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

Thud..Bang..*loud door closing sound*

Veer woke up with a jerk and looked here and there to find Bani standing in front of the mirror and drying her hair. He understood that she was the once who had closed the washroom door with a thud, and groaned irritatedly. 

V: Subah subah shuru hogaya tumhara?!...

B: (Haww, how dare he... Pehle to khud galti kare, aur fir mujhe kahe ke mere tantrums shuru hogaye hai... Iss aadmi ko to main jaan se hi maar du, by god..) *turning and throwing the towel at his face* SORRY...

And she left the room with a fake smile. He threw the towel away and went to freshen up.

Bani made tea for Shailee and Puchki, and went to their room with the tray. She gave them the tea and was about to leave the room when Veer came there.

V: Mom, meri chai...

B: *innocent face* Maine nahi banayi, SORRY...

He sighed at that. She passed her and intentionally clashed with him while going. She turned towards him and gave a fake apologetic look.

B: Oops..*stressing the word* Sorryyy..

Veer closed his eyes and clenched his fists to control himself. He didn't knew why she was doing this since yesterday, but this sorry was irritating him to the core now. Bani smirked inwardly and went away. Shailee and Puchki looked at each other and suppressed their smile.

V: *deep breath* Mom, main ready hone jaa raha hoon... Baad mein baat karunga...

Puchki: Uh, bhaiya... Main kya keh rahi thi, aap aj sham ko jaldi aa sakte ho kya?!...

V: Haa okay, aj zyada kaam nahi hai office pe, I will come early...

He went to his room to get ready for office. Puchki quickly locked the door and came and sat beside Shailee.

Puchki: Mom, did you notice??!... Inn dono ke beech jhagra hua hai shayad...

SS: Haa, I also think so... Kal raat bhi maine notice ki thi, par mujhe laga raat ko baat karke solve karliya hoga unhone... But ye to abhi bhi chal raha hai...

Puchki: Haaaa... I think it's something related to saying Sorry... *giggling* Bhabhi kal se har baat pe bhaiyya ko bas sorry hi keh rahi hai...

SS: I am sure, galti tere bhaiyya ka hi hai.. He must have done something wrong... Idiot kahinka...

Puchki: *giggling* Mujhe bhi yahi lagti hai... Mom, mere paas ek idea hai...

She whispered the idea to Shailee so that no one could hear her from outside the room. Shailee heard it and smirked.

SS: Idea to bada kamal ka hai... I am so proud of you... Aj tune prove kardiya ki tu meri hi beti hai... Ekdam mere jaise ideas aate hai tere dimaag mein bhi... Tere dad je faltu idea nahi.. *thinking* But, agar Veer aur Bani ko office mein koi zaruri kaam ho to??...

Puchki: Nahi hai Mom... Bhaiyya ko to maine aapke samne hi puchha, he said he is not busy... Aur Bhabhi ko maine kal yaha aate waqt puchha tha as we were planning to go for shopping, tab bhabhi ne kaha tha ki she will be free today... Bas, hogaya...

SS: *smile* Bas phir, kaam pe lag jaate hai.... Bas mujhe ek baat ka hi tension ha, dono ek dusre ke baal na nochle...

Puchki: *chuckling* Nahi nahi, aisa kuch nahi hoga...Bhabhi bohot hi shant kisam ki ladki hai...

SS: *awkward* Wo to hai, but kal se jaise Bani zor zor se saare kaam kar rahi hai, mujhe doubt hai ki room mein bandh hone ke baad wo Veer ke sar par hi na maar de... Bohot gusse mein hai ladki... *sigh* Anyways, tu jaldi se Bani ko bula laa...

Puchki quickly went down to call Bani. Soon, they both came to the room. Shailee smiled at Bani and handed her a bag.

SS: Ye le, maine teri shaadi ke time ye kharidi thi tere liye, par dena bhul gayi...

B: *seeing the dress* Wow Mumma, this is so pretty... *smile* Aj main yahi pehnke office jaungi...

SS: *smile* Aur sun, main aur Puchki abhi saamne supermarket se groceries kharidne jaa rahe hai, ok?!..

B: Achaa okay... Aap then chabi lekar jana, kyunki humdono office chale jayenge....

She nodded and Bani left the room. Shailee and Puchki high-fived with each other excitedly.

           **********************
Bani entered the room and closed the door. She turned and right at that moment, Veer came out of the washroom having a towel wrapped around his waist and another towel hanging on his shoulder. She widened her eyes and instantly turned back covering her eyes with her hand.

B: I-I am sor-sorry...(Shittttt... Jab pata hai ke ab hum room share kar rahe hai to kapde lekar jana chahiye na?! Towel mein bahar aa gaya... I call him idiot for a reason..Waise, hot to hai aadmi... Oh god Bani, kya soch rahi hai tu, pagal... You need to concentrate on being angry in him, afterall HE HAD LEFT YOUR FIRST KISS INCOMPLETE)

He landed in an awkward position. He quickly opened the cupboard and wore a random tshirt that he got there and also quickly wore his jeans.

V: *embarassed* I-it's my fault... Main kapde le jaana bhul gaya... Galti meri hai... Sor

She remembered her plan.
B: *emphasizing* S-O-R-R-Y...

V: *to himself* And here we go again... *to her* Yeah you can turn now...

She sighed in relief and turned to go to the washroom to get ready. Veer moved past her and went to open the door, but the door didn't open. He pulled it harder, but still nothing happened. Bani looked annoyedly at him and again focused back in taking out her towel and other garments. He banged on the door and called Puchki and Shailee loudly. She frowned and went towards the door.

V: *annoyed* Iss door ko bhi aj hi jam hona tha... Urghhh...

She pushed him aside and tried to open the door, and then finally realised what had happened.

B: *sigh* Darwaza bahar se locked hai, aur ghar pe koi nahi hai... Mumma aur Puchki supermarket gaye hain grocery laane (Bhagwan, mujhe shakti do taaki main shanti se reh saku aur iss aadmi ka gala na ghont doon...)

V: *annoyed* Darn it...

He quickly dialled their numbers, but no one picked up. He even called the caretaker but the call went unattended. He threw the mobile on the bed and sighed exasperatedly leaning on the door.

B: *smirking inwardly* Sorry...

He couldn't tolerate her sorry anymore, he just lost it and burst out on her.

V: Kya sorry sorry laga rakha hai tumne?!.. Kal se dekh raha hoon main, you are ignoring me like anything... And what's up with this sorry?!...

B: *innocently* Kyun?! Kal tumne hi to kaha mujhse, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do this..."...

V: *guilt* Haa kal maine anjaane mein ek galti kar baitha, isliye I apologized... Sorry kaha maine, par tum kyun keh rahi ho?!..

B: (Urrgghhhhhhh....) *fake smile* Kya karu main uss sorry ka?! Achaar dalu?!...

V: Matlab?!... O-ok fine I know, ermm, I mean I realise that it was a mistake on my part, but... *wiping his face with his hand* I sincerely apologise...

B: (I swear I will kill this man if he says that "it was a mistake" one more time.. Actually, why have I kept him alive till now?!...) Tum ab jo bak rahe ho, that's gutter nonsense; matlab utter nonsense se bhi badhkar jo nonsense hota hai, wahi...*coming closer to him* Ek baat batao, tum Saturday ko apna dimaag office pe chhor aaye ho kya?!.. Kyunki kal se tum jo harkate kar rahe ho, mujhe nahi lagta ke tumhara dimaag tumhare paas hai... *annoyed* Are, 3 Idiots mein Rancho bhi itna idiot nahi tha..Haa use laga tha kiss karne ke time naak beech mein aata hai, but it was because he never had kissed anyone... Par tum to alag kisam ke hi aadmi ho, kiss ko adha chhorke bhaag gaye... *mock chuckle* Actually, pata hai kya, tum sirf bade bade baatein kar sakte ho, aur kuch nahi... Humesha "kiss karlunga, kiss karlunga" bolte firte the, but jab kiss karne ki bari aayi tab tumse ho nahi paaya... Huh...

This hurt Veer's male ego. He grabbed her hand and pinned her against the door, caging her with his hands from both sides.

V: *confused* Tum kya keh rahe ho mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha... I said sorry to you aur ulta tum mujhe hi suna rahi ho...

B: *frustrated* Exactly, you said sorry, A FUCKIN' SORRY.... Out of everything you could do at that moment, you chose sorry, you thought that SAYING SORRY IS THE BEST OPTION AT THAT MOMENT....

V: *annoyed* To aur kya karta main?! I didn't know any other way to lessen your regret...

B: *exasperated* Kisne kaha tumse that I regret it?! Maine kaha?! Nahi na, fir?!.. Yeah I agree that you didn't ask for permission before kissing me, but main koi abla naari thori hoon?... I could have pushed you away if I had a problem, but I didn't right!!!... Rather I was responding back... Par tumne kya kiya, you just broke it midway and went away saying sorry... Apne ittu se dimaag mein jo aaya wo kar diye... Mujhse ek baat bhi nahi kiya tumne, bas jo sahi laga wo kehke chale gaye... Ekbar mujhse puchhe bhi nahi if I really regretted it or not... You know what, I didn't regret the kiss for once, but I regret the fact that my first kiss was left incomplete, all because of you, bloody idiot...

His eyes widened as realisation dawned upon him. She didn't regret the kiss, rather she wanted it badly... His heart fluttered with joy, and he tried to absorb that feeling.

V: *murmuring* Fuck...

B: *angry* Off... Go and rot in hell...

Bani pushed him away and was about to go when Veer held her wrist. He pulled her back, pinned her against the wall, tilted her face holding the nape of her neck, and kissed her. Everything happened so quickly that she got startled. She closed her eyes and absorbed the overwhelming feeling of his lips pressed against hers. She gripped his tshirt tightly to stop herself from melting away in his arms. Her other hand rested around his neck as she gave in to the kiss. He held on to the door with one hand to support himself so that he doesn't put his whole weight on her. This kiss, unlike the first one, was more passionate. They both poured their unsaid emotions and showed each other their love through the kiss. He smiled in the kiss when he felt her pulling him close and equally responding to the kiss. They finally parted when they felt that breathing was necessary to stay alive. If it was not a necessity, they both knew that they could have stayed in the kiss forever...

Bani tried to calm her erratic breathing, and a crimson hue creeped up her cheeks recalling their moment. Veer rested his forehead on hers, and closed his eyes breathing heavily. He sighed as he inhaled her scent. He himself didn't knew but ever since they had hugged each other, he had gotten used to her enciting smell. She smelled like lavendar and woods, and the lavendar woody musky smell of her Chanel perfume enhanced it all the more. She left his tshirt and rested her hand on his chest. A smile of contentment played on both of their lips, after having their First Proper Kiss...

Veer slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, and stroked her left cheek with the pad of his thumb. She blushed and ran to the washroom moving him away. He smiled at her shyness, and leaned back on the closet rubbing the back of his neck dreamily.

Bani locked the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was red like a tomato, and her lips looked plumper. She felt butterflies in her stomach. She splashed water on her face several times, but the shy blush refused to go off her face. She took a deep breath, looked at the mirror, and gave a little pep talk to herself that this was absolutely normal and she should stop being shy and stay bold and confident in front of him. She ignored the excitement bubbling inside her, and quickly changed into the dress that Shailee had given her. She again told herself to remain casual, and came out of the washroom.

Veer was still standing in the same position. The washroom door unlocked and he looked at that direction to find Bani coming out wearing a beautiful long kurta with dupatta. He knew the dress very well, his mother had bought it on the day before the marriage. He had himself choosed it, not knowing that it was for her. But when he saw her in that dress, he felt glad. It was indirectly his first gift to her.

She went in front of the mirror and started combing her hair. He caught her glancing at him now and then, and finally went near her. He made her turn towards himself.

V: *smirk* Mujhe nahi pata tha ke tum itni bold ho...

B: *confident smile* Mujhe bhi nahi pata tha ke tum itna bada idiot ho, par kya kare, jo hai so hai...

V: *pulling her closer* Abhi bhi gussa ho?!...

B: *casual* Nahi gussa kyun

He didn't let her complete.
V: *smirk* Mmmmm, actually I think another kiss will melt your anger completely...

B: *glaring, but blushing inwardly* Aisa kuch nahi hone wala hai, hato...

V: *holding her from waist* Dekho, mauka achha hai, pal suhana hai, aur sama bhi haseen hai... Main bhi hoon, tum bhi ho, aur waqt hi waqt hai... To, kyun na iss waqt ka sahi upyog kiya jaaye...

B: *controlling her smile and smacking his arm* Shut up... *attitude* Tum to mujhse dur hi raho ab...Tumhare liye achha hoga...

He was enjoying it way too much now.
V: *teasing smile* Kyunn?! Kuch der pehle to bohot desperate ho rahi thi... Ab kya hua?!...

B: *in a warning tone* Don't you dare tease me, you moron... Or else, I will throw you out of this room...

V: *grin* Room locked hai...

B: No problem, I will throw you out of the balcony...*fake smile* Seedha niche jaake giroge, aur dimaag bhi thikaane aa jayega...

V: *chuckling* Funny... Waise, mujhe wo gaana yaad aa raha hai...
*singing*
Hum tum ek kamre mein bandh ho,
Aur chabi kho jaaye...
*thinking* Actually, it should be like, *pulling her closer and singing* Hum tum ek kamre mein bandh ho, aur ek kiss ho jaaye... *wink*

B: *sweetly* I know a better version... *fake grin amd singing* Hum tum ek kamre mein bandh ho, aur tumhara gala daba diya jaaye..*glaring him*

V: Woahhh, you are really frustrated it seems...*chuckling* Itna bhi kya hai Sweetheart??... Itna frustration?!...

B: *annoyed* Obviously, you left my bloody damn first ever kiss incomplete, IDIOT...

Hearing the word "first ever kiss", he zoned out. He left her and went and sat on the bed. He started getting the flashbacks of that dreaded day... "Finally I will have my first ever kiss, and it will be you Anya... Aj to main tumhe mana hi lunga.."....
"Huh really? Main aur pyaar?!... No chance... Veeranshu Singhania se pyaar, pagal ho kya?!..."....
"Vee baby ko lagta hai ke main usse pyaar karti hoon, nonsense... But Vee Baby hai bada innocent, kaise har roz gifts deta hai mujhko, awww...."....
"Tumne aisa kyun kiya Anya?! What was my fault..." "You could never satisfy me Vee Baby... You don't even touch me.... I am sorry but I had no other option other than cheating on you..." "Anya, I planned the day specially for you, but you ruined everything...." "Oh please Vee, I don't want to talk about this anymore... Let's end it here..." "I don't want to see your face ever again, Ms. Sharanya Ahuja.." "Hahaha, we will see that later baby... Byeeee...."
Veer shut his eyes tightly and tried to forget it, but the scenes kept playing in his mind. He wished that someone should delete that day, rather those 2 years, from his life.

Bani realised that her words might have brought back some of his past memories. She cursed herself in mind and quickly went towards him. She settled closer to him and held his hands. He opened his eyes feeling her touch on his hands.

B: Veeranshu, I am so sorry..Main kuch bhi bol deti hoon... I-I didn't mean it like that, at all... I didn't want to trigger your past memories... Cutu plzz, kuch to bolo...

He looked up and saw her looking at him with an apologetic face.
V: *taking a deep breath* I am okay Sweetheart...

B: Cutu, sachhi na?!... See, past is past, plzz don't think about it... Plz...

V: *smile* Yeah, I am fine...*going back to his playful self* By the way, hum kis ke baare mein baat kar rahe the?!*smirk* Ohhhh, kiss ke baare mein....

B: *taking her hands back* Tum fir se shuru hogaye...*fake anger*

V: *chuckling* I just made your first kiss way too memorable, right?!...

B: *dramatic* Yeah, so memorable that now this thing is gonna haunt me everytime we kiss...

V: *teasing and moving closer to her* Oh, that means we are going to kiss very often now?!...

B: *widening her eyes, blushing* Oh goddd, you are....

She could complete her sentence in embarrassment. She hurriedly got up from the bed and was walking towards the balcony, when suddenly she felt dizzy. She stopped and held her head. Veer saw her wobbling and instantly ran towards her. He held her firmly by her shoulders and cupped her face with the other hand.

V: *tensed* Sweetheart, k-kya hua?!...

B: *becoming stable* Mm, wo kuch nahi, it's normal.. Chakkar aa gaye the, hota hai aisa... It's okay...

V: Hote hai ka kya matlab?!... Aao baitho, dheere....

Veer made her sit on the couch, and himself sat beside her. He gave her a glass of water and she gulped it down. He caressed his back and kept his hand on hers.

V: Feeling okay now?!...

B: *smiling* Yeahh.... Tension mat lo, it's absolutely normal... Mujhe iss time chakkar aate hai, aur specially aj maine kuch khana nahi khayi na abhi tak, isliye shayad... Don't worry...

V: *displeased* Bani Sharma, you better start taking care of yourself well... Tumne breakfast nahi kiya?! Wo bhi iss halat mein?!... Tumhe na maar parni chahiye... Ruko tum, aj tumhari class li jaayegi... Mom ko aane do ekbar...

B: *cute frown* Achha thikhai, galti hogayi na, bass... Mumma ko mat batana plzzzz, bohot daant paregi mujhe... Please...

V: Daant parna zaroori hai... Main mom ko bataunga hi...

B: *puppy eyes* Pleaseeeee...

V: *melting* Acha okay... But ye log aayenge kab?!... Ye Puchki bhi na, stupid... Tapish bhai aur Meera bhabhi ke shaadi ke baad first fight par bhi usne aisa hi kiya tha..Pagal...*chuckle*

B: Daantna mat tum use...

V: *playful smile* Arre nahi, aj kuch nahi kahunga... Afterall, uski wajah se I got the opportunity to have

B: *not letting him complete* Ok fine I understood...*hiding her blush* Chup...

V: *murmuring* my first ever kiss...

Bani looked at him shocked.
B: Whatt...

He smiled raising his eyebrows giving her a 'if-you-know-you-know' look, and walked up to take his mobile from the bed.

B: *gaping in shock* Veeranshu Singhania, we need to have a talk about this...

V: *mentally chuckling* What's there to talk, Gharwali?!...

B: *stubborn* I don't know... We need to talk, that's it...

V: *in teasing tone* Getting desperate again, haa?!...

B: *throwing a cushion at him* You know what, you are such a jerk...

Veer laughed and called Daksh to inform that he won't come to office as Puchki had locked them and went. Daksh laughed and agreed. Bani also informed the MD that she won't be able to come due to some personal issues, and then also informed DD. DD teased her endlessly, and cut the call after sometime.

              **********************
Soon, they heard someone unlocking the door from outside. He ran to open the door, but she stood in his front and stopped him.

B: *whispering* Shhh, abhi mat kholo.. Bechari pakdi jayegi... Once she goes, open the door...

V: *whispering back* Bechari?!.. What a joke...

After few seconds, when they realised that she had gone, Veer opened the door. Bani went out and ran downstairs to have her breakfast. He smiled looking at her retreating figure. Puchki saw that from far and came towards him.

Puchki: *sweetly* Hii bhaiyya...

V: *looking at her seriously* Aee, tu idhar sun...

Puchki: *afraid* Nahi, Mom bula rahi hai... Bye...

V: Arre sun, nahi daantunga... Pakka...

Puchki came towards him skeptically. He kept his hand on her shoulders and pulled her close.

V: Kya tha ye?! Darwaza lock karke bhaag gayi?!...

Puchki: *confident* Aap ye sab mat socho, ye batao ki jhagda solve hua?!..

V: *smiling goofily* Haa, wo to hua...

Puchki: *excited* Bass, yayyy... Iske badle mein mujhe kya milega?!...

V: Kya chahiye??!..

Puchki: Shopping jaani hai... Maine Mom ko already keh di hai... Aap dono waise bhi office nahi jaa rahe ho, to hum mall chalte hai...

V: Kyunnn?! Ja jaake apni Daksh bhai se bol... Wo karayega tujhe shopping...

Puchki: *in a notifying tone* Bhaiyya, main aapko batana hi bhul gayi..Daksh bhai aajkal paise jama rahe hai, bachau type ke ho gaye hai... Maine notice kiya...

V: *alerted* Hmm?! *smirk* Achha, dekhna parega mujhe...  *to Puchki* Waise tu ek baat bata, ye jo tu idhar ki khabar udhar aur udhar ki khabar idhar karti hai, isse kya milti kya hai tujhe?!....

Puchki: *pleased* Sukoon *giggling*... Ab chaloooo, mall nahi jaana?!...

V: *fake smile* Aur koi option hai?!...

Puchki: *nodding sideways* Nahi...

V: *making a weird face* To chaliye fir, maharani ji...

She giggled and happily ran down. Veer took his and her belongings and went down.

             ************************
Veer came out of the Farmhouse after locking the door. The three ladies were already waiting for him outside, near his car. Shailee had complimented Bani about how pretty she looked in that dress but didn't tell her that it was actually chosen by him, because she wanted her to know it from Veer himself.

Veer came there and threw the car keys at Bani.

V: Please do the honours...

B: *smiling* Oukay...

Puchki looked at them widening her eyes in shock.
Puchki: *to Shailee* Mommm, bhaiyya ne car ki chabi bhabhi ko dedi... Bhaiyya ne... Car ki chabi... Apni car ki chabi... Bhabhi ko... Dediii...

SS: *smilingly hitting her arm* Tu itna notice mat kar... Chupchap gadi mein jaake baith... Aisa hi hota hai, tujhe samajhne ki zarurat nahi hai...Chal...

Puchki frowned at her Mom and sat in the backseat. Shailee sat beside her and smiled at his son, he was in love... Bani fastened the seat belt and started the car after Veer fastened his seatbelt too, and they drove off to the mall.

Throughout the journey, Puchki kept talking with Bani and Veer, and Shailee was in a call with Ponky, asking him about his exams and what food they were eating there. Veer, though busy in replying to Puchki's nonsense questions, kept stealing glances of his beautiful wife. Bani noticed that and glared at him 2-3 times, but he didn't budge.

Finally they reached the mall, and Veer and Bani went to the parking lot after dropping Puchki and Shailee at the entrance of the mall. Bani parked the car and they both came out and started walking towards the lift while teasing and glaring playfully. She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten her purse in the car, and ran to get it. He was waiting for her near the lift when he heard a very known voice. He turned and saw in front of him the woman he loathed the most, Sharanya Ahuja. She stood there in all her glory, looking "green" in a neon green co-ord set. Veer clenched his fists in anger. Never in his life had he thought that he would have to face her again, and right now she was there smiling at him extra sweetly.

Sh: Hiii Vee Baby...

V: *sternly* It's Veeranshu Singhania...

Sh: *casually* Oh, okay... But it's too long, so let me just call you Veer.. We meet again, after 3 long years... I hope you don't miss me much?!...*evil smile*

V: What do you want?!...

Sh: *sweetly* Arre kya yaar, itne din baad mile hai aur tum aise rudely baat kar rahe ho... Thoda chill karo... By the way, maine suna tumne shaadi karli... Who's the lucky girl?! The beautiful wife?...

Veer felt a disgust as he clearly knew what she meant by the word "lucky" here. Such a money minded woman she was... Just then, he heard Bani's voice behind him. The last thing he wanted at that moment was Bani meeting Sharanya, but he also knew that the most right thing at that moment would be to let Bani meet Sharanya. He turned and smiled at her.

Bani smiled at Veer and she instantly noticed a lady standing there in typically vibrant neon green clothes. She felt that she had seen that lady somewhere, but couldn't remember the exact place. She came forward and smiled at her, and thought to praise her for carrying herself so confidently in that colour. But, Veer's next words stopped her.

V: *holding her waist* Meet my gorgeous wife, my Sweetheart, Bani... *to Bani* And Sweetheart, this is

Sh: *fake sweetly* Oh hiii, myself Sharanya Ahuja... Veer se mere baare mein to suna hi hoga tumne... Afterall.. *smirking at Veer*

Bani stood rooted as she got to know who the lady was, his awful ex. The way he grabbed her waist, she now understood how he was feeling and how much he was bothered. She covered that hand with her dupatta and blinked at him, letting him know that she was there. He relaxed at that and she smiled at Sharanya. But before she could compliment her look, she spoke up.

Sh: *taunt* Veer, tumhe itni bhi kya jaldi thi shaadi karne ki ke tumne iss behenji je shadi karli?! *chuckle*...

Veer was about to burst out at her, but Bani quickly patted on his hand to calm him down. She briefly gave him a 'let-me-handle-this' look and again looked back at her.

Sh: *evil smirk* Anyways, Veer, tumne bataya to hoga na ise, humare parties ke baare mein, wild parties ke baare mein.... *pleased* Those wild nights....

B: *laughing hard* Hahahahaha... Really Sharanya, you are so damn funny... Kaunse wild nights, jab tumne breakup ka reason ye diya tha ki he doesn't satisfy you physically, or rather, he doesn't even touch you... Veer ne bataya hai mujhe sab.. *laugh* Kuch bhi, matlab, funny haa!!...

Sh: *smilingly trying to cover up* Oh, you are just jealous of me...

B: *amused face* Whattt?! Why will I be jealous?!... Tumhe pata hai jealousy kya hai?! Jab kisi aur ke paas wo cheez ho jo hume chahiye hoti hai, par humare paas hota nahi hai, tab hume uss insaan se jealousy hoti hai... Tumse main kyun jealous houngi bhala!!.. *smiling* Veer mere paas, mere kareeb, *moving her dupatta to briefly show his hand on her waist*  mujhe pakad ke khada hua hai, to mujhe kis baat ki jealousy hogi?!... *chuckle* Rather, I think you might be jealous of me...

Veer smiled at his wife's witty words. He had started to enjoy the cat fight now.

Sh: *thinking of a comeback* Maybe because of my beauty... I mean, look at youself; kaun se angle se biwi ho aur kaun se angle se kachra, samajh hi nahi aa raha... All in one, haa!!... *to Veer* Tum dono ki arrange marriage hai , hai na?! Varna tum ise dekhke kaise attract hogaye Veer?!..

B: *smile* Kya kare, makkhiyan aksar aisi cheezon ko dekhke attract hoti hai...

Sh: *chuckle* Oh good, she accepted she is kachra...

B: *sweet smile* Maine ye accept kiya ke *pointing to Veer* ye ek makkhi hai, jo *pointing to herself* gur ko dekhke attract hogaya...

He smiled at the comparison she made.
V: Meet Mr. and Mrs. Makkhi...

Bani chuckled and high-fived with Veer. Sharanya was going to answer back, but Bani stopped her with her remarks.
B: Umm, tumhe shayad pata nahi hai, let me tell you... Makkhiyan jo hai, they are not really attracted to kachra... Unhe humesha gur ki hi talash hoti hai... Par jab wo uss gur ko dhund rahe hote hai, tab *looking at Sharanya from head to toe distastefully* kuch "kachra" kaise bhi karke unhe apne ore khich lete hai... But it's temporary, kyunki makkhi ko kuchdino baad pata hi chal jata hai ki wo asal mein kachra hai, fir makkhi use chhodkar gur ko dhundne mein nikal jaate hai... *sweetly* Aur ekbar makkhi ko gur mil jaaye, fir to wo kachre ke taraf murke bhi nahi dekhta...
Veer controlled himself from laughing out loud after hearing this.

Sh: *agitated* Did you just call me kachra...

B: *innocent* Arre nahi nahi, meri itni jurrat?!... Main to bas tumhe makkhi psychology samjha rahi thi... Some general knowledge, you know... But if the shoe fits you, wear it Cindrella...

Sh: You...

B: *glancing at Veer once* Waise what an irony, Sharanya ko to severe dust allergy hai!!....

Both Veer and Sharanya looked at her shocked, and Bani smiled at them confidently. She had finally recalled where she had seen her face...

Sh: *shocked* How do you know?!..

B: Wo kya hai na, tum jaha apply kar rahe ho, shayad waha ke baare mein information gather nahi karti hogi... But, being at a higher position there, I go through all the applicant forms very keenly and also remember them, afterall itni badi company mein kaam karti hoon to ye to meri duty hai... Aur tumne bhi to apply ki hai GO pe, hai na Ms. Sharanya Ahuja, daughter of Mrs. Mayurakshi Ahuja!!... Am I right or am I right?!..*smirking grin*

Shock and fear were evident on Sharanya's face. She understood who she actually was.
Sh: *gulp* You are Ms. Bani Shar

B: *stopping her* Ah-uh, *confidently* It's Mrs. Bani Sharma Singhania, HR and Head of the coding and analytics department, and also a member of the recruitment team for the marketing department, at Global International... *in the same tone as hers* I hope you know me, kisi se mere baare mein to suna hi hoga tumne...

Veer became extremely happy. Why not, afterall she had introduced herself as Mrs. Bani Sharma Singhania for the first time... He pulled her a little close and she smiled. Colour drained off Sharanya's face as she realised what she had gotten herself into. Now her career was at stake. She tried to think of ways to manage the situation.

B: See Sharanya, I am not a person who likes to drag personal grudges in professional field, and waise bhi I don't have any personal issue with you...

Sh: *frustrated* But you are actually bringing your personal issue... You are damn insecure of me...

B: *slightly irritated* Ek minute, tumhe pata bhi hai tum kya bole jaa rahe ho??!... Kis baat ki insecurity, aur kya personal issue?! We don't have any personal relation... Ek baat batao, tum hote kaun ho humare?!... Why on the earth will I be insecure because of you??...

Sh: I am Veer's ex

B: *mocking* Ex-actlyyy, dekho tumne khud hi apne sawaal ka jawaab de diya... "Ex", darling, you are past... I don't like to dwell in past... I like to live in the present and dream about the future... *getting out of his grip and holding his hand tightly* And I am his present and his future, both... So, there's no way I can be insecure... You know what, I honestly don't care if you had a past with "my husband", all I care is that we are together now, in the present, and will surely be together in the future... Veer bhul gaya hai tumhe, ab tum bhi move on kar hi lo... *chuckle* Kaisi kaisi baatein karte ho, insecure, jalan and all... Arre bhai, pati hai ye mera, bharosa hai mujhe ispe...

Veer was getting one shock after another since the morning. It seemed as if his wife was electrified today, and in a mood of giving him electric shocks frequently. He squeezed her hand and again held her from the waist. She facepalmed herself mentally at his act.

Sh: *fuming*...

B: *seriously* Ab kaam ki baat pe aate hai... As I was saying, I won't have done anything against you in the office due to this small bickering, but since you are an applicant for the marketing department, it will be difficult for us to give you the job after seeing this arrogant attitude of yours... Marketing team ke liye apply kar rahi ho, but anjaan logo ke saath aisi behaviour karti ho, aise to nahi chalta na!!... You just called a random woman behenji just because she is wearing something indian, wowww.... Agar behenji hoke meri behaviour achhi rehti hai, to mujhe koi problem nahi hai... Sorry to say but, khud to badi modern ho, kya faida hua?! Kar diya kisiko insult, gayi naukri haath se.... I can't let my company hire someone like you...

Sh: *loudly* Don't you dare

B: *cold voice* You don't know what I can do Ms. Ahuja... Main tumse achhe se dheere se baat kar rahi hoon, isliye behtar yahi hoga ki tum bhi mujhse dheere se baat karo... Don't shout at me, it won't help... I can take the cctv footage of this incident from the authority here, and provide it to the recruitment team to show how you behave with strangers, and you will be rejected instantly... Par main aisa karungi nahi, I will give you a chance... Come and attend the interview, but I think you won't get through it... And ek chhoti si pro tip, jab kisike baare mein pata na ho achhe se, tab uske sath aise bartav nahi karna chahiye... Ye aage se yaad rakhna, kaam aayegi...

V: *smirk* Now if you excuse us, we can leave... We are getting late actually...

B: *smile* Bubyeee...Meet you next week at the interview...

Sharanya stomped her feet and turned to go.

B: *to Veer* Veer, yaha koi candy shop hai kya?!...

V: *confused* Yeah, why?!...

B: *intentionally louder* Wo kya hai na, kuch logo ke saath baat karne se hi zubaan karwi ho jaati hai... I need to oust this bitterness from my mouth...

V: *pulling her closer* I can help with that...

B: *blush* Oh shut up...

Sharanya glared them for one last time and left. Bani and Veer looked at each other and burst out laughing.

V: Tum insaan nahi ho, tum jungli billi ho... Meow...

B: *hitting him playfully* Kuch bhi...

V: You were too good today... Ekdamm on fire...

B: And she was ex-tremely bad... Pun intended*laugh*....

V: *laugh*...

B: Matlab, seriously... I was going to compliment her because of the way she carried that colour so confidently and beautifully... I can never wear a neon colour and walk in public, but she did that and absolutely slayed it... I was going to praise her genuinely, but fir usne apni muh kholi, and boom, I was done.... Kuch bhi bolti hai, I mean... *sigh* Leave it, she's such a buzzkill...

Veer hugged her tightly and she also hugged him back happily. He was glad that she handled it so maturely and confidently. He finally had someone to support him in everything including this. He broke the hug and smiled at her.

V: You are the best, THE ABSOLUTE BEST..

B: *smile and about to reply*...

V: Uhhh, now before you compliment me, chalo... They are waiting...

He held her hand and started walking. She stopped and tugged at his hand. He looked at her questioningly. She pulled him back and walked in front with attitude, but blushing inwardly. Veer shook his head chuckling, and walked behind her, humming a song.

Ladaku vimaan hai,
Par tu meri jaan hai...
Bani turned and glared at him hiding her blush. He winked, and they got in the lift. He again hummed the same lines, and this time she didn't do anything but just blushed facing the other side.

Ladaku vimaan hai,
Par tu meri jaan hai...

Heyyy my lovely readers, so so so sorry for being late... I read all your dms and comments for updating soon, but couldn't reply... Here's a total badass Banilicious chapter for you all... Hope you all loved it...

Any Mayuri fans from Naagin 5?!.. If yes, then I am sorry to let her get insulted like this... Even I am a Mayuri fan, I liked her classy nature a lott.. She was a slayer evil, she did everything like she owned it.. Sorry for making her a villain in this story, but I feel that there couldn't be any better villain than her... A sassy lady, she is...

I again apologize for making you all wait like this... Actually, I got 3 surprise tests yesterday, and also the assignment dates got preponed, so didn't get much time to write... Next chapter will come on Sunday or Monday... Tomorrow I have viva exams and assignment submission, after that I will write... I actually need to do a lot of pre-planning before writing a chapter... I plan each and every dialogue and the whole scene in my head first and then start writing, and that takes a hell lot of time... So, things get tough during exams... Plz bear with my irregular updates for few days, I promise to give regular updates the moment I become free... Shollyyyyy🥺🥺🥺

Chapter Trivia...
Q. What does Bani want to talk about, with Veer?!(Drop your guesses)
Q. Do you have confusion about Sharanya's any action or words?! If yes, what's it?! (I just want to know if you all are in the same boat as me... If not, don't worry, I will surely bring you to the same boat in the upcoming chapters... So just think about her words and answer this..)
Q. Will Sharanya accept her defeat like this, and will she go to attend the interview?!

Precap:-
O rabba mehar kari, tu mehar kari
Mera hojaye wo na der kari,
Iss janam mil jaaye wo
Use agle janam mera pher kari...
