~20. Bhaag Bani Bhaag🏃‍♀

B: Relax!!

She said it like Veer does. Veer cracked up a smile and pulled her into a hug again. Their first hug moments ago had ignited a new need for physical warmth in the two. They melted in each other's embrace.

'VEER????'

The both heard a female voice and parted. A pair of eyes looked at them really shocked.

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

'MAA?!'

Veer stood there shocked. Bani looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her. What should she do? Should she address her as Veer's wife would have? But she is not his wife! Given the situation, she would misunderstand. Bani looked around nervously.

(Imagine Ravee Ma'am, that is, Chandrakala as Veer's mom)

Ch: Ye tu kya kr raha hai? Ye ladki kon hai??

She looked at Bani. She was wearing a mangalsutra and had sindoor.

Ch: Ye to shaadi shuda hai! Tu ek shadi shuda ladki ke saath aise flat me??? Chal kya raha hai Veer?

V: Maa, vo aap jaisa soch rahi hai waisa kuch nahi hai. Aap achanak yahan ..?

Ch: Mujhe laga mera beta yahan akele reh raha hai, do mahine ho gaye hai....sambhal aati hoon...accha hua aa gayi..tu to-

They were interrupted by Vani's landlady.

L: Bani beta, tum apna phone mere ghar pr hi bhool gayi..(looks at Chandrakala who was standing at the door) Ye kon hai?

V: Ye-ye meri maa hai aunty..

L: Oh, Namaste!

Ch: Aap?

L: Mai makan malkin. Vo Bani mere ghar ayi thi toh phone bhool gayi. Mai dene aa gayi. Accha ab chalti hoon. Bani beta acche se khatir karo apni saas ki..

Ch: Saas??

L: Haan! Waise apki bahu hai bohot pyaari...mujhe kaam hai, chalti hoon.

She left. Chandrakala looked at them shocked.

Ch: Ye teri biwi hai Veer???

~~~~~~~~~

It had been one hour since Chandrakala's unannounced arrival. She was crying on the sofa. Veer was kneeling in front of her. Bani was standing nervously with a glass of water and box of tissues.

Ch: (Sobs) Mere beta ne aisa kyu kiya...(Takes a tissue) Maine kbhi kissi cheez ke liye isse nahi roka...(Sobs)...Mai toh bohot open minded bhi hoon....Mujhe koi issue nahi hota...Isne mujhe bola kyu nahi...mai shaadi krwa deti...(Cries louder) Mujhe mere bete ne apni shaadi attend krne ka bhi mauka nahi diya...

V: Maa kb se ro rahe ho...maaf kr do.. I am sorry.

Ch: Chup!!! (Holds his ear) tune ye kyun kiya...humare ghar me kbhi kissi ne koi bhi rok-tok ki hai? To tune kyu nahi bataya???

B: Aunty ji, inhe chor dijiye...we are very sorry ..vo-

Ch: Tum kyu sorry bol rahi ho beta..Mujhe tumse kyu shikayat hogi...Mera beta hi mujhe ignore kr raha hai toh bahu se kya umeed lagana...Haye, kitne sapne they mere man ne..

V: Maa kyu itna drama kr rahi ho..

Ch: (Holds his ear tighter) Drama??? Baki ghar walo ko pata chalne de, phir pata chalega..

B: Aunty ji vo-

Veer hinted her not to reveal. They somehow calmed Chandrakala down. She went to wash her face and freshen up.
