Hello Vani Hearts ❤
I hope you are doing well.

Veer sat on his side of the bed, busy working on his laptop. Bani lay on her side of the bed busy looking at him. 

She had to admit he is an attractive man.  A beautiful face. Beautiful men are rare to find, she thought but he was one of them. Well defined, with a sharp jaw and angular cheekbones. The complexion of his skin going well with his brown eyes. She was trying to figure out what do they look like - lustrous mahogany or dark chocolate? It has never been just one feature makes Veer so handsome, though his eyes come close. But she does not know why she finds his shoulders oddly appealing. They are broad and strong. There is something about his shoulders that intrigues her. Something, that is not too much, maybe just enough. 

She caressed the  silhouette of his shoulder through the translucent embroidered curtain just because she wanted to. Unwillingly she took back her hand in a few moments. She looked away and blinked her eyes. What if he had caught her doing what she was doing? 

Happy is what she felt when he came back to the room after a long day's work. She has him all to herself for the rest of the night. Usually he is energetic like fireworks and chatter; but today he is so quiet, unwinding after a busy schedule. Still checking some emails. Just being near him makes her feel safe and serene. It brings with it a sense of calm. It is because of Veer that she is able to laugh freely without thinking much. There was a time when  she used to react, scream and get angry. Veer has helped her to deal with her emotions in a better way. It feels so different, so nice. She is truly grateful that she can keep this happiness for herself, close to her heart. 

"Veer" She said his name. 

Veer paid attention to her features. Her long brown hair were carelessly splayed on the pillow .The feeling of long loose hair always reminded him of Bani. Brown tresses that cascade down her back like mesmerizing waves. It does not matter who it belongs to. He guesses that could be wrong but he cannot help it. Her eyes are the deepest shade of the richest earth. A studded nose pin would actually suit her pointed nose, he thought. A deep curve on her lips honestly made the world stop around her. A smile that bring back to him a million memories in a split second. 

"Gharwaali, mujhe pata hai ke main bohot handsome hoon. Mujhe aise taadne ki zarurat nahi hai." Veer teased her. Bani felt so shy. He did catch her in the act. 'Ab Veer ko nahi taadogi toh kise tadogi? It's okay Bani, it's okay.' Her heart teased her even more. 

"Mujhe Ponky ne bataya ke kal tumhara birthday hai, bohot khush hai woh. " Bani began a conversation.

"Haan, waise khush toh tum bhi bohot lag rahi ho." Veer continued. 

"Khush toh main bhi hoon, kal Karwachauth jo hai." Bani spoke with a smile. 

"Wahi festival naa jisme patni apne pati ke liye poora din vrat rakhti hai? Maine TV pe dekha thha." Veer scratched his head trying to remember exactly which TV show it was. 

"Haan Haan wahi wala." Bani chuckled looking at his cute expression. 

"You know sweet heart mujhe aise vrat ka logic hi samajh mein nahi aataa. Kisi bhi patni ko apne pati ke liye poora din bhookha rehne ki kya zarurat hai?"

"Baat logic ki nahi hai Veer, Baat riwaaz ki hai, vishwas ki hai, pyaar ki hai." Veer was suddenly more interested in this conversation after Bani mentioned the word love. 

"Tum kal vrat rakhogi?" Veer asked curiously not trying to hope against hope about anything extraordinary. Trying to talk himself into being completely fine if Bani did not fast.
