of the office after meeting with the client for one last time. He sat in his car, and drove off towards her house. On the way, he thought to buy some flowers for his mother-in-law and his love.

He saw a florist shop and was going to stop his car there when a lady came in front of his car suddenly. He applied the brake in hurry to save her. He quickly got out of the car and went to see if she was okay. She looked at him and smiled. Veer realised that she was drunk. He asked if she was alright, but she hugged him all of a sudden. He was startled at that. She introduced herself as one of his old classmates. He smiled and nodded, though in real he couldn't even recognise her. She forced him to come with her to her apartment, which was situated right at the corner of the road. She pulled him along with her and took him inside. He smiled fakely and tried to find a way to go from there asap. She offered him a glass of cold drinks, and he gulped it down at one go. He was almost ready to leave, when she suddenly passed out in his arms while talking to him. He became nervous. He carried her till her room and made her lay on the bed, and left from there after closing the main door.

He breathed a sigh of relief after coming out. He walked to the florist shop and saw a cute get well soon bouquet on display. He bought that for his mother-in-law. He also bought a beautiful carnation and rose bouquet for his wife.

He didn't know why, but he started feeling a little tipsy. He ignored it and sat in his car and started for her home.

           **********************
Veer reached the Tejvini Villa and came out of his car. He was feeling excited to meet her after one day. He pressed the bell, and Bani opened the door after few seconds. She was totally surprised seeing him. She was going to hug him, but before that Veer handed him the bouquet.

V: Ye Sasuma ke liye...

B: *smiling* How sweeet.. Par Maa abhi so rahi hai... Koi nahi, main ye rakh dungi unke room mein...

V: *awkward* Umm, can I use the washroom of your room?!...

B: Yeah sure, go... Aane se pehle room lock karke aana..

V: Okay...

He ran upstairs in a hurry. Bani felt that he was hiding something behind him, but shrugged her shoulders not knowing what it was. She touched her neck and thought, "Veer ne notice nahi kiya?!...". She sighed sadly and went to the kitchen to make something for him.

Veer came down after few minutes, and went to the kitchen hearing sounds from there. He saw her busy in chopping cilantro. He smiled and gave her a side hug. She looked at him and responded happily. He looked at her and realised that she was looking different. It was then that he noticed the sindoor and mangalsutra adorning her. He looked at her, happy and confused at the same time.

V: Ye sab kya hai Sweetheart?!... Sindoor, mangalsutra, achanak se?!...

B: *happy that he noticed* Wo Maa ne kaha that I was not looking like a married woman, isliye... Sindoor to main pehnti thi baalon ke andar, but Maa wanted to see me like this.. Aur fir parso Tapish bhai aur Meera di ki anniversary hai, waha bhi ye pehnke jaana chahiye.. So I brought the mangalsutra from the Farmhouse today, and wore it... Maa ki khushi le liye... Ghar jaake phirse utar dungi, I hope you don't have a problem with that..*chuckling*

V: *coolly* Tumhari marzi Gharwali... Tumhe jo karna hai karo, I can never have a problem with that...

B: *hiding her blush* So sweet...

V: *holding his head* Umm, Bani can you give me a glass of lemonade... I feel a little tipsy... Aj ek classmate ke saath mulaqat hogaya tha, she forcefully took me to her home and offered me colddrink... Wo peene ke baad se hi I am feeling uneasy... Arre, I couldn't even recognise her... Main nikalne wala tha waha se ki she passed out... She was drunk... I made her sleep in her room and came out hurriedly... Kuch bhi yaar...

B: *chuckling* Maybe it was not colddrink, something was mixed in it.. Tum ruko, main abhi bana deti hoon...

Veer opened his coat and kept it on the stool. He folded his sleeves and started chopping the veggies for her. She went and made the lemonade for him and gave him the glass. He gulped it down and made a face.

V: *weirdly* Why did it taste like this?!...

B: *casually* Usme kachhe ande the...

V: *shocked* What?! Did you just make me drink lemonade with raw eggs?!...

B: Yeah... It will help you to get over the hangover very quickly...

V: *frown* Kya kya karna parta hai tumhare liye...

B: *laugh* Lol...

V: *smiling* By the way, ek sach batau??..

B: *looking at him* Batao...

V: *holding her hand* Tumhe aise dekhke mujhe lag raha hai ke tum, ke tum ab meri ho... Mera adha ang, ardhangini..

She blushed and looked at their hands hearing that. He took out her simple gold ring from the ring finger of her left hand, and slided it in the ring finger of his own right hand. He showed the finger to her and smiled. The ring was a little tight for him, but it looked good on his finger. She was surprised at this adorable act of his.

V: *smiling* Ab main hogaya tumhara, pura, haq se... Wo kya hai ki pyaar ek tarfa hota hai par shaadi nahi, it's a two way sweetheart...

B: *blushing and looking away* Pagal..

V: *whispering* Tumhare liye...

Bani turned to look at him, but he was quicker to act. He acted like he was busy looking at the ring. She turned back and scolded herself in her mind thinking that she had heard wrong. Veer smiled inwardly seeing her baffled.

She kept blushing while making the soup for him. He hummed some song and stood beside her resting his back on the kitchen slab. Bani poured the soup in the bowl and gave him that. He smilingly took it and had a spoonful. He showed with his fingers that it was awesome, and she smiled. Just then, Mishti came down in the kitchen.

Mish: Didia...*seeing Veer* Oh, hi Jiju...

V: *looking at her surprised* Hii, Mishti right?!..

Mish: Yeah.. Mehek Arora, but nickname Mishti... Hehe...

V: Nice.. Tum yaha?!..

Mish: Haa, aj main didia ke saath yaha rehne wali hoon, bohottt dino baad...

V: Good good...

Mish: Didia, aapki room locked hai...

B: Haa, kyunki tu waha ghuste hi sab tehes nehes kar degi... Main jaungi jab, tab mere saath andar jaana tu...

Mish: *awkward* Okk... Jiju, bye haa, main upar hoon...

V: *smiling* Ok bye...

Mishti smiled at him and went upstairs. Veer looked at Bani sadly.

B: Kya hua?! Aisa muh kyu bana rahe ho?!...

V: Aj raat baat nahi hogi?!...

B: *going aww at his cuteness* Nahi hogi, sorry... Kal main waise bhi wapas jaa hi rahi hoon Cutu...

V: *pulling her closer* I will miss you...

B: *raising her eyebrows* Aj kya hua hai tumhe?! Flirt mode pe ho kya?!..

V: *smirk* Haa... Start karu?!..

B: *hiding her blush* Nahi...

V: Kitni boring ho tum...

B: *chuckling* Thanks...

He kept the bowl in the sink and looked at his watch to realise that it was his time to leave. He sighed and looked at her.

V: Ghar jaane ka time horaha hai, par jaane ka mann nahi hai.. Ruk jau??..

B: *going closer to him* Nahi... Ghar jao Veer... Mumma wait kar rahi hongi...

V: Bhaga rahi ho?!...

B: *smile* Nahi... Samjhake bhej rahi hoon...

V: *sigh* Ok fine... Jaata hoon... Bye, take care..

B: *annoyed* Of your Sasuma?! Yeah I will...

V: *cupping her face* Of my wife, of my Sweetheart, of my Gharwali... *wink*

B: *blushing inwardly* Nahi rakhungi khayal... Kya kar loge?!..

V: *pulling her closer sternly* Uthake abhi ghar le jaunga...

B: *laughing and stopping him* Achha achha ok... Rakhungi khayal... Happy?! Jao ab...

Veer smiled at her and wore his coat. He went out, and she went behind her. He was going to enter his car when Bani pulled him, gave him a quick hug, and a kiss on his cheek.

B: I will miss you...

V: *kissing on her forehead* Will miss you too... Meet you tomorrow... Kal main pick karne aaunga, ok?!... Bye...

B: *smiling* Ok, bubye... Take care...

Veer got in the driver seat and waved bye to her. She waved back and he drove off. She smiled sadly and went inside.

                ********************
Bani unlocked her room and entered in. She was about to settle on the bed when the bouquet caught her attention. She looked at it being confused and picked it up. A dairy milk silk chocolate was kept under it. She picked it up too. She saw a note hidden inside the bouquet, and took it out. It read: "Beautiful flowers and sweet chocolates for my ever beautiful Sweetheart". She blushed at the cute note and kept it safely inside her purse.

Mishti entered the room and saw Bani standing with a bouquet and smiling widely. She went near her and patted on her shoulder.

Mish: Kya hai?! Ye Jiju ne diya hai?!...

B: *concealing her smile* Haa...

Mish: Aww, how romantic... *seeing the chocolate* Wowwww Didia, our favourite chocolate... Yayy, Jiju is the best... We will share it and eat ok?!...

B: *snatching the chocolate from her hand* Bilkul bhi nahi... Ye meri hai... Tujhe khana hai to fridge se ek lele, ye wala nahi milega...

Mish: Arre ek chocolate hi to hai... Kya yaar, Didia...

B: Maine kaha na, nahi... Ye sirf aur sirf meri hai...

Mish: Huh, ok fine...

She went and played the fm on the speaker. The RJ was talking then. Bani looked at her irritated.

B: Kya kar rahi hai tu Mishti?!...

Mish: Didia, this is my fav radio show.. Iss show mein bohot achhe achhe gaane bajate hai, plz plz let it be on...

B: *smile* Ok fine...

Bani held the bouquet at an angle and quickly took a picture of it. She posted it as her WhatsApp status with a sweet caption.

She kept her mobile on the table and settled on the bed with the bouquet. Mishti sat on the chair, and a song came up on the fm.

Veer was driving his car and thinking of her smile continuously. He decided to listen to some music and switched on the fm. The channel was the same as what Bani was listening to. The same song started playing in his car.

Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
(Veer smiled understanding the song, whereas Bani frowned)

Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
Do char din se lagta hai jaise,
Sabkuch alag hai sabkuch naya hai
Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
(Bani listened to the lyrics and found her condition relatable. Veer smiled knowing what the lyrics meant)
Cheezein main rakhke bhul jaati hoon,
Bekhayali mein gungunati hoon,
Ab akele mein muskurati hoon,
Badli huyi si, meri adaa hai..
Kuch to hua hai, kuch hogaya hai..
(Bani tried to ignore the song but couldn't. Veer started humming the song himself)

Bani got down from the bed and went towards the speaker. She switched off the speaker and threw her earphones at Mishti. Mishti frowned at her sister and plugged in the earphones. She again got back on the bed and sat with her bouquet. She kept smelling the flowers, and thinking of him.

Veer kept hearing the song and humming it. He could relate to the song, now that he knew he was in love. The romantic songs kept playing one after another, and he drove happily listening to those songs.

             ************************
At night, Bani called Veer to wish him Goodnight.

B: Veer, thanks for the bouquet... It's so beautiful... And also for the chocolate, it's my favourite...

V: I know the bouquet is beautiful, but not more than you... And the chocolate is your favourite, but you're my favourite...*smiling*

B: *blushing* Ok, stop being so cute..

V: *sweetly* Can't... My name says Cutu, so it's not at all possible for me to stop being cute...

B: *blushing profusely* Achha ok, hogaya ab... Mishti kabhi bhi aajayegi, so byee...

V: Goodnight Sweetheart...

B: Goodnight..

V: *making a sound to depict No* Mhm...

B: Kya?! oh... *smiling* Goodnight Cutu...

V: *happily* Yeahh good... Byee...

B: *smile*  Bubye...

Bani cut the call and smiled. Veer sighed happily and wore his airpods. He played a song in his mobile, and opened her picture. The picture was taken by him at her flat without her notice.

He smilingly looked at her picture and hummed the lyrics of the song.

Kahin ye tere dil se to chhup chhup ke milta nahi...
Nahi to mere seene se ye dil nikalta nahi...
