Vani - Snippets

Parda (2)

After lunch Veer had to go with his dad and Pawan for some cheel business. He tried to get out of it but couldn't find a suitable excuse that would work so had no choice but to go after all. Bani sulked on the couch thinking that he was still mad at her and this was just an excuse for him to stay away from her. Bani...zara idhar aana. Veer called out to her from the office. Bani's heart began to race and she quickly made her way to her husband in excitement. When she got there, Veer was standing there with the bouquet of roses and box of chocolate-covered strawberries. Bani timidly walked up to him and frowned. Yeh chocolate aur roses? Kya hua? Mayuri ko passand nahi aaye? Lagta hai uske standard ke gifts nahi the...Veer burst out in laughter while Bani rolled her eyes at him. He looked back at her and shook his head while still laughing a bit. Tch tch....tumein kya lagta hai? Main sach mein apni sweetheart ke favourite roses aur chocolate uss kya kehti ho tum...ha...makeup ki dukaan...usko doonga? Tch. Kabhi nahi. He brought a strawberry to her lips which Bani pushed away. Lekin kal toh tum badha bulaa rahe the usko? Tumne jaan boojke uska naam liya...muje gussa karne ke liye? Veer sighed and put the strawberry back in the box. He held Bani's hands in his and rubbed her moonstone ring as he softly explained to her. Bani...main naaraz tha tumse...muje lagga ke tum sach mein uss Jai ke saath date parr ja rahi ho...toh maine...maine gusse mein jhoot boldiya ke yeh gifts Mayuri ke liye the. Bani frowned and stood closer to Veer. He took this as a sign that she was feeling comfortable so he put his left hand around her back and watched her face intently as she looked down. Lekin tumne usko bulaaya...humaare kamre mein...aggar voh sach mein aajaati aur mere flowers aur chocolates ko lejaati to? Veer blushed at her adorable pout and pinched her arm. Nope. Kabhi nahi. Pehli bhaat...muje patta tha ke voh baahar gayi hai...toh voh kaise aati? Aur doosri bhaat...aggar voh aa bhi jaati aur tumaare gifts ko haath lagaathi toh main pakka uspar chilaatha. Maine yeh sabh meri cute gharwali ke liye kareedha...sweetheart...muje dekho...Bani looked up at Veer. She saw the love in his eyes and wanted to look away because she didn't know how to let her guard down enough to maintain his eye contact, but she kept looking. Day by day she was finding it difficult to not look deep into his grey eyes and get lost in them.

Veer rubbed his thumb along her jawline and spoke in a hushed tone. His voice was so low that Bani had to step closer to him until she felt his faint coffee breath on her lips. Bani...I'm sorry...maine tumein itna kuch kehdiya...ek bhaar bi nahi socha ke tumpar kya bheeti hogi uss Shakura ki vajah se...yahaan takh yeh bhi kehdiya ke tum...tum usko miss karr rahi ho...aur fir uss dhabewala ka bhi ilzaam lagaaya...main bauhat sharminda hoon Bani...tumaara saath dene ke vajaayi maine uss aadmi ka naam liya jisne tumaare saath itni zabardasti kiyi...main dil se maafi maangta hoon Bani...main sach mein...sach mein aisa nahi hoon...I really care about you Bani...tum mere liye...sabh kuch ho...aur maine...maine tumaare saath kitna burra bartaav kiya. Bani smiled and shook her head. She reached her hand up, wiped the small tear that was struggling to fall from his lash line, and replied Veer tum guess mein the aur main bhi...hum dono ne galti kiyi na...toh abh chodho unn baaton ko...tumaara yeh rone vaala chehra cute toh hai lekin muje tumaara voh badmaash Veeranshu Singhania vaala avtar acha lagta hai. Veer gasped at how she was openly flirting with him. He looked at her red cheeks and put his hands on either shoulder while she stood in front of the table and bent forward to get a chocolate. Kya bhaat hai gharwali? Parda kya lagaadiya tum toh muje cute kehne laggi? Abh maan lo na...you like me. You have a crush on me...bolo bolo bolo. Bani turned her head and put a strawberry in his open mouth to stop him from talking. She giggled at his adorable expression and slapped his cheek. Kuch bhi huh? Abh muje disturb matth karna...kitne dinno ke bhaad muje meri favourite chocolate covered strawberries milli aur yeh phool bhi sookh jaayenge. Abh tum office jao aur jab tum vaapas aao ge tabh muje tumse kuch aur bhaat karni hai...her mind trailed off to how she would apologize to Veer about the pool incident. Veer saw the worried expression on her face and rubbed her arm assuringly. Sweetheart tum kabhraayi kyun ho? Sabh theek toh hai na? Uss...uss Shakura ne kuch aur toh nahi kiya? He began to panic thinking that perhaps there was more to the Shakura story than she was letting on. Bani saw the worry on his face and turned around now. She rubbed his chest affectionately and cupped his cheeks as he looked at her face for answers. Veeranshu...shhh...kuch nuy hua...usne aur koi zabardasti nahi kiyi. Aur kaise bhi karti aadhi- Right away she stopped herself. She suddenly remembered that she would have to confess to this as well. But how? And was it right? She was given this aadhi naagin identity to get revenge from the cheels, and from Veeranshu Singhania who was supposed to be her biggest enemy. Now she was thinking of telling him that she's an aadhi naagin? The same aadhi naagin who killed him centuries ago? Bani? Bani kya hua? Sweetheart...main gharr pe hi rehta hoon...tumaari tabiyat kharaab lagg rahi hai. Bani looked back at her husband as he rubbed her head. She shook her face and turned around to grab the flowers and chocolate. Mmhmm. Kitne dinno ke bhaad tum khaam parr ja rahe ho...tum jao. Main theek hoon. Vaise bhi, Meera di aarahi hai movie dekhne. Main sach mein theek hoon Veeranshu....abh jao na! Bani giggled while she pushed a stubborn and annoyed Veer out the door.
