Sadda Haq.. Aithe Rakh...
Sadda Haq.. Aithe Rakh...

The loud music started playing in the room and disturbed Bani's sleep. She sat up irritated and threw a cushion at Veeranshu who was standing in front of the couch. The cushion directly hit his face and he stumbled and fell on the couch. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him sleepily, and laughed seeing him fallen on the couch.

B: *giggling* Hehehhehee, tit for tat... *frown* Tumne meri neend disturb kyun ki?!... Kitni shanti se so rahi thi main, kya amazing dream tha, sab kharab kar diya...

Veer stood up and came towards her.
V: *smirk* Kya dream tha?... Bolo bolo bolo...

B: *evident fake grin* Yahi ki main tumhe garam tel mein duboke fry kar rahi hoon...

V: *widening his eyes dramatically* Hawwww, kitni dangerous ho tum...

B: *evil look* Bohot hi zyada... Dikhau?!..

V: *sitting beside her and naughtily coming close* Haa, dikhao na, please...

Bani pushed him away and blushed.
B: Iisshhh, hato... Cheapde...

V: *making a face* Cheapde?! What's that?!...

B: Jo tumhare tarah aise cheap harkat karte hai, unhe cheapde kehte hai...

V: *naughty look* Arre, maine to abhi tak kuch kiya bhi nahi... *moving close towards her face* Karu kya?!...

Bani pushed him away again.
B: *irritating smile to hide her blush* Oh God Veeranshu, tum naa, urghhh...

She stood up to go to the washroom, but Veer quickly held her hand to stop her. She turned and looked at him questioningly.

B: Kya hai?!...

V: Sweetheart, aj gym chaloge mere saath?!...

B: Nahi Veer, aj mann nahi hai... Kisi aur din jaaungi...

V: Chalo na, you didn't see the gym setup here... Ekbar chalo, I'm sure you will like it...

B: *rubbing her temple* Veer, I really don't want to go today...

V: *making a baby face* Please...

Bani melted at his cute baby face and giggled.
B: Achha theek hai, chalungi...

Veer stood up and hugged her in excitement.
V: Yayyy, thankyou thankyou thankyou so much... *kissing on her cheek* Tum jaldi se change karke neeche aa jao, main neeche gym mein hoon... Bye...

He happily went out of the room, jumping like a kid. She held the place where he kissed and blushed.
B: Pagal...

She smiled shaking her head and went to change into her gym clothes.

            ***********************
Bani went downstairs and then went out to the backyard. She walked by the pool and reached a small door at the backside of the house. She pushed open the door and went down the stairs. The narrow pathway led to the basement, which was converted to a full-fledged gym. All necessary gym equipments were present there. There was a special rack made for different weights. Bani was clearly impressed by the arrangements and efficiency of a home gym. She walked further and was surprised seeing something. She had thought that only a punching bag would be present, but here a boxing ring was made at one corner.

She walked towards the ring and spotted Veeranshu there, trying out his boxing skills. He was wearing his sleeveless hoodie and a shorts, and had his white boxing hand wraps on. His triceps were on display, and the sweat was giving a glow to them, making him look more attractive. He had groomed his beard yesterday and that was adding to his charm.

He was practicing his boxing moves very seriously and hence didn't notice Bani there.

Bani checked him out thoroughly and only one thought kept roaming in her head, "he is too hot to handle". All she wanted now was to make him open his hoodie so that she could have a good look at his body. Her imaginations were starting to go wild now. Suddenly, her mobile vibrated in the pocket of her hoodie, breaking her trance. She realised what all she was thinking about, and slapped herself mentally for becoming a "cheapdi" nowadays. She slowly looked towards him, and thought of clicking a picture of him secretly. She quickly took out her mobile and clicked his picture.

She looked at the picture and smiled, and then again clicked a picture, but this time zooming at his face.

She stared at the picture, and muttered "My hot and sexy husband..." under her breath. She then put the mobile back inside her pocket and went towards the boxing ring.

Veer heard footsteps approaching him, and turned to see Bani coming towards him with a sweet smile on her lips. She was wearing black Puma activewear pants which showed off her legs at various places through the flimsy areas. The pant hugged her at all right places, flaunting her toned hips and legs very perfectly. He moved his eyes a little up and found her wearing a peach colored half sleeved oversized hoodie. He was about to tease her for coming in the gym wearing her regular hoodie when she went at a side and opened her hoodie, revealing her black sports bra. She kept the hoodie on the side table and turned towards him, and his breath hitched. The sports bra had gaps along the middle line, and her cleavage and the outline of her bosoms were clearly visible through them.

[Ignore the background and the handwraps]

He gulped and looked away. He closed his eyes shut tightly and tried to calm down his heartbeat. His thoughts got messed after seeing her like this. Indecent imaginations clouded his mind. He turned to look at her once, and then again looked away. Her petite milky waist was kept bare and was trying to gain his attention. He took a few deep breaths and decided to keep himself from looking anywhere else except her face, in order to maintain his sanity. He knew that ince he looked directly at her eyes and face, he would drown in them and would not be able to look anywhere else, and he decided to do exactly that. That was the only way to control himself from giving in to his desires. He took another deep breath, and looked at her face smilingly.
He noticed that she had secured the upper part her hair with a clip and kept the rest open. She looked at Veer and found him already staring at her face while boxing.

She smiled and went near the boxing ring, and looked at him. He fixed his intense gaze at her and had a small smile playing on his lips.

She could see the desire in his eyes. She lowered her gaze and blushed, unable to take his look, and quickly went to the other side.

He came out of the ring, and went to her. She realised that he was coming towards her, and turned to face him.

V: Chalo, aao...

B: *confused* Kaha?!...

V: Let me tie the hand wrap for you...

B: *cute sad face* Par mujhe boxing karni nahi aati...

V: *smile* Koi baat nahin, main sikha dunga... Aao...

B: *excited* Sachhi??!... *holding his hand* Chalo phir...

Veer chuckled inwardly at her excitement and took her to the side. He made her sit and took out the hand wraps from the cabinet. He sat beside her and started tying the handwraps properly. He whistled the tune of Dil Ibadat while he did so. Bani stared at his face. She could see the veins on his forehead, and it made him look all the more handsome. She kept staring at his face and thanked God for sending him in her life as her love and companion.

Once he was done tying the handwraps, he looked at her and she quickly averted her gaze from his face. He didn't fail to notice it, and smiled inwardly. He pulled her along with him and they entered the boxing ring together. Veer first made her do some warm ups, which she did readily. Then he showed her some basic punching and boxing moves. She observed each and every move very carefully. Now, he told her to copy the moves, and she did the moves exactly like how Veer showed. He smiled being impressed at her concentration, and started hitting the punching bag alternatively with her.

Veer then made Bani stand at the opposite side of the punching bag, and told her to punch it as hard as she could. She punched it very hard the first two times, but on the third try she missed the shot and her hand went almost near Veer and brushed past his cheek. It did not hurt him at all, but to prank her, Veer covered his eye and shrieked in pain. Bani got scared thinking that he had really got hurt, and ran to check on him.

She tried to move his hand from his face to check the wound, but he held it tightly and made a painful face. She held his head with one hand and slowly tried to move his hand while whispering apologies and consolation. He smiled inwardly at her care and decided to disclose the truth to her as he saw her getting tensed and worried. He uncovered his eye and showed her that he had not got hurt and was just pranking her. She looked at him dumbfounded and he laughed at her expressions. She got annoyed and pushed him away irritatedly, and he got disbalanced and stumbled back.

She moved away from him, and stood holding the punching bag in her back and looking down dejectedly. Here she was getting extremely worried for his wellbeing, and he dared to make fun of that; how rude... She really got hurt thinking that he did care about her feelings towards him...

He realised that he had gone overboard with the prank, and started moving towards her. His eyes stared at his face and then went towards her cleavage again, and he stopped in his tracks and instantly looked away. "Fuck, she looks so sexy even when she is angry..", he thought. He mentally scolded himself and gave himself a little pep talk about how to control his hormones and not avert his gaze from her face at any cost. He heaved a sigh and went near her. He cupped her face and made her look towards him. She moved his hands and looked away. He tried again but the same thing happened. He then moved back a little and stood there holding his ears and made a sad pout.

V: Sorry Sweetheart, aisa prank nahi karunga firse kabhi...Look at me once...

Bani turned to look at him, and giggled sadly seeing his cute face. She again fell silent and he came closer to her.
V: Tum gussa kyun hogayi?!... I was just joking and pranking you Bani...

B: *punching his shoulder lightly while looking down* You made fun of my concern... I was genuinely worried for you, but you laughed at me and turned my feelings into a joke...

V: Whatt?! Noooo... I was just trying to fool you into thinking that your punch was really hard and it hit my face... I didn't intend to make fun of your feelings at all... Maine aisa socha bhi nahi Bani Sweetheart, I will never ever laugh at your care... Samjhi?!...

B: *cutely* Hmm...

V: *cupping her face* Now, give me a smile...

B: Hmmmmm...

Veer squeezed her cheeks with his fists from both side.
V: Smile smile smile smile smile...

Bani sighed and smiled at him. He pulled her cheeks lightly.
V: Cute..

Bani smiled wholeheartedly this time, blushing inwardly, and moved to the other side of the punching bag again. She punched on the bag and Veer held it quickly to stop it from hitting his face. He gripped both of her hands tightly and looked at her widening his eyes.

V: Kya, ab prank ko haqiqat mein badalne ka iraada hai?!...

B: *playfully* Haa, kyunki mujhe bhi dekhna hai tum prank karte waqt zyada dard bhare expressions dete ho ya real mein lagne ke baad, taaki main next time se prepared rahoon...

V: Oh achha, great idea...*laugh*

Bani let her body lean backwards freely and he held her hands properly to support her and prevent her from falling. She smiled looking at their hands, while he kept laughing.

She looked up at his face and saw his sexy smile. She stood properly and blushed seeing his utter cuteness. Her man was too cute... He left her hand and smiled looking the other way. His wife was too cute...

B: *looking around* This place is so nicely built and so well maintained...

V: *happy* Hai na?! Maine khud apne idea se banwaya hai... The whole planning and incorporation was mine...

B: Wow... Nice... But tum mujhe yaha laane ke liye itna utavla kyun ho rahe the?!...

V: *excited* Arre, I wanted to show you this place and know your views regarding the idea... Afterall, maine khud banwaya hai to tumse jaanna tha if you like it or not...

Bani smiled, understanding how much her views matter to him. But more than that, she smiled seeing his childishness.

B: *chuckling* You are such a kiddo...

V: *turning towards her instantly* Whattt?! What did you say??...

B: *teasing smile* I said, you are such a kiddo...

V: *slowly approaching her* I am a kiddo?!...

B: Obviously... Khud hi dekho, kaise bachho ke tarah kud kud ke mujhe yaha le aaye... Childishness at its peak, to kiddo hi to bulaungi...

V: *smirk* Achha, let me show you how much of a kid I am...

Before Bani could say anything, Veer dashed towards her and pinned her against the wall. She gasped at their sudden closeness and her breathing became erratic. She looked at him timidly, and found him staring at her with a sly smirk. He moved his face closer to hers and his eyes rolled between her eyes and lips. She followed his gaze and instantly knew what was coming, and looked down shyly. Veer grabbed her waist with one hand while cupping her face the other. And, he kissed her. She closed her eyes in ecstasy, and her hands moved to hold his shoulder for support. She ran her fingers in his hair as she deepened the kiss. He smiled within the kiss and invaded her mouth. The kiss became sweet yet passionate. He pulled her closer by her waist, and their crotches brushed against each other. Their breaths hitched and he instantly left her waist and moved his body a little away from her body, but his lip didn't leave hers. He nibbled on her lower lip while she worked on his upper. She left his air and moved her hand to his chest, letting him know that she was starting to feel short of breath. He left her lips and started kissing down her jaw, while she panted for breath. He peppered kisses in her jawline and went towards her earlobe, and she pressed her lips together to stop herself from making any sound.

All of a sudden, Bani's mobile rang and broke their intimate moment. Veer moved away, visibly irritated, and Bani blushed looking down. She moved past him to the table and cut the call without even seeing who was calling. She sat on the bench and her face became red with shyness as she realised what they were doing few seconds ago. They were literally almost making out... She quickly wore her hoodie and took her mobile and started leaving, but she tripped and fell on the ground and cried in pain. Veer was standing with his head resting at the wall, and blushing thinking about their moment, when he heard the thud and her cry. He quickly turned and saw her sitting on the ground holding her right foot. He ran towards her and sat beside her.

V: *tensed* Kya hua Sweetheart?! Tum giri kaise?!... Kaha dard horaha hai?!...

B: *painfully* Wo, I tripped and fell... *showing her ankle* Yaha bohot pain horaha hai Veer...

V: *worried* Let me see...

Veer held her foot and tried to move it, and she shrieked loudly. He realised that her foot has got twisted. He tried to soothe her by caressing her ankle. He stood up and picked her up in his arms. She circled her hand around his neck and looked at him helplessly. He started moving out of the gym like that.

B: Veer, main dheere dheere chali jaungi, tumhe mujhe uthake le jaane ki zarurat nahi hai...

V: Pair ghumaya nahi jaa raha, aur madam ko chalke jaana hai..Chupchap mujhe jo karna hai karne do...

B: *concerned* But Veer, tumhare haath mein dard hoga...

Veer stopped and looked at her with confusion.
V: What!! Whyy??!.. *remembering that he had said she was heavy* Oh God, Sweetheart... Tumhe sach mein lagta hai tum bhari ho?! Usdin to main bas tumhe chidhane ke liye keh raha tha wo... Tum itni halki ho ki main tumhe apne weights ke jagah use karke squats kar sakta hoon...

He did one squat with her in his arms, and she giggled.
V: Tumhare pati ko itna kamzor mat samjho... Arre, itne mehnat se triceps banaye hain, unhe kaam to aane do... *wink*

Bani smiled and held him a little tightly, and he smiled looking at her smile. He moved out of the gym and went inside the house.

             **********************
Veer took her to their room and made her sit on the bed delicately. Je sat beside her and started opening her handwraps. Once he was done opening the handwraps, he kept them at a side and held her foot. She leaned on his shoulder and tried to stop him from touching her foot.

B: *whimpering* Veer please, let it be, it's paining like hell...

V: Gharwali, relax... Abhi thik ho jayega...

B: *nodding sideways vigorously* Nahi nahi, plz, nahi...

V: *softly* Achha okk, ssshhh... Kuch nahi kar raha hoon main, bas dekh raha hoon... Shant...

He bent down towards her leg and checked it properly. He moved her foot a little and she whimpered, and he got the place where it had twisted. He sat up and held the upper part of her ankle with one hand, and the rest of the foot with the other hand.

V: *caring* Bani, Sweetheart, suno, your leg has got twisted... I will just twist it again to make it alright... Thoda sa dard hoga, but phir you will again be back to normal...Theek hai?!...

B: *perplexed* Nahi, Veer chhod do, I will not be able to tolerate the pain...

V: Main hoon na yaha, yakeen karo, kuch nahi hoga... Aise rahoge to zyada dard hoga na Baby?!..

Bani was too frightened to pay attention to the fact that he had called her Baby for the first time. She heard it but didn't take it to her mind.

B: *frightened* Par firse twist karte waqt bhi to dard hoga... Nahi Veer, main seh nahi paungi...

V: Main ekdam dheere se, sambhalke karunga Sweetheart... I will make sure you don't feel much pain...

B: You don't know Veer, I can't tolerate even the littlest of pain... Please...

V: *looking at her eyes* Do you trust me?!...

B: Yes I do, but...

V: Bas, then let me do this...

Veer started moving her foot in the opposite direction slowly. Bani clutched his hoodie tightly and buried her face in the crook of his neck in fear and pain. He touched her ankle with a finger while holding the foot with the rest of the fingers, and twisted it all of a sudden. She shrieked loudly and clutched the hoodie so tightly that it could almost rip off. Tears formed in her eyes as the pain was unbearable for her, and she kept weeping silently and taking deep breaths keeping her head on his shoulder. He instantly hugged her and caressed her back to soothe her. He whispered comforting words to calm her down.

V: *softly* Dekho, hogaya... Pair bilkul theek hogayi, ab tum chal sakti ho, kud sakti ho... Bas kuch second ki baat thi, aur tum kitna darr rahi thi... Maine kaha tha na, bilkul easily ho jayega...

B: *sobbing* Bohot dard hua...

V: *caressing her head* Gharwali, ab pair ko theek karne ke liye thora dard to sehna parega, hai na??!.. Now see, you can move your leg freely and it will not pain anymore...

She moved her foot normally, and it really didn't pain. Her leg was perfectly alright now. But, she couldn't come out of the pain that she experienced few seconds ago. She hugged Veer tightly and tried to gain comfort from him. He kept kissing her hair and caressed her back continuously. They stayed like that for few minutes and then Veer looked at the clock to realise that they would get late for their offices if they didn't go and get ready now. He tried to break the hug but she didn't want to leave him. He smiled at her cuteness and patted her back.

V: Sweetheart, I know you are feeling comfortable like this, even I am... But agar hum aur do minute bhi aise baithe rahe, to dono hi office ke liye late ho jayenge...

She blushed irritatedly at his first line, but then broke the hug and concealed her blush and looked at her gratefully. He smiled and squeezed her hand understanding what she wanted to say. They both didn't need words to communicate now, they could read each other's eyes and know what the other person wanted to say.

Bani smiled at him and got up. She quickly took out her clothes from the closet and went inside the washroom. He smiled remembering their each and every sweet and cute moments since the morning, and laid back on the bed to absorb this feeling.

               *********************
Veer was taking his clothes out from the closet when he heard Bani calling him from inside the washroom.

B: Veer, pani nahi aa rahi hai...

V: *loudly* Kya?!..Theek se dekho, maybe any tap is closed...

B: Arre main dekh ke hi baat kar rahi hoon, kisi bhi tap se paani nahi aa rahi...

V: *confused* How is it possible?! Maine khud subah pump chalaya tha...

B: To main kya jhoot bol rahi hoon?!.. Ab kya karu ye batao...

Veer went near the washroom door and knocked.
V: Let me check...

B: Haa, wait, do minute...

Bani quickly opened her bathrobe and wore her clothes again, and then went to open the door. She opened the door and Veer entered the washroom. He checked the basin taps and saw that water was really not coming out of the taps. He turned to look at Bani and saw her already looking at him with an 'I-told-you' look. He entered the glass shower cabin and she followed his trail. He turned the knob of the faucet and the normal tap but no water came out. He then went at the side and noticed that the knob of main water supply had been turned off. He turned and looked at Bani with an irritated face.

V: Ye knob kisne bandh kiya?!...

B: Maine...

V: *unbelievably* Ab tum main water supply hi bandh kar doge to paani kya aasman se aayega??...

B: *annoyed* Dekho, mujhe na samajh nahi aati ke kaunsa knob kiska hai... Itna complicated system hai iss washroom ka, sab gadbad ho jaati hai... Isse achha to guest room ka washroom hai, easy pissy... Hand shower, faucet, shower head, ceiling rain shower, side sprinkle shower, normal taps, uffffff.... Main sirf hand shower, faucet, aur shower head use karti hoon isliye mujhe unke knobs pata hai, baaki saare mujhe nahi malum...

Veer chuckled inwardly at her annoyance and turned on the main water supply. But as soon as he turned it on, water started pouring in full speed from the ceiling rain shower and the side sprinkle shower. Both Veer and Bani got startled and they got totally drenched. Veer cleared his face and looked at Bani exasperatedly. She was gasping for air and removing the wet hair strands from all over her face.

V: You had turned on the ceiling rain shower?!...

B: Arre...maine...check karte waqt... shayad...galti se...off karna...bhul gayi...

V: Shit yaar...

Bani moved away from the knob wall and Veer went near it to turn the showers off, when suddenly Bani's feet slipped and she gripped Veer's hoodie collar for support. She fell back on the glass wall with him on top of her. He quickly held the wall for support, while she closed her eyes in fear. Their face were very close to each other, only a few inches gap between their lips. Veer focused on her. Wet hair locks scattered on  her neck and shoulders, water trickling down from her forehead to her nose to her rosy lips, and going further down, eyes closed and heavy breathing, her hoodie sticking to her body, highlighting her curves, her chest heaving up and down, her hands gripping his collar tightly. Just at that moment, Veer realised that his wife was incredibly hot and sexy. He had never looked at her in that way, but today for the first time, he felt desire rising in his heart. He looked up at her face and his eyes got stuck at her rosy plumpy lips.

Bani slowly opened her eyes and looked at the devilishly handsome man standing in front of her, her man. She blinked a few times to adjust to the water, and looked at him properly. His hairs were wet and a few strands were on his forehead, water was dripping from them and moving down to his beard and lips. His eyes were fixed at her lips, and she could clearly see the raw desire and love in those dark brown orbs. His hands were on her bith side, holding on the wall, and the water drops were sliding down his triceps. His hoodie was stuck to his body, and the outline of his abs were visible. Her hands were gripping his hoodie, and that gave her a sudden happy feeling as if she was showing her right on him. She felt an unknown happiness and desire inside her to have him so close in such a place in such a way.

Bani pulled him a little closer in a way that it felt very unintentional. But Veer being Veer, he understood that she had pulled him closer deliberately. He smiled inwardly but didn't let her know that she was predictable in her act, as he did not want her to feel uncomfortable in any way. He felt happy to see her taking slow steps towards him in their intimacy. He cupped her face with one hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb. She looked directly at his eyes, and he could see the reflection of his love in her eyes. The look in her eyes were confident, depicting the fact fact that she also wanted the same thing that he wanted. He moved his hand towards her lips and rubbed the outline of her lower lip with his thumb. She shivered at the contact of his cold skin with her lips. He moved a little closer to her face, but then he realised that it was not the correct time to advance in their relationship like this. He wished to do it the right way, after confessing his feelings to her and hearing the same from her. The desire in his heart was unavoidable, and especially when he could see the same desire in her as well, but the urge of enjoying the moment in the perfect way at the prefect time was much more. He could feel that she was waiting impatiently for the kiss, but he knew that he would not be able to stop himself once he starts, because today the whole atmosphere around them was filled with a sudden desire and attraction. She kept looking at him, waiting for him to make the move. He came closer to her and quickly kissed on her cheek, and went out of the glass cabin after caressing her cheek for one last time. He shut the washroom door and came out.

He took a deep breath and apologized to her in his heart for spoiling the mood. He knew that what he did today was absolutely right. He took his clothes and went to the guest room to get ready. Bani turned off the showers and clutched the hoodie near her heart. She took a few deep breaths and calmed her irregular heartbeat. She was a little disappointed at him for ruining their moment so suddenly, but she soon understood that what he did was necessary. Otherwise, they both would have gone with the flow and regretted about it later on. The regret would not be because this happened, but because it did not happen how they both planned it to. Somewhere in her heart, she wanted this to happen, but she also knew that it would be better if everything happened in the correct order. She wanted to confess her love for him before taking the next step in their marriage. She blushed profusely realising what she had been thinking, and facepalmed herself shyly. She shook her head to clear the thoughts from her mind, and decided to get ready for office.

              ***********************
Bani came out of the washroom and saw that Veer was already in the room, arranging his files. She blushed again as she got the glimpse of their kiss, but then she noticed that Veer was in a hurry. He kept the files in his laptop bag and stood in front of the mirror to set his hair. He remembered that Tapish had told him to wear a tie and took out one from the closet. Bani decided not to disturb him and went to check her mobile. She saw Tapish had called her a few minutes ago, and scrunched his eyebrows.

B: Tapish bhai ne mujhe kyun call kiya tha?!...

V: Unhone mujhe call call kiya do bar, but main guest room mein ready horaha tha aur mobile iss room mein tha to maine nahi uthaya... Isliye tumhe call kiya... Meeting prepone hogaya hai, jaldi jaana hai...

B: Oh achha... (DD ne bhi call kiya tha, let me call him...)

V: *talking to himself irritatedly* What's with Tapish bhai and his obsession with ties... Urghhh... Aur iss tie ko bhi aj hi ulajhna tha...

She kept the mobile on the bed and turned towards Veer. She saw him trying to pull out th ends of the tie in frustration. She quickly went and stood in front of him. She removed his hands from the tie and started opening the wrong knot and doing it properly. He looked at the mirror and set his hair while she made him wear his tie rightly. She moved back and looked at the tie gladly once she was done. Veer looked down at his tie, then at the mirror, and finally smiled thankfully looking at him.

V: Thanks Sweetheart, it's perfect...

B: *happy* Hehe, welcome...

V: Ab main chalta hoon... Office jaake breakfast karlunga... Ghar aane mein kate hoga aj, almost 8:30-9:00...

B: Ohh, it's okk... Breakfast karlena surely... And, all the very best for your meeting...

V: Thanks... It was really needed... *smile* Now I'm sure it will be a great success... Bye...

He took his laptop bag and mobile, and left. Bani smiled thinking about his words. He never left a chance to make her feel special and important in his life... She turned towards the mirror to make her hair, and went down with her bag and mobile after sometime. She left for office after having her breakfast.

             **********************
Bani was working in her cabin when the door opened. She looked up and aw DD entering the cabin. She smiled at him but he came and directly sat opposite her and raised his eyebrows at her.

DD: Maine subah call kiya tha?! Kaha thi tu?!...

B: *casually* I had better work to do at that time...

DD: Ohh..*realising* Ohhh...OHHHH... Okaayyyy... Okkayyy... *fake cough and rubbing his nasal bridge* Sorry haa...

B: *hiding her blush* Hmm...

DD had understood what Bani meant because he himself used the same line to answer Bani to mean that he was busy spending quality time with Shraddha. And now, Bani used the same line to reply to DD for the first time. DD controlled himself from teasing her as it was her first time, but he made sure to tease her the next time. He smiled inwardly and changed the topic.

DD: Waise, tune secret code language use kiya Veer ke saath?!...

B: *chuckling* Shrads ne tujhe bata diya?!...

DD: *cheeky smile* Obviously... Bata bata, kya kiya tune?!...

B: Maine 1 4 3 kaha usse, wo samjha nahi...

DD: *laugh* What, really?!...

B: *rolling her eyes* Tu to chup hi reh.. Tu bhi samajh nahi paaya tha, gadha... Shrads ne tujhe lagatar 2 mahine hint diya that she loves you back, but you were too dumb to understand that...

DD: *frown* Ok ok fine... *smirk* And what about the foreign languages?!..

B: *giggling* Yeah, I used Spanish once... But not French, because I guess he also knows a lil bit French... Aj try karungi...

DD: *smile* Good luck with that...

B: *chuckling* Yeahh... Ab kaam pe concentrate kare?!..

DD: *sighing dramatically* Huhhh ok..

Bani laughed at his expressions and started discussing the project with him.

              **********************
Bani returned home at about 8:00 pm and entered the Farmhouse after unlocking the door. She sighed remembering that Veer would return late. Nowadays, nothing seemed good without him around. She smiled at her own thoughts, and went upstairs.

Veer parked his car in the garage and looked at the watch to see that it was ten minutes left to strike 9. He got out of the car and entered the hall. He kept the car keys in the key holder and was going towards their room when he spotted Bani in the kitchen. He called her and she turned happily.

B: Heyyy, hiii..How was the meeting?!...

V: *tired voice* Hii... Yeah, it was great *gesturing it by his hand👌*...

B: *smile* Naiiceee... Tired much?!..

V: *sigh* Yeahh... Main fresh hoke aata hoon, fir baat karenge, okay Sweetheart?!...

B: Bien sûr...

V: *impressed smile* Ahaa.. J'aime ça... *wink*

Bani smiled being embarrassed, and he smilingly went to freshen up. He slapped her forehead for getting caught in her French accent, and focussed back on making his favourite gajar ka halwa.

Veer came down after taking a good bath and changing into his tshirt and jeans. As soon as he came near the last stair, a sweet aroma hit his nostrils. He inhaled the smell and gulped his saliva realising that Bani was making Gajar ka Halwa. He hurriedly went towards the kitchen but stopped in his tracks when he heard Bani's words. She was facing her back towards him and talking with someone on a call.

B: The two months are coming to an end this Sunday.. ......... Yeahh, finally I will get rid, ...... *chuckle* Yeah exactly, I can't wait to come back there.. ......... Obviously, I will die if I stay like this for one day more.. ......... You know that right?!.. .......... *giggling shyly* Aap bhi na.. ....... I agree that this was good, but not more than what we planned.. ......... Yeah yeah, it's totally on.. ......... Apne bata diya unhe, he must be happy right?!.. ........... Pata tha mujhe.. ........ Haa, I think he also wants this... But how does that matter, you know what I mean?!..*giggle* ........ *shy voice* Stop it, please...

Veer's world came crashing down as he misinterpreted the meaning behind her words. She had decided to leave him and go back to her house, and she was telling it to someone from her parental side... She felt happy and good with him, but not more than what she felt with her family... She was eagerly waiting to go back... And what he wanted didn't matter to her... He thought that maybe she decided this because of his worst behaviours with her in the initial days of their marriage. He could see his dreams of forever shattering right in front of his eyes. He felt as if someone had taken his heart out from his chest. He couldn't breathe properly and tears formed in his eyes. He walked backwards, unable to take this guilt and heart-wrenching feeling. He ran to the main door, grabbed his car keys from the key holder, and went out closing the main door with a thud.

Bani heard the thud sound of the door and flinched. She quickly cut the call after telling the person that something urgent had come up. She kept her mobile on the kitchen slab and turned off the burner, and ran to check where he had gone. She opened the main door and went out, but he had already left by then. She went to the garage but couldn't see his car there. She sighed worriedly and went inside. She dialled his number about 7 times, but everytime he declined the call. On the 8th try, she found his line engaged. And on the 9th try, his mobile was switched off. She thought that maybe his mobile battery had died and that's why it was switched off. Bani sat on the sofa, waiting for him to return so that she could give him a nice scolding for declining her call.

Veer didn't know where he was going to, he just kept driving with tears in his eyes. His mobile rang on the dashboard, showing on the screen that 'Sweetheart❤️' was calling. He declined the call, and continued doing that for the next 6 times. He was in no mood to talk to her right after what he had heard, and he didn't want to shout or react badly at her or breakdown in front of her. He knew she cared for him and perhaps she would change his decision against het wish after seeing him breaking down, and he didn't want to force his wishes on her this time. His heart told him that maybe he was misunderstanding her words and overthinking about the situation, but he was not in a right state of mind to think logically about it. He decided to meet Tapish once to talk out about this. He called Tapish and informed that he was coming to their house to discuss about something very urgently, and cut the call without hearing his reply. He switched off his mobile and threw it on the passenger seat, and kept driving recklessly.

He was feeling suffocated with the negative thoughts clouding his mind. He switched on the fm radio to divert his mind a little. The song Shayad came up, and the lyrics exactly depicted his condition at the moment.

Shayad kabhi na keh saku main tumko,
Kahe bina samajhlo tum shayad..
He realised that he could not confess his love, and maybe he would not get a chance to confess his love again. He hoped for her to understand his love atleast once, through his actions till date.

Shayad mere khayalo mein tum ekdin,
Milo mujhe kahi pe gum shayad..
He hoped that she would realise his love for her and come back again in his life after going back, very soon.

Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi..
Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi..
Na chahiye kuch tumse zyada, tumse kam nahi...
He knew that his life has gotten so entangled with her that he won't be able to live without her. He just wanted her beside him, and he would stay happy with that.

Jo tum na ho, to hum bhi hum nahi..
Jo tum na ho, to hum bhi hum nahi..
Na chahiye kuch tumse zyada, tumse kam nahi...
He felt that if she goes away, a part of him would go away with her. He would lose himself and would be living like a dead man. He did not want her love anymore now, he just wanted her companionship.

...music...
He recalled hiw happy they were in the morning, kissing and teasing each other, and within few hours his life changed drastically. His eyes got pooled with tears as he thought about her.

Aankhon ko khwaab dena,
Khud hi sawaal karke, khud hi jawab dena,
Teri taraf se..
He remembered how he used to plan their future together and how he used to imagine her reactions and smile inwardly.

Bin kaam kaam karna,
Jaana kahi ho chahe, har baar hi guzaarna
Teri taraf se..
He remembered how he kept himself busy when she was away from him, and he had realised his love then and had gone to meet her with different excuses for two consecutive days.

Ye koshishein, to hongi kam nahi..
Ye koshishein, to hongi kam nahi..
Na chahiye kuch, tumse zyada tumse kam nahi...
He decided that he would do the same and continue watching her secretly. He knew that she wasn't leaving right now without giving him an explanation, but his mind kept thinking such negative things.

He did not hear the next lines as he kept thinking about his Sweetheart and her each and every antics and unique ways and expressions. He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not see the bus coming from the opposite side. The loud horn of the bus broke his chain of thoughts, and he looked at the front to see the bus coming towards his car in high speed. His eyes were filled with tears and hence his vision was unclear, and on top of that, he got startled with this sudden situation. He turned the steering wheel and crossed the bus by luck, but instead of applying the breaks, he pressed the accelerator. He couldn't control the car anymore, and the car went into the roadside area and the car collided with a big tree. His head hit the steering wheel and everything went blank in his vision.

The radio went off with these lines.
Jo tum na ho, rahenge hum nahi..
Jo tum na ho, to hum bhi hum nahi..
Jo tum na ho... Jo tum na ho....
