Vani - Snippets

Parda (3)

Tum St. Xaviers College gayi thi na? Bani looked over at him slightly taken aback and slowly nodded. H-ha...lekin time kaise patta? Veer threw his head back in laughter and replied Muje tumaare baare mein sabh patta hai sweetheart. Stalker hoon tumaara...that's basic stalking 101. Bani slapped his arm pretending she wasn't amused by his joke. Acha? Aur kya kya jaante ho mere bhaare mein? Veer wrinkled his chin as he thought about everything he knows about his sweetheart. Okay...tum only child ho, bachpan mein mom dad margaye, birthday September 11 hai...Virgo...that's why you're so stuck up. Bani laughed and shook her head as he continued. Kabhi Mumbai ke baahar nahi gayi kyunke growing up you couldn't afford it aur tumaari voh cheap chaachi bi paise nahi deti thi...but don't worry main tumein poori duniya aur yaahan takh chaand jaake bhi gumaaoon ga. Favourite animal is panda aur lions, horses se darr lagta hai, favourite colour is teal, favourite workout is pilates, slow drivers se sark nafrat karti ho, bachpan mein doctor bann-na chaahti thi lekin needle dekh ke tum bohosh hojaati ho...aur...Veer took a deep breath and continued. As he did Bani's mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide in shock. Sapna hai mehnat karke kudh ki ghaadi karrido aur sea facing bungalow, swimming aur biking ka shauk hai, pets nahi hai lekin galli ke strays ko tum rozz khaana kilaati ho, boyfriends kabhi nahi the...thank God nuy toh mujse khoon ho jaata. Celebrity crush, unfortunately, hai Saif Ali Khan aur Brad Pitt, raath ko spicy noodles aur gol gappe khaane ka mann karta hai, favourite ice cream flavour is coffee and mango. Oh yeah and- Bani gripped Veer's arm tight and waved her hands in front of him in a negative. Bas bas...muje aur nahin sunn-na...Main maan gayi Veeranshu Singhania. Meri inti stalking kiyi? Veer...that's an invasion of my privacy. Veer slowly down and came to a stop at a red light. He turned his body slightly in her direction and frowned. Stalker toh main bass mere mann mein tha. Actual mein maine koi stalking nahi kiyi...yeh sabh toh uss loudmouth Mehek aur Dehek ne muje bataaya shaadi ke bhaad. Tumaari behene toh kaafi bewafa nikli? Bani opened her mouth wide and took her phone out in anger. Abhi uss do titliyon  ko phone karti hoon. Meri sabh bhaatein bhataadi tumko?! Veer grabbed the phone and put it on the side of his door.

Sweetheart chill...chodh do unn bichaariyon ko. Vaise bhi...tum toh nahi bhataati yeh sabh na? Aur ha...mujeh ek bhaat bi pattah hai jo kissi ne muje nahi bhataayi.  Tumaara ek exam bhaaki hai business degree ke liye...aur tum already do bhaar fail karr chukki ho. Professor tume bass yeh aakhri bhaar try karne ki koshish de raha hai na? Bani settled back in her seat and looked down in embarrassment. Even the dumbest people had passed that course and moved on with their life, and here she was still struggling to even understand the first unit in the textbook. Statistics right? Veer asked. Bani looked over at him, once again taken aback by how much he knows, and nodded. Veer turned into the parking lot of the mall and pursed his lips as he drove around trying to find a spot. Muje pattah hai tum mere sone ke bhaad chup chup ke apne laptop parr study karti hi. Sweetheart...isme kya hai? I know ke tum muje stupid samajti ho lekin main college mein topper tha...shaiytaaniya isliye karta tha kyunke those classes were so bloody boring and easy. Aur statistics? Voh tere bhaaye haath ka kel hai. Main study karne mein maddat kar sakhta hoon. Bani leaned into him and looked at him hopefully. Tum...tum muje sikhaa sakte ho? She asked. Veer turned around and pinched her cheek. Of course! Tum meri biwi ho...main chaahta hoon ke tum zindagi mein bauhat bauhat bauhat successful ho. Aur kya pattah? Shayad meri company mein mere saath khaam karne lagg jao? Fir toh hum chup cup ke office parr romance karenge. Bani slapped his hand away and glared at him to make him focus. Veeranshu...sach sach bataao. Main toh private tutor hire karne vaali thi...tum mazaak toh nahi karr rahe? It's my last chance aur bass yehi class bachi hai...if I fail...toh firr meri poori degree bi...Veer sighed and looked at her as she lowered her gaze. He could tell how much this meant to her and wanted to do everything he could to help her. The old Veer would show his cheel eyes to the professor and make him change Bani's mark to a pass, but the new one knew that in order to gain Bani's love he had to do things the right way. Veer held Bani's hand gently. Gharwali...main vaada karta hoon. I'll make sure you pass. Kitna waqt hai? Bani frowned and said Bas do hafte...Veer...it's not enough time...main...main fail hojaaongi...I'm such an idiot. Even that brainless Dehek is almost done her degree...aur main...main toh bass house wife hi rehgayi. Veer pulled Bani up slightly and brought her hands to his face. He looked at her with conviction and said Bani...aisa kuch nahi hoga. Main balla apni sweetheart ka sarr neeche hone doonga? Hum poore mann lagaake study karenge. Every day after I get home...I promise. Pass kya...main tumaare marks poore hundred percent banaadoonga. Bani laughed and shook her head. Veeranshu aisa nahi ho sakhta. Mera mark toh barely 40% hai class mein...'Basic concepts of Probability' ke bhaad toh my brain just becomes mush...and that's until Unit one. Aur exam mein kitne calculations karne parte hai...aur hume formulas bi yaadh karne padde ge....main kaise karrungi yeh sabh yaadh...pichli bhaar almost theen gante lagg gaye...aur fir bi main finish nahi karr paayi. Almost saath saalon ke liye mein iss degree ke peeche paddi hon. Aggar main firse fail hogayi toh main kya moo lekhar jaaongi chachu ke paas jisne meri studies ke liye paise diye chachi ke peeth peeche? Bass saare paise barbaad....a complete waste. Just like me. She sat back down in her chair and started to sniffle a little. Whoa! Whoa! Gharwali...kuch bi kaho...lekin don't ever call yourself a waste. Maine kahaan na? I will make you pass with flying colours. Okay abh yeh sabh chodho...challo. Mehek ke liye koi hot pink gift doond the hai. Bani looked at Veer and smiled when his back was turned. She watched as he opened her door for her and held her hand, making sure steps down safely in her heels.
