"Mera heera beta tu
Chand ka ek tukra tu
Mere dil ka dhadkan tu
Maa ka sabse pyara tu"
Veer was going through his old belongings when he found this, the handwritten poem that his mother gifted him on his 15th birthday. Veer smiled reading the poem, and kept it neatly inside his diary.

Anyone would laugh if someone told them that The Veeranshu Singhania, The Iron-hearted Man, The CEO of Mercury Industries, had a habit of diary-writing. He himself would laugh thinking this.
Yes, he really had a habit of maintaining a diary. He never forgot to come to his room after dinner everyday and write in his diary before going to sleep. Ever since he started writing full sentences, this had been his constant. His mother taught him to write about his day in a diary. He had been doing this regularly for about 19 years, until one day when it stopped. After that, no one ever found that old Veer again. After that day, he became Veeranshu Singhania, the stone hearted man. Everything changed about him, except for one thing- the love for his family.

But today, it was different. Veeranshu felt the urge of writing diary once again, after 3 damn years. He tried a lot to control himself; but unable to do so, he finally searched his old shelf, took out a comparatively fresh diary, and sat in his study table with a pen and the diary.

Veer tried to think about his day, and only one thought came in his mind: Bani. As expected... Veeranshu have heard this particular name at least 200 times from the moment they have returned from that "something something" Villa. Yes, he didn't remember its name, because to be honest he didn't like remembering the mere unimportant things in his life.
But, does that mean Bani was important, and that's why you remembered her so exactly??, his heart questioned him.
No, not at all.. It's just that I am hearing her name so much, that's why her thoughts are bothering me, Veer reasoned.

"Matlab hadd hai... Jabse ghar aaya hoon, sab sirf ek hi naam dohra rahe hai: Bani, Bani, and Bani... Puchki aur Doky to chup hone ka naam hi nahi le raha... Maine dinner ke time agar ek aur bar unn ke muh se Bani ka naam suna, to sach keh raha hoon unn dono ko uss Bani ke ghar pack karke bhej dunga....
Meera bhabhi, jo ki humesha chupchap sehmi hui rehti hai, wo bhi aj Hall mein baithke Tapish bhai aur Ponky ke saath baat kiye jaa rahi hai, Topic: Bani (obviously)... Kuch to baat hai iss larki mein; par mujhe kya, mujhe koi fark nahi parta.. shaadi thori na ho rahi hai... Kuch der main wo call karke mana bhi kar degi.... Thank Goddd!!!!"

Truth to be told, Veer had no problem with Bani in particular. Rather, Veer had a slight thought that Bani had something unique in her. Only if he accepted...

His main problem lied with the concept of love, relationships and marriages. Veer was only 5 years old when he saw his favourite chachi go away leaving Daksh and Ponky in their house. He didn't understand much then; but the scene of Daksh crying uncontrollably standing at the doorstep, trying to call and reach out to his mother, telling her to take him along with her, and Veer's mom trying hard to control Daksh made Veer to believe that his chachi was really bad and heartless. As years passed, Veer grew up and understood that the bad woman left his chachu because of another man, and his chachu not being able to take the heartbreak went abroad leaving everyone. Unlike everyone else in the family who blamed both his chachu and that woman equally, Veer believed that the bad woman was the one mostly responsible for everything that happened. Maybe he thought like this because he had seen Daksh suffer his whole childhood only for that woman. The scenes of Daksh's sufferings still gave chills to Veer. That's why, despite being only 2 years older than Daksh, he had always treated him as his son, and the same goes with Ponky. Ponky and Doky were like his own child.

Veer remembered how Daksh had forgotten smiling after his mom left. Veenisha was the reason behind Daksh coming back to normal again. The day Veenisha was born, Daksh went to meet his Shailee-maa inside the OT to see if she was okay. Daksh had a fear that his Shailee-maa would also leave him like his own mother, and he was crying the whole time thinking this, hugging his Paa(Balwant). The moment the operation theatre's light went off and Doctor came out to say that they can meet her now, Daksh rushed inside. He saw his Shailee-maa was completely fine, but what surprised him was that there was a little baby in her hands. Daksh went near her, and touched her slightly with his index finger, and that baby opened her eyes a little. Daksh smiled happily, he fell in instant love with his little baby sister. That day onwards, Daksh was again back to his normal self. Being with Puchki made him completely forget his mother and father. And till date, for both Daksh and Ponky, Shailee-maa and Papa are their real parents.

From that time, Veer had a bitter feeling about the concept of marriage. With passing years, this feeling was fading away and his faith in love was restoring. But, something terrible happened few years back that shattered Veeranshu and made all his faith in love vanish. His bitter feeling about love, relationships, and marriages came back again, but this time with 10 times more intensity. This time, Veer decided that he will never get into any relationship or never fall in love again, and marriage - absolutely not, never... But seems like God has some other plans, that's why his mother did this with him and convinced him for getting married.
Thanks to him that he got this idea yesterday about how to skip this marriage without having to break his promise.

~Flashback~
~~ Veer was thinking how to skip this marriage when his mother's words rang in his ears..
"Main tujhe force kar sakti hoon, uss ladki ko nahi...."
Veer thought, "Maa ne kaha usse force nahi kar sakti, iss ka matlab ye shaadi ka decision puri tarah sirf uss ladki par depend karta hai... Wowwww...
Thanks Mom for saying this... Aap use force nahi kar sakti, par main to kar hi sakta hoon, na kehne ko...."
Veer made up his mind to ask her to tell no to this wedding ~~

Wow, not again...
"Mere thoughts ghum fir kar uss Bani pe aa kar hi kyun atak raha hai... Oh Goddd!!"
Veer shook his head trying to erase Bani's thought from his mind, and opened his diary.

The first few pages of the diary had some scribblings about different song lyrics. On the page dated 30th April, the last used page of this diary, it was written:
Tumhe badalne ko
                          Paas woh aati hai...
Tumhe mitane ko
                         Chal bichati hai...
Baato baato mein, tumhe fasati hai
    Pehle hasati hai, fir bada rulati hai....
Ladki kyon, na jaane kyon
                    Ladkon si nahi hoti ??
And there were tear stains on that page.

Veer smiled faintly at the memory....

He was going to turn the page, when suddenly his mother barged inside his room.
Veer stood up and went towards his Mom, buf before he could ask anything, his Mom put a whole laddoo inside his mouth...
SS: Baat baad mein karna, pehle muh mitha kar..
Veer somehow ate the laddoo, rather gulped it, and asked,
V: Kya hua kya hai Mom?! Itni khushi kis baat ki??... Ponky ko campusing mein job mil gaya kya?
SS: Nahi, wo kya hai na, mera Veeru ka shaadi pakka hogaya... Bani ka call aya tha, usne shaadi ke liye haa kardi hai...
Veer could not believe his ears. How could she do this?...
Shailee hugged his son and left to distribute sweets among others.

One after another, the others started coming to congratulate him. Veenisha, Daksh and Ponky came running in his room.
Veeni: Bhaiya Bhaiya Bhaiya... Thankyou so so much.. I love youuu so much. Thanksss for getting Bani bhabhi as my bhabhi, she is soooo sweet. Thankss bhaiya...congrats...
DS: sach mein... Bani bhabhi is the ideal one for you Veer bhai.. Congratulations. *hug*
Ponky: Congratulations bhaiya.. Main abhi tak Bhabhi se nahi mila, par inn dono se sunke hi pata chal raha hai ki Bhabhi bohot amazingggg hai... *Hug*
They left fighting with each other about who's gonna be Bani's favourite.
Tapish Meera and Balwant also came and congratulated Veer. Tapish gave his phone to Veer, Barun and Bhavani were waiting on the other side to congratulate Veer.

All this while, Veer stood there with an expressionless face. That girl is an idiot.. Maine na kehne ko kaha, aur usne haa keh diya...

After everyone left, Veer locked his room and came and sat in his study table. He was going to get married in few days, the thing he hated the nost in his life.

Veer opened his diary again, and turned to the page dated 1st May. He laughed at the irony; his wrote diary for the last time on 30th April few years back, and today is 1st May when he is going to start diary writing again. What a coincidence..
Veeranshu took his black pen, and wrote there:
Sochti hai zyada
         Kam wo samajhti hai...
Dil kuch kehta hai
         Kuch aur hi karti hai...
Ladki kyon, na jaane kyon,
         Ladkon si nahi hoti??????

Was it really a coincidence?! No one knows...
Maybe, it was his destiny...
