Vani FS - Piya Saanware

Part II

Hello Vani Hearts ❤
How are you all?
I started writing this story a few months ago. Was not able to complete it because of lack of ideas. Now that I have a few I am optimistic about finishing this story. I hope you enjoy the read.

Mistake. She made a mistake. 'Its okay Bani' she spoke to herself 'After all this is your first Karwachauth'. Her mother in law would have given her Sargi if she was around. But that is not the case right now. Bani should have thought about everything. She did not, so she will have to find some food for herself. She opened the fridge making a mental note to plan her Sargi well in advance the next time.

Bani's stomach did ecstatic cartwheels as she turned her eyes upon the chocolate ice cream sundae in the refrigerator. A ruby-red cherry perched atop the inviting drizzle of gooey syrup. Colourful sprinkles were tauntingly scattered upon the bowl of goodness. She almost neglected to pick up a spoon as she eagerly reached for the delectable dessert. Chocolate ice cream at the beginning of the day. She could not have asked for more. She placed a spoonful in her mouth, the silky-smooth texture that came forth brings nothing but pure bliss. And so many good memories. The plausible taste of true love, the perfect mix of bitter and sweet with a surprising tinge of mint felt like pure luxury. It had been such a long time that she had enjoyed some good chocolate ice cream.

"I guess I am missing something." Veer playfully raised an eyebrow seeing his wife who looked more like an excited child right now. Ice cream smeared on her mouth.

"Veer tum... Iss waqt yahaa?" Bani was surprised.

"Main toh tumhaare liye aayaa hoon sweet heart." Veer walked towards her.

"Veer subah ke saadhe teen baje hai, please jaakar aaraam karo. Thakaan ho rahi hogi tumhe. Main apni sargi khaakar aati hoon."

"Mujhe bhi sargi khaani hai." Veer announced.

"Par sargi toh..." Realization dawned on Bani at this moment. "Tumhe bhi vrat rakhna hai?"

"Obviously sweet heart."

"Veer you really don't have to, Husbands nahi rakhte Karwachauth ka vrat. Tum jaante ho naa koi compulsion nahi hai."

"Baaki husbands ke baare mein main kuch nahi jaantaa lekin mujhe yeh tumhaare liye karna hai Mrs. Veeranshu Singhania. Tum bhi meri iklauti patni ho, tumhaare liye vrat nahi karunga toh aur kiske liye karunga." Veer winked.

"Lekin..." Bani was thinking about a logical argument.

"We are in this together Bani. Agar tum meri lambi umar ke liye pray kar rahi ho toh main bhi tumhaari lambi umar ke liye pray karunga."

"Aisa nahi hota" Bani tried to protest.

"Mere pyaar mein aisa hi hota hai jaan, sab equal equal.  Agar tum vrat rakhogi toh main bhi rakhunga." Veer said in finality.

"Agar main kuye mein jaa kar kudungi toh tum bhi kudoge?" Bani literally blabbered whatever came to her mind. She knew Veer cared for her very much. She also knew that many husbands do fast for their wives but she did not expect Veer to do something like that for her.

"Chalo! Kaunse kuye mein kudna hai?" Veer wiggled his eyebrows. Both of them laughed. "Paagal" Bani whispered.

"Veer, main tumhaare saath argue karke tumhe aur pareshaan nahi karungi, I really appreciate ke tum meri itni parwah karte ho. Thank you."

"Fridge mein fruits hai aur salad bhi. There is some milk and bread as well. Help yourself." Bani gave some suggestions and concentrated back on her ice cream which had begun to melt.
