In the middle of the night Veer woke up and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw the most beautiful face in the whole world, his gharwali's face, what's more beautiful was that she was sleeping. There was this calmness, this serenity on her face.

He very quietly got up and admired her face. Suddenly he saw the creases on her forehead and sweat beads forming on her forehead.

He saw her getting impatient and mumbling 'Veer tumhe kuch nahi hoga. Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dungi. Veer. Veer'

And before he could do anything she woke up from her sleep and saw him. She hurriedly grabbed his face in her palms and spoke 'Veer tum thik ho? I promise main tumhe kuch nahi hone dungi' She checked his face for any injuries or scars and then took him in a bone crushing hug.

Veer all this while was clueless of what was happening, he was shocked when he was crushed by her tensed body. He never saw this side of Bani. Why was she so scared? What dream she saw that she panicked so much.

It took him a few seconds before reciprocating that hug, he for the very first time hugged her like he was hers. As soon as Bani felt his arms around her she calmed a bit and softened the hold she had around him.

Bani saw a nightmare, she saw that she didn't reach on time and she lost Veer forever, she panicked and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw Veer very close to her. She didn't think much before taking him in her arms, she wanted to feel that he was okay, safe and sound with her in her arms. Wait what?

She broke the hug as soon as she realised what she did. She tried to avoid his questioning glares.

Veer asked when she broke the hug 'Bani kya hua? Aisa kya dekha tumne jo tum itna dar gayi ho?'

Vani spoke wiping the sweat beads from her forehead and tears from her eyes 'umm. Kuch nahi Veer. main thik hu. Vaise tum kyu jage hue ho? Sab thik hai na? She was about to panic but Veer calmed her down by saying 'ha main thik hu. Tum batao ki yeh sab kya tha? Kya ho raha hai?'

Bani spoke, still shivering but avoiding his question 'Veer kuch nahi hua. I told you bas kuch din.'

Veer spoke, dropping the topic and trying to make her smile 'acha chalo thik hai. Come I will hug you sab thik ho jayega' but what shocked him was that Bani actually came and rested her head on his chest and sat in his lap. She rested her one arm around his back securely and with another arm she held his shoulder.

Veer was tense now 'Bani tum thik ho na? Koi pareshani hai toh please share I swear jaan le lunga main jisne tumhe tang kia.'

Bani spoke hugging him 'thik hu main. And i know tumhare hote koi mujhe kuch nahi keh sakta. Chalo ab so jao.'

Veer spoke 'Really Gharwali, vaise thik bhi hai you are in a very comfortable place (he said eyeing his body and posture) but I am not at all comfortable.

Bani got up and sat on bed and said 'sorry. Maine realise nahi kia.' she blushed and Veer spoke 'tum ek hi bar mar do na aise sharmaogi toh kaise chalega?'

Bani replied 'shut up Veer' she blushed even more. Veer just smiled seeing her blush.

He lied on the bed and extended his one arm for Bani to settle.

Bani saw that extended arm but hesitated as she didn't know what to do? But her heart said 'Bani for once just flow with the moment' and she just lied on his chest.

Veer securely put his arm around her back as she leaned on his chest. He has no idea what's happening. What is the reason behind this soft side of Bani but internally he too didn't want these moments to end. As much as he wants to know the reason behind this change but still loves this slow bond they are sharing from the last couple of days.

The couple slept in each other's arms peacefully.

Bani in her sleep roamed her hand on the bed to find it empty. She shot her eyes open to find Veer nowhere on the bed. She panicked 'Veer, Veer kaha gaya? Bani kyu soi tu. Bholenath uski raksha karna please' tears forming in her eyes.
She in a hurry was about to get up when saw Veer coming towards her with a tray in his hand.
Bani without thinking got up and blasted on him 'Veer kaha the tum? Tumhara dimag kharab hai? Tum jante bhi ho mujhe kitne bure khayal aa rahe the? Had hai Veer. For once just for once kisi or ke bare mein bhi soch lia karo'

Veer was shocked with this outburst as he didn't know the reason behind this outburst 'Sweetheart tum kyu itna panic kar rahi ho? Main toh bas breakfast banane gaya tha'

Bani spoke without thinking 'nahi khana mujhe. Tum hi kha lo'

Veer sat on the bed with a pout on his face.

Bani saw this and went to him after relaxing a bit, she sat on the bed facing him 'Veer tum kyu gaye khana banane? Main bana deti na?'

Veer spoke 'don't talk to me' he behaved like a kid. Bani found him very cute, she has not seen this side of him. She has heard people behaving like kids with people they love, but for the first time she is experiencing it in real life. She came closer to him and held her ears 'Okay baba I am sorry.'

Veer spoke now seriously 'itna kyu dar rahi ho Bani? Kya dar hai jo tumhe itna sata raha hai? Main nahi dekh sakta tumhe aise'

Bani spoke 'bata dungi. Abhi khana khalo.' Veer spoke 'pehle tum khao main tumhare liye bana ke laya hu' He fed her the first bite and she said 'acha hai bahut. Thank you. Ab tum khao.'

They both fed each other the food and enjoyed a good time.

Later that day Bani was in the washroom draping her saree when Veer unknowingly got in and said 'Sorry Bani. mujhe nahi pata tha' saying so he closed the door and went out.

Bani thought 'I was such a fool to not recognise that imposter before. Veer respects my privacy from day 1 and that imposter came inside knowing that I was changing.'

She changed and came out when Veer again said 'Gharwali sach mein mera koi intention nahi tha aise barge in karne ka'

Bani spoke 'it's okay Veer. main janti hu' Veer was shocked, he asked 'sach mein janti ho mujhe itna?'

Bani replied 'janne lagi hu' saying only these words could see his expressions changing, guilt from happiness. She liked it.

It's been 2-3 days that Vani spent literally full full days with each other seeing each other, knowing each other.
Bani is totally head over heels for Veer but somewhere she knows the hatred Veer has for Snakes. She also knows he loves her assuming a human. That's why it is even more important for her to live a lifetime in these 4-5 days. She somewhere knows the reality that she can't spend her whole life with him. It's her first love in true sense as by now she knows that with Jai what she felt was not love, she still needs to figure this out but for now she is focusing on what she truly wants.

Veer was taking rest when Bani went to him and just admired him, she wanted to just capture these moments for lifetime.

She couldn't control herself from bending and placing a kiss on his cheek, butterflies started fluttering in her tummy as soon as her lips touched his cheek.
She wanted her lips to linger there for a longer time but fear of him waking up made her part. She got up and thought 'Bani yeh tujhe kya ho raha hai? Are you falling for him? Par yeh feeling galat kyu nahi lag rahi? Yeh sab itna sahi kyu lag raha hai, oh God main pagal ho jaungi. Is ladke ne mujhe pagal kar dia hai.' she blushed as she saw him sleeping peacefully and what she did to him.

Her mind objected 'Vaise Bani tu use toh kabhi apne pas nahi ane deti or ab uske nind mein hone ka fayda utha rahi hai?' then her heart very quickly replied 'ha toh. Pehle situation alag thi or ab alag hai. Ab agar vo kuch karega toh main thodi use mana karungi.' She herself blushed on what she said.

'Itna blush kyu kar rahi ho biwi?' Bani was startled hearing this, 'oh God please Veer ne kuch na notice kia ho.

She spoke 'umm kuch nahi. Bas yuhi.' Veer found it strange but only if he knew what was going in his gharwali's mind.

Days passed when finally Veer was feeling perfectly fine and now he wanted all his answers. He saw Bani sitting on bed checking some strange book. He spoke 'Bani we need to talk.'

Bani kept the book aside and spoke, her voice was trembling 'Ao baitho Veer'

She spoke 'Veer pucho jo puchna hai.'

Veer asked 'hum yaha kya kar rahe hai? Tum kyu itna dari hui ho itne dino se. Tell me every single thing in detail.'

Bani took a deep breath and told him everything that happened when he was not there, every single thing. Entry of fake Veer, jai's truth, they capturing Veer in a trap. Every single detail.

Veer was shocked 'tumhe kaise pata laga ki vo main nahi hu?'

Bani replied 'kafi chize thi Veer jaise ki vo ring jo tumne meri pehni thi, vo uske hath mein nahi thi. Uska mujhe itna chipakna and then usko bohot kuch pata tha tumhare bare mein lekin sab kuch nahi pata tha. Bas mujhe shak hua and main tumhe bachane aa gayi'

Veer spoke 'lekin tumne mujhe kaise bachaya? Tumhe kaise pata ki mujhe us jaal se kaise bachana hai'

Bani spoke scared, she was scared to lose him 'Veer maine apne bare mein tumse ek bohot badi sachai chupai hai'

Veer asked 'kya?'

Bani spoke not meeting his eyes 'main insan nahi hu Veer, main ek ichadhari Nagin hu. Main tumhare ghar tum sabko marne ayi thi. I am sorry Veer.'

Veer was shocked, first he can't tolerate lies and second he hates snakes. He spoke 'Bani tumne jo kia vo bohot galat hai, sirf ek request aaj ke bad mere aaspas bhi mat ana or agar tumne mere gharwalo ko chot pahuchane ki koshish ki toh I will kill.' He got up saying so and was about to go when bani held his hand.

'Veer. nahi aungi vapis kabhi lekin sirf ek bar I want to hug you. One last time' Veer didn't say anything so Bani took that as a signal.

She hugged him tightly. Very tightly. She held onto Veer as if her life depended on him.

Veer didn't reciprocate the hug he controlled himself to not do that.

Bani broke the hug and looked in his eyes but he looked somewhere else.

Next what Bani did shocked Veer to heaven, he felt a kiss on his heart area and lips.

Yes Bani placed a kiss on his heart area and a peck on his lips and said 'Dhyan rakhna apna PAti dev'.

That mere sentence sent shivers down his spine but he went from there leaving a crying Bani.

Bani spoke 'yeh moments mere liye bohot precious hai Veer. inke sahare main puri zindagi jee sakti hu.'

Veer went home and was straight away going to his room when he found Shukla and MAyuri on his way. Seeing Veer both had an expression of shock.

Shukla asked 'Veer baba aap yaha?' Veer asked rudely 'or kaha hounga?'

Mayuri spoke covering him 'are inka matlab hai tum thik ho. We are happy.'

Mayuri then asked 'vaise Bani ko dekha hai kya?' Veer in his anger replied 'nam mat lo uska mere aage.'

Shukla asked 'kyu kya hua?' Veer spoke 'kuch nahi. Mandir ke pas vale ghar mein hai' and he left.

As soon as he left Shukla and MAyuri called JAi and told him everything.

Veer went to his room and closed the door, he in his anger broke the vase and mirror. Everything in the room reminded him of her. 'Kyun Bani kyun kiya tumne mere sath aisa. Pyar karta hu main tumse and itna bada dhoka dia mujhe' he heard the ping of his phone.

He took it out from his pocket and was about to throw it on the floor when he saw Bani's name flashing on the screen.

'Veer please Shukla or MAyuri se satark rehna, vo dono bhi Jai or us fake Veer se mile hue hai. Please Veer dhyan rakhna apna' Veer was shocked reading this. He thought to himself 'oh shit. Maine Bani ki jaan ko khatre mein dal diya. No no no aisa nahi ho sakta.' he then remembered each and every moment they have spent in these 4-5 days. How she took care of him and how in the past also she has saved him. 'Sweetheart tumhare pati dev aa rahe hai. Tumhe us dhabevale and gang se bachane or kuch adhuri chize puri karne' he touched his lips uttering the last line.

Bani was walking in the house thinking 'HEy Bholenath Veer ki raksha karna please. USe kuch na ho bholenath'

'Uski toh Raksha kar lenge Bholenath par tumhe kon bachaega humse? Adi Naagin' JAi spoke entering the house.

Bani saw the source of the voice she heard, and she was hell angry seeing JAi there. 'Tumhari itni himmat ki tum yahan aaye ho'

Jai replied 'himat toh kya hai meri tumhe abhi pata nahi hai. Aaj jab tumhe marunga main toh pata lagega'

Bani replied 'tum maroge mujhe? Haha. dekhte hai'

Jai spoke 'main hi marunga tujhe don't worry. Vaise Veer kaha hai? Dikhai nahi de raha'

Bani's eyes got red with anger as soon as he took Veer's name 'nam bhi mat lo uska apni gandi zubaan se' Jai spoke 'ohho Adi Naagin ko gussa aa raha hai. Vaise ek baat samajh nahi ayi Bani tum toh nafrat karti ho na Veer se phir use bachaya kyun? Mar jane dia hota use'

Bani spoke 'zabaan sambhal ke baat karo JAi, or rahi bat bachane ki toh ek bat tum bhi sunlo jab tak main Veer ke sath hu usko tum chu(touch) bhi nahi sakte'

Jai asked 'oh really? Kahi pyar vyar toh nahi ho gaya us cheel se?'

Bani spoke lost in her thoughts 'ho toh gaya hai lekin pata nahi yeh thik hai ke nahi'

JAi replied 'chalo kyunki tum marne wali ho ek baat bata du tumhe. Veer hi tumhara pyaar hai, bholenath ne tumhari or meri jodi nahi, uski or tumhari jodi banai thi. Or sirf is janam mein nahi pichle janam mein bhi lekin afsos us janam mein bhi tumne use khud dasa tha or is janam mein main tumhe dasunga or tumhari sari shaktia meri hongi Bani urf Adi NaginNagin. Haha'

Bani was shocked to hell listening to all of this but one thing that made her happy was that her love for Veer is correct she spoke 'mujhe Veer ko batana hoga.' and she unlocked her phone.
Jai saw that and took his NAg roop and snatched the phone 'or tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki main tumhe yeh sab karne dunga? Bewakuf ho Bani tum. Aaj tum yaha akeli ho, mere or tumhare alava yaha koi nahi hai.'

'Bewakuf toh tu hai dhabevale jo tujhe laga ki meri gharwali akeli hai.'

Bani and JAi both looked towards the door and saw Veer coming in. Jai was pissed off seeing Veer there but Bani she was so happy seeing Veer, she ran towards him and mumbled 'Veer'

'Veer tum..' Veer shushed her 'shant ho jao gharwali. Maine sab sun lia.'

Veer spoke after taking a pause 'waise mere jane se pehle tumne kuch kaha tha or kia tha, main kisi ka udhar nahi rakhta. May I?'

Bani blushed and nodded a bit, he placed his lips on hers and spoke 'I love you gharwali'

Jai was burning seeing them together, seeing them lost in a moment. He attacked BAni but Veer saved her and attacked him 'Bani ko akele samajhne ki galti mat kariyo dhabevale. Mere hote hue tu isko touch bhi nahi kar sakta marna toh bohot dur ki bat hai.'

Bani held Veer's hand to show her support for him. They both as a team killed JAi.

BAni spoke 'Veer kya tum mujhe apni zindagi mein rehne ka mauka doge?'

Veer replied 'Sweetheart I thought tum samajhdar ho. Kiss karke breakup karu itna hatke style bhi nahi hai mera. Or main tumse dur nahi reh sakta phir chahe tum galat ho ya nahi'

Bani spoke 'I love you mere pati dev' Veer spoke pulling her by her waist 'haye tum kisi din jaan leke manogi'

Banai replied teasingly 'ha Vaise PAndit ji ne bhi kaha tha ki hum ek dusre ka Raksha KAvach honge, lekin main toh tumhari jaan le sakti hu.'

Veer replied 'hmm. Vaise meri jaan toh tum mein basti hai toh kaise logi?'
Bani just hugged him 'Please never ever leave me again.'

Veer hugged her more tightly 'tum bhi mat chod ke jana mujhe kabhi' Bani spoke still hugging him 'pakka.'
