~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ek din kabhi jo, khud ko tarashe,
Meri nazar se tu zara, haaye re..

Bani woke up hearing her favourite song playing softly in the room. She looked around and found Veer sitting on the couch and smiling at her while sipping his tea. She flashed a sweet smile at him.

V: Good morning Sweetheart...

B: *smile* Good morning Cutu... Aj lagta hai din bohot achha jayega... Tumne subah subah mera favourite gaana jo bajaya hai...

V: *stopping the song* Thikhai phir, har roz baja dunga...

Bani shook her head smiling, and went to freshen up. After about half-an-hour, she came out of the washroom drying her hair with a towel. Veer was on the couch working on his laptop. He looked up at her and got mesmerised seeing her in a full sleeved yellow kurta. She was wearing the jhumkas in front of the mirror, and looked so beautiful.

She noticed him through the mirror. She saw him staring at her and blushed. But when he didn't stop staring even after few seconds, she frowned and turned.

B: Ghoor kyun rahe ho?!...

V: Excuse me?!...

B: *folding her hands near her chest* Not excused... Maine dekha waha se, kaise tum mujhe ghoor rahe the... Explain yourself...

V: *defending himself* Main tumhe nahi ghoor raha tha, main to bas dekh raha tha ke mirror ganda hogaya hai, saaf karna parega...

B: *raising her eyebrows* Achha??!!..

V: Haaa bilkul... *smirk* Kyun, tumhe bura laga ki main tumhe na dekhke mirror ke dhul ko dekh raha tha?!...

B: *annoyed* Youuuu....

She picked up a cushion from the couch and started hitting him with that. He shifted his laptop on the table and started defending himself from her hits, but she managed to hit him here and there a several times. Finally, he snatched the cushion and threw it away, and held her hands in a tight grip. He was almost leaning back on the armrest of the couch, and due to the sudden pull, she also fell on him. She instantly kept her hands on his chest to maintain a minimum distance and to get a support, and his hand went to her back as a reflex. He smirked at her, and she frowned back.

V: Ek baat batao, maar kyun rahi ho?! Iss baat pe gussa ho ke maine tumse zyada uss mirror ko importance diya ya iss baat pe ke maine tumhe notice nahi kiya?!...

B: (Haa, sach mein!!.. Main ise maar kyun rahi hoon?!...Mujhe kis baat se itna farak pad raha hain?!.. Kya pata...) Nahi, mujhe bas aise hi mann hua tumhe maarne ka, isliye maar rahi hoon...

V:*smirk* (Smart, Gharwali...) Keh bhi do ke tumhe mere ignorance se farak pad raha hai?!...

B: Huh?!*mock laugh* Kuch bhi.. Tum raho apne imaginary duniya mein, mere paas itna time nahi hai..Chhoro...

V: *showing his both hands and smirking* Maine tumhe pakda hi nahi hai, tum khud ruki huyi ho...

She opened and closed her mouth, unable to form any reply seeing his smartness. She moved back, and in the process, her hair strands got stuck in his bracelet. She whimpered in pain feeling a tug on her hair.

B: *holding her hair* Oww... Urghh...

V: *making her sit* Oops, e-ek minute, shanti se baitho...

Veer slowly opened the bracelet from his hand. She kept looking at him as he tried to remove her hair strands from his bracelet. He caught her staring at him and smiled. He stopped himself from looking at her because she was looking too adorable while staring at him, and he doubted that he might do something that he would regret later. Thus he concentrated on her hair, and successfully separated it from the bracelet after few failed attempts. He clicked his fingers in front of her and she came back to reality. He smiled showing him his free bracelet. She realised what she has been doing until now and turned away embarassed. He laughed inwardly.

She was about to get up but he pulled her back on the couch and quickly brought a comb and her hair serum. He made her turn in a way that her back was facing him. He pumped out some serum in his palms and started applying it on her hair ends. Bani got startled at his act.

B: *trying to turn* Veer, kya kar rahe ho?!... Arre, main khud kar lungi...

V: Why?!... Oh ok, you don't want me to touch your hair... *stopping* Fine, I am sorry...

B: A-arre maine aisa kab kaha?!... Oh god, tum itna kyun sochte ho!!!...

Veer smiled at his success.
V: *making her turn properly* Haa to bas, chupchap baithi raho... I have seen you applying this serum everyday, and I pretty well know how to apply it.. Baal dekhe hai apne?! It's so tangled... Apne aap karne jaogi to time lagegi, fir jaane mein late ho jayegi...Isliye, mujhe karne do... I will do it faster and gentler...

Bani was touched by the amount of care and concern he showed towards her. He was like her guardian angel for whom she had been waiting since long. The way he noticed every little thing about her and remembered them perfectly made her feel so secured and special. He never failed to amaze her with his solicitude towards her... She smiled and sat relaxing as he combed her hair gently.

B: Veer, tum bhi chalo na humare sath Angel's Home...Sab bohot khush honge tumhe dekhke...

V: *while combing* Nahi Sweetheart, aj nahi hoga... Office ke kuch kaam hai, wo complete karunga jab tumlog nahi hoge... Kyunki Mom ke hote huye to kaam nahi kar sakta main... She has a strict rule: "Kaam ko kaam ke jagah khatam karke hi ghaar aana hai..."... Now if she comes to know that I have been working even in home in these two months, she will bury me alive... To, Mom ke naa hote huye hi I need to check all the pending files...

B: *giggling* Tum Mumma se bohot darte ho, nahi?!...

V: Not really... Actually I don't like to disobey her directly on her face... Dad ko, I can challenge him and fight to get something, but Mom ke saath it's different... I just can't bring myself to not listen to her words, maybe it's because I just love her too much... Isliye, matlab, tum samajh rahi ho na?!..

B: Yeah yeah I get it... *sad* Tum aate to achha hota... Mumma was planning to take me to some restaurant, maine mana kiya but wo nahi maani... You could have come with us too... *getting an idea* Achha, aisa kar sakte ho tum, kaam hojane ke baad you can join us directly for lunch...Yeah, Veer, ye sahi hai...

V: *smiling at her thoughts* Aisa nahi hoga Sweetheart, I am not sure if I will be able to complete my work so soon... Aj tum dono enjoy karo, I will go out for lunch with you some other day, for sure... Ok??...

B: Arreee yaar, Veer... *sigh* Ok fine, but I will send your lunch from the restaurant... Plz do have it...

Shailee came to call Veer and Bani for breakfast, but when she saw Veer combing and styling Bani's hair while talking, she smiled and went away happily.

V: *smile* Ok fine.. Bhej dena... *giving her the comb* Ye lo, it's done...

Bani smiled and ran to check herself in the mirror. She saw the hairstyle and turned towards Veer.

[Just an example of the hairstyle]

B: *happily* Wow, this is sooo pretty Veer... Thankyou so muchhhh...

V: Aa-uh, thankyou se kaam nahi chalega, return gift chahiye mujhe...

B: Kya chahiye?!...

V: *wiping his lips* Kiss...

Bani's eyes widened in shock.
V: *smile inwardly* I mean, *pointing his cheek* kiss...

B: *awkward* A-aa I think M-Mumma bula rahi hai... Bye...*hiding her blush*

She ran out of the room and Veer gave his signature laugh.

               *********************
After breakfast, Shailee and Bani were ready to leave for Angel's Home. Shailee had praised Bani about her hairstyle, but didn't reveal to her that she had seen who had done it. Shailee went out to sit in the car after bidding bye to Veer. Bani was about to go to her room to bring her bag and mobile, but just then Veer offered her bag to her. She smiled gratefully and took her bag from his hand.

V: I know larkiyon ke bag mein haath dena sahi nahi hai... But maine fir bhi tumhari bag kholke usme ek water bottle, tumhari mobile, powerbank, aur airpods rakh diye hai... Ek mini sipper mein lemon mint water hai, wo peete rehna, it's needed for your body now... And, kuch chocolates bhi rakh diye hai, mann ho to kha lena...

Bani went aww over his care. She hugged him tightly and placed a kiss on his cheek.
B: You are absolutely aww-dorable... *pulling his cheeks* Such a Cutu... *smile* Bye... Take care...

V: *smile* Bye, and you too take care...

Bani waved at him and went out. Veer smiled at her retreating figure and rubbed the back of his neck thinking about the hug, and went upstairs smiling.

              **********************
Shailee and Bani went to Angel's Home. Bani made Shailee meet the kids. The kids could not be very free around Shailee at first, but when they learnt that she was Veer's mom, they got excited and got habituated with her in no time. Shailee was surprised seeing them praising Veer and waiting for him so eagerly. She smiled, she was happy for Bani and Veer. They spent their time with the children and then went to have lunch at a renowned restaurant.

Veer, on the other side, completed checking all the files and also prepared the documents for the upcoming projects. He checked his emails and replied to the important ones. He was replying to one last email when the bell rang. He looked at the time and instantly knew who it was. He went down and accepted the food package from the food delivery guy. A small note was attached to the package which said: "Hope you enjoy the food... Let me know how it was... - Señorita ;) ".

He smiled at the note and kept it safely in his pocket. He brought a plate from the kitchen, served the food, and had his lunch. The lunch was truly delicious. He cleaned the table and went back to his room and thought of texting his Sweetheart.

Bani and Shailee were in the car after the lunch, going somewhere. Shailee was busy in a call. Suddenly, Bani's mobile beeped and a smile came on her face. She opened the whatsapp, and saw that Veer had texted her, just as she expected.. She happily replied to him.

She stared at the picture and blushed. He looked a little too adorable in that picture. She quickly changed her WhatsApp background picture into his picture and smiled seeing how good it was looking. She then realised that he was waiting for her reply, and typed something quickly.

She kept her mobile back in the bag, and smiled. But soon, a thought crossed her mind, "Has he not seen the note with the food package?!... Why did he not talk about it even once?!...".. She realised that it must have fallen away while delivering and had not reached it. She sighed and turned to Shailee to talk with her.

Veer closed the whatsapp tab and opened the music app in his mobile. He played the song Shaayraana and laid down on the bed keeping the mobile on the bedside table.

Aj dil shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana lagta hai..
Aj dil shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana lagta hai...
(He smiled as he recalled how he had changed ever since he realised his love for his Sweetheart)
Udta fire dil, utarna jaane na,
Aj dil shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana lagta hai...
Bigda hua dil, sambhalna jaane na,
Aj dil shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana lagta hai...
(It was as if his heart always jumped in happiness whenever she was around. He closed his eyes relating to the lyrics)

Jagah jagah dhunde tujhe
Tujhko dhunde khayalo mein,
Jaha jaha sayaa tera
Chaahe rehna wahi..
(He missed Bani now, and wished to see her in front of him soon again)
Ooo, Jagah jagah dekhe tujhe
Chahaton ke hawalo mein
Jahan jahan paaye tujhe
Bhule jannat wahi..
(He remembered how he had missed Bani terribly when she had gone to her parents' house, and how he felt at peace after meeting her there)
Aj dil shaayraana shaayraana... Oo aj dil shaayraana shaayraana, shaayraana lagta hai...
(He smiled and kept thinking about Bani)

....music....
(He recalled how they used to prank and trouble each other during the initial days of their marriage, amd chuckled)

Subah dhunda, pukara tujhe sham sham sham sham ko,
Sham sham sham sham ko..
Khud se zyada, liya hai tere naam naam naam naam ko,
Naam naam naam naam ko..
(He realised that nowadays he tried to find Bani everywhere and related every small things with her)
Meri baaton mein tera,
Aana jaana lagta hai..
Hai yahi ishqana ishqana ishqana ishqana ishqana lagta hai..
Aj dil shaayraana, yeah mmm
Mm lagta hai...
(He realised that nowadays almost all of his conversations included Bani, and even if it didn't, he himself would bring up the topic of Bani. He smiled feeling this new sensation of love)

....music....
(He thought about their cute moments at her apartment, in their farmhouse kitchen, and how they were comfortable with each other since the very beginning)

Tum khamoshi, tumhi ho meri baat baat baat baat bhi,
Baat baat baat baat bhi..
Tanha bhi ho, tumhi ho mere saath saath saath saath bhi,
Saath saath saath saath bhi..
(He realised how much she had got entangled with him in these two months that now his each and every thing somehow got related to her)
Dil ye rom mein,
Ye begaana lagta hai..
Ye bada sahibana sahibana sahibana sahibana sahibana lagta hai..
Yaar dil shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana shaayraana lagta hai...
(He smiled and told, "I Love you so much Sweetheart..")

He stopped the music and kept the mobile back as sleep overtook him. He slept while thinking about the love his life, his wife, his Bani.

            **********************
At about 6:40pm, Veer was in the kitchen making coffee from himself when someone covered his eyes with one hand and hugged his neck with the other hand. Veer instantly knew who it was, there was only one person who would hug him in such a weird way... He held her hand which was around his neck and removed it.

V: Bandar, I know it's you baby...

She groaned angrily and moved back. Veer turned towards her and smiled.

P: Bhaiyya, aapko humesha kaise pata chal jata hai?!...

V: *smile* Because I know my Gudiya very well... Sirf Puchki hi aise mujhe gale se hug karti hai...
[So, the person is none other than Puchki]

Puchki: *frown* I need to change my way of hugging you...

V: *chuckling* Tu jo chahe karle, I will always recognise you... Mujhe apne Pikachu ko pehchanna achhe se aata hai...

Puchki giggled and jumped on Veer.
Puchki: I love you bhaiyya...

V: I hate you Gudiya...

Veer laughed as Puchki smacked his arm. He carried her to the hall and put her down there. Bani had just entered the hall then. She smiled at them and kept a bag down in the sofa. Veer got confused seeing the bag.

V: Ye bag?! Kiska hai?!...

Puchki: Meri hai bhaiyya..

V: *baffled* Matlab?!...

SS: *while entering* Puchki aj se Wednesday tak yaha rahegi humare saath...

V: (Oh Shit... Whyyy!!!... Mumma ko maine bulaya tha, par unke saath ye aafat bhi free mein aayegi ye to mujhe malum nahi tha... Urghh, mera romance shuru nahi hua par romance ke dushman aana shuru hogaye... Why are my all plans getting backfired these days?!!...) Kyun, achanak se?!..

Puchki: Ponky ke exams hai iss week, isliye wo aur Daksh bhai apne flat pe rahenge... Aur main yaha aplogo ke saath...*running to Bani* bhabhi aur main bohot maaze karenge, aur apko tang karenge...

V: *uninterested* Wo to tu humesha karti hai..Mom, Bani, coffee peeyogi?!...

SS: Nahi Veeru, abhi nahi... I need to freshen up now....

B: Doodh wali coffee?!..

V: Nope, my special black coffee...

B: *smile* Please mere liye ek cup...

V: *smile* Sure...

Puchki: Bhaiyya, apne bataya nahi, meri yaha rehne ki plan kaisi hai?!..

V: *fake smile* Bilkul teri tarah...

Puchki: *happy* Awesome right?!.. I know...

V: Nahi, ekdam bekaaar...

Puchki: *frown* Mommm, bhaiyya ne mujhe bekaar kaha...

V: Jo bhi kaha, sach kaha...

SS: Oh god, inn dono ka firse shuru hogaya... *holding Bani's hand* Bani, tu chal mere saath upar, inn dono ke saath rahegi to tu bhi pagal ho jayegi... Chal tu... *looking at Veer and Puchki* And you both, main tum dono ko pehchanti nahi hoon, so please mere paas mat aana... Khud ke jhagde khud solve karo...

Shailee took Bani upstairs along with her. Bani giggled looking at the duo and went. Veer smirked at Puchki, while she glared back.

Puchki: Bhaiyya, dekho, main gussa ho jaungi...

V: *casually* Haa, le, hoja gussa... Itni si size hai, aur baatein badi badi karni hai tujhe.. Uthake pool mein fek dunga, fir karlena gussa...

Puchki: *frown* Main Daksh bhai se keh dungi ke aap mere saath aise kar rahe ho..

V: *ruffling her hair* Aww, main darr gaya... *chuckling* Pagal... Achha, chal mere saath kitchen mein...

Veer dragged her to the kitchen and made her sit on the kitchen slab. She looked away angrily. He smiled, took out a chocolate from the fridge, held her jaw and made her eat it. She smiled and ate the chocolate happily.

V: *pulling her cheeks* Kitna miss kiya maine tujhe... Sirf tu hi to hai jo aise humesha mujhe tang karti rehti hai... But that doesn't mean you are going to irritate me every moment here...

Puchki: *giggling* Ok, I will think about it...

Veer looked at her narrowing his eyes, and she copied his expression, and they both burst out laughing after few seconds. He started making the coffee for himself and Bani. Puchki looked at Veer keenly, and then asked,

Puchki: Bhaiyya, aj apne bhabhi ko Sweetheart ke jagah Bani kehke kyun bulaya?!...

V: *looking at her shocked* Tujhe kaise pata?!...

Puchki: *cheekily* Daksh bhai ne bataya... Usdin aapke haath pe chot laga tha to bhabhi aapko daant rahi thi aur aap Sweetheart Sweetheart kehke unko shant karne ki koshish kar rahe the... I know everything...

V: *rolling his eyes* Humare ghar mein koi bhi baat chhupta hai??.. Kuch hua nahi ke sabko khabar hojani hai...

Puchki: Aap meri sawaal ka jawaab do...

V: *sternly* Meri biwi, main jo chaahe bulau... Tujhe kya?!..

Puchki: *teasing* Ohhooooo, biwi and all, haa?!... I can feel something in the air... Mm hmmm...

V: *facing her* Shut up... Sun, bohot important baat hai... Mom is staying in your favourite room, jaha pehle Bani ke samaan the... You should not let Mom know about that, okay?!...

Puchki: Haa, kyunki varna Mom ko pata chal jayega ki aap dono alag kamre mein reh rahe the, aur fir Mom daantegi aap dono ko... I know, Daksh bhai ne mujhe sab keh diya hai...

V: I swear, Daksh mere haatho hi marega... *sigh* Anyways, keep that in mind... *taking the cups* Chal ab, upar jaake fresh hoja...

Puchki: *hopping down* Yup...

Puchki ran upstairs happily. Veer smiled at his crazy sister and walked towards his room.

              **********************
Veer entered the room and saw Bani resting on the couch closing her eyes. He sat beside her. She looked at him and smiled. He gave her the cup and she took it happily.

V: Tumne change nahi kiya abhitak?!...

B: Nahi, wo actually maine socha coffee peeke fir change karne jaungi... *sipping the coffee* Aahh, I really needed this...

Veer nodded smiling and sipped his coffee. All of a sudden, Bani encircled her hand around his hand and kept her head on his shoulder. Veer got surprised, and his heart almost did a cartwheel. This small moments with her gave unexplainable joy to Veer, specially when she was the one to take the first step. He kissed on her head and she smiled looking at him.

V: Tired?!...

B: Yeah, thoda sa... Thanks for that lemon mint water, it kept me going throughout the day...

V: Ek kaam karo, fresh hoke thoda rest karlo, you will feel better...

B: I don't think I will need that... *sipping the coffee* This coffee is enough to make me feel better... Ekdam refreshing...

Veer smiled. This woman surely knew how to flirt and compliment someone without even meaning it...

Bani finished the coffee and stood up to go to the washroom. Veer also stood up, locked the door and went near the bedside table to put his mobile on charge. She took out her PJs from the closet and was about to enter the washroom when Veer pulled her back and held her tightly from her waist. The clothes fell down from her hand and she held his tshirt.

B: *glaring* Kya hai?!...

V: *taking out the note from his pocket and showing it to her* Ye note bohot hi pyaara tha...

B: *widening her eyes* Tumhe mila ye??...

V: Obviously, par maine tumhe chat pe nahi kaha kyunki I wanted to tease you directly and see your expression... *smirking* Señorita, haa??...

B: *mock glare to hide her blush* Listen, stop teasing me...I am not liking this at all...

V: *smirk* But your blushy cheeks are telling me something else, Señorita...

Bani pushed him and he fell on the bed. He was quick to react. He sat up and pulled her and she fell on the bed almost over him. Their foreheads got hit with each other, and they both hissed in pain. They looked at each other and giggled, and their forehead got hit again. Bani hissed, and held the place where it got hit. Veer cupped her face, moved her hand from her forehead and blew air over the place. In the process, their faces came very close to each other. Bani could feel his hot breath fanning over her face, and that gave rise to a giddy feeling in her stomach. Veer looked at her and saw her breathing heavily while clutching his t-shirt tightly. His eyes went towards her lips, and he felt an urge to kiss those plump lips. She looked directly at his eyes and found him staring at her lips. Desire started building up between them. Veer couldn't control his urge today. He held her face firmly and started moving closer to her lips. Bani held his shoulder tightly and closed her eyes in nervousness, knowing what was going to come next. She parted her lips and moved her face a little up, and their lips met. They both could feel fire-crackers around them. He kissed her ever so gently. She took few seconds to get used to the feeling and then responded back equally.

Suddenly, realisation hit Veer. He broke the kiss abruptly and looked down not being able meet her eyes. He just murmered "Sorry, I didn't mean to do this.." and left the room hurriedly.

Bani looked on expressionlessly as he went out closing the door. Her mind had gone completely blank after the kiss. She opened and closed her eyes a few times, trying to get her mind to work. She took deep breaths, and finally her raging hormones calmed down. It was then that she grasped the situation. She touched her lips and blushed. She recalled what happened few minutes ago, she just had her first kiss... But then, she remembered Veer's words and her eyebrows wrinkled in confusion.

"Did he just say Sorry to me?!... Okkk, wait, yes, he said sorry to me and went out... But why?!.. Yeah, he didn't take permission before kissing me and thus he might have thought that I was uncomfortable... But, when I myself was responding back equally, tab ye baat kaha se beech mein aagayi?!... Oh God, this mannn... *getting angry* Being a gentleman is okay, but itna zyada gentlemanly behave karne ko kisna kaha hai!!.. Urghhhh... How could he just break the kiss so abruptly and go out?! Aur jaane se pehle kya kaha, SORRY, fuckin' sorry.... "I didn't mean to do this...", arre jab mean hi nahi kiya tha, to why did you kiss me in the first place?! Utter nonsense... Ab main jaake usse directly baat bhi nahi kar sakti, it will look so desperate on my part... I need to think of some other way to make him realise his mistake... Ek minute, Bani, ye tujhe kya horaha hai, why are you getting so bothered?! *shaking her head* Nahi, abhi ye sab sochne k waqt nahi hai.. I first need to think of a plan..."... She thought for sometime, and got an idea... "Now just wait and watch Mr. Singhania, agar maine tumko ye sorry kehne ke liye sorry na feel karwaya, to mera bhi naam Bani Sharma nahi.. Sorry right?! I will make you shove it up your ass, you bloody idiot..."... She punched the pillow in anger and went to the washroom to freshen up.

Veer went to the terrace. He washed his face several times and looked at himself in the mirror. He went and sat on the pillar covering his face with his hands. "Shit shit shit shit shit... Ye maine kya kar diya... Shit... I just kissed her without even asking... How can I get driven away by my emotions so easily!!...Veeranshu Singhania, you need to control your emotions dammit.. Bani kya soch rahi hogi mere baare mein?!... She must have felt so uncomfortable, oh god... How will I face her now??... She is probably regretting this..Ye kya kar diya maine... Ek minute mein sab kharab kar diya, she will never look at me the same way... Yaaaar... I just hope she forgives me and forgets this incident thinking it to be a mistake...". He looked at the sky and sighed, and decided to give some space to her.

           **************************
Bani was sitting in her room with her laptop, diary, and pen. A creative designing workshop page was open in her laptop. She was looking at the screen but her mind was somewhere else. "Such an asshole... First he leaves my first kiss incomplete, and then he doesn't even come in front of my eyes, GREAT....", she thought while tapping the pen furiously on the page of the diary. Her anger was increasing each passing second, and the tapping of the pen was becoming more furious. Soon, Puchki came in their room asking for Veer.

Puchki: Bhabhi, bhaiyya kaha hai?!..

B: (Jahannum mein..) *putting up a facade* Mujhe nahi pata...

Puchki: Oh... Kuch der pehle to yahi the...

B: (Haa, fir kiss hua aur suddenly use laga ke it's the best time to show how much of a gentleman he is, and so he ran away...Coward..) Haa, fir suddenly kaha chala gaya... Ghar mein hi hai, dekho thik se...

Puchki: Oh, okay bhabhi... *looking at her hand* Bhabhi, kuch problem hai kya?! The way you are tapping the pen, it seems like you are in some tension...

B: *keeping the pen aside*(Tumhari bhaiyya hi to hai meri problem...) Ha, matlab nahii, wo this new project is in really problematic situation, that's why... *smile* Nothing much, I will manage...

Puchki: *smile* Ok bhabhi, main jaake bhaiyya ko dhundti hoon...

B: (Aur miljaaye to meri taraf se do laath mar dena uske peeche...) *fake smile* Yeah okay...

Puchki checked the whole house but didn't find Veer anywhere. At last, she decided to check the terrace, amd went upstairs. Veer heard some footsteps and instantly put his mobile near his ear amd acted like he was speaking to someone, to avoid talking to anyone at that moment. Puchki saw him at the terrace busy in a call, amd went back down. He sighed amd kept his mobile back in his pocket. Puchki went to Bani's room to inform her.

Puchki: Bhabhi, bhaiyya terrace pe hai...

B: (Use kaho waha se kud jaaye niche.. Ekbar sar ke bal girega to dimaag sahi se thikaane aa jayega...) Okay...

Puchki went back to her room, and Bani closed her laptop and laid on the bed.

            ***********************
Veer came back to his room when it was almost time for dinner. Bani was sitting in the balcony then. She saw hkm coming and clenched her fists. He came and sat on the couch and started scrolling his mobile. She came inside amd closed the balcony door with a thud. He got scared for a moment and looked at her, but she completely ignored him. She started cleaning the bed, but kept making loud noises intentionally to show her grievance. She threw the pillow on the ground, switched on the lamps with a loud click, set the bedsheets harshly, and put back the pillows in a way like she was hitting someone with it. She then stood in front of the mirror and took a clutcher to tie her hair, but in a loud way. She kept glancing Veer through the corner of her eyes frequently, but the moment he would look at her, she would turn away her face quickly and would behave unbothered. Veer felt rejected at that, it felt as if he was a ghost and she couldn't see him in the room at all. He was about to call her, she sensed it and went out of the room closing the door with a bang. He flinched and sat back on the couch sighing.

At the dinner table, Bani served dinner to everyone calmly. But when it came to Veer, her attitude was totally different. She kept his plate and glass loudly on the table, and everyone looked at her in shock. She gave an innocent look to them and turned towards Veer.

B: *evident fake smile* Sorry...

Veer looked at her being confused, and she went and sat beside Puchki and served dinner to herself. Shailee and Puchki shared a look and started eating. Bani also ate and kept glaring at Veer occasionally. He noticed it once but ignored it.

After the dinner,Bani cleaned the table hurriedly and went upstairs after wishing Goodnight to Shailee and Puchki. Veer was also going upstairs when Shailee stopped him in his way.

SS: *giving him a small bowl of hot oil* Veeru, ye le... Kal maine Bani ke pair malish kar di thi, aj tu kar dena... Bechari aj bohot tired hai, thori araam milegi isse... Please kar dena okay?!...

V: (Ek musibat to sambhala nahi jaa raha, aur upar se aap dusri musibat de rahe ho... Baat karna to dur, wo dekh tak nahi rahi hai mujhe... Ye kaise karu main?!..) Ha okay, I will try...

SS: Try nahi, karna hi hai... Jaa ab jaldi...

Veer sighed and went to his room with the bowl of hot oil.

           **********************
Veer entered the room and saw that Bani has already slept, but what shocked him was the pillow wall in the middle of the bed. He thought that she was feeling uncomfortable around him, and smiled sadly. He sat near her leg and was about to pour the oil in his hands when she sat up. She glared at him, took the bowl from his hand, and herself massaged her feet. He looked questioningly at her.

V: Main kar raha tha na, tum kyun uthi?!...

B: *glaring at him* Sorry...

She laid back on the bed and closed her eyes. He sighed and laid on his side on the bed. He wished her Goodnight, and she didn't reply. But the moment he closed his eyes after switching off the bedside lamp, the pillow wall fell crashing down on him. He got startled and quickly switched on the lamp. He turned to look at her and found her sleeping facing him, and her leg over the now broken pillow wall.

V: What the...

B: *without opening her eyes* Sorry...

He groaned in frustration and slept after switching off the lamp.

This is going to be difficult, he sighed.
This is going to be fun, she smirked.
