QAYAMAT

--4--

Next day Bani silently sneaked out from Singhania's house without Veer's notice. She called Roshni to Naag temple, while she reached there. She wanted to discuss with Roshni her doubts on Jai. She didn't wanted to believe that Jai attacked her yesterday night, but all the proofs were proving that he was in Singhania's mansion yesterday. If Rudra wouldn't have come in time, she would have died because that arrow was made from the poison of Eagle God, even though she is resistant to poison but still it would have made her weak. After few hours, Roshni reached Naag temple.

Roshni: Hello Aadi-naagin! What happened? Why you called me in this early morning?
Bani: you were right, Roshni.
Roshni: right about what?
Bani: that Jai is backstabbing his own clan. Moreover, he is being helped by evil eagles as well.
Roshni: oh I see, what should we do now?
Bani: I will confront him. Veer always warned me that Jai is bad but I never believed him. How would I apologise?(feeling frustrated)
Roshni: you shouldn't confront Jai without any proof. We should find a proof against him then confront him, and don't worry your love-struck husband will forgive you. I have seen in his eyes how much he cares for you.
Bani: well, if you know everything about Veer then I know that you love Rudra as well!
Roshni: ah... you are mistaken Bani!
Bani: I'm not. I have seen in your eyes, when you see him a smile comes on your face.
Roshni: but he doesn't share the same feelings as mine!
Bani: that's the thing I noticed yesterday, I think he loves someone else.
Roshni: he loves you! He has always loved you!
Bani: what?
Roshni: yes, he knows you are the majestic Aadi-naagin and I'm a naagin as well. But still he saved us because he cares for you.
Bani: I'm sure, you are mistaken. How can he loves me?
Roshni: I'm saying the truth. He loves you, he can never love me. I think we should leave. Your husband would be waiting.

They both exited the Naag temple after giving their prayers. Roshni was looking sad because she was crying on her fate for being soo delusional. While Bani promised to herself that she will act as cupid for Rudra and Roshni, she can't see her friend sad. Roshni left to find information about Jai while Bani left to her home.

When Bani reached Singhania mansion, nobody was home. A maid informed her that all went to the office so Bani retired to her room. She was thinking how to find the truth behind Jai's evil nature and how to bring Rudra and Roshni closer. She was startled by the sound of door opening, she saw Veer entering. When he saw her, he smiled like he was longing for this moment.

Veer: Sweetheart! Where did you go in the morning? I was worried for you.
Bani: I went to the temple.
Veer: temple? For what?
Bani: to pray!(she rolled her eyes at his insensitive questions)
Veer: pray for who?
Bani: for myself obviously!
Veer: that's soo mean! I was expecting that you would say that you went to pray for my long life.
Bani: why you dream soo high?(annoyed)
Veer: because I'm an eagle!
Bani: very funny!
Veer: what happened Gharwali? You are a bit too angry today.
Bani: well, I got to know a big secret today.
Veer: what?
Bani: that your business partner Rudra Mehta loves me. Isn't this funny?
Veer: are you serious?
Bani: no, I'm Bani. (Rolling her eyes)
Veer: Bani, I'm not joking. You are angry because he likes you and you couldn't marry him.(anger visible in his voice)
Bani: what the hell is wrong with you Veeranshu? I'm angry that why does he loves me.
Veer: huh? I didn't understand.

Bani pointed him the place next to her and he was beyond happy that his wife was asking him to sit next to her for the very first time. He sat a bit too closer much to Bani's dislike.
